I have searched around and I couldn't find anyone that has mentioned this before. If you really want the JI6 and don't want to use Kies and when you hit the "software update button" it shows "no firmware" I found a way to force it.
*****JI6 bricks a lot of phones. rooted or unrooted... so be careful! I would unroot and remove any lagfixes just to be safe. If you're phone gets bricked it is not because of this method. it is because JI6 has issues. if you do get bricked... check out this thread: forum.xda-developers [dot] com/showthread.php?p=8522603#post8522603****
**DUMMY PROOF INSTRUCTIONS!**
If you already have launcher pro:
1) goto your homescreen.
2) menu key, add.
3) hit shortcuts and then activities.
4) scroll down to device management
5) select "com.wssyncmldm.wssAppDmUiMain" and hit ok
6) this will put a shortcut on your homescreen that will say device management with blue and red arrows.
7) open that shortcut up and hit software update.
if you don't have launcher pro or don't know what it is.
1) goto the market.
2) search "Launcher Pro" or "Federico Carnales"
3) look for a yellow icon with a house on it.
4) install that.
5) once installed hit your homekey. select launcherpro but don't select use as default until you fall in love with launcherpro ;]
6) then, follow the steps above
Wao...thanks
Wating for froyo now

Is this for all countries or just the current?
I'm pretty sure its just for the states.
however i was messing around in the settings of that shortcut... and it apears that you can mess with the DM server connection settings and you can mess with a bunch of stuff... so maybe if you change the APN to whatever carrier you are using it would work??
Try it. follow my steps above. goto settings then DM connection settings and edit the network profile apn settings.

This might lead to other cool stuff down the road as well... there are some really cool settings in that shortcut. you can change it to "lab" and "production" profile... so maybe we can get a leaked froyo a little early??

Same thing here! I am completely new on this.
What's launcher pro? I have the American Vibrant but I am using in Germany. Would it work?
This worked for me. Good post. Downloaded Launcher Pro from the market (Free), and then followed these directions. Immediately my 3G arrows were working overtime, and withing 3min I had the OTA available message.

the wssappdmuimain is the first shortcut. Just select it and say ok. It should place a shortcut on your home screen that says device management with a blue and red arrow. Then open that shortcut and hit software update.
Maybe in blind but where is the activities shortcut?

Followed intructions to the T. I would suggest doing it over WIFI.
I click on the shortcut and received the update in less than 2 mins.
Installation over WIFI took 4 mins. Hung at the S screen for 3 mins.
Kept all setting and apps, everything works. GPS locked onto 8 out of 12 sats in less than 10 seconds.
3g signal is increased, wifi signal seems to be increased as well..

The list is alphabetical... so... yeah. right under Daily briefing and DataCreate...
are you in the launcherpro activities list?
Well didnt work for me . I hit software update... the same arrow appear on the top of my phone but they disappeared like in 3 secs! Nothing happened afterwards.
As I have said, does anyone has idea if this would work being overseas? I have the American version, because I bought in NY on Craiglist... But right now I am in Germany.

Try this. homescreen > menu key > settings > wireless and network > mobile networks > access point names
What does it say? whatever is selected and if your data is working... write down that APN.
THEN. if you still have the device management shortcut on your homescreen. go into that. select settings then network profile then for the APN change it to whatever you are currently using for your german carrier.
let me know if this works. if it does not and you need to revert the settings the tmobile apn is: epc.tmobile.com

For anyone interested in changing their PRL, the method is as simple as ever.
This is on a Sprint phone but should work with any CDMA carrier.
*I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE*
1. Be rooted!
2. Find your MSL. I had a hard time getting my phone to give the numbers using the terminal for some reason. It's much easier just to use "Get My MSL," which can be found in the Play Store for free.
EDIT: This app worked for me the first time using it, but no longer does. Download Terminal Emulator from the Play Store, type in "su" and enter it, then try typing "getprop ril.MSL" (capitalization is important)
3. Make sure you have downloaded the phone's drivers onto your computer.
4. Open your phone's dialer and type *#7284#"
5.PhoneUtil should now be open. Click on "Qualcomm USB Settings" and select "DM + Modem + ADB." Remember to change this back after you change your PRL.
6. Plug your phone into your computer; let your phone recognize the phone.
7. Download your preferred PRL from the internet. I usually use 11115, but you can use whichever one you find best.
8. Open "Device Manager" on your computer; click on "Ports" and see which COM port your phone is connected to on your PC.
9. Use the program "CDMA Workshop" to connect to your phone by selecting the correct COM port, clicking "Connect," and then clicking "Read."
10. Go to the "Security" tab and put in your MSL into the box under "SPC." Click the "SPC" button and click "Send." It should say that the phone is unlocked.
11. Under PRL, click "Write" and select the PRL you want to switch to.
12. It should say that it successfully wrote; exit the program and let it reboot the phone when it asks.
13. Enjoy your new PRL!

EDIT: This any cut thing doesn't really work, does it?
i have tried both methods and they both work.
question i have is.
have any of you actually been able to force roam?
i have managed to change the prl quite easily but thin phone will not roam for the life of me which sucks because i live in a 1x area...

I haven't tried force roaming, however I have successfully roamed on the Verizon network (at least according to the "Netmonitor" app).
Any way to get MSL without root? It's just good to have it "just in case". Only time I ever actually used it was to completely deactivate and remove info from my Epic 4G once I had my SGS3 activated.

Preferred Roaming List; it tells the phone when and where to roam whenever there isn't sufficient service coverage from Sprint.
Apex launcher - it doesn't work.
TW launcher - it does.

Hello.
I just connected my Google Nexus 4 to Win8, and I can't get it to work.
I can't access to the Nexus, I don't see the device, though it does appear on the devices, but I can't get into it on windows explorer.
I even installed a driver (though I know I shouldn't have had done that) and still - nothing.
Help?
Try again, because I am on wins 8....no issues at all.

try enabling development mode if it isn't already. I've seen sometimes it won't let you browse the directory without it on

It doesn't report as a drive. The nexus uses MTP for connection. Not UMS like older android phones.
It will show up as a device. Just click there to open in explorer.

From the start menu just type "computer"
Then, scroll down and double click Nexus 4.
does your device manager recognize it. should show under Android Device - Google Nexus 4 ADB Interface
work fine for me, ensure you driver installed successful.
you need to Disable Driver Signature Enforcement :
How to Disable Driver Signature Enforcement in Windows 8:
From the Metro Start Screen, open Settings (move your mouse to the bottom-right-corner of the screen and wait for the pop-out bar to appear, then click the Gear icon).
Click ‘More PC Settings’.
Click ‘General’.
Scroll down, and click ‘Restart now’ under ‘Advanced startup’.
Wait a bit.
Click ‘Troubleshoot’.
Click ‘Advanced Options’
Click ‘Windows Startup Settings’
Click Restart.
I think I had a similar problem, I had to disable USB debugging in the phones settings for it to work.

I think he was getting at the fact that it's not Win 8's fault.
I'm also on Win 8 and 3 PCs and it works on them all with no problems.

I dropped my phone at work unfortunately and now the screen along with the digitizer is broken. Is there any way I could use a mouse to get past the lock screen on my phone to retrieve some of my important data like text messages?
I'm also open to other suggestions besides trying the mouse.

you only need your power and volup/down keys to go into/flash/boot a custom recovery.
Make a nandroid with CWM and save it to your pc, you should be able to use titanium backup to pull the contents out of the nandroid and restore with it.
Weither or not it restores depends on the new device though, but this is true regardless of the method you did to back it up.

I use the other Recovery tool instead of CWM and that only supports touch from what I've gathered :-/
Use adb to pull what you need from your phone

There's an app called "Share KM", Keyboard and Mouse, in Play Store that allows mouse and keyboard on a PC connect to an Android phone via USB cable.
I've tried this on my Tab. But dunno on Nexus 4.
Give it a try, just follow the instructions.

You can flash CWM instead of the touch recovery in fastboot. Look at the return to stock guide and use the very bottom section where it talks about how to root your phone and install a custom recovery. Install CWM recovery and you should be good

I pulled the necessary sms files from my N4 and tried restoring them on my new phone but I get force closes when I open the Messages app and nothing shows up. Any way I can restore them properly?
only way I know how is to use Titanium Backup to same SMS data in XML format. transfer that data to your new device and restore it with Titanium Backup.
Oh, try a USB OTG adatper to plug a usb mouse into your phone. I used to use one to use a mouse with my old Moto Xoom.
Use a PC and go to the play store, find SMS backup +, tell it to download to n4, then use droid explorer or android commander to navigate from PC to phone and open up the app and have it backup all messages
Now download it to new phone and say restore. If that doesn't work try the USB otg cable and a mouse. Otherwise a new screen is about 100$ but simple to replace
