I'm currently running an unlocked, S-On rezound with HBoot 2.11 and I'm currently running ViperRez with Kernel 3.0.16.GD0048F1. I'm obviously using the GB firmware patch whenever possible but the GB Firmware patch doesn't work with AOSP roms, and i CAN install the AOSP roms without it, but it won't recognize the SD Card and i can't mount the internal one either.
So what's the best way to get to HBoot Firmware 2.27 so i can start installing newer JB roms?
You'll have to re lock the bootloader and run an RUU to update your firmware
This will bring you to the ics ota official

1) None of those download links work, and any that do point to a camera fix, not anything about the rom itself.
2) What about the mention of being fully stocked? I'm running a custom rom and the last time i tried

Here this one points to the global ics leak, the dl link works and it doesn't matter what rom you are on, it will be overwritten with the stock one. Once your firmware is updated you will need to unlock, flash a recovery, then flash a rom of your choice

Actually through more rooting I found the right updates VERY DEEP in some other thread.
the post here it here in case anybody comes upon this thread and has the same question:

I haven't seen a thread for this yet and some people who are running old firmware don't know about this so I thought I'd post it for those that are running old firmware and want to flash ICS Roms without updating to the latest leak. This will work for any .22 based Rom I have tried it on so far. Some devs mention it, others don't. I do not know who made this patch but it came with Scroslers Cleanrom and I thank him for it. If you have constant reboots after flashing a .22 based rom, this is for you.
Hope this helps.

every ics rom thread has a patch listed..... and for clearity... Joel was the brains behind the patch... while we may not of used his exact files he was the one that informed us of what files needed to be replaced

If you flashed one of my ics hboot combos then you no longer need to flash the new/old firmware patch after flashing a ics Rom
And I haven't done this myself but flashing the new firmware patch on top of a gingerbread Rom should alow you to use ics firmware on a gingerbread Rom
As for that error I have no idea why your getting it, maybe a bad download or a app conflicting with something, afaik nothing with the firmware or firmware patches will cause that issue

Make sure you flash the boot.img (kernel) that belongs to the rom you are flashing.

If you are s-on, you have to make sure the kernel/boot.img is flashed after you flash the ROM. If you are trying to flash an RUU, you have to be locked.
Also, if you are on ICS firmware and trying to run a GB ROM, you'll need to flash the newfirmware patch. http://www.androidfilehost.com/main/-Support_Files-/SuperChilPil/
Hi, I'm fairly new here and I've read that if you flash a GB 2.17 base ROM while on the 2.17 firmware it will make for a better experience. My question is where can I download this and what would be the procedure while flashing ROMs? Can someone please enlighten me because I want to bring out the best in my phone.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk 2
Here is the AIO for 2.17 - LINK. You would put this on the root of your sd card, then go into bootloader and let it do it's thing. Will automatically ask you to update.
Then just find the 2.17 ROM you would like to install and flash it.

Does this mess with hboot or bootloader (i.e. upgrade it from 1.4 to 1.5)?
I don't think so. Freeza usually removes HBOOT from his zips. May want to wait for someone else to confirm. Although, if you're already S-OFF you can just download the file in the sticky to go back to 1.4.

Does not mess with bootloader. In the linked post, he does however state that he assumed it was to be used with 1.4.
So I just restore my backup of the stock old base ROM and flash this? Also am I supposed to wipe when flashing the 2.17 ROM of my choice? Sorry for all the questions. Just wanna familiarize myself with this stuff

Don't know what you have as a back up, but I would do a clean install of a 2.17 ROM after you install the 2.17 firmware.

Sorry I have the stock ROM as a backup. Not sure what the base is although I'm sure it's not 2.17. It's whatever is installed after achieving s-off and downgrading. Is it recommended for the battery to be at 100% before flashing a new ROM?

Not necessary for the phone to be 100% charged for flashing. I wouldn't flash with anything lower than 50% though.
Okay so I flashed that zip through the bootloader but I'm still on the 1.13 base. I though that was supposed to upgrade to the 2.17 base

You have to flash a 2.17 ROM. The 1.13 base is ROM, has nothing to do with the firmware that you flashed.
the link has been modified to ONLY flash parts of 2.17, the radio and a few others things i believe BUT it wont make your HBOOT1.5 or change your S-OFF status or hurt you, when u update youll notice only the first few items in the big list off the update, actually get updated.
its exactly what you were asking for and its safe. just make sure u download the file correctly and copy it over correctly. anything wrong with this file can brick your phone since its concerning your bootloader.
Ok I'm either not getting something or I'm totally over thinking this does this have to be flashed before flashing every 2.17 ROM? Do i restore a certain ROM to flash it and then flash another ROM? If someone can detail the flashing process for this I'd greatly appreciate it (including when and what to wipe)

Since you have already flashed the 2.17 firmware, all you need to do is flash a Rom. You do not need to flash the firmware again.
Find any 2.17 or ICS based ROM and flash away. Be sure to read the OP to see what works or not. When I choose a ROM to flash I always read a few of the last pages on the thread to see if any issues are being discussed.
When flashing a new base ROM, it is advised to do a backup. I backup sms,mms,call history, apps, and then do a full wipe prior to flashing. This can help alleviate any potential issues from one ROM to the other.

You don't flash it in recovery at all, you flash it in bootloader by renaming it pg86img.zip, putting it on the root of the sdcard, and let it flash, after that you have the firmware and won't have to worry about it again.

Hi. So I installed a 3.14.605.5 leak, and started to have bootloop issues. Prior to this it was s-on, unlocked. I now know I probably needed to flash the ruu twice, but I only did it once. I think I read instructions from a bad source. Since then I've done s-off successfully (since I was on the right firmware) and installed Rezrom s4 2,5. It boots up and works mostly ok, except going to the dialer crashes the phone and reboots it. Every time.
So now I'm wondering what I have to do. do I need to revert back to a leak?
thank you so much...
Try giving stock recovery a flash, factory reset then reflash the rom.

The reason it would bootloop is the audio lib
So anything that produces a sound will cause a reboot

Alright my phone is S-OFF, and I have been using newt's XXX rom. Yesterday I tried to update to the 4.0 version, and after I flashed and loaded up the rom, it rebooted. It does this about every 10 minutes or so. I have tried reflashing the rom, but have gotten no success. What do I do?

Yes I have. Plus the rom is set to auto wipe when you flash it. I had no problems whatsoever until I tried to update to the newest version. This has me stumped
I would ask Newt if he changed anything significantly which would cause it since a clean flash didn't fix it. You could also try a different kernel in the mean time.
That does sound like kernel panic.. but if your using newts kernel that comes with the Rom it shouldn't be doing that.. I agree with the post above try another kernel. Also I'm assuming your on the latest firmware hboot2.27 and radio2.22? If not nun an ruu and try flashing your Rom again.

Update your firmware to the latest Ruu if you want to run xXx Rom correctly.
Running the incorrect radios week cause this with any rom. My signature should hold a link that'll lead you to an area to get that radio/firmware combo and get your in the right path.
