thanks for replying but is it save that flash 4.4.2 via odin and after flash will I receive the official update from samsung?
And one thing, after flashing to 4.4.2 I have to root the phone again or not.???
Thing is, odin 4.3 or other old firmware and then OTA to 4.4.2 , or odin 4.4.2 firmware in the first place, it's same process you have to do but with different firmware.
Yes, if you leave newly flashed firmware untouched.
You will probably have to root again.
You can also choose odin flash recovery and then flash pre-rooted ROM to have everything done in less process
Please I own a SM-910H version of the Galaxy Note 4. I tried to flash the N5 ported Sixperience rom but I was experiencing a bootloop because my bootloader wasn't a lollipop 5.1.1 bootloader. I downloaded the 5.1.1 bootloader (910HXXU1COH4) and for some unknown reason I'm not able to flash via odin. It fails whenever it gets to "sboot.bi". I tried flashing the stock firmware, both lollipop 5.0.2 and 5.1.1 but they all fail when it gets to "sboot.bin". But I'm able to flash Recoveries and 910HXXU2COJ4 bootloader.
I reverted back to stock kernel and recovery and still didn't solve the problem. I tried to flash CyanogenMod 12.1 via recovery it also didn't work.
Please I need help to fix this problem because I'm afraid it might affect me in the coming months if I want to flash android 6.0 Marshmallow.
Below are the information on my phone frmware

Sorry, it is impossible to downgrade to 4.3 once you've upgraded to 5.0. You CAN however downgrade to 4.4 downloading the firmware from sammobile and flashing it with odin. But what do you like about kit kat that Lollipop doesn't have?
If you really want 4.3, flash a custom ROM that is based off a stock 4.3 ROM.
in status bar was notifvation toggles the biggest and thats greeen color more confortable then lollipop 5.0 notification draw........ i dont like 5.0 android.

You could try Jellybean or KitKat ROMS if you feel those Android versions to be better. There's also Lollipop and Marshmallow
But when it comes to PURE AND STOCK Jellybean 4.3 downgrade, it is impossible.
All that was mentioned before is true. You can't overwrite the new bootloader with the old one. If you really want to downgrade, I recommend https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2472301 . It's a very old Android 4.4.2 ROM. I used it when it was 4.3 back in December 2013 ( oh man,the memories! ) .It was a great ROM,maybe THE best one at the time. Stability,battery life and customization,it was all there. ROM died and the thread was closed because, I quote, "Thread closed and links removed as the OP is trying to push all his donation-only themes and paid for applications, which is in violation of the terms set out in this portal post and also counts as soliciting donations and commercial advertisement." ... he was basically offering skins for the Samsung keyboard for money. I still love the ROM, if you really want to downgrade, but I can't recommend it. Flash via TWRP 2.8.7.0 and you should be good to go (theoretically) . I would however recommend trying MagMa NX ROM (for a more stock feeling) or AryaMod Note 7 port (for customization). If you don't want a newer ROM,I recommend AryaMod 5.0 . It is based on the stock Samsung Lollipop.

u need root to be able to downgrade, flash the 5.0 firmware via odin, root the phone and flash a kit kat rom and you will be more happy than ever lol
Root isn't required to downgrade and the OP wants JB, not KK.

Hey - could you fix this at all ?
Hey guys, I got an Samsung Galaxy Note3 That really stuck on logo before flashing the device. The model number is SM-N9005. I tried to flash the device with the never version of Android and it doesn't work. I tried to flash with the older version and custom rom but it still did the same. I can't figure it out what's the problem. I hope you guys help me out with this issues. I use odin v3.0.7 and if you guys had any suggestion using the other device please let me know about it. Thanks
Just download the stock firmware for your device
Just download the stock firmware for your device from sammobile.com it's free and flash it with Odin
This will put you on 5.0 lollipop but then you can just flash twrp and install any other custom ROM and btw I think that the problem you are facing is because you didn't flash the new bootloader and modem for the ROM you tried installing.
