[Q] Downgrade from 5.0.1 LP to 4.4.2 KK - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
i have 5.0.1 ( I9505XXUHOB7) in my i9505 and don´t like it. I am not sure if I can downgrade to KitKat ROM for example I9505XXUGNG8. I don´t know if I can brick my phone if will change my modem. I don´t understand whan I can change modem and whan not. Thanks for help and sorry my bad english

same thing occurred to me lollipop just battery consumed.
what I did is just download the 4.4.2 in sammobile and flash it trough ODIN and it work like charm.
but after flashing usually u will get into boot loop just factory reset it and restart.... walla welcome to 4.4.2 again.
all data in device will be lost when u factory reset it so it will be wise to back it up in advance.

Is my due to bo you gi di eg?
Why even touch your phone when you can't basics or at least learn some by reading and searching and Google translating some. How about to sell your note and get a dumb phone.
What logo? Samsung?
Just clear dalvik cache and factory reset from recovery. Turn phone off. Pul battery out. Volum up, home and power button at same time and do it from there. You will be find after a reboot.
i did that

Hello.
When upgrade to kk with upgrading bootloader sometimes will have a bootloop. This is normal.
I read few website they all suggest same thing.
When u face bootloop just go to recovery do wipe data and wipe cache partition.
I upgrade few note 3 already from 4.3, all the same. Have to do wipe.
Some I use nb7 germany some I use nc2 czech. All have to full wipe.

i tried what you told me but the same no boot to system whin tick update bootloader on not tick it
tried two firmware
no luck
back to xnote 4.3
Use odin 1.85, correct usb drivers, uninstall/kill kies. If you can still run a 4.3 rom like you said then obviously your bootloader hasnt been updated. Or 4.3 wouldnt boot at all.
Also you say odin gives you a fail, but you dont even give the details as to what fails? A simple copy and paste is all that is needed.

[Q] Urgent Help Required Please!! GALAXY s4 I9505

Hi Guys,
After rooting my phone, trying different Custom Roms and reverting to stock a couple of times, I now have soft bricked my S4, or at least I hope it's only a soft brick.
I upgraded from JB 4.3 to Kitkat 4.4 and TWRP recovery a couple of months back. I live in Australia and as yet we don't have access to Stock Kitkat 4.4, so I flashed the United Kingdom XXUGNG8 (BTU) firmware. The phone began to lag and a couple of the functions refused to work, so without thinking I attempted to flash back to JB 4.3.........I know, I know you can't do that, but tat the time I was frustrated with it's performance and I didn't think before I acted.
Anyway, first I was unable to enter Recovery mode......nothing worked, the phone would just boot to the error screen. I was able using Odin 3.07, T erase all, flash a .pit file and obtain a "pass".
Get pit for mapping
Firmware update start
RQT close
Res ok
Removed
Remain Port.......0
All threads completed (Success 1/Fail 0)
Then when I attempt to flash a stock rom, it fails every time at "System Write".
I now have discovered that a "Phil's Touch recovery .tar" can be flashed, but nothing else.
When I boot the phone up, it hangs at the Samsung Galaxy S4 iGT9505 screen.
What have I done wrong guys, have I completely corrupted the phone, or is it recoverable? Please Help.
Regards.
You can't revert back to 4.3.
So flash a custom rom or a stock 4.4.2 rom and you will be fine.

[Q] Help me problems with the TW Lolipop Modem and Bootloader

Hello guys, I need urgent help and i think others who are using the same Bootloader and Modem as well as they flashed the (N9005XXUGBNL8) 5.0 Lolipop firmware and fail to update the old bootloader and modem (N9005XXUENA6) 4.4.2 Kitkat using Odin3 v3.10. I've tried every single Odin versions and I followed the steps correctly. As i flash my Note 3 using Odin3 v3.10, it pass and boot as usual but when i check my About Phone in the settings, the Baseband remains the same. Even when i check the Phone Info, Its modem and bootloader is still the old 4.4.2 Kitkat. So how can I fix this? Or do i just flash an old 4.4.2 Rom back to its Original state before Lolipop? I really did tried all the stuffs i know from the web. Please get back to me if anyone can solve this problem. Because im stuck here with a 5.0 Lolipop installed to my phone but my modem and bootloader is 4.2.2 Kitkat. I even tried maually flashing the modem 4 times using Odin but still no luck. Do help me as quick as possible.

Still no luck bro , I think its the bootloader problem. But im not sure if my bootloader is lock or just that this old bootloader is stuck forever. Someone help me fix this bootloader problem on the (N9005XXUENA6) Leak 4.4.2 kitkat firmware.

downgrade lollipop to kitkat 4.4.2

Hello. Today I installed on my notes 3 SM-N9005 lollipop 5.0 version Poland but I found them a few problems: the first is that the vibration of the keyboard does not work. I found two of the slowdowns in the task manager. Now if I want to return to kitkat I can do fleshando firmware via Odin? ??
+1
I asked the same question with no accurate answer, i found a thread on how to downgrade from leaked ver. Of lolipop and not the official one and i won't risk trying this method, what I'm asking for is it possible to downgrade to official kitkat using odin specially that i have ticked update bootloader button when i flashed official Lolipop.
Will this work or we are risking our mobiles for a brick?
Appreciate if someone answered us with a proven record.
Regards,
however I have seen videos on youtube that have made the downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3 fleshando only the firmaware dacendo and then wipe data / cache. I think the same procedure also applies to switch lollipop kitkat.
It's safe to downgrade using odin. I did it myself from the leaked and the official release (both of them with the bootloader updated). In case odin complains about size just check my last posts and use the PIT file I provided.

Hi,
I have downgraded from the Polish Lollipop without using a PIT file - successfully. You will need to carry out a data wipe and factory reset, but it worked fine.
I couldn't... flashing ENC2 with Odin gave me size error, flashing with PIT solved that, but my IMEI and Baseband were gone. I gave up at that point, flashed Lolipop again and am back to normal now.

[Q] Stuck At Boot Animation From Lollipop Downgrade

Ok so I'd like to put AllianceROM on my international version SM-G900F H3G UK model.
To do so, my plan is to downgrade lollipop to 4.4.2 stock, root with TowelRoot, then install the ROM through Mobile Odin Pro (to preserve the KNOX counter). I've just tried to flash 4.4.2 onto the phone, but I cannot get it to start at all after it's flashed. The phone just hangs on the Three (H3G) boot animation.
I'm hoping that I've just got confused with the Sammobile site and that I've just flashed the wrong 4.4.2 firmware (so far tried flashing ANG2 and ANE2). Something I should have checked earlier but I just thought they were updated versions of the same ROM).
If I can't successfully boot into 4.4.2, I'd like to try flashing lollipop to retrieve some files I forgot to backup (another silly mistake). I'm not sure whether I can take files off it through the ADB sideload or whatever but if I have to lose all my data then I'm not too bothered.
What's the best way to go about my situation?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Right, thanks man. After flashing lollipop, I can now boot up and back up stuff. I'll flash 4.2.2 again and factory reset.
