[Q] Help me!

is that possible to downgrade from 4.3 to 4.2.2 on my i9505?
I did read some subjects about that the 4.2.2 is better than 4.3 , and the downgrade is impossible because the knox will refuse the downgrade process , so if I root my i9505 and flash any 4.2.2 custom ROM with knox free , after that , is that possible to flash the stock 4.2.2?
thank you my teachers

the only way that I know of to downgrade to 4.2.2 is by flashing the south african 4.2.2 firmware and then you can flash your country's 4.2.2 firmware

[Q] Downgrading Note 4 910C to Kitkat

Hi,
I have a Note 4 910C that I upgraded to Lollipop (official version but from another country) and I'm thinking about downgrading to Kitkat because the official lollipop version in my country is not available yet and I also have problems with Waze. Will downgrading from Lollipop to Kitkat (official version of my country) activate the knox flag or is it safe to do without losing warranty?
TIA.

It is safe AFAIK. Download the official KitKat rom for your region and flash it using Odin.
Edit: do remember to perform a factory reset before and after flashing the official ROM.

Downgrade SM-N900W8 to 4.3 MJ1 from NA2 leaked Mexican ROM

Hello
So I have a Note 3 SM-N900W8 in Canada that came with Android 4.3 (MJ1 Telus) . Wanting to try 4.4.2 I waited until a method that allowed downgrades came out (The Mexican NA2 method)
So I updated to the 4.4.2 NA2 ROM and then to X-Note 4.4.2 (no idea of version, just remember it was X-Note 4.4.2 and I'm still on NA2 leaked bootloader.) After using it for about a year I want out and want to downgrade back to MJ1 4.3 due to instability. I have a copy of the 4.3 MJ1 tar.md5 on a external drive.
So just to make sure without getting a brick. I just insert the 4.3 MJ1 tar.md5 from SamMobile in Odin, go into Download Mode and it will downgrade to 4.3 including the bootloader? Just confirming.
Thanks
