Hi guys,
I started this thread because sometimes it is very confusing digging to threads when topics are device-mixed.
This post should be used only for the issue How to enable "Internet Sharing" = Tehtering on a LG e900 Optimus 7 running with the official WP 7.5 MANGO software (Build 7.1.7720.68)
May be some very helpful hints from same topics for other devices may be "quoted" to give ideas how to iterate towards a working solution.
Best regards Uwe
Here are the facts of my LG Phone:

How did you update to mango ? your wifiSW is different, maybe you didn't get the LG update (my mango update was called "LG Update for Windows phone") ?
Hi,
thanks! The info about FW and WiFi Version may be helpful and worth to follow up!
I first used the Developer RTM Preview Version of MANGO and on Sept. 29th I received announcement of an update available. After that Ih updated via Zune in the normal, official way without problems.
Where did you find the LG-Firmware-Update?
May be its woth to tellt the firmware filename (Version) and the corresponding FW Revisions of each Sub-item e.g. WiFi, cellular, ...
I tried yesterday using update-tool from LG (phone had to be set in emergenca mode) but nothing changed. Also enabling the QC-Composite Mode (the old but working solution of Pre-Mango-NoDo state) is nomore usable.
Maybe there is a link for the firmware. I´m on Vodafone Germany.
Best gegards Uwe
There was no separate LG Update, i did the force update trick by disconnecting after a few seconds.
Then Zune made two updates in a row, first one very quick and second one, very long, Mango itself, which was called "LG Update for Windows Phone".
I'm thinking that bacause on my HTC, sharing connection wouldn't work until after the drivers were updatee (but in that case, it was an additionnal update AFTER mango).
Everything works fine! Problems solved
Hi guys, Vodafone´s new firmware for LG E900 Optimus 7 cures everything!
All you need ist an new FW working perfect with MANGO 7.1.7720.068
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=935578
For Germany e.g. use Vodafone Version
LG-E900AT-00-V10p-262-02-SEP-02-2011+0_DZ which supports Internetsharing as well as USB tehering when switching to QC COMPOSITE mode in MFG App and known modem settings and datamode disabled.
OPEN Market FW
DZ_LG-E900AT-00-V11b-262-XXX-AUG-17-2011+0
OR
DZ_LG-E900AT-00-V11c-NEU-XXX-SEP-05-2011+0
do not support Internetsharing, but USB tethering
Have fun

Wait what? You got an additional Update to the HTC Update for Windows Phone (Mango)
@Ludacris: People who upgraded to Mango retail from a pre-release version got the HTC update (the one that re-enables DFRouter/USBModeSwitch tethering, but breaks TouchXplorer and blocks unlocking using Connection Setup) in a separate update. That's how I was able to interop-unlock my HTC phone with a retail ROM.
@flobo09: If you got the HTC update apart from the Mango update but you *didn't* upgrade from a pre-release Mango version, please explain how you did it!
Yeah, I went trough that upgrade path as I am a registered developer - I am still Interop-Unlocked on Mango (with the HTC Update) aswell but I still can't tether (did not try the USB Method) but if I get this right, this thread is about the official method of tethering (via ICS) - right?
Yes this thread is only for LG E900 Optimus 7 Phone
Don´t mess up with other handsets like HTC SAMSUNG OMNIA7 to keep thread clean.
Also no tweaking like INTEROPS oder DEVUNLOCK is recommended
We all know that those issues are helpful , but this thread is intended for "normal" users, whitout any ambitions for sophisticated Homebrews and Hacks.
Thanks

I just got an update message in Zune on a DE bought Optimus 7 (now in NL on VF business NL sim) and after applying the update, the internet sharing option appeared out of nowhere in settings yay!
It looks like its WiFi only for now though, I would prefer USB tetheringpersonally. IP address of the connected client is 192.168.33.187, and I have an antenna icon in the status bar when enabled. I have to choose between connecting to an access point or acting like one, so you can't have both at the same time which sounds logically to me.

USB Tehtering
Hi,
USB also works like before NoDo...
Just use MFG app to switch USB-Port setting from MS COMPOSITE to QC COMPOSITE, deactivate DATA Connection and setup your CDMA Modem in Windows like described in other threads.
Greets
U.
just a dumb question why is it that WM 6.5 can have the data connection active while usb tethering. My ancient HD2 can do both at the same time...but my HD7 can't dispite having IDENTICAL hardware lol...
I have 2 E900 coming in the mail and it seems pointless to have wireless tethering when the phone is charging via USB....
It's a matter of whether the phone is routing the connection (which apparently WinMo did) or is exposing the cellular modem directly to the USB connection (which is what the wired tethering hacks for WP7 do). Note that the official WiFi tethering feature uses routing and doesn't require disabling data on the phone.
Greetings, few days ago I was in China and bought GN 2014. As most of you know in China they block access to play store and install their own firmware. I already rooted my device, and was wondering how I can enable all languages, because currently, there are 3 languages. And also, How to install play market on it. I tried downloading apk. file, but its not working (Installed but won't open)
Help please. (Sorry if this question is too noobish)
I think that the device then has no Google license, making it impossible. There are only the various other stores.
This is definitely the case with exotics, like car stereos(Parrot Asteroid). In this case theres probably a solution, which of course requires root.
Why don't you try to flash with ODIN some of the official ROMs ? Then you will have no need of ROOT and will have all the languages. What is the model name exactly ?

Flashing an other stock firmware works fine I did it on mine.
But expect some little lag there wasn't on the chinese firmware.
I'm in China too and am considering buying the Note 10.1 so I'll be facing the same problem.
With a Chinese friend's Asus Transformer Prime, I flashed an official Taiwanese ROM so that she could access Google Play, but with this method you no longer get OTA updates. Also, as mickmad noted above, you can sometimes get unpredictable performance issues if you use ROMs intended for another region. Only later did I find that you could just install the necessary Google apps while keeping the original ROM. Here's a method devilfun here on XDA used for the Prime, perhaps it will work with the Note:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21094128&postcount=11
The .rar referenced was a package of Google apps, I think. I haven't checked the package myself, but note that you probably need GoogleServicesFramework.apk and Googleloginservice.apk in addition to the obvious ones. Simple_noob may have been unsuccessful for any one of several reasons:
1. The apks were copied to the wrong location before installation.
2. Not all the necessary apks were copied.
3. The necessary file permissions were not set.
If you can work it out, let us potential Note buyers in China know how you did it!
Well when i said more lag I meant that other region firmwares have all the samsung apps which tends to produce some little lag (where chinese firware has only a limited part of these samsung apps.)
Really no big deal as it will be corrected in future versions I am sure (see the example of mk1 firmware for p600)
Not sure for OTAs thought, but i never waited for them anyway on my other devices.
And just to got the samsung keyboard (and not the one for chinese which is different) it already worst the change .... plus getting rid of chinese useless apps, some settings which weren't in english even the language was set to english ... choice between almost any language ... and so on
Thanks a lot to everyone who replied and helped.
I installed needed firmware and everything works perfectly

I have the same case as yours. I am planning to do the same as you did. Can you help provide the steps on how to flash another stock firmware for Note 10.1 P-601 model? Which region/country firmware did you use?

Just follow these steps :
1, Download any region / country rom from this link , preferable MJB being the latest. http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-P601.
2. Extract the downloaded zip file.
3. Extract the attached odin 3.09.
4. Enter download mode by pressing power+volume down , then volume up.
5. Connect your PC/Laptop to your Note , wait till the com port turns blue.
6. Flash the .tar file of the rom through "AP" & hit start.
7. Wait till flash is complete, & note restarts.
8. You now will have a working PLAY STORE.
other download links or torrents for official firmware
Great info supplied in the above posts ! I also currently have a P601 bought in China and would like to change the firmware but the rapidgator and terafile links aren't working so well for me.
Terafile now has a limit of one Gig for free users and rapidgator downloads keep failing mid way.
Does anyone have any torrent links or other download links for the official firmware?
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
I'm interested as I'm in the same case. Where can I download a good English version (wifi +3G)?
Buy a Samsung tablet from the US (or Europe) next time!

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to connect my Galaxy Note 3 Neo (SM-N7505) to a mini camera "CGO1 Wifi 5.8 Ghz" installed on my drone 350QX3 without success.
After investigation, it seems that Samsung has restrained their smartphones at 5.2 Ghz in Europe (contrary to Apple, iphone 5, 5s and 5c : they are working fine) !
As Wifi is handled by the kernel, I suppose that I've to make some modification of it... so now... is there any way to unlock the 5.8 Ghz (...with the help of app Universal init.d perhaps ?).
Any help would be very appreciated !
Info : no root has been done yet on my smartphone, official firmware is N7505XXUCNG2 with Android 4.4.2, kernel version is :
3.4.39-2244489 / [email protected] #1 / Fri Jul 25 17:41:08 KST 2014
(PS Sorry for my bad English)
Need help to unlock Wifi 5.8 Ghz
I too need help with this. I have a Note 3 N9005 with Aryamod (Lollipop 5.1) and cannot see my C-Go1 camera with my phone. I can connect it to my friends LG G3 and to my laptop.
Bump on this thread.
I was able to connect to my 5.8ghz FPV drone yesterday whilst in the US using my EU stock Note 3 (SM-N9005), but now that I'm back in the UK, it cannot see the drone's network anymore. The network is there however as my laptop can see it but there is no Windows app.
Good evening.
I'm living in Japan and after years of head aches and troubles with japanese-market-only phones I decided to get a new-no-contract-sim-free phone
I chose the Zenfone 2 due to its price and update availability..
It says it should get an update to Android 6.0 but when I tried to update I noticed its only on Android 5.0
No 5.1 or 5.2...
This phone was release in January if Im not mistaken.. is it possible they didnt update it nor fix any bugs in a year ?!
OR...
Does it the next chapter of me getting screwed cause I'm living in Japan?
I've check about the update and it says on their site FAQ that it is possible to update manually... Push a zip file..
https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone_2_ZE551ML/HelpDesk_Download/
The latest version is:
Version WW_2.20.40.139
but I noticed there are WW CN TW and *drums rolling* JP versions...
Now, in some of the other versions I saw mentioning of JP thingy being updated... does it means I can Install a WW version on a JP phone ?
example:
25.Fix JP FlipFont issue
29.Remove BookLive from JP SKU
They write that:
3. Only apply to same SKU update, Example: WW->WW, CN->CN, .
so.. do I have to wait for a JP SKU ?!
My current ver. is:
Android 5.0 JP_2.20.40.97_20150917 (update from 3 months ago? yet still android 5.0!?)
Baseband : 1527_5.0.35.1_0815,1527_7.0.20.0_0723
Kernel version: 3.10.20-x86_64........
Build number: LRX21V.JP-ASUS_Z00A-2.20.40.97_20150917
Again.. is this a regional thingy?
Are all other Zenfone 2 still stuck on Android 5.0?
Btw I've got an unrooted 2GB version...
Thanks in advance to all the helpers
6.0 hasn't come out yet. We are all waiting for it.
Hi the whole "latest" android version thing is a plague caused OEMs and/or the dreadful carriers versions, they always (think they have to) add their flavor on top vanilla (stock) android, be it a launcher (the interface), replacing stock android and/or google apps, sometimes with good and fast results (e.g. Motorola) because they add to stock android rather than changing the whole thing (e.g. freaking Samsung).
You're better off flashing a custom ROM, if you follow instructions CAREFULLY it would take an hour if you're a beginner as it's hard -but not impossible- to brick newer phones.

Question though..
Since its the JP SKU .. will I have problems ?
I had lots of problems on my XPERIAs, since they had JP systems/kernel/everything...
I only have experience tinkering with various japanese xperias... this is my first ZEN so... It should be easier to root and such than sony's... right?
It's easier to root and unlock bootloader than sony! As for changing JP to WW version of the firmware there is a guide how to. No risk of brick since you are familiar with these procedures as i read.
Hi @major9686
Do you recieve the monthly security and bug fix updates?
It seems that the japanese market has both WW and JP SKU phones. Hence the anomaly on the support page.
I don't know, flashing WW might break your cellphone service.
So 2.20.40.97 JP is the version your phone should have.
Yes the stock is still on android 5.0. and in time you will get 6.0 as will we all.
Android 6.0 is confirmed. But will take some time. This is true about most of the phones, except few who gets quick updates. Asus is still better than others.

I dont really like my Asus so far ...
My EeePC gave me problems back in the day, the battery died and I cant replace it no one sells it anymore...
It barely lasted 2 years... now it only runs when plugged and even then lags (even after getting an SSD inside)
My Nexus 7 is also a bit laggy even after factory reset, only bought it 6 months ago
and my recently bought Zenfone 2, already been to repair once but problem still persists. Ear Receiver doesnt work, only if I press the screen around the ASUS logo, some sound gets out.
GPS is messed up, gyroscope as well.
SIM Card 1 is giving me trouble, only after several resets, factory reset and whats not it suddenly became readable without becoming unavailable after every few seconds...
and the most annoying thing, after the repair the USB port became loost, the cable isnt held in place as well as it was before the repair.
But you get what you paid for... so far I had a few Xperias and they all had great build quality. I'm soooo sorry I decided to get an asus this time
whats more, even getting an Asus sim-free I get stuck with the Japanese kernel which doesn't allow me to remove the friggin shutter sound from the camera unless I'll root it
Getting this piece was a big mistake. build quality is sooo bad!
Last Asus I'll ever buy...
In PC components already learned my mistake years ago and changed to Gigabyte...
And dont get me started on being stuck on Android 5.0 ... at least with sony we get 1-2 updates...
I got tired of waiting for an update. Bad battery life and Asus apps using most of the memory so I decided to unlock the boot loader yesterday with their software, rooted and installed Bliss Rom based on CM 6.0.1 witch is awesome
Hi,
I found the latest 2.20.40.164 firmware for Japan SKU on their support website.
NB: This is a full ROM.

Eventually no apps working properly and no apps to download and above that the TV is bloody slow like snail....
