Sorry if the info is already out there. I'm nearing the end of the midterm week and may have missed the info. But I saw some mentions of burning a fuse on the motherboard if you flash the leaked ICS Rom and whatnot.

Other than your usual bricking risk, what is the hazard of flashing the roms with the newer drivers and even the leaked rom itself?
Will it make it impossible for me to downgrade?
Will it lock the bootloader? (I doubt it but better to be sure than anything else)
anything I should be aware of when flashing these roms?

I'm hoping to use the newer webtop so I can use DSLR Controller at the lapdock native resolution so I can tether and control my Canon T4i. the GB rom does not work that well with the app due to some limited cache that ICS apparently don't have the issue with.

Thanks

I'm not an expert, but:
1. No
2. No

I think the main risk is to burn something, since the reports from users are showing that phone is getting very hot.

You can downgrade to any rom but remember to do the proper formats. I installed the leak but it was too unstable in my phone so i downgrade to normal GB.

The bootloader won't lock as long as you don't flash it.

Pretty much this (the possibility of the phone running warmer and putting extra wear and tear on your phone), and you can't relock the bootloader ever again.

Also IMO always do a Nandroid backup (and keep a copy of it stored somewhere other than your phone) before you jump into any new ROM...
