Yes, you can, but you will lose root and CWM and be back to a "stock" experience. You won't be able to root or install CWM again without downgrading.

Did you try doing a factory reset (volume down + power) after installing the new ICS update?
How do you get CM9 to go into "PC Software" mode? Right now the update software does not see phone is connected?
Thanks

Turn on USB debugging (aka Android debugging) under developer options. I think that will do it.

Can you document the steps you have been going through in attempts to update from ICS Leak. Do you have a rooted ICS Leak configuration?

Just to clarify, when you say it "didn't work", do you mean you couldn't get it to perform the factory reset? or that you did get it to do a factory reset but it didn't fix the problem?
I can confirm. I am on he leaked ICS and can't update to this version. I too get stuck at ATT Rethink logo. I went back to Leaked build.
I tried everything from putting the phone to download mode. Trying the "Recovery option". It seems like everything installs correctly but it gets stuck during the reboot process. Nothing I do can fix it.
Help Needed
Hi All,
I have an UNLOCKED LG Nitro HD and want to update to ICS.
Need some inputs reg. update
1. As my mobile is unlocked can i follow the same procedure of ATT LG update ?
2. Can we do it Windows 7 or Winxp ?

Yes, you can update normally and you will still be SIM unlocked.

i couldt get it to go into factory reset mode apparently. finally got it to reset and now have new version. seems a little laggy when exiting settings and app folder. ah well. battery seems a little better now.
Stuck on "Rethink Possible" screen
I had the same problem.
I came from the rooted leaked ICS trying to update to the official version and got stuck on the rethink possible boot screen.
The way I got my phone to work was via hard factory reset
1 Turn the power off.
2 Press and hold the following keys at the same time for 8 seconds: Down Volume Key + Power/Lock Key
3 Release the keys when the FACTORY HARD RESET screen appears. (I had to try twice to get it to work and the phone needed to be unplugged from PC)
4 Read the warning and press the Power/Lock Key to confirm.
5 Press the Power/Lock Key image to confirm once more
6 Wait for your device to perform a hard reset (don't worry if it seems to be stuck on the rethink possible screen. It may take 1-2 minutes and the phone will start up properly).

I couldnt agree with you more, seems like those added features to disable unused programs and save battery actually made it worse.
I might be the only idiot but I could not get it to work till I took sd card and sim out of the phone.
I had to restart after drivers installed and use another port on laptop as the old usb one won't work...weird.
Anyways, after removing sim and sd, all I had to do was use a new fresh port after restart of computer and it all went well till I got stuck on AT&T logo. After 5 minutes, I pulled the battery out and restarted with vol down + power button and did a factory reset and all is working well now.
Thank you very much

he could try a jig to force ODIN mode... but yeah best bet is to fix the volume button.

yea, i thought of that too, but am very unfamiliar with it. fixing the volume key should be fairly inexpensive thankfully.
amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/B004XJCWW8/asamf-21
would this work?
// repairing the volume button is not possible, the sendet it already to a few handy repair guys, all sayed its to expensive to repair it, >200€
Do it yourself. If you can't figure out how to repair a volume rocker you don't have any place trying to use a jig.
Hello, since I had my sprint lg optimus g, I played a lot with it, because we don't have sprint here in Venezuela, so I had to set the phone to be used here. It seems that i play too much whit it and bring it to a hard brick, the phone does nothing, not even recognized by the pc. So I wonder if this can be arranged in any way? If the screen of this model can be put to the international model with no problems? If the logic board of the international version can work with the rest of the hardware of this version? In advance thank you very much.

What happens when you hold volume down button and power together? It should bring up the factory recovery and you should be able to do a hard reset. Press power again to do the reset.

That's odd. A couple of days ago, you were on a T-Mobile ROM and in "beast mode." The ROM's developer seemed incredulous as to how you had gotten into "beast mode." I suspect there's a lot more going on here than you're letting on.
Under the circumstances, I don't think I can help you.
Yeah i jumped backed to Jasmine
I like roms whats wrong with that, just checking if you can help thats all
Ive been doing this since s3

iYhis is the first time this ever happened and it wasnt even on my watch lol
I was using my phone like I usually do, and then it suddenly froze. So I held down the power button, forcing it to restart. Ever since, the screen only shows "Google" for a while, then becomes blank; no booting animation. It would restart itself occasionally.
I tried booting into recovery mode by holding Power+VolDown, and selecting "recovery mode". For the first few tries, it would go back to the Google screen, the turn blank. After giving it a break and trying again, I finally got to the "no command" screen, and I wiped the cache partition. Sadly, I'm still having the same problem.
Is this a bootloop? How can I fix this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This happened to me and Google sent a replacement phone. However the replacement phone is a refurbished phone that suffers from ghost touches Now trying to get a replacement for the replacement.

The bootloader allows the phone to be unlocked to flash custom ROMs on it, without it unlocked you'll brick your phone. Read up about rooting your phone first so you can get the idea of what goes into it before attempting it. Once you get the general idea of unlocking the phone and flashing things on it, it becomes relatively easy. There's even a nexus root toolkit on this forum that you can download on your computer for free as well as "how-to's" for doing it

Wait...what?? So if I choose to factory reset my phone now without unlocking the bootloader, it might become completely useless? Is rooting necessary?

No is not necessary, but in order to re flash the factory image to fix the problem the bootloader must be unlocked. You never have to root your device but having a unlocked bootloader is essential to flashing anything on your device other wise like I said, you'll brick your phone. You can even lock it back to full stock once you've re flashed the image.
Edit: there's another way of flashing the factory image but it requires some searching. You might not be able to do it the way I'm explaining to you Because you would have to give it permission to be unlocked in the developers option while the phone is booted up and operative

When u first bought your phone and it takes you through the set up window, when it asked you to put in your email, that right there backs up all your apps that you previously had in the phone so when you go through the setup again, it's going to ask you if you want to start as a new phone or recover your previous apps. You won't be able to recover all of your data but you should be able to recover all of your apps.
