Downgrade from 5.0 to 4.4.4 with older bootloader?

Hi,
By older devices we CAN'T Downgrade to older Ver. like from 5.0 to 4.4.4. (or 4.4.2 on S5)
So my Q is can I flash new custom rom base 5.0 TW and keep older Bootloader (or I have to flash new bootloader to use 5.0),
so I can downgreade safely to 4.4.4 or Know will prevent it too?
What about Downgrade on cm/aosp/aokp? (5.0/4.4.4/4.2.2 etc with older devices like S5)
Thank you!
So I recommend don't rush to update ver. 5.0.
For now We have to be with patience wait for reviews from other Users...

5.0 isnt out yet...

I can't see where is the 5.0!
Did you say NOTE4?

For S5 G900F 5.0 is out in Poland...
But, this Q are before the 5.0 it out for everone...and pepole will upgreat and get stuck with 5.0 Only
without the option to Downgrade from 5.0 to 4.4.4 .

Any reason to stay on 4.4.4 anyway? Can't see myself downgrading once I'm on Lollipop. Can't wait tbh.

How can anyone answer your question since there is no 5.0 firmware for the Note 4 available at the moment? We can only speculate that it will not possible to downgrade, but we can't know for sure. You're way ahead of yourself.

Rumours say the poppin' Lolli will make rooting more difficult than ever before. That's quite a good reason if it turns out to be true.

1. That's sadly true. The developer has said he is working on it but he was being very vague as to when or if it will be made available.
2. It's still early, the update has only been available for less than a day so I'd give it time.
3. The solution is to hold off updating until there are some detailed reviews and bug reports for the new firmware. Surely the forums will be flooded with posts in no time after the update.
4. There are problems with CF Root on the Note 4 even on 4.4.4, some people report random reboots. I can't really comment on the validity of the reports though, as I opted not to root.
All in all, just don't immediately update, wait and see.

Yes, What I recommend in the 1st post
Don't rush to update ver. 5.0.
For now We have to be with patience wait for reviews from other Users...
Thank you for your answers ! :good:

Update:[
O.K,
Some users can get Downgert for now on S5 G900F ONLY , but we can't know if samsung will block it in new Ver. of 5.0 and cause brick !!
For now in this 5.0 ON S5 900F ONLY from poland:
1.Backup everything
2.flashed it with stock ANG7 (one file).
3.After I flashed, I caught boot loop but then I entered to the stock recovery and did Wipe data/factory reset and reboot - that's all
Thank you @BaRTaSs88 for the info!

[Q] Downgrading Galaxy S5 (Sm-G900H) from Lollipop(5.0) to KitKat4.4.x

Hello guys!
Recently I downloaded the Lollipop firmware from SamMobile and ungraded my Galaxy S5(G900H) to Lollipop but to my utter disappointment the new Android is gross for me.
So I just want to go back to KitKAt and my serious question that would it be just fine if I download the StockROM(4.4.x) from SamMobile and flash it through odin?
Will I not lose my Service Signals?
Would I need any particular modem after the downgrade?
My phone is not rooted,
Thanks....

You should be all right as long as you're getting the right version for the right device based on the right carrier. I've found that Kies has made it possible to unbork my past devices, but right now I haven't attempted to downgrade my phone from lollipop to Kitkat using it.

No

Nothing past 4.4.2 can be rooted as of now, you cannot downgrade to an earlier version to root.

Tips and advices.

Hello everyone! I always had rooted all my devices and now just upgraded my note3 to note 4 and I really can't find a safe way to root the note 4n910f with the latest official updates on him (5.1.1 COI3 ). Any advice for a safe root method? Thank you all!

What do you mean by safe ? Are you talking about rooting without triggering know? If so then not possible for 5.1.1 atm and most likely not gonna happen.
Other then that just check out the rooting guides.
