Google Glass Already Rooted

Nobody is surprised, it runs android, a well known system.

Off topic:
I'm very afraid of these glasses. They will create pokemon-like games for it and we will find lots of dumb kids trying to catch monsters all over the town.

What, like Invisimals? Denpa Men?

BTW the rumors say the iwatch won't need any other device besides a computer to get the most out of it.

Would that computer be required to have :shudder: iTunes installed?

 

[pokefloote]

Jailbroken google glass? So they managed to run iOS on it, then jailbreak it?

 

[Haloman800]

It's called "Rooting", not Jailbreaking, since Android is based on Linux.

ITT I don't any of these newfangled terms for hackering.

Just change "jailbroken" to rooted.

IIRC Google Glass runs on Android, which Google has always been totally cool with rooting.

I don't think we have technology advanced enough to build a "smart contact lens" for an affordable price. They might have preferred to use normal glasses instead of sunglasses because it would be awkward and difficult to use "google sunglasses" at night or inside a building. Remember Google Glass is not designed to be a fashion product. And, yeah, I don't think it will sell either, it seems like those ideas that look good on paper but are not practical. The way I see it, people like it because it seems futuristic, but I can only see the trouble it would cause.

A few years ago scientist finally found a way to implant multiple leds into a contact lens, but I dont think they can insert many.

How does one jailbreak a non-apple device.

...does one first install iOS to it?

Seems like a horrendous waste of time. No thanks.

 

[shakirmoledina]

I don't know if it's really worth it. Probably after some months of it's release it will but currently I feel it's gonna be unusual.

yup, but without holding nothing. If these glasses become popular, I think I should stop drinking 'n driving 'cause the street will be filled with dumb-game players searching for AR monsters

ITT everyone gets the fucking point of the thread but feels like complaining over the semantics of "jailbroken" instead of "rooted".

Even though the image in the OP clearly says jailbroken so I have no fucking clue why anyone would make the asinine assumption that the device is "jailbroken".

So... How 'bout we call it Rootbroken?

Wait just yesterday it was jailbroken, now its ROOTED? come on google, get your shiz together. Gahars is running trains all over your shiz.

He went through a lot of work for nothing. Google glass supports the standard "adb oem unlock" command after which you just flash a custom recovery and superuser.zip (or supersu.zip).

If the hacker gained access via a back door, we could call it Assblasted.

Well, you gotta make the custom recovery first (which admittedly shouldn't be too hard; dump the existing recovery and upload it here: http://builder.clockworkmod.com/)

But I'm not sure what Glass has in terms of buttons etc., so additional changes may have to be made to make recovery actually usable on it.

 

[Jamstruth]

Custom Recovery isn't really required. Its just nicer for dealing with flashing ROMs all the time (what you tend to do with an unlocked bootloader). If you're just rooting the device you don't need a Custom Recovery.

I thought that was the case, I was just responding to nl255's claim.
