Downgrade to KitKat from Lollipop Boot up time - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys
So I flashed the NK4 KitKat ROM over the Lollipop ROM I had as I can't stand certain things in Lollipop. Now that I have flashed my Note 4 N910F is sitting at the Samsung Boot screen, the LED is doing the usual changing of colors and that splash behind Samsung keeps going on, but it isn't getting out of it, it seems to be heating up to, is it just taking time optimizing for KitKat or is it Softbricked? Seems to be stuck on boot screen.

Did you hard reset before and after downgrade that's important .
Do hard reset from recovery

Thanks, I did that shortly after posting this, all up and running again. Thanks a lot

Did you just flashed nk4 with Odin? Or custom rom? @1980aksoy anyway can I just download 4.4.4 for n910f from sammobile and dirty downgrade with Odin? Or should I wipe before and after Odin flash?

I flashed oldest 1 first NJ4' Then upgrade to NK4 via kies
Before do anything hard reset is necessary .
(Download NJ4 from sammobile then hard reset your device' install via odin wait for device completely boot up then hard reset again then do your personal settings
Connect to kies update To NK4

but x-note 4.4 boot but never leave the n9005 logo too
is my phone hate kitkat?
Is my due to bo you gi di eg?
Why even touch your phone when you can't basics or at least learn some by reading and searching and Google translating some. How about to sell your note and get a dumb phone.
What logo? Samsung?
Just clear dalvik cache and factory reset from recovery. Turn phone off. Pul battery out. Volum up, home and power button at same time and do it from there. You will be find after a reboot.
i did that
and i did every thing here

Hello.
When upgrade to kk with upgrading bootloader sometimes will have a bootloop. This is normal.
I read few website they all suggest same thing.
When u face bootloop just go to recovery do wipe data and wipe cache partition.
I upgrade few note 3 already from 4.3, all the same. Have to do wipe.
Some I use nb7 germany some I use nc2 czech. All have to full wipe.

i tried what you told me but the same no boot to system whin tick update bootloader on not tick it
tried two firmware
no luck
back to xnote 4.3
Use odin 1.85, correct usb drivers, uninstall/kill kies. If you can still run a 4.3 rom like you said then obviously your bootloader hasnt been updated. Or 4.3 wouldnt boot at all.
Also you say odin gives you a fail, but you dont even give the details as to what fails? A simple copy and paste is all that is needed.

U r on 4.3, u have to update bootloader to 4.4 in order the rom to load up.
As u mentioned that firmware u flash give u fail, it might need pit file.
Check from this thread if u need any.

Galaxy S4 bricked?

Hey guys,
I got jamals google edition installed on my S4 and when I forgot to charge it and I started the device I got a bootloop. I dont know why, but I also couldĀ“t get into the recovery mode, so I flashed an originial Samsung firmwar via Odin on my S4 (4.4.2)
After that, it restarted but I got a "android.process.acore has stopped" message and I couldn't use the S4 because the message kept popping up and the S4 automatically restarted and when it restarted the message appeared again, so i had a very strange loop i couldnt interrupt. So i flashed another 4.4.2 firmware and also again the same firmware, but nothing helped, I still got the message and the S4 kept restarting.
So I flashed the Omega Pre-rooted 4.4.2 firmware via odin (and the exact same thing happened). But whats strange is, that before it started it said "updating 1 of 172 apps) so that must mean, that even though I flashed 3 firmwares via Odin, my apps somehow stayed on the S4? And also the wallpaper was the same wallpaper I had before, what was very strange.
Then I installed Philz CWM Recovery because I waned to perform a factory reset. But after I installed it and tried to get into recovery mode, I couldn't and only this was displayed :
Recovery Booting...
Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing
Set Warranty Bit: recovery
So it seems like nothing works and I'm getting really desperate, does anyone of you has an idea how to fix this? Otherwise I guess my S4 is bricked
Regards and thanks for your help

I'm assuming you know about KNOX now that you've flashed an official firmware you will have KNOX and you've already tripped KNOX by installing recovery but you won't be able to use a lower version firmware just bare that in mind when flashing official stock again.

downgrade lollipop to kitkat 4.4.2

Hello. Today I installed on my notes 3 SM-N9005 lollipop 5.0 version Poland but I found them a few problems: the first is that the vibration of the keyboard does not work. I found two of the slowdowns in the task manager. Now if I want to return to kitkat I can do fleshando firmware via Odin? ??
+1
I asked the same question with no accurate answer, i found a thread on how to downgrade from leaked ver. Of lolipop and not the official one and i won't risk trying this method, what I'm asking for is it possible to downgrade to official kitkat using odin specially that i have ticked update bootloader button when i flashed official Lolipop.
Will this work or we are risking our mobiles for a brick?
Appreciate if someone answered us with a proven record.
Regards,
however I have seen videos on youtube that have made the downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3 fleshando only the firmaware dacendo and then wipe data / cache. I think the same procedure also applies to switch lollipop kitkat.
It's safe to downgrade using odin. I did it myself from the leaked and the official release (both of them with the bootloader updated). In case odin complains about size just check my last posts and use the PIT file I provided.

Hi,
I have downgraded from the Polish Lollipop without using a PIT file - successfully. You will need to carry out a data wipe and factory reset, but it worked fine.
I couldn't... flashing ENC2 with Odin gave me size error, flashing with PIT solved that, but my IMEI and Baseband were gone. I gave up at that point, flashed Lolipop again and am back to normal now.

I'm using stock ROM T331XXU1BOG4_T331ODD1BOG4_INU. I did factory reset before flashing 4.4.2 ROM package via Odin. Even with T331XXU1ANDA_T331ODD1AND4_INU (same region), it did not work.

Temorarily stuck with 5.1.1 for now. I will try repey6's suggestion later.
Many thanks.
bump, does 5.1.1 prevent u from downgrading to 4.4.2? the tablet was updated to 5.1.1 by accident, so i want to downgrade.
EDIT: i was able to downgrade just fine. if your hangs at the smasung boot logo for like 5 mins, power off device and clear the partitions/ data.
I don't think u can downgrade from OI1 according to Smart Switch. So i think i had BOG1
Any success on a sm-t337v??
none yet so far, we i had combination files i could try it again but i cant find any or have access to any for 337v

SM-N910F Won't boot

Hi,
My SM-N910F wont boot. I have tried to flash a stock rom through Odin, and the flash is successful but when the phone boots up it just says "System UI has stopped" with a black screen.
I messed it up by flashing both modem and bootloader wrongly, then wanting to reset it by flashing stock firmware, but it won't work.
Edit:
I have flashed twrp and managed to factory reset, and it boots now. But now I have another issue, it restarts every 30 seconds, can't even get past set-up.
Edit2:
I have fixed it. I flashed the right modem and a bootloader update and it no longer restarts.
Would appreciate any help.
Thanks.
Help with what?
