I purchased my Note 4 from Craigslist and put in a request to At&t for getting the unlock code. They said that the device is still under contract but is not blacklisted. I tried reaching out to the seller but the person doesn't anwer my calls (no surprises here!)
So I'm wondering if it's possbile to downgrade my Note 4 from 4.4.4 to 4.4.2 and ue the RegionLock away. I did a quick search and did not find info on this but I do remember reading about the impossibility of being able to downgrade furthur down from 4.4.4. Can someone please confirm?
We never had 4.3, so no, you can't downgrade to 4.3 because no firmware ever existed.

Okay, you got me! I meant 4.4.2 instead of 4.3. Let me edit my original question to fix this typo. But the same question still stands.

Oh ok lol
I think as long as you aren't on firmware COC5 or COC6, you can. Once COC5 came out, it made reverting impossible.

I uploaded a screenshot of my build. Can you please take a look at it and let me know that I'm screwed? :laugh: Thanks.
Ok hold on. I'm confusing myself here.
First, COC5 and C6 are both Lollipop, so you aren't at that point. Once you accepted those updates, you can't revert back to 4.4.4.
You're on 4.4.4 now, so you can revert back, but only if:
1) ... our Note 4 was ever on 4.4.3. If it never was, you'd need a custom 4.4.3 rom, which wouldn't be possible anyways since we have a locked bootloader. You'll only be able to install official firmwares for the N910a.
I can't remember if we ever had 4.4.3 though. I only remember 4.4.4. But when I got my phone, it updated right out of the box to the same firmware you have now. So whatever firmware was before that, I never really used. Lol
2) ... you can find a flashable odin version of that firmware. I think it was NKE or something.

Your phone is on original firmware as they wore release. There is no lower firmware available for this phone. About RegionLock, You can't use it because app need root and all we have on At&t note 4 is temporally root witch will not work. Best is if you buy unlocking code from some web.

Hello guys, sorry if this is a noob question for you Sammy guys (I'm more used to Nexus devices), but I was wondering if it is possible to update the baseband version on this device? More specifically, I was wondering if I could update to an international radio/modem? If not, does anyone know where to find the latest radios for each device. I tried searching but only could come up with an older thread for the version I already have (MDL). On my Nexus One and HTC One S we could flash any baseband we wanted, international or carrier release. Thanks!

No.
Do not flash any radio other than the ones made for your device. At best it won't boot. At worst it won't let you Odin back to the correct radio and it will never boot.

Yeah but a new modem update by itself will probably never be a super improvement. So you probably aren't missing out on much.
Its not like an updated modem will let you talk to the Moon or something.

LOL. what he's trying to do (my guess) is to use the i9505 4.3 roms. Unfortunately you will LOSE data connection (with the screen off) without the newer radios.
No option unfortunately but wait.

Spot on. Apparently, T-Mo is supposed to release their 4.3 update early to mid November (consult General Section for source). Then and only then would we be able to use a 4.3 TW ROM without cell network wonking out like a drunk. Hopefully T-Mobile could be at least 1/3rd useful this time and actually push out an update for once.. (you can feel my hatred towards carriers...... =.=).
EDIT: SOURCE THREAD, towards the last few pages starts the talk of the rumored T-Mo Nov. release.

There is no M919 Tmobile 4.3 dump.
That's the problem, the only dump and the flashable zipfile rom
available as of yet is for the international versions of the S4's.
Flashing an international version of the 4.3 rom into our M919
phones even if it worked properly we would be losing wifi calling
and most like the LTE feature plus who knows what else.
You are wrong there is a t mobile4.3 dump for very long posted in general section : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2478553
Sent from my SGH-M919V using Tapatalk 4
We CAN run the TW 4.3 ROMs and have full LTE as normal (except for Wi-Fi calling b/c that's a T-Mo specific feature), the only issue is that data randomly cuts in and out. I don't understand how I could run AOSP 4.3 with no issues but 4.3 TW gives problems...
The thing is, only us T-Mo users have data issues, not the international or any other carrier. So it MUST be the radio version that is the cause of the problems, which is why we must wait for T-Mo to finally release an update...
Has anyone dare to flash international MJ5, JM6 modem? I mean our bootloader is unlock right? If it don't work can we just flash back our old modem? Just a thought.

Not a full dump. Only partial dump as the OP of that thread didn't want to root for fear of triggering Knox, and he had to return the device to tmobile.

Ok. This is confirmed....But
Has anyone modded this to flash outside the software update? Since my phone is rooted and lokified it will not take the update, and a boot loop or something is waiting.
Has anyone have a download and "modded" version for us lesser children???:angel:

BE ADVISED: More than likely if you are rooted and you go back to stock and flash this ROM, you will NOT be able to root right away, and Free Gee probably will not work, so if this is important to you. Do NOT flash this ROM OTA. wait till the dev's come up with a rooted version.

I only really used to lurk the forums, but I've seen a lot of conflicting threads with regards to rooting/downgrading methods for this particular model which is why I'm asking here today:
My understanding is that KNOX itself will trip when rooting occurs and voids the warranty, and that it also blocks bootloading(?)
I made the mistake of updating to 4.3 a while back and I've regretted it ever since, and now that there's an OFW update to 4.4.2 (I'd rather not update it) I'm stuck between updating to 4.4.2 (Which might lock me out of downgrading) or staying with 4.3 until a solution appears.
Here are my device details:
SAMSUNG NOTE 2 LTE
GT-N7105
Android Ver: 4.3
Baseband ver: N7105XXUEMJ9
Build: JSS15J.N7105XXUEML3
I'm already past warranty so tripping knox isn't a problem, I just want to bring it back down to 4.1.2.
Can anyone give me advice or a step-by-step on how I should proceed? I've been looking for a solution over the last few months without any real progress...:crying:

Once Knox is triggered or updating to official 4.3 and higher one cannot downgrade to 4.1.2. So you are stuck with 4.3 and higher ROMs. Bye bye 4.1.2

I Recently upgraded my note 4 to lollipop but then I didn't know I would lose my root so now i wanna downgrade my sm-910a to. Kitkat. . It has a baseband version coc4. Is it possible to downgrade? If yes then link please Thanks or else provide me pre rooted firmware for sm-910a. Thanks once again
Read around before posting please. Once you are on COC5-C6, you can't downgrade. So kiss your temp root goodbye. This info is everywhere, especially lately with more and more people asking the same questions over and over again.

Unfortunately no. Everyone who has tried soft bricked their phones.
This is why there are new posts on a daily basis with people crying because they have bootloops or soft bricked devices. Att did something with the Stagefright patches that prevent downgrading.
Edit: My bad! I didn't notice that you said COC4. I THINK C4 can be downgraded still. I know for sure that C5-C6 can't.

Hey folks I've just now upgraded to this device and have been a dev for write some time now but mostly for HTC. My firmware and kernel are predated may of 2015 so I'd like to get suggestions from users that have had experience with the s6. What I'm looking to do is sim unlock, root, run twrp recovery, and eventually build roms for this device. So where should I start, take the update first, then sim unlock, root, & recovery, or do all of this now before I update my firmware using the ota? I've read that we can access root with 5.0.2 & 5.1.1 but what's your opinion? I would rather not trip my Knox but it's not a deal breaker if I do, since I own my device. Thanks in advance for your input. Oh and I'm not a noob and have read all the threads here. It's just a little confusing where to start since the device has been out a while now. You're all ahead of my game a little bit. Lol

Just updated today. It is an excellent guide.
Well an update here. The build that came with my device was not listed anywhere as rootable or unlockable. What I did find was info stating to update my device to get a newer version that would be workable. After that update my device still had a version that nobody could do anything with yet. Looks like I'll just have to wait it out or get another device before my 14 days are up.
