Z4root still the BEST android rooting application.

Z4root still the BEST android rooting application.     Android is a unique beast among mobile OSes. Unlike iOS or WebOS, which are made exclusively by one company and only have a few software releases, Android has hundreds of devices and many different software versions. As such, it is extremely difficult to make one rooting program work on all devices. However some programs, like z4root  have managed to get fairly close to the end goal of a universal rooting program, even allow rooting from the comfort of your hand (no computer required).Z4root is still according to the android user THE BEST ROOTING APPLICATION available.You may have to reboot your phone for it to install, So I would reboot the phone before going to the website and just get that out of the way.

I still have my original iPhone in the box and still sealed! I purchased this during launch day on 6/29/07. My intentions was to sell this on ebay, but I never got around to selling it. This is my most favorite collectible I have.

If you’re going to buy this original iPhone 4GB, how much are you willing to pay for it?

Is the Galaxy Nexus still a "Nexus" ?

XDA Developers has discovered that some Galaxy Nexus - the Google's new flagship - don't have the right « yakju » software configuration. The other software configurations - « yakjusc » and « yakjuxw » - are from Samsung.

As stated in the full story Is the Galaxy Nexus Still a “Nexus?”
«
The true, Google-controlled version is yakju—the rest being Samsung-controlled variants, thereof. All carry the hardware code name maguro, so it is plausible that they can be flashed to yakju. However, according to Android software engineer Jean-Baptise Queru, it is unclear at this time whether this is actually possible.

yakjusc and yakjuxw are indeed the two Samsung-prepared builds I’m aware of at the moment, but I’m discovering them as they get released. I only have some visibility over the builds that are prepared by Google, i.e. yakju. Everything else comes from Samsung and I don’t know what their schedules and release plans are. I can’t guarantee that flashing the yakju files that I posted would work on a device that originally shipped with yakjuxw, as I don’t have access to such devices. The hardware is supposed to be close, but I don’t know for sure that it’s close enough. JBQ

The software version is in the /system/build.prop property file in the property ro.product.name which should looks like ro.product.name=yakju . An full copy of a /system/build.prop property file can be found here in post #5.

Here are some ways to check your /system/build.prop property file's software version : easiest way : use a file manager on the device as stated in post #41upload the /system/build.prop file on your desktop computer using adb and look for the property value there as stated in post #27
