Is it possible to downgrade to stock rom android 4.1? I know that there is no stock rom 4.1 for Note 5. What if I use stock rom from Note 2?

Back-porting a JB rom from a Note2 ?
Why would you need a downgrade, any specific reason?
I found MM to be one of the most polished Android to date.
I like to unlock my phone without having to go to a third party unlocker to do the work for me. So downgrading to 4.1, I can access its technical side and simply just unlock it.

I was lucky to get a refurbished note 3. It came with Android 4.3 so I rooted and installed safestrap. How do I use a kitkat custom rom? Is it as easy as just flashing it? I thought you couldn't flash a rom with a differ base?
Thanks so much!

I'm just wondering.. I installed AMG Evo9 a while ago, and I want to install a stock based rom which has Android 5.0
My phone is rooted and with Recovery installed, However I can't unlock its bootloader since it won't allow me to, meaning I can't flash any custom Kernel.
Can I install a 5.0 Stock based rom which has a higher compilation version? I mean 14.4.A.0.2xx or something? Or it's gonna brick my phone?
If I can do so, could someone explain me how?
Thanks in advance.

Bumping this question, thanks.
I've been rooted since KitKat (4.4), currently on Lollipop (5.0) and I believe my bootloader is still unlocked. How do I confirm this?
I'd like to upgrade it to Marshmallow 6.0/6.0.1, if that's possible. Any recommended path to the soft goodness of MM?
Of course.
Step 1: Don't

Well now because there are not official builds just yet, the ones uploaded were just test builds that apparently work smoothly but some apps don't work (android pay), if you manage to update and the official build comes out you will have to back up your data and wipe over and over again.
And you will also lose that sweet root permanently.

Why would you do that?
No to the downgrade question not possible at all. Phone came out in android 7.1.1 and once on oreo with bootloader v4 you can't even go back to android 7.1.1.
Miui if phone is rooted and a dev ported it over to note 8 then yes. Unrooted then No.
Search for launchers on play store that looks like android 4.1.2 (hopefully they will work on later android versions, but since everyone moved on who knows just have to try a few).
if i will root my device then warranty will go out right? In past, i rooted my note 5. but that got one problem after rooting called deep sleep mode problem. Is it safe to root? I have good knowledge of rooting so i am pretty sure that i can root without problem but afterwards there is any problem or not?
Thanks for help

What's your note 8 snapdragon (sm-n950U1/u/w) or exynos (SM-N950F/DS)?
If snapdragon then you have a locked bootloader which means only root and touchwiz custom rom (no MIUI) if your bootloader is v3 and below if v4 and up NO root.
If exynos then you'll have an unlock bootloader and check the note 8 rom forums. (So far it's all touchwiz roms atm, not much is happening) And yes once rooted Knox is forever tripped (no going back, so no Samsung pay, secure folder.) Depends where you live warranty will be gone (depend on your country's rules)..
Well Hi! I'm just curious about why our shamu don't have any miui port roms? Doesn't exist anymore? Or Impossible? I new for this well I'm a BIG FAN of Stock ANDROID UI's just asking..
@kidhudi: Yeah, it should be in Q&A. As to why there are no MIUI ROMs, most likely there are few device owners remaining who like them. After all this is a Nexus, and most Nexus owners tend to prefer the stock look and feel over what in effect is an iCrap skin.

Just scroll down the Android dev. Section and you will find a Miui 8 Rom based on Android 6.0.1 .
I flashed it when it came out back in the days , and it ran well for me .

Yes , no need to downgrade .
I even flashed it from Oreo.Flash Rom then let it Boot up , make your Setup and when done flash Opengapps 6.0.1
and Magisk if you wont Root .
You can even use the old Blackbird 1.9.1 or Francos 52
Kernel if you wish .
