You will only be able to downgrade to Lollipop. I believe it's because the bootloader cannot be downgraded to one that is compatible with KitKat.
Can anyone else help me with this? I think I'm right but I may be wrong.
Why not downgrade to a bone stock 5.1.1? Lollipop is much better than KitKat in my opinion. Good luck.

I had a 5.0 lollipop rom and issues with lag too. Never tried a bone stock. Kit Kat was flawless for me

Don't go back to a 5.0/5.01/5.02 ROM. Stick with a 5.1 or 5.1.1. You will have a better experience.

Give this one a try. It's a 5.1.1 Note 5 port. Looks pretty interesting. Good luck.

Sorry, I forgot to post the link. Do you still have a locked bootloader?
Here was my suggestion:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/development/purenote-5port5-1-1-rom-t3346368
If you really want to go back to KitKat you can flash a custom ROM based on 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 with TWRP.
This one is not bad for a KitKat ROM:

I'm on pb1 firmware. Just flashed the nk2 acheron rom and the nk2 kernel which is included in the rom.

Root for Galaxy S4 AT&T 4.3
Hello there,
So, today I managed to get my phone from the leaked MJ6 to MJ9 and managed to root it. This is how I did it.
1) Download V-Root (The one click root solution) from my attachment . THIS WORKS 100% FOR 4.3 MJ9!
2) On your device, go to Applications - Settings - More - About device.
3) What you need to do is here is TAP Baseband Version 5 times and this will enable Developer Options on your phone.
4) Now go back to More and click on Developer Options.
5) Click on "Enable USB Debugging"
Once you are done with the above steps,
6) Connect your device to the PC make sure it's powered ON and not on the lockscreen.
7) Open V-Root as administrator.
8) Click the little check box and click on Root.
9) This will do it's job and make the device restart.
10) Once the device restarts you have SuperSU installed AND THE PHONE IS ROOTED!
You'r Welcome

Test it out but after you "root" delete / uninstall the pc app and just edit your registry.

MJ6 was the leaked version as you know whereas MJ9 was the final official version released this Wednesday.
I can personally find a bit improvement in MJ9 also I think it solves the battery leakage problem of MJ6. It's working awesome so far.

I haven't updated nor tried to root the OTA but I wanted to comment on you comment. I bought the "pro" version a couple years ago and love it. I have used the root survival when I had a Moto RAZR HD Maxx and went from ICS to Jelly Bean. And it worked. Also a cool feature with PRO is that if the ROM came with Supersu built in, as most do , it will ask to uninstall or not the built in supersu and make the pro default.
I recommend it. Plus it helps fund the developer.

My Verizon Note 3 is only a month old and I haven't done anything to it yet due to lack of knolage. I also don't want to trip the Knox counter. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

I successfully installed jasmine, but I want a bit more out of my phone.

You have to flash the NC2 kernel to get hyperdrive to boot. It's flashed in Odin. Put your phone in download mode and flash in the ap slot. See this post here for NC2 kernel. Step 8 coming from NC4 OTA. You should boot up after that.

Curious anyone else downgrading?

Just out of curiosity if anyone else is downgrading back to 4.4.4. I honestly miss having Xposed Frameworks, I know its a matter of time but not being able to use some of the features is super annoying. I know at the moment there is no workaround for the Touchwiz framework issues and Xposed on 5.0, but if you are sticking with android L how are you dealing with not having Xposed? My biggest issue is with not being able to change DPI on an app basis and not the whole UI. Please feel free to comment on why you like Kitkat or Lollipop, thanks
Never upgraded to begin with, never will until Xposed for Lollipop on touchwiz comes out. Xposed is just too useful.

I too am a dirty girl when it comes to my love of Xposed. I stayed off of LP until today. I installed CM12 5.0.02 and on NK2 today and wasn't stopping until I got everything right. Now I have Xposed and most of my mods,which is great because touch wiz runs with horrible lag,takes up a lot of Ram and what have you. I can live without every touch wiz feature but Xposed is a must!
Lollipop and no problems here.
I was on lollipop for almost a month. The benefits of 5.0 did not make up for the hit on battery life. Back to KitKat & xposed (w/greenify & amplify). I will probably try tx_dbs_tx's rom when it is completed, but I'm thinking some 5.1 is what we really need.
How did you guys downgrade? By only flashing the modem, etc and staying on 4.4.4 bootloader? I tried ODIN 4.4.4 .tar but i messed up n took the update stock unrooted
I also was on LP since its release, to me it did feel smoother battery life was about the same but i just went back to nk2 yesterday and plan to also stay untill xposed is working on LP.

S6 Edge cleanest 5.1.1 Stock rom g925f? De-bloated?

Hello, hopefully I'm posting in the right place.
Basically I'm looking for a rom which is as close to stock as possible just without any bloatware at all, I basically want stock but without any pre-installed apps (ok with samsung stock apps s planner clock messaging ect)
My phone is currently on 6.0.1 sixperience rooted but that still has some koreans thing in there that annoy me so I'd rather go back to 5.1.1.
Would be great if someone could point me to one like this and hopefully a tutorial too as I'm very new. Thanks for your help.

Basically I'm looking for a rom which is as close to stock as possible just without any bloatware at all, I basically want stock but without any pre-installed apps (ok with samsung stock apps s planner clock messaging ect)
My phone is currently on 6.0.1 sixperience rooted but that still has some koreans thing in there that annoy me so I'd rather go back to 5.1.1.
Would be great if someone could point me to one like this and hopefully a tutorial too as I'm very new. Thanks for your help.

The xtresolite cutom rom is stock without the bloatware if there is anything you need for it there are flashable zips to restore them.

Xstrestolite is the quickest one indeed and wothout bloat.

That one looks good thanks, It says stock but debloated and a few nice tweaks, I'm currently on 6.0.1 sixperience with custom recovery, is it just a case of putting the rom onto my phone storage going into the recovery and doing a full wipe then flashing the rom? I would I be better off going back to 5.1.1 stock?
Thank again for your help in advance, I'm very new and only really got to 6.0.1 with a step by step guide.

That one doesn't look like stock? Wicken one has like a blue theme and stuff.
The xtresolite one looks good but I don't really know where to start, I already have sixperience and custom recovery on 6.0.1 installed but used a step by step guide.
How do I go about getting the rom installed from here? Also Do i need the 2.4a add on?
Wait your on MM?

Yeah I'm currently on 6.0.1 Sixperience which is a korean port, I only really got there as I followed a tutorial on youtube that was step by step didn't really know what I was doing. The sixperience Rom is fast and debloated but it still has some korean elements which annoy me so I wanted to go to a 5.1.1 rom that was debloated and fast, I'm not sure what I have to do to get it now as I've flashed a bootloader and stuff, I was thinking I could just go back to stock 5.1.1 and go from there, hopefully flashing to stock will get rid of any bootloader I installed. Any idea on how to get from 6.0.1 to the xerolite one?
Idk if you are able to go back unless the mm port you did was a custom rom only

Hi guys, I just thought I would make a reference guide of sorts for all of the 925W8 (Canadian) users because there seems to be a bit of confusion about some things, listed below are working roms, kernels, recovery and the proper xposed frameworks.
First and foremost this is in no way any of my OWN work, everything listed here is respectably reference only and any and all credit belong to the respective thread owners!
Second I wanted to share a little side note about our device, it is in similarity to the T-Mobile variant, from what I have gathered so far is that any custom roms from the T-mobile sections and s6/s6 edge universal sections are all compatible with our device provided we also flash a modified kernel afterwards. (suggested kernel with T/W8 call fix listed below.)
Third if anyone wants to add anything feel free to PM me, there are other W8 threads but I thought I would open one based off of my own personal experiences and current up to date methods.

Is the twisted kernel compatible with xtrestolite mod? Does changing the kernel gives your phone smooth and speed performance? Thanks

Honestly with xtrestolite I have been using stock because I've had a busy work week so I haven't been able to test. I never usually use custom kernels unless required (mainly callfix) but plan on checking them out for OC/UV!
I know I said I was updating this yesterday and didn't get around to it so I shall update a few things here and there today throughout the weekend (sorry guys, for whom has been following), I plan on including apps and mods that are universal for all our (listed) ROMs. [MAINLY 6.0+] (I'll also be dabbling in a few other forums to dig up some more useful information.)
I have used custom kernels with the OZOP rom and CRISSCROSS rom with no troubles, ran very smooth! (sorry for somewhat dodging your question until the end heh)

Use that link for your firmware and yes twrp works but you will want to use ODIN on a PC first and then use the PC to flash twrp with odin.

Oooh. Are you trying to flash custom roms?
Let me see if I can find our builds just BL and modem. Then you can just flash that with twrp. Also once you do update to MM you will need latest twrp.

CM13 on 925W8?
I'm a newb. Way back when I had an S3, I installed CyanogenMod and it was great. I haven't dabbled since. I'd like to install CM13 on my SM-925W8. Can someone tell me whether or not this is possible? I'd be very grateful. Thank you.
