Any luck downgrading from 5.0.1 back to kitkat 4.4.4??

Is there someone managed to do it. I already read a lot of post regarding downgrading to 4.4.4, some says theres no chance to downgrade if you upgraded OTA but some managed to downgrade. So can really downgrade back to 4.4.4?? I'm really confused right now. Lollipop on my device has a lot of issues. Battery drains much faster even on idle mode it sucks up my battery. Game run much lagger than before. Already did factory wipe and clear cache 3x. I never experienced this when i was on Kitkat 4.4.4 and i really want to downgrade.. many of the user who tried to downgrade (Note Edge) have their phone soft bricked due to bootloader or something..

So is there a possibility that i can downgrade back to 4.4.4?? Thanks!

How To: Switch back to Android KitKat to get awesome storage space again.

Hi Friends,

I was extremely annoyed with Lollipop Upgrade as I didnt had enough storage space after the upgrade.. Removing system apps also didn't help. I was looking for some KitKat Roms and I found this.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/desi...1-0-0-t2953661

This is one of the best KitKat Roms available and works amazing on my Device. (Dual Sim Version)

FYI: This is NOT MY CREATION and I would like to give 100% Credit to the Author.

Hope this Helps :)

My Note 4 Mobile Data is slow on Official Lollipop and Kitkat But fast on custom Rom

I just bought a second hand Tmobile Note 4.

- I have problems with mobile data, including browsing, play store... actually everything. It's kinda slow and stuck to load the contents and the 4G/3G signals itself is not stable
- Wifi connection is very fast.
- I Downgrade to Kitkat, the problem is the same.

Then I try CMRemix Rom and everything turns out to be fast as it should.

Anyone knows what caused slow mobile data , I believe there something to do with modem or software conflict.
I don't wanna use custom rom because I can not use spen with it.

Please let me know if you have same problem and how to solve it.

Thanks

[Q] What KitKat can you suggest to me ?

Hello :)

I have an D855 with TWRP, Cloudy 2.5 & Gabriel kernel install on my phone and the kitkat bootloader for not necessary have TWRP bumped.

I would like to know what is the last KitKat ROMs (AOSP/based stock/AOKP) and if its possible, know what is the last modem that i can install on KK ROM..

Why i want to downgrade android version ? I have test all needed fonctionality that i want and i think LP is pretty bad (its my opinion..), and i have a secondary question: about the battery life on KK, its really better (with any ROM) on LP or its depend of the kernel & ROM (KK or LP) ?

Thanks.

[Q] Upgrade from KitKat to Lollipop or Root First?

Hating Sammy atm. I'm getting the notice to update once an hour now. I don't want to update because I'm still testing the phone and want to root KK. Still in my return period but don't want to. Just want the update issue resolved.

Questions/info, etc.
1. Solved.
2. I want to root, but prefer rooting KK, not LP because I like the idea of being able to downgrade later if I really hate LP, and I'm hearing a lot of bad stuff about LP.
3. Not rooting until I'm sure I'm keeping this baby - i.e. no other issues, etc. Samsung can bite me!
4. What would you do?
5. I have previously rooted four devices, but am a beginner at best.
6. If anything goes wrong with root I am really screwed because I don't want a Note 5.
7. I trust the long-term, knowledgeable xda guys so that's who I'm really asking.
8. I don't want a rom, only root and twerp or cwm at some point, but not yet.
9. I would tend to use CF auto-root since it worked for me on the Note 3.
10. I can do a factory reset, but just got it all set up yesterday.
11. Which root and why?
12. Will I be able to downgrade if I update to LP or would I be better off waiting and dealing with the update notice?

I'm on KitKat 4.4.4 and everything is smooth with zero issues.
Pertinent info:

Sprint Carrier
Software version - KTU84P.N910PVP1ANK2
Hardware version - N910P.05

Thanks in advance. You guys rock and you know it!

samsung s5 G900A 4.4.2 (kitkat) root help

Ok so i have looked for almost 2 whole days for answers before finally making an account here (and stop being a lurker for some time). I have a samsung galaxy s5 with 4.4.2 (kitkat) OS, model G900A (that means from ATT) and the kernel was made in jul 22, 13:58, 2014. which means i cant use towelroot for whatever reason. my sim card is metroPCS though and i have no warranty so all i care about is not bricking my phone without a way to get it back, cus i dont have another 400 to drop on a phone. i have rooted a phone before so i know alittle about this stuff but im not an expert. through reading it seems i have to flash my kernel with an old version and root it, then bring it back to normal. the closest i ever got to actually doing this was with the help of this site " w0lfdroid(dot)com/2014/09/TowelRoot-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-S5-and-Note3-Android-4.4.2-NF-or-Later.html ". problem is the file that is for the ROOT link for the G900A does not work so i need either a new link or a new way to root. i figured this would be the fastest way to get that.

even though i do have a bit of knowledge i see that others dont so if someone dose decide to help me i would like a good step by step process explaining things that a normal person just walking into this wouldnt get. because not everyone looks up their stuff and thats not their fault its alot of research just to take of bloat ware potentially.

thank you in advace

Cannot downgrade to KitKat

Hello, I have a Nexus 7 2013 and I love it. One of the main reasons I got this tablet is because it is a flagship Google device and it could run custom ROMs well. I want to throw Kali Pwn pad on it. When I flashed Kali, it looked like it flash successfully, but when it started it would just hang on the Google screen. Since KitKat was the latest edition of KitKat when pwnpad was launched, I decided I should try to flash stock KitKat and see what happens, it appeared like it flashed right, but when my tablet started it would still hang on the Google logo. I also tried to flash CM 11, and still the same thing happened. Every ROM I flash that is based on 4.4 hangs on the Google logo. The farthest I am able to downgrade is Android 5.0.0. My tablet came with 5.0.1 out of the box. I am currently running CM 12.1-20150814 Nightly. Another note, the only recovery I can get working TWRP MultiRom, the other verisions of TWRP (along with CWM) cant mount anything. My goal here is to get either Pwnpad or Nethunter (Nethunter would just hang on the Nexus animation, but I don't think I had enough patience that evening to let it run) installed.

Thank you for your help
