First I am S-Off. I was on the old GB firmware and was running CONs ICS ROM using the GB firmware patch. I then made a nandroid backup via Amon Ra. I ran the new ICS RUU to upgrade my firmware. Can I just restore my old CONROM nandroid or will I have to start over? I assume this won't work, but just wanted to ask before I screwed up my phone. Thanks!

S-off allows you to upgrade AND downgrade.. if u were s-on and tried to downgrade, u would brick ur phone. So I don't see why u wouldn't be able to restore ur Backup if ur S-off.

I think it will work fine if I remember back when I did it.

You need to reverse the patch you installed to get the SD card to mount, other then that it will work fine.
Check the AndroidFileHost link in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614366
It would be the new firmware patch, flash it right after you restore your rom.
Thanks! Nice to have peice of mind before experimenting

Can someone link me to a Gingerbread stock rom or an ICS ROM I can use to perform S-off? I want to try the all-in-one toolkit for S-off because I always get errors with the other one. Thanks.

You may try RUU at below link ( ICS RUU 3.14.605.10 )

Use the stock out of the box rom that you unlocked bootloader and flashed su on. You should have backed it up

You can use any ROM to perform S-OFF as far as I know. I didn't make any special considerations as to what ROM I was using when I did it...

Update firmware. They still come loaded with gb

doesn't need to be updated, just remember to flash an old firmware patch before you boot.
GB ruu it. While they may not notice if it has ics or gb, you're better off being safe than sorry.

You don't 'need' to do anything. However, if it is just out of the box I would recommend this : http://themikmik.com/showthread.php?13780-STEPS-TO-ICS-FIRMWARE-UNLOCK-ROOT-and-S-OFF
The tutorial takes through update of the firmware to unlocking/root to s-off and then whatever you desire after. :good:
At the minimum, I would update the firmware by running the RUU, and then unlocking. Don't unlock first because you'll just have to relock to run the RUU!
As a previous poster commented, you don't have to update the firmware, but I bet you will eventually so get er done now.
There are other tutorials/"all in ones" out there so look and read around.

FWIW, just activated a warranty replacement yesterday. My specific steps were:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash Amon Ra and do nandroid.
3. Flash 3.14.605.10 firmware & ICS leak from bootloader as PH98IMH.ZIP.
4. Run Juopunut's S-OFF
5. Reflash Amon Ra
6. Flash my ROM (see sig).
I also flash Titanium as a zip, and use App2zip. Not everything works when I do things that way, but it takes me most of the way home.
Sent into the innertubes from my Arnova 10 G2.
Ok So I did s-off but used the stock firmware and on gingerbread. I want to install a rom with the new ics ruu leak but I already did s-off on gingerbread and installed the hboot. Do I have to go back to s-on then install ics ruu and go s-off again with the ics version? trying to not brick my phone. I should have changed the firmware before hand but didn't read the FAQ only the instructions. I don't know what to do.
No you can run the ruu without worrying or there's a thread in development with just the radios and firmware that you can flash without having to run the ruu. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614366

I'm not sure what you mean. I would go with the latest .10 I think it has jb hboot 2.2525. That way you have the latest radios and can fastboot flash your recovery without having to unlock

Either stock or JB HBoot should be fine, as long as its the 2.25 ICS 5-7 one. I'm on the stock one and have flashed several ICS ROMs just fine. Only reason you'd need the JB one is if you need extra fastboot commands I believe. Since I don't really do anything with fastboot, I just grabbed the stock one.
So I've been dying to try out the CM10 ROM but I found out the usual flashing doesn't work since I'm on the newest HBOOT, but if I flash an older rooted version of a stock ROM will it also put me on the older HBOOT so that I could flash it the usual way?

No, the ROM is separate from the bootloader. You can fastboot flash a kernel with the new hboot (which you'll need to do for cm10) by following the instructions in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1794867
There is currently no way to downgrade you hboot version.

You dont need the older H-boot, all you need to do is learn how to correctly flash a kernel with your h-boot.
There are many methods available

Well first you posted in the wrong section.
2nd s-on? That is important to know. If you are on twrp 2.4.1 and also the latest firmware then you can only flash roms on the newest 3.16 software. I think mean bean is on that base already.

First: wrong section.
But to answer your question, sounds like you flashed the 3.16 tp.img, and you're running twrp 2.4.1.0 and the Rom you tried using are not 3.16. The nand is probably not 3.16

Yup, either fflash a 3.16 based Rom, or, better yet, flash the 3.15 touch panel image. Its in the firmware section in the meanbean thread

but why would my touch panel software be 3.16 when i was flashing a rom based on 3.15? i was flashing operation jelly bean rsl1.

Your nandroid isn't working cause of the new touch driver. To restore you gotta s-off

So like I said before. Flash the new mean bean, or s-off you device.
You should try to get an understanding of what you're doing. Read then read some more. Else you could end up with a brick.
