****Follow these directions...its what I did when I first got tired of ICS....I've done it about 3-times...it works great.....
****First...download that rom...unzip...in the folder you'll see "update.zip" ...put that on the root of your EXTERNAL sd card...
***Next...turn off tab....turn it back on holding the up volume button and power...let go of the power button BUT KEEP your finger holding down the up volume button....LET TAB DO ITS THING..
***After that...it'll reboot...hold the power button down until the tab turns off (yes...during the reboot phase)...
***Flip the screen lock switch down...(so you see the red)....turn on tab holding the power button and the down volume button...LET GO OF THE POWER BUTTON BUT NOT THE VOLUME DOWN....flip the screen lock flip a few times...you'll see some writing on the tab (i believe like its wiping the cache etc)...
***The tab will restart...I wouldn't set anything up...because your next step is to UPGRADE your rom with this package

BTW: just so you know, this is the wrong section. You should have posted this in General. Not flaming intended
Link Down..
It looks that vache-android is down D=..
Does anyone has another link to that update.zip file?
--Sorry for my english
I had the same problem when trying to do the hard reset, then found better instructions. When you do the hard reset follow these steps exactly:
1. Place the rotation lock switch in the up position
2. Press and hold the Volume down button, which is located farthest from the rotation lock
3. With the Volume down button held, press and hold the Power button for 3 seconds then release it. Continue holding the Volume down button.
4. Once the tablet vibrates, switch the rotation lock on and off repeatedly while still holding the Volume down button.
5. Release the Volume down button and stop switching the rotation lock once the "Erasing Userdata..." message appears in the upper left corner of the screen
6. Once the factory reset has been completed your tablet will load to the Welcome screen.
7. Your Factory Data Reset has completed now follow the onscreen steps to setup your tablet.
Stock Rom (Update.zip) needed for step one can be found HERE
I have been unable to get my hands on the 3.2.1 update. Still looking. If anyone has it let me know so I can upload/share.
Edit: Both files required for this procedure are now available at the link I provided

Hi Cheeb!
The 2nd file that you provided a link for seems to be an entire image (based on size). Are you sure it is necessary to flash the original firmware first or do you think we can simply flash the 3.2.1 and then perform the Hard Reset?
Thanks!

I've never tried it that way (only because I did EXACTLY as the other post specified)...I think there was some sort of issue with the flashing of the 3.2.1 straight from ICS....either a boot loop or something similar....
I started a thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592993 which some moderator in an apparent moment of tyranny closed.
However, before it was closed, someone had given an helpful answer. So if you run into trouble trying to revert back to honeycomb, flash the ICS 009 leak first and you can follow the other steps as detailed in this thread.
That is the only step that worked for me.

Yes....that is the only step IF YOU UNLOCKED YOUR BOOTLOADER WITH ICS AND NEED TO RETURN BACK TO HONEYCOMB....
BTW...why are you returning to honeycomb?? I have not done the whole bootloader bit because of the large amount of incompatibility with ICS..

What leak? 012?....if so...it will let you go back to HC..as far as the OTA ..well...I don't know...
If you want the "OTA" rom..then the 014 posted in the devs section IS the OTA your looking for...it has been confirmed from people who received the OTA (014) and people who flashed the posted rom (014) that they are the SAME.
As far as going back to HC...my MAIN concern was always having the opportunity to go back to it because of the touch screen issues.....the new STOCK rom that has been posted fixed those issues for the most part...there are still some compatibility issues but that is to be expected when moving to a new operating system....
Just flash the rom...screw the OTA..
OR if you have the 012 leak (or any other leak prior to the 014...and I say that only because I haven't tried to go back to HC from 014) then try this procedure that I've done damn near 20 different times which worked perfectly...

Yes, that is what I did, and I followed the steps in Post #2. The only difference is that I didn't use the 2007.04 zip file since I had already downloaded the 2007.01 download. All that did was ensure that I had one more update OTA to get to 2007.04 but it worked all the same.

Can someone guide me step by step on how to get ics on my captivate glide? I have absolutely no clue how/what rooting is and what roms are. I have looked on this forum for guides but I can't really understand them. So could someone please help me with step by step instructions on how to do this? Also, if I do this, will I be able to get the official ics when at&t releases it? Thanks
Keep in mind this will wipe all of your data, as well as the internal memory, so if you need to back up pictures or anything, now's the time to do it. This will leave you with a stock recovery, stock kernel, and unrooted AT&T stock rom with the typical AT&T bloatware. It should be fine to update to the official update once it comes out, but no one knows for sure. You'll want to have at least 50% battery, just to be on the safe side.
First, make sure you have Kies installed, so that you have the correct USB drivers. Download the 4.0.4 .exe file from here. Power off your phone, hold Volume Up and Power to turn it back on. Keep holding them until you get a screen warning you about custom software, and release, then press volume up again to enter download mode. Hook the phone up to your pc, and launch the .exe you downloaded. Click the start button, and wait patiently.
You can stop there, or you can root your device and fix the keyboard backlight bug in the leak as well as remove some bloatware if you want. For this, you'll need Odin 1.85, Clockworkmod Recovery, SuperUser 3.2 RC3, and the Keyboard Backlight fix.
Copy the backlight fix and super user zips to your internal memory, and reboot the phone into download mode using the same method as above. Connect the USB, and run Odin 1.85. Uncheck "F. Reset Time" and make sure that the only box checked is Auto Reboot, you shouldn't need to change anything. Click on the PDA button, and load the clockworkmod .md5 file you downloaded, then press the start button and wait for the device to reboot.
This time you'll reboot into recovery. Power the phone off, hold the volume down and power button to turn the phone one. Keep holding them until you see text about entering recovery in the top left, and release. Use the volume keys to navigate and power to select, and go to Install zip from sdcard. Select Choose zip from sdcard, and select the superuser zip you downloaded earlier. Select Yes, and wait for superuser to flash. Once that's finished, repeat the process, this time selecting the keyboard backlight fix zip. Next, we'll make a quick backup so you can restore to this point in case you mess anything up when removing bloatware. Select Backup and restore, and backup. This will take a bit, just be patient. When you're finished, select reboot system now, and you should be set.
From here, you can install something like Titanium Backup, which will use root access to let you remove the various AT&T bloatware.

I love you.
Perfect guide, thanks
bakageta's guide was great!
Being a regular part of the forum means that you get used to the jargon. But for someone starting off with Android ROMs, this is perfect.
Being new to the ics, I currently have my glide still stock, the only mods I have done are rooting, WiFi tethering fix, and gps fix. It still has the e3 recovery. Do I need to unroot, or anything it install ics? Also with the leaked ics, can I still use the WiFi tethering and such? Would it be worth installing considering battery life, cpu usage? How slow is it compared to the stock 2.3.5?
Thanks

Wifi tethering needs a fix, but there are instructions for how to do it in the development forum. You don't need to unroot or do anything special to install ICS, but you should make backups of important stuff just in case. My battery life is the same or slightly better than AT&T 2.3.5 stock, and the device doesn't feel any slower.

Thanks, it all sounds good. I'll look for the fix, I just dont want to loose what I already have! but on the other hand I'm ready for a change, ether a new phone or loading a new rom! I know the official update has just been released from att, I'm not sure if I should just wait for it to be offered here rooted or try the leaked version!
You can use any free or paid tethering as well.. I haven't run the fix because my foxfi still running fine.
Current System:
CWMR Touch 6.0.0.1 (Stable)
i927ruclg9 ICS 4.0.4 stock

Thank you so much for the help on this, extremely straightforward and thorough, A+++
Thanks bakageta for a great walk-through. I just picked up this phone for my better half who's used to having a keyboard (BlackBerry Pearl user) so I wanted to get her onto ICS and get the keyboard lighting issue fixed. I had an account on here previously but I hadn't logged in for over a year.

After upgrading to 6.0.1 via OTA the touch screen does not respond anymore.

How can I restore back to previous version or do a factory reset? Device is stock/locked.

From what you are saying the power/volume up/down buttons work. So boot into the bootloader mode hold the down volume button in and the while holding this button in press and hold the power button in until it boots into bootloader mode then release both button. At this point you will get android on it side with belly open. Press the volume down button the get to where it says Recovery Mode in the large arrow. Now tap the power button this should put you in recovery mode. After the Google name goes away you will see the android with a red ! point. Press and hold the power button and while doing tap the power Up button. This will bring you to a menu list use the page up/down keys to select the Wipe data/factory reset, then hit power to execute.
The easiest way to roll back would be to visit WugFresh Nexus Root Toolkit web page and use their tool. Link here!
Good luck and report back with results and/or help needed.
Was able to factory reset.
Now I am at the Lang select screen and the touch still not responsive.
Maybe it is hardware issue?

Sounds like a possibility. However, it was working prior to the 6.0.1 upgrade. I would try rolling back to 6.0.0 or even 5.1.1 to see what that does for you.
Installed custom recovery (TWRP) and the touch screen works fine while in recovery mode.
Now I will try to flash a different rom version and see if the touch screen still functions.
Thanks.
After I did Factory Reset via TWRP, the touch screen is like new. I'm good for now.

Guys,
Does anyone have problem accessing recovery after update.
I update it to MM 6.0, phone works fine but just does not get to recovery. I tried from boot but no sucess.
Everything is stock, non rooted.
Any idea what may be wrong?
I also can't access recovery (red triangle) and it says that system software modified, even though I haven't touched anything, only install the OTA update.
What can I do to revert to official status and regain recovery? Also flashing a RUU will delete my files or no?

RUU flash will delete everyting for sure.
I'll try in the afternoon to flash RUU then unlock bootloader and be ready as soon as root method be published.
I have that red triangle as well and i can acces the stock recovery. When that triangle appears press the power button and the volume up once at the same time. Or hold the power button and press the volume up button . Either way it (don't know wich) it works for me

Yes, its not clear, but the OP may be confused about the fact that when you see the red triangle, that is the stock recovery (then perform the button sequence above to access the recovery menu options).
