    Description:
    Last week Amazon announced their new cloud player for music. But many of us already use and store our files with iTunes. This video shows you how you can sync your music to both programs so that when you purchase a song from one, it automatically syncs with the other.

    In this episode, we will learn how to root an Android based phone.

    Jailbreaking your phone is now legal in the US

    COMMANDS:
    adb devices (This should list a device as a long number. If it doesnt something is wrong.)
    adb push c:\droid2root\rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp
    adb shell
    cd /data/local/tmp
    chmod 0755 rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
    ./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin (Be patient here. When finished it will return you to c:\droid2root)
    adb devices
    adb shell (you should now see a # instead of a $)
    mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
    exit
    adb push c:\droid2root\Superuser.apk /system/app
    adb push c:\droid2root\su /system/bin
    adb push c:\droid2root\busybox /system/bin
    adb shell
    chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
    chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
    mv /system/recovery-from-boot.p /system/recovery-from-boot.p.disabled
    mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
    rm /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
