The Sony Xperia Sola can now be rooted thanks to DoomLoRD. The rooted kernel easily be installed on a device in which Bootloader is unlocked. The Xperia Sola once rooted can be installed with custom ROMs. The ROMs on the Xperia Sola are still only Android Gingerbread 2.3.7 supported so its not much of a difference but we can expect a few ICS ROMs to be released by developers soon. The Sola like other devices of the recently launched Sony Android Smart-phones comes with floating touch and other features such as having the Bravia Engine. Anyway without further talk about the phone let us get to the rooting of the Xperia Sola.




As per DoomLoRD the features of the rooted kernel are given below.

• [v01 onwards] added support for init.d scripts (/system/etc/init.d)
• [v01 onwards] added support for userinit scripts:

• [v01 onwards] autorooting (prerooted)
  • su binary & superuser.apk will automatically be installed by kernel 
  • busybox (1.18.4) gets installed at /system/xbin/
• [v01 onwards] insecure ramdisk
  • ramdisk is insecure (ro.secure=0)
  • adb server is persistent

  • rootfs and /system mounted as rw

Before we can root the Sola we need to first unlock its Bootloader. This is a bit of a long process and needs to be followed precisely.

Unlocking the Sony Xperia Sola is the lengthy process compared to rooting the phone. Anyway to begin first find out your IMEI No. If you do not know already then just dial  *#06#. After you note this down you need to check if your phone can be unlocked. For this dial#*#7378423#*# and then go to Service Info, Configuration and then Rooting Status. If its says Yes then you can continue with the tutorial.

It is recommended to update drivers on your Xperia Sola so download this file. Plug in your Phone and then hold Power Down and Volume Up Key together to enter into FastBoot mode.

From the extracted downloads of Step 2 open the Fast Boot Folder. Hold Shift Key and right click to get Shortcut Menu with Open Command Prompt Here Option. Click it. Now that you have Command Prompt Open plug in yur phone in FastBoot mode just as in step 2 then in Command Prompt type  fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version . After wait and see if 0.5 is returned. If it is it means that your phone is properly connected after that type in  fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY replaceing KEY with the nique Key you got for Unlocking.

This tutorial explains How to Root the Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300.Yesterday Chainfire said that he had successfully rooted the Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 remotely but could not release the insecure kernel to the public as it might be traced back to the person who leaked it. But now the insecure kernel is out and so here is how you can root the Samsung Galaxy S3. This rooting process is done on the XXALE8 firmware and the firmware can be installed on other phones also. The rooting process is not complicated or in any way much different from rooting other phones so I guess Samsung is still happy with allowing its users to have lot of access to the firmware.
To root the Galaxy S3 I9300 just follow the below instructions.

• First download the necessary files for the process such as the insecure kernel, ODIN and also the .bat file for installing SuperSU from the below links.
  Insecure Kernel
  ODIN
  SuperSU Setup
• Extract the ODIN downloaded and run it. Switch off the Galaxy S3 and then enter into Download Mode by pressing the Power Volume Down and Home Buttons. Now plug it into your PC.
• Now click on PDA and select the .tar file available in the Insecure Kernel zip. Now click OK once a section of ODIN turns Yellow.
• Now once the process is complete unplug your phone and then go to Settings then Applications then Development then Enable USB Debugging. Now plug the phone back to the PC in Download Mode again and run the .bat file in SuperSU Setup download zip to finish the rooting process and gain Root Access. Now your phone should just reboot and that it.

The HTC Explorer is low to mid range phone made to be small, sleek and perform. It has the usual specifications such as Android OS 2.3(Ginger Bread). It is kind of disappointing that it only has a 600 MHz processor considering that cheaper phones such as the Samsung Galaxy Y has a 823 MHz processor for about 60% of the price. Then again the HTC Explorer does have a 3.2 Mega Pixel camera and a better screen in terms of both size (3.2 inches) and resolution (320 x 480 px). It has a capacitive touch screen and a resilient battery while on 2G and 3G networks. It is very simple to Root HTC explorer and can be done within a few steps.
