Distinguish Root, Jailbreak and Unlock Bootloader Unlock Sim

Compared with computer, phone and tablet devices are relatively close. Jailbreak, root and unlock (unlock) is the way to overcome our limits, doing things that carriers and manufacturers do not want us to do.

The concept jailbreak, unlock root and is now no longer new, but still there are some people out there are inaccurate or vague about their differences. The following article will explain the differences between these concepts.

Jailbreak

Jailbreak is the process of removing the limitations applicable to manufacturers equipment.Jailbreak mostly done with devices such as Apple's iPhone and iPad. Jailbreak Apple removed the restrictions in place, allowing you to install the software of third parties outside the app store App Store of Apple. Through jailbreaking, you can do things like change the browser default email software or iPhone. In other words, jailbreaking lets you use the Apple software does not allow on your iPhone or iPad.

Jailbreak can be done also with other devices with similar objectives on the iPhone or iPad. For example, jailbreak tablet Microsoft Surface RT lets you install the computer software programs are not allowed to use. (By default, the desktop mode devices running Windows RT only be allowed to run some apps written by Microsoft, such as Microsoft Office). But note that the computer applications that have been compiled (compile) for ARM processor platform, so you can not run Windows software currently on the Surface RT tablet.

Companies like Apple and Microsoft do not want you to jailbreak their device to change the default program to run on the operating system or applications of third-party computers on Windows RT.To perform the jailbreak, hackers find vulnerabilities must turn allows them to "exploit" the device over the fence and protected by the manufacturer.

Android allows users to install apps from third party app stores outside of the Google should not need to jailbreak.

Root

Root is the process for root access (root access), giving the user full control and access to thesmartphone or your tablet. This action is mainly done on Android devices, but can also perform root on other devices use Linux as the operating system Symbian has Nokia's untimely death.

Similar to jailbreak iOS devices, root is the way to overcome these limitations by the manufacturer or network launched with Android devices. After a successful root, ie you have root access is available, you can remove or change the applications and settings on the smartphone or tablet.

One of the most common reasons to root the phone instead of the operating system manufacturers by providing a custom ROM (custom ROM) other. A custom ROM is here understood as the OS version by the programmer or programming team to develop a template for any phone. In addition, the root machine also provides the ability to remove apps not want that producers and networks put in, thereby helping to increase memory storage capacity.

Android phones root process depends on each device, but have in common is increasingly simple.Typically, the more people use phones like Nexus 4, Galaxy S3 or HTC One X will have to choose a ROM so they are more application developers are interested.

Note that root can affect product performance warranty. However, the root of the manufacturer's original ROM can now be returned to its original state pretty easy, does not affect the warranty rights.

Unlock Bootloader (unlocked bootloader)

Literally, the bootloader code is executed before the operating system starts booting. Every Android phone has bootloader to instruct the operating system to boot normally. Usually locked bootloader on Android devices because the system even though it is open source, but manufacturers still want to create the Android OS version for your device. To protect the operating system Android version of its own, the manufacturers usually locked bootloader. With the locked bootloader Android devices, machines can only boot into the ROM specified by the manufacturer. So, if you want to root your phone to install the ROM, you have to unlock the bootloader of the manufacturer.

However, note that unlocking the bootloader will void the equipment warranty. In addition, it also clears the data in the computer, including applications, gaming, SMS and MMS.

Unlock bootloader may require exploits. However, some manufacturers like HTC and Motorolathat allows users to unlock the bootloader on some devices, but warned that this would affect the rights of warranty equipment. According to experts, unlock the bootloader on the Nexus devices easier than other Android devices.

In theory, the unlocked bootloader also allows for the installation of the Android operating system is not on the device. For example, you can install Ubuntu OS or WebOS phone on the Nexus phones have unlocked bootloaders. Even Ubuntu version for your computer and can be installed on Nexus 7 tablet. Of course, the operating system must be built to be compatible with the installed equipment.

Unlock phone

The phone is sold with a service contract of the network often "network key". Network Locked means that the phone is set to only be used on a network of suppliers, for example, the iPhone version of the network lock is only used Viettel Viettel SIM is not used or SIM VinaPhone MobiFone. If you put another network's SIM in, you will get notified locked phone can not be used with this SIM.

Unlocking (unlock) the phone allows you to use the SIM of another network. To unlock the phone, you need the unlock code. Many operators are now charging to unlock the phone in case the phone network lock is still time contract with the network.
