Downgrading from Lollipop to KitKat
- In Case you have Custom Recovery Installed: Flash stock recovery
- In Case your Device is Rooted: Download your current ROM installed and flash it using any method here.
- Download KitKat ROM depending on your region from “Prerequisites” before you begin.
- Extract the downloaded *.zip or *.rar file.
- Copy dload folder (contains UPDATE.APP in it) and paste it in the root of your SD Card. (There may be multiple dload folder or UPDATE.APP files copy the one with the larger size. You must copy it in the root of your SD card)
- Now go to Settings > Updates > Menu > Local Update > Full Package:UPDATE>APP and press install.
