You can't downgrade if Your Bootloader is updated to Lollipop.
I also wonder whether we can downgrade Note3 from Lollipop to KitKat if our devices have not been rooted. Thanks.
No. You can't downgrade if you've flash official lollipop rom.
Flash bootloader from 4.4.2. Downgrade is no problem.
great
kit-kat soucks
But you CAN. i went back to Kk, Lollipop sucks for me

I was able to successfully downgrade from lollipop, but it was a note 4 unofficial port. I didn't know note 3s were supposed to have lolli. But what I need help is with the fact that I get that SW REV Check error trying to downgrade from 4.4.4 to 4.4.3. Can anyone help with this?

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

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

Not that simple I've tried that several times with different region firmwares and everything. All of them 4.4.2 Nothing seems to work because of the stupid KNOX **** that Samsung puts on their phone now. With my old phone flashing firmwares was easy but now they make you wait for the next firmware update in order to fix your phone if you accidently softbrick it.
If you want to read what happened last time this happened and what fixed it, click here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48271795#post48271795 - This no longer works because my phone thinks its on Kitkat but it's not so I cant reflash the Taiwan firmware.
I'm currently downloading the latest Taiwan firmware before you suggest it as an option. I'm going to see if that works again.

FIXED: The Taiwan Firmware seems to fix it every time if someone has a problem like this just download the latest firmware from sammobile.com. Make sure its the Taiwan Firmware otherwise it wont work, I have no idea why but if anyone can shed some light on this it would be great just to know why.

To download SW there is no problem what KNOX status you have.
The problem which you wrote WRONG SW Version.
Dont connect KNOX and SW Version together.

So on that page you can see easily WHAT SW Version 4.4.2 or 4.3
Make sure you selected 4.4.2 ONLYYYY
Hey XDA, new here but long-time lurker, I like many am stuck with 4.4.4 on my n900v and am looking for a way out. So far the only promising thing I've seen is the video for the n900a (which ihas locked bootloader as well?). I got all the files replaced for the n900v version to at least get back from 4.4.4. to 4.4.2 but Odin is failing with the sw rev check fail fused 4 binary 3 error. I am using the stock NC4 fimware and have tried several downloads, I've tried Odin 3.10 and 3.09 and made sure running in admin and everything checked that's needed. I also made sure my phone has USB debugging enabled and Unknown Sources checked. I've read that I should try a custom rom but assume that with my locked bootloader that wouldn't work either. The n900a has a locked bootloader as well I believe which is why I thought that if I replaced the files with Verizon versions the instructions in the video would work.
Is there any way back to 4.4.2 from 4.4.4 on the n900v or am I screwed? Thanks! :fingers-crossed:

Such helpful, many wows....
But serious why can AT&T Note 3 be downgraded with a locked Bootloader but Verizon can't?
Because it can't read the other hundred posts in regards to this
Just thank verizon for this mess.
Because 4.4.4 has a different bootloader which blocks out downgrading to 4.4.2. That's why you can't go back to 4.4.2 once you go to 4.4.4 and more than likely whenever Lollipop comes (rather if be 5.0.x or 5.1) they will more than likely block downgrading to 4.4.x or whatever on that too.
Yes I understand the whole locked bootloader part, just confused on why you can downgrade AT&T's which is locked also I thought? Wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything but looks like Im SoL like the rest of ya. (No wonder so grumpy). Thanks. :crying:

Because AT&T and Verizon are two different companies who have 2 different requirements for their phones even if from the same manufacturer.
Verizon requires their updates to not be downgrade able while AT&T apparently doesn't have that requirement.

Use this guide from Droidstyle, ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46461911), which should help you restore the phone back to factory stock 4.4.2 NC4. Then (like BladeRunner said), you can use Towelroot to gain root access. Just don't update the phone to any Android versions past 4.4.2 or you will lose ability to root, as there's no current root method for 4.4.4 for our phones.

Go here, find the proper OS and country for your device >> http://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-G530H/page/1
Many pages, 11+..then use Odin..I personally havent reverted to KK from LP..but I have reverted to an earlier version of 5.1.1..because I'm new to Samsung..and my Grand Prime, from box with 5.1.1
Dont know if you can revert to 4.4.4
The reason being, is a possible bootloader version change..in my past experiance with Moto devices, once the bootloader version changes, reverting cannot be done..
Research this..which may be your flash failure cause..or maybe a bad download or incorrect OS for your device..the country code MUST match..
sent by my: SM-531M-57 Grand Prime (or) my: SM-N910C Note 4 (Lollipop 5.1.1)
Thanks for your response, but still it didn't work. I did as you suggested; I downloaded
the correct firmware for my device, flashed it via Odin but failed. On device it shows "SW REV CHECK FAIL : (aboot) Fused 2 Binary 1" error
I recently updated to lollipop 5.0.2 via Odin, my phone model SM-G530H baseband G530HXXU2BOH5.
I think the reason I can't downgrade to Kitkat 4.4.4 is because of bootloader update.
I want to downgrade to Kitkat because most of the apps which used to work on Kitkat don't work on lollipop anymore, and also its very slow.
if anyone out there could help downgrade to Kitkat, plz do it. I would greatly appreciate it.
I'm sorry it didnt work for you..
Make sure you are flashing the correct OS for your device..I cant say for sure, new to Samsung..but probably a bootloader update issue..Maybe research which bootloader version with KK and LP..I think you may find your revert issue..I hope I'm wrong..please someone correct me if I'm wrong..
sent by my: SM-531M-57 Grand Prime (or) my: SM-N910C Note 4 (Lollipop 5.1.1)
since no one can tell me how to downgrade to Kitkat, it feels like I 'm stuck on lollipop forever. I 'm desperate to go back to Kitkat ; kindly let me know if you come up with something.

Note Edge bootloop: phone screen goes black after Samsung logo, what are my options?
i have a galaxy note edge, but couple of days back when i unpluged my phone from the charger and tried to turn it on it would not boot up properly;even if it did it would turn itself off at different times. so i had decided to flash stock rom, thinking this could solve the problem. i downloaded stock rom from sammobile, flash it via odin,and it was successful;but when the phone rebooted with rebooting recovery on the top left of the screen then the screen went black. to turn the the device on again i have to pull the battery out and put back in after 10-15 seconds. and now whenever i try to turn the device on, it boots up with 'rebooting to recovery' on the top left of the screen but goes black as soon as the samsung logo shows up. i don't know what's causing this problem.
if anyone out there could help me get out of this problem,i would greatly appreciate it
thanks in advanced
Wanted to ask if it is safe to flash build number LMY48B.G531HXXU0AOK2 with build date of Nov 2015 over the build LMY48B.G531HXXU0APC2 with build date in March 2016.
Tl;dr is it safe to flash an older lollipop build over a new one using odin
Hello guys,
First sry for my bad englisch, im from germany and my englisch isnt that good
im trying to downgrade my Note 3 (running on N9005XXSGBPL6/DBT/STOCK ANDROID 5.0) to Stock Android 4.4.2.
I have tryed already like any available stock 4.4.2 roms, but Either my device does not start and stucks at the samsung logo and ends up in a boot loop, or it freezes after the first few seconds after the boot.
I dont know what to do, i have tryed to wipe the cache and the data but it still doesnt work.
I also tryed different USB ports and different versions of odin.
I really want to have android 4.4.2 on my note 3 because it runs much better than 5.0, has less errors and uses less ram.
Maybe someone knows a solution for my problem.
I'm not sure about your note 3 but some Samsung phones do not allow downgrading the bootloader from 5.0 to 4.4.2.
Were you able to successfully flash a stock 4.4.2 ROM with Odin?

Yes, it looks like the phone is still on a 5.0 bootloader. If the ROM and modem are on 4.4.2, this is probably why things are not working well.
