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? ??

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.

[HELP] G900F Stuck in firmware update mode (odin mode)

Hi, I have a s5 (Singapore) G900F. I rooted it and installed lollipop. (it was initially running kk 4.4.2) However, when I restarted, it got stuck in recovery booting. I tried reflashing the stock lollipop rom from sammobile and that didn't work. I then tried the same thing but with nan erase all. When that didn't work I tried the original kk 4.4.2 rom with a G900F pit file from xda. Now my phone is stuck in the firmware update (connect to kies mode). Any advice at all would really be appreciated. Thanks.

Galaxy Note 4- Bricked After ODIN Flash 5.1.1

Bricked after ODIN flash
Started out with 5.0.1 rooted. Flashed TWRP and CM 12.1 which went great. Wanted to go back to stock Android so I downloaded 5.1.1 from Sammobile, put my phone into Download Mode (without wiping it) and just flashed it with ODIN. It failed, and now I can't go into recovery, neither start it "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again". Read somewhere that I could flash a pit file, but I will probably brick it for good if I try that. Does anyone know what I could do?
Note 4 (N910F).
Solved it after several attempts of flashing different modified versions of stock roms

SM-G900A 4.4.1 Cannot Flash Anything in Odin

So I just got my Samsung Galaxy S5 from AT&T, it's unlocked, but it's running Android 4.4.2... And Odin won't flash to Lollipop, What the heck am I supposed to do?
I followed this guide: [HOW TO][ALL VARIANTS][19/11/ Gain root, custom recovery
I downloaded these Odin files: Official Odin Lollipop 5.1.1 100% work
I even tried these: Stock 4.4.2 files
And I'm using Odin3_v3.10.6
All of Odin's attempts have failed, and so I'm stuck with 4.4.2, unless someone else knows a way to force it to upgrade somehow?
4.4.2 KitKat
I made an error when I typed up the post, but cannot edit the title. But everything else in the initial post is correct.

Phone not working after update.

Hey Guys,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime SM-G530H, the updater asked me to update the Android into Lollipop from its original firmware Kitkat 4.4.4. After finished installing, it started bootloop, it wouldn't boot to the Android. I tried to search from many sources, to fix my phone, and I found some thread that I must to reflash the firmware because they said it's corrupted. After that, I downloaded Odin, the firmware (Android Lollipop) and flash it. It still can't boot to the Android. I tried to flash to Kitkat and it seems that the Odin was failed to flash the firmware. I can't find the CSC and PDA code from the phone because I can't boot into Android. I also tried Kies and SmartSwitch to initialize my phone, but it didn't work.
What should I do now???
