How to root ICS

[joearaujo5488]

Most ICS/JB devices now accepting XDA universal root method


If you lost root because of ICS or unrooted, this method works....its a batch file...just choose option number '4. other'...and your phone will ask to restore..jus hit restore..and you have root..easy stuff

Can you confirm this? While there is no need to result in name calling. Posting up something and saying it works is a bit different from proving it works.

They have a zip that you can flash for it on ICS ...

but i would need cwm no? or could i flash that from the stock recovery? ive seen they have a apk version and zip flashable version....but i need my phone to be deodexed as one of the requirements and cwm..everything else looks good..

Sorry, I got yelled at by my Dad and when that happened it made me so mad the camera wouldn't work and I had the Face login on and it didn't put up anything and just automatically crashed.

So I just tried this method and I was not able to click restore. It was asking me for the phones encryption password, and since my device is not encrypted, I have no clue what it is asking me for, so I had to bail on it.

You can't be everything to everyone man....no worries....not really in a big hurry to root anyways...the bloat isn't as bothersome in ICS as it was in GB to me. Diggin' the stock right now....Perhaps as I get older I just become more of a simple man, or I just am happy to get the update so I'll deal with stock right now....not that I'm a custom rom guy or anything...just don't like having to see the NBA and NASCAR apps....I don't watch either sports so why do I have to have apps for them!? lol.

Hmm. That happened to me once, but I think I just reran it and it worked. Doing that every time?
