Someone on another site says you don't need to be rooted to install. Is that true and how so?

Still no word from Google on this though (and they pulled it back). Their silence is annoying.

Yea you don't need to be rooted. The original version was to flash through fastboot I believe, but there's already an Odin version, which doesn't require rooting either. I flashed through Odin.

Correct, you don't need to be rooted. I found this on YouTube - [Only registered users can view links. ]

It looks to be the way jdm4u mentioned above. The Odin version.

It looks like it will wipe everything but the stuff stored on your SD drive. So most likely pics and that stuff won't be deleted. I would back it all up just in case. But the guy in the video said his SD Drive was not affected.

CP my last question and thanks for helping is my assumption since this is being installed on a non rooted phone if for some reason the next update for ICS comes out i should get it without having to unstall the version of ICS on my phone. I assume the one everyone is installing is the official version.

If it's truly "official" and works great, the OTA release really can't be far behind, right?
