ANDROID ROOTING

What is Rooting Android ?

Android is based on Linux, where the “root” user is equivalent to the Administrator user in Windows. The term “rooting” means gaining root access to your smartphone or tablet and being able to run applications with that root permissions – full system access, in other words.

How to root the phone?
There are many apps that are used for the rooting. Such as
Kingo root
King root

When you root your phone, it means you're breaking out of Android’s security model.

Android uses Linux’s security model in a different way. Every Android app runs with its own user ID, or UID. In other words, every app runs as its own user account. This means that every app has its own data isolated from every other app. If you install your bank’s app, its data will be stored so that it’s only accessible by the bank’s app – other apps on your device can’t snoop on it.

On a standard Android configuration, no app can access any other app’s data, no matter how many permissions the app asks for.

This all changes when you run an application as root. The application is no longer running in a sandboxed area – it has access to the entire system. An app with root permissions can read other apps’ data.

In a nutshell, when you root your phone, you will be able to do the impossible with it cause you and the apps will gain system wide admin access BUT, by doing so, your will be more prone to malware, viruses and everything. Besides, the service center will consider your warranty void once it is rooted.

HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT DISC READ ERROR AT WINDOWS STARTUP {8 solutions}

              

                               A disk read error occurred. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart.

If u try disk check up and  detected the hard drive just fine. After an exhaustive search around the Internet and forums, no one had the exact fix for this problem and there doesn’t seem to be one fix to try in preference to any others...'

Here below are some of the possible solutions to the problem “A disk read error occurred. Press ctrl+alt+delete to restart” problem.

1. TEST MEMORY'

This isn’t actually mentioned that much around the web as a solution to the disk read error problem, but believe you ca use a tool called Memtest86+  and run tests on you RAM, After experimenting between different sticks and RAM slots.....

   As this is a simple and non destructive test meaning you’re not touching the hard drive risking further damage, it is recommended you try this first. It may sound odd but in fact memory problems can be responsible for a vast array of different errors on a system where testing your RAM might be the last thing you think of.

2.  Try the Drive on Another Machine

As we’ve said, although this problem sounds like a simple hard drive issue, people around the web have reported that they have traced the problem to faulty video cards, modems, motherboards and even power supplies. The easiest way to rule out any of these is to take the hard drive out and connect it up to another machine or connect it to the same machine via external USB. If you can boot it up past the error or can access all your files without a problem, then the issue will likely be related to other hardware in your machine.

Unfortunately in this case it could be down to trial and error in finding the offending piece of hardware by removing or replacing what you can, although the next possible fix is quite easy.

While the drive is connected by another method, it’s recommended to run a scan with something like HD Tune to test for any bad sectors. Whether HD Tune finds any issues or not, you should also run a “chkdsk drivename: /r” from a command prompt while you’re able to or use a portable tool to do it for you.

It’s also wise to make a backup of your files or the whole drive while the drive is accessible.

3.  Check / Replace Cables

Although I haven’t seen SATA cables fail (but obviously they can), faulty IDE cables can sometimes cause issues such as read or write errors on hard drives as well as optical burners. If you have spare cables, you can replace them, or unplug the current cables, inspect for damage, and then reconnect them if OK. Also try different SATA or IDE ports if you can as there is a possibility of a damaged port.

If you get the disk read error after installing a new drive, make sure the hard drive is on the master connector (end of the cable) and if you can, set the hard drive jumper to master instead of cable select. Also try without a secondary (slave) device attached to the same cable if there is one.

====================================================================

4.  Resetting / Updating the BIOS

In rare circumstances setting the BIOS back to defaults can fix the issue. You can usually get to the BIOS by pressing Del or F2 etc during boot. There should be an option to reset to defaults, look for an option similar to the one in the picture below. Failing that, you can remove the BIOS battery for a few minutes to reset. If you’re unable to access CMOS because it is password protected, you can easily reset it from Windows by using CMOS De-Animator.                             

Updating to a newer BIOS has also been reported to work, especially on laptops.

5.  FixMBR and FixBoot

These tools usually don’t work unless you have found there to be errors on the drive after running CheckDisk. Using them will repair what may have been a corrupt Boot sector or Master Boot Record to hopefully allow the system to start.

For XP:

1. Boot with the XP CD and at the setup screen press R to load the Recovery Console.

2. Choose the installation number which is usually 1 and enter the Administrator password.

2a. If you haven’t checked the drive already for errors, type chkdsk /r.

3. At the Command Prompt type FixMBR to repair the Master Boot Record on the hard drive.

4. Type FixBOOT to repair the Boot sector and make sure the boot files required to start the system are present.

5. Type Exit to quit the Recovery Console and reboot.

For Vista and 7:

1. Boot with the Windows Vista or Windows 7 installation disc.

2. Click Repair your computer.

3. Click the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.

4. In the System Recovery Options window, click Command Prompt.

4a. If you haven’t checked the drive already for errors, type chkdsk /r.

5. Type Bootrec /fixmbr to repair the Master Boot Record .

6. Type Bootrec /fixboot to repair the Boot sector.

7. Type Exit and then click restart.

Here are some other tools to restore the Master Boot Record to your system

===================================================================

6.  Defragging the Hard Drive

Although it sounds rather odd could be a long shot, apparently this fix can actually work in certain circumstances and has cured the problem for some users. Either while the drive is connected up to another machine, externally or using a utility boot CD, defrag the drive in question. When finished, try to boot from it.

Read More:https://www.raymond.cc/blog/help-a-disk-read-error-occurred-press-ctrlaltdelete-to-restart/2/

You should only do this IF you have backed up your important data from the drive already or there is nothing you’re worried about losing.

=================================================================

7.   Changing the Partition Size

Similar to the defragging method above in that I believe there might be only a slim chance of success, but the aim here is to simply to rewrite the partition table for the C drive which may have become corrupted. This is achieved by altering the size of your Windows partition by a small amount so new partition data is written onto the drive overwriting any possibly corrupt data. It only needs to be by a few Megabytes, just enough for the change to register and and the partition table is changed to reflect this.

This is probably best left for users who know how to use partitioning software as one wrong move could wipe off all your data! Or this is the last try at a fix before a reformat. There are a few tools such as Gparted and Partition Wizard Home on the excellent Hiren’s Boot CD which you can use, or you can download the Partition Wizard Boot CD  from their website. Simply burn either ISO (from another machine), boot it and then slightly change the size of the partition in the software and apply the changes. If it works, you can always change the size back again afterwards.

==============================================================

8.  If all else fails…

If you have confirmed to yourself the hard drive and your other hardware is not faulty and you have no luck with any of the above fixes, there maybe no other option than to wipe off all partitions, then re-partition, format and then re-install Windows.

If you have had any luck with with other fixes you have found, please let us know.

===================================================================

                                                           Kind regards to all

Android Device Rooting

WHAT IS ANDROID ROOTING?
IS IT SAFE TO ROOT ANDROID ?
What Is Android Rooting ?
    You probably have heard about iPhone jailbreak. Rooting is jail-breaking for Androids which allows users to dive deeper into a phone’s sub-system. It’ll allow you to access the entire operating system and be able to customize just about anything on your Android.
    If you gain root access, you can bypass any restrictions that your manufacturer or carrier may have applied. Moreover, you can run more apps than before, overclock your processor and use a custom Rom.Rooting an Android phone allows Android users to boost their handset’s operating performance, install non-approved applications and otherwise modify their phone to their liking.
 Often inexperienced users are likely to “brick” their phones (make them useless by modifying them incorrectly) if they try the rooting procedure without following proper guidelines. You should root an Android phone carefully, as it normally voids the phone’s warranty.

Why you need root? 
   Most people root their Android device is to rid of the bloatware that’s impossible to uninstall. Some people don’t like handset built-in firmware and their Rom. Their Rom sometimes includes unnecessary apps which you don’t use. Rooting your phone will make your phone much faster as it is free from unnecessary built-in apps. Moreover, you’ll be able to set up wireless tethering option which is disabled by default in your handset. Some other benefits include the ability to install special apps and custom ROM's. Every custom ROM can add extra features and streamline your phone or tablet’s performance. Many people are tempted by the ability to completely customize the look of their phones. There is an option to manually accept or deny app permissions. There are some great apps that won’t work without rooting. For example, some apps allow you to automatically backup all of your apps and all of their data, make secure tunnels to the Internet, totally block advertisements,make your device a wireless hotspot, overclock your processor etc. Rooting also allows you to use cracked apps without any hassle.
Why not go for Root?
    There are several reasons for which you may rethink root process. Rooting an android device has some disadvantage too. First of all, it will void manufacturer’s warranty. Almost all of the manufacturers or carriers use rooting as an excuse to void your warranty. You must know that you can always unroot the device. In the case of you need to send the device back for repair, first, flash the original backup ROM you made and no one will ever know that it was rooted. A certain way to avoid bricking is to follow instructions carefully. Rooting android device may lead to some security risks. Based on what services or apps you use on your device, rooting may form security vulnerability. Gaining full root access to your Android device can be thrilling. You can tinker with settings and customize your device. After rooting, possible benefits for all Android users include improved battery life, no bloatware, root-only apps, overclocking, improved performance, custom ROM's and the facility to upgrade your phone when you want.Rooting isn’t for you If you aren’t excited at the prospect of any of these things,If you finally think it’s a worthy effort to root your phone, follow the instructions carefully. Then back up all your data with software. Now you are ready for root. Install custom Rom and finally restore the data.
This is as simple as that. Watching a video tutorial in YouTube will certainly come in handy. Use software like Kingo root or kingroot for safely rooting.
