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!

Moving to General
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 .

Addition a method to spoof firmware codes may be of help to some .

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.

If you bothered to read the post its for people who might want to start preparing their phones in anticipation of the ics release via kies.

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.

Plz search the forum before starting a new thread.
This question has been repetitively asked and answered.
That's a bit of an ironic post seeing as you've just brought up a thread from the 17th of November

I have a coworkers S4 with MF3. I'm looking for a stock rom that has been optimized like clean ROM.
Are there any recommendations for Roms like that?
And will work with safestrap?

Please take the time to do the research and find what it is you desire, stock is stock.
As these type threads end up just like "best rom" threads, and users are expected to do their own research as part of the learning process, this thread is closed.
