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 special 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!
Updates:
Updated to v2 windows&linux! (thanks kamistral for the Unix port )
Updated to v3 (no unix script included yet, sorry no time!) - Included Sony Tablet S mode
thanks WonderEkin for helping me out there!
Updated to v4 - On many requests i added a unroot option
Updated to v5 - Other renamed to Normal, Xperia T integrated to Normal-Mode, adjusted wait-for-device time to atleast 10 seconds etc...
Updated to v6 - Made it even more simple Checks itself for Xperia S, P etc etc and switches modes automatically. So only 3 modes left: Normal, Tablet S and unroot.
Updated to v7 - Fixed some scripting errors & added some more output!
Updated to v8 - Fixed very very stupid scripting error!
Notice:
This does not wipe any other data, dont worry!
Confirmed devices:
Sony Xperia : S, T, P , Acro S, Ion , Tipo , Tablet S
Google: Nexus 7 [UK Firmware] (thanks Paul O'Brien for test) [seems some firmwares to work and some don't, as i dont have this device myself i would appreciate reports with FW-versions]
XTouch: X401
Jiayu G2-S thanks txakar
LG: P705 thanks mariolcneto, P7510 thanks fdothivanka
