[Guide] GB2ICS: Fastbootable Motorola ICS 6.16.211 For All Gingerbread Users
If you are on any of the above build versions, you have multiple options. You can either go directly up, or RSD back to stock. Either way is fine, but I am going to write this article based on the idea that we are going to start fresh, so no old bootstraps, or other safestrap versions will prevent us from succeeding.
Thanks goes out to Hashcode for creating this SafeStrap Compatbile Build.
Thanks goes out to Matt for DD'ng an ICS Recovery.
Thanks goes out to XBot [ ] for hosting all my required files.
