flash again the last stock Lollipop from which you tried to downgrade.
Are you flashing the stock kk rom from sammobile.com?

You should have better search and reading before you try to downgrade,it's not possible to downgrade from stock Lollipop to Kitkat because Lollipop has diffrent bootloader.
The forum here is full of it.

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

I dont think you follow what I mean I dont want to downgrade from 4.4.2 per se I just want to use the other stock versions of 4.4.2 kitkat that have been released. Am I unable to downgrade from a higher version of kitkat to a lower previous version of kitkat that was avaialble a month before?
Same BTU stock version ie ugn9 down to ufn8 or something

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,
My Phone Samsung Galaxy S4 Black edition(India INS) got automatically upgraded to 5.0.1 Lollipop from Kitkat 4.4.2.
Since the upgrade i feel there a performance issues in my phone.
Now,I have decided to Downgrade it to Kitkat.I have identified the correct firmware from SAM Mobile below,
Model GT-I9500
Model name GALAXY S4
Country India (Black Edition)
Version Android 4.4.2
Changelist 923538
Build date Wed, 05 Mar 2014 07:25:51 +0000
Product code INS
PDA I9500XXUFNC1
CSC I9500YDDFNC2
I know all the procedures to Flash the firmware using Odin.
I have few questions below,
1)If i downgrade to the above kitkat version,Will i face Null IMEI problem and why?
2)I have also heard,the workaround for the null imei issue is to flash the modem.bin from lollipop firmware,then Baseband version will be still from Lollipop.Will this create signal problems in future?
Please share yours views and suggestions on this.
Thanks

There is a tool created by AntaresOne to backup IMEI. Do a backup then flash the kk.
Performance issue is usually because you didn.t factory reset phone after a major update.

Thanks for the reply.
Do i need to root the device to take the backup of IMEI using AntaresOne?
once i have downgraded to kitkat,I have install AntaresOne and restore the imei backup which i have taken earlier right?

Thanks.I'm not interested in rooting my device.
After downgrading to kitkat, if i get Null Imei issue,i can still resolve the issue to upgrading to the latest lollipop firmware right?

Theoretically, yes. But you know that sometimes bad things can happen.

You will get imei null for sure. That's normal. You have to reflash a lollipop modem afterwards.
I downgraded my s4 from lollipop to kitkat with odin and firmware from sammobile and i didn't had problem with imei.

Can you share the firmware details which you downloaded and flashed from SAM Mobile?
Is the version of S4 which you are using is a Black edition?

Once you upgraded to 5.1.1 lollipop or 6.0 marshmallow thats it your bootloader is locked you can't downgrade anymore to 4.4.4 or 5.0 only Tmobile note 4 n910t is possible to downgrade to kitket by flashing n910t2 firmware.
