I've a 4.3 stock rom installed from the box for my s4 let version . I want to install a custom rom. In order to do that I need to install a custom recovery that I'm unable to flash. It does flash but it does not boot into recovery. It only restarts my phone. Knox New security is messy. Any idea guys. Need help urgently?

Hi guys, I just flashed a xxuena2 stock 4.4 kitkat rom via odin and was wondering if it was possible for me to flash a xxuena6 rom (the polish kitkat rom) over it
The main reason being, I think the xxuena2 baseband is whats stopping me from installing a custom rom - but I have no idea
The baseband is NA2 and the build number is NA6 they're one and the same afaik.
As for installing a custom ROM well you can install NA6 based ROMs only like flexkat, sweetrom kingdroid and crashrom. But not CM or older builds of said ROMs.

Yes you can flash any custom rom on KitKay but of course you will need a custom recovery

If you're using CM12.1 with JB bootloader than find a stock rom and flash with odin. But it's hard to find a JB firmware now.
If using LP bootloader you can only downgrade to KK.
Dial *#0011# if it could show your bootloader version.
Else install samsung phone info from playstore and screenshot as below.
If i want to downgrade to kk i just flash the official using odin ?

There are many posts reporting they successfully downgrade to kitkat from lollipop. For error free use the same region/country firmware of your phone(check your phone csc). Did you ever flash lollipop on your phone? Because it doesn't means that if you're running cm12.1 your phone has lollipop bootloader. The last time i check it can even run with jb botloader.
Myself however would refrain myself from downgrading as it could take some efforts to recover in case it's unsuccessfull
