Hello? Yes, I'm a noob. I tried to read and understand, but was not able to.
I have bootloader unlocked and rooted 4.4.2 stock in my m8.
I want to install the 4.4.3 roms.
My simple question would be what are the steps to get 4.4.3 radio? installed
wait to make it clear you only want the radio of 4.4.3 or the whole rom ?
but if you want to install the rom you need to have sometype of custom recovery after you installed that (you can do it through rom manager app on google play)
after that choose your rom that you wanted to install and then just flash it using the custom recovery

You didn't mention your carrier, but essentially you want to update to the latest firmware first, then flash a 4.3 ROM. To get to the latest firmware you either take an OTA from your carrier, which requires being completely stock with stock recovery and no changes to system, or flash a firmware file that someone has extracted from the OTA package. The latter is imo easier if you are already on a custom recovery. The development forum for your carrier likely has a post dedicated to updating firmware.

Go to link i posted to get your vzw firmware up to date. An fyi when you said radios you meant firmware an the radios is inside the firmware zip. After you update firmware you can flash 4.4.3 ROMs.

Hello
had a question on if anything special is needed to go from lolipop and downgrading to kit kat or do i just flash like normal
I though i saw something about needing a special zip file in a thread but i just want to be sure i may be confusing it with the proximity zip or something
Thanks for answers
There's no such thing as a proximity zip. I think what you're referring to is the firmware zip. When going from KitKat to Lollipop you need to flash the Lollipop firmware and the Lollipop modem. When going back from Lollipop to KitKat you need to flash the KitKat firmware and the KitKat modem.

Thank you for this. I was wondering the same thing. I am about to flash LP for the first time in a while so I am glad I ran into this great info!

Strange, I have never had to flash the modem separately.
What exactly does it do?
I'm now running Lollipop YNG1TAS17L. I updated from KitKat to Lollipop via an OTA link using TWRP recovery. Should I still flash this Lollipop modem?

No
The OTA did it for you automatically
Please do not flash any modem on it unless you are facing issues with your radio(network connectivity)

I just tried what u suggested, but it didn't work. I am on CM12s and I want to try PA 4.6 Beta 6. So I downloaded kitkat firmware and two modems too ( the two kitakat modems with 'Full' prefix. I went to recovery, flashed the firmware, then tried to flash the PA ROM. It showed an error, like "can't go back to old version Nov from new version May". It also showed error in update binary script. Then I flashed the modem and firmware, and tried to flash PA again, but it didn't work. Please, help me. I wanna go to PA kitkat.

What error did you get when flashing the ROM?
@Heisenberg
See the pic attached. It goes like:
"Can't install this package (Mon Nov 3 .....) over newer build (Mon May 25 .....)
E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/MODs/Downloads/pa_bacon-4.6-BETA6-20141103.zip'

Alright, first things first. I can see you're asking the same question in the PA thread, please don't double-post, only discuss an issue in one place at a time.
Is that a themed version of TWRP you're running? And did you wipe properly before flashing? The error you're getting suggests to me that you're not wiping properly.
I did a full wipe: wiped system, dalvik, data, and cache. And sorry for double-posting. Was li'l impatient.

And yes, it is themed version of twrp, 2.8.6.1

I'm unsure why it isn't working for you then unfortunately. I can only guess that the wipe isn't working properly because the installer is still able to detect the previous ROM. It might be worth flashing the stock TWRP instead of the themed version as that might be causing the problem.
Okay. Will try the same procedure with stock trwp.
Edit: @Heisenberg[/MENTION] The same error with stock twrp. Have a look.

I can't see the text in that image. I'm not sure mate, does the same problem happen with other ROMs?
Woohoo! I finally did it. @Heisenberg PA 4.6 Beta 6 flashed successfully. What I did was just RESEARCH. As you said that the error has got something to do with TWRP, I searched for CWM. I then went into Philz Recovery thread. Just scrolled down for download links. Read this somewhere, "To flash older files, use recovery version 6.02.2- . Then I got the link to download CMW touch recovery version 6.0.5.0. And then the magic began. Wiped everything, installed cm11 firmware, and then installed PA. And now I am running PA. Anyways, thanks for giving the hint about TWRP.

Cool man, good to see you worked it out.
Thanks. I just want this information to be available to all those who want to downgrade. Could you just update the OP.

I'm reverting back to KK.
I've installed the firmware you provided, and the Full-YNG1TAS0YL-modem-flashable.zip modem. Then I've installed slimsaber (4.4.4) and Zane's boeffla kernel from here http://boeffla.df-kunde.de/zanezam/linaro/bacon/cm11.0/stable/
The proximity sensor is broken, any fix my friend?

Probably because you flashed a Lollipop modem on a kitkat rom?

Flashing stock boot.img should do the job.
Ok, where can I find this for B389?

Download the firmware finder and search for b389 and download update.zip and extract it using huawei update extractor and extract boot.img and flash the image using twrp.
Or ask some one give the boot backup
i did flash the stock boot.img but it gets into bootloop
Hi,
I currently have TWRP installed. I'd want to revert to the latest stock ROM and remove TWRP.
How could I do that?
Thanks

Using LGUP + UPPERCUT. Download the KDZ and manually flash it with LGUP.
