How to downgrade S5 to 4.4.2 in order to root?(software is 5.0 build lrx21T.g900VVRU2BPB1)(smg9000v)

AC Question

I have tried a lot. My understanding is that if I downgrade to 4.4.2, I can root my S5 easily. The phone refuses to take any software given by Odin (3.10.7). I have turned reactivation lock off, cleared the cache, factor reset the phone, and turned USB debugging on. Ideally, I would load 4.4.2 (I am using G900VVRU1ANE9_G900VVZW1ANE9_G900VVRU1ANE9_HOME.tar.md5 from sam mobile), but would be fine with any method to root. Yes I am in download mode while trying to put the new OS on. The log on Odin is:
"

On the phone, the error is:
"
SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 2 > Binary 1
"

Any suggestions??
