Can I get the bootloader for my original I9505XXUDMH6_I9505OLBDMG1_XME (4.2.2) firmware as a separate file or is it built into the firmware? I flashed the I9505XXUEMJ5_I9505OLBEMJ5_XME (4.3) firmware and now I desperately want to downgrade back to 4.2.2.

Hi,
Once you have the knox bootloader,it is no longer possible to downgrade.

Hi malybru,
Thanx for the info.
Hi,
I am on the latest stock NG1 Rom after upgrading with Mobile Odin Pro from NB7 which I had successfully rooted with Towelroot. Since MOP doesn't flash bootloaders I am still on the old NB7 bootloader and so far I am fine and don't have any issues. But I have 2 questions.
First, is it better to subsequently flash the new bootloader with Odin each time I upgrade my firmware with MOP and everroot? Are there any benefits to that?
And secondly: if I upgrade my old NB7 bootloader to NG1 now and later - if I get softbricked or smth - downgrade again to NB7 with Odin to reroot the phone with Towelroo,t will I trigger Knox because of downgrading the bootloader?
Thanks very much in abvance.
Its not possible to downgrade your bootloader. End of conversation.

Which means that if I upgrade the bootloader to NG1 and then try to flash with Odin the NB7 firmware with the old bootloader I simply won't be able to boot or get bricked?
Or maybe I can reflash the old NB7 firmware and then (without auto start option in Odin) flash the new bootloader right away to get the phone running?
For example: if you were on Android V4.3 you will be on the Jelly Bean bootloader. If you then updated to Android V4.4 your Jelly Bean bootloader will be updated to the KK bootloader. However, you can still run Jelly Bean on the KK bootloader. But you cannot downgrade the KK bootloader to the older Jelly Bean bootloader.
Hi,
just wanted to ask whether there is any benefit in upgrading the bootloader each time you upgrade your firmware with Mobile Odin Pro. I am presently on the latest GNG1 for N9005 but my bootloader is still NB7. So far I have not encountered any issues because of that. Simply wanted to know if I gain anything if I upgrade my bootloader to NG1 now. Thanks in advance.
I am on NB3, have tried dozens of roms, TW and AOSP, and had no problems.
Hey all, Back from kryosleep after long time.
Was wondering if downgrading to 4.2.2 [1st Firmware, when shipped] possible from the 5.0.1? Back then the Bootloader, modem, etc were separate and knox was unheard of.
I just want to downgrade to 4.2.2 or 4.3 if possible.
Awaiting answers.....

Achyut.
No impossible with stock. Only with custom rom (if you find any still out there).
I would like to know if it is possible to downgrade the bootloader and modem when on a newer version of software?
For example, I'm on a COJ3 5.1.1, is it possible to downgrade the bootloader to a previous 5.1.1 or even the 4.4.4 bootloader while staying on 5.1.1?
I have consistent battery problems even after a factory reset and buying a new battery so thats why I'm trying to find a solution.
