Quote:With Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, Google added support for x86 processors in Android. Now, the first public build of Ice Cream Sandwich for x86 devices has been released for the public to try!

One of the key new changes in Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is that it supports x86 based processors right out of the box. This is quite important for Intel, since its Medfield based SoC for phones, is ultimately an x86 based processor.

There was still some work left on the x86 scenario when Ice Cream Sandwich was announced. Well, now the Android-x86 team has released the first public build of Ice Cream Sandwich for x86 powered This means that developers and advanced users can now run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on their PCs/Tablets or Laptops without the need for an emulator.

Below are the key features of Android 4.0.3 based for x86 devices -:
Kernel 3.0.8 with KMS enabled. Most tablets/netbooks can run Android-x86 in the native resolution.
OpenGL hardware acceleration for AMD Radeon and Intel chipsets. However, if you have trouble with it, you can disable it by adding HWACCEL=0 to the cmdline.
Support Wifi, multitouch and audio.
Experimental support of Renderscript.
Hybrid mode of iso images.
A new text based GUI installer which supports ext3/ext2/ntfs/fat32 filesystems.
External usb drive and sdcard are auto mounted on plugging.
Compressed filesystem (squashfs)
There are still a few issues with this build, like the camera does not work, no support for Ethernet and the Suspend/Resume feature might not work on some devices.

Readers who are interested in trying out Ice Cream Sandwich on their x86 PCs can download the required ISO file from here. Advanced users and developers can find more info about Ice Cream Sandwich for x86 devices here.

a few months ago i spoofed a hitachi for a friend who had a dead benq. he called me the other day saying it was giving him an error about failing to apply an update. so i tried it again for him and even tried via usb but it still wont work. i looked up the code and the xbox site says to call customer service. i know they wont be any help. could this be because of the spoof?

HTC announced that it will becoming fully GPL compliant for 2012 meaning that all HTC phones released in the future will also have their source code released at the same time. Other manufacturers are expected to follow with Googles backing.

Quote:Today, Peter Chou makes good on his word to no longer lock the bootloaders on HTC Android phones. Just in time for those New Year’s Resolutions.

XDA Junior Member nightwings noticed, when trying out HTCDev’s bootloader unlocking tool on his HTC Rezound, his bootloader was successfully unlocked. Similar reports came in on the HTC Vivid forum, even though neither were named on HTCDev.com’s list of supported devices.

And it’s bigger than just the HTC Rezound and Vivid. I just tried out the tool on the HTC Rhyme. I asked RussellHolly to try it on his HTC Thunderbolt. We now both have unlocked bootloaders. With the backing of an unnamed source at HTC, I feel comfortable going out on a limb to say at least every device released after HTCDev launched is now supported by their bootloader unlocking tool. Scratch that, HTCDev just posted this:

All HTC Android devices launched after September 2011 are unlockable. The website will be updated accordingly to reflect this in the coming weeks. We continue to work on models launched prior to September 2011, please check back often for the status of older devices.

For now, head over to HTCDev to unlock your device. If you find that your device doesn’t unlock, let us know so we can get a clear picture of how far the unlocking goes.

Congratulations to all persistent consumers who knew what they wanted. And congratulations to HTC and HTCDev for making it happen. We know it wasn’t easy.

Can I update Xbox360 games if the console isn't connected to the internet?
Could I download the updates elsewhere and burn them to CD, to then install them on my Xbox360? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

x360key x360 key xk3y

- "Mini. Micro JST ZH 1.5mm 6-Pin plug" (J2 Connector) on Nand x device. Buy Here
- "LHE PHD 2.0mm 12-pin plug" (Small White Connector) on CK3 device. Buy Here

then you can make your own ck3 to nand x update cable

HERE is how to update & Pinout for cable save you looking; UPDATING NAND X

NOTHING IS SET IN STONE YET, THERE STILL COULD BE COMPLICATIONS.

This method allows you to find the per_console_key_1, and per_console_key_n

per_console_key_0 is what is really needed (That is what will allow new CFW etc)

More details can be found at PS3DevWiki

Just good news after good news for the PS3 scene recently, as the folks over at PS3DevWiki have documented and released on how to dump the PS3 per console keys! For the newb what this does is basically replace the current function JB2 aka TrueBlue! In short once the keys for per_console_key_0 are found, it will basically fully unlocks the PS3 and grant as CFW access on basically ALL firmwares! This is great news for everyone in the PS3 scene and is only a matter of time before we have the keys!

Quote:Explanation of the root key:

EID crypto is very complicated, it is done so on purpose first of all EID0 isn’t decrypted with one key and one
algorithm alone it is decrypted in several parts which use different algos and keys the keys are all derivations
of a per console key (per_console_key_1)which is stored inside metldr and copied by it to sector 0 and never
leaves isolation that same key is a derivation of the per console key (per_console_key_0) used to encrypt metldr
and the bl in the first place as well

isoldr clears that key from sector 0 before jumping to the isolated module but before doing so it encrypts it
with another keyset and stores it in a buffer so that the isolated module can use the new crafted key since the
operation is AES if you know that keyset you can decrypt the crafted key and get the eid root key without pwning
a loader or metldr through an isolated module that is not like you really need it because you can already use the
crafted key to decrypt some of eid0 but not all of it and the crafted key also uses the first elf section to be
built as in your isolated module will have a small section which only contains a key and that key is used as another
layer by isoldr to encrypt the buffer with it so basically you have 2 encryption layer over the root key the final
key then decrypts a specific part of the EID

eid crypto is actually done smart that is because most of it originally comes from the cell bootrom as in they
reuse the same algo used for metldr binaries and bl in the eid crypto including some of the keys and the steps
and you cannot decrypt all of the eid sections unless you gathered every single keys and steps and there are a
lot then you still have to figure out wtf it is you decrypted because eid is actually full of keys.

Description:
Official release of the iXtreme LT+ full firmware pack with 0800 v3 ('PC ripping FW') for 'BenQ' and 'Fat LiteOn'. New in this rel: LT v2.01 for Samsung.

you know where to get it

The “iXtreme Burner MAX” customized PC DVD burner fw allows for burning 100% of an XGD3 ISO to regular DVD+R DL discs. Preferred media for error-free burns are Verbatim MKM001 (burning at 2.4x), and Verbatim MKM003 (burning at 2.4x or 4x). Note: “A” versions have MTK chipset, but are old and untested. “Y” versions have the NEC chipset, which is not supported. All regular features of the burner function as normal, including LightScribe, LabelTag, Smart-Erase, Smart-Burn, Smart-X, and SuperAllWrite. Even with the custom iXtreme Burner MAX fw flashed to the drive, it is still fully functional as a regular burner, not only for XGD3, but also XGD2, and all other ISOs and data.
