Once on 246 do not try to go back to 905. Doing so will turn your phone into a very expensive paper weight (i.e. brick the effer). Furthermore you cannot return to the 232 build or lower due to security reasons in the software. If you are not rooted and are going to wait for the official ota then if by chance something goes wrong vzw will have to help you. If you are adventurous search for the House of Bionics thread. You will not have to wait for the ota. :ph34r:

To put it more bluntly:

If you try to go from 6.7.235/.238/.239/.242/.244/..246/..247 tp anything before those you WILL soft brick your phone.

And if some $#!7 for brains tells you he did it in BS or SS and it can be done, don't believe him. You cannot just replace the system file sand have a fully installed version. You only have the system files corresponding to that version.

IOW: ICS OTA is a no going back to GB one way street.
