[Q] Downgrade Galaxy Alpha SM850F - Samsung Galaxy Alpha

Hello !
I try LOLLIPOP for 2 days and i want to come back to KITKAT because some Xposed modules i need don't works on 5.0.2 (wanamlite for example).
I try to put RESTORE my KITKAT rom but when it boot up , i have nothing into my files... (partition move ?)
So i try to flash a rom with ODIN into 4.4.4 and it fail -_- (2 or 3 roms i try!!)
did someone have any solution ? i see this vidz : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFELFws-CTg but it's a 5.0.2 ROM into it -_-
thanks....

You can try to install TWRP recovery and wipe /system, /cache and dalvik cache before flashing KitKat with Odin. First flash STOCK SAMSUNG KITKAT ROM because you need the bootloader included in there...
Or you stay on Lollipop and try wanam xposed for Lollipop

its not bricked, if it was bricked you can't even start the phone so no worries.
first make sure your phone is a gt9100, if it is try to flash something else (just for a test), or download a other rom, like slimsaber. Please give a report back :highfive:
You flash the CWM 6.0.4.5 (KK Compatible)?
Just use a up to to date CWM version. First, flash gustavo's Kitkat kernel, then flash a kitkat rom. For example, you cannot install a KK rom with 6.0.3.7 recovery. You need at least CWM 6.0.4.5 or TWRP 2.6.1, to be able to flash a KK rom. So, its not bricked or something.

Exatcly. I raccomanded flash a KK ROM from CM 10.2 / ROM based-on-10.2
COMMON PROBLEM !
1. if your in TWRP install blazing kernal to get the lower version of cwm
2. if your getting error on cwm flash an older version CM 10.2
3. that's it fixed
4. or if your in cm 10.2 and still getting error in the sense corrupted download
hope it helps :good:

Thank you all everyone to your kind replies and helping me out this problem,
has been solved by first flashing the gustavo's Kitkat kernel or kitkat Compatible Kernal
after that i can flash the KK rom
thanks thank you guys

Yep

[ROM][STOCK][D855][20A- LRX21M][OFFICIAL] Lollipop rooted ROM by skin1980

Hi all, i'm pleased to share my work with you.
Here you have the latest official lollipop firmware for D855 ( v. 20A - LRX21M) packed in a zip flashable file.
I made this because all of us want to keep the old bootloader that is - at the moment - the only one who accept the bumped TWRP provided us by team Codefire.
I made also a step further and found a way to root this ROM.
Here you go:
First of all i suggest you to install the TWRP modded by me to allow the backup of the modem.
Be sure you select also the modem partition before taking the backup. ( If you want to restore the backup then restore also the modem )
1- download the two files and put them into the sdcard;
2- reboot in recovery and do a factory reset;
3- install the ROM and the supersu ZIP;
4- reboot the device and enjoy your rooted Lollipop ROM.
If you come from an earlier lollipop firmware you can dirty flash, it might work.
I spend a lot of time developing this so if you think i deserve you can donate ( look at my sign )
DOWNLOAD
SUPERSU flashable ZIP
ROM
MIRROR
KK MODEM ( you need this only if you downgrade from lollipop to kitkat and you don't need if you backed up before with the modded TWRP recovery)
DONATORS:( really tnx guys)

Changelog:
- 13.11.2014 - updated to the official LRX21M - 20A ( poland FW )
Q&A
What this ROM include?
In the ROM zip you can find only the system, modem and kernel (bumped) image
What do i need to flash this?
You need only to have the TWRP recovery installed
If i flash this i will lose the bumped recovery?
Nope. The bootloader will not be changed.
If i want go back to KK roms ( stock or AOSP) what i have to do?
Just flash your ROM or restore a previous nandroid backup. But, after that, flash the zip with the KK modem you can find in the 1st post.
I really need to flash the root files?
Must i answer????
Cannot write to internal SD?
With adb or a terminal emulator do:
Code:
su
restorecon -v -R /data/media
Your statusbar and navbar are gone?
This is a issue reported from some user.
Try to format manually data in TWRP before install the rom.
If this doesn't work try flashing the kdz of the H firmware ---> root ----> twrp ----> install this rom ( sperimental).
Doesn't have the option to enable LTE?
Go with a root browser to system/app/Lteconfigs/, click and install the apk, then reboot and you will have the option for LTE.
Wwooiootttttt?????

Like i said in the other post really tnx. My wife and my childs are gonna kill me for the time spent on the PC!
Now this is the stuff. Maybe this G3 wasn't a bad choice after all. Beer (or some wine to keep the wife happy) incoming when I'm not at work
beast.
thank you! could you possibly link to the tot/kdz you used to downgrade from lollipop to kitkat?
What kernel do you use for rooting? 4.4 or custom?
Wait wut? So this is all done in the stock recovery? No root, no custom recovery needed? Just bang it all on the sd card and go?

Sweet, great news!
Sorry for this question but after flashing this rom via bump twrp can we go back to KK Aosp by flashing it back? Or do we need to connect to a PC to restore back to stock fw?

Need help downgrading Moto E

I am running 'Resurrection remix' rom on my Mot E xt-1022. I want to install a kitkat 'custom rom'. Do I need to go through the downgrading process posted here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e/general/safely-restore-to-stock-t3165344
or
I just need to flash the kitkat custom rom as we do normally?
The tutorial is for downgrading to stock Kitkat once you has updated to stock Lollipop. With custom ROM that only flash the boot and system partitions there is no need to follow that guide.
PS: I can hardly write in english.

to my knowledge yes you can flash your custom rom normally that is if it dosen't have any bugs .
but the link you posted is to downgrade to stock rom. if you want stock rom then yes you have to go though that process.
if you just need rom to flash and not bootloader download rom from http://motorola-condor.blogspot.in/p/xt-1022motorola-stock-firmware-romxt.html and flash it normally do this at your own risk i am not responsible for consequences

Thank you and @GSebas for the replies. Will try it to soon. The phone becomes so slow on lollipop and marshmallow. Kitkat is probably the best rom for low-end phones. But the inbuilt 4G ROM makes to look at custom ROMs.
