On Stock ICS/Want to go back?

[chumad]

Hey all-

I upgraded to stock ICS when Kies informed me of the update. It was a bad idea... horrible battery life - I went from about 22 hours to 7 hours if I'm lucky. It's so bad I went out and purchased an extended battery just to get through the day.

I've been watching and searching the forums for a while, but I've had trouble finding instructions on how to get back -- I'm even OK getting into a custom ICS rom. I am vulnerable to the brick bug, so I've been a little hesitant there as well.

Anyway... just hoping someone can point me to a thread on how to do it. I'm sure it exists, but my searching hasn't really found me anything definitive (or at least definitive that I was able to identify).

Thanks!

You gotta go back to stock GB first. Then you can root with CWM.

Thanks for those links. Reading through them I see a lot of talk about having to do a wipe... yet I read another thread from someone who said doing a wipe with ICS can brick me. Have I misunderstood something somewhere?

Yes. Don't wipe using the stock ICS kernel. Once you flash back to GB it should be fine.
