Nope lol unless you do the unbrick method back to GB do the steps to push cwm and wait for danny to release his rom

Mine is ready, when I get home, I need to install it and I'll make a post about it, it is ready. All you need to do is Install ICS stay in recovery Install AlphaC then install A gapps 4.0.4. I have it downloaded I just need to get home.

Any luck on the recovery? I found a test build of one on theunlockr.com. The link is here How to Install ClockworkMod Recovery on the LG Viper 4G LTE - TheUnlockrTheUnlockr Also a quick question: will flashing a CWM recovery wipe all my data? Or will it just give me different options as to how to go about wiping my data?

So if I have installed ICS I can flash back to stock GB and then the bootloader will be unlocked again and I can install CWM and a rom? I was under the impression that once the bootloader is locked even if you flash back to GB (using the unbrick method) the bootloader will still be locked.

Could you do me a massive favor and link me to that? I'm new to this whole thing and I'm still figuring out where to go for all of this. Also, I've been reading up on your thread with all the guys you've been building this with and 1. Is it compatible with the OTA of ICS? 2. If I just download and flash the github as a .zip will that work? and 3. Thanks for doing all this. You're awesome.
