[IMG="After Flashing Kikat Official ROM"]http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3690310&stc=1&d=1458499641[/IMG]

NOTE:

1. All FIRMWAREs Used (Lollipop and Kikat) are download from sammobile.com.

2. It will take 5-10 Minutes to finish flashing the Official ROMs (Lollipop and Kitkat).

3. I used Odin3 v1.85.

4. I did pray (at least), for the phone to avoid tripping the Knox.

5. Attached is the KNOX Status after Flashing Kikat (Sorry I forgot to take screenshot from Lollipop).

6. The reason I flash to Kitkat from Lollipop is because my phone is experiencing battery drain from lollipop.

7. I REPEAT, from the process I encountered, I DID NOT TRIP THE KNOX....:laugh:

8. To avoid any errors after flashing, I advice you to Wipe all Data/Cache in your phone... Well it's your choice if you are into the hard way of thinking :how the hell did I get this error??"

9. One more thing,before I upgraded to Lollipop I was currently in the Jellybean ROM (as stated above). Well the thing is that the Jellybean ROM I have has CSC Code Originating from Middle East.
