Hi everyone, I currently have a samsung galaxy S4 I9505 phone running android 4.3. I upgraded to 4.3 via Odin not via the inbuilt software update. Im wondering if it is at all possible to downgrade to 4.2.2 because with 4.3 their has been an introduction of a lot of bugs to apps such as Chrome and Spotify. These bugs have since been really getting annoying and the only time I didn't have to deal with them would be when I was running 4.2.2.
Alternatively can anyone tell me if upgrading to android Kitkat for S4 would potentially fix these problems?
Any help will of course be greatly appreciated and even if no help can be given thanks for taking the time to read this post.

Forget the word Downgrade
this is not possible without problems (and they are many)

No , you can't downgrade!
I'm currently running Android 4.4.2 Kit Kat and would like to update the firmware to 4.4.4. It's not like I need it badly, but I'm curious in the process of updating rooted phones and bug fixes are always more than welcome. I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 (modem I9505) from the Dutch provider T-Mobile. I would also like to get rid of that hideous T-Mobile splash screen that I see every time I turn on or off my phone. I'm relatively new to rooting and I've done it in order to make backups with Titanium Backup, record my calls with ACR and remove bloatware.
Information and tips are more than welcome!
I think you have more reading to do, because almost every thread has instruction on how to flash the rom.
Hello guys!
Recently I downloaded the Lollipop firmware from SamMobile and ungraded my Galaxy S5(G900H) to Lollipop but to my utter disappointment the new Android is gross for me.
So I just want to go back to KitKAt and my serious question that would it be just fine if I download the StockROM(4.4.x) from SamMobile and flash it through odin?
Will I not lose my Service Signals?
Would I need any particular modem after the downgrade?
My phone is not rooted,
Thanks....
You should be all right as long as you're getting the right version for the right device based on the right carrier. I've found that Kies has made it possible to unbork my past devices, but right now I haven't attempted to downgrade my phone from lollipop to Kitkat using it.

Hi,
recently i got the Note 4 after my previous Note 3 was stolen. After I got it and did an immediate OTA Update to Lollipop. But since a lot of things with Lollipop on this device seem not yet right, i went back to KitKat and installed my previously for all my devices used OMEGA Rom for 4.4.4.
One thing though i noticed in my brief time with Lollipop, which seems much better than with KitKat. That's the Cam App. Especially if held against other lightning it showed much better results.
So now my question, is that just me thinking like that, and has someone ported the Lollipop Cam to KitKat so I can use that with OMEGA Rom? Any help would be appreciated. Thx so much.

Hi All,
I tried alot to find however, could not locate any useful information about the same.
I am looking forward to downgrade my new samsung galaxy A8 to kitkat if that is possible?
It came with preinstalled 5.1.1 Lollipop. So wanted to check if it possible to flash any ROMs on this device?
Reason: Just bought a MIRACAST working fine with all kit kat devices but not with Lollipop. Found out there are some issues with Lollipop supporting miracast.
Feel free to let me know any suggestion.
Regards
