I see. Thanks for explaining that to me :)

Now to continue on fixing the stock recovery.... I have a feeling only a ICS fastboot can save me

Help I am also stuck in bootloop or grey screen. I am able to get in to the android system recovery but cannot load up safestrap. I am the .213 leak and did some dumb stuff trying to fix data and borked the phone. Not sure how much time I have left as the phone was at 90% battery an hour ago and I cannot find any relevant information on how to fix this at all.

I did the following to try to get back to stock ICS from cyanogenmod.
I flashed into recovery and tried to go toggle the safe mode and recover the backup I had there. then i got an .img error and figured that was not good.
So I toggled back to safe mode enabled and wiped the data and just rebooted.
Then I got a grey screen and it will not boot up

Do you still have the .213 update .zip on your ext-sd card? You could try reflashing that in stock recovery and see what happens.

You probably need to fastboot the GB files plus the 213 kernel, then flash the ota 213 zip again. The ota will not flash if you have installed safestrap.

Sorry if I didn't make this clear but I have already flashed the .213 ICS leak and had cm9 rom running. Doesn't the OP say to not flash the GB when you are ICS or will def brick your phone? Tried going back to stock .213 ICS Leak from CM9 a dumb way now I have no safestrap.

Your right you can't go back GB, but you can use the same steps to go from one leak to another to fix your 213 install.

how exactly would you do that I have the phone in AP Fastboot mode.
would I just flash the .213 ICS leak in RSD?

Read the post in my signature. You must have the 213 update file on your external sd card.
