[Q] how to downgrade lollipop to kitkat? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. I have recently updated my note 3 N9005 Lte from Kitkat 4.4.2 to Lollipoo and also updated the BL,CSC,CP AND PIT File. Now is it possible to downgrade it back to Kitkat firmware? N9005XX...B7 BTU version ?

It's pretty simple.
1. Do the factory reset
2.Install KK via odin
3. Enjoy your KK
It worked for me on GNG1 ROM

I wouldn´t risk to do it like this. If you have updated the bootloader, I think you can´t just flash the KK via Odin. If you have updated the bootloader, there is no back to roll back. If not, you have still a chance.

flashing leaked KitKat
hi,
what about to flash the leaked KitKat which contains all the files needed for Odin, including bootloader? What do you think about it guys?

do upgrade with odine?????

I tried downgrading using the Leaked Polish KitKat to no help.
First tried to downgrade using the original Australian one. It failed by Odin.
Then tried with a .PIT file and the corresponding Germany firmware, didnt work either. Phone wasnt even switching on, gave some error saying firmware update went wrong, connect to Kies... or something similar.
Just to see I reinstalled the Lollipop, It worked just fine.
Then saw about the Polish KitKat leak with all the BL/CSC/AP and all files, downloaded and tried.
For my joy, It installed just fine, but my joy ended when I booted into the OS, it was all buggy, network not working, constant app crashing, camera fail, and made me really scared when It showed that my IMEI number is NULL!! I thought Im so done....
Then tried the German KitKat with the Polish leak's Boot Loader (BL) file, it failed too.
Since I was so worried about the phone getting address-less (No IMEI, no other addresses) I tried reinstalling the Lollipop leak.
It worked again like a charm, and my IMEI n everything else is back.
So looks like Ill have to wait till we get an official Lollipop update, so I can get out of the leak.

Downgrade to Jelly Bean Instead!
KitKat is bogus‼
Really, downgrading to JB is worthed it!

I'm sorry, I don't know how to check whether the bootloader is updated.
Btw, Stallione, when the IMEI is gone, you can restore it from EFS backup

What do you mean by "custom stock"? If your version is the same from the OTA then you can update it just fine as long as you haven't made any changes to the original system files (deleted, modified, etc) or changed to a custom recovery. But since you said your bootloader is locked than you probaly haven't changed anything. Just flash it through stock recovery and you should be fine.
Also, one more picture proving it is real:
Update done successfully. Thanks for providing the update.
cannot update,bro. My unlock bootloader,root. When it go to update about 1/3 time and have robot Android die onscreen. How can i fix that?
Thanks a lot, works fine here!

If you have Xposed, uninstall it. If you changed (deleted, modified) any original system file, change it back.
You don't have to disable root. It should work.

Sorry but this is not the official stock tar, My understanding from Millerboy3 its a stock rooted+busybox tar from millerboy device after a full reset + ota applied.
What I'm looking for is a stock tar from kies or Samsung.
In the next day or two it should be available on Kies, which will allow you to upgrade from stock rooted kitkat without losing data.
Ok

Correct.
Still waiting......
How long does this normally take.... I'm the laughing stock of all my friends.... i cant wait any longer!!!!
But seriously, this needs to hurry up and get here.
easiest method instead of waiting is use the NK2 stock tar with ODIN (it won't wipe your data) then do a system updat to bob7 LP 5.0.1. Next use CF-Auto root via ODIN to obtain root (yes 4.4.4 for SPrint variant works on LP) then ODIN Twrp 2.85. After this you can install any custom roms. I know there is 1 TW type that is very nice. I just installed it today. http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/development/rom-vision-x-s5-spr-5-0-1-t3052015

Be careful if u dont take the ota it wont ever boot
My Note 4 is rooted but that is it. Knox is disabled, so when i try and download ota it gives me the Knox error. Will going back to NK2 fix this or am i still stuck waiting on an actual Odin Lollipop?
To take the ota, you need to be on Unrooted NK2, just foash via Odin, reboot take ota then root via chain fire then odin twrp.
If you're already rooted ota is not going to work

That's because one cannot downgrade.
There is a downgrade guide, but it is for the I9505 only.
So I guess you're stuck with official lollipop roms, or maybe custom KitKat roms.

Wrong!
Because the Marshmallow rom is NOT official firmware.
As I said before, you are stuck with official Lollipop firmware. But you can use any custom roms you like.

The problem was that he was trying to downgrade, not the cables and USB ports. He actually managed to do it but now his WiFi won't work.

Factory Binary - Successful downgrade from MM to LP

I stumbled across this file on the net and thought I would give it a spin.
I was on Firmware N910VVRU2CPF3 dated June 2016
I flashed the "Combination file" using Odin 3.10.7
COMBINATION_VZW_FA44_N910VVRU2APB1_VZW2APB1_2932719_REV00_user_mid_noship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
I then flashed N910VVRU2BPA1 firmware from here
It worked and now I am on 5.1.1
I wanted to go lower but, because of the Binary being fused at 2, I was unable.
Perhaps someone can find a way to get back to 4.4.4 with this so we can root with CF Auto Root.
For those that might be confused on how to use this..
1. Place your phone in Download mode
2. Open Odin on your PC, select the AP button, and then select the combination file that you just downloaded..
3. After install the phone will reboot and it will be in a Factory repair or test mode.. feel free to tinker and explore.
4. Power off your phone and go back to download mode.
5. Go back into Odin and flash your desired firmware which would be 5.1.1 and above.

Perhaps ?
I have seen several warnings not to take any updates past a certain date on Android 6.0.1, otherwise you cannot go back, as the newer firmware prevents any downgrading in lieu of "security patch".
The Combination file enables you to install any firmware or newer than its specific binary.
In running this you will notice a bare bones KitKat 4.4.4 AOSP UI.
The Binary is fused for loading only firmware that includes KNOX, as it was first introduced as of 5.1.1 for the SM-N910V
Which is my belief why it is such a secret to go back.

unnecessary ! you can flash back to lollipop(5.1.1 bpa1) with Odin without the need of this binary and Knox hit the scene on jellybean final bud (4.3)
@mojoswagger1980
Please show me 4.3 firmware for the SM-N910V
The Verizon Note 4 Jumped from 4.4.4 to 5.0.1 then to 5.1.1
Per Samsung the update from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1 installed Knox on the SM-N910V.
This Binary is very useful ..
But glad to know you don't like that I posted it.
Lol the sm 900v (note3) premiered on 4.3 essentially the same phone seriously. For the record you said Knox kept us from downgrading as of lolipop I then corrected that statement with mine . device model firmware doesn't apply given that Knox was universaly added to all android devices at that time

Check to make sure you are not using a USB3 port. I always have issues with USB3.
Those of you that have downgraded back to 5.1.1. I have a question for you.
While on 6.0.1, did you have problems with your GPS with it losing signal? IF SO, did downgrading back to 5.1.1 solve this problem?
I've been having problems with my GPS for quite awhile now and I can't figure out if the problem is related to 6.0.1, loose screws or oxidation of the contacts inside of my phone.
Know what? I think all my laptop usb are usb3. I'll try my older laptop and let you know
i needed a pit file for the note 4 vzw i added that and erased the partition via odin and now im flashing 5.1.1 no errors this time

I got it to work. Don't go doing anything just yet. I plan to make a new topic about it.

, did you have problems with your GPS with it losing signal? IF SO, did downgrading back to 5.1.1 solve this problem?
I've been having problems with my GPS for quite awhile now and I can't figure out if the problem is related to 6.0.1, loose screws or oxidation of the contacts inside of my phone.

GPS Signal I believe is hardware related and I have that problem as well..
This appears to be the most feasible approach to fixing it and I will be attempting this shortly as it is not the same phone model but possibly the same cause for the issue.

Trying to downgrade as well and having the same issues.... cannot flash anything without it failing. The only firmware that worked was the combination one and nothing else. Please help! Thanks!

ODIN fails on flashing Stockrom onto S7 Edge

I want to downgrade my S7 Edge to a lower Android Security Patch, so i downloaded, the Android 8.0.0 Version from the 30. May 2018. Currently my device runs on Android 8..0.0 with Security Patch 1 Jan. 2019
Im Using Odin3 v3.13.1, but each time I am trying to flash my device, it shows me "Fail" or doesnt even start.
I have tried using BL, AP, CP and CSC:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then i left BL out:
Then i tried only AP:
The ending always put out: Complee (Write) operation failed.
I dont know what i can do. I followed every instruction i could find. My device is not rooted, and i dont want it to be rooted.

Most probably the reason for that is you can't downgrade, it seems your bootloader is newest and can't be downgraded back . This is most obvious thing

According to this Guide on this Forum "[Guide] How to downgrade from Android Oreo 8.0 to 7.0 (Non-rooted)" it shall work. I followed every step. Even if i try to flash the device, without making the mark at BL, it doesnt work. I always get fail, or i get stuck on Setup Connection.

You could flash older rom like nougat only if install TWRP aka rooting your phone and installing custom rom , officially u can't go back anymore .

So I root, flash custom rom, and then flash an older stockrom on? Will that be fine with the bootloader?
Where can i seek for help ?

Hm I don't know if u can downgrade your bootloader with TWRP ,it could be possible but can't tell for sure.
What I meant is you can use nougat only as custom rom.

Actually many apps are working just fine , thanks to magisk it can hide your root so u can use banking app,Pokemon go and many other as you have magisk .
As u seen it u can't go back via official way. Stay on latest stock without root ,no other way I'm afraid
Good luck
