Update Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 to Android 2.3.6 Build XXLA6

Update Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 to Android 2.3.6 Build XXLA6

While everyone might be going nuts over Ice Cream Sandwich, there’s nothing quite as comforting for Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 users like Gingerbread. Users can get their new dose of Gingerbread from the new official Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread firmware build XXLA6. Though the firmware hasn’t been officially launched yet internationally, Android users in Europe have reported the firmware update to be stable. The said update reportedly carries fixes for some camera issues and some issues with S Note.
Applying this update is fast and easy. Even the most novice of Android users can do it.  Applying this update will not root your device in any manner, thus it will not revoke your warranty.
If you have already rooted their Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 though, the update will cause you to lose your root access and your warranty will be restored.

Requirements

If you’re getting excited to apply this update, you’ll need to quell your excitement because you’ll need a few things before you can proceed to the update process:

• Make sure to create a backup of the data on your Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000. Applying this update may corrupt or erase important information.
• Make sure that your Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000′s battery is fully charged. This will prevent the device from shutting off in the middle of the update process.
• Check if USB Debugging has been enabled on your Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000. You can do this through “Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging.”
• Make sure that all the appropriate Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 drivers have been updated and installed on your computer. This is very important.
• Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread firmware XXLA6. (The package also includes Odin3 v1.81.)

4. On your computer, double click and launch Odin3. It’s inside the folder where you extracted the ZIP package to.

6. Once the device is in Download Mode, connect your Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 to your computer.

   • If the ID:COM section does not light up, disconnect the phone and go through “Settings > Wireless and Networks > USB Settings > Samsung KIES option”. Try connecting the phone again to your computer.
8. Click on the PDA button in Odin3.  In the browse dialog, select the “N7000XXLA6_N7000OXXLA1_N7000XXLA4_HOME.tar.md5″ file.

How to Root and Unroot LG Optimus S LS670

How to Root and Unroot LG Optimus S LS670

The LG Optimus S is a good smartphone. The device could be considered one of those entry-level Android smartphones. It has been out for quite some time now and it has already received a lot of praise from Internet reviews and first-hand users. They claim that the Optimus S is the best smartphone in its category.

What makes this Android gadget stand out is the fact that it has a sturdy build, its 600 MHz processor is able to handle Android 2.2 very well, and it’s the cheapest among the first Sprint ID smartphones.
Since it is a Sprint ID smartphone, the LG Optimus S contains all the Sprint ID bloatware. Most of the time, the software is not really useful and many of you wish that network providers like Sprint didn’t preload such apps into their phones. But, since that is not how it works in the real world, then we just have to find some ways to remove the bloatware ourselves.
Rooting an Android device is typically the first step in removing bloatware. This process will give users more control over the device. So, if you are planning to root your LG Optimus S to get rid of Sprint ID bloatware, continue reading to know how.

Requirements

• Download and install the .net Framework. Part of this utility software is needed by the rooting application. Get the .net Framework here.
• The rooting application will also need the Visual C++ 2008 Redistribute Package. You can get this here.
• This process will need a Windows PC which runs either Windows Vista or Windows 7.
• It is also best to have a fully charged battery before you perform this process.

Instructions

1. Download the rooting application from here.
2. Unzip the downloaded file to have access to the main rooting application.
3. Download and install the USB driver for the device from here. If you have successfully connected the device to your PC before, you don’t need to do this.
4. Enable USB debugging in the Optimus S. To do this, just follow this path Settings > Applications > Development and check the box for USB Debugging.
5. Connect the device to your PC via USB cable.
6. Open the notifications window on the device and make sure “USB debugging connected” is listed under “Ongoing”.
7. Go to the folder where you unzipped the rooting files. Right click on “Gingersnap.exe” and then choose “Run as administrator”.
8. Click on the Root button to complete the rooting process. And, if you just came back here to Unroot the Optimus S, then feel free to click the Unroot button.

You can now remove the bloatware on your Optimus S to free up some space and get rid of unwanted stuff. Doing this one, though, is a totally different topic. But, then again, you’re already one step closer since the device is already rooted. And, not just that–you can now do more things with your Optimus S like probably installing CyanogenMod.

How to Root and add CWM to your Motorola Droid Bionic

As the practice of rooting Android phones becomes more prevalent, so does the number of rooting tools become more widely available in order to root your Motorola DROID Bionic. One of those sought-after tools is Pete’s Motorola Root Tool.
