Hi everyone,
I recently installed the CHN 5.0.1 lollipop on my S4(I9500).
I want to downgrade it to 4.4.2 kitkat official and upgrade it official 5.0.1.
i am not able to downgrade from lollipop to kitkat.
i downloaded my country stock firmware I9500DDUEMJ5 from sammobile and tried downgrading it using odin but every time it fails and i have to reinstall the same Chinese version lollipop all over again.
please some one help me with this problem.
Please tell me the proper steps to downgrade.
current bulid no :LRX22C.I9500ZCUJOA3
Device status : custom
thank you in advance
On stock rom you cant downgrade ,with flashing Lollipop the bootloader has upgradet en no way back on stock rom.
Sorry for the newbie question i am using samsung s4 from o2 uk and have their 4.4.2 version, i am unlocked now so can downgrade or upgrade to BTU unbranded 4.4.2 versions of which there appears to be 4 available in sammobile.
I understand that there is a new bootloader in 4.4.2 so am i able to upgrade /downgrade to any of the stock 4.4.2 firmwares without tripping knox or losing my imei?
I know to my annoyance that the new bootloader efs v2 in 4.1.2 xxemg4 for the samsung s3 prevented me to downgrade to any of the previous 4.1.2 stock roms due to this much to my annoyance as the battery life was superb on xxemc2 4.1.2 so i don't want to make the same mistake with 4.4.2, does anyonr know if there is another bootloader version in the latest 4.4.2 stock rom that may cause a similar issue?
Bear in mind i only want to be able to up down grade to any of the 4.4.2 that is available not go to 4.3 or up to 5.0 as far as you're aware are all versions of 4.4.2 BTU ok to flash in odin without issues?
no downgrade from kitkat

Yes as long as you are downloading the correct firmware for your phone based on model number you will be able to downgrade. Just use Odin and you should be set.
You can flash any 4.4.2. The different versions don't matter.
Are you 100% sure i can up or downgrade to any of the 4.4.2 versions?
I dont want to make a mistake like i did with my s3 whereby i updated to 4.1.2 xxemg4 the latest version of 4.1.2 available but had an efs v2 so was unable to downgrade to any of the 4.1.2 versions below it.
4.4.2 kikat has a new bootloader but they all have the same efs version right? Thanks for the help
Hi guys i wanted some advice on firmware/towel root please.
I got my s5 g900f on uk vodafone running Lolipop 5.0 BNL9 firmware.
I want to downgrade it to stock Kitkat 4.4.2 using odin so that i can use towel root to root it with knox 0x0.
I read there are 2 official stock Kitkat firmwares that towel root works on, ANCE & ANE2. Therefore i need to flash either.
Can someone please tell me which firmware out the 2 above is more stable and has better battery life? Should i flash the ANCE which is the official out of the box firmware or should i flash ANE2 which is the 1st update that came to the device?
Also could someone confirm that after the downgrade, if will i have any modem or wifi issues? Thank you
