Downgrade 5.0.1 (OC1) to 4.4.2 (NC5) ?? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Can I downgrade via a FULL WIPE 4.4.2 NC5 .tar.md5 from a 5.0.1 OC1 via Odin?
I'm on stock, but I'm not rooted.

If you took the OTA update to Lollipop then you are out of luck, you can't downgrade. If you flashed it via the instructions in other threads, those threads explain the process.

I didn't take the update. I'm on MDK firmware but I just flashed the modem from the latest update. I was just wondering if there some way to flash the MDK modem.

Sounds like people have issues downgrading from MJ4 but if you're still on MI5 downgrade to the official MI3; Update to MJ4, root and TWRP again. (Anyone is welcome to correct me if I'm wrong...)
I'm still on MI5, being patient and cautious.
UPDATE: Similar thread only several posts down with info...
I think I might wait also. To many steps to screw up lol

CFAutoroot will work on the latest firmware. I unrooted, updated through Kies, and rerooted just to be sure.

Out of curiosity, how did you unroot? I forgot to check for the OTA before I rooted and never got it.

Okay, I mistyped. You unroot through a factory restore via Kies, but the Knox counter is still tripped.
No, that's fine.... Just making sure of the proper way to unroot. I was pondering using the posted .tar file and using Odin, but wasn't sure if that was the best method.

Just bought a rooted phone of swaapa

As the title says, I just received my phone from swaapa. after my s4 mdk version broke. The phone is rooted and it's running 5.0.1 I'm not familiar with this version. So for safety measures can some one link the restore file you would use to restore it back to stock (the one used in odin).

There is no way to put the phone back to MDK. However, the info in this thread will give you some guidance on downgrading to KitKat and keeping root, among other things. 5.0.1 isn't bad. I'm running stang5litre's debloated 5.0.1. I bought my SGS4 from Swappa, as well. It was not MDK, either, so I'm limited to what ROM's I can run. Hope this helps.
Is it AOSP or touch wiz? If its aosp it's likely to have an mdk bootloader. Can you give us a screenshot of your "About Phone" in settings?

So, my only guess is he has an MDK bootloader with the stock 5.0.1 TW installed.

Don't flash a stock ROM in Odin. If you do that you will loose the MDK bootloader forever. You're a lucky person, you can flash whatever you like right now, whether it is a TouchWiz or AOSP. If you loose the MDK bootloader you loose the ability to bootloader bypass exploit.

So I can go back to the mdk version through Odin and then reroot? I'm confused my old s4 was still on mdk and I was using cm.

Yes, or you could just update TWRP to the latest version and try a 5.1.1 CM based ROM. I recommend Exodus: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3135866

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.
