You can't Odin to NK3 from MM PE3, so in order to do this you've gotta Odin downgrade to LP COK2 and THEN flash recovery flash the selected KK rom of choice and then whatever KK kernel ya can find that ya like, I've found that LLFK is still active and alive. You might also wanna Odin flash the KK modem too for better GPS location.
Samsung made it or tried to make it irreversible ever since COK2, it's impossible to Odin back down to NK3 KK, so you have to flash a rom, kernel and modem for matching baseband.

Trust me I played around for a day and a half until I discovered it was possible to boot a KK rom off of COK2 and messing with Odin too, just a warning if ya don't flash a kernel you won't have working WiFi at all. Can't even Odin to LP 5.0.1.
I tried 3 times, regular flashing once, no kernel or modem, WiFi toggles would stick and just freeze as if they hadn't been touched and switched on, another time with the kitkat modem Odin flashed after installing the KK rom, again no response to the WiFi toggles no sign of WiFi connectivity, GPS location was better than no old KK modem and faster at picking up a location and then I flashed a kernel and suddenly everything was working as it should.

So does it allow you to go back to 5.1.1 from 6.0.1 by just flashing 5.1.1 In Odin with everything working?
Yes you can, no I couldn't go any further back than COK2 5.1.1 Odin firmware everything working fresh like new out the box, any earlier Odin firmware attempts ended in the fail error everyone is posting about, tried with BOD7 5.0.1 Odin firmware and got the same error as KK firmware.
TL;DR Simplicity - COK2 LP 5.1.1 is the earliest you can back to in Odin, I think COK2 locked the previous version firmwares bootloader, trying to make downgrading to Original KK firmware irreversible.

Cool, I just want to go to 5.1.1 maybe to check out some of those roms. I'm using tekhd 6.0.1 deodex and saw some interesting 5.1.1 roms I might want to try as I just received a note edge after trading in my note 4 for a broken camera that didn't focus so I'm ready to start roming this bad boy. But a simple Odin back to 5.1.1 and I'm good to go sounds great. I was hesitant to update to 6.0.1 as I thought I wouldnt be able to go back but did the update anyway. Thanks for the response. I'll try in a few days after playing around with 6.0 for a few days.
In theory you could probably go down to LP 5.1.1 just by flashing a LP rom and a LP kernel, I don't see why the same method wouldn't work for that. So before ya Odin get a good LP kernel and LP rom and try that out, I seen someone say to do that to LP for KK and that's what made me try and find out.

True, but I'll want to have a clean install for any rom I use on 5.1.1 just in case. Thanks again, team work makes the dream work.....of being a flashaholic. Lol
Do you have to be rooted for this to work? Honestly I just want to root my phone, but it seems like you can't root MM if you're on T-mo. I figured downgrading was my only option.
This thread should be a sticky
I can't seem to find any Kitkat kernels and LLFK dropbox links won't load for me. Anyone know where to get kitkat kernels?
EDIT: Seems it was a problem with my computer. Got it to load on my phone. But the Mediafire link also seems broken with a captcha that won't load properly. I'll see how it goes without it.
@MikeChannon Should this be stickied? @Zuffle I'll see if I can find a mirror or if db works me then make one myself.

Well a couple of things. Tutorials normally go in the device General forum so they don't get lost in a sea of question threads, but the decision about whether it should be a sticky or not I normally leave to the Forum Moderators who are a bit more in touch with what's happening in the forum and know better what should be stickied.

lazy see,lazy do... .....:silly:
Theoretically this could be done for any version of the note edge, just remember to rollback and odin flash the matching version of 5.1.1 for your edge and then get the modem for it if possible and the kitkat rom of your choice, as well as root and twrp. But I believe and don't see why this side-step method wouldn't work for other versions of the edge and I imagine they (Sammy) locked the bootloader on all versions of 5.1.1, which is what people are getting hung up on in odin trying to flash 5.0.1 and 4.4.4
It's just the US models that Samsung locked the bootloader. I don't know about the Korean models but the other international models you can downgrade to any firmware of your choice.

I am about to root my Note 3 N9005(4.3 MJ7). Then flash 4.4.2(poland) to be able to flash X-Note v8. I don't want anything to go wrong so if anybody can explain step by step on how to do that, i would be really thankful.
There is numerous guides on the forum. Alternatively, check out the first post on any of the KK custom ROMS and it'll show you how.

Yes it does but it only says how to install the rom after you got root, flashed to 4.4.2 and have a custom recovery.
So it's i bit confusing
I don't want it to go wrong when you can't reset the knox counter.
download Kitkat (XEO generally used atm) - grab Odin 3.07 or 3.04 or even 1.85 -- don't use 3.09 - unrar kitkat so you have an MD5 file, put your phone in download mode (make sure reactivation lock is off beforehand) - load the MD5 into PDA slot in Odin, flash it.
Once Kitkat is installed, grab a custom recovery (make sure you have the right one for KK) install via Odin, flash via PDA slot, takes around 20seconds, reboot and voila recovery installed.
Download your ROM, boot into recovery, flash it from the location it's saved on your phone. boot up and set up. new ROM installed.
If you have a Hong Kong Note you need to read more, if you have an NEE Note you need to read more also.

Thanks. I have the International Note 3(Swedish). Which recovery for 4.4.2 do you recommend?
Swedish falls under the NEE region If I'm not mistaken, I wouldn't flash just yet due to some major FC's with dialer and settings etc, - Need to have a read around and see what issues people have and how they've (potentially) solved it.

Oh, that's to bad. I guess Poland Firm is also NEE.
People have had issues flashing XEO on NEE devices, It's possible it may work, and I might be wrong. But there has been issues on NEE devices, could be that your device may work. But I wouldn't want to recommend you to try just in case.

KK is TW based,if you want off TW try temasek's CM 11 or ProBAM with Yank555's kernel both work great, alternatively there is CarbonROM also which is doing a nightly build and looks good also.
For KK custom recovery you can use CWM by chenglu or the latest TWRP (not 6.3.7)

The plan was to flash 4.4.2(poland version) then flash X-Note v8 which requires the Poland version of the official 4.4.2.
Xeo KK roms works perfectly fine with mine Finnish note3(NEE). I have tried X-note 8.0 but it had some deep sleep problems(X-note kernel). I can warmly recommed Foxhound rom-Ground Zeroes 2.0 or clean and battery friendly Crash Rom 4.3.
Hey all!
Is it possible to downgrade from a newer (NE3) firmware to an older (ND3) through Odin or it will brick my phone because of the bootloader?
The only things I know are that 1) Downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3 is not possible 2) It's possibile to install a custom older rom on new bootloader and vice versa BUT I don't know if it's possible with stock roms with Odin.
I looked for a solution but nothing found and no one answered me so I opened this thread to find out a solution.
Thanks in advance.

I never actually tried going back to an older version but I really don't see why you shouldn't. As long as it's KitKat 4.4.2 just try it should work. I downgraded my Modem and haven't had any issue.
With the Bootloader worry...did you even change the bootloader? As well as the Modem you have to do that separate to the Rom, as flashing a Rom doesn't touch Modem an Bootloader!!! If you don't know how to do that please just leave it alone though unless you read, read, read a lot on how to do that.

Thanks for the reply, every time I install a new rom I make sure to update the bootloader and modem too, and from what I can read from the Synapse app I have the NE3 modem and NE4 bootloader.
I'm asking how to go back to older roms because going from 4.4.2 to 4.3 updating the bootloader with Odin you obtain only a fancy paper weight, and I didn't know if going from newer to older 4.4.2 bootloader it was the same story.

I'm pretty sure there won't be an issue mate since I flash between custom roms almost daily which are most of the time different models. If you want to be 100% sure wait for someone to confirm as I'm rooted since I got the chance to do so.
Thanks to the developer Civato I read on his FlexKat thread he correctly downgraded his bootloader from NE6 to ND6 with Odin...
So problem solved, this is definitely possible.
Thank you everyone for your replies :good:
Downgrading bootloaders on the same version generally tends to work OK, mainly because on 4.3 Samsung patched the security flaw which stopped you going <MJ7

Well,I would like to install the KitKat stock ROM and really did a lot of research but I cannot find it anywhere :'( . Do you know any source? And also,can I flash it with mobile ODIN? When I opened Mobile Odin Pro it said that if I don't have the boot loader for the ROM I want to install then I will experience a soft brick. Isn't TWRP a good boot loader?
Also,does it matter what version of N9005 I own? mine is: XXUGBOJ1. Could I flash smth that is not for this ..base band is it called?...
pls help

I would save all your personal data to the PC desktop. Wipe everything ( twice ), and then do a factory reset. Now odin flash back to whatever version of KK OS you want to run. Make sure you use a complete stock .tar firmware ( system/modem/bootloader ) from xda or sammoblie has them. Once you flash back to stock, odin flash it again to make sure everything installs. Then root and reinstall your data. If you do a lot of flashing from lollipop to KK, your going to have to take out the trash every once in while for lack of better words. I do a lot of flashing and end going back to bone stock about once a week, this helps from corrupting vital programs like efs. So in other words there is no magic pill. For more info click my signature the versions of KK might be different but the procedure is the same.

Downgrading official lollipop (XEO) to Kitkat (BTU)
Hello Note 3 users. I would like to ask (maybe someone already tried) to downgrade official (not leaked one with bugs as was mentioned) lollipop to kitkat? My phone originally had BTU kitkat, but I wanted to test lollipop and downloaded one from sammobile (XEO). Flashed as it was described in Sammobile website, everything went well. Rom is working well, but gps takes ages to fix, and only a few satellites. They are always lost while driving. Because of this reason I would like to come back to BTU kitkat again (get gps working normally again and receive future OTA updates). Can I flash Kitkat like it's described in sammobile? Wouldn't I mess the bootloader or something? (XEO Lollipop to BTU Kitkat)
I successfully downgraded from Samsung's official 5.0 to 4.4.2. I wiped the phone first in recovery. Then flashed using Odin version 3.09.
My Note 3 is an SM-N9005.
After receiving the 5.0 update yesterday for my Note 3 (product code XSI) and not liking it very much I will be downgrading again. At least the newer build in the XSI ROM seems more stable than the BTU ROM I tried before but I will still downgrade. One of my favourite apps, Delayed Lock, isn't working on 5.0.
Hi,
My Device is:
SM-N9005 LTE (32GB)
It was running 4.4. Kitkat and I tried to flash Android 5.0 via Odin. Everything went fine except wifi which did not turn on at all. While searching I found out that many users faced this and there isn't a best fix available yet. Probably I flashed a wrong firmware which may have caused some csc mismatch or kernel issue. I definitely needed the wifi back so i went on to try and experiment more on the device which brought me to CM 12.1 and I flashed it via TWRP. It brought back my wifi but now i miss some of my staple apps on this device especially S Pen Stylus & S health. I tried the simple method - downloading a firmware from sammobile and flashing it through Odin but it failed in Odin. Is there any way I can go back to to Stock firmware? My knox is at 0x1 but it doesn't matter much.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi,
I already tried that but it gives this error.
Maybe you have updated your bootloader that's why you can't downgrade. Try lollipop roms. Or try a tw based custom rom with twrp.
What is the baseband and bootloader on your phone?
Match the last 4 characters to firmware here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N9005/
I'm sorry for hijacking this post, but something fairly similar happened to me.
I've got an SM-N900, decided to update to Lollipop but despite all my efforts I've been getting awful battery life so I'd like to go back to KK.
Right now I'm using
Bootloader & PDA: N900UBUEBOF1
CSC: N900PGUEBOF2
Baseband: N900UBUEBOC3
and would like to go back to
PDA: N900UBUDND1
CSC: N900UWADND3
I've been reading and found that you need to flash this if your bootloader is on Lollipop, this is where my doubts begin. How do I know if my bootloader has been updated to Lollipop? If my BL is on Lollipop and I flash that file, can I install any KK rom?
Thank you for reading this, and I apologize for hijacking this thread.
I cannot quite think of an appropriate topic name for this but I know what I want to ask.
A long time back with my Note 3 I had everything nice and customised, updating my ROM regularly until the creator stopped and I decided to stick. Now I'd like to go back to a vanilla rooted version of Lollipop so that I can grab Xposed too. I'd also like to update the Baseband and add in a custom kernel along the way. I've not heard of Xposed for Marshmallow and Marshmallow is crippling my Shield K1 even with Nvidia's so-called fixes hence sticking with Lollipop.
O2 have offered me an SGS 6 Edge Plus or an Xperia Z5 Premium with "Lollipop, the latest software" for £49pm, no handset cost and £100 to pay off my Note 3 but for those prices, I'll be keeping my Note 3 past my contract end date
I know my way around the commands and the flashing guides but I've been away from the Note 3 forums for some time and I am aware that certain combinations can require specific steps to backtrack. If anyone could put me on the right path as to which big steps to take to avoid bricking then I can fill in the little gaps myself and get to my end goal I would be very grateful.
The below information should be sufficient to provide a base as to where I am to start with.

Phone: SM-N9005 (UK SGS Note 3)
ROM: KitKat 4.42 - last ever custom KitKat rom by CRASH (v19)
Baseband: N9005DXUGNK1
Kernel: 3.4.105-leankernel-hlte-3.14 (Dec 2014) #47
Build Number: KOT49H.N9005DXUGNK1
Root Status: Rooted with Xposed
Recovery: PhilZ Touch 6.48.4 (CWM v.6.0.5.0)
go to MultiX thread from @ykari4 and you will have everything you have.........it's not an obligation to update BL or modem but you can even with LP...like me
I am sorry if I wasn't clear in my opening post.
I would like to go from rooted Custom Kitkat to rooted stock Lollipop and update the baseband along the way. I am looking for the proper big steps to do this.

Thanks. I didn't know if I had to roll back in a specific order or whether it would be as straight forward as you've said. I can do that with my eyes closed
