Downgrade from 6.01-4.4.2

[jimbomodder]

Is it possible, I've seen a video where it is done but need to go to LP first, I much prefer kk on s5 as running a ported s5 kk on my s4 and wish to keep it. Any time I flash a kk stock based rom via twrp it boots to boot animation and then freezes and reboots. Any one done the downgrade?

I did it, straight from 6.0.1 to 4.4.2. But I did it using kdz files. I think you also need to downgrade the modem. etc.

Just make sure you reset your phone, clear cache/dalvik before you go to download mode. You will have boot loops otherwise. Which is easily fixed by going to recovery...and resetting, clearing cache.

Of course this means you can not keep your data. Do backup with TB, etc. and restore after.

I don't suppose u have a link to these files? With my s4 it was lp - kk and we used a modded tar file ( full rom) via Odin then flashed which ever stock kk we wanted. I feel stock 4.4.2 deodexed rooted with busy box is best for me.

Just get the stock 4.4.2 rom and flash it with odin you don't really need to do nothing special for that, anyways I would recommend to just install Cyanogenmod 13 and fell good about having a good rom, unlike us with the H variant stuck with ****ty touchwiz lol
