[Q] Samsung A5 downgrade back to Kitkat 4.4.4 - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
Just upgraded my A5 with the Russian release of Lollipop. Everything went well. Don't know how to root this Lollipop so I want to revert to Kitkat 4.4.4.
Can I use Odin and load kitkat and re flash? I saw some posts on this but just want to make sure it applies to my A5. Or is there a special way of downgrading? Please help. Thanks!

[Q] Downgrade from Brazil Lollipop update.

My device is XT1033 Asian Version
Recently i Flashed Brazillian Kitkat version 4.4.4 then installed Lollipop Brazillian ota update.
So my phone works fine on Lollipop.
Now, im thinking of using custom rom for Lollipop.
I understand that i need to be on XT1032 Kitkat 4.4.2 to be able to flash those roms.
I noticed that many people bricked their device by downgrading.
Just want to be sure, should i re-flash Asian Kitkat 4.4.4 Stock , then flash xt1032 4.4.2 followed by required rom?
How is the process like. I just want to know if there is a way to downgrade successfully without bricking the device ?
thanks.

You may not be able to downgrade to stock 4.4. as samsung sometimes lock the bootloader. There are plenty of guides to root in the a series forums and there are custom roms you could flash through recovery to downgrade
Good Luck
