Default Just got back to the forums and need some help with the new ics.

I've been real busy with my EMT training for the past couple of months and just got back on the other day and found out about the new ics update. I did the 1.4 downgrade to get s-off. Is there anything I need to do before flashing one of the new roms floating around. I never did the vm update. and i was running infected eternity with anthrax. Thanx in advance.

Unless the ROM includes the 2.89 kernel, then no. If so, then you have to flash one of the fw/hboot upgrades first.

Yeah times have changed a bit....
BTW the a*****x kernel is no longer supposed to be mentioned on xda. fyi
To answer your question though you can flash any of those roms without upgrading anything.....but if you choose to you can update to the new firmware (minus HBoot) (there's a thread with the modded firmware DON"T EVER FLASH THE VM FIRMWARE though.
But the new sprint firmware is supposed to enhance performance...but I don't see the difference...so try without and if you choose to later, upgrade firmware.

Thanx for the help you guys. Also, I had read the zero tolerance posts all over the place. It would appear that simply stating the facts about what's on your phone won't get you in trouble. Its mainly the BS fanboy crap that will get you in trouble. No flaming, no trolling, and if you are a fan of someone's work no bashing someone else because their not your hero. But on the flipside I can see how keeping it to yourself is a good idea. Anyway what roms are you guys running?

Homebrew right now is mainly stock, but the next version promises great things. Coolexe v9 is great as well. I also life Negamann's ROM. Development has really taken off recently.
