Nope you can no longer downgrade to 4.3 after flashing 4.4.2 stock rom.have a nice day.
So if he flashes a 4.3 ROM via Odin, what would happen? Brick?

Once you have flashed 4.4.2 there is no going back to 4.3 as @Repulsa & others have already told you :cyclops:

any opinions on trying this ? Thanks!
on youtube i saw a person using i9505 having kitkat.he downgraded from 4.4.2 to 4.3 using mobile odin. n it worked well.
as mobile odin is not supported on i9500 we cant do this.
but the important thing is that he downgraded.that means it is possible.
please devs..help us guys.please.i am fed up of kitkat n i am on the same boat to have jellybean back.

post the link to this video
/ I found it - nothing new - familiar things
Sometimes it is possible to downgrade, but for sure my friend, then u won't have wifi and/or sound
tapatalked by an Echoenian on old b/l without knox
What if he installs a custom 4.3 rom?
Would that work? can he install the custom rom in recovery? or that would brick the phone because of the new bootloader?

downgrade always possible but there are problems
example
sound, calls
can be fixed using a custom kernel, mods, etc.
but this did not benefit
why necessary ? 4.4.2 is better
question is downgrade and reset Knox
it is
everything else is nothing
confirmed for I9500 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2686882

Only wifi but fixed by flashing a custom kernel. But every time i rebooted, i had to re-connect to my router again.
I want to downgrade my sm-N900 to 4.3, is it possible by flashing a 4.3 custom firmware through through custom recovery?

There's a downgrade bootloader available in the Note 3 Developer Discussion's KNOX thread. Go check that out. Look for the guy called RuchRa or something.
