Why u want downgrade to kk???
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk
In all honesty, kk has better auto screen brightness, and quite configurable on cm11. Only reason I flash go back to kk after 5mins of any 5.0 base rom
Lollipop sucks.

Many many many reason. Ex: suck battery life, xposed doesnt work prefect( very important 2 me)...
I dont think u can downgrade as ur bootloader will now be upgraded.. but i think only way for you is if only if someone has created a zip version of 4.4 stock firmware which can be flashed via custom recovery. [emoji14]

can i use some 4.4 custom firmware ????
What bootloader version do you have? How did you upgrade to Lollipop 5.1.1, did you flash txdbs's OB7 bootloader / OG5 ROM combo before flashing Hybrid? You can use Galaxy Tools or Synapse to see which bootloader you're on.
If you flashed the OG5 tar or took an OTA to 5.1.1, then there is no way back to 4.4 KK.

can u give me the link of the tools u said???
i found something on playstore but i wonder that it's correct???
Whoops, synapse won't work unless you have a kernel that supports it. Galaxy Tools is by idone and is no longer in the Play store, so you would have to Google search it. Edit: Phone Info Samsung in the Play store will tell you which bootloader you're on.
How did you upgrade to 5.1.1? Unless you specifically flashed txdbs's OB7 bootloader/OG5 ROM (in the Android Development section), chances are very low that you are on an OB7 bootloader or earlier, which means you are stuck on Lollipop.

hixx. phone info SS show my bootloader is OG5
i bought this used phone from my friends. it's already on 5.1.1 f..... Lollipop
Can i have a chance to downgrade to 5.0.1??? Or i stuck @ 5.1.1?
I think you are stuck on 5.1.1. But why would you want to go to 5.0.1? 5.1.1 is far superior - better battery life, less lag, Xposed works great
Hello,
I'm having this same issue with my recently updated Note 4 (Sprint)... Right after the upgrade, I noticed some static in the back speaker (or with audio at all)... It was all fine with 4.4.2 and 5.0.1, is there a recent way around this?

Quick question im considering jumping ship from my old 4.3 bootloader to 4.4 via oden. Any reason to go to current version rather stay?
I've gotten better battery life and a snappier processor on Kit Kat. I'm currently running Jedi Elite with Compulsion Kernel.
sent from my T~ Mobile Galaxy Note 3
Better features comes in KitKat, for me i would go for KitKat you wont regret it.
I guess the only reason why i haven't made the jump to 4.4 bootloader is due to not being able go back to 4.3 custom roms. That's why im trying to see if it worth it or not.
This looks like a thread to ask my question how do I know for sure my bootloader is 4.4 ?

Two ways,
.
1) go to settings > about phone > baseband
2) go to settings > about phone > Android Version

If you performed a full flash, then your modem will be updated as well. The baseband is your modem. If it says nb4, it has been updated.

I'm actually an AT&T N3 user, but about to get a tmobile and just change my apn's because of the locked bootloader situation with kitkat, but is there documentation on why its currently impossible to downgrade the bootloader from 4.4.2 to 4.3? Ran a search but maybe didnt use the right terms. fuse 3 issue?

Not sure if it was ever explained, all I know is once you move to official 4.4 in stock with no root or OTA it changes the bootloader. The only answer I gotten about going to 4.3 on a 4.4 BL is that any 4.3 roms are not compatible with 4.4 BL. I know it won't allow you to downgrade via odin, but not sure why it wont work with custom recovery and rom. Hopefully we will get that functionally soon. Thats why im so stubborn on keeping 4.3 BL.
Hi All,
I'm pretty new at this, so I hope I'm asking in the right place.
I'm waiting for the US KitKat update to come out via SamMobile, but I'm wondering if I need to update my bootloader at the same time that I flash the update?
I've read on this (Samsung Galaxy Note 8) Forum that some people where experiencing broken wifi when they updated with the UK KitKat version, and some were speculating that this could be because the bootloader in their device isn't compatible with KitKat?
I kinda wish I wouldn't have rooted and gone down this rabbit hole, but I figured that this would be the best way to get updates, also I really wanted to uninstall bloatware.
Thank you for taking the time to answer my question!
The official update should automatically update the bootloader, you can easily flash a full stock image and you should be good if that's the route you want to take.

Hello,
if I upgrade the bootloader for KitKat, is it still posible to flash other roms like cm11?
Thank you for enlighten me

I would assume so, since CM11 is based on KitKat.
However, you may want to get a second opinion from someone with more knowledge than myself.
Yes you would be able to install CM11 as well as 4.2.2 version ROMS.

I bought this phone for a family member. I did not read the forums ahead of time , but have learned that being on 4.3 is pretty crappy because you cant downgrade. i odined a root image of 4.3 found in the forums. I installed a recovery. I tried to upgrade to 4.2.2 cm11 and it failed. am i not able to install any roms on this phone at all, because of the knox 4.3 restrictions?

No. Check to make sure you have latest recovery, or try a different one.. Why would you want to install 4.2.2 when there is KitKat 4.4.2?

Afaik, cm still never updated their updater-scripts to include NC2 firmware in the asserts. Youll need to manually edit it in.

Hi All,
I have S3 T999v – Wind variant running on stock 4.4.2 , overall I hate this kitkat experience...
My issue is whenever I try to flash custom recovery TWRP (2.7.1.0 or older), it installs but when I try to take backup it shows nothing to take backup of (no System , no EFS etc....). When I try rebooting it gives error “NO OS Found” I am able to proceed anyways and it starts up phone fine.
Can anyone tell me what could be the issue here??? I wanna downgarde to either stock 4.3 or to install custom liquid smooth 4.4.4. but would prefer to take a back up just in case.
BTW my phone is rooted , rooted it with towel root.
Also can I flash T999 (t-mobile) based recoveries onto my T999v ?
Would appreciate your help :good:.
Thanks
I recommend using d2tmo recoveries over d2can. More roms will be flashable. And you can use any rom here in our forums.
For now, try using either cwm or philz recovery. Youre experiencing a known issue that I believe is related to the hardware revision. I keep hoping to attempt a fix, but just havent had time yet. But for now, one of the other recoveries should work for you.

Thanks buddy, yup CWM worked :good:
but why cant we downgrade to 4.3, i though it was that one cannot downgrade lower than 4.3 i.e. 4.2. in not possible now!
Knox. They prevent any downgrading to protect against tampering with Knox secure containers. You can't downgrade anymore, period. Anything beyond 4.3 or with Knox will be this way from now on.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T999 using Tapatalk
Yeah just like doc said, if you're on 4.3 firmware you can't downgrade firmware to 4.1.2, or if you're on 4.4.2 you can't downgrade to 4.3 or 4.1.2.. Anything lower than your current firmware is a no.. You can only flash equal or newer firmware
So currently I am running LiquidSmooth 3.2 Nightly 9-21 and I found out there was an update for Stock Rom from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4. So Should I update to 4.4.4 and if so is there a method to do so considering I am rooted at 4.4.2?
Though my plan is to update to 4.4.4 and then return to my root and the rom. What are your thoughts? Should I stay with that I have or update to 4.4.4 and if so, how?
If you're going back to the same ROM you might as well just stay there unless you want to try it

Do you think updating to 4.4.4 make a difference tho? Will anything change?
What do you want to compare it to? Touchwiz or aosp? If you're looking for it to improve or add to your experience on liquidsmooth, it won't
Nothing to my baseband or anything? If not then I might as well stay. Thanks dude
Well baseband is newer but you can just flash that separately
Unless you plan on doing the stock thing and being an average Joe, flash the NH7 modem and stay at 4.4.2.

You can Google on what the modem/baseband does. And it won't mess with your firmware.
what the major benefits of the 4.4.4 update? Better reception with the new modems? UI changes? My understanding of the 4.4.3 to 4.4.4 update was to stop exploit used by TowelRoot, but I don't recall what the 4.4.2 to 4.4.3 update involved.

There was no 4.4.3. We went from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4.
My data speeds are alot faster. No dropped signal. Better LTE speeds.
UI is the same.

Just a few toggles changed a little bit if you really look at it.. And feels faster and smoother to me too, no more of those annoying animation stutters that plagued 4.4.2
So How do I update?

Get the 4.4.4 firmware from sammobile.com, DL Odin 3.07 (or 3.09) onto your computer, unzip the firmware and place the tar.md5 file into the PDA slot in Odin, boot your phone into DL mode, connect your phone to computer and when Odin says your phone is added, press start. Once your phone boots back up (or Odin says "passed") you are done
