As we wait for the commencement of the 2017 UTME REGISTRATION, we are taking our time to give out the necessary information that every JAMB candidate ought to know before REGISTRATION commences.

Today, we will be giving out information on factors to consider before choosing your examination centre i.e the state and local government you intend to sit for the examination.

Over the years, it has been discovered that most JAMB candidates proceed to choose their examination centres without considering some important factors.

Before you choose your exam centre, consider the proximity of the location i.e how close the centre is to your location, this is a very IMPORTANT factor to consider in order to avoid arriving late to the centre on the exam.
If there is any reason why you have to choose such a centre, then you should go to your exam location at least a day before the exam.

On the other hand, student who may have reasons why they must be at the exam centre on the day of the exam, should endeavor to leave as early as possible to avoid getting stuck in a traffic or some other unforseen hinderances.

Candidates should not choose a centre because they have friends who have chosen same centre; your friend might have a favourable reason why he/she chose the centre.It is advisable to choose centres that are convenient for you.

This is the reason you should endeavor to register for the UTME on time. Candidates who are involved in late REGISTRATION may end up in centres not favourable to them.

Meanwhile, 2017 UTME registration is yet to commence. We urge all the aspirants to keep calm while we look forward to the commencement of the 2017 UTME registration date.
We will bring the information to you the moment it commences officially.

A new hack, discovered by hacker Vincedes3, can crash and disable the Messages app on any device running iOS 8 through to iOS 10. The revelation was made popular by YouTuber EverythingApplePro, who uploaded a video presenting the exploit’s destructive impacts. Additionally, Vincedes3 hasdocumented the exploit on his own channel.
https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t34.0-12/15878964_419271258463518_994999620_n.jpg?oh=43f0cc0aeec39f71dbc622557f565ae1&oe=586C5C42
The exploit works by overloading a vCard – typically used to exchange contact information between devices – with thousands of lines of code to such an extent that the Messages app freezes and cannot process any further information. Messages subsequently crashes. Vincedes3 has reportedly included 14,281 lines of code in the vCard file, working out at roughly 70 times the amount of code found in the average vCard.
The exploit is particularly destructive in that restarting the Messages app, or even the iPhone, is ineffective, unless the owner looks to Vincedes3’s blog post for a solution.
Along with access to a copy of the vCard, Vincedes3 has thankfully detailed multiple ways of restoring the iOS device to normal. The exploit works on the premise that Apple’s iOS will always try to open the most recently opened text. By sending yourself a message and then opening it via Siri, the exploit will move down the list of messages and become ineffective. Alternatively, the hacker hassupplied a link which can be opened in Safari to restore the iOS device to normal.

The V20 is amazing phone from LG powered by Android OS, V7.0 (Nougat). Packing impressive features such as a removable battery, expandable storage, and the latest Android version straight out of the box, the V20 is a tough phone to beat, know more about LG V20.
How To Sucessfully Root Your LG V20

There is one thing that would make the phone even better—root privileges and Superuser status. It's the only way to take full advantage of the other features like the Quad 32-bit DAC, while getting rid of bloatware at the same time! We will have to wipe the LG V20 storage in order to successfully root it, so be sure to back up your phone before proceeding.
How To Sucessfully Root Your LG V20


Requirements:
US open market LG V20 model US996, with an unlocked bootloader
Windows, Mac, or Linux computer
USB data cable


Step 1

Install ADB & Fastboot
Installing ADB and Fastboot is a crucial step when it comes to rooting your LG V20. We'll be using ADB to reboot into bootloader mode, then Fastboot to flash a custom TWRP image.


Step 2

Activate Developer Options & Enable USB Debugging
If you've made it this far, that means you've already unlocked your bootloader as per the "Requirements" section. Since that process wiped your data and settings, make sure to activate Developer options and re-enable USB debugging before proceeding.


Step 3

Install TWRP
Once you've enabled USB debugging, connect your LG V20 to your computer and open up command prompt/terminal/command line (use the one corresponding to your OS of choice).
Change directories to the platform-tools folder inside of your ADB installation directory, then type in the following command to get ADB going:

adb start-server

Then, we'll reboot into Fastboot with:

adb reboot fastboot

Next, download the TWRP IMG file for the US LG V20 at the following link:

Download TWRP for US LG V20 (model US 996)

After it's full downloaded, type the following into the prompt to flash TWRP on your device.

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-1-us996.img

If the file is not in your platform-tools folder, be sure to type out the full file location for the TWRP IMG (example: fastboot flash recovery C:\Downloads\twrp-3.0.2.1-us996.img). Alternatively, you can click on the IMG and drag it onto the command prompt/terminal/command line window, then hit enter, and Fastboot will flash TWRP to your device.


Step 4

Launch TWRP
Launching TWRP at this stage can be a bit tricky, so be sure to read through this step fully before starting.

Open the back casing and pull out the battery, then put the battery back in and close the casing. Next, press and hold the power button and the volume down button until the LG logo appears. Release the power button for approximately one second, then press and hold it again—release both buttons when the TWRP screen appears.


Step 5

Allow System Modifications
This is when we will wipe the device storage and factory reset, so be sure to back up your data if you used your phone after unlocking the bootloader. When TWRP launches, it will ask you if you want to allow system modifications. We do, otherwise TWRP will need to be reinstalled every time we want to use it. So go ahead and swipe right on that.




Step 6

Decrypt Device Storage
Next, we'll want to decrypt the V20's storage by wiping the device.

Tap on the "Wipe" tab, then touch the "Format Data" option. Type in "yes" and tap the little check mark on your keyboard.








Step 7

Reboot TWRP
After using the "Format Data" setting, TWRP will state you might need to reboot TWRP in order to gain access to your data partition, so that's exactly what we're going to do.
We're going to reboot to TWRP from TWRP.

Go back to the TWRP main screen, open the "Reboot" tab, then select "Reboot Recovery."






Step 8

Flash SuperSU for System-Less Root
Next, you'll need to flash SuperSU on your phone to permanently root the device. So when TWRP finishes rebooting, tap the "Advanced" tab, touch "ADB Sideload," then swipe the slider to start things up. After that, download the SuperSU ZIP from your computer using the following link, then go back to command prompt/terminal/command line.

Download SuperSU from Chainfire (.zip)

Type in the following, remembering to use the exact download path to the SuperSU ZIP, or to drag and drop the ZIP like we did with the TWRP IMG earlier.

adb sideload SR5-SuperSU-v2.78-SR5-20161130091551.zip

Hit enter and wait for TWRP to flash the SuperSU ZIP.


Step 9

Reboot & Verify Root
Reboot your phone once TWRP finishes installing SuperSU, and you should be fully rooted when you get back up. To verify this, download an app called Root Checker by developer joeykrim.

Install Root Checker for free from the Google Play Store

From there, just open the app, then tap "Verify root" and press "Grant" on the Superuser access request. If everything went off without a hitch, you'll see a message saying "Congratulations! Root access is properly installed on this device!"

You have successfully root your LG V20.
