Default [Q] Hboot stuff

So I hate sounding noobish but my experience from the incredible is much less complex than what I've done with this phone, anywho...

I currently am on the stock hboot from the most recent GB RUU.

I was wondering... Seeing as how I have been trying to switch to some ICS roms, specifically venusaur, which hboot should I switch to?

I looked at superchilpil's post and didn't really get info that I wanted from it. So should I switch to the leaked ICS hboot or should I use the Jbear hboot?

Also the jbear hboot is the one prepacked in the controlbear files correct?

I am s-off obviously and have rooted stock GB rom.

Use the jbear hboot. You will be able to flash kernels in fastboot if you do.

I know flashing the ICS jbear boot will make my sd mount points screwy. So should I install the GB jbear boot and still be able to install ICS roms?

you will be able to flash ICS roms as long as you flash the GB firmware patch that devs have somewhere in their threads

Flash the latest .4 ics jbear hboot and you'll be fine. I flashed yesterday and everything is fine with my phone

I tried exactly that yesterday and my sd mounting got screwy as in my sd basically became invisible to my phone.


EDIT: I got what I wanted, I flashed the newest leak zip in hboot and just rerooted stuff.
