Hi all.
I live in South Africa and installed the 4.4.2 Firmware update on my Samsung Galaxy 10.1 2014 Edition SM-P601 using Odin (STUPID). I would like to downgrade back to 4.3 stock version as when the device came with.
I have read a few forums and articles and it seems that you can downgrade due to Knox installed on the device.
When using Odin to downgrade to V4.3 I get the error message on Odin NAND write start and this then fails
I have the original firmware version 4.3 for South Africa but cannot install this.

Any help will be appreciated or steps to downgrade.

Thanks in advanced.

I flashed the nordic version of 4.4.2 build number KOT49H.P605XXUCNF2 in place of the 4.4.2 that was offered to us. I found it laggy and screen blinking. Immediately after flashing through Odin, I did a factory reset and only then reinstalled my apps. At the moment still quite happy with performance.
