When on AT&T rom when it says 4g its actually HSPA whereas on the international rom it will show as the H symbol. When on LTE on AT&T it will say LTE and on international it will say 4g.

Hello,

Have you tested Lt28i working with Ad-hoc wifi supply? I have not succeeded in using wifi via Ad-hoc supply from my laptop. Anyhow, please tell me anyway that I can use wifi from my laptop, which uses Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection and not supported to use "connectify" software.
Thanks!

im trying to flash the generic gb so i can then install ics. But when attempting in flashtools this is what im getting.What in the world am i doing wrong? The issue seems to stem from powering off the device and then putting it into flashmode, right after that i get the error. Can someone help me.

Maybe a bad download. Have you tried re-dling .111?

My service with ics is horrible, a client of mine has Verizon and download speed was 42mbps! While i got 3...

Also camera force closing, and has trouble focusing, contacts keep disappearing, wifi signal cutting out too, im sure ive done something wrong.

Maybe i should try the stock at&t baseband? Or just redo everything, what a royal pain. Is anyone else having any of these issues?

My best advice is to start from scratch. Completely wiped nothing setup .111 firmware then do the root/ICS upgrade process. This is the best/only way to eliminate or reduce the risk of issues.

i had similar errors couple times, and im not sure if im going crazy, but it looked like i was holding volume down for short time, like i was releasing it to fast, and next time when i was holding it for a bit longer everything was ok

Once done you should have Root, ICS, LTE, and tethering ability.

Will this work on LT28h too? the H does not have LTE, so should we still check exclude baseband?

The LT28h never came with GB if I remember correctly. You might be able to flash the .111 GB firmware (exclude baseband) then follow the rooting procedure and flash to the LT28h ICS ftf (you can include the baseband if you want) and see if that works for you. Theoretically it should work as long as there is no issues flashing the LT28i firmware onto a LT28h

Confirmed that it works with the lt28h too.

this will appear only if your cell phone's boot loader is locked...
unlock the bootloader and simlock will be turned off and your flashing will continue.
also right click on the flashing software and run as administrator after unlocking the boot loader.

Um no bootloader lock has nothing to do with flashtools when flashing a stock ftf. You can flash with a locked bootloader all you want if you are flashing a stock firmware ftf.
