How to root 4.0.4

[#3]

Awesome dude.Given steps are easy to understand.thanks :smileyhappy:.Now going to root .

[#4]

Is there a 4.0.3 for Mini Pro?:smileyconfused:

[#5]

Nabeel can u post 4.0.3 firmware link for mini pro  and can u plz tell me how to flash only the kernel from 4.0.4 using flash tool??

[Nabeel]

Both of you use kernel for Neo or Neo V

4.0.3 was not released for mini pro

and the method to flash 4.0.4 kernel is same as that of 4.0.3

And remember : rooting and flashin would void your warranty and you are doing it at your own risk

Thanks dude. i have a doubt.i havealready  updated my mini pro to ics using sus.Should i again install  ics rom using flash tool and repair it using sus? 

[Nabeel]

Oh my, you don'y have to install whole rom using flashtool but just the kernel...

i would suggest you to rather wait for sometime till a developer finds a way to root 4.0.4 directly

What say ?

[#9]

hmm but cant wait to root my phone

[Nabeel]

Maybe you need to wait for just few days...

The thing is arc ., arc s, neo , neo v, ray are quite easier to root as they got the 4.0.3 update and 4.0.3 is possible to root, so by flashing kernel and then rooting works

But all other mobiles did not get 4.0.3 and hence they don'y have 4.0.3 kernel unlike arc, neov etc.....

So the method of changing kernels worked for some but not for all ....
