You can use that method to restore MJ5. I have done that many times.

Short and simple. I want my Moto X rooted.
If I can keep my pictures through this process thats cool. I have folders and such set up that took me forever to do. Pictures are backed up so thats not really a problem. All my apps and music are replaceable.
If I have to downgrade to 4.2.2 I dont mind. I would probably end up staying there til Kitkat gets more app support.
Would I just need the 4.2.2 Camera OTA and use RSD lite to flash that?
I miss my S3..... ;(

I am aware of these threads. The first step for 4.4 root is to flash to 4.2 and i'm not quite sure on those steps.

Unfortunately you can't downgrade and keep your data. You will need to erase user data when downgrading to 4.2.2 otherwise your phone will boot loop.

Ive looked through all the threads linked and they all require I flash back to 4.2.2 but all the download links are giving me a "File not found". Not a 404 error. Is there somewhere else I can get the ROM?

So would I just put that file in RSD, put my phone in fastboot and flash that? Then use Pwnmymoto or Rockmymoto?

Yes- just delete the getvar line in the XML file of the flash.

Step 1 is to download and flash back to 4.2.2. Step 4 is to flash the 4.2.2 bootloader only.
How can I downgrade to 4.2.2? Do I need root?

Use RSD Lite and the proper SBF. No, you don't need root.
I hate to be one of those guys that says "search," but all this has been discussed many times. You really need to look at some of the other threads and do some research.
so i know ive see ths posted but searching isnt finding for some reason... i had to replace phone and it came with mi9.. shud i do the ota or root with mi9 and freeze it.. since we can root mj5 and use SS.. any reason really not to do the ota?
thanks
Only reason is that mi9 is a lot easier to since it has a Odin package as mj5 does not have a Odin package

anyway.. went ahead and updated and rooted/putting some roms on now to test out.. thanks for info.. it's what i figured..

If you have mj4 I don't believe a downgrade is possible
Though you can downgrade from mi5 no problem.
The stock mi3 file is still up at the Samsung update website. I don't remember the link at the moment.

If you're on mj4, you cannot go back to any previous version.

Yup I knew that was previously the case, and was pretty sure there was no workaround.
I hate when they do cap like that to the bootloader.
I'm going to take that as confirmation, as I knew back when mj4 first came out and I was maintain a Knox safe root thread. There were a few issues of people tripping Knox Even on a complete stock uprooted phone attempting to downgrade to run the Vega files.
Just hadn't looked into it since then wasn't sure someone hadn't worked around it.
Though why you would want to go back to mi3 is another question.

Yup, there are a few stock mj4 options (with or without root)
Check the development section.
I personally usually use Odin to flash the full official Samsung mj4 tar.

Just to go Security>Permission control > disable root permission
If you are using any third party root permission managers like SuperSu
Just uninstalling them would work.
Can I root my Z1 having the 4.3 version without downgrading? If so please tell me. I downgraded yesterday and ended up not having having any signal and my imei was a bunch of zero's.
If you know a fix for the downgrading problem that is fine too, as long as I can root it preferably tonight.
Thank you in advance

Whilst downgrading, you have to downgrade to .257 and then to .534. The problem with disappearing IMEI happens only if you downgrade directly to .534.
If you have an unlockable bootloader you could unlock your bootloader and then flash a custom kernel.
If you are on locked bootloader or would prefer to not unlock the bootloader, the only way is to downgrade all the way to .534, root, install recovery and then prerooted firmware.
Could you walk me through the process of downgrading twice without unlocking the bootloader, thanks.

I made the mistake of doing this last night and now my phone tells me I have an invalid sim... anyone one know how to solve that?
I solved it by flashing back to my stock rom, the . 290 one.

It's because AFAIK it's not pure MJ5 but it's modified. We never had MJ5 build on Kies or Sammobile.

I restored to mj5 and then did Ota update to another version which worked fine and then it tried to do an Ota update to 4.4.2 and fails. Thinking of trying emergency firmware restore via kies and see if that works.

It won't. Kies only has MI9. It will fail because of different flash count in aboot trust me.
