I KNOW ITS MY RESPONSIBILITY BUT PLEASE DONT IGNORE ME I LOST MY N4!!!

Please don't capitalize your letters in your words. It's an indication that you are yelling and sounds demanding. The folks have tried to help you over there. If the issue can't be solved no matter what you do then I strongly suggest you use your warranty and get a replacement or ask for a fix. Call Google and RMA it. There's no need to double post.
Good luck.

personally i use the .27 radio, i like it better. but, as it was just posted, the .33 radio would be the in between version.

go here and download the NEXUS 4 OCCAM image file. inside it you will see system.img, userdata.img etc..... Flash those along with the radio file and any other image file in the main file you download. USE FASTBOOT ONLY to flash them. find EFRANT's thread regarding how to properly use fastboot. if anything will save it, this should do it
edit: nevermind, missed the post saying he/she got it fixed

Regarding bad advice: I recommended people in the ParanoidAndroid thread to do exactly the same as you in order to update their radio and bootloader. Arguably tens of people followed it plus all the people in the thread I linked, I #N E V E R# heard of anyone experiencing what you did. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38029424
Sorry it went the way it did, glad you have now recovered it.
Big thanks Simms + everyone else for helping out.

Except Saturdays, I'm mean then..

Vangelis13 i said b4 i dont blame u, maybe my bad eng is the cause for the 'bad meaning'.
look at my 3rd comment on this thread and try to read it in a good way.
anyway, my phone saved by 27 modem.
im tryin to upgrade the modem anyway to 33 but it leads to same 'baseband: unknown'.
ivv tried to do it as img file on 'root toolkit' (fastboot) and zip from recovery.
what could be the problem that prevent the modem upgrade?
tnx.

No hard feelings, everything cool. If you look at the quote however, it looks a bit like blaming, no..?
Things can always go wrong with flashing; a risk you're hopefully aware of.
On your problem: no clue! It is really weird. Bad antenna perhaps..? Your provider blocking some frequency that the newer radios use (sounds like bsh*t but, who knows..)? I asked in the other thread as well; are you trying to use LTE as your prime band?

Btw.. I also was looking at the thread you posted yesterday and read a thread that someone had linked to help you. In that thread it said that flashing the old radio would get the baseband known again. I thought it would've been a bit pointless just rewriting what it said in the thread.
Anyway, im pretty sure Google updates the radio with every update they release, so you might want to flash your phone back to the android version which has the .27 radio and then accept Google OTA update. Might sound pointless if you can just flash radios and basebands, but it might help.. somehow.

[Q] Just rooted my M17 on 4.3.. Knox 0x0

I have rooted my phone while not tripping KNOX, I am still on M17 4.3 that came with my phone. I am trying to upgrade to KitKat, as I have heard from numerous people in my area that the signal has improved dramatically for LTE and 4G.
1. How do I go about upgrading to KitKat without tripping KNOX or losing root? Is that possible at this juncture?
2. Can I upgrade to a custom Kitkat ROM while also recieving my signal upgrade? Or do I have to upgrade to an official firmware/ROM first before I recieve the better signal?
Thank you very much for the knowledge!!

Upgrading to stock 4.4 won't trip your knox but custom 4.4 will most probably do.

So should I take the Ota update or what? Will I lose root?

If you already have the ota for your carrier/device then go for it. You might loose root as this is official but you can root again after if that is the case.

Will OTA trip Knox?

device modified cannot update ota is the error I am getting. What do I do from here to update my device?

Ok, so Mobile Odin does not allow me to flash or update to 4.4...If I so choose can I loose root and update to Kitkat OTA?
And if I don't want to lose root, how can I update 4.3 to the latest version and what version would work for my N900T Tmobile? My signal is horrible stock. I keep hearing I can flash to the latest UK version but that doesn't seem right?

There is a guide at the link below specifically for tmobile on how to upgrade to 4.4. Maybe you can post your question there as most likely someone in the same situation as you have posted there. As far as tripping knox, as long as you flash official 4.4 firmware it will not trip. Rooting and custom recovery on 4.4 I don't know since I don't have the tmo one.

I did not only read it but i was the guy that actually suggested/asked Chainfire to add the extra feature in Mobile Odin Pro that makes it possible, and I also saw that pretty much everybody that was in that original thread and was able to read it also managed to do things right. Apparently you have not, and now you are whining around here about it without actually providing any information on what happened - were you unable to follow the procedure? Too bad for you Was it something in the procedure that could not work on YOUR SPECIFIC MODEL? That could be the only thing helpful and interesting to the other members, but I do not see any post from you with details, I only see whining with no details

I also am desperate for someone much better at this than I to find a method. I hate the OTA! If we can't root, has anyone figured out how to remove the odin write protection so we can revert to the leak?

I'm stuck at this point waiting for a root method too. Does anyone know if Kingo will eventually add kitkat ? Have they been slowly upgrading the tool so far?

Chances are it will be a long while before we get any sort of root. I willingly took NC4 and have no regrets. Maybe one day we will get an unlock.

Perhaps, but maybe it will bring more awareness to it. I also installed the update without doing research to see if it could be rooted after, and now am sorely disappointed I cannot load cyanogenmod on it.
I've been searching all over and it still doesn't look like there's a solution for it. Hopefully somebody more experienced comes along, reads this, and figures out a solution for the rest of us mere mortals

Refer to the sticky that says do not OTA update.

We need more than root to use TWRP. The bootloader has to be unlocked. It's not very likely that you'll see any Samsung US versions unlocked, they've been locked down pretty damn tight for years.

Oh but it most certainly does.
IF the OP managed to crack the bootloader THEN we can progress on the TESTING phase of a TWRP recovery. If he didn't unlock (or crack) the bootloader then thus it is locked, right? Which only answers the question.
One could easy argue that he didn't realize that the bootloader was locked. Okay. So let's do that. We'll assume as such. So let's wonder together now. Why would a device considered the best (and most popular) Android phone on the market not have a custom recovery? Hmm. That doesn't make sense! So instead of posting the inquiry in the appropriate How To Root section... another thread is opened about it. Undoubtedly, if the OP had read about it (s)he would have found that the bootloader is locked. Right? Because what other explaination could there be for the most popular Android phone on the market?
It really just means that every question has an answer but not every answer can *only* be found by starting yet another thread.
But... maybe... just maybe... he DOES have an unlocked bootloader. Wouldn't that be neat? Wouldn't we like to know how? The absence of such is the very reason we don't have TWRP available. Again... a little reading would lead one to discover that very minor detail. Of which the OP clearly didn't do enough. So... the moral of my point is...

I don't get how else should do it. It prevents a load of other threads being created. If we tend to be soft on people who don't use a function that was created for a reason, we would be having threads over threads of asking for something that has been answered NUMEROUS times.

How was I being harsh by inquiring to procedure in which he had used to unlock his bootloader?
Once we are all able to unlock ours then we can develop a fully functional recovery.

I know how you say it.... hey noob topic starter man (just kidding ) that question has been asked a few times already, do a search if you need more information. The same questions over and over tend to clog these threads up. But what clogs them even more, is the multiple flaming responses with no answers or guidance. . Or better yet, you can say...

The reason no one has responded is that the questioned has been asked and answered so many times that anyone should be able to find the answer on their own. There is even a step by step answer. And there is a video posted by Beut. But you have to be VERY VERY careful to follow it exactly. Miss one step and it won't work.

Sorry UD was after the model no. my bad.
It's just a 580 with android 7.0 and 10" inch screen.

The reason no one has responded is that the questioned has been asked and answered so many times that anyone should be able to find the answer on their own. There is even a step by step answer. And there is a video posted by Beut. But you have to be VERY VERY careful to follow it exactly. Miss one step and it won't work.

You must not have read them carefully. The ONLY way to remove the FRP lock is to use Odin to revert to 6 with the ROM ending in PL4. You won't find a way while still running 7.
edit: BTW, once you remove the FRP lock, the tablet will update itself, OTA, back to the latest 7 from Samsung. So, don't worry about using 6 to get rid of the lock.

What difference does it make what firmware the tablet is running now? In order to remove the FRP the tablet has to be set back to the PL4 firmware and that can be done no matter what it currently has.
edit: The ability to add a fake wifi entry, highlighting it and choosing "advanced" is the key. That feature is ONLY available in a few Android 6 ROMS. The one ending in PL4 being one of them.

It matters because it's possible to remove FRP on nougat depending on the firmware build.

Then why not just post what version to flash and how to use it to remove FRP? Rather than, "what version are you running?", flash version "xyzzz" and do "such and such". Personally, I'd like that info if, and only if, it is easier than the 6 method. And doesn't cost any money. If you are selling something, then forget it.
edit; I take that back. If the OP can't figure out how to use the 6 method, and you can sell them something using 7, then more power to you.

Are you for real?
Do you think I'd spoil a perfectly good rep on these forums to sell something that can be obtained for free? In future do your research before replying to members with 'Recognized contributor' status.
Also no, I will not post up the method for general consumption, so any Tom **** and Harry can breeze by and happily bypass the security on a questionably obtained device.

Yes, I'm for real. How about you? There is already a method for bypassing the FRP posted here for any Tom **** and Harry. If you are so concerned, take the whole thing to PM. Otherwise, your playing coy makes it look like you have something to sell.

I will take it to PM if the OP needs further assistance.
I don't care if a method is available already for MM.
I appreciate if you'd quit with the ridiculous assumptions.
I am not, never have done or ever will sell something on XDA.
I do what I do for free. If you'd actually take the time to do a little research, you be aware of that, but obviously not.
I'm not going to get into a tit for tat with you as it pointless and will refer this to a mod if it goes any further.
Let's keep it on topic.
