Hi, Is it possible to go back to 4.4.4 from 6.0.1?
i think its possible , with cm11s. just try it, and let us know ! dont forget to backup , just incase
its CM13 back to CM11. Which software should I use. Read a lot of topics but, which one is for my phone?
I think you'll have to download 44s firmware and install it before you proceed with the rom.

You can! There are multiple way to do it:
First of all, you have the option to dual boot your phone with 4.4.4 using multirom or EFIdroid (not sure about EFIdroid)
You can just flash the full 4.4.4 zip as secondary rom, however! you NEED to flash the 4.4.4 modem in order to make the proximity sensor to work.
You can also just flash 4.4.4 as main ROM without using multirom or EFIdroid, make sure you wipe all the partitions first, then flash the full rom.
There is also the QHS_Bulk way.
First restore your phone using the color.zip in this guide.
When on color os (the chinese 4.4.4) you can fastboot flash the cm11s rom over it (step 4 in the guide, but make sure you use the cm11s rom).
Have fun!
You can but you need to flash KitKat firmware for oneplus one, also you need to find a compatible recovery menu to flash the ROM and firmware. Be sure to keep a backup of anything goes wrong
try this https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/how-to-back-to-stock-repair-system.225170/#post-8737053 , it might help.
Thanks all for the replies. I am a complete noob at this.
So what do I need to do exactly. I know my mums phone still has 4.4.4. so it is possible.
I have backup everything now so not afraid to lose any data anymore.

1. unlock bootloader
2. install twrp
3. flash new rom
Possible, but stupid idea.
You can just flash stock COS from fastboot
Choose what you want, I suggest the glorious 44s

PS
That ROM was the most stable with KK back in the days, but on some devices it needs a custom kernel to fix ghost touches.

By the way I am in twrp but, when I try flashing CM11 it says:

How to install twrp?
Oneplus CS has flashed mine back to 5.0.1 android with CM13. If I flash back 44S Will the android version go back aswell?
Thanks all got it reflashed to Kitkat and done now. Was stuck at step 4,5 and 6 while I only need 7,8 and 9.

I used to have sony devices so i new how to flash roms on such phones pretty well. Now i moved to nexus 5. I need somebody to help me install twrp recovery and a good kernel (i found elementalx) for lollipop. Also i got a question.. If i get bored or need the warranty in order to get back to full stock will i just have to flash the factory image with the instructions google give us? Also if i flash the custom recovery will i have to reflash the rom?(by unlocking bootloader do i lose my data?

Hi! My question is lame, i know.. But here it goes anyway, i couldn't find a simple and direct answer..
Is less than a week that i have this phone, and i've been reading a lot of guides of how to rollback to cm11s.. the thing is i've flashed the latest CM12S signed zip ota through CM Recovery, everything is fine as i'm testing it right now..
My question is: if i want to go back to CM11S (in the case that i don't like CM12S or have some bugs), can i just wipe data / factory reset and cache in CM Recovery, and then flash the cm11s signed zip?
I haven't rooted or unlocked bootloader, is it relatively easy from what i read around here.. but i wondered if i had to go through all those steps (unlock bootloader, custom recovery, and then flash) or just doing the steps mentioned before will work just fine..
Is it better to fastboot flash or through custom recovery is fine also?
Thanks in advance!
PD: I'm also asking what do you think about some other 5.1.1 Lollipop ROM, custom kernel, etc.. I'm kind of a flashaholic and i would be able to install the custom recovery if would be really worth it
PD2: sorry for the bad english, i'm from argentina

Just unlock your bootloader now, the longer you leave it the more difficult it'll be to backup your internal storage beforehand. You should really have it unlocked anyway as insurance against anything going wrong with your phone. Once you have unlocked it you can flash TWRP recovery, then the correct procedure to go back to CM11S would be to perform a full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik cache) and then just flash the zip. As far as custom ROMs for this device go, there are many excellent options to choose from that offer extra customisation that you won't find on the stock ROM.
Don't we have to flash the firmware prior to flashing back to CM11s to prevent a hardbrick? I'm looking into doing this as well, so I'm just asking for my own clarity.

Once you've flashed the ROM, please do share your results. I am still unsure if reverting from a Lollipop ROM to CM11S will cause issues with the radio and/or a softbrick of the device, as I've read that this "can" happen.

Reverting from Lollipop to KitKat won't brick your device, whoever said that is wrong, and would have caused a brick because they didn't know what they were doing. You do need to make sure you flash a KitKat modem though, otherwise you'll have issues with the prox sensor.

few month ago i rooted my nexus5 and installed a custom rom (pure nexus), everything was OK. but today i tried to install the last version of "pure nexus", so i downloaded the zip file, pushed it on the device, launched a flash zip with nexus root toolkit (everything was ok on the screen) but then it restart, and get stuck during the boot (4 small circle rotating...)
maybe i've done something wrong? how can i fix it?

Hi!
Congratulations, this is your first bootloop. Nothing to worry about. I guess your problem is due to the fact that you were coming from a lollipop based custom rom. Before you install a marshmallow based custom rom you need to install the marshmallow factory image first. If you're using the nexus root toolkit you can always click on the magic "flash stock - unroot" button. This is the easiest way for you.
My suggestion is to flash the factory image manually with ADB. In this way you'll know the basics of modding and it will be very useful for you in future. If you want you can follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701

Yes, that's what "dirty flash" means. It is possible as long as the update doesn't concern an android version. An example is your case: lollipop-->marshmallow.
In facts custom roms (differently from factory images) do not provide boot.img in their zips; they assume you already have installed in your device. The lack of the correct boot.img caused your bootloop

2. Just reboot TWRP once and choose Restore and then choose this: athene_93-14_boot
3. Swipe to restore.

For OTA updates to work, you'd need a stock recovery on your device too; TWRP is a no go. Once you've restored your TWRP backup of your Nougat stock ROM (which hopefully may have the stock boot still), you can flash the stock recovery linked here https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/how-to-ota-rooting-nougat-npj-25-93-14-t3601747
I imagine the easiest option is to flash the recovery in fastboot (same as you did with TWRP) using 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img', then rebooting into recovery.
I think, though I've not tried it with a stock recovery, that you should be able to flash the recovery image in TWRP:
tap Install in the TWRP menu
Select 'install image's
Find your stock recovery image and select
Choose recovery as the image type
Flash and reboot to recovery.
Then, provided your system has a stock kernel, no modifications to your system and a stock recovery (bootloader doesn't matter), you should be able to update via OTA.
@echo92 Thanks for detailed guide.
I had flashed SuperSU on Nougat stock ROM, so stock boot might be affected. Am I right?
In short, I want to sell the device, so I want to return to stock.

Shouldn't create any such issues. Anyways, you can make an entire backup of the fsg and other partitions in twrp.
Yes, your data will be wiped though.

No Nougat modem is available until the flashable (non OTA) full stock 7.0 rom is made available from Motorola. This is not likely to happen. No issues have been mentioned running this update on a 6.0 modem. Not sure what the advantages are honestly. I never had problems with bt, wifi, or calls with the 6.0 modem firmware.
Create a backup beforehand and you can always go back to it.

This is not a traditional TWRP zip file. It is a backup file. You need to unzip it and put it in the backup directory. You then restore backup, choose the nph25-200-22. . . directory, and away you go!

Well it worked, sort of. It booted to stock but it wasn't stable and the play store kept crashing, I tried all the usual stuff for that, clear services & play store data, uninstall updates, finally tried a factory reset and now I'm stuck in TWRP bootloop, even if I reinstall this image.
So very much YMMV.
