How to get ICS if you are stuck

**mstraw9379** · 08-03-2012, 12:41 PM

Must make this attempt when I get home. No phone all day. Very frustrating.

Someone help, please. I have no idea how to get this to work, and the sad thing is that I'm not ed with computers. I'm a freaking developer and dba and I'm ready to just chuck this phone out the window..

I've got the SDK installed, have my phone connected via USB and have it in FASTBOOT USB, and I'm stuck at the "fastboot oem lock" step.

Can someone do screenshots or something to show where the CMD prompt should be at? My SDK is installed at C:/Program Files/Android/Android-Sdk

I see an "Android" batch file in the Tools directory, but all that does is open the SDK UI. I can't find anywhere to run the "fastboot oem lock" command, and dos doesn't like it either.

do a search for with adb.exe or fastboot.exe on your system most likely it's in your C:/Program Files/Android/Android-Sdk but not always as i moved mine into a android folder on c.

your phone (if i remember right) also needs to be at hboot to lock it

Do you still need to do the OEM lock step if the phone is already locked?

Nope you should be good to go

Something is wrong then. I get the error that my phone is not connected to the computer when I try to run the ruu.exe that I downloaded, even though my phone IS connected, shows fastboot USB on the phone and the computer makes the ding dong noise when I connect to USB....

I have followed the steps, I get a error message saying that the ROM can't update my phone. I have followed the steps as the amazing pizzadude said to and thats the error I get. Any suggestions?

**piizzadude** · 08-03-2012, 06:15 PM

Did you wipe? One of the time I flashed that last night I had similar issues.... It just sound like a wipe will cure it. I know it sucks but it is better than the alternative

Waiting on download. What do I do to make sure I wipe it completely?

**piizzadude** · 08-03-2012, 10:16 PM

jsut do a factory reset once or twice from hboot

is the download working? I was told it was suspended

**mstraw9379** · 08-03-2012, 10:22 PM

download worked. I had to create an account (is that normal?). My phone just rebooted.

At least it turns on now. I may or may not try the OTA tonight. After being without a phone since 4pm yesterday I may just let it be for now.

Any ideas to help me?? I finally got to the point I could try to run the RUU, but it just keeps saying my phone is not connected to the computer.

I'd like to get this fixed before I try to ask for a new phone.

piizzadude, you rock.

I did the OTA this morning. I had to do the pre-download (7MB one) twice. FIrst time it factory reset my phone?
Now I have ICS on my phone!

**piizzadude** · 08-04-2012, 02:13 PM

If that was for me, that is not the problem. The computer sees the phone just fine outside of trying the RUU file. I can try, but I don't think that is the problem.
Thanks for the suggestion though!

Do I need to be S-off to do this?

**piizzadude** · 08-04-2012, 03:07 PM

You need to be s off to go from a leak to gb.... From one ics to another you do not need to be

I'm currently on 3.14.605.5 710RD which was released in mid may. I had no problems updating then, but when I try to use the file from android police my phone is not reading the file correctly or something. It says about PH98Diag.nbh not found or incorrect. im s-on and locked. no mods except installing the 4.03 leak. Any other way to update besides putting PH98IMG.zip on my root drive and updating?
