hehe my biggest fear is imei. how can i backup it? will it be enough to just make backup of folder efs?

copy all folder in pink screen mode after that just update...(dload) and enjoy 2.3.5
after that u also able to flash ics 4.0
best of luck

Install 5Iromtoolbox and backup you imei, then install the rom

Don't install the latest release if you want to root your phone later and install a custom rom (is easier with 522 version).

Also remember to revert to the original partition layout, if you changed it using Geno's script. you can revert back later.
bootloader becomes inaccessible after 518 version. read the guide on getting the pink screen after you upgrade.

this is it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457490
but before pink screen you must get proper recovery (i used root explorer) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377390
and to get recovery, your phone must be rooted xD http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420728

I just had version 2.5.0.1 installed. Then I purchased and installed ROM Manager Premium. It downgraded me to 2.0.2.1.
Why isn't this the latest version? And what will happen if I just re-flash back to 2.5.0.1? Will ROM Manager have a fit? Or will it just display the new re-flashed version?
Resolved: I just used ROM Manager to upgrade back to 2.5.0.1. Piece of cake...I think I like this program!

I hope so.
If the first versions are working, I can fix it. It could be related to the modified battery driver, though, it shouldn't actually freeze with it. Do you have the updated baseband when installing stock GB?

[Mod] 30 Steps Media Volume for Blefish's cm11.0

This modification increments the media volume steps from 15 to 30 so you have more precise control of the media volume levels.
Modification is done in framework.jar.
Click here for more information and instructions if you want to do it by yourself with other number of steps.
Read before flashing:
Do not install this to any other rom than Blefish's cm11.0 (do not use with other updates than in the downloads).
You do this at your own risk, I'm not responsible of any lost data or malfunctions in your device caused by this modification.
I suggest that you have a nandroid backup of your device before you flash this.
But don't be scared it should only change the framework.jar of the rom to a modified one.
Installation:
Reboot to recovery (No need to wipe anything)
Flash the cm11-YourRomVersion-modified-media-volume.zip (If you want to go back to the stock media volume steps flash the cm11-YourRomVersion-stock-media-volume.zip)
Reboot to system (On the first boot it will take a while because it will rebuild the dalvik cache)
Done
Downloads in the attachments.

I didn't have time to update this for the new cm11 update so I used that xposed module and I have to say that that made it very easy to get more steps for media volume :laugh:

Don't use this with newest cm11 update because there are some changes in framework.jar. I recommend to use the xposed framework module.
I should probably update this mod for the newest update if someone is interested.
