It's recommended that you need to get back to stock 4.1.2 and OTA to 4.3 first.

How can you go back to 4.1.2? I tried doing that and it nearly bricked my phone. I do have the new bootloader and when I tried to flash back, it said it failed and I ended up having to do an emergency restore through Kies.

I think you have to use Odin.

Well if that's the case I'll give it go later on this evening. I was trying to flash back to 4.1.2 with those One click.exe bundles and when it get to flashing the bootloader it said it had failed and I'd be left with a soft bricked phone. At least it's not the end of the world should it do it again, but man it's a pain.

Cool beans! Too bad you have to upgrade to stock 4.3 with knox before flashing the rom when its ready. 

I guess after they back to stock flash from recovery you have to skip the keep root flash to get the OTA to take.

 

After that I guess you have to use Kingo root before you would install the room in order to get root back.

 

I have a ton of apps on my phone I see you can make a update.zip in titanium backup from the backups. How does that work out in practice? It better to just let the restored to stock phone automatically redownload them all from the play store?

Going to stock 4.3 ensures that your phone gets everything intended for 4.3. Flashing from 4.1.2 to a custom 4.3 your phone will miss more than what just a Modem/Firmware zip covers.

 

 

You will lose root doing our steps, but do not recommend using Kingo. Their are reports all over on how unsecure their process is and I'm not talking about bricking your phone. There is a simple 3 step process to get root and only need ODIN to put the recovery in place.

 

I can't say how your apps are going to restore to 4.3 using TB. I don't see it being a problem. Make sure your not saving any system applications though.

However, won't that trigger knox?

Absolutely. It will trigger the KNOX counter in the bootloader. It's a tradeoff. There are discussions on XDA on workarounds if you have to go in for service.

I'd love to test too, if another person is needed. I was on the original Digiblur Note2 rom up until I made the poor decision of moving to MK4!

That was actually a smart idea. You just need to load TWRP, DeKNOX and Root.

Probably easier to just Odin over TWRP or Philz CWM. Some people claim Philz handles 4.3 better. Then flash the ROM and I would wipe data too as I do not suggest a "dirty" flash.

 

No need to root or deknox since that is already done in the ROM.

I'm downright giddy

so if we are running digis now....will this rom install 4.3???

 

You'll need to be running stock 4.3 (wiped clean recommended; dirty upgrade not supported), be rooted, and have a custom recovery installed. digiROM will install over the installation. The installation will get "digi-fied" with all the tweaks and such that we've been previously accustomed with.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
