Root [MetroPCS] 4.3 update?

Hey guys so I have the Metro S4 and I'm thinking about trying one of the Knox free Roms but everyone that doesn't update their modem to the mk2 modem has issues. My question is if I Odin just the mk2 modem just like everyone else on T-Mobile is doing will I be ok? I know the Metro S4 is almost the same as the T-Mobile S4 but I'd like to make sure before I try it and mess anything up haha.

That may be true for the Tmobile phones but I dont think its necessary for us as we have a different modem altogether. No one has mentioned that issue here and I know some (like me) have flashed Tmobile 4.3 roms.

I used the rom below and all was well.

No modem flashing was necessary.

in my the opinion after the 4.3 update I think you should do a factory reset. my phone was acting funny and the battery was draining faster than usual, but after the factory reset it seems to have smoothed out All the bs.

I'm getting ready to install the update. If I notice the same behavior, I'll post it here before and after a factory reset.
