So I upgraded to lollipop 5.0.1 until I realized how much I miss xposed. Is downgrading as easy as just installing the custom TW Kk rom over the stock lollipop rom? Or do I have to Odin stock KitKat TW before switching to custom TW?

Never mind. I decided not to take the shortcut. Odin'd stock ANK4 and then flashed Firekat. All fine and dandy now! Thanks for the views!

Which Odin did you use? I'm trying to downgrade back to ANK4 but I'm stuck on a bootloop. I'm on odin 3.09 trying to flash stock ank4.
Boot into recovery and factory reset/clear data.

I was reading something about not being able to go back form 4.4 back to 4.3
is is true that I cant go back to 4.3 or lower if I change to 4.4, are they talking guff or is that only to do with if you have update to official stock firmware
thank you for your help in advance
Edit: ive modded my phone already tripped knox so that's not a problem. im running cm 10.1.3 stable at the mo
i assume you talk about CM11 - 4.4 - official 4.4 is not out yet...
ofc you can go back...i did it twice already...also got knox to 1(don't care)....
used OMNI ROM(4.4.2) - now on stock rooted and removed some samsung apps.
Of course, Odin back to 4.1.2, then flash 4.3again.

Have you flashed the stock 4.3 firmware before? If not, you don't have to care about Knox boot loader.

I was on 4.1.2 ripper rom first. Then 4.3 alliance rom and after it I tried many 4.4.2 aosp Roms. Now I wanted to go back to 4.3 and I flashed alliance rom without data wipe and it works like a charm. Maybe it's better to wipe, but for me it worked without it. Important is that you don't have Knox on your Sammy.

I have samsug g900a. I know that this rom is for International version but i read that it should work normally....my stock rom is: KOT49H.G900AUCU2AND3.
Maybe it is possible to unlock bootloader ? or maybe somebodey have this version of rom in flashable zip?

Not sure what you're trying to do here.
G900A device has locked bootloader are you trying to Odin a G900F Stock Rom to try and bypass locked bootloader? If thats your reasoning it won't do it.
Is your G900A rooted with Safestrap and if so just download a bone stock G900F Rom and flash in Safestrap.
Im no trying flash via odin because it is no possible...i have locked bootloader and i dont know how can i bypass it...i want flash via safestrap and i cant find flashable zip with g900f lolipop stock rom...

And is not possible to flash with safestrap do to missing bootloader. In order to have lolipop work on S5 you need to have correct bootloader. Since our bootloader is lock you can't do nothing now.
So, why i can flash other custom roms (for exmple "Omega" ) via safestrap and why i cant flash stock samsung lolipop rom?

You can flash G900A G 900T and G900F Roms if your G900A device is rooted with Safestrap installed. You will still have G900A stock kernel no matter what. Having a locked bootloader prevents you from flaahing custom kernels and that is the problem.
It is my understanding that to run the 5.0 Lollipop one must use a compatible custom kernel therefore you WON'T be able to yet since kernel is different.
When AT&T drops official 5.0 lollipop then you'll find developers will start building 5.0 Lollipop Roms.
But i have rooted device and i have installed safestrap...
Maybe, i dont understand but it is so strange for me...
So, maybe can i install stock rom with android 4.4.2 for g900f phones?

It's not about root or Safestrap its about the kernel. The official 5.0 for international G900F uses a different kernel than what is compatible with G900A and until AT&T drops official 5.0 lollipop you won't be able to flash official 5.0 Lollipop G900F Stock ROM.
Yes you can flash any TouchWiz G900F 4.4.2 with your rooted G900A with Safe strap.
Now i undestand thanks for your patience...
Where can i find stock flashable zip 4.4.2 from g900f?

If it's Stock OC4 received by OTA, then no. Go here if you're on 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3076803 pre-rooted too.

Wow, wish I had seen this before I asked for a new phone. Oh, well. New one will be here tomorrow. Thanks anyways guys.
Okay so about 3 hours ago I got my galaxy s6 and no I wish to root it although I'm out of the loop on what's going can someone clarify for me?. I keep seeing that root isn't supported on 5.1.1 luckily for me I'm still on 5.0.2, I tried ping pong root but that didn't work so now I'm thinking of using cf autoroot. I keep seeing people saying that after root they can't hear when making a call or that data is not working I'm just wondering what's going on? I just want to get updated
Sent from my SM-G920T using XDA Free mobile app
The people having the issues with call volume and fingerprint scanner are using the eng sboot for 5.1.1
Cf-autoroot or pingpong for 5.0.2 will both give you root with no issues :thumbup:

It was a leaked engineering bootloader. Yeah, if you're gonna do a custom rom, I would flash something that matches your bootloader. (5.0.2 rom for a 5.0.2 bootloader, etc)

ROOT is supported on 5.1.1 when you flash the custom kernel called UniKernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...d-development/kernel-stockmod-kernel-t3100395 and TWRP is also available for people running 5.1.1 only version 2.8.7.1 though but still don't update because most ROMS are based on 5.1.1 and you cant flash a ROM that is based on 5.0.2 right now.

Hmm so I can't flash 5.0.2 roms right now? That's weird because last night I flashed twrp via Odin and then flashed the super su zip then flashed looper rom and that's 5.0.2 and it's been pretty great so far

Yes but do you have the 5.1.1 bootloader? If so you can only flash 5.1.1 ROMS.
Why doesn't it work on of6?
