The well awaited Jailbreak / Mod for hacking the PS3 has finally been made public, and as reported earlier, you can now backup your PS3 games and then run them from the PS3 HDD (HardDisk), without having to put the BluRay disc into the tray. Of course this means its time to invest in a good HDD or so, because you soon will be at a loss for disk space.

Here is how the thing goes down:

Ingredients:

• A PS3, slim or fat, running any firmware 3.4.1 or above



• PS Jailbreak USB Modchip (Available from ChipSpain or OzModChip)
• A USB pen drive, with FAT32 with its “Backup Manager” file available from: Here
• An original BluRay disc of PS3 game which you would love to backup!

Instructions:

1) Power off your console making sure there is no disc in its disc tray.

Note: PS3 SLIM: Remove the Power Chord before plugging in the USB

PS3 FAT: Turn off power switch found at the back of the console

2) Plug the USB jailbreak device and Power ON the console and just as soon (immediately) press the “Eject” button. If done correctly, the console should show two LEDs turned on

Once after that, the USB LED should turn green (see below pic). This will indicate that you are good to go as the PS Jailbreak has been successfully loaded onto the PS3 console.

Note: If the LED turns Red, it just means when the Power and Eject sequence wasn’t performed properly. Try again

3) Wait for the console to boot, once done plug-in the external USB storage device (pen drive or HDD) which has the “Backup Manager” setup to the console’s USB port. We downloaded the “Backup Manager” in the pre-requisite stage of this How-To Guides

4) Open the “Game Menu” and choose the option that says: “Install Package Files” and then choose “manager.pkg”.

The above step will install the “Backup Manager”, that will be responsible for any other task performed in the future on the hacked PS3.

5) Without hesitation, insert the genuine BluRay PS3 game into the disc tray and let it slide inside. Once done, Press “O” on the joystick and you will be prompted as to where to backup the inserted game. Options will be of internal HDD or external HDD – choose on your preference

Loading From Backup:

Just insert a fake DVD to fake the loading process and dumb the PS3 console. Run the “Backup Manager” in the “Games Menu”. Press “X” to play the selected backup game.

Note: For the mean time, you will have to keep the PS Jailbreak USB attached to the console to run backup games.

Enjoy some hardcore gaming fellow geeks!

Earlier HP has acquired Palm for US $ 1.2 billion after reportedly out-bidding Apple. Although there is no Official information has been released to the Public regarding the New trademark name yet it’s not hard to draw the conclusion from its name that incoming months we could see the long-awaited iPad-killer in the Market huh ? Seriously I would have loved this tablet more If they had chosen ‘Android’ as the OS, I have never used Palm, Perhaps a little shy too to use it as well but I am not alone. All we know as of yet, that this tablet would run Palm Web OS and we would keep you posted as more details become available to us.

To get things started soon, lets first quickly see what rooting it:

Rooting is a way like Jailbreaking, that allows the user to go into a sort of developer mode and gives him the ability to flash custom ROMs, themes and applications.

Now that we are clear on the word “root” here, let us see what this root will allow us, and, what it might not be available to provide us with.

This root will wipe your data off, so do backup beforehand as you don’t want to be screaming and saying where did that precious picture or contact go. So to be on the safe side (duh) do backup your phone first and leave no chance of sad happenings. The root like always will allow you to put in custom ROMs that may be found on the XDA-dev’s website [http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=653]. The root will also give the user the ability to go into custom recovery mode, where he will be able   to book and recover partitions through recovery. Sadly, one thing this root will not be able to achieve is, the ability to write to system or recover while in Android OS.

The Ingredients!:

To be able to achieve this properly, you will need to download the following files first:

PC36IMG.zip [http://link.geekfor.me/rootedromzip]

evorecovery [http://link.geekfor.me/evorecovery] or [http://jump.fm/YHKRP]

Due to the huge size of the first file [160+ MB] we are unable to provide a mirror link for that.

Instructions:

Warning: The process is harmless as long as you know the basics. If you are totally new to it, please DO NOT try this, as you may put your phone at risk of being bricked in the process of doing so.

1) The very first step is to put the PC36IMG.zip file on the root of your sdcard

• Code ->                adb push PC36IMG.zip /sdcard

2) Turn off your phone and after doing so, hold down the volume down while powering your mobile on. Continue to hold the volume down until you see the WHITE bootloader screen.

3) The bootloader, after a few seconds will begin scanning for files, and will eventually find the PC36IMG.zip file we put in earlier. The progress will be shown by a blue progress bar. The time taken for this is somewhere around 30-60 seconds.

4) The bootloader will list all the images in the zip and will ask you if you want to flash, CLICK YES

5) When the flashing is complete, it will ask for a reboot. CLICK YES AGAIN

6) It will now go into a booted ROM and now you are officially ROOT

7) Rename the PC36IMG.zip on your sdcard:

8 ) Plug in your phone into the USB and enter the following code:

• Code ->                adb shell mv /sdcard/PC36IMG.zip /sdcard/root-PC36IMG.zip

How to Recover:

1) Extract the evorecovery.zip to your desktop

2) Plug your phone into the USB port and in a Shell enter the following code:

• Code ->                adb reboot recovery

3) Your EVO will now boot in Recovery mode. At this point, turn your attention towards the directory you extracted the evorecovery.zip in. Enter:

• Code -> For Windows XP ~~>  Run recovery-windows.bat
• For Vista and Windows 7 do it as Admin

4) In a Shell enter the following code:

• Code -> For Linux ~~> ./recovery-linux.sh

5) Yet again, turn your attention towards your Phone and create a Nandroid Backup. You can now ATLAST flash custom roms, write and make changes to the system according to your needs and aspirations.

How to put a CUSTOM ROM:

1) Put the ROM on the root of your sdcard. Wipe data, dalvic cache and chose the option the flash update.zip from sdcard.

How to Return to STOCK default:

1) Run the RUU that is present below for download, as this is the only RUU after flashing:

• XDA-dev [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=685835]

It is no surprise that the HTC HD2 remains one of the best ever released smartphone in the market as of yet, due to its amazing hardware specs. Also, it does look stunning – but as long as it comes with the now proclaimed “dead” OS (Windows 6.5) the power utilized by it shall never go beyond the first gear. The very best and professional coders are doing their best to port the very well known and famous Android OS onto the HTC HD2 to make use of its shear power!. But the problems have come just as easily as the idea to port Android on it. They are coming in constant problems with the phone’s Snapdragon core and the tool called HaRET that is supposedly used to boot Linux from Windows based CE-based devices.

However, good news does not keep far from reach as these problems have been successfully solved and the community moves ahead to actually finally bring a user-friendly Android version to the smartphone in the coming days!

I was since last week looking for a good IM messenger, but just couldn’t find one. I wanted it mainly for MSN. Beejive, IM+, and Agile Mobile did not seem to appeal to me, but yet the official one did. Just like all other IM messengers, there is the Friends list box, the chat box and the MSN one also has the Social networking one which shows you all the status updates done by your Hotmail friends. There is a small Hotmail icon with an inbox icon indicator; clicking that will take you to your Hotmail’s mail account through your mobile browser. And one of the biggest advantages present in the IM are the use of Push Notifications.

By porting this to the iPhone, millions of iPhone/iPod Touch users will now be able to become the part of one of the biggest instant messaging network.

Its innovative Digital Microscope mode has also attracted tremendous attention not only from outdoor enthusiasts interested in nature observation, but also from the business and manufacturing worlds, which demand accurate, detailed records of tiny parts and delicate materials.

• Waterproof down to 6 m
• Sand and dustproof
• Shockproof to 1.5m

The Old time buddy and partner of Microsoft in Search, Yahoo who has not been growing until recently also showed an increased share in the May and grabbed 18.3% of US Market Share as compare to 17.7% in April according to the data released by ComScore. On the hand the leader in Search Market Google share dropped from 64.3% in April to 63.7% in May and the results are not settling well with the ComScore.

In a Recent Blog Post ComScore has notified that It’s gonna fix its Search Measurement. As both Yahoo and Bing have put tons of links on their Home-pages which are ‘Search Queries’ disguised as content.

Traditionally, the industry has thought about a “search” event as a submission of a query that subsequently presents a set of results to a user. comScore’s definition of search requires that the user be presented with search results and be able to completely change or refine their search directly from the result page. This encompasses the traditional “text box” query, as is the case with the major search engines’ main search entry point.

Sony has recently launched their new entry level DSLRs: the DSLR-A390 and DSLR-A290. According to the images leaked on the Internet, they have added more grip to it with addition of image-stabilized 14.2MP CCD on both the SLRs. While the higher priced A390 has a tilting LCD, the A290 has a fixed LCD, no liveview (which is sad) and hosts a larger viewfinder.

The A390 will cost $600 while the cheaper A290 will cost $500. The cameras are set to release next month.

Press Release:

• DSLR-A390 with 14.2 megapixels, Quick AF Live View and 6.7cm (2.7-inch) tilt LCD; DSLR-A290 with 14.2 megapixels
• Compact, stylish body with new grip design and revised button layout for comfortable handling
• Quick AF Live View with tilt LCD (α390) for live image preview with fast, accurate autofocus
• Friendly on-screen Help Guide and Graphic Display
• HDMI output and BRAVIA Sync

June 9, 2010: The α (Alpha) digital SLR range from Sony grows further with two stylish, affordable new entry-level cameras.

Ideal for first-time DSLR users, the DSLR-A390 (α390) and DSLR-A290 (α290) offer a dramatic step up in picture quality and creative options from point-and-shoot compact cameras. Just as importantly, they’re beautifully easy to use, even if you’ve never handled a DSLR before.

With a resolution of 14.2 effective megapixels for flawless, low-noise images, both cameras offer the speedy shooting responses that are prized by DSLR users.  The α390 adds the extra benefit of Quick AF Live View. This unique system teams the convenience of live image preview on the tilt-angle Clear Photo LCD with speedy, accurate phase-detection autofocus.

The most affordable new DSLR from Sony, the α290 offers the same 14.2 effective megapixel resolution as the α390 in a compact body that weighs just 456g (excluding battery and media).

Both cameras feature an attractive new grip design that allows even more comfortable handling. Upper control areas of both models have also been revised with a clear, uncluttered new button layout.

Even DSLR novices will find it brilliantly simple to explore the generous creative features of both new cameras. The intuitive Graphic Display makes it easy to understand the relation between shutter speed and aperture, plus the effects of your chosen exposure settings on the final picture. The Help Guide offers clear, concise explanations of camera functions, illustrated by a sample image to show the results you’ll achieve. Quick access to shooting and playback function menus is streamlined by colourful on-screen icons.

The α390 and α290 include a mini-HDMI terminal for direct connection to any HD Ready TV (requires optional cable). Support for PhotoTV HD ensures even better-looking still image reproduction on compatible BRAVIA™ models.  BRAVIA™ Sync allows control of slideshow and other camera playback functions in comfort using your TV remote.

The stylish, easy to use new α390 and α290 digital SLR cameras by Sony are available from summer 2010.
