Unlocked, rooted Pantech Flex P8010 But no Internet

Ok I have a rooted and unlocked Pan-tech Flex P8010. It originally was an AT&T locked Phone till

I unlocked it (semi-successfully) and hooked it up to my current T-Mobile account. AT&T refused

to give me an unlock code, so I bought one online. Worked smooth as silk for everything, well

except the Internet. In accordance with T-Mobile Support using a template they provided me, I cut

down my T-Mobile sim card and made it into a Micro sim to fit the Flex and all seemed OK except

my mobile network state shows disconnected even though all of the areas to activate data have

been checked off. But that's only part of the issue. I believe if I upgrade my android version

from 4.0.4 Ice Cream to 4.4 Kit Kat it just might work that glitch out. However I can't get an

upgrade from AT&T, where my phone heads to in order to get it's updates. So I need a website

where I can actually DOWNLOAD a copy of 4.4 and update it manually myself while being hooked up

as a PC data mode, etc. I'm not even sure that would work. Any suggestions?
