After upgraded my S4 i9500 from 4.2.2 to 4.3 XUEMJ5 via Kies, I'm having a lot of troubles regarding battery drain and overheating.
I came to the Samsung Services Center yesterday and asked them to downgrade my device back to 4.2.2, but their answer is "Sorry, we cannot do it. Once upgraded to 4.3, there is no way to reverse to 4.2" ?!?!!?!?!
Is it true? Has anybody tried to downgrade your S4 from 4.3 to 4.2
Thanks for your advice!

I had the same issue. There seems to be a problem downgrading to certain 4.2.2 roms. I eventualy managed to downgrade using the South African version (I9500XXUBMH1) . After you've flashed this,you can re-flash whichever ROM you prefer.
Give it a go and let me know.
Cheers
you are you kidding

Are you really serious? So you can downgrade from 4.3 to 4.2.2 using that firmware? What does your knox say in download mode?

Unfortunately it states:
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom
Warrant Bit: 1
But it doesn't really bother me for now, until I have to send it back for repairs I guess
I'm sure the Chainfire guys will eventually be able to reset this counter as the TriangleAway is currently not supporting the GS4 I9500.
Cheers
So is there a specific way you have to flash it or do i just use odin?
Do i flash the roms back to back or what?

You can flash stock rom 4.2.2 through odin to downgrade. You can find the rom in the forum of I9500 or on sammobile.com. But you may face problems with IMEI. Happened to me.
Hello,
I have a question, If I install 4.4.2 can I still downgrade to 4.3?
Thank you!

No, you can no longer downgrade your phone into 4.3 stock rom after flashing 4.4.2 leak..but you can still dowgrade to 4.3 Custom Rom or aosp or cm11 Have a nice day.
Sent from Hell ?
I already flashed the modem and bootloader of 4.4.2, is it still possible to go back to stock 4.3 ?

Hello guys,
I want to try new update but,if I upgrade to 5.1.1 can I later go back to 5.0.1(stock one)?
And any bugs on 5.1.1?I read something abot fingerprint on lockscreen?it true? "
******************************************************
We got new update for N910C,is someone try to flash last bootloader and go back to COH4 or even 5.0.?
********************************************************
Ok now with MM 6.0.1 we can back to 5.1.1(CPB3) but no to 4.4.4
Dunno can you downgrade but, i had fingerprint problem and lag after lockscreen. Full wipe and deactivating smart lock(it was activated by default) seems to solve everything for now.
Pa:it was happening on mobile data.
Yes you can downgrade from 5.1.1 to 5.0.1
I installed 5.1.1 but returns to 5.0.1 with odin without problems

I used odin and firmware N910CXXU1BOE1 [Trinidad y Tobago] afert a hard reset and it's all. I have 5.0.1 in my note 4 n910c
I guess you need to do some steps to revert back to KK , you wanna downgrade from major firmware to another not simple update like 5.1.1 to 5.0.1
be sure what u doing or you may get in bootloop or something worse.
Downgrading to 5.0.1

Don't think so.
it was said you cannot downgrade as some security fix.
samsung has put some bootloader and that will brick your phone.
Anyway guys from here can make some hope.

No major steps. Same steps regardless of OS version.

100% you can downgrade. Takes about 5 minutes if you already have the firmware.

Hm, so downgrading to 4.4.4 causes knox 0x1, but to 5.0.1 is warranty-safe?

Yeah, I know it, but the question is about downgrading to KitKat It should be safe as well, but a confirmation is needed.

Me too, I was rooted but found nothing great from doing so. Note 4 didn't run any better. So I had knox 1 anyhow.
5.1.1 is cool.
So yeah you can flash back to kk
