Walter can you run the Stock install on a NC2 non-rooted/stock device? Or does it have to be NL1?

I know we must be on NL1 and all but I'm running evolution 3.0 which is based on NL1 so can I just flash the OC1 file in ss and Odin the kernel and call it a night?

    Only try it if you know how to restore to NC2/NL1. I don't want everyone to jump in at the same time. Let some brave soul try first and report back.
