Root Android Devices With Bin4ry’s Root Tool [How to Install]

A new universal root tool for devices running on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) has been released by an XDA recognised developer known as Bin4ry.

The tool is expected to run on Sony Xperia T, Xperia S and Xperia P, though these devices do not have an Android's native restore with adb. While the company has added its own custom "Backup & Restore" app, the tool has the ability to handle such devices.

The xda-developers forum notes a list of confirmed devices including Sony Acro S, Ion, Tipo, Tablet S. The other devices include Nexus 7 (UK firmware), LG P705, P7510, HTC One S, Samsung Galaxy S2 and more.
