No it is not possible, they use different bootloader and modems. But there are 5.0 custom roms that will work (alliance Rom when released) , if you want a 5.0 factory Rom you will have to wait until it is released to our w8 model.

I don't use any cm style roms so I can't say, tw is what I like, judging from how many people switch back to 4.4.2 after trying 5.0, I am going to wait for alliance Rom to customize 5.0 so that I have a good chance of staying with it. If you haven't tried alliance 5.6 yet, I would give it a try till 5.0 is released, it is a great Rom with a huge amount of customizations.

You are little confused. When you install Custom Rom always can go back, is not the same when you upgrade from official firmware that have new bootloader.

flashing a stock rom is optional. If you just want to go back to 4.4.2 roms, just select a custom rom and flash it

Click on my signature and follow the instructions, just substitute the correct version of KitKat for your device. You find the right KK OS at sammobile the links for everything are in my instructions. The procedure is the same just the KK OS is different. Enjoy !!!
does the firmware of different country make any difference???
Well it sure does

It could impact few bugs show or not, for example i flashed official UK version even if my country is far from there because kit kat was kinda most stable as UK version when i wanted to upgrade from 4.3. As far as lolipop is concerned it should use less ram than KK. You should give a try to some custom rom as you can find it even more stable than the official one. I personaly used X note as a official rom without triping knox. After i tripped knox i cant settle with 1 rom for about a year i think...
Isn't L more efficient?
I honestly thought that Lollipop was supposed to be more efficient.
Why would it be taking more RAM?
On that note, will anyone recommend a better aftermarket ROM with S-pen capabilities in 2015 for 900W8 version at least?

First: What is "buggy" for you? Without this information we can't give you a proper answer ... therefore which modell? I9500, i9505 or i9515??
Official firmware is generally the most stable.
The GPE roms are also very stable and don't have bugs. For me atleast.
Oh I forgot... 9505 ... im reffering as a buggy or a glitchy rom , the ones who are laggy have problems with wifi camera or calling... u know the usual... do we know the release date of the official lollipop rom?
Official Lollipop for the I9505 is already available and currently being rolled out, you can look up for the firmware in sammobile and samsung-updates websites.

There are stocks roms but all on 4.4.4 android version,there are not for the moment custom roms and there aren´t at this moment lollipop custom roms,neither stock of this version. But is normal,the phone is from 2014 finals,and even on some more famous phones there isn´t still lollipop stock version.

Want to go back from N900 CM12.1 to StockRom

Want to go back from N900 with CM12.1
Hello guys,
Iv'e been using the CyanogenMod12.1 on my Note3 N900 a whole year already and I regret every day for installing the Cm12.1
It's rooted of course with the CWM revovery.
I need your help guys, I just want to go back to the stock rom of Note 3 with Lolipop and I am failing to install the rom all over.
I am trying to flash the stock frimware via odin and it fails every dam time + my device goes soft brick which means that I need to install again the CWM recovery+ cm12.1 rom every time I fail.
I tried to look for some rooted stock roms for my n900 and I found nothing. My model is crap and not popular at all (cause its crap of a model).
Why I want to go back?
well, back then I didnt like the TouchWizz so much, I thought that it is to slow and to heavy for my system. so I wanted a clean android but I didnt like it.
It didnt fell good, every time I use my device I fell like my Note 3 got lost in a crappy OS or Rom. CM12.1 is boring and feels like death when I am traveling through the settings, drawers etc... + CM12.1 on note 3 has plenty of bugs, the battery sometime wont charge and dies fast, device getting hot toooooo fast and it killed me!!
on "TouchWizz" it felt more "alive" and more "colorful" for me. Maybe you will understand me or not, but the point is that I dont like CM12
Any help fellas?
The point is you need to find the proper TW ROM for your phone. I mean what country's model is that? Try to search for the same country's ROM on sammobile.com, and it should work via Odin. I don't have the Exynos model, so can't really say.
And about your opinion on CM, I can't agree more

Thanks for your reply. I purchased the phone with a Taiwan rom. So I need to download and flash the Taiwanian stock frimware?
And thanks for that you agree with me on CM.
anyone? up
Umm, again, can't be sure about Exynos models and their firmwares, but on Snapdragon you can flash almost any firmware as long as you have an unlocked N9005, so I am just guessing that N900 is also same. But if you find matching ROM then its preferable to download and flash that, unless its hovering at some very older based firmware.
So ur model is N900? I found alot of custom TW roms on exynox thread.
You want TW, you can try Darklord.
My country, Vietnam, using N900 alot. And they build plenty of roms for Note 3, ultra fast and stable.
You can go to samsungviet.com if im not wrong to search. If you cant, i can give you link to download.
The problem you have with CM12.1 is kernel. Try to find good kernel for your device.
Im using temasek cm12.1, and my device is N900W8 because i live in Canada. All i need is using other kernel for this rom. Everything work like a charm except battery life. Not as good as TW base rom. I think because of kernel too, but acceptable. Using CM cause TW not support multi dpi, i used to use 320-340, original 480 is too big for me.
