Downgrading to KitKat 4.4.2 from Lollipop 5.0

Dear AndroidCenteral users,

I am looking to downgrade from the Lollipop 5.0 back to the stock KitKat 4.4.2 that came with the phone. I am having a little bit of trouble finding out what the PDA # was, when I had the Android version 4.4.2. Here is my phone specs below.

I went to Sammobile website and searched for SM-G900P to get the correct Firmware. I just don't know which PDA to pick.

I tried "G900PVPU1AND2_G900PSPT1AND2_BST" flashing it with Odin3 v3.09, when I click Start on Odin3 the phone gave me this error. "SW REV CHECK FAIL : [about]Fused 3 > Binary 1" Odin3 replied back with FAIL!.

I am trying "G900PVPU1ANE5_G900PSPT1ANE5_SPR" and I should know if a couple of minutes if it works. If it does I will reply with a response, if I don't reply that means that one did not even work The servers for these files are slow and is take me about 2hrs to try each file.


Phone: Samsung Galaxy S5 - white
Carrier: Boost Mobile
Model: SM-G900P
Android Version: Lollipop 5.0
Software Version: G900PVPU3B0G1
Hardware Version: G900P.04
Baseband Version: G900PVPU3B0G1
Kernal Version: 3.4.0-4781399
Build Number: LRX21T.G900PVPU3B0G1
KNOX 2.3

Any help would be great, thank you
Nick

ANE5 seems to be the latest 4.4.2.
