Root Porting ClockWorkMod to the Kyocera Rise

if you had a low class of sd card, then yes, they generally recommend getting as high class of sd card as you can, but it's better than no custom Roms and better Rom's can make up the difference with better optimizations and overclocking.
 
I'm actually talking about it over in the hydro forums and I say our first move would be to contact the developers of safe strap and ask them if it could be ported to our devices, see if there's any requirements or limitations.
 
I found this app by some of the people on xda that make a tar file in system to bypass the locked bootloader for some devices was wondering if this is something that can be done for us

Will come back too add picture of some info about the way it works too intrest some of our head adroid programmers here i know ive posted rather useless info basically in theroy & wild hopea but this actually sounds promising
However its not for our device but the info seemd to grab me as a real possiability
Theres a link to the xda site within the google play link ive posted towards bottom with pics

Adding link 2pic cause useing phone not pc too post

That's only helpful if Kyocera does something themselves, the legislature can't get involved because bypassing a cryptographically signed bootloader unlocked without the manufacturers consent would be in direct violation of the DCMA. Such is life in America. :rolleyes::mad:

I'm pretty sure dmca has nothing to do with bootloaders, it's carrier unlocking without consent.

Carrier-Unlocking Smartphones Will Be Illegal In The U.S. Tomorrow: Here's How (And If) It Affects You

Unlocking of Carrier-tied Smartphones to Be Illegal Starting Tomorrow, has Nothing to do With Bootloaders – Droid Life
 
Actually it does, but I thought that they got rid of that exemption, what actually happened was that they let the temporary exemption for the bootloader remain, removed the temporary exemption for carrier unlocking and denied the temporary exemption for unlocking the bootloader on tablets. Talk about consistency, I can root my Nexus 4 phone but not my Nexus 7 tablet. :rolleyes:

If it is now illegal to root and or unlock said devices. What kind of legal action can be taken for doing this? Or even against these websites that talk and give instruction how to do so? Sounds like it's all going down hill.
 
If you read the above post it specifically states that rooting phones is legal under a temporary exemption, sim unlocking to use it on another carrier as well as rooting tablets is an offense under DCMA. IANAL, but doing it yourself probably wouldn't trigger any legal action but those sites that offer to sim unlock your phone or jailbreak your iPad might run into problems.

I think that you'll find that the whole matter of tablets is a bunch of blogosphere hooey, started by one ill-informed Ars Technica writer, repeated ad nauseum. It's why our tablet rooting forums aren't going anywhere. There's no restrictions on it.

As for defeating bootloader cryptography, we do it on HTC phones quite often.

Carrier contracts with anti-rooting clauses have been found unconscionable by competent courts when challenged.

Hope this helps! :)
