Dickson, TN.
I don't know if the problem was me or you (probably me) but the download of .232 wouldn't finish. It cheerfully downloaded for 15 minutes, told me it had downloaded all MBs of the MBs of the file (sorry, can't remember the exact number), and that I had "0" seconds left to download, but it never completely finished it off. When I closed Chrome at that point (after it did nothing else for several minutes) the download showed up in my Downloads menu as "Cancelled."

I repeated. Same result. Tried (probably stupidly) to proceed with what I'd downloaded and (not surprisingly) got an error. Ended up having to download it from someplace else.

I noticed people wanting to try out the latest ICS build were having trouble finding links to some of the needed files so I am going to try to help out by hosting the files people are asking for the most. The below files have been used by me several times going from the various ICS leaks and back so I know they work. This post is not intended to provide support for any of the below files, just provide a additional place to get them. Your more than welcome to link to this post but please don't post the download links directly. If you have a problem with any of the links let me know and I'll look at it.

I am a bit of a newb when it comes to this but I went ahead and copied the zip onto my external and then booted into the recovery mode and I cannot select an option to install the zip. I am running .905 currently and wanting to go to .232

any suggestions?

I must have a crooked eye or something. I was pushing the volume down and the power button to get into the recovery mode!

Many, many thanks sir! :D

*WARNING* 232 above is the last ICS leak you can go back to the .905 ( gingerbread) upgrade path with. Should you choose to flash version .235 below, you'll be on ICS forever due to new encryption used to lock down this version .

First, thanks for all the help to those of us less tech knowledged. Quick question, I downloaded and have successfully used ICS for a few weeks now. Unfortunately damaged my phone but through insurance have just gotten a replacement. Would it be best to go back to 905 before I send it back? I'm running 6.7.2233 and loving it.

Adara are you talking about the first link, ICS. 232? It just downloaded fine for me and looks like it has 55 downloads. Maybe MediaFire was having a problem. Sorry you couldn't complete your download.

Has anyone else had trouble getting this file?

Yup, I just finished getting the copy to the sd card and tried 3 times. It says E: signature verification failed/ Instal aborted

Ok, so I went back and looked over everything and found I did NOT use the RSD Lite. So I will go back and download that and retry it again.

Yup, this is the broken phone I'm sending back and did get it to 905 with RSDlite. My replacement phone is on 905 too but I think I'm going to go back and ICS it again. I have tasted the IceCream and it is good. Now that I know how to go back to 905 and be able to get OTA updates when it does finally come out it should be easy. Once again, many thanks.
