		<title>S-Off teased for 2.x.x Droid DNA, HTC One</title>
		<link>http://rootzwiki.com/news/_/articles/kernels/s-off-teased-for-2xx-droid-dna-htc-one-r1777</link>
		<description><![CDATA[As Droid DNA owners in the rooted community are well aware, Verizon updated the phone's firmware to version 2.0.4 over two months ago, blocking the bootloader unlock and S-Off that had been achieved with the initial firmware. Anyone  who later bought the phone with version 2.0.4 out of the box had no way to unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery or a custom ROM - they were stuck on stock until the new firmware could be hacked. On Wednesday, XDA Recognized Developer and RootzWiki member beaups teased  that S-Off (thus bootloader unlock) has been achieved and the new method is &#34;coming soon.&#34;Dubbed Moonshine S-Off, this new method is the successor to the Facepalm S-Off  method released in February, and is touted by beaups as working on any of the 2.x.x firmware updates Verizon has released up to this day. I happen to know a number of users (and some developers) who bought the DNA with the 2.0.4 firmware already installed, and some of them sold their DNAs and moved o...]]></description>

		<link>http://rootzwiki.com/news/_/articles/kernels/att-locks-down-its-galaxy-s-iv-bootloader-r1606</link>
		<description><![CDATA[If you needed any more proof that AT&#38;T and Verizon are a functional duopoly (you know, beyond yesterday's news that  they control 65% of the mobile market in the U.S. ), the &#34;rethink possible&#34; network's latest move gives it to you. According to  djrbliss  and confirmed by Steve Kondik (aka Cyanogen), AT&#38;T is following Verizon's lead and  has locked down the bootloader for its variant of the Galaxy S IV . Verizon was the only U.S. carrier to lock down the Galaxy S III last year, and we expect it to lock down its successor this year. The most chilling aspect of this news is that Kondik said he would not recommend that you buy this phone on AT&#38;T if you want to run CyanogenMod or any other custom ROM on it.Dan Rosenberg (djrbliss) is the same one who unlocked the bootloaders for Motorola's latest batch of RAZR phones, the Atrix HD, and who rooted the Galaxy S IV. He said that the bootloader is almost identical to the open-source LK bootloader but with...]]></description>

		<title>Kernel Source Already Released for Galaxy S4</title>
		<link>http://rootzwiki.com/news/_/articles/kernels/kernel-source-already-released-for-galaxy-s4-r1588</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Samsung seems to be rather punctual so far with its GPL compliance, having already released kernel source for some variants of its Galaxy S IV before the masses even have the device in hand. Samsung published the kernel source Friday morning on its Open Source Release Center.The links directly to each variant published so far can be found below:GT-I9500  (international, carrier unlocked)GT-I9505  (international, carrier unlocked)SGH-I337M  (Virgin Mobile Canada)The 9500 device will be powered by the Exynos Octa processor and the 9505 will run Qualcomm's Snapdragon 600 chipset. The kernel release benefits ROM and kernel makers, allowing them to better create aftermarket firmware. The caveat is that these releases are only for these international unlocked versions and for some Canadian editions of the smartphone (SGH-I337M).Kernel source releases for U.S. variants (like the I9505, they will be powered by the Snapdragon 600) will surely follow down the road. However, the releases c...]]></description>

		<title><![CDATA[Motorola's vaunted bootloaders have been unlocked  for the RAZR HD, RAZR M, and Atrix HD]]></title>
		<link>http://rootzwiki.com/news/_/articles/kernels/motorolas-vaunted-bootloaders-have-been-unlocked-for-the-razr-hd-razr-m-and-atrix-hd-r1556</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday we reported  that a developer known on Twitter as @djrbliss  had achieved the previously unthinkable in picking the vaunted Motorola bootloader locks for the RAZR HD, the RAZR M, and the Atrix HD. Today the exploit has been released  for your unlocking pleasure. There are obviously some cautionary notes that go along with every bootloader unlock released, and this one is certainly no different.You may have understandably been skeptical even after reading yesterday's report, especially since Motorola's locked bootloaders have defied the best efforts of the development community for years (even now older Motorola devices powered by TI OMAP processors are still locked down tight). Nevertheless, I think it's safe to say that once the exploit is released for public use, it's real this time.A prerequisite to keep in mind: you must be rooted, which means if you installed that latest Android 4.1.2 update from Verizon for your RAZR HD, you'll have to wait. In or...]]></description>

		<title><![CDATA[Development community finally breaks Motorola's locked bootloaders?]]></title>
		<link>http://rootzwiki.com/news/_/articles/kernels/development-community-finally-breaks-motorolas-locked-bootloaders-r1554</link>
		<description><![CDATA[For years, many Android users who like to root their phones have shied away from buying Motorola phones because their locked bootloaders have defied the development community's most valiant attempts to unlock. Of course, people still have managed to find ways to run custom ROMs on Motorola phones, but they have never been able to install custom kernels (except where Motorola provides official bootloader unlocks). People who claimed to have found a way to unlock Motorola's bootloaders have almost always been greeted with skepticism or even ridicule. Today, however, a developer with a proven track record for credibility claims to have done the previously unthinkable and posted screenshots to prove it: in his own words, the &#34;World's FirstMotorola Exploited Bootloader.&#34;Dan Rosenberg (known on Twitter as @djrbliss ) has finally managed to unlock Motorola's bootloaders for devices such as the Atrix HD, the RAZR HD and the RAZR M, according to a thread on droidrzr.c...]]></description>

		<title>Kernel Devs: Force A/C Charging Through Any Source</title>
		<link>http://rootzwiki.com/news/_/articles/kernels/kernel-devs-force-ac-charging-through-any-source-r500</link>
		<description><![CDATA[We all can lament on how horrible it is charging something over USB with Android. Seriously, that stuff takes all day. Well now, thanks to the rather well known Chad  (of AnthraX kernel fame), a method has been developed for A/C charging on any input device; be it USB, car charger, or lightning-powered-taco.Granted, this is of no use to you if you're not a kernel developer. But if you are, then you can add this patch into your kernel build to allow A/C charging over anything. You'll still be limited to the actual output of your charging device, but at least now your phone won't be the bottleneck. "But how do I get this magical patch," is what you're most likely shouting right now. Well, calm down, because you can find it on this very site. In fact, you can find it right here . If you're just a regular old rooter and end user, make sure to let your favorite kernel dev know about this so they can add it in! Hop to it!]]></description>

		<title>Compiling Your Own Kernel From Source</title>
		<link>http://rootzwiki.com/news/_/articles/kernels/compiling-your-own-kernel-from-source-r175</link>
		<description><![CDATA[The Linux kernel.  It's the heart and soul of Android and can be a little intimidating for those new to the Development scene.  For those of you that are unfamiliar, the kernel is basically a bridge between applications and the actual data processing done at the hardware level. It also manages the system's resources and provides the lowest-level abstraction layer for the resources that software must control to perform its function.  Compiling a kernel from source has been something that most aspiring developers seem to avoid.  This no longer has to be the case, because RootzWiki member Adrynalyne  has written a guide to help all those interested in getting their feet wet.  Adrynalyne  has done a pretty good job with breaking the process down into 5 steps.  First off, you're going to need to be running GNU/Linux.  The guide is assuming that you'll be using Ubuntu, 11.10 to be exact.  After that, you'll be ready to build your environment, grab a toolchain and choos...]]></description>

		<title>SGS i9000 UnBrickable Mod Now Available</title>
		<link>http://rootzwiki.com/news/_/articles/kernels/sgs-i9000-unbrickable-mod-now-available-r98</link>
		<description>Are you the owner of a Samsung Galaxy S i9000 ?    Worried about bricking it? (Perhaps when putting the new Samsung Galaxy S Ice Cream Sandwich Port  on it)   RootzWiki Member AdamOutler , The mastermind behind the Unbrickable Mod  for the Captivate  has a solution for you. For those unfamiliar with the modification, the SGS i9000 UnBrickable Mod is a great way to prevent or  even fix a bricked  i9000! When the mod is finished the phone will boot in reverse order and allow USB booting much earlier in the startup sequence which allows you to use new software to recover your phone.  The process is not necessarily for the feint of heart but if your a RootzWiki reader we already know your made of strong stuff. By re-soldering the xOM5 resistor or adding in a bridging wire and then using the Team HummingMod Unbrickable software on Windows and Ubuntu you can resuscitate your hardware from it’s comatose state.  As AdamOutler describes it the mod has a few advantages over a JTAG: If you...</description>
