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!

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.

Thanks for using XDA Assist.
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.

Is there any way i can downgrade from 6.0.1 to 5.0.1?
I'm using the latest update from SmartSwich The PH1
i want to root my device pls if someone knows
Hate to be the bearer of bad news but there is no way to downgrade from 6.0.1 to 5.0.1 and no root for this device on 6.0.1 at this time.
Do a search next time, it's been asked over and over
THERE IS NO WAY TO DOWNGRADE TO 5.0.1 ONCE YOU GO PASS THAT.
VERIZON ****ING DOES NOT GIVE A **** ABOUT YOU OWNING THAT PHONE.
So please file a fcc complaint.
So just to make sure I'm understanding things... If I find an S6 on eBay that's still on Lollipop, there's hope to root it?
Sorry if my topic is a lil weird...but I recently updated to official 7.0 via ota,but now I learnt that root can't b done on this OS build at the moment, I really need root..so I figured I downgrade to an os I can root and do so then flash a custom ROM with a newer OS..
So my question is...what OS build do I downgrade to, and how?
Plz help guys

You should be able to downgrade and obtain root but I don't think you will be able to flash a custom ROM.
