Yes flashing 5.0.1 will work. You can flash any factory image you want

Ask yourself, why do you think there might be a different procedure from one image to the next?
On the download page there are multiple images for multiple devices and only one set of instructions for all of them.

Thanks
well i knew in my mind its the same but still had a little bit doubt because i messed my phone once. so i just wanna be 100 % sure....
Thanks a lot guys...

All my old devices, I burner only root without changing versions or boot device ..

Well, when you downgrade just exclude data, you will get FC's but that just whilst you are on the lower firmware, once you root, install recovery and flash a pre-rooted zip (Again, exclude data) you will be fine.
Or (For the third time) look in the general section to see how to root lollipop

Samsung Firmware: I9505XXUHPK2 (BTU) now available for download

Hi,
Today my i9505 (stock) notified of an update available for download (392.94 mb OTA)
Would updating make my S4 difficult to flash? currently on I9505XXUHOJ2 could not find any information on what's new/changed in the update.
Also is the OTA update ok or do I need to update using the Odin method as the below linked site suggests & so do most of the past firmware update posts on xda?
Smart Switch says the file size is 1458 mb
I dont mind following either way to update my S4.
Ref: samsung-firmware.org
Thanks!

oh boy, it is still 5.0.1
not shure if I go to try this, the last one has a bug on my phone, don´t know, it was maybe the settings and back button bug.
but also 5.0.1 is maybe to outdated?

Anyway, I have downgraded my stock rom to Jelly Beam (via sammobile.com). After this, I can easily handled the root and the custom rom install processes (resurrection remix).

Do the MM update by downloading from Sammobile.
Don't screw around with OTA updates. . . . too much chance of an error.

It seems your phone is a little different due to the bootloader.
I did find this though:

Do a little research on the web and on this board.
You'll probably find some good answers.
