That is not possible.
Your bootloader has been updated. You cannot go back to Jellybean now.
Hi Guys
Ive bricked my phone I think.
Long story short I flashed a stock ROM of 4.4.2 I believed would work on my SM-N9005 and it failed with the ext4 image error in odin.
I then tried to install the latest CWM which wanted to attempt to root my device. When the device rebooted it brought me to a samsung page advising the device needed restored to factory settings which continually loops.
Now I have tried to put a stock firmware back on the device but it is giving me error
SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 3 > Binary 2
Any advice or help would be great as I'm now really unsure what to do.
Thanks
Richie

Flash stock 4.4 firmware from your carrier or if not available yet check in the general section which is flash-friendly release for your phone.

In all topics of forum the same issue, people dont understand this
SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 3 > Binary 2
This means you trying to downgrade your phone
FUSED 3 = you have 4.4 installed already
Binary 2 = this means you trying to put 4.3 SW

thanks for the help I know have a polish rom on the device so ive made progress.
I know tried to flash n900s-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.7-kk(0125).tar which tells me the device is not rooted and asked do I want to attempt to root.
I select the return key and the phone reboots and goes back to the stock polish rom.
Any ideas how to flash a custom rom onto the device now. Sorry for the questions been working on this with no success

Thanks to all involved I am now running Omega KK Rom.
This was a major pain just glad its sorted.
Hi folks, I have recently updated my Note 3 SM-N9005 from Kitkat 4.4.2 to Lollipop using the BL, CSC, CP AND PIT Files. But I didnt like Lollipop, lots of bug like no NFC, alarm doesnt work with flip cover, gps issue, etc.. So flasked original firmware (O2 Germany) with odin 9 but no luck. After successful installation my Note 3 just stuck at Galaxy Note 3 screen. Even tried factory reset, wipe data not still stuck at the welcome screen. Is there a way to install kitkat original firmware?
You updated the bootloader so no. Just reflash the beta and wait for official update. Or you can try CM11
revert from android 5.0 to 4.4.2
Download this rom with 5 files with pit file and flash with odin, and do a wipe/factory reset before and after, then u can flash latest rom for your phone from sammobile.

Yes, I did that. Your UK firmware (UFNF4) and O2 Germany could install successfully but Note 3 wont boot. However,DBT firware couldnt install, odin gave error is initially installation process. Eventually I had to install leaked lollipop

I think the .pit file for Lollipop makes the system partition smaller, so it's only normal that no KitKat can boot, as to why after flashing a KitKat .pit you can't boot up, I don't know. You could have booted up Lollipop without the .pit for it, you know, I didn't, and I can revert to a KitKat backup anytime without any issues.
But yeah, you might have to stay on Lollipop for a couple more weeks until we get an official update.

Hi, is your issue resolved?
I'd like to tell that I have successfully rolled back to 4.4.2 GNG1 BTU ROM from the Leaked 5.0 ROM.
I had luckily backed up my original PIT file from 4.4.2 ROM before upgrade to Lollipop leak. As there were many bugs with the leak, i decided to restore a Nandroid backup of kitkat. But it failed miserably as all the apps started crashing. So I did a fresh flashing of 4.4.2 GNG1 BTU rom with my Backup PIT file. And now everything is working fine for me.
I have 32GB N9005 model. Let me know if you need the PIT file for the same.
It would be great if you can share the pit file with me. I desperately need to go back to 4.4.2. I too have 32 GB SM-N9005 model from O2 Germany
worked successfully for me
I had same issue when I was downgrading to 4.4.2 , but it worked for me :
1- install leaked Lollipop via pc odin ( no need pit file)
2- boot your phone up and if you see welcome screen it means you still are cool
3- download nad install 4.4.2 GNG1 via pc odin, and dont let it to boot up
4- go to stock recovery mode and wipe your phone
5- reboot your phone and hopefully you will be fine

On my first link i give you, u have the pit file for 4.4.2 and all the files u need to revert to 4.4.2, all u have to do is to download that rar and ur problem is solved.
So guys, I now able to downgrade to 4.4.2. As you have guys suggested, I used pit file sokar_goauld (32GB N9005) and used GNG1 BTU ROM, the way RedApple has suggested. Now everything is back to 4.4.2 though not the German O2 firmware.
Thank you guys!
I have one more question, can I now flash O2 Germany firmware on this GNG1 BTU ROM without any pit file? Seems like O2 Germany bootloader/firmware is an older version, so not sure if further downgrading to original O2 Germany firmware is possible without any issues?
Have a nice weekend.

i think there is something wrong with flashing lollipop on your device. i already tried flashing lollipop and i downgrade it to kitkat successfully without error... many people say that its ok to downgrade from lollipop to kit kat... like me im on kitkat now because i dint like lollipop so many bugs. i will wait the official update..
That's good!
Now I'm eagerly waiting for the Official Lollipop
Thanks you Guys
I did as ssn1978 did with the suggested files from RedApple and sokar_goauld and i just wanted to say.....
Thank you guys, God bless you
I started losing hope going back to kitkat or even reviving my Note 3 back...
And now it's alive thanks to you
But i'm facing a problem now, i can't go back to my NF4 BTU, the same old problem happened again :S do i have to stuck with NG1 ? :S

Hi,
Need your help. I have a Note 4, Sprint locked, model number SM-N910P, Lollipop Version 5.1.1. I would like it to be unlocked so I can use it in the Philippines. I see a thread that I need to downgrade the ROM then use SSU.apk. When I am trying to have it downgraded, Odin was not able to finish the Job. It always fails with and NAND Write error (auth).
I tried all SM-N910P 4.4. versions and all Odins versions but no luck.
I appreciate any responses and assistance with this.
Thanks,

Youre on the OG5 bootloader and you can not downgrade from that bootloader. not even to 5.0.1 lollipop bootloaders.
Might wanna go into Security and uncheck Reactivation Lock as well.
