<img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="211" src="http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/8048/backnice540x3521.jpg" width="324" />You may not know who TeamWin is but they are the guys that brought things like WIMAX and HDMI Mirror to CM7 for the EVO. They are hard at work but they have families and jobs just like the rest of us and this will take time. According to a few tweets along with an already huge thread over at XDA they have found an exploit in the kernel used on the HTC EVO 3D and are looking good for root access in the coming days. you can follow @agrabren on Twitter or just keep your eyes on the xda thread. From what I am reading they are working blind and mainly punching holes throughout the kernel and hoping for the best but the exploit is a good one and it will just take some time. He is also pretty confident that the same exploit will also be available on the HTC Sensation 4G with some tweaking. This is good news while we wait for HTC to update and unlock bootloaders like they promised. While sifting through the XDA thread I can also confirm that the recent OTA update going out for the EVO 3D does NOT ruin your chances from root because HTC does not know about the exploit at the moment. If you are worried just don’t accept OTA’s for now but a few have already confirmed the latest is ok to accept. Stay tuned as this all unfolds over the next few days.

Facts on NT Kernel Logger

Kernels interact with computer hardware for the operating system.An operating system's kernel interacts with the <a href="">computer hardware</A> on behalf of the operating system. The Windows operating system uses the NT kernel. Like other kernels, it has built-in functions to record system events in a "log" file. An NT Kernel Logger session is used to track system events. The user specifies which system events he wants recorded in the "EnableFlags" subsection of the "Event_Trace_Properties" structure, then uses the "StartTrace" function to send these options to the kernel logger. One of the NT kernel's logging functions is a "Global Logger" session. This function will track and record events that occur early in the Windows startup process, before any users log in to the system. TraceView is a tool provided by Microsoft to control NT Kernel Logger sessions. It is used to set the parameters of a kernel logger session, and displays formatted messages from the kernel concerning the system events the user specified. <a href="http://www.ehow.com/facts_7724944_nt-kernel-logger.html">Source.</A>
