I want to do this manually,my phone is already rooted,i just need to figure how to put it on my phone and where exactly to download it.
I was reading on another forum that if my phone is rooted and runs a carrier update it will brick my phone. True? How can this be prevented?

Hey if you're phone's already rooted and you simply install a carrier update I think it'll update the ROM and remove root access.
For example, if you have Froyo 2.2 and you have Root access, one you install an update with Gingerbread 2.3 you'll end up with your operator's official ROM and no way to run Visionary.
Did you root with a util such as Visionary? That just uses an exploit to get root access, however to take a leap forward you need to do Eng S Off and Radio S Off, following this you can then install some of the great custom ROMs which are out there.
Ya I used gingerbreak and using rom manager bricked my last phone. Not sure what Eng s off and radio s off means.

Hey all!
I've got an Nexus S 4G running Gingerbread on Sprint network. I rooted it using oneclick root and free myself from a whole lot of bloatware.
Now, Sprint is trying to push ICS update to my phone. Can I update manually with my already rooted phone, or will I have to unroot, update, and reroot the new version?
I think this thread addresses the same (or at least similar) thing, hope it helps:

I had to flash a stock Gingerbread ROM, which unrooted my phone, and then I was able to get the OTA ICS update. I'm on AT&T though, not sure about Sprint.
I rooted my evo 4g lte using this method:http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-4g-l...tc-evo-4g-lte-unlock-bootloadertwrp-recovery/ and now need to unroot for service. I used the one click unroot via superuser but team win's custom recover is still on there. How can I unroot? I tried the ruu for my current model but it keeps giving me an error (171).
