Q. I have a samsung galaxy s and i want to root my phone.
A. Download and install the Samsung USB drivers from Samsung's website: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/co...r_v1_4_6_0.exe
Turn on Debugging on your Phone
Open Settings
Select "Developer options" in the System section
Check the box for "USB Debugging"
Press "OK" to confirm.
Plug you phone up to your computer using the USB cable and allow the drivers to install.
Download CMW_SuperUser_v3.07.zip from the bottom of this post
I recommend making yourself a nice little GS3 folder in your downloads folder for all this stuff so it's easy to find
DO NOT UNZIP!!
Copy CMW_SuperUser_v3.07.zip on to the Root of your GS3s INTERNAL storage (if you put it into a folder, you may have a hard time finding it later, but that's on you).
DO NOT UNZIP!!
Unplug your phone
Power off your phone
Now, this is the part that can BRICK your phone so follow ALL instructions CAREFULLY!!
Download Odin3-v3.04 from the bottom of this post
Extract Odin3-v3.04 into it's own folder somewhere where you can easily find it.
Download clockworkmod.tar from the bottom of this post to somewhere you can easily find it.
Reboot your phone into download mode
Hold down Volume Down, Home and then the Power button until the Warning!! message is displayed
Press Volume Up to continue.
Your phone should now be in download mode, displaying a green Android and say Downloading. If it is not, power off your phone by holding down the power button and then try to get into Download mode again. Do NOT progress until you have done so.
Go into the folder you extracted Odin3 into and run Odin3 v3.04.exe (you may have to Right-Clik => Run as Administrator)
Connect your phone to your computer via USB. Drivers may install again; if this happens, allow them to finish before progressing.
In Odin, the COM box all the way to the left should turn blue and it should say Added!! in the Message area.
Click on PDA and in the Open window that pops up navigate to and open the clockworkmod.TAR file you downloaded earlier
Verify that Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked
Click Start. Once the process is completed you device should automatically reboot and there will be a green PASS! box in the upper left of the window. You can then close Odin.
Power off your device and boot into Recovery mode
To boot into Recovery mode: Hold down Volume Up, Home and then the Power button until the device begins to power on then release all 3.
You'll know you're in recover mode when it says "CWM-based Recovery" at the top of the screen
Install CMW_SuperUser_v3.07.zip that you copied onto your internal memory
Navigating ClockWorkMod Recovery: Use the Volume Up and Down rocker to change the highlighted option and the Home button to select an option. The Back softkey works, but will not be lit and will take you back one screen.
Installing a zip:
Select "Install zip from sdcard" (Yes, I know it's on the internal storage.)
Select "Choose zip from sdcard"
Select the zip you want to install; in this case CWM_SuperUser_v3.0.7.zip
Select "Yes" to begin installing
Once the process has completed use the Back arrow to get back to the main recovery screen (Remember: it works, but it's not lit) and select "reboot system now." Once your device boots up you should now be 'Rooted,' but there's still a few more things to be done
Install BusyBox. There are actually several ways to do this, but the BusyBox app in the Google Play Market is quick and easy.
Install BusyBox (this is a link to the online verison of the Google Play store. You can actually follow this link and install it from there and it will get pushed to your phone. Alternatively, just search for BusyBox in the Google Play store and it should be the first app in the search results from author Stephen (Stericson))
Open BusyBox Free from your App Drawer
Allow it Root access when it prompts you
Tap the red "X" to close the dialog window that pops up
Allow BusyBox to scan you phone
Tap "Install" to install BusyBox and make the necessary file changes.
Update your Binaries.
Open the Superuser App from the App Drawer
Get into settings (the wrench icon in the upper right of the screen)
Select Su binary under the General section towards the bottom of the list
Select Update
Your device is now rooted and all set.
What is the number one best tablet to buy?
Q. MOTORLA XOOM
IPAD 2
BLACKBERRY PLAYBOOK
SAMSUNG GALAXY....(NEWSET ONE)
ETC. ****only looking for companies that make cellphones too, no Acer or HP or anything****
please include the prices next to them...there camera megapixel and if they are on the large size or on the small size
A. The best tablet for you will depend on your needs...
You say cellular service is important, so we'll start there:
Verizon:Galaxy Tab 10.1, iPad 2, Xoom, and Galaxy Tab
T-Mobile:G-Slate, Streak 7, and Galaxy Tab
Sprint:PlayBook and Galaxy Tab
AT&T:iPad 2 and Galaxy Tab
If high-end video recording is important to you, consider the LG G-Slate or BlackBerry Playbook, both of which can record at 1080p.
If thickest and weight are important to you, the iPad (0.34 inches) and Galaxy Tab 10.1 (0.336 inches) are the thinnest. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 (1.25 lbs) is the lightest of the big-screen (greater than 9 inch) tablets.
If apps are important to you, the iPad's App Store is probably in the quality and quantity lead, but Android Market is closing the gap. WebOs (HP TouchPad) is considerably further behind those two.
iPad 2 Advantages:
IPads have a higher degree of fit-and-finish than the competition. Like iPhones vs other smart phones, iPods vs other MP3 players, or Macs vs PC's, iPads are widely regarded as being more refined and polished than the competition. iPad also has a large and refined App Store (although Android Market is closing the gap).
iPad 2 Disadvantages:
1. No Flash.
2. No SD expansion; no HDMI port; no USB port.
3. ASUS Eee Transformer has a better display (10.1 inch, 1280x800, IPS vs 9.7 inch, 1024x768, IPS) for less money.
4. PlayBook and G-Slate have better rear camera video recording (1080p vs 720p).
5. PlayBook has much better front camera video recording (1080p vs VGA).
6. Almost all tablets have better camera resolution than iPad's lousy 0.7 MP.
