Does anybody know what changed in this leak from the 5/7 leak? I've already read that it's the same kernel.

Allow me to ask a noob question....How to flash it?
Rename to PH98IMG and flash on bootloader? Or flash it like flash a ROM on recovery?

Should be the bootloader.. Android Police had these directions posted for the last RUU leak:

• After downloading the file, rename it to "PH98IMG.zip" (no quotes)
• Place the renamed file onto the root of the SD Card
• Power down your device
• Reboot into the bootloader by holding VOL DOWN + Power
• The flashing process should begin automatically

It's been noted on a couple of sites and in the comments that it's a good idea to flash this twice in a row in order to ensure success. Further, be advised the RUU wipes the phone clean. SD card should be OK, but I'd backup just in case.

What has me puzzled is this leak not making news on that site or others.. seems kinda fishy and so I'm hesitant to flash this not knowing the usual semi official stuff.

Definitely don't want to step on any toes, so naturally I won't ask how you know.
All the same, I can't help but be curious.. any thoughts on why the blogs are all cloak & dagger on this?

honestly i have no idea. it's a pretty recent build tho and likely to be the OTA IMO

chg log and why it wasnt posted on AP and such

---

chg log was it removed the caller id app, fixed data widget issues and sms thread..since it was such a minor update we decided not to post but i figured u guys can beta test and what not

Good to know. I'm guessing we're just about ready for OTA.. just the final testing, sign off, and what not. I'm guessing if there were any glaring bugs with this leak, we'd know about it by now, especially since the kernel and radios appear to be the same.

Is this just the Radio only??

Nevermind, its not, sorry.

Oh, pulease people, if somebody says it's the OTA, don't expect a certificate with a Verizon Wireless seal on it to verify. We're all on our own here anyway. Even if it's not ---- run it or don't. Yeesh.

As to SetCPU and perflock and kernels, I have been running SetCPU just fine on ICS --- with profiles to underclock and no overclocking. I have virtually no heat issues that aren't related to something else (like letting the phone sit in the sun). You can't disable perflock on the Rezound --- not yet. Eventually we'll get kernel source and then the kernel magicians can do their tricks.

No, I haven't flashed this yet, but I fully intend to when I'm done the download and have backed things up here.

And I've also regained root with Amon Ra on ICS when I was pretty much screwing around with everything, but it doesn't really matter because a ROM can provide for root, e.g. Nils' 5.0 just out rebased on this RUU, not taking anything away from Con's brilliant work on the Rezound.
