I gave up on my SH-12C after Docomo couldn't get the SIM unlock working (and booting was taking 10 mins) and bought a F-05D instead. Rooting it was a cinch, getting busybox installed was not. But it's all working and good now. The SH-12C is in for repairs right now as they're trying to figure out why the SIM unlock didn't take. When I get it back, I'll try to root it as I miss the kanji recognizing camera app and want to try copying that over to the F-05D.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheeseus:
After the August 25, 2011 update (to 1.01.04 if I'm not mistaken) only one more firmware update was released - on October 31st, the DoCoMo site does not show the new firmware version. The update does not fix any significant issues though - something about a new page in the browser not displaying properly and about bluetooth problems when the device is locked.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flinx1:
I actually suspect that we have been left to rot, pretty much. With the single core nature of the CPU, it's quite possible that we may not get ICS after all, considering the current generation of Sharp phones available. This mentions the high-end model thing for the SH-01D for instance, but not the SH-12:

Hello guys.

I don't know if what i've found is a method to make a permanent root over our sh-12c phones, check this out:

www45.atwiki.jp/aquosphonesh12c/pages/28.html

It's in japanesse^^u so i'd translate it using google translator and it seems to be a method to install superuser program using temp-root tools... but I dont understand enough to guess how to do that.

Can't perform update from 1.00.04

Tried to update the SH-12C I got for a friend yesterday. It's running 1.00.04, which has problems with AUTO mode (loses signal when out of coverage, can't regain, need to reboot).

I think the reason I failed is because I couldn't set up the webserver properly.

I have Wampserver which I use every day for my other web-dev projects, so first I tried placing the "firm_update" folder in its WWW directory. It is accessible from the phone when using Wi-Fi but when I try that address to test if it's working, I only get 0.00.00 as FW version, which means it's unsuccessful.

Then installed Apache separately. When I start it, I get two out of three services running. If I launch my Wampserver, it won't start (hangs in the orange icon state) - this means the two programs are in conflict.

Until my friend brings me the phone again to try, has anyone managed to perfrom the update using Wampserver and not Apache? I'd hate to have to remove Wampserver (with all my projects).

Meanwhile, I spotted this post in a Vietnamese forum discussing Root Access for the 003SH / 005SH / 007SH:

I didn't see how Docomo put the code in, but it looked like just the phone pad. I think you need to have a Docomo SIM inserted to do it, but I'm not sure. Anyways, they were careless and wrote the code on my paper as a note.

Just a followup on my earlier post - the SH-12C does indeed seem to be dead in the water as far as ICS goes:

http://av.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/20120326_521602.html

That's a list of phones and tablets in July, and it's not on it. It's also not listed under the other devices that they're looking into upgrading to ICS at the bottom. If you want ICS, it's time to look into getting custom roms working.

-

Back to SIM unlocking for a minute - I got mine unlocked, but it doesn't work with my Norwegian SIM. Now it's possible that it's just the SIM that's old, can someone confirm working non-Japanese SIMs with an official Docomo unlock? If I try to connect to Docomo or Softbank the phone claims the SIM doesn't allow me to do so. I also have a "SIM card not inserted" error in the status, even though I had to enter the SIM pin to start the phone up so it's obviously working.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaijin1%:
Earlier on this thread someone wrote about Sharp phones relocking themselves if you don't uses a Docomo SIM to connect to the 3G network and open the browser after unlocking.

This was my experience. When I got the phone on the internet it was unlocked for the first few hours and then locked itself. Hense I went to the Docomo shop and unlocked it again following those steps (and getting the unlock code). No problem after that.

BTW, I am sitting on a FULL root method right now that another person told me was successful. I'm waiting for my phone to get back from being fixed so I can try it. If it works I'll post it and we can start making custom ROMs with ICS ourselves.

SIM unlock and Hard reset

2 things: SIM unlock and Start in Safe Mode

Sim unlock:

I believe you may need a Docomo SIM to do this, but it doesn't hurt to try with a non Docomo SIM. (please post results)

Open your phone dialpad and enter *#*#4669#*#* to get into the unlock menu.

The unlock code is 5e589dBXYfDGef9ba3dZBDE6

Safe Mode:

With the power off (not reboot), press and hold the menu,back and power button at the same time until fully booted. You should see a box in the left bottom corner saying "Safe Mode".

I used to have this problem too. First try starting without the microSD card, and if that doesn't help, I'd say it's time to do a hard reset and wipe the phone. The Docomo shop did that with mine, and after that it booted in less than a minute, unlike the 10 mins (I'm not kidding) it took before.

Can't update

Guys, I've been struggling for a couple of hours now trying to update a friend's SH-12C.

I do everything as per instructions, the update is discovered, I switch to Fast File Transfer, phone boots into Update Mode, then run the remaining steps of the process on the PC tool, but I only get the red font notice that the USB is not connected (or whatever it says exactly).

I even tried it with the phone set to Japanese language, with and without the SIM card in.

What am I doing wrong? Please help, because it's very annoying that the phone can't work in AUTO (3G/GSM) mode when running 1.00.04.

And, by the way, the PC tool shows that the phone will be updated to 1.01.03!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheeseus:
Guys, some help here please!

I realized I hadn't installed the SH-12C driver. So I did install it, and I got past that screen for start of update. However, after sitting on the update screen for about 10 seconds, I get the following screen (see attachment).

What does this mean?

EDIT: Ohhhh... the phone got stuck in the update mode and can't boot normally... The hard reset combination doesn't work either.

When I restart the PC update tool, the update process seems to start (I get to the screen with the progress bar) but after 10 seconds I see the attached screenshot. When I pull out the USB cable, I get "Failed to update. Press power button and the phone will work again" but it doesn't, just restarts in this update mode.

EDIT 2: SUCCESS!

Apparently, it was a driver problem: I installed the driver and the PC Update Tool on my PC (worked on the laptop before), ran the update and it started and completed successfully! Running version 1.01.03 now!

I noticed that when I plugged the phone (in update mode) on the laptop, Windows (7 x64) began installing the SH-12C driver (again?) and showed a success dialog where there were THREE list items with a tick next to them (can't remember what they were).

When I plugged the phone on my PC, the same success dialog contained TWO ticked options. This is the only difference so, other than that, I have no idea what was wrong then but is OK now.

Anyway, I guess this means that you can use the same procedure - trick the phone using a fake DNS server, then run the PC update tool - to get from v. 1.01.02 to v. 1.01.03.
