For telus user
So after playing around a little, I can confirm that both Telus and Bell firmware works; Although, I ran into some problem with the TELUS version :
1 .Device shutdown and screen freeze sometimes...
2. Media service using all the battery because of music on an external SD card
3. SD card "unexpectedly removed" as often as I unlocked the phone... ( probably related to the Media service thing above)
4. During installation, had to use mobile odin and remove ( it does it automatically) faulty line not compatible with the TELUS build (I747MVLALH1_I747MOYBALH1_TLS)
5. Battery life suffered intensely.
I finally factory reset and installed Bell Firmware with OTA (follow the guide) and ended up with no major problems (sometimes laggy widget - the gmail one essentially - , screen dimming going crazy - its off now - etccc ) . Battery life still less than 4.0.4 but nothing too dramatic. One could use a software that reduce CPU speed (Antutu) to save some battery or even Easy battery Saver ( who monitors phone states to close wifi antenna and data ) or something like that.
So basically, if you cant wait for JB OTA official, go ahead. its safe.
is it worth it? heh.... i don't know. but if you can't stand the idea of people having a more advance firmware than yours ( like on the nexus ) than go ahead.
***Note that it is completely possible to go back to stock firmware ( --> CWM --> factory reset.) if anything goes wrong. Don't hesitate. . Do a Backup first.. as it will delete everything.
Cheers. this was my experience.

When ever I attempt this I receive the message E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (status 6).
I know I am not the only one getting this error but I have spent over an hour searching and have yet to find a solution. Any help?
your either on Telus or ATT or Rogers and the OTA is for BELL. Install the "I747MVLALH1_I747MOYCALH1_BMC.zip" first using odin (see the steps). let it boot. reshutdown to download mode. Odin the CWM (steps). Than from ur PC, transfer the "d2can_JB_OTA_keeproot.zip" to your device and boot up the recovery CWM ( power button, volume UP and home). go to install, choose the OTA package and let it work and reboot.
One could also buy (5$) mobile odin and do it from within the app if you are rooted.
hope it helps.
