Recently i've bought a s4 but i've noticed something . when i enter to about device it shows me that my phone is i9505
but when i enter to Download mode it shows me that my version is e300k... So what's exactly wrong with that ?
also it's running lollipo 5.0.1 and i'm not really happy with it (battery drain & cpu heat) i wish i could downgrade to 4.4.2
It is what download mode says it is, period.
You can try to downgrade, but it won't always succeed.

I'm a custom ROM person. And I don't believe there will be a huge difference in battery life if you downgrade. It's probably some placebo.

Nope you can no longer downgrade to 4.3 after flashing 4.4.2 stock rom.have a nice day.
So if he flashes a 4.3 ROM via Odin, what would happen? Brick?

Once you have flashed 4.4.2 there is no going back to 4.3 as @Repulsa & others have already told you :cyclops:

any opinions on trying this ? Thanks!
on youtube i saw a person using i9505 having kitkat.he downgraded from 4.4.2 to 4.3 using mobile odin. n it worked well.
as mobile odin is not supported on i9500 we cant do this.
but the important thing is that he downgraded.that means it is possible.
please devs..help us guys.please.i am fed up of kitkat n i am on the same boat to have jellybean back.
one more thing, what if we flash jellybean custom rom over kitkat.will it work ?

post the link to this video
/ I found it - nothing new - familiar things
Sometimes it is possible to downgrade, but for sure my friend, then u won't have wifi and/or sound
tapatalked by an Echoenian on old b/l without knox
What if he installs a custom 4.3 rom?
Would that work? can he install the custom rom in recovery? or that would brick the phone because of the new bootloader?

downgrade always possible but there are problems
example
sound, calls
can be fixed using a custom kernel, mods, etc.
but this did not benefit
why necessary ? 4.4.2 is better
question is downgrade and reset Knox
it is
everything else is nothing
confirmed for I9500 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2686882

1. The unique you can do is WIPE ALL and flash again the latest firmware android 4.4.2 through ODIN (maybe flash it 2 times for fix baseband)
2. 3G will be a problem of the config of ur phone, no of ur firmware. Call ur telephone company and they will help ya fixing the rest
3. Good luck :highfive:

Try to do a factory reset. If it doesn't help they try flashing another rom.

if you have updated to "coj5" or newer builds of 5.1.1 then you can not go back to kitkat or even previous builds of 5.1.1 or 5.0.1. thats why you get "failed" error in odin. unfortunately there is no way to downgrade as of now because coj5 locks the bootloader.

Damn I just downgraded a few days ago with exactly the COJ5 version. I've also heard that some people can't downgrade but it seems like I never had a problem with this.
Maybe if i had such a problem I would try to install a custom ROM / other bootloader with Odin first to see if works with a stock kitkat rom after.

Ok hopefully someone can help me out with teamviewer .. will gladly compensate for your time.
i got this note 3 which was blacklisted .
had someone help me repair imei
but while doing that he installed the original (?) OS from korea SKT telecom.
now its rebooting and baseband shows unknown. i have sent him messages but no response.
i am hoping to get it running nougat first (lineage or any variety ) will then try and get imei repaired again.
Can anyone with LOTS of experience in this stuff message and help me ?
Sorry if this post is off topic and need to be moved elsewhere.

If the label under the battery says sm-n9005 and download mode says sm-n900s, it appears that you have a "frankenphone" whereby the phone is put together with different parts from different models of the Note 3.
Is this the ROM you tried to flash: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note3/SM-N900S/SKT/download/N900SKSU0GPI1/98062/ ?
Did you perform a factory reset after flashing the phone but before booting the phone for the first time?

If everything works on a stock ROM, you try flashing TWRP using Odin. This will allow you to backup the existing ROM and flash a custom ROM.
