If you are okay with all that; lets get going!
First we need to backup, just on the off chance this goes wrong. As always, for your SMS messages, use the ‘SMS Backup & Restore’ app. Contacts should be synced up to your Google Account. Any media, copy to your external memory card.
This guide will assume you have rooted your phone. If you haven’t, please root your phone before continuing!
- Download the ICS Android 4.0 Alpha Package, here.
- Connect your phone to the computer and copy the zip you just downloaded onto the SD card.
- Disconnect the phone.
- Turn the phone off.
- Enter recovery mode (press back button when turning on the phone, or constantly slide the QWERTY keyboard.
- Select ‘Install ZIP from SD Card’.
- Select the zip you copied over in step 2.
- Wait for the process to complete, then reboot your phone, either manually or it may do it automatically.
- You should get the default setup screen, asking for Google account login information etc. Then you’re on ICS. Enjoy!
