First: do not post questions in the general section.
Second: you can flash any xz 4.4. ftf file, you don't need root or an unlocked bootloader

As stated in the CF-Auto-Root thread.
What's installed
- SuperSU binary and APK
- Stock recovery

So yes, it installs stock recovery when you use it.

But once you have the stock ROM rooted, you can use the ROM manager app or the too manager app to easily install cwm recovery or twrp recovery without having to deal with Odin anymore. Its literally 1 click in the app and it does the work for you.
Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.

Ya true. Long time since I used CF-auto-root. Custom roms that I'm using now are pre-rooted.

First flash a custom recovery with ODIN like CWM or PhilZ touch, then flash the Adam Kernel thru it!
hmmkay i hope i find the right versions the first time

If you are running the kitkat firmware with the new bootloader there is no way to downgrade.

Mission impossible for KNOX bootloader
Reboot into download mode check KNOX

rooted 5.0 how do you apply the OTA 5.0.1 update?

What needs to be done to get the update? Unroot and apply update?
Thanks
Install the stock recovery. Root shouldn't make any difference.

You cannot allowed to downgrade 4.3.

My N9005 was on 5.0. and somehow with Odin 3.09 i could flash N9005VJUBMI7 which supposedly is a 4.3 Stock ROM. Odin said successful but phone never booted up. No power key / download keys/ recovery keys/ usb/ charger/ led response. Totally bricked :crying:
I'm not sure how Odin allowed to flash.
Trying to awake the Note3 since yesterday using microSD card method, but, no luck so far..
You still want to downgrade to 4.3? :laugh: Good luck
Ok thank you.

maesiva --- you can go to KK (4.4) ... just try flashing stock from sammy mobile. If it doesn't work, flash stock 5 (not a modified rom, but stock).
PS - should be able to do by Odin.

It is possibile to downgrade GT i9505 from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2?

It is possibile?

It's impossible, because 4.4.2 includes KNOX bootloader and 4.2.2 not.

I have tried before MIUI v5 that based on Android 4.2.2 accidentally and it doesn't trip my KNOX bootloader.
Even if you tried KNOX-free ROM, it isn't 100% free, because of bootloader. So NEVER try to flash stock firmware 4.2.2 over 4.4.2!
