I think you might be confused with unlocking a sim card. Rooting does not need nor does it used a code.

My reason for rooting is getting the device unlocked. I have just learned at&t will not give the original owner and their customer the unlock code. Will downgrading lead me to get it unlocked?

Ok, so I have used Odin to load the MK2 onto my s4, but now after it has rebooted the phone is stuck on the at&t logo. Any ideas what I should do at this point?
Thanks It worked. Now after a successful reboot I am not able to turn the WiFi on. When I swipe to ON it goes back to OFF immediately. The OS is now 4.3, however the baseband is still NB1. Is that how it supposed to be?
You have to flash the bypasslkm zip via safestrap found here http://d-h.st/w92 to get WiFi working and yes its supposed to be like that

Great. The wifi is fixed and now I need to unlock the sim. I got the region unlock app installed but when I run it it says something about the csc file. I have read I need to flash the csc file through Odin but will I not lose everything (downgrade, root, fixed wifi) after I do so? Please advise.

Ok the problem now is that after I run the Universal Init.d app it says "your kernel does not have init.d support. The wifi works when running nb1wififix, but only until I reboot. Then I have to run the patch again in order to enable wifi. Please help.
Another issue I'm having is with the RegionLock Away 1.3 app. When hitting region unlock I get a message "could not locate csc data!" Where do I get the csc file from? And will I lose everything I have done so far (downgrading, rooting, modem flash, etc) after I flash the file through Odin?
Yeah after every boot you will have to turn wifi on and as for the unlock question ,
1. Root the phone on**MK2.
2. Download and install Safestrap.
3. Download MF3 modem from here http://d-h.st/ReU
4. Install the modem using Safestrap from the stock rom slot 5. Reboot the phone, go to settings, and confirm you are on the MF3 modem. (this will not affect KNOX or bootloader)
6. Run RegionLockAway 1.3
7. Shut the phone down and insert any other carrier sim and turn the phone on, or leave the sim in after installing the MF3 modem, bypass the code unlock screen and then run RegionLockAway 1.3
8. Reboot and you should see it activate your carrier.
9. You can also flash back to MK2 if you like. (optional)

I'd appreciate if whoever tries to help to read my post carefully. It is frustrating having to repeat myself over and over. Again, I am getting error with csc file not in place. I NEED the csc file and how come the link to the file is not in the first post?? If I flash it through Odin, will I lose the root?

After a successful downgrade from nb1 to mk2...
I am running a semi-working MK2 and after flashing the bypass via safestrap to get the wifi working, will I be able to flash a custom rom such as Cyanogenmod or any other stock Android rom if that?

64.4.2 is a new release so currently there is not a root method. As of my last reading there is some significant progress in finding a root method. This is definitely not an obscure phone model. Just a brand new update that developers are still working to root.

This is the only option. All you have to do to mount system is a quick flash of one package in ODIN, and then you just have to do another ODIN after you finish flashing in recovery. It's not that bad really.2
That's the problem then. When the phone is off hold power+home+volume down when prompted press volume up.1
