[Q] [I9505] Custom rom on KN0X tripped phone?

Hey all, I'd like to install this rom, but my phone (S4 international GT-i9505) is KN0X tripped on 4.3. I currently run 4.3 stock. Is it safe to install this rom, and is it possible to downgrade back to 4.3 stock after?

Yup you can flash any custom rom via custom recovery and Yes you can still downgrade your phone into 4.3 stock rom but remember not to flash a Stock 4.4.2 Kitkat firmware because flashing 4.4.2 firmware can no longer downgrade to 4.3 stock rom. Flashing any custom rom/root will trigger your knox and If you wanna know more about knox , check this thread Have a nice day.

hi guys, i have flashed android 5.0 stock with odin to my n9005 and then got recovery mode on my phone TWRP and flashed a couple of android 5.0 roms.. now im wondering if im able to go to kitkat (x-note) rom without any problems... my phone bootloader modem n stufs etcs are in lollipop's now as i used odin to upgrade it last time.
Yes you can go back to kitkat just flash kitkat firmware with odin and that's all
Flashing a custom ROM should not touch your installed bootloader or modem.
Try flashing a custom ROM with your existing bootloader and modem. If it doesn't work properly, then consider changing the bootloader and modem.

Revert back to stock, do I need to flash stock bootstack?

I am planning to revert my d800 G2 (running cloudyg2 3.3) back to stock lollipop to sell it. I tried this with another G2 and when I reverted to stock KitKat and took the lollipop OTA, the OTA bricked my phone. So obviously I'd like to avoid that this time. Do I need to flash a stock bootstack before reverting to stock or does flashing the tot revert everything anyway? Also I was coming from cm12 when the other G2 bricked, could that make a difference? Thanks guys!
If you revert to kitkat, stock bootstack must be flashed!
If u will flash tot then no need to flash any thing

revert to MM from N

Hello,
I want to flash back to marshmallow to get my camera working. Is this as simple as flashing a MM rom or do I need to flash a MM bootloader too?
Cheers
