oh.....i forgot to ask another thing.if i flash this stock rom, am i able to flash new kernels any more.

You are able to flash custome kernels as long as you have unlocked bootloader, if you relock it youll only be able to flash stock kernels via flashtool, correct me someone if I'm wrong

If you relock your bootloader after flashing stock rom (which I think is neccessary for updating to official ics BUT I'm not sure) you need to unlock it again and then you'll be able to flash new kernels.

But you need not lock your bootloader. You can download flashtool and then flash the ftf files that you will get here in XdA as soon as the update is released. So that way your bootloader remains unlocked, and yet you will be running 4.0.4.

if u lock your boot-loader then you cant install custom kernel... but as long as your boot-loader unlocked you can install any kind of sk17i kernel!!

Agree. relocking is neccessary for OTA updates & since ICS wouldn't be over the air so you don't need to relock your bootloader. But I prefer to keep my bootloader locked when I'm on stock rom because there might be some OTA updates in the future

SUS and PC Companion will fail with installation, if bootloader has been unlocked with the official way.

Correct. So Lasanda should just use flashtool and flash the ftf he will get once the update is online. Its simple.

But I think once you relock your bootloader that doesn't matter which way you did unlock it & either way works to update the phone. Am I right?
