I haven't seen a thread for this yet and some people who are running old firmware don't know about this so I thought I'd post it for those that are running old firmware and want to flash ICS Roms without updating to the latest leak. This will work for any .22 based Rom I have tried it on so far. Some devs mention it, others don't. I do not know who made this patch but it came with Scroslers Cleanrom and I thank him for it. If you have constant reboots after flashing a .22 based rom, this is for you.
Hope this helps.

every ics rom thread has a patch listed..... and for clearity... Joel was the brains behind the patch... while we may not of used his exact files he was the one that informed us of what files needed to be replaced

If you flashed one of my ics hboot combos then you no longer need to flash the new/old firmware patch after flashing a ics Rom
And I haven't done this myself but flashing the new firmware patch on top of a gingerbread Rom should alow you to use ics firmware on a gingerbread Rom
As for that error I have no idea why your getting it, maybe a bad download or a app conflicting with something, afaik nothing with the firmware or firmware patches will cause that issue

If you are s-on, you have to make sure the kernel/boot.img is flashed after you flash the ROM. If you are trying to flash an RUU, you have to be locked.
Also, if you are on ICS firmware and trying to run a GB ROM, you'll need to flash the newfirmware patch. http://www.androidfilehost.com/main/-Support_Files-/SuperChilPil/
Hi, I'm fairly new here and I've read that if you flash a GB 2.17 base ROM while on the 2.17 firmware it will make for a better experience. My question is where can I download this and what would be the procedure while flashing ROMs? Can someone please enlighten me because I want to bring out the best in my phone.

Here is the AIO for 2.17 - LINK. You would put this on the root of your sd card, then go into bootloader and let it do it's thing. Will automatically ask you to update.
Then just find the 2.17 ROM you would like to install and flash it.

Does this mess with hboot or bootloader (i.e. upgrade it from 1.4 to 1.5)?
I don't think so. Freeza usually removes HBOOT from his zips. May want to wait for someone else to confirm. Although, if you're already S-OFF you can just download the file in the sticky to go back to 1.4.

Does not mess with bootloader. In the linked post, he does however state that he assumed it was to be used with 1.4.

Don't know what you have as a back up, but I would do a clean install of a 2.17 ROM after you install the 2.17 firmware.

Sorry I have the stock ROM as a backup. Not sure what the base is although I'm sure it's not 2.17. It's whatever is installed after achieving s-off and downgrading. Is it recommended for the battery to be at 100% before flashing a new ROM?

Not necessary for the phone to be 100% charged for flashing. I wouldn't flash with anything lower than 50% though.
Okay so I flashed that zip through the bootloader but I'm still on the 1.13 base. I though that was supposed to upgrade to the 2.17 base

You have to flash a 2.17 ROM. The 1.13 base is ROM, has nothing to do with the firmware that you flashed.
the link has been modified to ONLY flash parts of 2.17, the radio and a few others things i believe BUT it wont make your HBOOT1.5 or change your S-OFF status or hurt you, when u update youll notice only the first few items in the big list off the update, actually get updated.
its exactly what you were asking for and its safe. just make sure u download the file correctly and copy it over correctly. anything wrong with this file can brick your phone since its concerning your bootloader.
Ok I'm either not getting something or I'm totally over thinking this does this have to be flashed before flashing every 2.17 ROM? Do i restore a certain ROM to flash it and then flash another ROM? If someone can detail the flashing process for this I'd greatly appreciate it (including when and what to wipe)

Since you have already flashed the 2.17 firmware, all you need to do is flash a Rom. You do not need to flash the firmware again.
Find any 2.17 or ICS based ROM and flash away. Be sure to read the OP to see what works or not. When I choose a ROM to flash I always read a few of the last pages on the thread to see if any issues are being discussed.
When flashing a new base ROM, it is advised to do a backup. I backup sms,mms,call history, apps, and then do a full wipe prior to flashing. This can help alleviate any potential issues from one ROM to the other.

You don't flash it in recovery at all, you flash it in bootloader by renaming it pg86img.zip, putting it on the root of the sdcard, and let it flash, after that you have the firmware and won't have to worry about it again.

Could be that Kies also updated your bootloader.
Just try to flash an GB ROM.
If you experience any booting issue, you may have to flash an GB bootloader.
You can find the different bootloaders here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16781156&postcount=2
Just look for a grey box with red text.
You can flash the bootloader in PDA section of Odin - same way like for the ROM or kernel.

Heat issues usually solved by a wipe, modem change, kernel change.
If you have not wiped, it's a good time now, as you have to do it anyway when you go from ICS to GB.
Firstly.. I'll admit that I didn't read as throughly as I probably should have.. I have rooted several phones with the first being the original Motorola Droid and then a couple others.. All fairly tricky but for the most part no big deal... Anyway, I had no idea what S-ON or S-OFF meant nor was it very easy to find information such as this explained in detail..
Anyway, here is where I'm at..
1. Running S-ON, ICS w/ Slim 1.6
2. Phone has a tendency to reboot when it feels like it.. hasn't been too bad but seems to happen more when it's on 4G
3. Phone will NOT allow me to mount the internal storage nor the sd card when I plug into a computer.. like I mean it's not even an option, all I get are charge and internet tethering options..
4. the BIGGEST issue.. I can not tether whatsoever.. I've tried several apps such as Barnacle & PDAnet but none of which work.. I'm sorry I'm just used to the days of my incredible where it was very easy to tether and install ROM's all day long so I guess I was spoiled..
Any help would be appreciated.. the more I read though the more that S-OFF will offer and am I correct to have read that if I do the S-OFF I can turn my phone back to a "locked" status in the boot loader and in turn can also put back to completely stock??
Thanks!

So after checking into some things I tried going a different route..
I downloaded Nils' Business ICS 4.0.3 Sense 3.6 (ICS Latest) (Aroma Installer).. followed the instructions.. installed with S-ON etc.. everything seemed fine.. NOW it won't stop rebooting after I configured Gmail & my work E-mail.. I can't boot into the bootloader menu unless I remove the SD card because it tries to flash the PH98IMG.zip as soon as it loads..
SO what to do next?? HBOOT I have the following information
UNLOCKED
VIGOR PVT SHIP S-ON SL
HBOOT-2.11.0000
Radio-0.95.00.1118r/0.95.0.1223r

HELP please!!
.make sure you install the kernel and the gb firmware patch...these 2 things missing will cause bootloops .
If you have issues ask in Nils thread and I am sure he will help you out. I have been s off and on ics firmware for awhile prior to the aroma install method. Otherwise I could help you out more
Edit: you will want to select the first 3 boxes on the aroma install screen...Rom...kernel...gb firmware patch
Not sure how the installer works after that...but that's a start.
Edit2: you are currently on gb firmware, in the future if you run a gb Rom you will need to flash the gb kernel for the Rom. Any ics based rims will require the ics kernel AND the firmware patch. Without the firmware patch your sd card won't show up properly. The wrong kernel will end up in boot loops. Hope this helps explain things a bit.

Thank you very much for the help... I really thought I was on ICS firmware.. I know this sounds stupid but isn't Android version 4.0.3 ICS??
OH WAIT it just hit me.. So my ROM is 4.0.3 but the kernel is still GB.. I gotcha.. so of course my next question is.. can I upgrade to ICS firmware without S-OFF or is that a requirement???
I think what I'll end up doing is just flashing GB ROM but curious what would be needed to get to ICS firmware and can I get back again?
You can upgrade to ics firmware (via ics ruu). However with s on, you can only run the ruu you are currently on and/or newer versions/leaks. With s off you can run any ruu you like.
Basically you never ran an ics ruu, so your firmware is gingerbread. You can run either gb or ics. With a gingerbread Rom, you would flash Rom and kernel. With ics Roms, you'll need to flash Rom, kernel, and firmware patch.
If you decide to upgrade and run a ics ruu it will upgrade your hboot, radios, and change the mount point for the sd card. The mount point change is the reason for the firmware patch. After running an ics ruu you will have ics firmware. Running a ics Rom, you'll flash Rom and kernel. If you change mind and want to go to a gb Rom, you'll need Rom, kernel, and firmware patch.
So depending on which version or way you go depends on the method of flashing a Rom. Firmware is independent of roms, and the only easy way to change firmware is via a RUU.
Supposedly the ota is coming soon, supposedly the latest leak is the ota, supposedly the s off exploit will not be able to be patched.
I decided to s off...there's many threads with lots of info...so if you decide to go that route take time, read, and read some more. It's not too hard just take your time and don't get frustrated.
Once s off, most roms flash the kernels automatically, saving you a step. You can also run any ruu you want. Ruu is like a factory image that wipes the phone and upgrades radio, etc....basically it will be like you first got the phone and turned it on.
Everyone has different experiences with radios, some are betterfor some, others worse. Overall the new ics firmware seems to be better on battery and network speed for me at least.
There's many ways to proceed....however most roms that are being worked are ics based...and will be more so when the official ics ota hits.

ICS is the way to go, and for it to run properly you should run the latest RUU leak. This will give you the correct firmware. Once you flash the recovery of your choice back onto your phone and re-root, you really should S-off. Amon-Ra is the best initial Recovery choice, because it'll root anything, right there in recovery. S-off simplifies EVERYTHING. From there, you can flash the ICS Rom of your choice, and not have any of the issues you've been reporting.
With S-off, you can flash whatever radio you want, put a different boot-up splash screen on, and the kernel installs automatically when you flash a Rom.
It's a little time consuming, but it isn't difficult. There are threads from some very helpful guys here that explain how to do everything. So when you have some time, I suggest you just go for it. You'll be glad you did.
Best of luck,
BBEgo

I'm still a little leary on doing the S-OFF so I have a question on this.. What do you mean by this?? What has to match to be able to run ICS ROM's.. Are you saying the ICS Firmware version needs to match the ICS ROM?
Hi. So I installed a 3.14.605.5 leak, and started to have bootloop issues. Prior to this it was s-on, unlocked. I now know I probably needed to flash the ruu twice, but I only did it once. I think I read instructions from a bad source. Since then I've done s-off successfully (since I was on the right firmware) and installed Rezrom s4 2,5. It boots up and works mostly ok, except going to the dialer crashes the phone and reboots it. Every time.
So now I'm wondering what I have to do. do I need to revert back to a leak?
thank you so much...

Ah...now we see something...you have the latest ICS hboot, 2.25...but an older GB radio...not good to mix and match... So flash [ICS][2.25][JB][5-7]PH98IMG.zip
this file from http://www.androidfilehost.com/main/-Support_Files-/SuperChilPil/
This will flash the joupunut bear hboot and the latest radios... rename to ph98img.zip, boot into bootloader and let it flash. Be sure to delete, change name of the file after. This should work!

Ah...now we see something...you have the latest ICS hboot, 2.25...but an older GB radio...not good to mix and match... So flash [ICS][2.25][JB][5-7]PH98IMG.zip
this file from http://www.androidfilehost.com/main/-Support_Files-/SuperChilPil/
This will flash the joupunut bear hboot and the latest radios... rename to ph98img.zip, boot into bootloader and let it flash. Be sure to delete, change name of the file after. This should work!
