Hey Guys:angel:, I would like to know whether I can Restore an Old backup of Jellybean using T.W.R.P, now that my SM-N900 has KitKat!
Kindly tell me can I do that!?
:sly: Make a backup of the KK rom and try. Then you tell us.
Or as IzArsha said, try restore only data. But what's the point of it ?

Big NO cant do. You can only restore its data. But you might have FC i think

Apparently you can't go back to 4.3 after updating bootloader to 4.4.2. Something that Samsung put in I've been told.

Does anyone know if there is a aosp 4.3 rom for the sprint galaxy s4 that is pretty stable and has the option to update prl and profile.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I'm going to say no. Currently I don't know of any aosp roms that allow you to update prl or profile. This is true on Samsung and HTC phones.
Same. I don't know of any. Just make a backup, flash a two ROM, update PRL/profile, then restore your backup.

Yea, that's exactly what I do. I swap back and forth between Negalite and Carbon and keep them both up to date. If I'm on the aosp Rom I just restore the tw image, do the update prl or flash a custom one then restore back to aosp. Less than 30 minutes total.

Download the jellybean software. Put your phone in flash able mode by pusing the right combinations volumebutton etc. Bla bla.
Then flash that jellybean with odin on youre phone.and you are done. But be carefull iff u do it wrong you might brick it.

At this point you can not downgrade N9005 from 4.4 back to 4.3. If your knox flag is still 0 don't even try it, since you might void your warranty.
If it was an OTA (over the air) update or by kies, use your warranty. Downgrading will void your warranty. Take it to an authorized samsung centre and claim it.
Did you try partitioning for some reason?

You are on Jellybean. You can go to KK but can't go below MJ3 I believe, it's been a while and is pointless info in my case, so just be careful.
If you do decide to go to KK then you won't be able to go back to JB...
I think my bootloader is locked

It is possible to downgrade my friend but what we would recommend is that don't. Wait for another update to fix the issue on its own or if you are impatient (like we all are), take it to the support centre and ask them to fix the issue by reinstalling the same update on ur device. That is the best recommendation I can give.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
i know that it's impossible downgrade with bootloader locked
Wish u all the best with it. Just try not bricking it hehe

I recommend you better TWRP or Philz Recovery. Flashing custom recoveries don't wipe your device :highfive:
No. Flashing recoveries will not wipe your device., but it will trip knox to 0x1. This will void your warranty.
I also recommend TWRP. I couldn't flash CWM recovery. I did, but it just booted into the stock recovery instead of CWM. So I flashed TWRP.
Now that i rooted my phone, sometimes after im dome using it, when i hit the power button to off the sceeen, the phone randomly reboots. It Just straight away goes to the samsung spinning logo and then goes to the homescreen. But during the reboot it doesnt play the song and it doesnt go to the screen that says samsung galaxy s4 gt i9505. It's like its a quick reboot idk. This has happened three times now. Is there a way to fix this?

Flash the latest firmware for your device for solve your problems.
Where do i get the latest firmware from? And i dont know which is the latest one. Also will this remove root?

And has flashing the latest firmware removed this problem for other people?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app
Is this happening because of something called knox? Also can you explain what will happen after i flash the latest firmware? Will i lose root?

Amazing!
Hi, I have the same problem.
I do a wipe reset and a root: root is not working.
I removing root and make some root tentatives:
In Windows (Odin): not working
In Linux (motoshopper): not working
I have the XXUGNG8 and I don't understand why since this update, I can't root again!
Do you have an idea please?
If your talking about the random reboots, it happened to me because i let supersu app disable knox. After that the random reboots started. I fixed that by unfreezing the apps through titanium backup. For me 2 apps called knox notification manager and migration agent were frozen so i unfroze them through titanium backup. Then the random reboots stopped
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app
After that you have to remove all the knox files in your phone. Check here:

However, DO NOT delete a file called libknox_encryption.so otherwise your phone will not boot up.

For now, 5.0 is snappy and kind a fast but battery is the same as 4.4.2 , and still needs to be retoched a little...
S health doesn't work verry well it stops most of time..
Now if you want to test you you shoud know that you cannot go back to 4.4.2 very easily...
goodluck
Okay.. Thanks..
Why is it that I have trouble going back to 4.4.2?
Sent from my SM-G900F using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I was able to revert from Lollipop back to 4.4.2 without any issues. Used Odin and official 4.4.2 ROM.

Backup all items on internal storage and back up your current rom.
Not sure with official lollipop but leak version will wipe your phone storage.
Most importantly backup your efs+imei just in case.
I didnt backup anything before updating via odin. I got the firmware from sammobile.
Nothing was lost.

Well maybe you don't need it. Once you flash lollipop it's quite risky to go back to kit kat. Possible to downgrade, if you like some challenge.
So just go ahead flash lollipop with odin.
