		<title>BreakDroid: Auto Root and ADB Installer for Mac</title>
		<link>http://rootzwiki.com/news/_/articles/rooting/breakdroid-auto-root-and-adb-installer-for-mac-r526</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Everyone loves a good auto-root tool, but the pickings for Mac tools are rather slim, with the majority of them (unsurprisingly) being developed for Windows or Linux. BreakDroid is a new Mac utility from Northmendo  which uses previously established root methods to automatically root several devices, and also install the Android SDK, and configure ADB on your machine. While it's still a work in progress, the developer has noted that it is proven to work on at least 4 devices: Kindle Fire Droid Razr (and should work on all Motorola Droid devices) Galaxy Nexus Galaxy Note As the project grows, however, he will add as many devices as he can to the list. One of the exploits used is zergRush, though, so the following devices should also be compatible, though they have not been tested. Sony Xperia Arc (.42 f irmware)  Sony Xperia Arc S  Sony Xperia Play [R800i/R800x]  Sony Xperia Ray  Sony Xperia Neo  Sony Xperia Mini  Sony Xperia Mini Pro  Sony Xperia Pro  Sony Xperia Active  Samsung...]]></description>

		<title>HTC One X Rooted Ahead of Launch</title>
		<link>http://rootzwiki.com/news/_/articles/rooting/htc-one-x-rooted-ahead-of-launch-r515</link>
		<description><![CDATA[The rooting community never ceases to astonish us. It usually doesn't take but a blink of the eye for a developer to achieve root access on a device, once the device is launched. It is a little rarer however for a device to be rooted before it's even out for mass consumption. Famous rom developer Paul &#34;MoDaCo&#34; O'Brien has done just that with the latest flagship device from HTC.The One X is the highly anticipated upcoming phone from HTC, and this bad-boy boasts some serious specs. While this first-to-appear root method isn't exactly the RootzWiki way (learn basic ADB people), MoDaCo has used superboot to achieve superuser access on the device. Superboot is a type of automated script file. So while it is much more reliable than your standard &#34;one-click&#34;, just remember it is automated, meaning the process is ultimately out of the user's hands once started. This method  is quite simple however. Connect the One X to your computer of choice and enter bo...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you're the owner of a Sony Google TV, model number NSZ-GT1 or any of the current built-in models, and you've been waiting around for a way to root your GTV with a software-only solution, then today is your day. The GTV Hacker blog  has devised a method by which you can gain root, no hardware hacking or soldering required.GTV in its most current form is far more capable a service than when it first launched back in 2010. Honeycomb has arrived, the Android Market is live, but there are still some limitations on the device. Most notably, the content blackout restrictions from some providers (like Hulu) are a constant aggravation for GTV owners. Now, though, your rooted GTV can get around those restrictions with the ability to run unsigned kernels, which remove content restrictions, as well as some other benefits listed below.Modified flash plugin with random per box flash string for Content Provider Bypass.Crippled update feature to prevent box from receiving automatic updat...]]></description>

		<link>http://rootzwiki.com/news/_/articles/rooting/developers-using-mempodroid-to-obtain-root-r403</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Developers looking for exploits to gain root access on devices running Linux kernel 2.6.39 or above should take a look at a posting on github by the well-known Jay Freeman, a.k.a.

		<description><![CDATA[The phone upgrade cycle moves at blazing speeds. Inevitably, some devices will either get left behind in the by rapid updates to the software, or simply be made obsolete by new tech. In our new series we'll be taking a look at all the ways to extend the life of older Android smartphones that are starting to near their end of life, as well as decide whether it's worth the extra effort, or if it's time to kick that old clunker to the curb. This week's Root It or Boot It test subject: the Droid X.The Droid X  was one of the most iconic devices of the 2010, developing a large following and an active developer community. The locked bootloader did send many potential developers packing due to the inability to elicit any real functional change through kernel mods, but CVPCS’ 2nd-init hack gave the phone a new lease on life and brought many new opportunities for the ROM community.
