Get Unstuck from ICS Leak 200 (AKA Upgrading from 200 to 206) INSTRUCTIONS

[ws6formula350]

Has anyone noticed any improvement in the newer leaks? Battery life or signal maybe? I am om 200 and wondering if there is a good reason to update.

UI transitions and animations are way smoother... overall the ROM feels more responsive, .206 would freak on orientation change when sliding out the keyboard; haven't noticed that on this build. As for battery, I've only been using it for six hours...I'll post back after some more time on it.

Also, you DO need to add the .img extension to boot206.img for that portion to work.

I fixed the instructions, my computer is set up so I can't change file types by renaming it (my wife uses the computer so I have to remove some options).

I noticed it too, it seems to be more polished. They removed Caller Name ID app, and for some reason after reboot Google books and movies unfreezes and reappears in the app drawer.

The wifi icon in the status bar has a little arrow/triangle on it too.

Better BT call quality, imo...just had a 30 minute chat. Much easier to hear/be understood.

Thanks for the feedback. I will probably update soon.

I totally understand and I didn't mean to call you out at all. Just figured I'd serve as an example for the noobs out there that want to try it so they can see what challenges a noob would face.

No big deal, as long as it helps make the instructions more accurate I'm happy.

It might be a good idea to mention that Windows by default hides extensions so it would just show up as "boot206", even though it really is "boot206.img", as in your case.

If you're just changing the name it shouldn't change the file type, which is the benefit of having the file type hidden. Therefore when i changed the name I didn't have to type ".img" at the end.

The bottom line is the complete file name should be changed to boot206.img as listed in the instructions. No one has fouled it up yet

I guess I just figured Android/Unix people would have Windows show extensions, in which case you'd need to put the .img in. But for those that have the default, putting the .img would make the file boot206.img.img haha.

The bottom line is, if you don't see the .img originally, don't add it. If you do, then make sure it's still there when you rename it. :icon_ banana:

The link for the unstick utility on page 11 is broken. Does anyone have a working link for it?

This works for me: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/22291559/droid4/unstuck ICS_for_droid_4.7z

Also, I can't seem to get Safestrap 2.0 to work on .208. I install it and it says it's done and when I reboot, I get nothing. It just boots normally. Thoughts?

You need busybox. Get busybox installer from the play store and run it. Then install revovery through safestarp again.

15. Select the Blur_Version.6.13.219.XT894.Verizon.en.US.zip file you placed on your external SD card.

Do you not mean D4.6.16.208.zip ??

That .zip file has the Verizon.US........etc.zip inside it. You need to unzip the D4.etc.zip. it has the actual upgrade, as well as the .crc inside it.
