Wow, you guys have never seen a canned response before, have you? They will continue to say it is "planned" and they are "testing for the highest quality" until they day it hits your phone or they can it for whatever reason. Asking the outlets responsible for your update will get you nothing. Because anything but a vague noncommittal answer could get them a class-action lawsuit.
[Thunderbolt General] mbrown3460:
This is real good to hear. Both Htc and Verizon said on twitter its coming. I will be keeping my phone for at least another year when ICS comes
[Thunderbolt General] gammaxgoblin:
The funny thing is I would bet most people in here could care less about the rom, and just want a working ril.

Yep, and kernel source. Nobody here actually cares about the Rom.

The comments at the bottom of this: http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/0...nderbolt-ice-cream-sandwich-update-continues/

[Thunderbolt General] xs11e:
I'm going to make a wild guess and you can all jump on me if I'm wrong... I think that ICS and JellyBean are similar enough that when(if?) ICS comes we'll very likely see JB ROMS as well as ICS.

Agan, just a wild guess....
[Thunderbolt General] Xwickedxtrajedyx:
I think you might be right because the jump from ics to jb is not as big as gb to ics
[Thunderbolt General] havy15:
Yeah they are based off the same thing almost right?

If you mean ICS and JB, then I believe they are technically similar (both 4.X android, blah blah). Jumping from GB to ICS is....a trip.

[Thunderbolt General] npro1464:
If it were days away, wouldn't we have seen a leak by now? I'll believe it when I see it.

edit- Is the TB going to have the same RIL issue it had for Jelly Bean? Are we going to be able to upgrade to JB via devs or are we SOL in that regard.
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
Just because we don't have a leak yet doesn't really matter. It is could be we just don't have a source for the leak.
[Thunderbolt General] SingerGuy:
Re: ics update for thunderbolt just days away!!!

Talk about a biased article with loaded language! I had to leave a comment on it. I pre-ordered my Tbolt from Best Buy and had it in my hands on the first day of release (March 17, 2011). Given the fact that Verizon locked me into a two-year contract and I'm not even eligible for an upgrade until November 12th of this year, "still holding onto" is such a load of BS. How many people can afford to dump their phone before the contract expires and pay the very inflated retail cost to get a new phone? I'd bet almost every Tbolt is still in use by the original owner.
[Thunderbolt General] npro1464:
Just by following the forums, many users jumped from the TB the first chance they got for the Nexus. Others followed with the Maxx. A huge number moved to the GS3. I suspect most of the movement was from using someone's upgrade on their account (that crap is going to end, since none of us want to lost unlimited data). Some may have bought from people on Craigslist. Not many of us are left.

I'm holding out for my contract which, unfortunately, ends in May so that I can get a non-contract GSM Nexus and never have to be tied down again.
[Thunderbolt General] jordache16:
I would have to disagree with you there. I'll bet quite a few TB owners have moved on.

Several people out there are willing to fork over the full price for the new latest and greatest phone. A lot of people will buy a new phone right when it is released and then sell their old one on eBay or whatever to get some of their money back (look at the iPhone folks for example). Not only that but people will break their phone and then opt to buy a better one, whether it be used, refurbished, or new. Take me for example, I just broke my TB this weekend and ended buying a used Nexus for $240 (I'm not eligible for upgrade until January). Even if you don't break your phone, you might just be bored with it or whatever and want a different one so you go to eBay and buy a 'new-to-you' phone without the inflated retail overhead. I know Verizon sells certified pre-owned devices as well that are a little bit cheaper but they are still way-over priced compared to outlets like eBay.

I do think the "still holding onto" bit from the article is a little off base; there are a lot of people out there that still own and use the TB (not just original owners, but second hand owners as well).
[Thunderbolt General] skeet43169:
I've had my x6 Tbolt sense it came out this was my upgrade from the eris they never gave it more than os 1.5 Hell I still have it with 2.3.4 on it but I like my Tbolt even tho I've had so many the refurbished ones all are crap but over all I love it

Upgrading from BAMF Forever 1.10 to ICS via OTA?

I should have said BAMF Forever 1.10. Does anyone know if the OTA Software update will even notify me that ICS is available, or will I have to just wait until I hear that others have the update and then return my phone to factory defaults before trying the OTA upgrade?
[Thunderbolt General] RBarnett09:
You can unroot and accept the stock OTA, or you can stay rooted and wait for a custom ICS ROM.

If you want the stock OTA, you'll have to unroot to get it. Since you're running BAMF Forever, you won't be notified that there is an OTA update.
[Thunderbolt General] tuckandroll:
at this point the Jelly blur 1.3 is an amazing rom ill wait for ICS as long as it takes. At the same time for me lesson learned i will only buy nexus devices from now on. I really hate that the whole premise of android being open source is trampled by the carriers taking so long to release updates. HTC has the source all worked out they should just let us have it there are much smarter people then I that can make it work.
[Thunderbolt General] dbornack:
Has anyone tried to scrape HTCs FTP or download sites, such as dl4.HTC.com. or their Dec sites maybe tobsee if there are files out there that might have the leak?

Okay, so I installed Clockword Recovery and ROM Manager so that I could get Jellybean early. And it was awesome. But now I'm getting bugged about the OTA update, and I kinda want that. Ofcourse, Clockwork Mod Recovery won't let me install OTA, so how can I go back to stock recovery? Because I dislike the idea of not having OTA updates anymore...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WoodroweBones:
Hopefully before you get hundreds of rude entitled responses you should check out some of the stickies on the various forums. I believe there is one with a title that matches exactly what you are looking for
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phazerorg:
If not having stock recovery is the only problem (and there are a number of other reasons an OTA update could fail to install), you can definitely use ClockworkMod to install it.

If the update has already been downloaded to the phone, the zip file will be stored in /cache. Just boot into CWM and flash it. If the update hasn't been downloaded, grab zip file yourself (take a look at the OTA update URLs thread) and flash it using CWM.

If you're rooted, don't forget to also flash SuperSU before you reboot, or use some other method to maintain root. OTA updates will remove root regardless of how they are installed unless you take care.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeX_DK:
Hey People,

I just got myself a SGS3 yesterday and I have been used to using OUT kitchen to change batteri icons etc on my SGS2. But how would I go about doing that on my SGS3?. I think the stock battery icon is hidious and I want battery %. And yes I know I can activate that in settings.

But activating % in settings means my battery icons takes up 2 spots while flashing another battery icon would mena that I could have both and yet only use "1" space on it.

So the question is, is it possible and how.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] BakaPhoenix:
Flash only the webtop from the gb sbf (you can do it using rds lite and deleting all the other lines that arent the one with webtop, or using eternity project fastboot method and modifing the .bat file for flash only the webtop)

and then flash the ics sbf that you can find in the dev forum (the last one you have posted in your post)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] doub01:
Your message was a bit cryptic for the newbie that I am, but it put me on the right track.

I thought the fastboot .xml.zip files were monolithic things, but I had a look at the extracted content, and at the XML file. It appears the "steps" displayed by RSD Lite are in fact described in that XML, and all that application is doing is taking some binaries and writing them to corresponding (named) partitions on the phone (there is a fastboot_image.sh script in the latest ROM I mentionned above that helped a lot confirming that).

And it appears that the 1.6.7.2-180 fastboot file contains no image for the webtop partition, contrary to earlier ROMs. So what happens (I think) is that I corrupted that partition (and maybe others), but successfully flashing the latest fastboot ROM wouldn't fix it because there is no new webtop image in these ROM.

So I did what you suggested. I manually flashed the various partitions (using moto-fastboot.exe), using the webtop image from 1.6.5.1-73, and the rest from 1.6.7.2-180.

I still don't understand why flashing the whole 1.6.5.1-73 from RSD Lite failed. My guess is that the signing keys have been updated, and the phone no longer accepts the signed binaries from 1.6.5.1-73. However it still accepted the old webtop signed image (when I skipped the other ones manually), so maybe there is a different signing key per partition.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BakaPhoenix:
Sorry if i was hard to undestand ^^''

But i was to lazy to write a good guide o.o

So in the end do you fixed?

P.s. The fact that it doesn't accepted the whole old gb is because the ics update signed some partiton, so the older sbf couln't be used since they didn't have the sign, the webtop(and some others) partition can be flashed becase its partition is not signed with the update
[Motorola Droid RAZR] doub01:
Yes, sorry if I wasn't clear. I now have a clean unrooted unbranded retail ICS 4.0.4 :D And a better knowledge of the platform, so I can start customizing it a bit in the future (I especially don't like the booting logo, although I think you rarely have to reboot the system).

Do you know where these signatures are stored, or if it's possible to update them? Or maybe can you point me at some documentation explaining all that in details?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BakaPhoenix:
Sorry but i don't really know about them :D

BTW to change the boot animation is really easy, you need root and an app like es file manager. In the folder /system/media, there is a zip file called bootanimation.

Downlaod the bootanimation that you like and replace it with the stock one and you are done

Hey all; I think I just Bricked mt XT910.

I used App2SD to set & move Contract Killer from one sdcard => sdcard-ext. phone booted without incident except everytime I had to tell the game to load from sd not delete & reinstall... no big deal.

then I read that App2ROM was supposed to make the game load faster if I moved it with this app... since then I can't find the game with App2SD, App2ROM, easy uninstaller, App Quarantine, auto run manager, nothing.. and I kept getting the popup that the game had crashed suppenly before I even get to "desktop".

So I used RazrBootstrap to get into recovery mode to try and delete the CK popup.

It succeeded in restoring the phone to stock; BUT I still have the CK popup. and I think something Identified it as a system app now.

how do I delete / move the CK loader so I can get uninterupted access to the phone to correct the CK issue without the popups.

and as a footnote my system is ubuntu 12.04 can't seem to get the pc to see it either to help with the reloading, as I have all my apps on my pc.

How to fix a Motorola razr stuck in ap fastboot with a low battery

Alternative Low battery in Ap fastboot fix

If this fix doesn't work for you then I have a known working solution. I used a 600ma charger cut the end off and then cut the wire coating back exposing 3/16 of wire. With charger unplugged I attached the red to the + and the black wire to the - terminal being extremely careful not to touch anything else in there causing it to arc and possibly causing damage. I recommend that you download the ifixit app in the market to a tablet or use their website so you can get the help on the removal of the back plate without breaking or cracking it. once removed you can use the torx screwdriver to remove the negative screw. It has a washer too I just placed the wire under there and re-tightened it and then done the same to the positive side.

Now that you have done this you should very carefully flip it over taking extreme care as to not have the wire break or fall out. I placed mine over the edge of the table so I could inspect it before plugging it up. If all is good plug it up the hit vol-+ and power choose fastboot or you can just hit power cause it'll go straight there cause it's bricked and in bootfailure. The RAZR will now say BATTERY OK. Run RSD Lite and install your

VRZ_XT912_6.7.2-180_DHD-16_M4-31_1FF.xml

After it fully installs turn device off and carefully remove everything and snap the back cover on and then power back on. Worked twice for me since it keeps soft bricking every time I use touch clockwork recovery to restore a back up. I NEED HELP WITH Clockworkmod...

O Yeah, If you find this helpful give me thanks my 1 is lonely.. lol
