But since you have break the knox you are not able to downgrade your phone i think

i also cant able to go back......****in chinease ver.... if i instal 4.4kik. through ozcan rom .... then phone's imei no. changes to null....:crying::crying:

facing the same problem here .but finally
Hi friends i flashed the CHN version lollipop after flashed that thing i can't go back to kitkat.but finally i flashed the 'philztouch recovery' via odin and rerooted and flashed the 5.0.1 gapps its done.but how can i go back to kitkat pls tell me any one?

There doesn't seem to be any fix for this. Some users posted that they managed to change to another rom, but they lost the IMEI and baseband. And they don't seem to be able to restore any of them. Even with a backup.

Probably not possible because you also can't downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3, so it makes sense that you can't downgrade.

R U sure
Folks,
I have the same problem.....
Tried to rollback to 4.4.2 and failed.... And I don't want to root>>>>
Did anyone tried some powefull tool to force the downgrade?

install cyanogenmod

i had the same prb with my s4 i9500 black edition. what i did is that i installed the official releas of android 5.0.1 (that you can find it in XDA forum) with odin than i downgrad it to 4.4.2 and the phone works.
I hope that it will work for you too

Is there a guide available to downgrade the 19505 from Lollipop ( at the moment i am using Official Cyanogenmod 12 5.0.2) to Kitkat ? I miss the features of the Xposed Modules very badly. In my opinion it is a disadvantage to upgrade your phone to Lollipop .

I'm from Philippines. Is it fine to install India's Lollipop Firmware for Galaxy E5?

The Philippines haven't got any Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop) update for Galaxy E5 (SM-E500H) yet (click), but India (click) has already. I'd like to know if it is fine to install theirs for my device. And, what are the implications if I do?
Device Status
- unlocked
- rooted
- using stock recovery
Thanks XDA peeps!

Hi
Hey Buddy,
I used the ROM in the link you provided & flashed it on my E5 purchased in UAE & its working great. Go give it a try

what is your model number?

It's fine to do so, please post a feedback for after update performance, As I'm hesistating to update or not, and If you have any games like Asphalt 8, does it still performa good on Android Lollipop?
Thanks in advance

Great Performance

Everything works fine. It is a smooth ROM with good battery life.

Guys need help . I updated to lollipop too . But now I want to go back to kitkat so that I can root .
how can I downgrade back to kitkat . Help please

Now that we got lollipop on e5, anybody has come up with a way to root it?

None I believe .. it's requirement is to be running on kitkat.
I still tried to root mine , to try it out
result: stuck on Samsung logo then screen turns green.
after this I just flashed my lollipop rom . Then I'm back to lollipop .not rooted

Did the same thing, updated it to Lollipop. It works well. But the thing is there's not yet any way to root a Lollipop updated E5. However I did try to root it, following its Kitkat's rooting procedure which caused it to froze up on Samsung logo (bootloop) plus followed by the screen turning green.
So now, it's back to Kitkat as I'm so used to using phones with xposed modules. But I'll update it once there's a Lollipop root available.
Cheers!

Wait ... you're running on kitkat now Bro ? Or lollipop ?
Galaxy e5 ? Did you root your e5 when it was running on lollipop ?

Am on lollipop waiting for lollipop root,

Yeah same here ... hope they make procedures on how to root e5 running on lollipop 5.1.1
---------- Post added at 08:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:15 AM ----------
Oh yeah Endroyed I also flashed India lollipop . For me battery life of kitkat is much better than lollipop .

I find lollipop has better battery life than kitkat. The only thing I miss is root

Hey mtadao can you send me some screens hots of your e5 lollipop what version are you using 5.1.1 ?

I flashed the Indian version from Sammobile. Actually the phone appearance changed very little if any and no bloatware was added

Yeah ... we have the same . Firmware .. .
---------- Post added at 07:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:23 AM ----------
I wish I could root my E5 running on lollipop

New update for 5.1.1 has been released 244MB. i have downloaded it but i don't see anything new although they say it's fixing bugs, security etc. Check it out

yeah ... i also heard about it the update .. they say it fixed palm selfie

I am trying to root it with kingroot app, but no use so far.
The available strategy doesn't work for me,but give it a try, it might work for you.
