You might want to check the rooting tag-wiki, follow it up to How do I root my Android device?, go to the section titled "Methods/apps", and take a look at available methods, especially Root Many Android which should work for many ICS/JB devices. If you succeeded, please answer your own question with details on the steps required. Thank you!– IzzyCommented Jun 25, 2013 at 16:06
