[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Eliott:
Is there any known way of cracking the NAND protection on this phone yet?

Or if not, does anyone know where I should look for the latest news on rooting this Japanese-only phone?

I've been looking all over the internet for months and turned up nothing. I could really do with some help here please guys! :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sharpen3d:
I am also interested in an answer to this question. I have been in talks with a few of the Japanese users currently trying to figure out the phone, and I would like to post a bit about what we know, what progress has been achieved and why this is important for other people outside of Japan.

First and foremost, Sharp has every intention of getting their 3D phones into the hands of overseas users. Now, I could be patient and wait for this to launch, and then for the teams to get to work and crack the bootloader open properly. But why not get an early jump on the work so that the phone can arrive, on the Western shores, fully ready for custom roms and root permissions? The three major 3D phones Sharp currently is pimping (the IS03, the 003SH and the SH-03C) are essentially the same phone with minor tweaks. Serious progress on one could lead to a bit step forward for all! And as the Lynx is currently stuck at 2.1 (and won't be 2.2 till "summer"), it's in the greatest need for an upgrade (the 003SH is already 2.2, and the IS03 goes to 2.2 this

week

). I know that I'm being a little selfish in this endeavor, but I also know I'm not the only one with this phone, and not the only one interested. Perhaps I'm just the most vocal.

Now, for a quick rundown:

rageagainstthecage: doesn't work, freezes up, phone must be hard rebooted with battery removal.

psneuter: offers root access, but cannot modify /system due to NAND protection/locked bootloader.

SuperOneClick: see above.

Z4root: see above.

Universal Androot: doesn't work. Attempts to root, gets the "no good fuu~~" response.

Visionary: crashes when attempting soft root.

Unrevoked apk: fails immediately. No harm to the phone, but no success either.

gfree: No luck, can't toggle S-off but that may be due to the fact that the phone is definitely not the G2.

Unrevoked app: can't recognize the phone.

I'm hoping that someone in the UnrEVOked community is willing to try and work with me/us on this. We're not a large group by any means (and a majority of the users don't have an expansive English grasp) but we are dedicated, and I'm trying something new everyday. Sharp has even released the kernel as open source, so, if an exploit can be found, work can begin immediately. This could be something big, something wonderful. If anyone could please contact me and let me know, I'm really hopeful.

And sorry for hijacking your thread Eliott.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Eliott:
Not at all, thanks for the great info!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sharpen3d:
As crazy as it might sound, one thing I recommend doing is to continue monitoring other roofing methods that aren't exactly for the sh-03c and seeing what happens. Recently a new method for the Thunderbolt has been unveiled, and I have every intention to try it out. Obviously the likelihood of it working is slim, but it's a ton better than running z4root over and over and hoping for different results.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Eliott:
I'm a bit hesitant to use untested methods. This is my first Android phone and I have never rooted a phone before so it would be wise for me to wait for someone else to find a reliable way first.

I have flashed many older phones and PSPs in the past but this scene is quite new to me.

I am still checking many Japanese sites daily for news of a root. I will send you a PM if I find anything :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cmaclean:
figured to bump the thread as I`m also a Lynx3D owner looking for root access and a way around the NAND protection. I would be nice to free up this phone .
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Eliott:
I'm still searching daily but it seems to be impossible, I'm not sure if it will ever be rooted.

Never mind though, at least we get android 2.2 this month :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sharpen3d:
Recently there's been some success for the IS03 since receiving their 2.2 update. A new process labelled is03break has apparently been great for soft rooting. It hasn't worked on the SH-03 due to it still being on 2.1, but perhaps there will be a breakthrough after our update drops in June (July?).

Additionally, certain other blogs (specifically the Japanese blog Androot) has reported a failure in attempting all conventional root methods, confirming that the Japanese teams are on the same page we are. Both good and bad, as it does give us a baseline, but I refuse to accept there isn't a solution yet.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Eliott:
That certainly gives me hope, looking forward to 2.2 even more now!

And Docomo have announced that 2.2 is coming this month (May). It has been widely reported and they confirmed it in the Docomo shop this morning for me :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sharpen3d:
Despite my better judgement, I went ahead and ran the is03break on my phone yesterday. Not only was it not successful (ran until it timed out) but it managed to adjust my settings enough that my phone wasn't able to see the cellular network, effectively destroying it's "phone" capabilities. I was able to hard reset it through psneuter/adb and now it's back to normal, but it was definitely a bit of a scare.

When 2.2 comes out, I may give it another go, but in the meantime I'll just play nice. Docomo staff confirmed 2.2 is coming before the end of May, and there's a chance we'll need to do it through the PC like the AU folk had to.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Eliott:
Looks like the update may well have been delayed until next month -

http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=en&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dlynx%2B3d%2B2.2%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26hs%3DG75%26sa%3DX%26rlz%3D1R1GGHP_en-GB___JP427%26tbs%3Dqdr:d%26prmd%3Divns&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=ja&twu=1&u=http://juggly.cn/androidrumors&usg=ALkJrhgmfYRu8El9AjAHz_UeNb1s85EhZw

This is getting a bit much now. 6 months I've been waiting for them to update this phone. I'm considering taking it back and demanding a refund.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sharpen3d:
For what it's worth, even if there's a delay, at least it's a bit more definitive than things have been. Way back in March when the Quake hit, we were told it was being delayed from March to "Summer." Then they really brought it forward for May, which I don't really consider summer. That rumor blog (and remember, the key word there is rumor) suggests it will be delayed until early June. Worst case scenario, that means that, instead of getting it this week, we receive it in two weeks. I agree it's a pain in the ass, and the fact remains that, stuck at 2.1, we can't use a lot of conventional rooting tools (not to mention run flash, do App2SD, JIT, etc). But returning the phone at this point accomplishes next to nothing. The summer Docomo lineup is a bit underwhelming, in my opinion. You're paying for the camera, and the phone is attached to that. Even if you get the Galaxy S (a really nice phone, no doubt) it's starting to become a bit older. IF we can hold on till SH-03C receives 2.2, I honestly believe a world of possibilities open up. This community may not be large, but we can still tout a 3D phone proudly, and getting 2.2 really legitimizes its abilities.

Just be patient man.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Eliott:
Yeah, you are right.

I'm just getting frustrated at having to keep deleting applications. I'm really looking forward to using flash, bumping up the CPU and trying out that new Tegra app for playing Tegra games!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sharpen3d:
I'm just really hoping for App2SD. This is getting severely limiting. Additionally, I'm pretty sure that rooting will become significantly more likely once we're up on 2.2. I'm confident that, once we get to Froyo, our phones might be able to piggyback on methods utilitized by other NAND locked phones (example: EVO) that have been successfully rooted.

I just want to uninstall that stupid 3D golf game. It takes up so much memory it's insane.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Eliott:
This sounds promising -

"May 27, 2011

The previous model, LYNX 3D SH-03C in Android 2.2 update seems to be out soon. The details will be announced separately, "there is no update, that will never" Yes."

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sharpen3d:
The woman at the Docomo helpline, having started to recognize my voice, totally leveled with me. The update was planned for the end of this month, and they got screwed in timing. They hope for the first weeks of June, but it may be even later than that. Truth be told, I bought my SH-03c aftermarket, so I can't return it even if I wanted to. But I'm not bailing. I'm confident we will see the update before the 15th, and, really, as long as it doesn't start malfunctioning, I can wait.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Eliott:
More rumors, looks like July 7th is the day -

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sharpen3d:
That makes a ton of sense. June 7th is when Nintendo is launching a huge update for their platforms as well, and Japan seems to like to do a ton of updates all together.

I want this so badly, I can't believe it's going to be another week.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sharpen3d:
The product page for the SH-03C over at nttDOCOMO just went 404. I really hope it's because they're busy updating with new information, and not because I'm going to be furiously angry.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Eliott:
Man this had better turn up on Tuesday, I'm having major problems with this phone...

My storage space is low even after removing almost all my apps and deleting the cache! Something is eating it up and I can't figure out what. I have 33mb free yet have only installed about 25 - 30mb of apps!

Where the hell has the rest gone?!

I have tried removing the battery, running some cach cleaners...this is crazy!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Eliott:
Finally fixed the problem...with a factory reset:(

That was some weird problem, I spent hours deleting everything I could find on the phone but it made no difference. Hope this issue is fixed in the update.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sharpen3d:
Confirmed! Talked to a Docomo rep this morning about the disappearing webpage. He said that it'll be coming back once they finish updating details about the 2.2 upgrade procedure. It'll roll out on June 7th at 10:00am JPT, and must be done through the PC. It looks like we have the same song and dance that the people at AU had to brave, but at least it's really just five days away.

Additionally, I'm glad you were able to salvage your phone! I think the software and hardware don't play so well together, and it freaks out on occasion. I'm having the same memory issues: uninstalled almost everything, and I can't put in Plants vs. Zombies. Thankfully it was legit free, or I'd be unhappy.

Let the countdown begin!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Eliott:
Not long now, been looking forward to this for months. Starting to feel like a kid on christmas eve!

Hope we can get rooted this month.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Eliott:
Docomo site has been updated...

Apparently the upgrade is coming tomorrow, but what the hell is "Mejaappudetotsuru"??

I understand what it means in Japanese, but apparenly I have to install it on my pc?

Where do I find it? Or is that the update itself which will be available from tomorrow and not just some kind of driver?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sharpen3d:
I had to navigate the jungles of the Sharp product page to finally get the software, then try to run the software without having the Japanese language pack on my PC (smart, right?), and now, finally, it's installing. I can almost taste the delicious Froyo...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Eliott:
I just got the Sharp update thing too and am trying to download the update now, but my build number is lower than what they reccomend...

Keep posting here, let me know how you get on!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Eliott:
I'm stuck...

It downloaded the update to my PC and I ran through some menus...but I cant get it to go any further.

What USB mode are you in?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Eliott:
I think I got it...had to switch the phone to 'update mode'.

It has restarted and now I think it is updating properly...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sharpen3d:
Where is this update mode? I'm going crazy trying to find it!

Edit: Turns out I was still on build 1.00.00.03 from when I did the system reset. Sonofa...had to redownload the original update, now working on 2.2
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Eliott:
First make sure you have updated to the latest build using the built in updater (you should have build number 0.00.04 or something like that). You can do it with a manual update from within the phone itself (under the major update menu). Try it on 3G instead of wireless.

Then when that has finished go to the major update menu on the phone and check for a major update, it should say that one is ready.

Then click the second option on the major update screen (I think it says 'start update' and is greyed out until you do the major update check). click that 'start update' button and your phone will reset into major update mode.

connect it to your pc with the USB cable and run the Sharp majorupdate software you downloaded from the sharp site.

I am currently at 60% but have to go to work very soon. I will check back in here in about 11 hours.

Good luck!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sharpen3d:
Got everything up and running! Memory issues seem to be fixed and it looks and feels great. Big fan of the new dropdown bar and all the toggles therein. Running the gingerbreak apk does nothing, so I'm going to steel myself and try is03break again tomorrow. For now, its worth it just to have this sucker feeling new again.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Eliott:
Good to hear you got it working!

Yeah it is better than 2.1, much faster. And they kept teh transparent notification bar I liked which is nice.

let me know if you have any joy getting root!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sharpen3d:
Initial testing shows the psneuter exploit has been patched, which blows. Success in the is03 root has been in part to psneuter opening the door. This might be a bit of a obstacle at the moment, but lets see what the fellows in the Japanese dev community find...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cmaclean:
Figured that would be the case. Sucks being the middle to last to receive an OS update. Oh well as said this phone feels much more comfortable than before. The menu toggles are great, so now I can delete some widgets. Now I just need a bigger SD card.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Eliott:
I think I've filled mine with apps already. Been having some problems with the launcher crashing and taking ages to load up. Time to delete a few maybe!

I noticed that Pocket Legends seems much smoother and its great having flash and th eupdated Youtube app.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sharpen3d:
It looks like the day before the 2.2 release, smartgoods finally got a root process working:

http://smartgoods.me/2011/06/getting_sh-03c_root_one_more/#more-2943

Dammit. So either be patient or revert to 2.1, which may be impossible . With psneuter patched and Gingerbreak unsuccessful, we may be locked in for a while yet. Stay tuned.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cmaclean:
Patients is a necessary skill in this country.

Maybe they can adapt the method to 2.2.

Here's hoping ..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Eliott:
Sucks that they got it working just a day before everyone upgraded.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sharpen3d:
There's a new, mildly insane root method that works for those who went to 2.2. I'm hoping to test it out later this week, but it requires about 10 minutes with adb and I simply am too busy right now. Hopefully I'll have something great to report back soon!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cmaclean:
Here's hoping!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xerxesnet:
great, hope something similar could be applied to sh-12c
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sharpen3d:
From what I understand, the SH-12C is already garnering quite a bit of attention in the Japanese dev market. I expect that, due to the trail blazed with work on the IS03/SH-03C, you'll see something relatively soon.

Additional note, I recommend all SH-03C users to use this root process to finally enjoy the Dual SD Mount widget. I can copy files to my microSD card without going into airplane mode! A gross oversight finally fixed through illicit hacking! Joy!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cmaclean:
Tried and ran is03break but received an error ..... BAD LUCK. FIXED vold?

Any input would be good..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sharpen3d:
There's an ongoing theory in the Japanese dev community that it's just a hit-or-miss function. Try rebooting and trying again. One thing that worked for me was not installing the terminal and superuser till after gingerbreak was successful. I know it's a crap answer, but I recommend not doing the apk installs till after the exploit is correct.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cmaclean:
Success!

Found that using a blank formatted SD card helps the process.

Killed the services and the phone feels that much lighter.

Looking forward to a sys root to Delete apps but for now this is quite good.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sharpen3d:
The next step is finding out if it's possible to toggle S-OFF so that the NAND is no longer in lockdown. I'm wondering if, now that root is available, other tools might be used to achieve this. Meaning, existing exploits. I broke my phone last time and had to reset, so I'll be approaching step two lightly.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sharpen3d:
Well, no small wonder here: the new update for the SH-03C completely breaks the root. I understand it wasn't a huge change to begin with, but I was getting comfortable using some rooted apps. Don't get me wrong, I think the youtube 3d is nifty and the AreaMail is actually *really* nice, but for the most part I wish I could still use Button Savior.

I'm pretty sure 95% of the userbase has jumped ship onto another phone at this point, but I still plan to update if I get any new information on re-rooting this phone. Cheers!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SharpIS03:
Hi guys, nice little thread you have here. Looks like we're all in the same boat with our Sharp devices...think you can guess which device I have ;)

I have my own thread for the IS03 which pretty much details the different temporary root methods available or attempted so far.

Here's to hoping a breakthrough can be made!

---------- Post added at 01:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:45 AM ----------

From some sources that I follow, the newer Basebands certainly take out the current temporary rooting method. For my IS03, baseband 01.01.06 and higher take out the root. The IS03 is supposed to get an update soon, I'm still on baseband 01.01.05 and I'm going to try to avoid the update for now.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sharpen3d:
Interesting.....our latest update bumps us to a solid 02.01.00, which very well may be coming to the IS03 soon enough. I'm sincerely hoping for another update on one of the various Japanese blogs (hykoshi is where I first learned the current root method). Goro-kun started working on another phone last I heard, but I'm keeping an eye on the IS03 thread now as well to see if we can cannibalize any breakthroughs there for our devices. Cheers mate!
