If you are having trouble doing the downgrade from Lollipop (5.0.1) to KitKat (4.4.2), like no IMEI (baseband) or directly fails when flashing via Odin, here's the solution (worked for me ):
1) Download the following firmware: www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/40444/I9500UBUGNJ1_I9500UUBGNJ1_ARO
2) Before flashing the firmware via Odin, make a full wipe to the device (works best with a custom recovery, making wipe data/cache, format system, preload, modem, internal sd card, dalvik, etc). This is the custom recovery that i used: www.mega.co.nz/#!PNZHQSRA!CCnUXXAyCX8tpvc6riBI-mfRj0U3peESpchIYGFC_XY
3) After making a full wipe, reboot into download mode and flash the downloaded firmware, it should make the process without problems.
4) When the process completes successfully (Odin says PASS), wait the device to restart till the Samsung logo appears.
5) Do a hard reboot to the recovery mode by pressing Volume up, Home and Power buttons at the same time.
6) Then make a format factory reset, finally reboot normally.
This process has worked for me, making a downgrade from the official update 5.0.1 (SER - Russia) to this official version 4.4.2 (ARO - Argentina).
Hope it works for you too. If it helped, don't forget to hit the thanks button and comment bellow :good:

As you said, you were on 5.0.1 official stock, how did you wipe everything as you mentioned because that can only be done by custom recovery. Did u install custom recovery on 5.0.1?

Yes, I've installed a custom recovery (CWM 6.0.50) to do all those wipes, btw if your warranty void counter is on 0 and you want to keep that, don't install this and proceed doing the common wipes on stock recovery (format data - factory reset/wipe cache), and try then flashing the recommended firmware. As I said, I recommend to wipe ALL through a custom recovery before flashing the firmware, cause my counter was in 1 and through this method i was able to do a succesfull downgrade
I've uploaded the custom recovery that I used to do a full wipe. Install via Odin (only for people with warranty void counter 1, or which don't care losing warranty / set the counter to 1):
www.mega.co.nz/#!PNZHQSRA!CCnUXXAyCX8tpvc6riBI-mfRj0U3peESpchIYGFC_XY
Thanks a lot my friend, i will try. Fingers crossed..hope all goes well.

Have you flashed the recommended ARO firmware or another 4.4.2? One more time, this is recommended to downgrade from the russian 5.0.1, I've tested with this one, I don't know if it will work with the indian version.
But I need to be on Indian version bud!

Let me understand... Were you on the indian/russian 5.0.1 and you want to downgrade to an indian 4.4.2? I think it's no possible, like I said, the only firmware that worked for me was the latest ARO I9500UBUGNJ1 firmware.

modem is for 4,4 firmware
flash using Odin 3.09 and place modem.bin in the CP space in Odin
it may not take first time: see these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2324667 (do not autoboot and flash twice before booting)
this worked for me as per those instructions

Steps should be like this:
1. Start Odin 3.09 on your PC
2. Click CP button and browse for your GSM/LTE .tar file
3. Power phone off completely
4. Enter download mode (press POWER until vibrate, then press the VOL-DOWN button immediately, then VOL-UP to confirm)
5. Connect USB to phone+PC. Odin's ID:COM should then turn blue to show that it's seen the device

Your problem as near as I could tell from your posts was trying to install the new firmware on a 2 API Level old bootloader. Completely different.
[edit] looking back on it, looks like you blindly flashed the CP package on to what looks like KOT9H from your post history, without reading up on how to appropriately flash a mismatched modem.
Tried flashing this using odin but no luck. It wont stick. Any other method?

Please do a search on the forums for modem flashing for the i337m and follow those instructions. If you have trouble, please refrain from flashing the modem.
Unless you know what you are doing, you can cause all sorts of trouble for yourself.
Unless you can learn to do it through quick searches, You likely shouldn't be doing it.

You didn't flash correctly, or enough times.
Wifi Issue
Hey Guys,
I took the 4.4 update from Rogers using Kies as i was getting the custom error.
I took the NC1 Modem file to match my firmware as it didnt update when the OS updated and everything is working properly except for my Wifi which i cannot turn it on.
Now will the NON-HLOS fix this issue for me or will i need to re-install the OS
I tried to do factory reset, used odin to apply the modem file and do another factory reset.
Any ideas would be great.
Thanks.
Hi I am new here as i was reading your post so yes non-hlos will fix ur wifi issue get a proper non-hlos that should match with NC1 MODEM...

Thank you for replying.
I am familiar with baseband flashing though my question was more related to the NON-HLOS partition. I've searched extensively for information about NON-HLOS only to see it labelled as a "WiFi fix" with no additional information. With this lack of information, NON-HLOS compatibility with older bootloaders is certainly not something that has been extensively discussed here or elsewhere.
In any case, I'm still after this information and was wondering if others have any insight.
Just updated to NC1 from MDJ (Bell) and can confirm everything is working great!
Thanks!

I do not wish to overahadow this thread with another issue. Though, for the sake of information:
1. Uncompress the file and change the name of the folder in which you have the recovery files to anything you like.
2. Move that folder to your desktop
3. Now on your phone, enable USB Debugging and Unknown Sources.
4. Connect your device to computer and run the .bat file in the extracted folder on your computer.
5. Press any key when prompted. The phone will reboot into recovery if successful.
6. You Now have CWM based Recovery on phone.
First two steps aren't necessary, but the folder contains special characters that may interfere with ADB. At least it happened in my case, thus the precaution.

the recovery wont mount on my external sd card....
Can I confirm that by following the instructions in post one, do I get recovery in Lollipop?
@pereradileepa does it work on your device? Can you share the screenshot?
As the title says, can the latest 5.1.1 firmware on my European H855 variant be rooted, and if so, does it have any consequences (such as not being able to install future OTA updates)?
Also, if rooting is possible could somebody link me to the appropriate thread/guide foy my H955 please?
H855?
Sorry, H955. Corrected OP.

Works like a charm, after rooting you must disable OTA updates, you can unroot in case of willing to update.

You got right. But i suggest that flashing the updated kdz with lg flash is a little bit safer than unrooting and ota upd. Also after kdz flashing a reset to defaults is recommended and then rooting

If you use the kdz method you lose your "system" and" data"(cse flash)you dont lose files in sdcard , only of you unroot and apply ota you dont lose your data and apps

Installation failed also
keep trying to install spectrum with stock recovery. it might fail a couple times but keep trying. once done then flash colour os WITHOUT wiping data or cache
I have made and decided to share a TWRP flashable Project Spectrum zip that includes TWRP-.3.1.1-0 for spectrum. It is a full spectum rom including bootloader, firmware and TWRP recovery. It can be flashed from either ColorOs TWRP or Spectrum TWRP.
Install Instructions
- Do a full wipe first or the install will fail. (In TWRP hit WIPE then swipe to factory reset.) Do a backup first as you will lose data.
- Flash this zip file through twrp and then hit "wipe dalvic and cache", then hit HOME then REBOOT then RECOVERY. (rebooting to the new recovery will ensure the recovery sticks) then Flash any mods you want (eg. supersu ,magisk, exposed etc) and reboot to system. Enjoy
Return to ColorOs based ROM Instructions (ColorOS Bootloader,firmware and twrp)
- Do a full wipe first or the install will fail. (In TWRP hit WIPE then swipe to factory reset.) Do a backup first as you will lose data.
- Flash this zip file through twrp and then hit "wipe dalvic and cache", then hit HOME then REBOOT then RECOVERY. (rebooting to the new recovery will ensure the recovery sticks) then Flash any TWRP flashable ColorOs based rom or restore any ColorOs based backup. NOTE the Spectum system and boot.img will still be there but wont boot so you MUST flash or restore a ColorOs based rom before you reboot to system.

Yes, but it is a full ROM, including bootloader, all firmware and twrp. Did you read the OP. It says all of this in the description. Make sure you follow ALL the instructions and do the wipes or it will fail. I will be adding more zips to return to ColorOs soon.

No, coloros back ups require coloros bootloader and firmware. When I upload the zip to return to coloros bootloader,firmware and twrp, you can flash it then restore coloros backup.

Has anyone checked that there are any serious errors?

It is the latest released version of Project Spectrum. No real changes except oppos(slight improvement over the 1st release). I have flashed it many times.
Ps I have added the file and instuctions to return to ColorOs in the OP.

There is no ColorOs rom in this thread. I think you need to read the OP again. All files in this thread are twrp flashable, but if you don't understand what they're for you best leave them alone.
I will post a latest full ColorOs ROM in the next few days.

Yep, the rom from tanvir is twrp flashable but I was planning on uploading 1 that includes unlocked bootloader and twrp.
I have been trying to build lineage based on spectrum firmware, that was my reason for making all these zips to swap between spectrum and ColorOs firmwares. Unfortunately it seems that lineage have abandoned plans to switch to spectrum base last night (also f1f support). So we'll see where this ends up. I won't stop trying, but the road ahead looks difficult.
