Have you ever been going through your drawers and found an old iPod only to find that it wont boot up....sucks doesn't it? By old iPod I mean something like an iPod video remember those old things. Well i found my old iPod and I wouldn't turn on it would start to boot ( displaying the silver apple) then it would just die, you could feel the kick of the hard drive shutting off.

Steps:

How to put an iphone or ipod touch into dfu mode
For whatever reason be it jailbreaking or fixing an error dfu mode is used by most advanced iPhone users
1. Power off the device.
2. Hold down the power button for 8 seconds
3. While holding the power button hold the home button for an additional 7 seconds
4. After the 7 seconds release the power button but keep holding the home button
5. After about 7 more seonds you can release the home button
You should see a black screen if you do then you probably did it right
If you are unsure then you can do this with your device plugged Into your computer and judge whether or not the device is really on by the sounds the computer makes.
To come out of DFU mode I usually just hold down the power and home button together for 8 seconds to force my device to reboot
HOW TO: Hamachi on android
Hamachi is a vpn program which can be used to link up computers. With hamachi on an android you would be able to access the files on multiple computers from anywhere in the world (provided that you have wifi, 3g, 4g or any other type of internet connection on your phone) this is useful when programs like dropbox can't hold the file that you want because it is too large and you know that you will need it at some point when you are on the go.
To get hamachi on android there are a few requirements which must be met first
1. Internet access
2. Ubuntu/Debian/Backtrack or any other Linux distro on your phone.
3. Rooted phone (root access)
Once those 3 requirements have been met you should be set to go.
1. Boot up the Linux distro on your phone
2. Either open up the browser on the distro or the browser on your phone.
3. go to http://www.mediafire.com/?jwng92o6j56ov8l and download the hamachi file. If you did this on the distro then you may skip to step 5A
4. If it hasn't happened already, move that whole file to emmc on your phone
5A. Move the hamachi file from the downloads folder in the distro to /root
5. Open up the distro and copy that hamachi file from /mnt/emmc to /root
6. Open terminal and cd into that directory and run the following commands
7. sh ./install
8. mkdir /dev/net
9. mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200
10. apt-get install sudo
11. apt-get install libcrypto++7
12. ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7
13. sudo tuncfg
14. hamachi-init
