[HOW-TO][UNROOT] How to unroot back your Galaxy Y GT-S5360


Are you worrying about your warranty voided Galaxy Y? (by rooting it in some earlier day!)

Dont Worry! So here's trick to kick "Super user" and take your phone into Unrooted Condition back again.


1. Just Download this File
2. Save it in the root of SDCard.
3. Restart into Recovery mode [Shutdown and Hold (Volume Up + Power Button + Home Button) at once for few Seconds]
4. Choose "Update using a Zip file"
5. Just point to this Unroot.zip and Proceed.

Voila! It should work!

Good luck!

Retrieve Image objects from a .NET Web Service using Ksoap to Android

Hi Guys!

After lot of effort I have completed one of the tutorials regarding KSOAP Web Services with Android. :D
So I would like to describe how I have solved the things for any case some one will get the use and well for my future reference as well.

Task
Using the following .Net Webservice, call method GetLinkImage  by passing the image ids listed below. The method will return an image. Save these images to a local storage on android device and show them in a suitable way.

Thanks to this web site, got the basics of Koap with Android..

Below is a Simple program with Ksoap using a Webservice.

package com.pxr.tutorial.soap.weather;

import org.ksoap2.SoapEnvelope;
import org.ksoap2.serialization.SoapObject;
import org.ksoap2.serialization.SoapSerializationEnvelope;
import org.ksoap2.transport.HttpTransportSE;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class Main extends Activity {
 
 private static String SOAP_ACTION = "http://tempuri.org/HelloWorld";
 
 private static String NAMESPACE = "http://tempuri.org/";
 private static String METHOD_NAME = "HelloWorld";
 
 private static String URL = "http://bimbim.in/Sample/TestService.asmx?WSDL";
 
 
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        
        //Initialize soap request + add parameters
        SoapObject request = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, METHOD_NAME);        
        request.addProperty("Parameter","Value");
        
        
        SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER11);
        envelope.setOutputSoapObject(request);
     
        // Make the soap call.
  HttpTransportSE androidHttpTransport = new HttpTransportSE(URL);
        try {
         
         //this is the actual part that will call the webservice
   androidHttpTransport.call(SOAP_ACTION, envelope);        
        } catch (Exception e) {
         e.printStackTrace(); 
        }
        
  // Get the SoapResult from the envelope body.  
  SoapObject result = (SoapObject)envelope.bodyIn;
    
  if(result != null){
   TextView t = (TextView)this.findViewById(R.id.resultbox);
   t.setText("SOAP response:\n\n" + result.getProperty(0).toString());
  }
  
    }
}


Here is the Solution to the Above mentioned task! yeY!

Thess permissions have to be added in the Android manifest file as well.

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
