Lollipop to KitKat? Is it possible? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5

Hi, is it possible to go back from lollipop to KitKat. I don't really like lollipop that much and I was wondering if I could just Odin flash the original KitKat rom and flash back to KitKat.

Are you using a custom recovery? Did you try going back to TW after trying CM11?

I haven't tried anything all I did was root my device and then I went to flash twrp recovery and that's when everything went wrong.

If you can't go back I will recommend to Odin back to stock. Here is more information on it:

Yeah I would also recommend using Odin to restore stock and try again.

Use Odin to flash TWRP, unchecked reboot. Pull the battery. Then boot your phone into recovery.

Not sure if you still need it, but go here https://dl.twrp.me/hltespr/ and download the .tar file and then flash through Odin.
Or use twrp manager from the play store to install it.
Which version would one install?? I went from 4.4.4 nh7 custom to oc5 official.. 5.0 . Im now rooted once again... not sure which twrp i am suppose to go w. ???

Two things, Triscuit:
1) You posted a link to a WHOLE ROM and not an OTA;
2) The ROM you linked to is for the MDK bootloader which most of don't have.
Please be careful, guys!

You can download it from Sammobile. I just downloaded it a couple of days ago. It was a very slow download though. They want you to pay for faster downloads. See link. http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SCH-I545/

I used Odin. I'm not aware of any other way except maybe a custom recovery.

You can't flash a custom recovery, sorry dude you're out of luck.
