superoneclick should help get you rooted

http://forum.xda-dev...ad.php?t=803682

then you will need to do a nandroid backup just to save all your shit once you have root download titanium backup to further backup apps and stuff then you will be ready to put a custom ICS rom on it

i think the Nandroid backup if to save your default ROM if something goes wrong with your phone and you need to return it back to factory

Another iPhone eats shit. A 4s. Updated to iOS 6 and it's locked the phone solid. Do a hard reboot and nothing happens.

Same thing happened to an iPhone belonging to one of the sales guys about 4 weeks ago. The phone is now a paper weight.

The tally is now up to two since I started keeping count (so ignore the ~15 prior to that time).

As yet no HTCs or Samsungs have broken and the office is split pretty close to 50/50 Apple vs the rest.

So, i am totally new to phones with apps and all this jazz. Mostly not interested in games or widgets, just want to surf the net

I was just given a HTC Velocity as a temporary phone and was told to get Ice cream sandwich for it

... Can anybody please tell me how i go about doing this?

I would like to avoid the telstra store if possible, so i've come to youse guys first

Go to Settings >> About Phone >> Software Updates and check for updates. If it's not yet on ICS it will do it OTA. And you don't need to back anything up before hand. Just fire it off and after about 5 minutes your phone will reboot and you'll be up to date.

It would just be minor fixes.

Nothing noticeable.

well if its all free id obviously prefer the newer less buggy one, no?

followed that and have found the update. Why cant i see 4.0.3... its just the 4.0?

or is it the same thing?

The .3 on the end is just the build version. I recently updated my galaxy s2 from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 via a OTA update, but to update it to 4.0.3 originally i had to plug it into the computer and use the samsung kies program

I've got a Velocity on ICS and have no issues whatsoever. The only time I ever have very weak or no signal is when in in the elevator at work. Apart from that, I've never seen it without near full service. Hell, I even got service at my parents home which in rural NSW and a mobile wasteland.

if it came loaded with ICS there seems to be issues at all

the update from 2.3.7 has shafted a lot of people

and i'd like to avoid being shafted if possible

Nope, mine came with Gingerbread, I did an OTA update to ICS.

the best way to avoid any issues after updating is to clear the cache afterwards. very few people do this, so they end up with bugs as there is still cache from before the update conflicting with updated firmware.

as i said in an earlier post, i just updated to 4.0.4 on my galaxy s2. had a few issues with the phone freezing for the first few days. cleared the cache and it's been fine ever since. even runs faster than it did straight after the update.

    • Had another look at the car and I noticed the fuel pump isn't priming on ignition. I'd taken out the pump from the boot to siphon out the old fuel, so maybe I've knocked something loose or broken a wire putting things back together. Will go back with a multimeter and try to work out what's stuffed. Kinda hoping it's the pump itself thats gone so I can upgrade it
    • Yeah agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)  
    • I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email.

    • So...to my (and my mechanics doing the swap) surprise...the oil pan from NEO engine does not fit 100% and needs to by modified like this: It is not a huge problem but in the future i want a "proper" oil pan. So question is...what different oil pan can i get to fit without any problems and modification? Thanks! 
    • Some more info I found.  These are the last entries Yoshikiyo Fujii made on his blog before he passed away in 2009: http://blog.livedoor.jp/fujii_dynamics/ And finally this is where the workshop was situated:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhTPtHzt3WVcBTiEA
