Restore the nandroid backup that you should have made before flashing CM10.

I don't think i made one " i know i'm a noob, and i admit that ", if i didn't can i flash a GB Stock ROM using flashboot or will the phone get bricked?
Never flash an sbf unless you have no choice.
What GB version were you on? What country/carrier?

I was on 2.3.4 and the country is Egypt or just the ME version of Android, and the new JB is great and everything but still lags on my Phone so i wanted to downgrade
You can try flashing a fruit cake, but the only one available is for AT&T. You might run in to problems with the radio. You might find some help here.
There might be an sbf available here, but the site is currently undergoing maintenance.

I suggest you take your pick of modified ROMs our devs have developed
Ninja
CherryBlur
RedPill
Kenn's Rom with Extras
Couple other news ones have popped up recently, but i'd give them some time.
If you want stock, I suggest flashing the 4.5.91 SBF WITH pudding and root already built in.
I'm trying to use sbf_flash to flash to gingerbread, but it is failing with checksum errors. any suggestions?

Not familiar with sbf_flash, but which SBF gingerbread are you trying to flash?
I am trying to flash pudding. Does the phone need to be unlocked first? How can I tell if it is unlocked?

Pudding will unlock your phone if you read through the 1st post and follow instructions.

Is it possible to return back to the original software of the phone after installing the leak. As in, can you use mattlgroffs Razr Utility to completely restore the phone?

One last question, will I be able to update to the final ICS when it is released from the leak.
No one really knows, but at the moment its not likely, you will need to flash your phone to a standard GB ROM, but to do that you will need to wait for someone to find a way, then upgrade to ICS.
This is why I have not taken the ICS Leak Plunge yet

wat
There's an update?
Since you're on Alien/rooted/unlocked BL I would recommend against taking any OTA update. It would most likely fail anyway.
EDIT- I just noticed you're on 4.5.91, you must be seeing the notifications for the 4.5.141 update. You had me all excited that there was some other update out.
Thanks Stewart- poor reading comprehension on my part.
That answers it.
No!
S Do not update, there are multiple posts of people bricking their phone attempting to update, if you continually get requests to update you can freeze updater with titanium backup. If you want to update with newer firmware I would suggest taking a look at the many newer gb roms or even a move to cm7 if you really want something a bit different, as far as I am aware there aren't going to be any more updates to Alien.
I'm on a stock 4.5.141 myself, with a few enhancements. I had an unlocked bootloader on 4.5.91, updated using the 4.5.141 SBF, and could re-unlock the bootloader. Then CWM and start flashing zips (like root).
I'm still waiting with bated breath for an ICS leak.

Dont do this. You're unlocked, treat RSD as if it doesnt exist. If I were you, I'd try to find either a .141 fruitcake (CWM flashable versions of RSD files) or switch to a .141 based rom if you want to stick with blur.

I have done what I said I would and it did not brick my device. There is a risk if you flash the wrong sbf or downgrade.

Most don't reccomend this however as too many possible things can go wrong. Also is alot more work to fix if something goes wrong. A flashable fruitcake or rom is more simple to do in the first place and if something does go wrong is easier to fix. Also the roms available kick butt over the stock rom.

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
I have a GSM EVO 3d (From Rogers). I am currently on Leedroid 5.3 Rom and Kernel.
I want to update to ICS (Finally...). I am S-off and i have 4ext running.
I have done a nandroid with 4ext and TI backup.
My questions begin here:
What do I need to do because i have Lee's kernel. Will Flashing just the new Firmware be enough, then just wipe dalvik, data and cache, and flash my new ICS ROM.
While im here I might as well ask, since we just got an official update. are a lot of the roms going to get updated and change significantly faster now. or is it still a waiting game for the release of the kernel source?
relock the phone,flash the stock recovery and flash the original ruu. you'll be able to upgrade after that. all the best:good:
Concerning your 2nd question: I think for sense based Roms, business will go on as usual, so we can expect new spin-offs of the popular Roms soon. But with CM9, aosp, et cetera it wont be easier now.
What does aosp mean again?

Huh? why would I want to relock my phone. I just want to flash an aftermarket ROM like cool sense 3.6.
I dont want the official ICS...
Why would you even suggest I relock my phone? even If i did want the regular official ICS (which I dont) I would not need to lock my phone.
To make it absolutely clear I have s-off and full root, and refuse to lose that. so if you dont know what your talking about carry on and dont reply.

I saw that, terrible telling you to update hboot. from the OTA.
Anryls thread firmware is stripped of recovery and hboot. http://d-h.st/9Po Install it, remove sd card, go into recovery, pop in sd.
Then just format all partitions except sd card in 4ext, wipe dalvich, install new ICS Rom.
You'll keep recovery, hboot and s off.
For OC kernels we will need source. :sly:

Thanks will do, but for my own information, curiosity and for future help for others, why do I need to remove my sd and put it back in in recovery?
EDIT: oh and the link you gave is that the same FW I see every ICS rom linking to telling me to flash first? Is there different versions or something? cause everyone has a different link to it.

Newest firmware does not erase data, make a backup in 4ext in case you want to go back to gb.
As for why removing sd.
After flashing firmware, if you cant get into recovery, you hold volume down and hit power, the ICS firmware will try to auto flash again. So by removing sd you can scroll down to recovery in hboot, boot into 4ext, put sd card back, then flash your ICS Rom.
That firmware is based on the latest official ripped version, not leaked or test versions that have been around the last month or so.

Rogers hasnt released it yet. Rogers like sprint does modify the roms a little and adds some bloatware. (Not to sprints extent, but they do...)

I dont recommend you just flash the OTA. If you are rooted, you would either end up with a boot loop or lose your root.
If you are rooted, update your FW and flash one of the many ICS roms available in the GSM section.
Heres what i have noticed on verizon htc 10 with us unlocked firmware.pacrom,validus,aokp and rr roms will not flash.cm and beanstalk do.just some info for those wondering what roms work and what roms dont.
UPDATE!!! The 9/4 build of RR boots.no home button and same bugs as other cm.switch to global mode let it connect signal reboot let it connect again then switch back to cdma/lte/evdo and it will reconect with lte and stay connected.at least it did for me.

Curious if an RUU will be needed to be flashed to get fully back to Verizon.

As additional info, I previously tried to flash the same modified (recovery/radio removed, android-info.txt edited to add VZW cid) firmware zip as the OP but could not get the Verizon stock or any other ROM to boot. It was suggested that a full data formatting be necessary first, but I didn't try that and you probably know more about that process than me anyway. After each unsuccessful attempt however I was able to revert by flashing a VZW no-wipe RUU and restore my backed up VZW ROM without problems.
