TWRP doesn't touch the bootloader. /boot refers to the boot partition which includes the kernel and initial ramdisk. The bootloader is on a separate partition.
In addition, kitkat and lollipop bootloaders are similar enough that the TWRP and custom kernels work same on both.
Do keep in mind that if you flash stock ROM through Odin, it will replace your recovery with Samsung's stock, so you need to reflash TWRP.

Depends on what you mean.
If you are just talking about the bootloader, you can flash that and the radio through Odin separately.
If you are talking about the ROM, then typically you would flash stock through Odin.
If you are talking about custom ROMs, then you don't need to care about which bootloader you have.

Well did you keep ANY KIND FORM OF BACK UP TO RESTORE BEFORE GOING TO LOLLIPOP?
If not,
1. Returning to stock will bring you back to Stock KitKat ROM.
2. Back up your data and pictures to the cloud or Hard Drive.
3. Download your .kdz file using your IMEI from www.lg-firmware-rom.com
4. Like @raulx222 said, Return to Stock Firmware.
5. CREATE A NANDROID BACKUP.
6. Install your desired custom KitKat ROM.
Give more info please. When you flashed lollipop, which ROM you flashed? you flashed other files too?
Anyway, flashing the stock firmware is almost any time a way to solve the issues ..You could backup your files from TWRP via MTP and then flash the stock firmware. You also can backup your files with TWRP using a usb flash stick and a OTG cable.
restore to kitkat
Hello just flash this attached file in recovery. After that flash jb bootloader for d802 and baseband and recovery you use for roms you use. Everything will work
Btw the zip contains stock kk 20H partitions you need to restore. Simplerom to work on lollipop modify this partiton on your device to be as f320 model in some areas to get lollipop booting
Tell me did you make it boot
Hello,

Go to sammobile.com and download the latest firmware for your phone. Use Odin to flash it.
If you are rooted and have custom recovery like TWRP - do a nandroid first than once the stock has completed you can re-root, flash the custom recovery again and then restore system and data from the nandroid and you should be back to normal but with updated BL and modem.
If I install custom recovery (via odin) my stock recovery will be gone right. So, how do I backup my current stock recovery.img so that I can recover it later? I was looking for the answer on many threads and most xda members suggest to use the 'fastboot' method (which temporarily injected the custom recovery and return the stock recovery immediately). But this fastboot method does not work with Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-9005. Is there any other alternative how to backup the stock recovery?
EDIT: the alternative method that I can think of is to use Flashify app. It can backup the stock recovery image but, in other to use this app, I must be root. and in other to root i must install custom recovery.. and.... yeah I lost the stock recovery.. this is the problem.
Reflash the official rom

Hmmm.. here is my situation. I have the official ROM KitKat. It contains the kitkat stock recovery.img. I updated my phone to Lollipop and I believe it has updated my recovery.img to lollipop version (I found it has more options than the KitKat version). I cannot find the official ROM of my phone. My question is,
where can I find the official lollipop ROM? I just received it via OTA. Does reflashing the ROM will backup my recovery.img? I mean I want to obtain this recovery.img file.
Android System Recovery <3e>: LRX21V.N9005DXUGBOD1
rom try sammobile or samsung- updates .
never ever heard of a backed up recovery .
Short story: I need a TouchWiz ROM that I can flash from TWRP that won't re-lock my bootloader or touch the TWRP partition. What's the best one to use?
Longer story: I have SM-G900V running CM 13 that is currently unable to get a GPS lock unless airplane mode is enabled. So far I've been told the only fix for this is (high level instructions):
Nandroid backup of CM 13
Flash TouchWiz ROM
Get GPS lock in TouchWiz ROM
Restore CM 13 nandroid backup
Some of the troubleshooting steps involve root, hence the need for a rooted ROM. Can anyone help?
Download a full stock tar for your device and open it with winrar. Give me a screenshot of all the files inside (aboot, system, etc...)

Extract system.img.ext4, boot.img, modem.bin, NON-HLOS.bin, into a new folder on your desktop. Then use 7-Zip to make it all into a tar archive. Then flash that using Odin.
This is the PB1 firmware - so you will be on TW 5.0 after flashing it. If you want to be on TW MM, I can help with that too if you like
Thanks so much. And yes, how do I go about doing that for TW MM?
I've since realized that that .tar isn't rooted. Can anyone point me to a rooted TW ROM I could do this with?

Factory reset - also remember that MM takes about 20min on first boot.

Actually I used the Lollipop build as the instructions were much simpler. But I'll try to wipe from recovery and reflashing TW again and see if that works. Failing that, probably going to have to clean install CM and then restore apps using TB update.zip in recovery. Why is everything in mobile so godd*mn hard ...
Got everything working again! Thanks so much for your help!!!
I just need to start fresh on my A510FD and I was wondering if I could simply flash the stock firmware to get rid of TWRP. I have a backup of the original recovery. The question I'm trying to ask is: can you remove TWRP by flashing stock firmware or do you need the backup of the original recovery. If not, could anyone provide me with some instructions on how to flash my stock recovery? Thanks a lot everyone!
