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.

Still testing our base build. It's looking good.

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.

      T-Mobile has saved its 28Mhz mmWave licenses by using the point to point method to do environment monitoring inside its cabinets.

      Yep, there is a label on the side of the box but it doesn't provide any useful info that the city doesn't already provide (Crown Castle Solutions is the franchisee). You can see my graphical interpretation of the city's dataset here.

      Totally agree.  In my county and surrounding counties, TM did not place n-41 on every site.  When I look at the sites in question, I probably would have not placed it there either.  I can find just a few with n-71 only and in most of those cases if you live there and know the probable usage of the residents, you would not do a full upgrade on those sites.  One site in particular is set up to force feed n-71 through a long tunnel on the Turnpike.  No stopping allowed in the tunnel. No stores, movie theaters, bathrooms, so n41 would be a waste.    n25 is not really needed either, so it is not there.  The tunnel is going through & under a mountain with more black bears than people.  TM was smart.  Get good coverage in the tunnel but do not waste many many thousands of dollars with extra unused spectrum. I also see sites with only n71 & n25.  Again this makes sense to me.  Depending on what county we are talking about, they moved much of their b25 from LTE to nr.  Some counties have more n25 than a neighboring county, but luckily, it is plenty everywhere.   When you are in a very rural area, n41 can run up the bills and then be barely used.  I am NOT finding sites that should have had n41 but TM failed to provide it.  They may have to come back later in a few years and upgrade the site to n41.  However, we just may eventually see the last little piece on Band 25 leave LTE and move to n25. I am not sure if the satellite to phone service is using band 25 G block as LTE or nr. We also can possibly have at least some AWS move from LTE to nr at some point.  Yes, everybody wants n41. it is not justified in some cases.  When I travel, I desire some decent service along the entire route but it does not have to be 1 or 2 gig download.   If I can get 50/5 on a speedtest with data that will flow and not stutter, I am very happy. Yes, they will swap out the USC gear.  TM needs to match their existing network. The USCC equipment did the job for years, but it is time to retire it.
