Hi all... i have a problem with my Galaxy A3 (SM-A300FU) Let me explane and i hope you can help me:
Few months ago i decided to root my SM-A300FU running android 4.4.4 and all worked so i enjoyed my rooted device with no problems...
Then i decided to update my phone to lollipop just to see how it works but when i tried to root lollipop (using cf auto root for a300fu but for 4.4.4 bec for 5.0.2 it doesn't exist) it started the first time but when i rebooted my phone it stopped working, i mean it's stuck on samsung screen, or worst stuck on a strange yellow "sand screen"... so i reinstalled lollipop normally and started to use it without root waiting for a cf auto root for 5.0.2... some days ago i thought that i could downgrade to 4.4.4 and be able to re root my device so i downloaded stock firmware for my a3 from sammobile.com
but when i tried to flash it (always with odin running administrator) it just stuck at samsung loading screen
I can reflash lollipop and all restart working but i can't root 5.0.2 so i want to downgrade to stock 4.4.4 and i can't!
I'm getting crazy on it trying to flash it tons of times but it don't wanna work... I hope you can help me downgrading this phone!
PS: model code: SM-A300FU build version: LRX22G.A300FUXXU1BOEC

well is there a reason to downgrade to 4.4.4 now that you can get root on 5.0.2?
Anyway if you still want to downgrade, head over to Android's Q&A Section since there's no dedicated forum for your device, and ask your question there
I hooe I have helped you!

I have a galaxy s4 SGH-l337 provider is Att. I never rooted/hacked/flashed/done anything to my phone, it's all stock/basic.
Been a few days now after the android version V5.0.1 upstalled itself onto my phone. It's awful I wanted to get the new android version graviton, but before i can i need to root my phone. I haven't had success with using the popular rooting software because they do not support my version. So i am looking to revert back to kitkat and then to graviton. But, before i can revert back to kitkat i need the firmware file, and the place i went to had all but my phones model
Have i hit a dead end until lolipop works with a root program?
Thanks for the time. CraigK

But there is a possibility to brick if it's not properly installed. I dl'ed Rom Manager but cwm/twrp doesn't support the device(Can't install/flash). A msg said it's installed but after booting to recovery still the stock recovery. I'm newbie here and modding android. Please help. Ty

I am trying to figure this out too pls
Although I couldn't find any root methods for my galaxy S5 active I seen something about downgrading it to 4.4.2 to use towelroot. I ran into an internet problem trying to download the firmware, fixed that. Then Odin started having problems before it started downgrading. Is it possible to downgrade? Its running the OF3 bootloader and after doing some research I found some people saying it's locked and impossible to downgrade. So is it possible To downgrade a SM-G870A running the 5.0 lollipop update with the OF3 bootloader? Or is there some kind of root available for it? Or even someway to unlock the bootloader without losing all my data? I've been trying to figure something out for 3 days straight now.
Thanks.

After reading this thread, it seems that you can't downgrade to Kitkat.

This is the Guide you need to read.
If you will follow the steps you won't brick, you'll just need to downgrade and flash the full pb1 firmware (You'll need to factory reset in recovery) then follow the guide to root.

Greetings and welcome to xda, I don't think its possible to install the update while rooted but to fully unroot you have have to flash the stock firmware again first. If you ask your question here

Good Luck
