[#1]

Hi guys,

      I am happy with ICS update.Its good actually.Can u guyz please tell me how to root  ICS on mini pro i dont wish to unlock bootloader.

[#2]

ya i think i have to wait .If i repair(re install) my phone using sus ,will i lose the root??

[Uliwooly]

if you repair your phone with either SUS or PCC you will lose rooting

anytime

Thanks, worked well with the Neo kernel. Just a note to anyone else - that kernel won't actually boot properly (screen will be blank or will have a red LED and bright white back button LED). Don't worry, the rooting toolkit still works fine - run it and try. After rooting and flashing back the 4.0.4 kernel it all sorts itself out.

(Make sure you have the drivers from flashtool installed and prior to flashing the 4.0.3 kernel set USB debugging and allow arbitrary apps)

Strange. When I tryied Neo kernel it says Debuging is off even if it was on with genuine kernel. Still no root. I dont want to setup all things again.

Before flashing should i mark or unmark 'exclude TA(simlock.ta)' .I excluded everything except 'kernel'. I  used neo v rom to flash sk17i kernel and i couldn't flash the kernel.

Hold on for sometime, i will directly link the kernels to flash,

maybe after 1-2 days...

kernels for arc and arc s are ready, willl do that for others as well

Need to download every firmware and then disect it

OK I did Root with this method:
