Barnes & Noble Nook HD+ tenatively rooted for the paper UI-phobic (video)

Barnes & Noble Nook HD tenatively rooted for the paperphobic video

There’s no doubt that Barnes & Noble in love with the paper-like interface of the Nook HD +. Not all of its new owners are rather so taken with the retro chic, with the proof being XDA-Developers member verygreen’s early root for the Android tablet (and perhaps its HD relative). The initial code is enough to offer a look of a more digital interface as well as teasers of a CyanogenMod harbor and booting from SD cards. Prior to racing to use the directions at the source, be conscious that the root’s effectiveness might differ wildly in the near future– as of this writing, a familiar defense mechanism dating back to the Nook Color has actually kicked in that declines the root and restores itself to factory stock after eight failed boot attempts. That there’s a root at all will certainly nonetheless be a comfort in the long run to those who such as the concept of a budget tablet without the imposed nostalgia for dead trees.

Galaxy Note 10.1 just hitting shelves, already said to be rooted

DNP Galaxy Note 101 said to already be rooted, not many around for corroboration

Only two days after Samsung revealed the availability of the Galaxy Note 10.1 (and its source code), it appears to already have actually been rooted. An XDA user named Zedomax claims to have actually pulled off the task by injecting root into the stock European firmware, then putting on the superuser would certainly model in conventional ODIN fashion. With the typical bricking caveats, that’ll let you begin putting on unsanctioned apps to the pen-enabled beast, while evidently still getting OTA updates from the mother business. We would certainly like to validate it ourselves with our very own GT-N8000, however we don’t have one yet– and neither does barely anyone else, so you might wish to anticipate some additional brave soul to verify it before going on.

Verizon Galaxy S III has locked bootloader (but it’s been rooted anyway)

| Author:

DNP Verizon 'forced' Samsung to lock Galaxy S III boot loader

Based on Samsung’s hacker-friendly track record, you ‘d typically expect one of it smartphones to come with an opened bootloader, making it simple to update or modify with unofficial ROMs. That’s not the instance with Verizon’s imminent version of the Galaxy S III, nonetheless. As the folk at XDA know just too well, this specific iteration of Sammy’s flagship comes with a sealed bootloader, which makes it resistant (though not impervious) to hackery.

Of course, Sammy has absolutely nothing to obtain from snubbing the modding community in this way, so it stands to reason that VZW pushed the Korean producer to supply them with a secured bootloader– in spite of the fact that all some other versions have actually been left open. We’ve reached out to Big Red for opinion, however in the meantime an ingenious soul over at Rootzwiki claims they have actually already discovered a workaround for root access. (At this point, however, we might better offer our standard disclaimer: be really cautious prior to you poke around in there, since going up against a secured bootloader can be dangerous. The evident protection of modern-day life is simply a shallow skin atop an ocean of blood, guts and bricked tools.)

AT&T’s HTC One X gets rooted, catches up with the global gang

AT&T's HTC One X gets rooted, catches up with the global gang

No sooner did the international variant of the One X reveal its source code, now the AT&T version has landed itself an unofficial root. Better still, the folks over at xda-developers have already squeezed the occasionally laborious process into a one-click install. For those not in the know, this doesn’t mean an unlocked bootloader, which is still wrapped up in AT&T red tape. Root meddling types can hit up the source for the necessary files. Just, be careful — that’s some pricey polycarbonate and the Galaxy S III‘s still some weeks away.

HTC One X gets rooted before retail debut

| Author:

You didn’t think the modders that form the very underpinnings of Android’s base would let a little unicorn like the One X slide by unscathed, did ya? That polycarbonate überphone hasn’t even made it out of the official launch gate and yet, thanks to MoDaCo, it’s already been rooted. Sidestepping the usual dense how-to’s typically associated with achieving root on non-Nexus devices, our eager beaver hacker’s compiled Superboot: a one-step, no fuss boot image that automates the process for you sans the need for adb commands. The hack is said to work with retail versions of the handset and should play friendly with Mac, Windows and Linux operating systems, though it will require S-OFF or an unlocked bootloader courtesy of HTCdev. So if you were tantalized by the possibilities of this quad-core phone, but not quite convinced you could handle another skinned UX, this might help to ease your quandary.
