How to update to Ice Cream Sandwich...the S.M.A.R.T. way
​

Okay, so you have the ICS update notification prompt. Now what? WE NEED THAT UPDATE ZIP. But how do we get it? There are three known methods, which are as follows:

Methods of getting the ICS Zip

1) Logcat. Personally, I find logcats boring and not very useful, but you can pull the url from the logcat. 2) Copy the update zip to your sdcard. I find this way much easier since you can just upload the zip to Dropbox and go from there. 3) Rent a supercomputer and hack into Google's Update Servers. (Overkill, much?)

Anyway you do it, always post the zip or url to the forums before updating. Good day you all!

2 questions. Where is that zip file located? And, is it gone once the upgrade is done?
