Hello I was wondering if I just got the ice cream sandwich update, will I still be able o use this method? Or will I have to wait for an updated version of the root files? Thank you for your time
I assume this root method will still work as it has with many updates to this point although I have not tested it. If it does not work it will likely just not do anything but is a judgement call. If you do decide to give it a shot please let us know how it goes. Otherwise we will try to get hold of a Droid 4 over the next few days and try it ourselves.
Ok cool thanks I’ll give this version a try and see how it goes. Once again thanks for your time
