FAQ:

1. Should I flash this firmware?
It's your own choice, this is a before release leak and i am not responsible for any damage you do to the phone.
2. Can I flash this if i am from outside europe?
The pit file is for europe only, you can try but it might give you an error, until someone figures out how to modify that file, you are stuck.
3. How do I root my phone?

4. My phone is discharging too fast. Help!
Install No Frills CPU Control (root) from the market and set the minimum frequency to 200.
5. Can I go back to Gingerbread?
Not for now. Someone with a working gingerbread phone has to figure out how to extract the gb pit file but flashing back can be a very dangerous operation.

Thanks for this guide.

Can u plz tell us are thr any special drivers required to flash the rom? I charge my phone by connecting it to PC, does it mean the usb driver is installed in my pc?

Secondly do we need to select/enable the option debugging in our phone?

Someone told you the way in other thread. For me it is simple. Root your GB, take what you want and finally flash JB.
