I am running the 215 leak and have done nothing else to my phone.
When the new ics update comes out will I have to go back to 211 or just update my phone?
Thanks

pretty sure you have to be stock to get an over the air update, you can use matt's utility to get back to stock. very easy to use.

No you're going to want to choose the Fastboot option. (I think its option 1).

Fastboot Restore 6.16.211(ICS4.0.4 Official OTA Software?

That's it. I assume you know how to put your phone in AP Fastboot mode?

Not 100% sure but I can search for the answer.
Thanks

Yep that's it. If you should brick and can't get in to your device, holding all 3 physical buttons while the device is off works too.

Sounds like you didn't extract the .zip completely, try it again.

None of the utilities have ever given me problems, so I can't help you if that didn't work. Go ask around the Utility threads.

Do you have your phone set to USB debugging mode. And you do not extract the zip file just place the file on the root of your ext SD card meaning just place the file to the external SD card not in a folder.

You'll never take my unlimited data!

Scratch what I said above. Your trying to go back to .211. If so make sure your in USB debugging mode and that your phone says ready to program I believe if fast boot mode.

Well his phone is in Fastboot mode so it doesn't matter if usb debugging is on or not, cause his phone isn't on.

Matt remoted in and we did a few things. Downloaded rsdlite. and a file from the dev site.
After everything loaded I tried to decompress the files and flash it. It fails at step ll/16 flash system system img fail.
Battery is low so I'm recharging it hope thats all it is. I seem to be stuck in the ap fastboot mode now with messages saying flash failed.
When i try and return to regular mode it just keeps going back to apfastboot.
Not sure I'm cut out for this, not having much luck

Good news is you're not totally screwed if you can get into AP Fastboot. If you can get the cell charged, use 1.81 utility to regain 4.0.4 ICS.

Don't give up for another round. Be sure you have a full charge before flashing again.

Doesn't matter what mode your cell is in when fastbooting. AP fastboot doesn't care cause it's in a state all by itself.

hopefully I can get my phone to charge up and try the utility. Guess this may have been out of my scope or technical ability.

I would put myself down like that, just remember in the future if you're gonna be doing anything involving flashing, don't get into it without having at LEAST 60% batter. Some say 70%. Because if you go below the threshold, the phone won't let you flash and if you have no system to boot into, you won't be able to charge up either.

Having enough battery is Step 1 whenever you do anything with your phone.
