Hello,
Yes it is possible to downgrade from an official Molitor to an official kitkat (the latest).
I do it, when the flash is end and the mobile show the logo Samsung
You can put out the battery, reboot to the recovery and wipe all user data.
Before do that save all your data.
It's an official administrator from Samsung who say me do so.
Hope that can help you.

what do you mean by the kitkat (latest) because not all country have the same latest version.. like in my case my mobile is originally from KSA. and i think its not the latest kitkat out there.

Isn't the bootloader required to flash the ROM?
I'm very afraid of trying stock lollipop. I was on Temasek's CM12 build but I had abysmal batterylife. This was probably not attributed to Temasek's build but rather to CM12 as a whole, so I went back to my nandroid containing Crash Rom V19 on kitkat 4.4.2 and I literally have less than 1% drain per hour with the phone idle. I love this batterylife, and I feel I'd like to try and see if stock lollipop TW will give me the same but I would like the option to go back to kitkat if it's worse. I like lollipop a lot but the promise of batterylife seems to hit and miss, makes me stay on kitkat.
I know Crash Rom has a lollipop version, but beside this, which ROM is the MOST stock with the least amount of modifications?

Great news for those who want to downgrade to 4.4.4 kitkat.

N910T TMOBILE NOTE 4 IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DOWNGRADE TO OFFICIAL KITKAT BUT AFTER LOT OF RESEARCH I FOUND WITH N910T2 KITKAT FIRMWARE IT'S POSSIBLE AND I HAVE TESTED IT 100% WORKING.
YOU CAN DOWNGRADE DIRECTLY TO N910T2 KITKAT FIRMWARE NO MATTER YOU ARE ON 5.0 5.1.1 OR 6.0.1
JUST FLASH WITH ODIN N910T2 KITKAT FIRMWARE AND WIPE DATA FACTORY RESET AND WIPE CACHE IMMEDIATELY AFTER FLASH.
N910T2 FIRMWARE RUNS FLAWLESS ON N910T AND NO BUGS AT ALL EVERYTHING WORKING 100% EXACTLY LIKE N910F INTERNATIONAL VARIANT. NO TMOBILE APPS BLOATWARE NO TMOBILE BOOT ANIMATION OR SHUTDOWN ANIMATIONS NO WIFI CALLING.
DON'T TRY TO FLASH OFFICIAL N910T KITKAT FIRMWARE AFTER DOWNGRADE IT WILL NOT WORK I HAVE ALL READY TESTED IT.
NOW YOU CAN ENJOY KITKAT AGAIN WITH AMAZING BATTERY LIFE AND SPEED ALONG WITH CUSTOM ROMS LIKE DYNAMIC KAT, FIREKAT,INFAMOUS ETC.
YOU CAN FLASH AND ENJOY ANY CUSTOM KITKAT ROM WITH TWRP AND NADIA 4.4.4 KERNEL.
PLEASE NOTE-_- WIFI CALLING IS NOT SUPPORTED WITH N910T2 FIRMWARE .
IF YOU WANT WIFI CALLING FLASH ANY N910T BASED KITKAT ROM IN TWRP WITH NADIA KERNEL.
THIS METHOD ONLY FOR N910T T-MOBILE NOTE 4
IT WILL NOT WORK ON N910T3 OR ANY OTHER MODELS.

There is no n910t2 marshmallow or even lollipop available anywhere else.i search all over but only 4.4.4 kitkat available right now.

Yesterday i was messing around to downgrade from marshmallow to kitkat on my n910t but no luck since our locked bootloader but accidentally i downloaded n910t2 firmware from sammobiles.com and i thought i give it a try and guess what i fully downgrade to kithat without any errors in odin and firmware runs flawlessly on n910t everything works expect no wifi calling i think n910t2 is a modified firmware for those who dont want tmobile crap and bloatware the only issue i face when phone boot up is the playstore was lagging but after an hour phone settle down and works awesome 4glte and signal works great .remember no wifi calling supported in this firmware and your model number will change to n910t2 even tmobile boot animation logo not exist. It looks and run exatly like international n910f 4.4.4. After i downgraded i flash twrp and flashed drketen 4.4.4 rom and it works flawless so i did try to flash firekat and dynamic kat but they did not works with n910t2 bootloader.and also 1 thing i want to mention that i easily upgraded again to 5.1.1 dok2 and 6.0.1 epg2 firmware so no worries to switch back.

after flashing the 910t2 firmware to kit kat, did you try flashing the regular 910t 4.4.4 firmware over it?

Yes i did but sadly it doesn't works. I am preety sure that bootloader is not locked since i was able to downgrade by n910t2 kitkat firmware .Maybe tmobile put some kind of code thats why we cant downgrade to n910t kitkat .anyway atleast we can downgrade officially without rooting to kitkat at this point.but i am still trying to figure out if i can flash offcial n910t 4.4.4 firmware.
Hey bro..do you know how to extract the tar and make a baseband and BL only tar...it would be alot easier than downloading the whole firmware at 15kb a sec ha...if not I can do it if someone can upload the firmware to mega or drive

Download link to mega uploaded in thread.
It's not really I guess...it just makes it easier for anyone wanting to try it...because using a kk rom and twrp recovery you only need the baseband and BL...and it's less of a chance to mess up efs or something than when flashing the whole firmware

Yea i did try to flash ank4 but odin fails . You can downgrade to n910t2 kitkat bootloader but not n910t kitkat or even 5.0 lollipop odin will simply fail every time i donno why but good thing is somehow you can still enjoy kitkat.i am running kitkat n910t2 firmware on n910t and everything works perfect wifi/data/xposed/all sensors nothing is broken only wifi calling missing and battery life ofcourse kitkat is best. You can still flash kitkat roms but only international n910f ported kitkat roms i guess but you can try with different kernels if you wanna still use ank4 base roms .

Try flashfire. You can download just the bootloader and modem from a dev and try that program

Do you know it works ? I think not because the logic of not allowing older bootloader is in the phone and not in Odin

Yeah but custom 4.4.4 would have been even better..I will try t2 rom. .from sammobile right ? Also what msg u get when u flash custom rom on t2 firmware. ...and whilet flashing 910t 4.4.4 using odin .did u try repartition using pit file ?
I heard lot of good things about FireKat 4.4.4 rom , that is why i wanted to do this whole process of downgrading.
I don't know if it would work. I'm on a W8. Wouldn't hurt to try.

Golden eye is 5.0 lollipop and gold finger is 4.4.x kitkat made by the same developer. Yes you can flash the golden eye lollipop ROM from 4.4.4 given you're rooted and have safe strap recovery installed.

can i directly downgrade from Marshmallow (6.0.1) to kitkat (4.4.2) using odin?

does it work to downgrade the stock firmware directly from marshmallow to kitkat using odin on SM-G900F ? or should i downgrade it first to lollipop and then to kitkat ? i heard there is some "trouble" with the last 6.0.1 firmware version that prevents you to downgrade to kitkat anymore.
i want to downgrade it bechause as far i've heard the kitkat stock rom had the best possible battery life on this device.
and from where can i get the official download links for odin and samsung usb drivers for galaxy S5, since google search is full of bait links with malware...

PLEASE KEEP IT IN THE THREADS WHERE EVERYONE CAN SHARE
yes you can do that, there is no order o respect
you can install any version you would like even if it sa downgrade
as longer you gonna do it with odin correctly, there s nothing to worry abt
PS : only an advice, if you are looking for good battery life + performance and new UI and all, i strongly suggest a CUSTOM ROM such as NEMESIS REBORN is perfect
Good luck
