[I9505] Downgrade from 5.0 Lollipop to 4.4.2 KitKat

If you don't like or you have problems with the new version of Android for Galaxy S4 (I9505), you can downgrade even if you flashed the new BL from Lollipop I9505XXUHOA7.
Instructions:
1. Flash this firmware into AP, untick Auto reboot
2. When pass in Odin, unplug cable, shut down Phone and restart directly into download mode
3. Reset Odin, put GNK2 Bootloader into BL and GNK2 Modem into CP, tick Auto reboot
4. When Phone restart (on Samsung logo) , shut down Phone and restart into recovery
5. Wipe factory reset, wipe cache partition, reboot.
Tested by me, and it works, no problems.
Download Links:
1. AP: Download
2. BL GNK2: Download
3. Modem GNK2: Download
MIRRORS:
1. Mirror MEGA - AP
2. Mirror MEGA - BL
3. Mirror MEGA -MODEM
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF ANYTHING HAPPENS WITH YOUR PHONE! DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!
I DO NOT KNOW IF THE KNOX WILL BE 0x1 AFTER THAT. I HAVE FLASHED THIS ON MY PHONE, BUT IT WAS ALREADY 0x1.

I suggest install this AP, and the other two files and then download every KitKat version you want!

What about repartition??

I've flashed .PIT too on Lollipop, but for downgrade I didn't flash any .PIT, and I don't have problems!

Sincere Thanks!!
Hi!
Just wanted to say thank you for this guide - I'd flashed the Lollipop leaked ROM and I couldn't get WIFI to switch on, so was kinda stuck.
This has enabled me to go back to basics!
Thanks

I strongly presumed that these files are from phonandroid.com (Repack XEF)
You could at least give the origin of the tutorial.
Cheers!

You can downgrade to 4.4.2 anytime, even if you used the Bootloader upgrade!

Yes it's the official one.
Should be rootable using jrkruse's method.

I have the T-Mobile firmware and Verizon 6.0 CSC installed. Can I just flash the CSC file from this firmware?

If you already have it running why reflash it?

I was having fewer bars in the t mob rom. Installing the entire Verizon stock gives one more bar, but no Samsung cloud

I don't have the link, but if you search XDA for "odin prince comsy" you should be able to find it.

It's alive...it's alive I tell you
It could have been a number of things that prevented me from flashing on Odin but I will just tell you what I did to get Odin to work. First I went back to an older version of Odin 3.10 Then I downloaded another copy of Nougat 7.1 update firmware from updato, download took over 6 hours to complete (just slow) . I then started Odin as administrator and I must confess I might have miss this step. [emoji10] Anyway firmware flashed without any failures. I have my phone back running 7.1 Nougat. And I can tell you this since update phone is more responsive , no lag at all.

Thank you so much for your help!i already downloaded a firmware update to android 10 for sm g965U but i don't know why but the network seems very slow, maybe it's because I am in Madagascar my country. That's why i want to try the global one sm-965U1... that's why I asked if someone could help me upload sm g965u1 rom on mega or androidfilehost because everything else that i tried failed(googledrive, sammobile, frija,samfirm...). In my country only mega and androidfilehost are good for downloading.
