ICS successful update after soft brick, no matt's 1.7 tool needed!
Ok Guys, I got the errors status 0 and status 7. My phone was soft bricked, and froze on the M screen. Here's what I did to solve this, resulting in a successful ICS install!!!!!!!!
Also, NO data loss!!
While stuck on the M screen, press and hold your Power button, Volume +, and Volume - buttons.
Wait until the screen shuts off, then release ONLY the Power button.
While still holding the Volume + and Volume - buttons, the phone will turn back on automatically. This time it will will bring up the menu again.
Select Recovery, and clear the cache twice again. Make sure it does it twice successfully!
Then Select 'Apply Update from SDCard.'
Select the file you put on your sdcard.
ICS installs flawlessly this time!
NO Matt's 1.7 needed, no root, or anything extra!
Your screen should look similar to this for a successful update:
