Hi guys, a lot of GS4 SCH-I545 lollipop (OC1/OF1) users want to downgrade to kitkat or jellybean , i want to know if their any chance to downgrade this phone ! Thanks .

Yes you can!

Just download the odin 3.xx above and an official stock Rom from http://sammobile.com
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Matthew M.:
Do not do this. Lollipop schi545 has a locked bootloader, if you downgrade you will not be able to properly boot.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Matthew M.:
Why the hell would you do that to him it could brick is phone. That should be a bannable offense
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] braindeductions:
NO IT'S NOT! the official bootloader doesn't violate the device integrity. It WON'T get hard bricked since he can ALWAYS REVERT TO THE :Mentioned: Lollipop Official
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Matthew M.:
There's still no point to tell him to do something that you know won't work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] braindeductions:
I am certain that my recommendation to do sth about it is better than you telling him not to do anything. Do you have a valid theory yourself that it won't work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
yea its called we know more then you so take your attitude and shove it

once you upgrade to lolipop there is no flashing back PERIOD

updating blows the qfuses which means you can not downgrade the bootloader or kernel it doesn't matter if its with odin or kies or if its a official or non official package once you update its over

and had you taken 15m to search the forum before shooting your mouth off you would have known that
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] braindeductions:
You had me at "We know more". Nice try BTW.

He is already on Lollipop okay?

So once he tries to 'officially' downgrade it to KK and fails then what option does Bob have?

Bob can always flash official lollipop. Get your facts straight!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sebastian031:
No your wrong. There's a problem with flashing backwards because it blows a q fuse. It'll brick his phone. Seriously lollipop is not downgradable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] braindeductions:
Maybe you guys are right. But what I have been doing to all of my phones : HTC DNA, HTC ONE M8, HTC One MAX, Droid Razr XT912, Droid Ultra etc is 'maybe' downgrading on it unknowingly on an unlocked bootloader. Is that so?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tdct12:
There is a hardware check along with a binary fuse on bootloader versions. Downgrading bootloader with odin is a very bad idea. If it were doable we would all be on mdk and there would be way more custom roms. [MENTION=6240404]braindeductions[/MENTION] even though the bootloader is locked you can still safestrap roms. What are you on oc1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Matthew M.:
Odin wouldn't let it flash and if it would it'd pull up a check fail. Downgrading with flashfire is a very bad idea. It's a quick trip to a hard brick.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] braindeductions:
I am on OF1 with Albe S6 Rom on flashfire. But I know I can always revert back to stock Lollipop official. Never thought of other way around with KK bootloader downgrading.

As far as i know, HK version is not supported by twrp-pa7 file (if i not wrong) due to different partition information table (PIT file). You need china rom instead of HK rom in order to use odin to flash the twrp and then flash the SU. I think the only website to root HK version is at bbs.xxroot.com but you have to pay.. :)

Open CROM service app and run it

2. Open developer options

Turn ON the OEM unlock

3. Sign out from google account on A9

BUT 4. odin flash cf auto root!

works!
