Define stock ICS. Stock as in Google's vision, or Samsung/T-Mobile's? If the second, yeah.

What? Why did you tell them no?
You don't need to root at all you just download Samsung Kies on your PC or Mac.

What do u mean? Question is not clear. If you are asking about getting ICS on phone without root then yes you can via samsung kies.

I think the OP meant vanilla ics. In which case you would need to root your phone to flash the custom ROM as TMobile nor Samsung is going to release AOSP for our phones.

Questions go in the Q&A section

Tell me if I'm wrong...
but, I'm looking at the notes for installing CWM and root here using odin and it doesn't look like you need root to flash CWM via odin.
Could he/she not install CWM w/o root and then flash a non-root rom (non-existent at the moment, sure, but new CM9 is not rooted by default for security).
So, unless there is something I don't know, then is there any reason that he/she couldn't do as I described?
Honestly, I'm thinking of working on an AOSP rom w/o root for security reasons. I'll have to look into it to see if it's worth it, because, honestly, I've never done it. I mainly just want a reason to get into some C hacking.

io gnex same tool kit instructions?

Hi so I have the gnex that was given out at the Google io and it has been updated to jelly bean
I want to unlock boot loader and root and flash using the gnex tool kit.
Is it the same process as if I were to do it to my regular gnex?

I just got a certified like new replacement due to my horrible reception and the reception on the new one is much better so im going to stay stock on it for the time being until JB is fully released by Verizon.

Because I'm thinking of just chilling with stock ICS too.

x2. Curious as well.

Stock JB 4.1.1 OTA'ed from ICS, love it, still haven't found a reason to do anything beyond flashing CWM and rooting!

Tried others, back to stock rooted....perfect the way it is!

I'm running stock with one change. Custom soft keys.

Are you rooted or stock? If you're stock, I would root as and flash instead of waiting on Verizon. You might be waiting a while if you're waiting on them.

I'm stoke still. I want too root so I can run code name android ROM. I really like it. But my computers broke right now. So I guess I'll just have to wait then.

no need to root; push all needed files to phone, reboot bootloader, flash a custom recovery, wipe data/factory reset, flash a custom rom (gapps if stated on first post)

To my SD card or something?

Did you even look before asking?
Yes there are toolkits. Not that you need them if you spent 15 minutes learning the right way....

OP, lets try this again....And lets do some homework of your own, before posting. There is plenty of information provided, just requires some effort on your part. Thanks.
