Nexus 4 with Jelly Bean 4.2.2 AND LTE

I consider myself lucky to both own a Nexus 4 device AND live in Canada.

Why ? Because I can benefit from the "hidden" LTE capabilty of the Nexus 4 ;-)

LTE was working well with 4.2.1 but when the OTA update to 4.2.2 came out, I was glad to find this post :

and this procedure worked successfully for me.

Here is a link to the original 4.2.1 image that Google removed from their site :
