Most important updates are newest firmware (top choice) from here http://themikmik.com/showthread.php...T-1-05-11-0606&p=220556&viewfull=1#post220556
Rename to PJ75IMG.zip, put on root of ext sd card, boot to bootloader to flash...remove/move file from ext sd card root so it won't run again next time.
Newest kernel is not in this firmware update...get modded version here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1700251 which is recovery flashable or stock here http://themikmik.com/showthread.php...T-1-05-11-0606&p=241703&viewfull=1#post241703 which will need to be done same way as full firmware update...bootloader.

This deserves more than a thanks button. I really appreciate the time you took putting this together.
Coming from gingerbread, I'm having a rough time finding things. Verified the bootloader version, just couldn't find radio version to verify update.

Instead of posting a new thread, I edited this one instead
So here's another theory of mine, the OTA files check cid correct? this is located in the build.prop file? Any others this can be found in that it checks for it?
Dark Nightmare said:
So here's my idea, well first of all I wanna know what changes other than system files, kernel and recovery when you upgrade from gb to ics? Is the Hboot the only other major change?
Since hboots can be upgraded via hboot using a PH85IMG, can we pull the hboot image or possible use the newer shp image we have, upgrade the hboots of mobilicity users maybe their kernels and recoveries as well, though those can be flashes via recovery, yeah, so back to the point here, can we pull the new Hboot from someone on ics or use the one we have, upgrade the s-on gb users hboot then have them flash the system files to manually update to ics? I'm gonna test the theory but since I'm s-off, my results may differ, that's why I need your opinions before we do a test of it.

You can't push the radio without S-OFF, the radio is just as important as the hboot. The only way to flash the radio while S-ON is to flash the entire Update.zip through hboot screen. And if you are not on T-Mobile you need to be S OFF

This isn't for a radio bro, though that makes me wonder why we can't do certain things on the amaze.
This is gonna be a cwm flashable of a telus stock with the mobilicity build.prop so users that are s-on stuck on GB due to them flashing a stock rom and not having a backup or it just not working for them to be able to flash my zip, restore the stock recovery and update with the OTA.
I would be so happy if this works .

Got pass the cid check using the swapped build.prop file, ran into a system's patch error when it checked another app, pm sent to my app provider....
It's not really a smart move to change the CiD without knowing how the radio is for that carrier. And flashing a RUU from another carrier is possible if it's not changing things like hboots
That is some progress
I was trying to flash a couple of different ROMs(Speed ROM and QuickSense), and with both of them I got an error in the bootloader after it went through parsing the PH85IMG.zip that said Lack of heap! I tried Speed ROM first, and got the error, so I tried with QuickSense and got the same thing. I'm rooted stock ICS right now, S-OFF with ENG bootloader. Any help with this is appreciated.

Um...you can rename files once you don't unzip them and once the names have no spaces.

I tried this method on a custom ROM without success but i had a rooted stock rom at hand so i preferred to flash that ROM to apply the method.
However I think it could work if the ControlBear program finds the paths it expects on the filesystem.
In particular it looks for /system/bin/su or /system/xbin/su.
So maybe, after a nandroid backup, you can proceed trying the method on the rom as is and, if ControlBear complains, move the programs it wants in the right path.
I think that proceeding in this way can't harm your phone, however, haven't tried this solution myself I don't know for sure.
thanks man, im downloading a stock rooted pg file right now, i just rename it and put it on sd card and reboot to bootloader?

Well trying to downgrade the touch driver so I can use AOSP rom's, since I bought the phone yesterday and it has hboot 3.1.6 I heard you can downgrade the touch drivers and use other roms (rather then the few that are for the new update)
I've looked around with no real instructions, first person to actually help and post some links and/or good instructions I'll donate a few bucks, Mean bean ROM is legit but I prefer CM on my phone or well any AOSP rom.
You have to be S-Off to downgrade tp drivers. If you are, go here for instructions.

If you aren't S-Off, this is probably the best method for you since you are on 3.16 software

NOT INCLUDED IN ZIP: HBOOT.img, recovery.img (stock), and boot.img
tp_SYN3202.img zip (for downgrading purposes only)
Boot.img Only (signed) | Mirror
Can be flashed through bootloader/fastboot while S-ON on newer HBOOT"
Second/bolded one?
And do I RUU it or flash?
Yes second bolded one. Save it to the root of your sd card, rename it PJ75IMG and just get into your bootloader and fastboot and it'll automatically downgrade.

Use the tp driver listed under the 3.15 firmware update. Put it on the root of your external SD card, and reboot to your bootloader, then run the update from there like you would a firmware update. The file is already named PJ75IMG.zip so there is no need to rename it.
After you're done, delete the file from your SD card.

When you relock you don't loose s-off, so after flashing the desired firmware ruu all you have to do is unlock again with the same blob you used to unlock originally. Then install a recovery and root again. It's not difficult, just time consuming.

Have you tried a gingerbread stock Rom?
Also, you can download the ph85img.zip from my viper Rom or arhd and put it on the external sdcard and boot into bootloader.
See if that helps.
Make sure after you flash the update, you go into recovery and flash the Rom of your choice. And make sure to delete the ph85img.zip from the sdcard so it doesn't flash every time you go into bootloader.
What recovery are you using?
4 ext is preferred for my Rom.
