I'm sorry to tell you this but if you are on the stock nb4 you cannot downgrade. Trying to downgrade will brick your phone. Did you take the OTA 4.4? How did you get 4.4?

Thanks for response. I don;t know, I bought it with 4.4.2 it was stock. So, I have no chance to sim unlock this device?

I'm not sure if you can unlock with this method if you are on 4.4 it doesn't say. It only says you need to be on stock and its confirmed working.

Yes, unfortunately this method doesn;t work for my device..
No, I haven't contacted them, I'm overseas..
I don't think there is a way to unlock NB4 at the moment.. Only thing you can do is wait, or buy an unlock code

This is technically incorrect information. While one may not officially be able to downgrade (first of all using Odin to flash the mdl tar file will not brick your device, simply reports a failed status) you can still root the device install a custom recovery and flash any of the 4.2.2 ROMs found in the development section.

Yes you can flash 4.2 jelly bean custom ROMs but that doesn't help his problem. He needs to sim unlock and at the moment we only have 1 guide for stock 4.2 and nothing newer.

you can still SIM unlock if you flash a custom 4.2.2 ROM. Also, you can simply flash the MK2 modem through Odin (there is a thread explaining how to SIM unlock on NB4 firmware) and then use the commands from there.

Thank you for clarifying that. I have been looking pretty hard and can't seem to find a thread with instructions. Would you be kind and provide a link so we can benefit from this information? Than you very much! Your knowledge is greatly appreciated!!

Good find but it's not confirmed working on 4.4. It barely confirmed working at all. I much rather keep my phone working than to have a $600 paper weight.

Hello, anyone
I have a T-mobile M919. I tried 2 TW ROMs, it gets LTE signal but can't establish data connection. Also,all signal drops when screen off. I also tried to reflash the modem, it didn't work. When it's on GE ROMs, it works fine.
Previously, I flashed some TW rom, it worked fine.
Any thought? Thanks a lot!
Are you on 4.2.2 bootloader with 4.3 MK2 modem or are you simply on 4.3 MK2? Sounds like you need to flash the 4.3 MK2 modem through Odin.

If you're on MDL baseband your bootloader should be 4.2 MDL version. Just update your modem only to mk2.

You definitely need to update your nodem. Just Odin flash the 4.3 MK2 modem.bin file and you won't have this problem anymore. Search for mk2 modem.bin, lots of forums on xda have them.

I'm Rooted on 4.3 with CWM now I wanna go to 4.4.2 with the new modem so what the best way for me to do this without loosing anything? & with that unlimited tethering mod do I just flash that?
I'd flash the modem this way: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678774
Then pick a 4.4.2 ROM from the developers section.

On page one of the modem thread somebody says:
"This can also be flashed if you are running a non-stock kitkat rom with the MK2 bootloader and want to try your luck with the new kitkat modem (gsm). Unless I'm missing something."

Organized by device and carrier. But the latest official rom has a very unfriendly bootloader and security system. Think twice amigo.

I have an At& t note 2 that has been rooted and currently running baseband I317ucubmk6. I am unable to download ota the new kitkat firmware. I believe it is because of the phone being rooted and?or possibly because of bootloader not allowing downgrade of firmware. Not really sure. Can anyone help me unroot this ? return to stock firmware so that i may upgrade or how to to get the kitkat. on my phone? Thanks in advance
