Is it possible to downgrade to KK to get root/rom support? Been reading up on the device while it was in transit was expecting it to come with KK from Samsung but....unboxed it and powered it up to Loli...

Yes you can downgrade to KK but why would you want to? Go to the Android Development sub-forum just below this sub forum and you'll find a thread with different build system files you can safely flash on your DE that will take you back to KK. You'll probably have to flash a different kernel that matches your build version also. CAUTION: Read the OP carefully and make sure you don't select retail firmware to flash.

Actually root and rom support for Lollipop has surpassed support for KK lately.

Hi! So, I bought this tablet a couple of weeks ago from one of the biggest electronics sellers in my country (SCAN Malta), and I haven't been able to update to the latest firmware (4.4 Kitkat, currently I'm on 4.3 JB). I tried to do this both OTA and through Kies, however I cannot seem to find information anywhere if there are some specific region models who have not received this update yet.
My tablet is an SM-P605 LTE edition (16gb) Wifi. My second question concerns the fact that I cannot seem to record videos at 60fps I am sure that I didn't get a counterfeit, but is there a way to check the genuinity of my purchase?
Hi there
What is the exact rom that it is currently on? What rom have you downloaded and tried to flash? You need to specify further details.

Thanks for the reply. I did not download any roms, I am trying to update normally without rooting and it's telling me that the latest updates/firmware has already been installed. As far as I'm aware kitkat is already out for this device through normal firmware updates.
My baseband version is P605xxubmj4

I can't get 60FPS either even after the KK update. Either it's not enabled in the ROM or it just doesn't exist on the P605.
If it's running 4.3 and you are awaiting 4.4.2 then you just have to wait until the rom is released in your country of residence. KK has not yet been released globally, peple such as myself have flashed the rom to have the latest OS.

Just bought this thing hoping I could put a custom rom on it came with 442 and I wish it was an older firmware so I can use a custom recovery for a new rom. Pissed...I would be happy with 4.3 custom rom...
Hi there!
I have a Galaxy S4 Mini l9195L (Latin version), which only can only officially upgrade to 4.2.2
Is it possible to upgrade it to 4.3 (or later) using custom firmware for a regular non-latin l9195 device?
I have researched many websites and forums but cannot find the answer.
Thank you so much in advance.
I was about to ask the same thing in the Kitkat thread. Hope someone can answer to this.

Its better NOT to use firmware/ROMs meant for devices of different model number. Yes I9195 and I9195L have same hardware but there is a reason why sammy uses different model numbers. Wait for official kitkat, go to sammobile firmware section and search for I9195L.
I do not think you will be able to flash any stock based kitkat custom roms on I9195L. It gives error as it is looking for i9195 and u have i9195l.
Be patient. never be complacent.

I have to say no. I can't even find a 4.4.4 rom for it. Samsung wants to you to spend hundreds again for the latest models and this is how they get you to do it. It seems to be a very neglected device by devs too. I'm guessing because of the Intel processor in it.

Not about the processor, but just business. Samsung will make u get a new device in order to receive lolipop. But there is a chance if people can develop/port in lolipop rom and kernel unofficially.

I meant Samsung won't release Lollipop for older devices because they want you to buy a newer one. And I meant developers are turned off to it because of the Intel processor. I remember reading that in a post somewhere.

yea, x86 processor give us the developers a tones of trouble, but just to let u know that there is still plenty of developers working on developing mods roms and more for this device.
Ok, thanks.
It's strange that the old galaxy tab 10.1 (P7500) received a lollipop rom, and this tablet didn't, isn't it?

agree, i dont think there is a hope for official stock lolipop firmware, but there is still plenty of hope on custom lolipop rom
I've run into a few posts here and there referring to a kitkat 4.4.4 for my Tmobile Note 3. They mostly refer to a build number of N900TUVUDNK3 which I cannot find. That version appears to me to be maybe the release before N900TUVUENK3 which is 4.4.2 according to Sammobile. So what gives? Is this 4.4.4 stuff all wrong?
I've just about decided to hold off on Lollipop for now and load the latest Kitkat rooted with TWRP recovery. I believe that is N900TUVUENK3 but I'd like to make certain.

I'd firstly like to state I am new to the forums, and give my thanks to brilliant people who give guys like me somewhere to turn. Now, my question is, is it possible to downgrade from MM PJ1 to OGG or OJ1 or lollipop in general. I've seen a similiar thread about a UAE version or somethung that said it was possible. I have successfully downgraded a Note 3 from lollipop to kitkat, which has locked bootloader too if I'm correct..?, but I would like to have any input before I do this as it is my main phone. Thanks!
yes it is possible.

So in theory, i could downgrade to Lollipop and use the kernal auto-root to possibly get rotot? I just got an HTC 10 so I'm really itching to mess around with that s6 Edge Plus. Lol.
