Root MANY ANDROID! [Upd: 13.10.2012]


Hi,

i made a small script which is able to root ICS/JB phones. It uses a remount timing issue in Androids "adb restore" service. 
So normally it should work on nearly all ICS/JB devices, for some it won't but the idea may work in a slightly modded version 

There is a case for Xperia T and Xperia S,P etc. phones, this phones run ICS but don't have android's native restore with adb, Sony has added a own custom "Backup&Restore" app, the script handles this cases too, just choose the correct option!

Have fun with it and if you like you can donate to me 

How-To:
1.) Download attached file.
2.) Extract it using 7zip
3.) Double click the RunMe.bat and follow instructions!
Xperia phones = Normal mode
Sony Tablet and similar = Special mode
