[How-To] Flash a leaked RUU

[MrSmith317]

You don't need a backup but if you want to save any of your app data then yes. If not, RUU away

Ok, so from what I understand: Backing up is just for the apps on the phone? I am at work and I want to do this now but have no way to connect to a computer. So do I NEED to do a back up? Yes, I am a new to this...

Yeah that's what they are referring to I believe. You don't need to do it. Many ppl just want to because you will have to start over otherwise. You will be starting with a brand new phone. You can get your contacts and stuff back from Google though. Just make sure you back up pictures and stuff(copy and paste to computer) just in case

One other thing I have noticed in ICS is that the screen is a bit slow to wake up from sleep sometimes. The screen is very dark after pressing the power button - I can barely make out the unlock ring onscreen. After about 10 seconds, the screen will be at normal brightness.

Am I the only one?

I realized today that the slow screen wake-up happens one or two times (waking up the phone) after I've used the camera. For example:

Usage #1: I use the camera or camcorder.
Usage #2: screen is slow to wake up
Usage #3: screen is slow to wake up
Usage #4: screen is likely to be at full brightness from the start

So I have another question, what should I use for back up now that I have flashed the RUU?

 

[anon(94115)]

are you rooted?

 

[franchescadaye]

as a newbie all I did was flash the leaked RUU, I didn't root(I guess)lol

In order to use the Nandroid backup, which is a total system wide backup, a feature found in Amon-Ra (your custom recovery should you root) or to just back up your apps with Titanium back up or a similar program you'll have to be rooted. Try this excellent guide by Mr. Smith.

So I should still root even though I already flashed the RUU? (see I did say I was a newbie )

If you are happy with the phone, no need to root. Enjoy ICS!

Just got s-off, now downloading the latest leak. I am proud of myself for getting s-off and I don't know why (I didn't write the program)...

Any who, 2 hours from now it should be done downloading.

Edit: should have just used this here 4G phone rather than mooching off the neighbors crappy internet... Downloaded in about 5 min compared to the slated 2 hours lol.

So, has anybody here, who flashed the leaked RUU, received the official OTA?

I'm not rooted, flashed the RUU. My phone is not finding any software updates via OTA.

Thanks.

I didn't get ota either. Just flashed .12

stock ReZ. I'm ready to unlock and root

 

[instntndlz]

Since I can't get the OTA, is there any way to return to stock GB and then get the OTA?

Just flash the .12 RUU twice - much easier. There is a thread about it in these forums.

This is the fastest download I've found so far (1.1MB/sec) with 8-minute downloads -- everything else is over 1 hour:

Just added a not so well known trick to this

 

[trizzypballr]

I just added the lock part. Thanks, I can't believe I forgot that.

Im already unlocked. Been having problems since friday when HTC sent the ICS update. Been trying all kinds of things to fix my phone now, trying this now. Im not sure how to relock though? Can you please explain? If you woulnt mind chatting threw skype, aim, or facebook that would also be great? shoot me a PM if your able to. Thank you!
