[Q] rooted NC5 downgrade to aosp?

Hi everyone,
I have a question... I took the NC5 OTA update not knowing it would lock up the device, in fact the first time I turned it on it was the only option to upgrade or delay it. So I've completed gogolies OTA downgrade to rooted upgrade (NC5) and it worked! every happy about that. However I really want something pure AOSP. Can I downgrade again to an older version in order to load something like AKOP or Cyanogenmod? I looked around for 4.4.2 roms and was unable to find anything pure... when I say pure I mean the AOSP images, icons, software nothing designed by Samsung.
Thank you,
Ck

Why do you need to downgrade? You can just flash any custom rom you want.
There are a lot of AOSP roms. You can find them in the Original Development section.

Thank you for the reply however I've tried to install AOKP and CM10 both on slot one and both failed (booted to black screens) and I don't see any I545 roms on this site. Could you point me in the correct direction? I'm currently running rooted 4.4.2 NC5 on i545
Thank you again,
Ck

Hi,
Please check for your specific device forum .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon
If you flashed a ROM from the threads on this forum it's very likely it didn't work because the international S4 is different from Verizon one .

[Q] So how do i get back?

Hi XDAians.
Guys i own a Samsung galaxy S4-I9505 and few months ago i tried root it and some how i did it successfully and later i unrooted it again i am using back the same stupid touchwiz but the problem i am facing is,
1.My phone doesnt gets automatic updates.(i have to do it manually by downloading firmware from samfirmware and then installing it through Odin)
2.Knox cant be installed.
3.The camera app sucks to the coreeeee auto focus sucks every time i get a blued image. out of 5 i only get one clear image
3.After my 4.4.2 update, i cant hide apps. And the touchwiz is so much bad compared to 4.3 .
So my question is is there any way i can fix those above problems?
Now i am willing to root it back again hence i wanted to know which custom rom comes with all the system apps and software(such as wifi direct etc etc) pre installed as touchwiz and which lets me free do play with it!!!
last time i installed CM i didnt have wifi at all and it was really a mess to get that (actually i didnt ) so unfortunately had to get back to touchwiz .
Guys please link me to full root tutorials and how to install custom rom too.

Goldeneye rom for gti9500 - which Zip file?
Sorry to ask this, but when trying to flash the Goldeneye rom on my wife's S4 GT i9500 International, it seems the zip file is for the Gti9505 zip instead . if you select either link for gti9500 or gti9595 on the Goldeneye XDA thread, it takes you to the same file page with the rom zip for both phones. I have a gt i9500 and downloaded the GE-XXUGNK4-49.2.zip as I assumed it was an update from GE-XXUGNK4-49, but when I try to flash it on my GT i9500 it asks which variant to choose from with US/Canada carriers or the gt i9505. Am I correct in assuming I therefore need to download the GE-XXUGNK4-49 version, or is it the GE-XXUGNK4-48.zip that I need for the GT i9500?
Your help would be great.

New here, have lurked for ages before finally pulling the trigger and doing away with stock.
After an insane amount of confused reading, I somehow managed to root and get goldeneye on my canadian S4.
But it looks like I don't get 4g or LTE anymore. In reading and searching I see many references to a canadian LTE fix, (im on Fido) but I just can't find the dang link.
Can someone point me in the right direction ? Thanks

But since you have break the knox you are not able to downgrade your phone i think

i also cant able to go back......****in chinease ver.... if i instal 4.4kik. through ozcan rom .... then phone's imei no. changes to null....:crying::crying:

facing the same problem here .but finally
Hi friends i flashed the CHN version lollipop after flashed that thing i can't go back to kitkat.but finally i flashed the 'philztouch recovery' via odin and rerooted and flashed the 5.0.1 gapps its done.but how can i go back to kitkat pls tell me any one?

There doesn't seem to be any fix for this. Some users posted that they managed to change to another rom, but they lost the IMEI and baseband. And they don't seem to be able to restore any of them. Even with a backup.

Probably not possible because you also can't downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3, so it makes sense that you can't downgrade.

R U sure
Folks,
I have the same problem.....
Tried to rollback to 4.4.2 and failed.... And I don't want to root>>>>
Did anyone tried some powefull tool to force the downgrade?

install cyanogenmod

i had the same prb with my s4 i9500 black edition. what i did is that i installed the official releas of android 5.0.1 (that you can find it in XDA forum) with odin than i downgrad it to 4.4.2 and the phone works.
I hope that it will work for you too

Is there a guide available to downgrade the 19505 from Lollipop ( at the moment i am using Official Cyanogenmod 12 5.0.2) to Kitkat ? I miss the features of the Xposed Modules very badly. In my opinion it is a disadvantage to upgrade your phone to Lollipop .

Downgrade Possible?

Hello folks,
So i just bought a new Note 4 SM-910C which is running android kitkat 4.4.4 out of the box. Everything is working fine except kitkat feels outdated and lags sometimes its not as fluid as lollipop on my Galaxy S5. I was thinking of flashing the stock lollipop rom available for my country from Sammobile. But as i was searching through forums....i read somewhere that its not possible to downgrade once you have upgraded to 5.1.1 or 5.0.1 . Kindly confirm the following
1) is it possible to flash stock 4.4.4 after flashing stock 5.0.1?
2) If i upgrade even further to 5.1.1 from 5.0.1 will i still be able to downgrade from 5.1.1 to 4.4.4?
3) Will any of these trip my knox (its imp as my phone is still under warranty)
Hardware question
the power button on my note 4 feels bit loose....its like i can press it from one side and the other side would come up a bit.....but it presses and clicks perfect nomatter where i press it ...upper end ....middle or lower end...is this normal for it to be little loose or should it be rock solid?
:good::good::good:
HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED BEST REGARDS

So. U CANT downgrade stock samsung rom. Because of the bootloader from samsung. And if u do. It will just brick ur device. And IF u rooted and have custom recovery. U can just like download kitkat rom that flashable from recovery. Then just do flash. And DONT install like lollipop rom if u still on KitKat bootloader. It may cause prob so if u have like L bootloader. U can go to kitkat using cusrom. (NOT ODIN) so yeah good luck

Im unable to understand what you Just said can you please simplify it.....andwhat about the hardware issue that i just mentioned i went to Market to check a few other phones only one of the six i checked had the same wobbly power button. Is this normal ?

The wobbly button is normal if u use it on long time. But. The downgrade is the hardware prob. Samsung decide that so we cant downgrade. If we do. We brick our device / destroy it. But if u use lollipop then root and install like kitkat custom rom via custom recovery. It will work fine. Because it didnt flash the older bootloader
