Hi all,

Found this on the vodafone uk blog

[Guest Hans Gruber]

nice find :D

Worth nothing it's B936

Also I wonder what the difference between the 2 versions is? Both same size.

[Guest mattia107]

Sorry, I meant the 2 different versions of ICS. One is labelled as "05011EEY" and the other "05011EFA"

I think they're both the same. Both UPDATE.APPs have the same MD5 of A14B2201529E3DD8AE21CDEE78D3C8C7

[Guest mattia107]

Yeeeeeeeeeah :D

[Guest b4da55]

Mans thought id be stuck on 926 for ever.

Awoooooo!

So why release 2

Hmmnnn

[Guest johnpeterman]

I have zero experience with this kind of things. My phone is stock b892, no root, no cwm.

Is it safe if I follow the steps in the pdf or should I wait for OTA? What's the worst thing that could happen?

No idea why but from what I can see the only difference between the two zips is the pdf file included.

I plan to throw this over my stock B892 unrooted G300 when I get in tonight, I'll let you know if it's stable.

[Guest schkinx]

So is this the Real Deal .. I'm wetting myself here lol :P

[Guest emu123]

can you do an update from a phone that is rooted and running a custom rom on 2030 baseband?

[Guest johnpeterman]

Thanks, Colin.

[Guest Colin Whiteside]

Will this have all that Vodafone crap installed?

Yes. If you're rooting though that shouldn't prove a problem, and odds are that Paul Modaco (if he's still making an ICS ROM) and the ROM makers here will have a stripped-down version of it out in a matter of days.

[Guest kieranswhite]

so if i'm on infusion i have to downgrade to GB then back to official ics??

[Guest tcpaulh]

Hope there are significant changes/improvements despite version number being all too familiar. ICS slowdowns, memory management, apps not responding, mountpoint issues and hw accelerated ui are just a few things that spring to mind. Will not be happy if some of these issues have not been addressed.

Our device and lesser devices can handle it. Look at ics/jellybean on the blade. In terms of responsiveness it's light years ahead of any of the g300 ics releases. I've got both.

Something is awfully wrong with ics on the g300 and Vodafone better not be palming us off with more of the same.

strange the pdf file is there on both the packages i have just downloaded.?????

[Guest FrankieADZ]

has anyone been able to root/unlock the bootloader with Unlockbootloader.exe?

also....whats the difference between the 2?
