You can't do this. Bootloader will stop you from downgrading as your bootloader doesn't support this.
You will get a binary error.

You can do it with a lower bootloader.
Regardless doing so will trip KNOX.

There's a downgrade bootloader available in the Note 3 Developer Discussion's KNOX thread. Go check that out. Look for the guy called RuchRa or something.

Just use the pit and then use any 4.3 firmware and it will downgrade greatly.

910F no-brand soft bricked

Hi guys. I have a no-branded 910F.
I flashed the 5.1. FW for 910F branded H3G. I had no luck, and it failed at the end saying (ext4). I guess it's because i tried flashing a branded FW on a no brand phone.
I guess i could fix this by flashing a correct version of 5.1 but for now it's not present.
Is there something i can do? Can i flash the correct version of 5.0.1?
Thanks.
