Well since the Jelly Bean update (4.1.2) was pulled at T-Mobile's request because of too many damned bugs and problems, I still get basically zip when I do the URL effort, no matter how many times I attempt it.

There's just nothing there to download for the P769, as I suspected once I did the research and discovered T-Mobile had it yanked and it's being redone for later release. I'm not missing anything at the moment so it's not a big deal I suppose.

tl;dr I have the P769, which is T-Mobile's variant, and there's nothing to download at this time.

can i ask for a photo attachments to this as an example? please? thank you!
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] ramimz:
First, Thank you Nathan.7118391 for this share. :good:

You can do it much shorter.

1. get your IEMI by typing in *#06# into the phone dialpad (mine is 014160007655919)

2. copy this link, delete my IEMI and enter yours.

csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=014160007655919

3. download your original firmware.

I am having trouble connecting to Wifi since I've started using 4.2.2 roms. There was no trouble when I was using a 4.2.1 rom. My wifi switch will not move to on. When you click it, it says turning on wifi but nothing happens.

I am currently using [Official PACman All-in-1-ROM Ver. 22.0.1[4-3-13] .

I have Hboot 1.14, S-On. Do I need to have S-Off to connect to Wifi?

Thanks

Anybody have an idea of what's wrong? I'm running Rohan's test kernel C
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I'm not sure how to fix it, my fiance's phone has the same problem. I can tell you that having s-off won't fix it though, that merely turns security checks off, it's completely unrelated.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Megadoug13:
You have to flash boot.img through fast boot
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
You probably need to update your firmware to JB. There is a conflict between ICS firmware and the JB base that can cause your wifi to go haywire.

You do need to be s-off first, however, or you may get a brick running the RUU.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] zooobair:
i always do "fastboot flash boot boot.img", not working.

how can i go about upgrading the firmware?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
Run the 3.17 (non-US) or 3.18 RUU (AT&T), depending on what phone you've got. You need to be s-off first or you may brick if you are supercid. You'll lose root, but getting it back is just a matter of pushing custom recovery back on and flashing superuser. You'll also need to downgrade your touchscreen firmware to use an AOSP rom; there's a thread in the Original Development forum on how to do it.

I'm not guaranteeing this will solve the problem, but I was having similar issues and this solved it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] zooobair:
i figured out getting s-off. so after i run the 3.18RUU, do i have to use the following root method?http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2285086? Sorry if I'm asking so many questions, just a little confused.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
No. You can just flash recovery after ruu. Then either flash a rom or flash superuser if you want to stay stock rooted.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
Correct, once you're s-off, you can never permanently lose root. No need for any exploits as you'll always have the ability to push a custom recovery back on and flash what you like.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] venelar:
I've been thinking about RUU'ing and starting over. Been having wifi and connection problems in general. Seeing as im s-off, do i need to change my cid back before running the att RUU? I seem to remember there being a conflict when the JB ota came out.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ronnie498:
No need to change cid
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Don't need to relock bootloader, change cid or anything else if your phone is s-off, to ruu.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] venelar:
Word. Weekend project.

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] zooobair:
so i did everything mentioned, put on the 3.18RUU, installed recovery, downgraded the touchscreen firmware, flashed new rom and kernel. still no wifi working. any other ideas guys?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Sounds like a hardware fault to me if the RUU didn't fix it unfortunately.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] zooobair:
I would think so as well, but it is working fine for me if I use 4.2.1 roms. Do you think that's still the case?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
If it's working PERFECTLY on 4.2.1 then I would say it's not a hardware issue. And I'd also say I'm completely stumped as to what's causing your problem.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] zooobair:
Damn. It's definitely working ok on both the 3.18RUU and 4.1.2 rom. Not sure what other measures I can take to try to get it right.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Which 4.2.2 ROMs have you tried so far?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] el_chiefo:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] el_chiefo:
Oh, I understand that and I've seen the many posts regarding the speculation of when this and what not, the only difference with my post was that there was an official release leak of 4.2.2 for the S3 which means the Note 2's release shouldn't be to far off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zorachus:
Didn't Samsung announce last week that the 4.2.2 update for the Note 2 is coming soon, possibly 2 to 3 weeks per the big Sam tech sites ?

Yeah, what i meant was that I've given up on service providers actually releasing new updates, as has Google, apparent given their attempts to de-centralize updates (releasing the AOSP keyboard, camera, etc). 4.3 is confirmed, although it will not be KLP.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] robfactory:
I just called Sprint because my mom uses an LG Optimus S™

She consumes about 5-6 mb of data per month, but since it's a "smartphone" she has to get charged the $10 fee.

Well, I called in after having been with the phone for a couple of months and asked (Not told) if I had to pay for the fee since she only consumes about 5-6mb of data and doesn't really utilize the phone to its capabilities.

After putting me on hold of a min or two, she came back and told me that they evaluated her account and data consumption and will issue a $10 credit monthly to cover that.

I was reminded a couple of times that I should be paying for it because of the type of phone. Also, once I switch to a new phone the discount will be voided.

Still, their customer service really helped out. That's a $120+(taxes) yearly savings.
