Hi everyone, i have got Galaxy S5 G900-F and i upgraded it to Lollipop 5.0 official. now i want to get it back to the kitkat version, please guide me on whether i can do this or not. if yes, than please provide the detailed procedure of doing it, thanks.
A quick search will find multiple threads on how to do it
This isn't me being funny, but it gets a bit tedious writing out the same instructions over and over because people don't search first
I wrote out those instructions yesterday in a thread in this exact forum, which is still active on page one of the forum

Hello
I would ask you if it's possible to root this device right now.
It runs with Gingerbread and this OS is rootable.
Thanks for your help.

Does it work? Don't like the idea to try it first.

We don't need two threads on the same subject. Post in thread linked two posts up. Searching shouldn't be an issue here, we have so few posts!

1) how can i do that without losing anything?
2) which is the last firmware before kitkat? (i'm italian with a ITA PHONE).
3) Were can i download the firmware?
Please note that this forum provides a search. Before posting it's always good to do a quick search :good:

Hi guys,
Please excuse my ignorance and thanks for taking the time helping noobs like myself.
So im looking at rooting my S5 to enable me to delete the bloatware and tidy it up a little while not flashing a custom rom but have a few questions. I'm sure they've all been answered but like most things online, the more questions i find answers to, the more seem to pop up.
So firstly I've got a G900F running lollipop. As im only looking to gain root access and not install a custom ROM do i need to downgrade to KK. If this is the case can i pick any date version of the sammobile site, or should i just choose the most recent.
Secondly to root the phone should i just follow the instructions on the link below.

They're not crystal clear to me so are there any all out noob guides out there?
Will doing either of these also wipe my phone and regardless should i back it up and if so using what?
Oh but that link i posted doesnt work so....

That one however does!
Good day everyone, my friend upgraded his at&t i337 device to the official lollipop, but the issue is, I can't get the phone rooted, tried kingo root and a host of others but all prove abortive. So I need downgrade back to kitkat so I will upgrade back to a rooted lollipop rom since it's the only way out. Thanks!
Look at this thread and this.
Also, read around the forum for information you may find useful before trying that. I've read that kingroot (not kingoroot) may work on 5.0.1. Start here.

Thank you, friend. I already downgraded since yesterday. I know how to work it and all that stuff, was only scared that the bootloader wasn't downgradeable since I intending going back to stock. So I downgraded the moment I found that OC3 bootloader allows downgrading to nb1. Thanks again!
My friend and I are noobs and want to root our Note 4 - n910cxxu1coi4 phones running 5.1.1. There has not been a custom kernel released (to our knowledge) and we wanted to know where there is documentation on what files we need, including version of ODIN to walk through the process.
We definitely need step by step instructions; some of the documentation we've come across leave steps out, or are pretty unclear. We've asked Max Lee of High on Android for assistance and he said we'd need to get a custom kernel, back up with TWRP and that he's not seen anyone root our model on 5.1.1 n910cxxu1coi4 yet. We surely cannot be the first.
All help appreciated!

Look in the thread linked below, in post #1579 there are links posted for different kernels that will root your device on COI4 /COH4 firmware, find one to flash through Odin.
