I know this has probably been asked before. I am currently on 4.4.2 (Omega but upgraded to 4.4.2 through Odin) but what issues would arise if I were to flash a stock rooted 4.3 zip through custom recovery? Would it work without an issue?
Yes you can flash I now tested omega 19 and working good only work on castom rom not stock
Sorry for bad eng

Hey all, I'd like to install this rom, but my phone (S4 international GT-i9505) is KN0X tripped on 4.3. I currently run 4.3 stock. Is it safe to install this rom, and is it possible to downgrade back to 4.3 stock after?

Yup you can flash any custom rom via custom recovery and Yes you can still downgrade your phone into 4.3 stock rom but remember not to flash a Stock 4.4.2 Kitkat firmware because flashing 4.4.2 firmware can no longer downgrade to 4.3 stock rom. Flashing any custom rom/root will trigger your knox and If you wanna know more about knox , check this thread Have a nice day.
Well, since this is noob-friendly, would I be able to install a Custom ROM IF there were one available for 4.4.2? I got a Custom Recovery from Autorec and it said it downgraded my Bootloader so that it can install and old version of TWRP.

you can install any rom for your device as long as you meet the following-
a)if you are flashing a kk rom(g pro 2/flex kk/stock kk) then you just just have to either be on kk with recovery or flash the kk baseband for your device
b)if on kk and you want to flash jb rom(stock jb/flex jb) you need to flash the jb baseband at the same time as you flash the rom
c)if you want to flash an aosp rom you either check if it supports stock kk/if it doesn't mention anything flash a kk ported baseband for aosp kk or flash a jb baseband while flashing aosp rom

Yeah, it works! Thanks for verifying for me!
Hi Guys, I am fairly new to flashing and rooting. Have successfully done on my Galaxy S5 and now trying on my Note 3 - N9005. I tried flashing a latest 4.4 rom - Echoe rom and it got stuck in Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Logo. Now i have flashed stock rom (Australian Vodafone) running 4.3. My question is since i am trying to flash a 4.4.2 rom, do i need to do anything specific or just flash TWRP and install a custom rom? i noticed there were 2 versions of TWRP one ofr 4.3 and one for 4.4. I am confused as to since i am on 4.3 version do I flash TWRP 4.3 version? or since i am looking to flash 4.4 rom should i install TWRP 4.4 at first place?

you need 4.4 twrp. It should be 2.7.1 I think. you also need to me sure the Rom is compatible with your phone.

During my first try, i had TWRP for 4.3, which allowed me to flash Echoe Rom based on 4.4 (latest version) for N9005, it even showed me success notification but it never booted past Samsung logo. I then flashed TWRP 4.4 version, but it then wouldn't boot in recovery. i reflashed TWRP 4.3 version and as last resort i had to flash stock firmware.
I will now flash TWRP 4.4 version at first instance and try flashing a rom again. maybe will try a different rom. Thanks for your suggestion :good:
This should be in Q and A don't be surprised if this thread gets closed ..

hello there.
u were sayin u r on 4.3 JB rom.
ur device is N9005 international 32gb right?
let me tell u 1 thing which is a good thing to remember.
4.4 rom will need a 4.4 bootloader.
since u r on 4.3, u must be on 4.3 bootloader which is incompatible with 4.4 rom. flashing twrp for kitkat won't help.
steps that u need to take (easiest) :
1. download 4.4.2 stock firmware.
2. flash with odin v3.09
3. root with cf autoroot (download the KK version)
3. flash custom recovery for KK version (twrp/cwm/ philz). I personally prefer cwm as it has give me less trouble for any custom rom.
4. u can flash any 4.4.2 custom rom now.

THANK YOU!!! This makes lot of sense.:good: I will upgrade to KK first, then custom recovery and then rom. One question? 4.4 is not yet available for my carrier in Australia. can I download and install the Poland version that is floating around internet. Or would you recommend some other.

I had a stock untouched I9506 on LP 5.0.1 which I rooted and flashed TWRP. Can I now flash through TWRP a KitKat stock ROM?Will I have any isues?
Anyone?
Sure you can. If it doesn't work you can always revert back.
hi guys, i have flashed android 5.0 stock with odin to my n9005 and then got recovery mode on my phone TWRP and flashed a couple of android 5.0 roms.. now im wondering if im able to go to kitkat (x-note) rom without any problems... my phone bootloader modem n stufs etcs are in lollipop's now as i used odin to upgrade it last time.
Yes you can go back to kitkat just flash kitkat firmware with odin and that's all
Flashing a custom ROM should not touch your installed bootloader or modem.
Try flashing a custom ROM with your existing bootloader and modem. If it doesn't work properly, then consider changing the bootloader and modem.
