Hello everyone,
I've been using CyanPop (Marshmallow 6.0) for the last week, and while it's an awesome ROM with no major flaws whatsoever I'd like to downgrade to Lollipop.
Is there some guide on how to do it? I've searched here, on Google and on Reddit but all the results are about downgrading from Lollipop to KitKat, and I don't know if it's safe to do the same things.
Thanks in advance!
I did it yesterday ,wiped everything using twrp copied 5.1 ROM using PC and installed it
Is it that easy? I was expecting something like that guide in the General forum where you need some Windows tools and so.
Well, I won't complain. Thanks!
Downgrading is only a concern when you downgrade stock firmware, not a custom ROM.
With custom ROM's you simply factory reset in recovery and flash the ROM.

You need to make sure you flashed a completely stock image and then the OTA update will come. The stock ROM is not rooted, but yes you can re-root. There is a thread in the NS4G section where a dev is already working on the stock rooted ROM. check it out

I am trying to get to kitkat on this damn phone and it just keeps bricking.
Does anyone know if i need to go through all the updates to get this to work?
maybe if you have a step by step that would be amazing.
Thank you
I assume you have a custom recovery installed, just make sure your recovery manager is up to date as some older versions of CWM will not flash 4.4 and same with TWRP. I used CWM touch v6.0.4.3.

Nope cannot update to cm10.2.0 RC1

There must be an order in which you have to apply updates.
Anyone have any clue on what that order is?

There is no such order. As long as your bootloader is unlocked and you are running an updated recovery you should be able to flash seamlessly between any ROM.
What 4.0.4 ROM are you currently running? And are you sure you're on the most recent CWM?
I think your firmware must be up to date as well. I can't remember what the latest is off the top of my head. I'll check.

VRBMF1 is the firmware you should be on.
Check that in the "about phone" section.

I was able to get it to work. Issue was cwm touch version.
Up and running on cm11 now
Is this possible yet? I'm running CWM. Can I just drop the zip in my sd and flash as usual?
Thanks.

Awesome, thanks for the reply.
I'm on a CM13 based ROM and I hear you can't downgrade from it. So my stock lollipop backups are useless now, is that correct ?

CM 13 is android M based. You can freely try flashing other android M based ROMs without gong back to stock.

I see no reason why your backup would not work. You cannot trust everything people say on XDA.

Alright, well I might flash stock back soon. But thanks for your replies
I asked in the MOAR q&a thread but realized it's a generic question that does not generally pertain to the ROM. After the new stock update Odin is useless to flash any thing because it blocks any flashing at the bootloader. Is there any way to go stock if I haven't backed up anything? I'm currently running on the new update base and have MOAR speed racer flashed. Thank you for any help
Any fixes yet same thing I just ran into. I haven't used stock in so long I had no idea you couldn't go back

What version are you on now? As of PK1 firmware, you cannot flash back to a previous version, you would need PK1 or newer to go back to stock.

TWRP is for custom rom only.
Stock tar has to be flashed with odin.
Thanks for the advice/help......................btw, forgot where I found the PK1 link, can you help me to find it?
