Questions about official TW

Maybe this information would be interesting for other rooted Tab users as well.
- Is the official released TW the same that was leaked?
- Because there are reports about problems during installing official TW on rooted devices, when can we expect a enhanced TW, maybe a kind dev could reply on this
- Is a TW mod in the works with stock honeycomb look? TW looks rather ugly
Thanks to all the devs out there! You are heroes!

Stock ICS ROM image of Galaxy Nexus?

Been reading GSMArena and found this.
I am an idiot in these stuffs but without the drivers isn't this thing possible to be flashed on our GSII or is it something completely different?
Please delete if this thread is meaningless.

Flashing is always possible, but final result will be a big nice brick

Preparation for ICS via Kies

Ok you been running custom roms root stock roms and now you want to join the rush for official release of ICS .But you have a non genuine firmware /product codes etc .
Simple method of preparing to get the release is one restore your original saved firmware on a clean phone Kies will update once your provider releases ICS .
No saved rom then go to
Check FUS downloader: http://fus.nanzen.se/download.php?id=12
Download and open it find your phone find the original supplier ie Voda Orange TMob etc or punch in your phones original codes and download the firmware .
Backup data and anything you want to save from your phone just in case .A Nandroid backup is useful at this point .
Now open Odin and flash the firmware you just downloaded this will also remove root .Its unzip download to single file .tar.md5 Open Odin put this file to PDA and flash as normal
Connect to Kies and when your phone provider updates you get ICS via Kies .
Above should apply to FOTA updates if they are available as well .
Alternative is to wait for ICS release and grab your copy via CheckFus or grab a stock Samsung ICS rom from the stock roms sources once released .
Or just sit back with your GB and wait for the custom roms to be built on ICS before moving to Android 4 my preferred choice .
ODIN how to

Again all these methods need not be used for ICS but can be used to download the original firmware that can be flashed for warranty purpose as well as upgrades .

Why are you posting this? ICS doesn't come out today. You get mad at others for posting ICS topics and threads, yet you posted one when ICS is not even coming out today.

You can't see the distinction between a guide to prepare your device for updating to ICS officially and a bunch half-baked-rush-to-post threads about the latest ICS release date news?

Good stuff! This should help quite a few noobs and hopefully reduce the amount of 'how do I upgrade' threads once ics is released. Because there will be plenty of them.
Probably a good idea to make a guide for downgrading from ics because, like downgrading from 2.3.6 people will ask that question 100 times a day after release.
I wonder how many times we will have to link this and other helpful threads in the near future.

I think you've missed the point.
This thread is a good idea. I've subscribed!

I have root using Easy Rooting Toolkit [v4.0](zergRush Exploit).
Have downloaded latest matching firmware, but file have extension .enc2 ... what does this mean?
Can I then use Odin Mobile with EverRoot to flash this firmware downloaded using FUS downloader?
And how much will be wiped?
Thanks

great post
willbe very helpfull
don't pay attention to stupid comments

Thanks mate you are going to save me and others a whole lot of typing soon.

Someone always has to moan about something.
Is it stupidity or jealousy maybe ?
This is a useful topic, with no mention of update dates.
Well done.

Look I also believe that there has been too much panic about the bricks because of the LPY kernel. But what you claim is simply nonsense. I has been confirmed by google that there is indeed something wrong. So at least LPY is clearly flawed. For LPF the situation isn't that clear. But to claim something like you just did? Oh my god.

No need for this.

CF-Root Kernal + Kingdroid Rom v2 =Super Brick

Stay Away from Kingdroid Rom v2
Chance of getting Super brick is very very High.

1. This should not be in development forum.
2. Risks are no higher with that rom than any other ICS rom.

not v2 but v2.1 (already removed)

These issues are kernel related. Many threads and announcements have been made about the issue, no need for yet another one.
