Moto G xt1032 CM12.1 Downgrade

Hello!

Because I was not sure what is right procedure first I've downgraded moto G from CM12.1 to stock 4.4.4 rom using mfastboot, and then installed 5.0.2. stock rom via mfastboot, and now I'm stuck at warning bootloader unlocked. So if some one can help what to do to get rid of that logo and install stock rom on my moto G.

Thnx.

Downgrade 7840 to KitKat?

Seems that with every "update" my 7840 gets slower and slower. The latest 5.1 has made things unbearable so I am looking to go back to KK, root nice to have but non essential. I installed the latest drivers and downloaded IntelAndroid-FBRL-01-17-2015 per the rooting thread, but when I try to run launcher.bat I get the following

Code:

What are my options here. I am pretty much ready to throw the tablet in the trashcan if I can't remove the atrocious 5.1 update.

Samsung galaxy S4 Black Edition Downgrade from Lollipop to Kitkat

Hi Guys,

My Phone Samsung Galaxy S4 Black edition(India INS) got automatically upgraded to 5.0.1 Lollipop from Kitkat 4.4.2.
Since the upgrade i feel there a performance issues in my phone.
Now,I have decided to Downgrade it to Kitkat.I have identified the correct firmware from SAM Mobile below,

Model GT-I9500
Model name GALAXY S4
Country India (Black Edition)
Version Android 4.4.2
Changelist 923538
Build date Wed, 05 Mar 2014 07:25:51 +0000
Product code INS
PDA I9500XXUFNC1
CSC I9500YDDFNC2

I know all the procedures to Flash the firmware using Odin.

I have few questions below,
1)If i downgrade to the above kitkat version,Will i face Null IMEI problem and why?
2)I have also heard,the workaround for the null imei issue is to flash the modem.bin from lollipop firmware,then Baseband version will be still from Lollipop.Will this create signal problems in future?

Please share yours views and suggestions on this.

Thanks

My phone currently has cm11 but it was stunning stock 4.3.x before that. I'm just wondering if I can download the ROM (including bootloader) via flashing the ROM (from Sammobile) via odin.

Thank you very much :)

Help Needed - Downgrade from Marshmallow to Lollipop

Any help would be great.

Thanks

how to downgrade the lg transpyre to kitkat?

Hi guys, I am a newbie to smartphones in general and seem to have myself stuck in a loop. I have a lg transpyre that I was trying hard not to upgrade to lollipop because it would unroot it (I got it rooted before as kitkat). I guess at some points in time I forgot to uncheck the auto installing checkbox so now I have lollipop :crying:.

I have another identical transpyre that still runs rooted kitkat. I am researching on maybe somehow copying the operating system from this phone to the lollipop phone (I guess it calls flash?). So far it seems to me that such attempt would require both phones to be rooted.

Can anyone guides me to the right direction? I really appreciate any help I can receive!

I545VRUGOF1 need help with root or downgrade to COF1

Flashed GOF1 by mistake from sammmobile using Odin. Now can't find a root method that works. Tried to flash COF1 using Odin but get fail message. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm really just needing root to get backups restored from TiBu. Much appreciated if anyone has suggestions.

Desperate to Downgrade to Gingerbread

Moderators - my apologies if I have posted this in the wrong area and please relocate it.

if anyone knows a safe and proven way to downgrade my Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 GT i1860 to Gingerbread I would be eternally grateful.
there is a lot of info below, but I find it is of no use asking for help without explaining what and where I have been up to so far, so please bear with me.

after suffering some woes and a near bricking it currently has Jellybean 4.1.2 Baseband 18160XXNA1- Kernel 3.0.31-1106830 se infra@SEP-64#2 SMP PREEMP on it,
plus it is rooted with a temporary CWM on the sdcard.

I need the downgrade to be able to run Copilot Live 8 or 9 - ver 8 worked fine on GB, but not on JB whereas ver 9 on JB is useless.
see this link: https://forum.copilotlive.com/copilo...ent=topic_link

some googling suggested downgrade was possible and I tried these 2 links:
1. http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-dow...android-4-1-2/
sadly Yandex would not give up the file.

2. http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/galaxy-ace2...erbread-455579
this link is what caused my near bricking and days of anguish.

the downloaded 18160XXLK6.rar file did not extract the 3 files named in the tutorial:
CODE_GT-I8160XXLK6_CL1211243_REV00_SEC_KEY_LK6-4G.tar.md5 -CSC_GT-I8160-MULTI-CSC-0XELF1_SEC_KEY_4G.tar.md5 and GT-I8160_EUR_XX_4G.pit
but it just contained I8160XXLK6_I8160OXXLK1_HOME.tar.md5 and SS_DL.dll and when I looked into the rar file itself it had some image files.

nonetheless I followed the instructions, but just put the one md5 file into Odin -more than likely that is where I went wrong because the phone ended up nearly bricked and had a Data partition that could not be mounted nor formatted, so I could not restore any CWM backups. after days of downloads I did get it back up and running.
I think it was HOME_I8160XXNA1_I8160BTUNA1_I8160XXNA1_1106830_REV 00_user_low_ship.tar.md5 that got it sorted enough for me to restore a backup.

no doubt I have been a right prat - I obviously know just enough to be dangerous, but please be kind to a 70 year old plonker

jfltecan: Is that really impossible to downgrade from KK to JB? Can someone confirm?

Hi,

I have experience with the Canadian S4 I337M, currently running custom Validus ROM 5.1.1, originally was on TouchWiz 4.4.2;
I have altough a question that seems quite.. debated, did looked around I can't find a definitive answer and know who I should trust. I wonder if options changed in 2015 rather than 2013 when KNOX was still new.

Out of simple curiosity (I will not attempt it, risky, probably useless and I'm running 5.1.1 anyway): I keep reading that it's impossible to downgrade the S4 to 4.2.2, due to the KNOX bootloader on 4.3 / 4.4, I understand that you cannot downgrade below 4.3 which is the "new" KNOX bootloader.

1. I'm simply curious: On the I337M, what happens if you grab the stock 4.2.2 firmware and flash it with Odin anyway, considering I'm on 4.4 ? My guess, if I'm correct, Odin detect the bootloader version right away and says "FAIL". Correct?

2. I used to think it was possible to downgrade from 4.4 to 4.3, since 4.3 has the KNOX bootloader as well. Is this possible anyway, or will Odin fail (Not going to try it, not worth it)? Considering what I've read just today, 4.4 is also a new bootloader. In any case, since that 4.4 bootloader cannot be downgraded (I guess?), there is no way to downgrade from 4.4 to stock 4.3 either? Odin will show "FAIL" ?

3. Is there any other way to downgrade it anyway? I understand that KNOX 0x1 remain irreversible yet, and to my knowledge, it's impossible to dowgrade to 4.2.2 (Or even 4.3?), but I've been reading that it was possible to downgrade if the bootloader is excluded from the TAR archive, make sense to me, but is that true, was that patched? Should I recompile an ODIN package excluding the bootloader, is that how it's done (Too dangerous, not trying it)? Or maybe by using Mobile Odin / FlashFire, downgrading from 4.4 to 4.3 / 4.2 can be acheived, if the bootloader is left untouched? What happens if we try it anyways? Odin fail, or device does boot but doesn't get past Samsung boot logo?

I'm just wondering, and quite confused by the different opinions that were shared. Remember this is for the Canadian I337M variant.

Thanks for confirming, appreciate!

Touch key (Softkey) firmware problem (How to DOWNGRADE Touch key firmware)

Hi all,

My phone hadn't received the official Lollipop update until 2 days ago. I had tried several cooked/customed ROMs before, so when I use the *#2663# code (after installing stock Lollipop) it appears like this:

Phone's Touch key FW version: 0x09
Part's Touch key FW version: 0x10 <= This is the problem, my [Back] key doesn't work at all, while when I touch the [Menu] key on the left side it opens the S Finder just as I am holding it. I suspect one of the cooked ROMs caused this problem.

When I tried reverting it back to KitKat (either stock or cooked), it became this:

Phone's Touch key FW version: 0x08 <= Changed to 0x08
Part's Touch key FW version: 0x10 <= It's still the same but the softkeys worked fine.

Another person's phone (same model), which works fine, has this instead:

Phone's Touch key FW version: 0x09
Part's Touch key FW version: 0x09 <= Same version as Phone's FW

I tried looking up for solutions from other XDA posts but they only instruct people to enter the *#2663# code and update Part's Touch key FW version to match with Phone's Touch key FW version because the latter was lower, but in my case it is higher than the former so I gets an error everytime I try to do that ("IC's F/W is higher than Bin's F/W").

So I am asking for a solution of how to downgrade Part's Touch key FW version, beside the method of flashing the original ROM that came out with the phone (I tried that... no luck :crying: ). Hope that someone can help. Thank you very much :laugh:

How to downgrade ME572CL back to JP sku Kitkat from pre-rooted WW Lollipop

So I have a Japanese model ME572CL which I flashed with WW lollipop firmware. I then downgraded and reflashed with pre-rooted lollipop following the guide on here. But now I would like to go back to the correct JP SKU firmware, the most recent version of which is V12.14.1.17 released last month, but I believe still 4.4.2 based. Can anyone tell me the correct steps to downgrade back to that firmware? Really grateful if anyone can help!
