How To Guide Too Install Android 4.0.4 update.zip

[Eazy-go]

Thanks I'll try that now. Will I loose all my apps and contacts and things?

There are some great backup options for rooted phones, so you can wipe clean, and restore your apps, and stuff..
I noticed a huge performance increase when I did a fresh upgrade.
scares me to think that some people are flashing without backing up...

I would back it up most of my stuff is sync`d to Google anyway. Just not worth the effort of doing it and restoring. If I have to in the end I will. I would rather a custom ROM anyway if anyone knows of one.

You will have too use unbricked method and reflash the phone and after you flash the phone do a factory reset from the phone. and then you can apply the update.zip using the guide

Re: Manually install ICS direction

Someone please help. I had a rooted viper so I backed everything up did the unbrick method now twice. It says it fails at 98% but the posts say thats ok as long as it rebooted which it did. Phone appears completely stock. I go to do this and when I select the update.zip I still get "E:signature verification failed Installation aborted" How can I get this thing up to ICS? Thank you!
