I was wondering if this tutorial would be helpful form my Mini, but whenever I try to flash 4.0.3 kernel i simply can't do it. I get an error, and on reboot the phone works just fine.
Well, I was just experimenting... too bad it didn't work :p

problem...

Hello to everybody. This forum is fantastic and the admins are worth-respecting for all the effort and their knowledges. But, I followed step-by-step your instructions to root ics on the sk17i and the result is that I'm stuck on step No: 3. I can't flash the kernel back to 4.0.4 because the phone reboots loop since flashing from 4.0.3. Although I managed to root it I cannot complete the procedure cause of the boot loop. It's doing this for 2 hours now! Please help me! I'm desperate!

happened to me the same. the phone should is off in Step 3. the only way is to remove the battery to the phone and re-plug and to continue the process.
