[Q] Help upgrading to rooted ICS

[ifn0tzer0]

Ok, so I started off with a US 3.2 tablet with 2.6.36.3 with [email protected] #1, then flashed the official US 3.2.1R2 (signed-nbx03_001-ota-042.001.zip), which resulted in having the kernel at 5.

After running condi's tool, I was able to root. Now I am trying to follow condi's steps and upgrade to pre-rooted ICS by decrypting signed-nbx03_001-ota-12041004.zip, however at the boot to recovery mode step, it shows error:

"1 was unexpected at this time"

and self closes.

Any ideas on what what might be causing this? I'm using condi's latest version 4.1. Forgive me if this is an obvious error on my part.

I would post a screenshot but its not letting me.

Thanks

hi condi,

That works! Thx!!

Then I proceeded to the last, almost all no problem.
But I confused in last phase because something like an error happend. (mentioned below in red)
Is it no problem?

[*] After all done - remember to DELETE /sdcard/install.zip file (your update)
    or just RENAME it back to 'custom_update_signed.zip' for example ;)

[*] Press any key to exit.

after all, in that phase, I flashed install.zip at first. then, flashed custom_update_signed.zip.
Is it correct? (I'm not sure but it seems work fine ics.)

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply condi. After replacing the file I am seeing the same result as coosee when I proceed to autoflash, however, when if I skip autoflash and flash manually (custom rom menu #4 manual) the ics update was successful and I verified that I maintained root.

Thanks again!
