Safe rooting now available for international, T-Mobile, Verizon LG G4

For those who own LG’s latest flagship – the LG G4 – and have that itch to gain root access, it has seemed like a long wait. But the waiting is about to stop right the heck now for a lot of you, thanks to the efforts of some good people from XDA. Ladies and gents, a safe rooting option is now available for T-Mobile and Verizon LG-G4s, as well as the international version.

This rooting option is brought to you by the team of developers from XDA, namely, “thecubed”, “autoprime”, “IllegalArgument” and “jcase”. To be transparent, this team had already achieved root to the said handset around June, just that the method of achieving root access was deemed unsafe for the general public. But that is exactly what has happened now, a safe option is now available, specifically for the T-Mobile H811 10H version, the Verizon VS986 11A version and the International H815 10c variants of the LG G4.

This is called the “Low Effort Root” tool, and basically involves flashing a pre-rooted system image into your LG G4. That will call for the user downloading a system image file around 1.5GB in size. It’s a pretty hefty download, to be sure, but probably worth it for those who want root access.

The developers have specified exactly how this process is to be done, so check out the official thread for complete instructions. Also, a TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) custom recovery has already been made available for T-Mobile, care of XDA as well – you can check out the official thread for that tool. As with any tweaking we feature, we warn you that this process can result in your smartphone getting bricked, so tread carefully. Make your backups, if available, and follow the instructions to the letter.

Power mobile devices in Samsung’s 1st wireless charging monitor

We’ve all been there, having a jungle of wires and chargers on our desk since we have a myriad of mobile devices charging, sometimes more than two at the same time. And while wireless charging is still a fairly new thing in the consumer market, we can predict that as more devices and OEMs start adapting it, it will become common sooner or later. Samsung has now announced the first ever wireless mobile charging monitor to help you manage your desk’s criss-crossed wires.

Samsung’s SE370 is the first ever monitor that has the capability to charge your mobile devices wirelessly. By simply placing your smartphone or tablet on the charging area located on the monitor’s stand, you’ll be able to juice up the device without having the inconvenience and annoyance of all those wires. As long as your device uses the Qi wireless charging standard, then you’re good to go.

Aside from its wireless charging capability, the SE370 also helps lessen the eye strain from staring too much at the monitor. It has an eye-saver mode that optimizes picture quality and at the same time lessens the harmful effects of the blue light, which is the usual culprit for eye strain. The high performance Plane-to-Line-Switching panel of the monitor gives the user the 178 degree wide-viewing angle, which is the universally-optimized viewing settings. Gamers will also have an improved experience because of the non-distractive and immersive settings.

The SE370 is available in 23.6 inches and 27 inches models, and has an Eco Saving Plus function that reduces screen brightness. The monitor itself, specifically the front cover, stand, and circuits are made without PVC. No word yet on its pricing and availability.
