ok, so verizon sent me a warranty replacement and I want to stay on ICS with root like I was before the Christmas day change...

which root method should I use for a 1 click method for ICS 4.0.4 that I can 1 click back to stock in case I want to upgrade to JB later? I searched, but there are so many methods I just want to get the latest/easiest one

thanks for all the info, mucho appreciated!

when I run the utility in AP fastboot mode it comes up, - then when I press "any key" the utility disappears? I have the drivers installed
I tried to run as administrator also... what am I missing?

Did you completely extract the utility to your desktop?

Sounds like you're at the point where you should be booted and running the utility. You must still be in recovery.

OK when you plug in to the computer let the computer recognize the phone then switch to mass storage mode let the computer recognize the phone then back to mtp mode.... try to run option 2 again.... what this does is makes sure the drivers are fully installed....

Change your windows username.. If you have for example Jack & Jill for a logon name in windows, it will do that to you.. Create a new windows profile, something is wrong with your current one, name it something like Jack with Admin rights and try again..

I did this by accident to make sure the phone was in mtp mode and then tried again and success!

Did you have to change your username, because I had an issue with one user on the same exact thing, and no matter how many times I re-installed and rebooted, remoted into his pc, it wouldn't work until he created a new user account without the "&"

No on the safe Strap until you have followed all of matts steps to the T on page 1.. update your root like he says, and run Voodoo 4 times etc..

Helpful tip, Clean your phone of any old Safe Strap stuff etc.. A wipe will not do this 100% for you

no, luckily it worked after re-installing the drivers and changing from USB mass storage to mtp and back again. each time I switched it re-installed the drivers.
