[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheeseus:
I managed to root again. The instructions - as provided, and as posted on my website - do not work for me. This is because the first part, where we push the various files to /data/local or /data/local/bin just won't work on my phone --- although ADB reports that the files were pushed normally.

To overcome this, I put the files on the microSD, then install SHBreak_1.7, get temp root, install Terminal Emulator, and via it copy the files to /data/local (I didn't bother create a /bin/ folder, just put everything in /data/local). Then I run SHBreak4, it does the thing it does. Then I proceed with the instructions - to flash to recovery, again from the phone, via Terminal Emulator (can't get # SU via ADB).

Then reboot to recovery, then copy the SU file to /system/bin. The flash to boot...

As I am selling the phone, I will need to reset it to factory defaults if someone buys it. I hope it won't go into a boot loop again. But even if it does, I should be able to flash the backup image(s) back to the phone, and save the day...

Please, download that package for me (from the original site) and email it to me. I have tried so many times now, it just won't open from here (Bulgaria, the other side of the world). Maybe the reason why I've had to do things differently is because I'm not using the original package?

And get better soon!

--------------------------------------------

EDIT: There is this text in the Readme, and I'll appreciate some help making full sense of it:

・build 01.01.02以前のSH-12CへこのカスタムROMを導入すると無線LANがエラーで利用不能になるようです。

ソースファイルを追った所、SYSTEMパーティションにある古いファイルとの齟齬が原因と思われますが、

手元に01.01.02のSYSTEMが無い為、再現が出来ず該当ファイルの特定には至っていません。

Here is my translation (with the help of Google Translate) of the first line, but I'm not absolutely sure it's correct:

After installing this custom ROM, wireless LAN may be unavailable and throw an error message for builds earlier than 01.01.02.

Does it say "earlier than 01.01.02"? Or is 01.01.02 included?

The phone I've rooted has 01.01.03. But my brother's SH-12C, which I will be try to root soon, has 01.01.02 I think. And I'd like to know if his version is at risk of losing wi-fi connectivity...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Again, sorry for the delay!

Try downloading the package from my dropbox here:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/gwhxsvdcmmkcczr/sh12c_boot_rescue0910.zip

If you still can't download it I'll email you!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheeseus:
Got it, thank you! This package contains more files than the one I got - it looks like someone has removed "unimportant" bits from it and put it on Mediafire (if I remember correctly). Well, the essential files are the same, which is good.

Meanwhile, I have been struggling with the English translation of the Readme.txt file. Do you feel like helping complete it? It contains a lot more info, and important info, than the general instructions. Here's the link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/fzomulcvx5ioo39/readme_EN.txt

Where I am sure I've got the meaning correctly, I've deleted the Japanese text. Where I'm in doubt, the English translation is next to or above the Japanese text, and some bits haven't been translated at all because I can't make any sense of the Google Translate output.

When this translation is ready, I will upload it to my website - the complete root package - for people to use it :)

Sorry..i have a sh-12c locked pattern...plz help me find out the way to unlock...google mail account didnot help
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheeseus:
I don't know a way to recover the unlock code/pattern. Never use lock codes/patters that you aren't absolutely sure you remember!

You can try rebooting the phone in Safe Mode. Maybe from there you can reset to factory settings. To boot into Safe Mode: Shut down the phone. Wait for 20 seconds. Press and hold the MENU button. Without releasing the MENU button, press POWER. Do not release the MENU button until the phone has booted completely. You will see "Safe Mode" in the lower left corner.

Rooting software version 01.01.02

Just rooted my brother's SH-12C, which runs 01.01.02. As the rootikit warns, for software version under 01.01.02, wi-fi may stop working. Indeed, it won't start - returns an error.

The solution is to complete the rooting procedure, i.e. the flash boot_rescue0910.img to the boot partition, do whatever you want to do --- in my case, install Link2SD, TitaniumBackup, and AutoStarts, then integrate all updates to /system/app, backup and uninstall (or freeze) the unwanted built-in apps, and finally, disable a bunch of start-up bloatware items --- then flash the original (backed up) boot.img and only have root access in recovery mode.

If anyone has an idea how to solve this issue --- get wi-fi to work when rooted --- please share your ideas.

P.S. The complete rooting procedure instructions are now available on my website, plus all required files. Using SHBreak v.4 is not mandatory. The initial temp rooting can be done using SHbreak 1.7 / 1.8 + ISTweak too, which are much lighter.

bootloader

thanks so much !

We can't enter to bootloader mode

also can't do anything with recovery

What can we do if Sh12c got brick?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terry11xx:
Could somebody help me !!

I've read cheeseus post about how to restore from boot loop. I tried using his method but it didn't work. My sh12c cannot boot into recovery.

I've bricked my phone when I tried to root it by SHBreak and do a factory reset, after that it won't boot anymore. It stuck in a docomo screen, and not even passing to the AQUOS screen.

Could somebody help me.

(I did not backup my phone before it's bricked and the firmware link in "http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1332375" isn't working. Could somebody please upload it again?)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheeseus:
The resurrection method I've described ONLY works if you've rooted the phone using the rooting method described in the same article.

SHBreak only gives you temporary root so it's strange that you're stuck in a boot loop. You have probably disabled or uninstalled some system apps - and this ALWAYS leads to a boot loop if you perform a factory reset. I am sure that other people beside me have warned of this - I sure have in the relevant article on my website.

I'm afraid your only option now is to send the phone to Docomo in Japan.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terry11xx:
Thank you for your reply.

sorry to hear that, I got this phone about a year ago, I've used SHBreak when this tool was just created, and anyone didn't know it'll cause a boot loop.

I tried bringing it back to docomo shops in Japan, but they kept asking me a contact I don't have

(Being a traveler, I can't buy a phone in Japan, so I bought it in a second hand shop.)

According to the shop's policy they cannot restore it for me.

I'm also interested in whether or not anyone has achieved root yet.

I can't even find a USB driver for it, so I can't get fastboot to recognise it!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juzz86:
Thankyou so much!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juzz86:
Okay, so with the help of xerxesnet and the USB drivers last night, I had a bit of a fiddle around and this is what I found out. I'm sure it's nothing we don't already know. I used a WIndows 7 x64 machine, by the way:

1. Not sure if this is just limited to me or not, but I could only get USB debugging to enable under MTP mode. Sending adb and fastboot commands in other modes would have no effect, as the device can't be found.

2. adb works, and I could access the recovery easily enough. There are no menu items in the recovery, though. I tried tapping all over the screen, all the hardware buttons and quite a few different combinations, but couldn't make any options of any type appear.

3. I couldn't adb or fastboot reboot into the bootloader. It just boots straight into the OS every time. It seems strange that there would be zero access at all.

4. Obviously, fastboot oem unlock didn't work. However, I got an infinite 'waiting for device' loop rather than an error. All drivers were properly installed, so not sure whether the oem unlock command may actually work or not.

I'll have a crack at SuperOneClick tonight, with both psneuter and GingerBreak exploits. I'll also see if I can make any headway with pushing the oem unlock command. It'd be nice if that was all that was standing in the way of removing the NAND lock, although I'm not too hopeful.

I'll have a bit more of a poke around adb and fastboot also, try some of the other commands and see what I turn up. I'll report back in the morning.

Cheers!

It is not mentioned that it uses gorilla glass or the new dragontrail glass. The phone is great but sth menu and the battery sucks. I hope, we manage to root it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juzz86:
Okay, so just a bit of an update here:

I attemped a few other adb commands and they were all able to function. Seeing this, I attempted to push GingerBreak apk and run it, without success.

I removed the microSD, stuck the apk on, rebooted and used 'content manager' to install GingerBreak. After it was installed, I ran it and attempted root, which resulted in an endless process.

I'm certain that the NAND lock is in the way. I've scoured HoFo and others trying to source some information. I discovered that pushing stuff to /data, and then to /system was a supposed exploit, but it didn't work for me.

I'm not an expert by any means, if someone else wants to have a crack at this please go for it and post your experiences here.

Let's do what we can to bust this puppy open!

EDIT: I also PMed goroh_kun to see whether he could assist us. With his permission, if I hear anything back at all I shall pass it on here. We aren't going to get a forum, but if we can make this thread comprehensive enough I'll request it to be sticked for easy future reference. This is far too good a phone to go without the 'special treatment' ;)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juzz86:
Another quick update, this from the seller I ordered the phone from:

Justin !

Im glad you are enjoying it ^_^

Yes you can do a reset on the phone without it relocking

I believe you can reset it from inside the settings

As for a hard reset, such as maybe actually removing the OS and replacing it with other Software, I am not sure. But the Reset that is built into the phone you can use it and it will not relock the phone

Rooting, Not sure yet. I have a friend who is working on finding a way to do it

Sounds promising! I will keep you updated :cool:

wow you're very brave bro thats what I am worried is when things goes wrong it'll be hard to return to the stock ROM and making it unlock again. I do hope good news is on the way for us Sharp users =)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juzz86:
I've got a couple of other possible leads. I'll update if anything turns out to be fruitful :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juzz86:
I have tried this. It didn't work for me. The rootkit will give you a temporary 'shell root' if it works at all. We need to bypass the NAND lock before we can get perma-root.

If you can get it to work, some apps that need root access will work. We won't be able to remove the junk, however, until we get something that can actually write to /system.

Good find though, give it a go and see if it gives you a Temp-root. It'd be a good start! :D

ok iv found a way to root the sh-10b is this any help? (let me no if im posting info that is already well known im new to androids spent most of my flashing/modding time with ios,xbox etc)

How to root IS01 or SH-10B

check BaseBand version, ( Setting->System->Device Information ), if your baseband is 01.00.07 or 01.00.09, follow the below instructions, if not, use tools from marijuana(see below).

1. Download z4root from google market, install it and run it. Your IS01 may go panic, if so, use the reset button on the back or remove the battery for a while, then restart your phone.

2. download and install Superuser.

3. Download is01root tool from mobilehackerz, (to save you from reading japanese, you may just click link here: is01root_002.apk), and install it.

4. run is01root, click the first option (Step1:rootxxxxx... xxx stands for Japanese) on the software. It will pop up a warning box, click the left button to agree to go on. then wait for a minute, another box with "suxxxx/sqlite_journals/is01root/xxxxx" come up, again, click the left button. Then, an error message pop up, just click the "Force close" button to close the software.

5. run is01root again, click "Step2:su xxxxx", then the left button, then ok button, the is01root quit again.

6. reboot you is01.

7. run is01root for the third time, click "Step3:path xxx", then, superuser will pop up, asking you for permission, allow it, is01root will quit again.

You phone is rooted! Every time you want to use root permission, you will need to run is01root first, and click the "step3:path xx" button once!

The other way, root IS01 with tools from marijuana

with this method, you don't need to run the is01rooter every time you want to get root permission:

Download root tools for your baseband version from:

marijuana .ddo.jp/is01/index.php?moddir=downloads

and follow the japanese instruction come with the tool. (Read this English introduce by a Japanese to get more details.)

How to write system partition

If you want to make any change to system partition, you need to mount the partition writable. It can be done easily by running /sqlite_journals/is01root/sysremount_atmyownrisk.sh script if you root your IS01 with is01root, or /sqlite_journals/root/tools/sysremount.sh if you use tools from marijuana to root you phone. After that, there will be a /system.rw folder, which is a writable /system partition. NOTE: making change to /system may damage your phone, so be carefully.

I'm guessing it must be accessing some file on the net which says which base version the update needs. If we know the web address and the contents of the file, we could probably redirect the access to our own file which fakes the version so we can update without first going to 1.0.6.

You could try double-checking the SMS gateway with your provider, however since it only doesn't work sometimes I doubt that is the problem.
