Since the G531H can't be rooted yet, I've tried to downgrade to KitKat using odin and a image for the G530H. It failed. Can it be done?

It can't be done, since the g531h has another hardware specifications, you will ended with a bricked phone.

Go here, find the proper OS and country for your device >> http://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-G530H/page/1
Many pages, 11+..then use Odin..I personally havent reverted to KK from LP..but I have reverted to an earlier version of 5.1.1..because I'm new to Samsung..and my Grand Prime, from box with 5.1.1
Dont know if you can revert to 4.4.4
The reason being, is a possible bootloader version change..in my past experiance with Moto devices, once the bootloader version changes, reverting cannot be done..
Research this..which may be your flash failure cause..or maybe a bad download or incorrect OS for your device..the country code MUST match..

Thanks for your response, but still it didn't work. I did as you suggested; I downloaded
the correct firmware for my device, flashed it via Odin but failed. On device it shows "SW REV CHECK FAIL : (aboot) Fused 2 Binary 1" error
I recently updated to lollipop 5.0.2 via Odin, my phone model SM-G530H baseband G530HXXU2BOH5.
I think the reason I can't downgrade to Kitkat 4.4.4 is because of bootloader update.
I want to downgrade to Kitkat because most of the apps which used to work on Kitkat don't work on lollipop anymore, and also its very slow.
if anyone out there could help downgrade to Kitkat, plz do it. I would greatly appreciate it.
I'm sorry it didnt work for you..
Make sure you are flashing the correct OS for your device..I cant say for sure, new to Samsung..but probably a bootloader update issue..Maybe research which bootloader version with KK and LP..I think you may find your revert issue..I hope I'm wrong..please someone correct me if I'm wrong..

since no one can tell me how to downgrade to Kitkat, it feels like I 'm stuck on lollipop forever. I 'm desperate to go back to Kitkat ; kindly let me know if you come up with something.

Go down this list..do you see 4.4.4 anywhere.?
You are asking for something that doesnt exist..and also..bootloader will PROBABLY be an issue..Dont think you realize what you are asking for..
If you MUST have 4.4.4 then sale your device and purchase a device on 4.4.4..SOLUTION..
Note Edge bootloop: phone screen goes black after Samsung logo, what are my options?
i have a galaxy note edge, but couple of days back when i unpluged my phone from the charger and tried to turn it on it would not boot up properly;even if it did it would turn itself off at different times. so i had decided to flash stock rom, thinking this could solve the problem. i downloaded stock rom from sammobile, flash it via odin,and it was successful;but when the phone rebooted with rebooting recovery on the top left of the screen then the screen went black. to turn the the device on again i have to pull the battery out and put back in after 10-15 seconds. and now whenever i try to turn the device on, it boots up with 'rebooting to recovery' on the top left of the screen but goes black as soon as the samsung logo shows up. i don't know what's causing this problem.
if anyone out there could help me get out of this problem,i would greatly appreciate it
thanks in advanced
Wanted to ask if it is safe to flash build number LMY48B.G531HXXU0AOK2 with build date of Nov 2015 over the build LMY48B.G531HXXU0APC2 with build date in March 2016.
Tl;dr is it safe to flash an older lollipop build over a new one using odin
Galaxy S5 G900F. No lollipop update available.
Hi everyone,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 G900F with the baseband version G900FXXU1ANCE (if that's important). My phone's running on 4.4.2 ever since i got it and the lollipop update has been out for i dont know how long. But whenever i go to the device's settings and go to auto update , it always says "Latest updates have already been installed'. The same thing happens when I connect it with Samsung Kies. I'm new to the Samsung Galaxy series and i need help to get it updated to Lollipop. Everyone i Know who has an S5 has updated theirs to Lollipop but I can't seem to get mine to update. Even the people online on Samsung Support Chat were saying that they can't help me which is weird. Can anyone please help me upgrade my phone? Do i need to root it or something? Or is there another way to install an update?
My phone is Unlocked but is unrooted. Please help me. Thank you.

Hi,
I've been using SAMSUNG GALAXY GRAND PRIME SM-G530F for more than a year now and never faced any sort of problem before even though i rooted it immediately after purchase.
But after the update to kitKat 4.4.4 from kitkat 4.4.4, lol sounds crazy but i already had a kitkat on my phone but after the update of 76 MB file from OTA i didn't find much of a difference in settings but the notification panel was transparent and WiFi stopped working! It won't even turn on now. whenever i press the WiFi button it diminishes, and does nothing.
i tried everything, rebooting, wiping cache, even took it back to factory mode. but still the problem presist.. so could anyone help me with this problem?
i don't want to flash a new custom or official rom, there maybe some thing i could do make it work? :/
WiFi problem presisted in some devices back in jellybean too.. so that too could help me. please share any ideas or guesses below on the comment section. Thanks in advance!
Device: Samsung
Model no: SM-G530F
andriod version now: 4.4.4 kit kat
android before update: 4.4.4 kit kat
Country: UAE
Base band version: G530FXXU1AOES2
Root acess: rooted (Updated to OTA using wnamp, fake serial number)(Xposed Installer)
if needed any further information please let me know this has been a headache to me.
Edit: After i factory reset it, The transparent notification bar is gone means the update no longer exists.. but still the wifi problem presists. thanks!
I'm having the same problem new phone (same model), not rooted any help?
Im having the same problem with same model
I hope anyone can help me with this

notification from couple of months since I purhcased. due to slow internet didn't updated and now got good connection
and updated to lollipop 5.0.2 , now when tried to make call it says not registered to network for both sim and says emergency calls only in notification area and at network provider's name.

download the first kitkat J2 or the next J3, go to parameters/network/and chose 2G, this would solve the call problem, but if you want to use 4G, the problems will occur, but this would solve one part of your matter

In my case even I didn't remember what was the firmware or build number for my galaxy a5 duos SM-A5000 for kitkat 4.4.4
when updated to lollipop can't make any calls as it was showing emergency calls only.
I started searching for kitkat firmware for sm a5000 and downloaded, then odin and samsung usb drivers.
I also found that no one is recommending downgrading but I did and everything was as it is before. yes one
then when downgraded it went to loop of restarting which I was aware of before and cleared it's delvic and cache etc .
I suggest do proper homework before doing anything.
till today my phone is working perfectly and show that OTA update available my goodness .
these samsung phones are just a piece of crap. first time i got a samsunk ,

what I think downgrading or rolling back to correct firmware will solve you issue, you should download correct firmware according to your phone "model number", in my case it was SM-A5000, A5 duos.

I searched for official rom and downloaded from sammobile.com . I do not flash my mobiles normally. But i did because OTA upgrade which is provided by manufacturer there something went wrong and my mobile was unable to find networks. Thats why i downgraded after searching and reading articles on net. For custom roms sorry I've no information, try to ask some senior people.

As far as i remember there should be an option to disable the checking for updates.
Go to about device then software update, uncheck auto update
