Downgrading - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible to downgrade a s6 to 5.1.1 with any stock rom or do you need a specific one?
By that I mean if it is possible to take a random rom for G920F without manage to brick the device.

You can flash a custom rom based on 5.1.1 but not stock

[Q] Rooting with Custom Rom or Rooting the stock rom, which one is better ?

i FINALLY tried to root my s duos just after the purchase. I had rooted with custom recovery.tar file. It worked and was amazing.
Though i am worried about if i install a custom rom is it worth ? because i can root the stock and probably customize it.
I want to know whether :
1). Rooting Stock ROM is better ?
2). Installing Custom ROM poses potential danger to phone though is it better than rooting stock ?
My Device is Samsung Galaxy S Duos (GT-S7562)
Firmware: Samsung Official
Android Version : 4.0.4
Baseband: S7562DDLH5
This is my first Thread in Q&As
Thank You

Rooting Stock is much better
You can uninstall bloatwares manually , and you can also change system apps (modify and reinstall )
And there may be some apps which you like in stock but are not in custom rom
Its better
Yea its better

S6 Edge+ just got lollipop in Canada. I have an S6. Can I flash the firmware?

I know that for roms, you can install custom roms meant for S6 Edge, etc. on the S6. Does that work for firmware aswell? The only reason I want to flash the new lollipop firmware is to have the lollipop bootloader and install the new Xtrestolite.
So basically my question is can I flash the lollipop firmware for S6 Edge+ on 5.1.1 S6?
Try it out. The worst that'll happen is it'll fail and you'll just have to flash back the stock ROM
