Some of us have Upgraded to brazilian soak test lollipop 5.0
and want to revert back to kitkat maybe because we like kitkat more or want to flash the 5.0.1 lollipop update of Moto G Gpe
Here i made a working guide to successfully downgrade XT1033 To Kitkat 4.4.4
I know there are other methods out there for other models , but this is surely working method for XT1033 as well as XT1032
Tested On Indian Moto G XT1033

I dint try , But yea it should mostly boot up and work as the firmware is the same
xt1032
I can confirm that it works for the xt1032 model. I used the thread of how to flash 5.0.1 and ended up with being stuck on boot and after that i used this thread to revert and it works for xt1032 as the screen flickering just lock and unlock your device as stated in OP

It is the 4.4.4 GPE version for xt1032 the one you mentioned had different modems so i tried that one
This ROM GPE have dual sim?
I tried downgrading with Moto tool
Will this work if its stuck on the "bootloader unlocked screen"?
Edit: Its Booting!
edit 2: IT WORKED LIFE SAVER ***Hits thanks***
can you please explain easier how to upgrade now from 4.4.4 GPE to 5.0.1 - xt1032
Ripple effect.
every time i boot i get this weird line that acts like a magnifine glass and goes down the screen, it gets fixed if i lock aND UNlocks but when i tried to flash the GPE 1032 (*4.4.4) image it gets stuck in the "warning bootloarder unlocked " screen.
will it get fixed if i upgrade to the lollipop GPe edition?

try to reflash your stock 4.4.4 1033 firmware then flash 4.4.4 retail.en.US (or GB) 1032 firmware and only then flash GPE 4.4.4
Hope it'll work for you
I was facing the same issue.. The below steps worked for me..
. Diwnload uk firware.. GLOBAL version.. (retail GB)
Diwnload GPE 4.4.4
Copy non nhol and fsg files from GLOBAL frimware and Replace it in GPE firware.. The flash using mfastboot..
I have a question here which procedure do you recommend for flashing gpe

Tested on my XT1033.
Some steps are repetitive. That was the way I got back to 5.0.1 Stock after flash 5.0.1 GPE. If you find a shorter way, please tell me and I will add it here. Otherwise, please follow all the steps.
FIRST PARTY - Returning from 5.0.1 GPE to 4.4.4 GPE

3 - Reboot your phone in bootloader mode. Then plug your phone.
4 - Run BRAZILIAN 5 TO 4.4.4 GPE.BAT

8 - Download this (Motorola 4.4.4 - https://mega.co.nz/#!gs1WlIQK!nJA7Vc94DBfGFWGk1krcI5I2cKrJNGHnr_YekCBscwQ) and extract into Lollipop folder. Confirm overwrite files.
9 - Reboot your phone in bootloader mode. Then plug your phone.
10 - Run ANY FIRMWARE TO 4.4.4 GPE.BAT
11 - Boot phone. At this point, your phone will be running stock 4.4.4 motorola again
THIRD PARTY - Upgrading from 4.4.4 Motorola to 5.0 Motorola
12 - Download this (Motorola 5.0 - http://d-h.st/buH) and put it into internal memory.
13 - Reboot in recovery mode and flash it.
14 - If you are planning to upgrade to 5.0.1 ignore this step -- Wipe Data/Factory Reset
15 - Boot phone. At this point, your phone will be running stock 5.0 motorola.
FOURTH PARTY - Upgrading from 5.0 Motorola to 5.0.1 Motorola
16 - Download this (Motorola 5.0.1 - https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bwray3U603G8TklaOEhXM3NqVVE/edit) and put it into internal memory.

Alternative procedures:
1 - Going directly from 5.0.1 GPE to 4.4.4 Moto (suggested per @felipeap )
- In bootloader mode, flash gpt.bin file from 5.0.1 Moto. (It can be found in the OTA 5.0.1 Moto zip file)
- Then, flash 4.4.4 Moto (through bootloader mode)

There is no xt1032 stock 5.0 or 5.0.1 lollipop yet. If you're on the GPE 5.0.1 ,you'll have to wait until Motorola releases a OTA stock update to lollipop for the xt1032 before trying this method. I intend to just wait for the full stock lollipop firmware to be released before considering the idea of flashing back to stock.

If you didn't notice, you will be unzipping the Motorola stock firmware and hence over writing the GPE stock files. The commands are same for both.

Yes , as bootloader is not downgraded , but it will flicker at initial boot , if you lock
and unlock the device it will fix it.
Upgrading to lollipop again using the below link will again fix the issue.
If you want to upgrade lollipop 5.0.2 in future again then simply update using the link it's working , follow the step

N910T TMOBILE NOTE 4 IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DOWNGRADE TO OFFICIAL KITKAT BUT AFTER LOT OF RESEARCH I FOUND WITH N910T2 KITKAT FIRMWARE IT'S POSSIBLE AND I HAVE TESTED IT 100% WORKING.
YOU CAN DOWNGRADE DIRECTLY TO N910T2 KITKAT FIRMWARE NO MATTER YOU ARE ON 5.0 5.1.1 OR 6.0.1
JUST FLASH WITH ODIN N910T2 KITKAT FIRMWARE AND WIPE DATA FACTORY RESET AND WIPE CACHE IMMEDIATELY AFTER FLASH.
N910T2 FIRMWARE RUNS FLAWLESS ON N910T AND NO BUGS AT ALL EVERYTHING WORKING 100% EXACTLY LIKE N910F INTERNATIONAL VARIANT. NO TMOBILE APPS BLOATWARE NO TMOBILE BOOT ANIMATION OR SHUTDOWN ANIMATIONS NO WIFI CALLING.
DON'T TRY TO FLASH OFFICIAL N910T KITKAT FIRMWARE AFTER DOWNGRADE IT WILL NOT WORK I HAVE ALL READY TESTED IT.
NOW YOU CAN ENJOY KITKAT AGAIN WITH AMAZING BATTERY LIFE AND SPEED ALONG WITH CUSTOM ROMS LIKE DYNAMIC KAT, FIREKAT,INFAMOUS ETC.
YOU CAN FLASH AND ENJOY ANY CUSTOM KITKAT ROM WITH TWRP AND NADIA 4.4.4 KERNEL.
PLEASE NOTE-_- WIFI CALLING IS NOT SUPPORTED WITH N910T2 FIRMWARE .
IF YOU WANT WIFI CALLING FLASH ANY N910T BASED KITKAT ROM IN TWRP WITH NADIA KERNEL.
THIS METHOD ONLY FOR N910T T-MOBILE NOTE 4
IT WILL NOT WORK ON N910T3 OR ANY OTHER MODELS.
Download links N910t2 firmware from sammobiles.com http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/53342/N910T2UVU2AOG1_N910T2TMB2AOG1_TMB/

There is no n910t2 marshmallow or even lollipop available anywhere else.i search all over but only 4.4.4 kitkat available right now.

Yesterday i was messing around to downgrade from marshmallow to kitkat on my n910t but no luck since our locked bootloader but accidentally i downloaded n910t2 firmware from sammobiles.com and i thought i give it a try and guess what i fully downgrade to kithat without any errors in odin and firmware runs flawlessly on n910t everything works expect no wifi calling i think n910t2 is a modified firmware for those who dont want tmobile crap and bloatware the only issue i face when phone boot up is the playstore was lagging but after an hour phone settle down and works awesome 4glte and signal works great .remember no wifi calling supported in this firmware and your model number will change to n910t2 even tmobile boot animation logo not exist. It looks and run exatly like international n910f 4.4.4. After i downgraded i flash twrp and flashed drketen 4.4.4 rom and it works flawless so i did try to flash firekat and dynamic kat but they did not works with n910t2 bootloader.and also 1 thing i want to mention that i easily upgraded again to 5.1.1 dok2 and 6.0.1 epg2 firmware so no worries to switch back.

after flashing the 910t2 firmware to kit kat, did you try flashing the regular 910t 4.4.4 firmware over it?

Yes i did but sadly it doesn't works. I am preety sure that bootloader is not locked since i was able to downgrade by n910t2 kitkat firmware .Maybe tmobile put some kind of code thats why we cant downgrade to n910t kitkat .anyway atleast we can downgrade officially without rooting to kitkat at this point.but i am still trying to figure out if i can flash offcial n910t 4.4.4 firmware.
Hey bro..do you know how to extract the tar and make a baseband and BL only tar...it would be alot easier than downloading the whole firmware at 15kb a sec ha...if not I can do it if someone can upload the firmware to mega or drive

Uploading right away to mega bro but tell me how exatly bootloader and baseband files can be useful of n910t2.. ?

Download link to mega uploaded in thread.
It's not really I guess...it just makes it easier for anyone wanting to try it...because using a kk rom and twrp recovery you only need the baseband and BL...and it's less of a chance to mess up efs or something than when flashing the whole firmware

Yea i did try to flash ank4 but odin fails . You can downgrade to n910t2 kitkat bootloader but not n910t kitkat or even 5.0 lollipop odin will simply fail every time i donno why but good thing is somehow you can still enjoy kitkat.i am running kitkat n910t2 firmware on n910t and everything works perfect wifi/data/xposed/all sensors nothing is broken only wifi calling missing and battery life ofcourse kitkat is best. You can still flash kitkat roms but only international n910f ported kitkat roms i guess but you can try with different kernels if you wanna still use ank4 base roms .

Try flashfire. You can download just the bootloader and modem from a dev and try that program

Do you know it works ? I think not because the logic of not allowing older bootloader is in the phone and not in Odin

Yeah but custom 4.4.4 would have been even better..I will try t2 rom. .from sammobile right ? Also what msg u get when u flash custom rom on t2 firmware. ...and whilet flashing 910t 4.4.4 using odin .did u try repartition using pit file ?
I heard lot of good things about FireKat 4.4.4 rom , that is why i wanted to do this whole process of downgrading.
I don't know if it would work. I'm on a W8. Wouldn't hurt to try.

I did not try n910t pit file while i am on n910t2 bootloader i afraid it will brick the device i dont think its an good idea.but when i try to flash firekat rom on n910t2 bootloader the phone keep reboot by it self.maybe it should work with nk4 based kernels but ownestly i did not try cuz i am happy with n910t2 firmware

warning
This method will not work anymore if you upgraded to QI5 new bootloader/baseband because it's locked to binery 5 it's impossible to downgrade and dev firmware will fail in odin.
This method will only works with older bootloaders only before QI5
I have successfully downgraded to kitkat after pull my hair for days and unlocked for any sim worldwide if you guys like kitkat like me and wanna unlock your sim network follow these institutions.
1,download developer kitkat firmware and flash via odin 3.10 this firmware is for developers without user apps and its empty but good thing is it will let us downgrade to kitkat bootloader no matter you are on 5.0,5.1 1,6.0.1 just flash.
2,after flash developer firmware dont let phone boot immediately go to download mode and flash twrp recovery.
3,after flash twrp recovery flash sprintxnoteRC2 kitkat rom this will boot flawlessly to kitkat.
4,if you like to try other n910p based kitkat roms go to twrp and backup (boot) thats your kernel of sprint xnote RC2 rom before flash any kitkat rom cuz i donno somehow kernel of sprint xnoteRC2 let boot every rom successfully without any errors.just after flash any rom immediately go to twrp restore and restore (boot) kernel that you made earlier from sprintxnoteRC2 rom.
4,FOR UNLOCKING download SSU APK this will work with kitkat if your phone says INVALID SIM CARD just install as normal APK and open it will ask for root permision PRESS GRANT and unlock then reboot if still your phone dosent get signal bars then go to dialer and dial ##72786# and press YES it will reboot automatically your phone and hopefully you will have signal on gsm sim. if SSU apk method does not work download gt galaxy tools apk and unlock.grant root permission to galaxy tools and open app go down and you'll see UICC unlock just hit and restart device . also you can unlock tethering hotspot permanently from galaxy tools . THATS ALL. I AM SHARING YOU GUYS MY EXPERIENCE I HAVE TESTED THIS METHOD ON MY DEVICE AND i HAVE SUCCESSFULLY UNLOCED MY N910P AND DOWNGRADED FROM 6.0.1 TO KITKAT

I MADE THIS THREAD SPECIALLY FOR NETWORK LOCKED N910P USERS TO TEMPORORY DOWNGRADE TO UNLOCK NETWORK. BUT IF YOU END UP USING KITKAT ROMS THE FINGERPRINT SENSOR WILL NOT WORK.
FIX FOR FINGERPRINT
Flash og5 5.1.1 bootloader only along with with Nadia 4.4.4 kernel flash in twrp and you get everything working with any kitkat rom.
Or flash 5.1.1 6.0.1 stock firmware the fingerprint will work fine and unlocking will stick permanently
HiT THANKS:good::good::good:
Can I go back to a non-rooted, stock KitKat ROM without tripping KNOX?

Can you Odin any firmware after this?
If so, this is a game changer for kitkat lovers.
You can upgrade again to 5.1.1 & 6.0.1 n910p firmware but you cannot flash n910p official kitkat it will simply fail in odin.you can flash any kitkat n910p roms in twrp recovery with diffrent kernels also i have tested deodexed 4.4.4 n910p based rom and it works flawlessly with custom kernel .i have tested everything every firmware but sadly 4.4.4 n910p fail in odin .
Which kernel is it in that SprintxnoteRC2 rom? Any other kernel working with KitKat?
Ael kernel.

Ael kernel
how long has this kitkat developer firmware been leaked?
and can't you downgrade to official kitkat from the oldest 5.0.1? most of the "first new OS upgrade" won't block downgrades
6.0.1 --> 4.4.4 dev --> oldest 5.0.1 --> 4.4.4 official
edit:
also, does the dev firmware format internalsd like PB5?
Does the unlocking persist when upgrading to newer firmware?
Returned from PG1 to NK2 ( BoBCaTROM v2.0) following OP's tips. Since the purpose of flashing the dev tar is to update bootloader, I deleted the system file from the tar ball and ended up with a smaller file about 130 MB
download here.
From the attached screenshot we can see, the modem is AOF1, the kernel is AEL 5.5 (which is not shown in the screenshot).

This dev firmware i found accidently from a Chinese website they use to refurbish and spoof usa models to international models and resale again . I tried to flash official 4.4.4 but it fails in odin.its something to do with this developer firmware that it can let us downgrade to 4.4.4 .anyway you can use this dev firmware to downgrade and flash kitkat custom roms and kernels.
Binary invalid
