My phone is rooted already but im trying to figure out how i can get the new ICS software on my phone..? any help will be appreciated.
Simple make sure you have custom recovery. Then flash an ICS ROM. There are guides as well please read before making a thread there just simply way too many of these in this forum its ridiculous

I'm not having a major issue but it's something that in the excitement of being rooted and flashing my first ever ROM, I completely forgot to do.
Would it be possible to flash the stock rom exactly as I had it once I finished rooting the phone? I don't want to use it but just want a back up of everything exactly stock before I went ROM crazy. Any help would be much appreciated.

I will answer in two parts...first of all you should have posted you question in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213167, wich is actually related to stock roms. Anyway, you can use several methods to return to stock, but you will loose the root access, although you can root it again using the Hack Kit. Check this link, posted in the general section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1385016
The other two ways to return to stock is using the Hack Kit to revert or Gene Pole's tool:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208507
And of course, you have many roms that are the stock rom with no bloat and deoxed....Please, next time before opening a thread search the forum. All the information is available, you just have to look for it....
After you root the phone with Advanced Ace Hack Kit do a NAND Backup from recovery.
If you already flashed a custom rom without backing up your stock rom, how would you now expect to backup something that doesn't exist anymore?

Thank you all for the replies. I figured I would have to return to stock via the aahk, but imagined there being a rom that's exactly the same as when you finish running the kit.
Since I'm about to return to stock, should I format my SDcard before running the hack kit?

Formatting the sdcard is not a must but in some cases helps speeding the process...
check the roms available in the development forum there are a couple of stock roms without bloatware...that might help you and you wont have to revert your phone back to stock....
Hey guys, i have a motorolla droid 3. xt862. I am running cyanogen mod 7 and it is rooted. i flashed the Blur_Version.5.6.890.XT862.Verizon.en.US file using stock recovery and now the droid 3 bootstrap is gone and wifi wont work. im stuck with cm7 which doesnt work. I would just like to go back to the way it was when i got it stock rom and everything. I have no interest in custom roms because absolutely nothing works and it is all very buggy. Please i need help urgently! i hope im not stuck
is there anyway to go back to gingerbread 2.3.4? i can't seem to get rid of cyanogen mod 7 because i have no bootstrap and i can't install it again.
It sounds like you did an RUU? ? ?
That should have gotten you back to stock. Basically you need to get a working RUU version, of the latest OTA and run that. Or get a rooted stock rom.

Hello friends, I have a neighbor who has a G2x and want to know if you can return back to official GB stock rom for this device and you need to do.
Use the search engine and found nothing about it.
regards
You already posted in the thread that specifically and explicitly says how to do this....just saying
Edit: make that three threads.
the ROM you're using has absolutely nothing to do with installing new ROMs. Recovery is not affected. So yes, all of those methods will work from JB

Ultimately what I am trying to accomplish is to install SlimBean ICS on my friends Froyo Galaxy. (I am a Motorola Guy)
From my understanding you need to go to Ginger first. Easy enough, use Kies.
Next I need to install CM, this is where I am getting lost. Do I need to install 7 (GB) before I can install 9 (ICS)?
How do I install CM on this device? Totally lost because there are so many extra steps.
Lastly there is install SlimBean once CM is installed which is easy enough via CWM.
First question is, are you using a Galaxy or Galaxy S 4G? They're different.
Second, skip KIES, use a one-click. Flash once, reboot, Linda, Flash with bootloaders.
Then you can move on to the fun of ICS.
Please remove the battery from the phone and verify that the model for the phone is either
SGH-T959V
or
SGH-T959W
Those are the only phones the files on this forum are meant for! Reply with the model here so we can direct you to the right forum if your friend's phone is different than the Galaxy S 4G

This should get you on GB and rooted with a custom recovery. I believe at this point you can just flash slim bean ICS.
Always make sure you have another ROM you can flash to if the one you want doesn't work. Also make sure you have a backup

That's the one I was using but it didn't explain going beyond gb custom

After using the One Click Heimdall just get to recovery. If you have cwm 5 then you're good to go, just flash the ROM. Search our wiki on how to get to recovery.

Thanks everyone for all the help and clarification. His phone is making me really appreciate how easy flashing a ROM on my phone is even with a locked bootloader.
