Dear Moderators....
This is a question AS WELL AS a information thread. My plan is to gather the information from posters then combine it all into a neat bundle and have it here for our readers to help. Not sure if that is ik. Please let me know.
Dear Members....
Could someone please confirm 100% that after flashing NL8 Boot and Modem that it is infact possible to revert back to 4.4 at will. Please only confirm if you have done this yourself. If you succeeded or failed please let us know either way and also please include your model number and wether you just restored a previous backup or flat out reflashed the 4.4 boot and modem to revert. Also please include links to the modems and boot you flashed upto or back to if youbare able to. If there was any other crucial information please include as well so we can have a very informative thread for knowledge here.I feel this information is very crucial to people and i think it would be helpful.
I wanted to create a thread to keep updated with success and failures as well as the method that seems to work best and fail worst.

Flashed 5.0 along with the bootloader, went back to 4.4.2 without any issues.
Me too, flashed everything: bootloader, modem, etc... went back to 4.4.2 without any problems (N9005XXUGNI4)
Did you all flashed your old pit file when you reverted back to 4.4.2 or just flashed the rom? Thanks
How do you flash back 4.4.2 ? Using stock firmware and ODIN ?

No, i did not make a backup PIT file. Flashed PIT for Lolipop, did not use any PIT for reverting to Kitkat.
Updated lollipop with BL, PIT then go back to 4.4.2 (GNG1) with no problems.
Thanks everybody...did you see if knox is still 0x0 ?
Odin flash back to GNG1 (DBT) did not work at first (size fail). So I flashed with PIT file which was ok. Knox still 0x0.

Flashed only boot and modem, flashed several Lollipop ROMs, got back to a KitKat backup I had withTWRP 2.8.3.0 restoring everything but the EFS and the modem.
No issues so far, though the phone needed a couple of minutes to get mobile data properly, after that - no issues turning it on and off in matter of seconds.

which pit file you used? the one which you used to flash lollipop or KK one
If possible please include the files you used when you tell of your process. If you could provide you model number as well it would provide very useful. Thank you.
can i get some help on reverting back to 4.4.2 please.
ive flashed all the files for 5.0 and not backed up my pit file.
ive tried flashing 4.4.2 firmware ( no signal, null imei, lots of fc's
ive tried flashing 4.4.2 firmwae with kitkat pit, result( same as above )
UPDATE, ive managed to downgrade to 4.4.2,
i downloaded another firmware from sam ( btu ) flashed in odin and it worked perfect, no fc's or anything.
Did you flash also bootloader or Just The firmware ?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
just the firmware file, make sure you do a wipe data before you flash tho
Someone can provide me a post with all the bootloaders? I only flashed a 4.4 modem and i have a signal problem
do you have an imei? or is it null?
Hi, so I am on a Galaxy S5 16gb running lollipop 5.0 through sprint. Im not too in this scene but Ive known enough to successfully root and unroot several other phones without.any problems. I successfully rooted my S5 using Cf auto root and everything was perfect until I tried flashing a .zip file for xposed installer through recovery. Ever since my phone wont go.past the samsung logo on start up. I am able to still access download and recovery mode. Every time on odin I try to flash the stock firmware (ive tried three.different ones) it ends up saying " nand write start fail" then "complete write operation failed". This is stressimg me out hardcore and im completely unsure of what I need to do. Much help needed.

Did you try to install another ROM,it might work out,there are many other ROMs with marshmallow,you should try that or if it doesn't work then use adb to flash a rom

Verizon devices with newer firmware than 4.3 and up have a locked bootloader, you can't flash TWRP or custom ROMs and you can't unlock the bootloader, you also can't downgrade to an older version with unlocked bootloader. You're stuck with locked bootloader, anything you try to get around it will only brick your device.
If you can get to download mode, flash your stock firmware in Odin.
If that doesn't work you may need to use an unbrick.img to boot from sdcard to fix the device.
Or you may need to send it in for a JTAG service.

Read my post that you quoted again and pay attention to the details and you'll get your answer. If you had paid attention to exactly what I posted then you wouldn't be asking that question.

Sorry about that, could you elaborate more on my options? What do you mean by flash my stock firmware in Odin (sorry if thats sounds stupid i dont know about this) And what unbrick.img?

You just said you flashed your device with Odin, why are you asking about how to flash your stock firmware, that's what you already did isn't it?
As for the unbrick.img, you need an unbrick.img pulled from a working device with your model number and your same stock android version (4.4.2), then there is a method for using that unbrick.img to boot from sdcard.
This information is here at XDA in the Verizon S3 forum if you take the time to look.
If you don't have sense enough to research your device model before you flash anything custom or if you don't know what you're doing and how to fix things when they go wrong then you should leave your device alone because flying by the seat of your pants and just assuming you can flash whatever you want is only going to cost you a lot of money in the end. You're lucky you didn't hard brick your device, that can't be fixed even by Samsung, if you had done your research you would know that. I suggest you stop where you are and start reading everything you can about the Verizon S3 i535 and what you can and can't do with it.

Here, these are the stock firmwares for Galaxy Tab GT-P100, is this your device? Download the firmware for your country/mobile carrier then flash it via Odin. At the bottom of the page, you'll see additional links to various regions/countries. Click the region you need in that list, it will take you to other pages there for your model number, it might list other firmwares for your device that aren't in the list from the link below.
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-tab/GT-P1000/
Create a free account there, when you choose the file to download, choose the "free download", it's not as fast as other downloads, just be patient and let it download. It's where I always get firmwares for my Samsung devices and I never paid for a download from there.
Here are more firmwares from different regions.
