download my latest kernel from this post & corresponding wifi modules
flash my kernel using:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
then reboot from fastboot using:
Code:
fastboot reboot
device will now start booting and show my kernel logo
when the blue LED lights up keep spamming/pressing BACK button
u will now enter my modded recovery
flash the ROM's v01 update.zip (this will take some time a minute or two)
flash the ROM's update pack v01 to v02 update.zip (this will take some time a minute or two)
flash wifi module corresponding to latest kernel
thats it now reboot device and it will start booting into ICS
