Hello,
I've simple question.
Device rooted and TWRP v2.8.6.1 - SRKG2, stock lolipop 5.0.2 and i want to swap to MIUI v7 on 4.4.2.
Do i have to flash kitkat baseband's, kitkat bootstacks?
I'm lost a bit in this topic - about bootstacks and basebands working on our G2.
Regards.
You must flash kk bootloader and kk baseband because you downgrade kk from lp so require kk bootloader and baseband you can found kk bootloader in dorimanx's website

Well, since this is noob-friendly, would I be able to install a Custom ROM IF there were one available for 4.4.2? I got a Custom Recovery from Autorec and it said it downgraded my Bootloader so that it can install and old version of TWRP.

you can install any rom for your device as long as you meet the following-
a)if you are flashing a kk rom(g pro 2/flex kk/stock kk) then you just just have to either be on kk with recovery or flash the kk baseband for your device
b)if on kk and you want to flash jb rom(stock jb/flex jb) you need to flash the jb baseband at the same time as you flash the rom
c)if you want to flash an aosp rom you either check if it supports stock kk/if it doesn't mention anything flash a kk ported baseband for aosp kk or flash a jb baseband while flashing aosp rom

Yeah, it works! Thanks for verifying for me!
I am using lateat cloudyg2/dorimanx on D802. I have jb bootloader.
I want to update to a stock lollipop rom and use new dorimanx kernel.
Can I just wipe everything and flash? Do I need a Kitkat bumped bootloader? Or a lollipop bootloader(if there is one)?
Thank you.
Is it possible to downgrade the N910F from Lollipop (POF2) to KitKat (ANK5)?
YES, IT IS POSSIBLE.
Before yesterday I've never used KitKat on my Note4.. When I bought the phone I had no time to try it (KitKat) because I've straight rooted it and flashed a Lollipop based ROM.
Then yesterday I wanted to try a KitKat based ROM and I've lost about 30/40min looking in the forum for the answer to the question Is it possible to downgrade the N910F from Lollipop (POF2 or whatever) to KitKat (ANK5)?
I could not find a proper answer.. there was this BOF5 bootloader can not be downgraded but it was always in a "strange contest" and it did not convinced me.. after 30/40min I said ***k *t and I just performed a full wipe from TWRP, flashed ANK5 modem and bootloader via ODIN, and installed the KitKat ROM from TWRP.
Sorry for the Question/Answer but this thread may will help someone to save time.
P.S.: My KitKat adventure lasted only 10min... It looked ugly to my eyes! Went back on POF2 and now trying out AICP

When you flashed that lollipop-based rom, that was a custom rom I assume? Did it contain a bootloader? Maybe you were still on the KitKat bootloader.

Yes, it was a custom ROM. No, it didn't contain bootloader. No, I wasn't on the KitKat bootloader, for sure my bootloader was POF2. Trust me if I tell you that before the KitKat ROM I've flashed too many Lollipop ROMs with many Lollipop bootloaders.
I'm trying to do this but i fail in every action at odin with this SW rev. check fail. device 2 binary 1 in my SM-N910C and in odin its fail... ( i gets this after recovering my phone at kies after a bootloop )
i have a note 4 n910c with L.P 5.1.1 how a can downgrade to K.K or 5.01 L.P always fail when i try with odin. help please
Sorry if this is the wrong section but I'm new to this forum. I previously installed Cloudy 3.3, and then I installed MIUI7: to do it I did a backup of my whole rom and then flashed the KitKat baseband. If I want to flash a Lollipop rom, do I have to flash the Lollipop baseband? Or can i just restore my Cloudy rom?
You can restore Cloudy, it uses Kitkat kernel.
Okay, but let's pretend I wanted to install a Lollipop rom (like Cyanogenmod 12): can I keep the kitkat baseband or do I have to change it?
Hello friends now my gti9505 have custom lollipop rom.UHOJ2 base modem and bl.one suggest me can I flash custom kk base rom?any problem after flash kk base modem bl over on lollipop modem and bl?
Yes it will probably work.

A custom rom never contains a modem or bootloader. So no that does not apply.
It mean no any problems after flashing?
Some custom ROMs require an up-to-date modem and bootloader. If you flash a custom ROM, the imei may disappear or wifi/calls may not work if the ROM is too new for the phone's bootloader and modem.
Before installing a custom ROM on a phone, I make sure that the phone is working properly with the latest stock ROM.

He means it the other way around. He wants to use a kitkat rom on a lollipop bootloader and modem. That's shouldn't be a problem.
I see the OP asking 2 questions:
1) Can a KK ROM be flashed to a phone running an LP bootloader and modem. Generally, I would say yes but whether all functions work will depend on the KK ROM. Some custom KK ROMs I ran on my Nexus 5 required me to downgrade the bootloader and radio to KK versions.
2) Can a KK modem and bootloader be flashed over an existing LP modem and bootloader? I think it depends on the phone's installed bootloader.
Yes audit13 brother my quistion is no1. I have now albe95 astra v2 on UHOJ2 base modem and bl lollipop. And goes to goldfinger kk base.now confused what can I do?
Did not try on i9505 but it works on i9500. I think it will work but u should backup your EFS partition
I say try the KK ROM on the LP bootloader and modem. If it doesn't work, you'll either have to find another ROM or you'll have to try and flash a KK bootloader and modem over a LP bootloader and modem.
