It’s a rite of passage for just about every major Android device, the capability that separates Android from lesser platforms (which will remain nameless here). And now the much-delayed HTC EVO 4G LTE, in all its acronymical glory, has root capabilities. You can send your thank-you notes to XDA Developers member ZedonMax, who posted the exploit …
The brand new Samsung Galaxy S III hasn’t even hit the shelves yet and it’s already been rooted. Thanks to the awesome and well known XDA Developer Chainfire we now have full access before the phone is even commercially available. The only issue with achieving root is the fact he doesn’t have the device in-hand …
Well that didn’t take long. The Samsung Galaxy S III, would-be king of smartphones and not due to release in any market for a week and a half, has already been rooted. Noted XDA member Chainfire posted the steps that he took to root a stock Galaxy S III – without saying exactly how he …
In the continuing mild drama that is Google Wallet‘s security, there’s a new wrinkle to report. The latest update is specifically for the HTC EVO 4G LTE (which won’t be released any time soon – thanks, Apple!) and a small bug fix. But why is the application suddenly asking for root access? Rooted users found …
Ah, root. It’s a sort of coming-of-age test for an Android device, in that brief (and sometimes nonexistent) gap between a phone’s retail release and the point at which the modder community beats it into software submission. The time has come for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, the mild refresh to one of the most successful 10-inch …
AT&T customers are still pretty upset at the arbitrary locked bootloader on the HTC One X, but at least they can do some basic modifications: root has been achieved. XDA Developers member Kenneth Penn has posted a one-click root solution for the LTE version of the One X, and it should also work on the phone …
Samsung’s newest tablet in the Galaxy Tab 2 has been getting some attention from developers the past couple of weeks. Over the weekend it received root access and now Clockworkmod recovery is also available. Hopefully next on the list is CyanogenMod 9, then we’ll be set. Details and links are available after the break.
It’s been quite a while since mainstream wireless tethering apps were available in the Android Market/Google Play Store, presumably because US carriers aren’t keen to see free alternatives to their paid services. The most popular third-party tethering app, WiFi Tether for Root Users, has mysteriously re-appeared in the Google Play Store – you can download …
What’s the use of having a waterproof tablet if you can’t get a little dirty… figuratively speaking, anyway. That seems to be the inspiration behind RootzWiki members attn1 and roman220, who gave the gift of root to AT&T’s Pantech Element tablet just today and immediately installed ClockworkMod recovery to, as it were, boot. The process is fairly simple …
The Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G has been lighting up T-Mobile’s airwaves for about three weeks now, during which its owners were sadly bereft of rooting and ROM flashing options. But as usual, the community comes through: XDA user k0nane gifted Blaze owners with root early this morning, and it was hardly any time at …
