Every time you install an update.app via ota or SD card, your phone will need to be rooted and the bootloader unlocked (if the bootloader is locked). If you did use the Gingerbread method to unlock ICS then that maybe an issue but as far as unlocking your phone, then you did the right thing using the .exe.

I didn't repeat the Gingerbread unlock after the successful ICS upgrade, I just ran the exe.

I'm really not sure wether to update or not, I'm currently using official 2.3.6 with LauncherPro Plus and am pretty happy, will Launcher Pro work ok with ICS? what benifits will I gain from upgrading to ICS?

i think it looks better . most of the apps seem easier to use. you can get nova/apex launchers which are much better than launcher pro. new widgets..etc

My G300 is unlocked and currently on o2,  if I install this update will it be locked to Vodafone again?  Thanks.

[psionandy]

the network lock is completely separate from the OS upgrade... so that shouldn't be a problem for you

[subrec90]

Great, thanks.

To anyone that OTA updated: What is your build number shown in Settings > About phone > Build number

I don't know if it's just me but I'm rather confused as to why some people have B936F (which is the new fixed update from Vodafone) and some have the older B936. This doesn't make any sense.

There definitely IS a fixed ROM as quite a few people are reporting no issues with the new OTA.. so these people must have B936F.

[timfimjim]

Perhaps the people that updated ota by manually updating to b895 first got the b936 no f?

[lowrider007]

[bryfly]

Just had a text from Vodafone to say I can update over air to ics but I would need to go back to ginger bread first, tried this yesterday and no go. question's are

1) As there is conflicting reports about the new ICS is it worth it?

2) If so how the devil do I get Ginger bread to load when im running the S3 rom.....just get install aborted through cwm
