Hey guys!
I recently updated to 5.0.3 by OTA and Rooted my phone.
But I do regret that, there's many things dont work on Lollipop (I miss you xposed).
So, i thought downgrade to 4.4.4, but theres so many people saying I will brick my phone or the downgrade will not work correctly, so I want to flash CM11 on my phone.
The question is: Will my phone work fine? or I will get the same risk than downgrading to 4.4.4?
Anyone already did that?
Thanks.

hey guys, so im sure many have tried to put cyanogenmod on a VZW Samsung Galaxy s III with 4.4.2 OTA on it. but couldnt. im really looking to put CM11 on it. im very much so new to rooting, and flashing roms, but i already rooted my device, and flashed the stock firmware back, due to not having a CWM back up and getting "system software not authorized by verizon" warning.
so my question.
can i downgrade my firmware from 4.4 to earlier to have an unlocked bootloader without bricking it? do i need to go to 4.3 and then 4.1.2?
because before 4.3 it had an unlocked bootloader.
I really want CM because i cant stand touchwiz anymore. thanks guys . help a newb out
oh and. should i use towel root? or another rooting method
Your now on the locked bootloader and you cannot downgrade to another firmware. You can root with towelroot but that's truly about all you can do
From my CM11 S3
I got the phone very recently, been using a rooted Sony Walkman Live for years, so I am kinda habituated to rooted devices. But, I bricked the HTC trying to root it (probably wiped system by mistake when trying to fix the root, it was showing no os installed). Now thanks to the master thread of RUU,TWRP,OTA I got the phone working, but had to downgrade it to android 4.4.2 using TWRP backup. The root wasn't working on lollipop but seem to be working fine now and all, but I want to upgrade to lollipop. What's the best way to do it because I can't risk bricking the phone again. So a detailed direction is welcomed. Thank you all
Hi guys, I recently flashed 5.1.1 on my device, (foolishly) thinking that it would get rid of the RAM problem. Unfortunately, it hasn't and I am getting to the end of my tether of all my apps constantly crashing/reloading..
My question today is that is there any possible way I can downgrade or root my 5.1.1 device?
I have checked all the forums and have read through as much as I could, trying to make sense of it all.
I thought I found a solution in Unikeranl, but the problem is, I don't understand what it actually does, as it states that it can root 5.1.1 roms, but for it to work you need to have TWRP which I can't get on my stock device, am I missing something or is there a way for this to work?
Hello, due to me having to replace a broken S6 that was running 5.0.2, my new phone was running 5.1.1 by default. When Android M came out, I decided to go ahead and upgrade, hoping for an exploit. However, this hasn't seemed to happen yet. So my question is, since 5.0.2 is the only OS version I know of that can be rooted for my device, is there a way I can downgrade from M to that version? Or is there any other way I can have a rooted phone? I am by no means an expert with this stuff, but any help would be IMMENSELY appreciated.
Unfortunately, no and no. The consensus seems to be that a new root method is unlikely to be found.

Attempting to downgrade at this point will render the phone useless until you flash the version you are on or higher through Odin.
Hi guys!
I rooted my S7 (SM-G930F [EU-Exynos]) when i first bought it (1 month after release), i rooted it and installed Xposed.
This was a long time ago, but now my phone is begging me once a day to update (which i cant because it is rooted and i want to keep it that way) and this is annoying me.
Now i read alot of threads about installing 7.0 and rooting it but i have not seen a guide to update a already rooted phone (without loosing data) to 7.0.
May someone be able to help me? I dont want to just flash 7.0 and setup my phone from scratch, just update.
And what about Xposed? Is it going to make trouble if i update? Do i have to update Xposed aswell?
Thanks in advanced!
Xposed doesn't support Nougat / 7.0 yet. If you upgrade to 7.0 you will lose Xposed entirely.
I may very well be wrong, but I don't think you can upgrade to 7.0 without doing a full wipe.
