Could anyone post the official ICS update.zip?

Would it be possible to upgrade a stock ROM with an official update.zip when one receives it? If so please post it.

I don't think so. You'd have to have root to put the file in the proper place in your filesystem. I don't think it would flash from the SD card without doing the rigmarole we've been doing anyway.

As long as the file is signed by Motorola, wouldn't it be as simple as putting it on your sd card, booting into stock recovery, and picking that file or naming it properly so it is picked up automatically? Isn't that what an OTA update does?

Again, I could be wrong, but I don't think OTAs are downloaded to the SD-card. I think they're put in /preinstall in the phone's internal memory.

If you want it to be recognized as an official update (to be installed by the actual bootloader) you have to just drop it as "update.zip" in the correct place and it'll install fine. The problem is you have to be rooted to place it *into* that place.

But that's not a problem

Ahh, should have explained. I am rooted, but everything is stock besides SU and Wireless Tether. :good:
