possible 5.0.1 OC1 ect. downgrade method [unconfirmed] - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

i came across this: PAGE in my search on downgrades on OC1 bootloader now before you yell at me bootloader is locked
did verizon only update the bootloader while on 5.0.1 lollipop seems stupid to only update a bootloader but hey who am i? the mention page does not say boot loader has to be xxx. any body want to test this?

I think it can but, I can't remember if the catch was only if the device was updated via OTA and not via Odin but, I could be wrong in which one or even at all.
Maybe @bilgerryan can check it out and clarify this...

That all depends on what you had done with it.

rooted it via wondershare (mobilego) method after it rebooted i powered it off and put in a att sim upon powering on the phone the mention screen appeared. i got the phone used from someone not sure if it had anything done to it but it did have a straight talk sim in it if that means anything.

then all you did was successfully root it.
The lock will indicate for root as well as for Unlocking it.
I use the Wondershare Software too and it's a great tool for rooting.

This'll fail, there is no way to downgrade from OC1.
Someone did manage to fake the way the aboot reads the software so you can push a kernel in place of the stock kernel. He just never released exactly what was done.
