Edit,
just a problem, i tried pulling the update from the sdcard but aio doesnt recognize my external sd...even if the system does -___-

thx for your support guys youre great

i actually manged to get it going. problem depended somehow on the drivers.
got a workaround by a complete reinstallation of the android sdk, and its components.

besides, if u got a x64 system, better get 64bit java aswell (signing the package didnt work with 32bit java on my 64bit win7)

---

what i´ve reached so far: with the wonderful aio 4.0 i managed to get the android 4.0.3 release 2 (germany) rooted and installed

if someone nedds help regarding this , i may can help aswell, but the rockers in this are definately condi & stifilz

i will post info about the kernel in this ( or just my?) update tomorrow.
and some pics? (if anyone want some)

tell me - you had new ICS recovery already, and auto-flashing should work - was it flashing fully automatic?

need to know all details if AiO v4.0 worked without problems,
or do I need to change some details

If you dont have root now then you cant preroot ics r2. The update however improves 3g quality.
It is the same as the link above

everything worked out quite smooth.
outgoing situation was my honeycomb 3.2.1 r2 with kernel 8.
i rooted it with your tool
then i turned on the backdoor, just in case.

i got the message of the ota 4.0.3r2 and downloaded it ota and putted it in the sd-card.

well, besides the little driver-based problem (in case of the sdcard and AIO) and that you need Java RE 64bit (at least on a 64bit system), which didnt let me do a automatic flash ( i had to manually sign the update then, but that was totally awesome smooth, with the right Jre), everything was okay.

a little problem i encountered was that my 14-15mb "safe-install zip (the update file which fails so it can communicate with AIO) wasnt called "_hack_recovery" instead of just "înstall.zip" (got a bit confused on that ;P)

after that, running the custom zip and seeing your intro, everything was totally awesome

ics and superuser installed then i made a factory reset. ( wondered a bit because then i was on HC back, but after a restart i was on the rooted ics again)

in short, i didnt really do alot of things (until the sign, which failed because of jre)
just read the instructions on aio, little manually restart to recovery here and there, and choosing the right zips
did the job for me. thanks man, your AIO IS AWESOME! ^^




@tasar I was in the complete same situation. prerooting did the job for me, i know it can be confusing in the part where there are comments of users who got a kernel -switch to something like 10 , which isnt rootable. Tbh i dont know if this depends on unique tabs or the updates. Atm i would say, the german update uses kernel 5 ( at least for me), which is rootable as long as you preroot the update before install.

But my problem, my S wasnt rooted before OTA Update so i cant prerooted it After the last OTA Update (fixed O2 Data problem) the kernel was #5.
I have the hope that everyone from the devs are able to root a non prerooted ICS 4.0.3. I would pay for that! because i hate the non writeable sd_card and some other things which can only be changed with root.

P.S. Sorry for my kiddy englisch

then we have to change the question in a different way : where is the possibility to install the prerooted zip on your ics. downloading the update should work obviously thx to stifilz. but i dont know the part of signing and installing the custom package (in this case). sorry :/
