The users of HTC Desire Z or G2 now can update Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 on their phone. If you are a person that want the new ROM updates in their phone or if you are a tester than you should update your phone with the latest Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 version. This is recommended only to the users that know about the testing and developing with the latest modes. If you are a newbie and don’t know much about these new versions than you should not update your device with that version.
In order to make Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 update on your HTC Desire Z or G2 you will have to remember few things.
- Make sure that your phone is charged around 50% to make successful update.
- The data may get lost after that update so create a backup file for all of the data you have in your device.
- You will have to enable USB Debugging mode in your phone. Go to settings- applications- development- USB Debugging to do that.
- Make sure your device is rooted.
Steps to Update Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 Android version:-
- First of all download the ICS Zip File for your HTC Desire Z or G2 phone.
- Now connect your phone to your computer with the USB cable provided with the phone.
- Don’t rename the file you have downloaded in your phone. It should have the Zip format in order to be detected later.
- Now install ROM Manager Application in your phone. Download and install the app in your phone.
- Now open the ROM Manager app in your phone from the applications menu.
- Make sure to create the Back Up of existing ROM of your device.
- Now from the ROM Manager choose the option of –Install ROM from SD Card-. Now you will have to choose the ZIP file you have downloaded earlier.
- Now it will update the Firmware version in few mins. Then go to the option of ++++Go Back++++ and reboot the system.
So this is how you can update your HTC Desire Z or G2 with the latest Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 version. We warn you again if you don’t know much about the testing and all then you should not update your phone with that update. Just follow the instructions as mentioned and you will get the latest update in your device.
I assume this is a vanilla copy of ICS and not an HTC style version with Sense 3.6 or 4.0?, if so I think I’d prefer to choose an OS with more information.
