How to get ICS if you are stuck

[majorpayne]

Hey I get an error fastboot is not recognized as internal or external command blah blah....what did I do wrong? I am sure I installed all of the sdk correctly

When you run the adb commands you need to be in the directory that you have that program in

Like that?

Okay I see them in platform tools...how do I go about getting to platform tools?

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?

I did the manual update you posted. I just had some issues, settings keeps freezing and then Facebook keeps losing its authentication

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
