ReplyDear Waledac Oxana,
ReplyWhen rooting with this tutorial, the bootloader will be unlocked?
I will still have the DRM keys or I will loose them?
no the bootloader wont be unlocked, this method works on locked bootloader , also u wont loose ur DRM keys :)
ReplyAye-Aye Sir! This will be Awesome!
ReplyThe method is like "Privilege Escalation" without
touching the boot-loader (eg. grub/lilo),
while the other method is like " Installing Gentoo Linux
where Windows was installed"?
I am trying to understand the mechanisms.
