Downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3?

xFrozen · Apr 10, 2014

Is it possible to downgrade back to 4.3?
I tried flashing the 4.3 firmware with Odin but it gave a failed message. I also tried flashing a 4.3 ROM but that just sent me into a bootloop. Hado to flash 4.4.2 with Odin to fix that.

I heard it's something about the bootloader that prevents downgrading.
Any ideas?

Not possible atm, maybe sometime later but quite possibly never.

is it possible via custom recovery? go back to a custom 4.3 rom? if you are on the 4.4 bootloader?

NO, once you have the 4.4 bootloader, you can NOT go back to 4.3 ROM's. At least not yet...

I haven't tested it, so you might want to contact him for details.
