Downgrade SM-G900V from 6.0.1 to 5.0?

[Mattdels]

I have been reading the forums recently, and from what I have gathered its possible to use odin to flash my S5 with 6.0.1 back to 5.0 (G900VVRU2BPB1)? I have the latest android security patch (G900VVRS2DQB2) is it possible to still do that?

Yup it worked, Flashed my S5 but had to wipe the cache partition and do a factory reset as it got stuck on the startup logo. Luckily I had most everything backed up.
