[Q] Bootloader free N9005 downgrade 4.4.2 to 4.3? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The question here is N9005 is on 4.4.2 firmware.
Is it possible to downgrade using bootlloader free custom rom using CWM?
Since it is not possible to downgrade bootloader this could only be possible if 4.3 can work with bootloader of 4.4.2. And sure it will void KNOX warranty.
Here is a bootloader free custom rom

Wait. Are you saying you can downgrade back to jellybean without downgrading bootloader?

4.4.2 runs only with 4.4 bootloader. 4.3 runs only with 4.3 bootloader. You can't use 4.3 ROM with 4.4 bootloader or vice-versa.
You have to downgrade or stick with KitKat. First one being impossible as far as we know.

[Q] i9505 safe update?

Hi all
I have i9505 with:
AP: XXUDMH9
CP: XXUDMH9
CSC: DTMDMH2
The device is stock as it could be but is already with the KNOX bootloader. If I flash the following firmware (downloaded from $amsung) will my device status and knox counter remain untouched? (flash with odin 3)
PDA: I9505XXUEMKF
CSC: I9505OXXEMK3
MODEM: I9505XXUEMKF
The correct firmware for ya is: HERE. In theory only KNOX will be 0x1 if u root it, u want come back to android 4.2.2 or install custom kernel/recovery. Flashing STOCK ROM dont have to be a problem with KNOX :fingers-crossed:

Hi mate
As long as you flash with Odin knox counter will not be trigger , as far as i know I9505 modems can only be flashed with a recovery so any modem should be safe to flash
Check this thread , they hav a nice collection of modems

If that doesn't work have you tried flashing a kitkat rom via recovery.

i tried flashing a custom rom via cwm but it simply wont work dont know why
I think it's because of the new bootloader ...that's what someone say here on xda

If your phone is rooted then try this by installing the Kit Kat stock TouchWizHome.apk by moving it to system folder and then changing permission then move it into priv-app folder.
This is from Note 4 and delete the TouchWizHome.odex file as well and reboot.
View attachment TouchWizHome.apk
This is from Samsung Galaxy S5 Kitkat but not sure to remove or replace the odex file and reboot.

Back up your TouchWizHome apk and odex file to SD card or create a recovery backup such as CWM first as I not tried or it will work so you can restore original files.
WTF Really it is not possible to downgrade to kitkat stock 4.4.2 when you install Lollipop? Fk Samsung,will not install stock if it's like this.

It seems some people are able to downgrade and some not.
I downgraded successfully to 4.4.2. I wiped everything (even /system) [with Philz Touch] and restored my 4.4.2 Nandroid-Backup. After the restore i wasnt able to boot the system successful, so i flashed the latest 4.4.2 via odin (G900FXXU1ANJ1_G900FXEO1ANJ1_XEO). To restore root and my custom settings i just flashed Philz Touch again and restored my /system folder from my Nandroid-Backup again.

The KNOX version now is 2.3 when downgrading knox can cause problems so i'd wait for newer 5.0 firmwares to flash
You should have done a CMW backup (4.4.2) before the upgrade to Lollipop (5.0)
With the (4.4.2) backup you would have been able to revert the system back to 4.4.2 but leaving the baseband not downgraded since Lollipop.

i downgraded for the lollipop to kitkat firmware and this is what i did:
1. BACKUP EFS , THATS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.
2.flash TWRP with odin.
3.go to recovery and wipe data and system and cache
4.flash the kitkat firmware via odin
5.it will not boot so go back to download mode and
reflash the kitkat firmware again via odin
6.boot to recovery then wipe data/factory reset
7.boot to system and YAY it works
