guys I am having all kinds of issues with this beta. My phone will show either LTE or wifi and it will still on get online so I have to a hard reboot. (During this time I cannot receive text, emails etc) Some of my contacts are greyed out and I can't even access them though they are listed in contacts.

I see no way to fix this unless I go back to the last IOS 8 firmware. What is threat firmware so I can search for the IPSW and start fresh

If you're looking for the iOS 9 file, we can't provide that to you. If you're an Apple dev, it can be found at https://developer.apple.com/ios/download/

If you're looking for the 8.4 file, it can be found here: http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/ This site just aggregates the official direct Apple links so it's safe.

This is a known issues with this beta and Verizon LTE. Try switching LTE off then on/cellular off and on. Should kick it back to working. I had the same issue. A lot of others around the forum are experiencing the same.
