Hi,
Yes you can !! downgrade with any custom rom they do not have a bootloader........with stock roms , that is something else.
Hey bro..are u confirm about this ? And one more question. . Is it must to downgrade on same custom rom..means.. from crash 4.4 to crash 4.2
Hasan 4.4 to. Hasan 4.2
Or it doesnt matter.just flash any version on any other version ???

Hi,
As long as they are custom rom you can jump back and forth no problem , custom rom do not have bootloaders ( stock roms do) , you just have to BACKUP first ( Nandroid , EFS) full wipe and install

thanx brother for instant reply. i have installed latest Ozcan rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2743877
main problem is that the rom is KITKAT .and i am unable to access USB MASS STORAGE mode on my S4. previously UMS mode was working on version 4.2.2 . i was using third party app for that - Usb Mass storage Enabler. So i want my functionality Back.

Just got my GT-N7000 , and my fingers are already itching to flash another STOCK ROM . Is it safe to assume that ALL the GT-N7000 have the same hardware specs ?
Mine came with UBKK2 firmware/Kernel , that is not listed among the custom kernels of CF-Root; this is why I want to flash another stock ROM (not yet interested in any custom ROM) . I am thinking of flashing the latest pre-ICS firmware . Any suggestion on a firmware version ? Should I pay attention to the baseband version included in the ROM ?
Also, since Kies does NOT show me any available updates I guess ODIN is my only option ( not yet been rooted ) . Will ODIN increase the flash counter even if I flash a stock ROM ?
Thanks in advance,

All GT N7000s are the same. Flash yourself some ICS.
Edit: Flash the latest German GB ROM if you don't want ICS.

Nope, flashing with Odin doesn't increase flash counter if you flash STOCK roms
Read this thread (post #2) for instructions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Edit:
btw, my suggestion is same as the above: flash new ICS rom, you have link to tutorial in the post above (post #1, next to ICS rom)
If you want newest GB rom with root, I think you have to flash older stock rom first, root it, and then flash newest GB rom using Mobile Odin + everroot ...
well since I am not rooted yet, I would need to flash and older firmware that will allow me to install CF ROOT AND CWM.

So here i am with a brand new GS4 GT-I9505 and i thought it would be clever to do what i did with my GS2 and root and flash a custom rom to it (Cyanogenmod 10.1 through TWRP)
Clever me forgot to back it up !!!NOOB!!! (but thats beside the point)
Now im stuck with this rom with wifi doesnt work or mobile data and a host of other problems (Such as every time i turn the device off i have to reset the time and date!)
I have looked on the net for weeks and cannot find a way to revert back to the original stock version of my phone as i wish to have this back with all of its features. Main problem being is that every video or text help that i find is for other versions of the phone. Really frustrating as i do not want to destroy/brick the phone.
Would appreciate if anyone could help me in restoring my phone to its original state/factory state. Am pulling my hair out over this. Im not new to this however step by step would be also appreciated
Details of the device:
Device - GT-I9505 (Orange/EE) Android 4.2.2
Cyanogenmod -10.1-20130509-UNOFFICAL-i9505
Custom Recovery - TWRP
Baseband Version - I9505XXUBMG7

Yes this will work no plm even if u have diffrnt baseband
for example u can flash any latest firmware which is available for any region without any issues "Not China" there some language is diffrnt if I m not wrng
But make sure its only for the variant u have like i9505 etc
Edit I always suggest take a back up of EFS of your device for safety

Don't worry u take a good sleep this thing will work :good:
Installing a pre rooted ROM won't give you stock/factory state.
If you really want your Official EE ROM go to Sammobile and download it.
Download triangle away to reset flash counter and as soon as its reset boot to download mode and flash Official stock EE ROM. No root.

Hi
Im new to Android and got some questions. I ´v been reading but at this point i rather ask.
I got an I9505 Int unbranded model on 4.2.2 (UBMGA) knox free. I would like to try out some roms but be able to revert back to stock for official updates in the future.
I would like to tryout GE of the latest 4.4.2 without knox or locked bootloader is that possible?
Also if its possible to install an official 4.3 TW version without the bloatware?
Just need a push in the right direction.
Thanks

You can start rooting your phone and then flash a Custom recovery such as Philz/TWRP/CWM and flash any 4.3 Rom's (Bloatware) you like and make sure its a knoxfree rom. and about 4.4 kitkat it wont work for us Oldbootloader (NOWIFI) since Samsung did not release any kernel source yet . so be patience . Until they relase the Official. Have a nice day.
And If you wanna go back just flash a 4.2.2 Prerooted BMGA stock > Reset binary > Flash a normal Stock 4.2.2

No. Unless you flash a Knox-free custom ROM, but you can't do it with the official one
Ok guys ..hi there. I am running PAC ROM 4.4.4..ok guys am having an issue ..i originally got this phone (i9500) with 4.4.2 kitkat touchwiz i rooted it and installed twrp 2.6.0.0 and all was well..Then i decided to install the ozcan rom 6.3 ...after flashing the rom...the first boot was stuck on Samsung logo ( and yes i advance wipe my phone several times using the mke2fs format) and this rom is for my model! So i was disappointed... Then i wiped again and tried to restore my backup which also led to a bootloop..soo i had no choice but to flash a next ROM... The rom that worked was 4.2.2 wanam lite (jellybean) ..i got tired of it and went to pac ROM now.i wanted to try the ozcan rom again.. It didn't work! I tried arrow rom..it didn't work ..and these worked for other i9500 users..so am wondering is my recovery outdated and not doing it correctly ? So the main question is WHY CANT I INSTALL A TOUCHWIZ KITKAT ROM??

You could try updating recovery. And maybe try to flash it via Odin (if that's possible)

You may find by search in general section .
Or from the usual stock sources. Samsung-updates or sammobile .Or via google search.
But your Kies backup should have it from when you backed up your original rom.

You are in a Lollipop bootloader, you cannot go back to JB (stock) anymore
You need to root and flash a custom ROM based on JB

Seriously, at this day and age you're better off just sticking with Lollipop.
I know I'm spoon feeding, but I figured what the heck. Here:
Jellybean based ROM
Kit Kat based ROM
I have not tested these ROMs nor am I responsible for what you do with your phone.
Please please PLEASE, DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH
Just whip out the old google, it doesn't take that long.
