MASHI root ICS?

---

Is there a MASHI style root method for stock ICS? Or any method that won't increase the flash counter? Also does the ADB method for flashing CWM work for ICS? (doesn't increase flash counter) THANX!

There IS a flash counter reset you can run through Odin....

But if you're really that worried about your flash counter why flash roms at all?

I too would like to know if adb method works on ICS. Not so much for flash counter, but as an alternative to using Odin.

Why root or flash CWM with a method that trips the flash counter (and void your warranty), IF there is a method that doesn't? (like MASHI's for GB) SO... that brings me back to the original question:

Firstly..Just rooting itself technically voids the warranty flash counter or no...


And the adb method to push cwm "should" work on ics cause the zips still do... as the recovery partition is in the same dev block.

Though i personally haven't even been on anything official since around the first hour of owning the device, so i haven't tried that myself.
