To the people wondering about going back to GB after flashing ICS it works fine. I restored a nandroid backup and everything works just fine.

Thanks,
This is definitely good to know!
can we make a nandroid of ICS and revert back to that?
Is it safe from design gears and dagr8? Just wondering because one says it doesn't change basebands and the other i haven't found where it mentions it

thanks for the effort but dont do that.
after some reading, designgears .exe leak changes everything INCLUDING flashing ics bootloaders. if you read dag8s op he uses gingerbread bootloaders with ics on top to allow you to restore back to a gingerbread backup seamlessly.
Otherwise you will have to manually flash gb bootloaders

Thats awesome! I just would have felt bad if your next post was about a brick and i didnt speak up lol. Good to know, im sure there is at least one dev looking into the bootloaders and stuff im sure we will know why soon enough.
Thanks this is good info right here.
Yeah you can nandroid ics and restore from gb. The different baseband doesn't seem to have any effect on gb.

My nandroid of GB was wiped in the transition using the EXE to ICS. Now that I'm a dumbass, how do I get back to Gingerbread?

my guess is downloading the ODIN version of the stock gingerbread, and then flashing it through ODIN.
I take no responsibility if you brick your device though.

So, were you able to go back to GB? I don't like this leaked ICS, very slow, tried all of the above launcher. I need to revert to.

You're shocked because the radio isn't working on a hacked release of the ROM? You may just have to wait until the official ICS update is released for it to work.
Well, since the same hardware is going to be on VM, I would think the same software would be there.
Has anyone tried restoring the old one from a backup to see if it'll work?
Just tried pushing the 3 required system apps over to /system and they showed up after reboot but just FC'd.

The fm radio app built into one of the Roms I flashed fc when run. I wonder if HTC removed the fm radio chip from the VM version of the 3d to cut costs.

The radio App was not build into my ICS. I've since installed, but the Widget is missing.
The radio app can be executed only.
Anyone has ICS with an addable widget?

I wonder if this update is the reason why HTC pulled the update from their website?
Where did this come from? Was this pulled from a new RUU? Are there new radios?

Same question
I knew 605.10 wasn't going to be the ota because the brightness settings couldn't be changed from the quick settings brightness settings in the notification shade. Hopefully they fixed it in 605.12.
Yeah where is this from? There's no trace of that version number anywhere on the Internet...
Virus?

Do the stock leaks have Quick Settings? I thought that was a feature added by the devs. It's been awhile since I played with a untouched leak.
There is an ruu but like unsaid in the op. 2 changes wasn't anything special which is y I just did the Rom. Same radios, just crap fixes

Kernel & radios (of course) all the same. Looks like the only thing changed from 3.14.605.10 is the build number. Same hboot, or is this just the ROM?

If you just installed this rom, it wouldn't upgrade the radios anyway, you need the full leak to see if anything changed with the radios and/or hboot. I'm guessing no though given the comments in the OP.
So far so good. Running well. Thanks.

I was informed today that Verizon is pushing out the new Ota already. If you haven't gotten it you will soon. 2 questions....
1. Do we have to Odin back to stock to receive the update?
2. Will there have to be a new process to root after we accept the ota?
Should this have gone under the Q and A?

I think this has already been discussed. The nee ota is nothing more than the search feature dumbing down and a new baseband+kernel. I believe you can root this with the current method. Correct me if I'm wrong though.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Why mess up your root? Just give it some time and the devs will probably have the update rooted and ready to flash with Odin !
Can anybody confirm that these will not auto-install?
On my HTC Incredible, I would just hit install later, but the popup would come back every 15 minutes.. very annoying!
Soon as the update comes out I will have a fully deodexed rooted zipaligned version available.
If I can figuire it out, I will also make an Odin image out of it.

I love how Samsung and Verizon take so long to release updates - except when it's to take away the features on your phone. They get those out pretty quickly.
Does this OTA have any benefit??

I don't remember where I read this but you have to freeze FWUpdate.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
It's been pretty well established how to restore proper search functionality. The real question should be what do the kernel and radios do? Any improvements in reception or battery life? Any improvements in device performance? And most importantly, does this change anything regarding bootloader unlocking research and work-arounds?

Thanks, didn't even think to do that for some reason. I just froze FWUpgrade, SDM & VZWUpdate in Titanium Backup.. can anyone confirm if there's anything more that needs to be frozen?
Here 1. Don't accept it. 2. We can pull radio and kernel and install those.

Update should fail anyway if you don't have a stock recovery. They generally require a stock recovery to update the phone.

I consistently get -75 to -85 dbm so I really don't think there is a reception issue with the 4G radio for me. Now the WiFi is awful for me. That could be improved. GPS is sick.... I lock on in about half a second

You should never use *228 on an lte device. It usually cooks the sim card. I would go to stock and probably get a new sim now. A ROM usually can't affect signal unless it's an AOSP ROM, but if that's the only variable changed then it would make sense to undo it.
