[GUIDE] ROOT/UNROOT Stock ICS Firmware without flashing unsecure kernel

[Rachmat3]

Simple way to root and unroot stock kernel without flashing insecure kernel.
Don't worry about custom counter and yellow triangle, with this method they never appear, because we only rooting, it's a rooting script not a custom kernel.
This rooting script included Busybox installer.

worked perfectly on LPH. I reset my counter with Jig, updated to LPH(the bootloader too) and used this to use CWM and root. I ended up restoring my CM9 backup and now I'm on the new bootloader(feels faster, may be just me) with no triangle. Thanks!

Do you loose the ability to install apps to sd card like when you use CF-Root kernels or is it a safe method?
Thanks

About the bootloader that came with lph, when you select it, do you also check update bootloader in odin?
Thanks

the above link doesnt work not even the original one.. when i reboot i can see su and while installing tb patcher it does ask for root access but while activating patch it say root access denied

You may have the Holy Grail here - a rooting method that doesn't need USB/PC connection.

As far as I know, there is nothing else that can do this.

Market it as such, and you're on a winner.

Any reason why someone without said connection abilities couldn't root with this ROM and then change accordingly?

Still many who don't want ICS, but I'd be interested to hear if anyone's rooted via this method and then successfully changed to GB.

Sounds good thanks for sharing..

 

[geistteufel]

the cwm screen blink and reset, they is a problem.
I need to use internal sd or external sd ?

 

[GRACO]

This will trigger the yellow triangle?

 

[Rachmat3]

This will trigger the yellow triangle?

Its not a kernel, so this will not give you yellow triangle.

 

[angelossssss]

Will work on 2.3.6 ?

I'm on official XWLA4.

If it does first i install the CWM.zip and then the SU-Installer-signed.zip ?

 

[maddesire]

It still says "signature verification failed"

Any luck boys?

My bad! Works fine...
For those who are still stuck, please flash the CWM first and then flash the SU Signed zip file...

This works on ICS as well...

Thanks mate, you ROCK!

 

[angelossssss]

Didnt work for me.

Tried to flash but both packages say signature verification failed...

Any solution to that?
