How to root your android???

           Rooting is just the same as jail breaking iOS. Basically it means giving you the super user privileges. Once your android is rooted you can run apps that require lower level systems permission  and changes of your os.  
Caution
“ROOTING IS NOT ILLEGAL, BUT CERTAINLY VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY “
1.       Check which version of android your running.
2.       If you are unlucky and running v2.1 aka Éclair. I’m sorry I’ve dealt with v2.2 or above only.
3.       For v2.1 you’ll have to downgrade to v2.0.1 and follow a series of steps manually.
4.       Or one could try simple one click root tools like z4root etc.
5.       Problems faced are all phones are not supported by one click tools. So before rooting Google “Phone Model + version + root “.
6.       For people using v2.2, z4root works fine for software version v10a , v10b.
7.       I couldn’t root my optimus one v10c using z4root.
8.       Universally gingerbreak apk works fine for all software versions.


So once you have chosen your one click tool. Follow these steps to root.
1)      Copy the downloaded apk to your sd card.
2)      Use any file manager to navigate to the location of the downloaded apk file.
3)      In case of z4root make sure it is placed in sdcard:\downloads folder only.
4)      Install your apk. Make sure your antivirus is disabled as it can potentially raise bugs while installing.
5)      Once installed , open the app and you’ll find options
1.       If z4root:  You’ll have options to do a temporary root and permanent root
i.         Temporary root stays until next reboot.
ii.       Permanent root stays until unrooted or new original firmware flash.

2.       If Gingerbreak: You’ll have options of root device and unroot device.
6)      Just click the appropriate choice and let the system do the job. Max 5 min you’ll have a rooted device in your hand.
7)       If any problems faced , leave your comments.

RIP Dennis Ritchie:

GOD seems to have lost it. Completely. 2011 has seen a so many talented/gifted people die. And in the past week it’s been on a high. Today morning unusually twitter was abuzz with the unconfirmed news of Dennis Ritchie s demise a week ago. I was shocked to read that. Later I found that it was confirmed. He was 70. For all who don’t know who Dennis MacAlistair Ritchie is, you might want to wiki his name and read about his achievements. He was an American computer scientist notable for developing C and for having influence on other programming languages, as well as operating systems such as Multics and UNIX.  Dennis Ritchie September 9, 1941 — October 12, 2011              I heard his name for the first time probably 6yrs ago when I first attended my computer science class during my schooling days. And I still remember his name. The reason being because I was told, he is the man responsible for the C programming language a...

Inside Steve Jobs : A Technical Introspect by A Cynic

Image
          As a student of engineering, what is more important for me is the way a system works under the hood and not the outer glitz and glamor. Recently Steve Jobs passed away and the world mourned him. The newspapers read “ An era of technology came to an end on October 5 th when Apple Inc founder (read co-founder) and former CEO passed away “.   Further he is credited for all Apple products post his return to the company. All through if you notice the actual men behind Steve Jobs were never acknowledged. Neither has Steve himself ever said it.           And what I found while reading his wiki page is that he is referred as co-founder, a business magnate and an inventor. The inventor part irked me. Call him an innovator.  No qualms, but an inventor??         Many think that Steve Jobs is the talisman behind the iPod, iPhone, iPad… No isn’t. He wasn’t tec...

The Feeling of Falling In Love:

This blog deals with only my interpretations of falling in love. It happens in every other guy's life I guess. Those days when a group of guys talk about her and all you can do is to imagine. It happened to me also. I had never seen her face to face but had heard enough of her but I was never impressed. So it happened in the internal's time. The time when people are busy studying and I was busy wasting my time. So me and my friends where studying. I dint even know she existed in that very class, no I wasn't busy studying, I was listening to mp3 so I dint concentrate on my surroundings. And all of sudden my friend introduces me to her. WOW I saw her for the first time; I just couldn't take my eyes of her. My heart skipped beats; it was racing around .She mesmerized me. The very moment I saw her I decided I needed her in my life. I was with her for the next 5 minutes. She was jam packed with features, with every feature she blew my mind off. She was very delicate, at t...
