What's new?

V1.0
- EternityProject EasyRootICS works for any ICS 4.0.4 builds:
- Devices Tested: HTC One X and Motorola Razr and Droid 4! It may work to more devices!
- su binary updated
- Superuser app: switched to SuperSU by Chainfire
- Correct installation of Busybox

Fixed Linux build.

Note: If you get a 'su/superuser' already exist message, use the alternate root method created by Dan Rosemberg with su binaries and superuser app updated by me. Get it here
Notice: This is an alternate root method, don't use it as primary root tool there's a reason for that.

How do I unroot from this?

Just run the SuperSU and press 'Full unroot' (if you have superuser app installed uninstall it first with an app like Titanium Backup)
