Not a fat chance :)

Of course, and I keep checking the status sometimes twice or three times a day. And here's a tip. Don't send your package using EMS, send it using "small parcels" + "trackable" instead. Of course, this is only if you are looking for a cheaper option. When I'm sending from Bulgaria to Japan, the difference is $23 vs. $10, and from Japan to Bulgaria, it's $30 vs. $12-$15. EMS takes 4-7 days, "small parcels" takes 5-10 days.

i think i just sent it without tracking to kyoex. >.<. i think i'll take back my word on not buying keitai. If i buy, definitely not sharp anymore. not "international user" friendly. Toshiba and fujitsu doesn't need to update to latest version to update etc etc etc. and very fast responsive UI compared
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheeseus:
Well, if the price difference is worth the increased risk... It's your call but I wouldn't send anything valuable without tracking.

Are you sure about the Toshiba/Fujitsu? A couple of days ago I checked the Docomo website, and while the major update for the T-01D was not released yet, it clearly stated fro minor updates that you cannot update if roaming and if not on Docomo.

Hi all,

I have not been in here for a while as I am now SOOO happy with my ICS SH01d

Guys don't get focused on the memory availability. Linux is "supposed" to make use of all available memory, If memory isn't in use then it is just going to waist.

This isn't link DOS. The OS should make full use of memory at all times. That is why it says it uses more but actually it is just managing the resource properly.

Anyway, totally happy!

the 102sh

I see some of you here are carrying around the 102sh instead of the SH-01D, or some of you even have both. I've been browsing these forums again and again to see if anyone's had success using their 102sh outside of Japan on a NON-softbank carrier, or if anyone's managed to root their 102sh.

I've got the Aquos 102sh updated to ICS (I was in Japan when the update came out), but now I'm back in the states looking for anyone who can point me in the right direction for either Unlocking, Rooting, or a functional Hypersim.

please please please help me turn my 800$ piece of plastic into a phone again!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheeseus:
Well, this hypersim works just fine on my 005SH: http://www.ipmart.com/main/product/Universal,Unlock,Card,Yellow,145293.php?prod=145293 And it is also very cheap, so I think you should try it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marktk:
Thanks for the link, man. I'll be looking into it. My only curiosity now is whether that's a full size hypersim, or if that will fit into a Micro SIM slot? the 102sh has a slot for a Micro SIM (マイクロSIM) so I'm a bit worried about size compatibility. Does your 005SH also have a Micro SIM slot?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheeseus:
Oh, bugger... I completely forgot that the 102SH and the SH-01D use microSIMs...

No, this link I gave you won't do, it's for a normal-size SIM.

I have personally seen a microSIM-sized hypersim but it is for an iPhone. I have no idea if such small hypersims exist for microSIM keitai. I just did a brief search and found nothing, sorry.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trution:
wow. your 102sh is $800?? my sh-01d also was supose to be $600 now reaching $800+ due to the root, nullify my warranty during repair. grrrr most expensive phone i've ever had in my life. The Temp root in this forum will not disappear after reboot. Because of this temp root, my phone got nullified of its warranty.

Don't use the stock sharp media player. Try other media players available on market.

I am using PowerAMP and it works great.

Try not to use class 10 or faster micro SD card. Use class 2/4 SD card.

Also it's better not to use the Docomo Palette UI and remove the sheep on screen.

You may see a gain in performance.

Not related to rooting but I was wondering why the messaging app only lets me input 160 characters, what do i do so it allows me to write long text messages?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryu Kenshin:
160 characters is limit for 7-bit Unicode SMS, it's the rule to reserve bandwidth of mobile network in it's early state, and become a standard nowaday. That's why Japanese people used to use Email because email don't have this limit. Like many Asian language users, Japanese have to use more than 160 chars to explain their feelings or their thoughts.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kag8:
Damn we really need root... Fix the text message limit, overclocking CPU slightly to T-01d speeds, and most importantly get rid of bloatware

Is it true that getting a custom rom will never be a possibility? Really wish MIUI v4 was stock android
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryu Kenshin:
Root is the first step to exploit recovery image, OC and remove bloatware, most important is to fake market zone, cuz SH-01D don't play with almost all Western games. For custom rom we need bootloader unlock, impossible with Japanese phone. (TT-TT)

Okay I have figured it out.

My Japanese is still too weak to understand stuff well~:D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2kbugleung:
First Step: Create a "hook"

Download shdisp_onloadhook.zip and follow these commands

These pushes the hook into the phone system

adb push onload.sh /data/local/
adb push libsdservice_jni.so /data/local/
adb push shdisphook /data/local/
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/onload.sh
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/shdisphook
adb reboot
adb wait-for-device shell /data/local/shdisphook

Second Step: Create a script to get /cache 777 permission

$ echo 'chmod 777 /cache' > /data/local/oncmd.sh
$ echo 'chmod 666 /cache/recovery' >> /data/local/oncmd.sh
$ chmod 755 /data/local/oncmd.sh

Afterward, go to phone "settings" -> "sd" -> "unmount sd"

When this dialog is shown, the /cache is set to 777.

Simply press "cancel" afterward

I am still trying to make this work:

adb wait-for-device shell /data/local/shdisphook

Thanks all, but...it's not working. Don't know what rom they used for this unlocked software. :crying:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheeseus:
Japanese Sharp phones use only one ROM. It is not possible to flash any other ROM, or even make any changes to the original ROM.

Unlocking the SH-01D and other Docomo Androids is officially done in Japan in a Docomo shop. If your seller told you anything different, they lied to you.

If the hard reset combination did not work, your ONLY other option is to send the phone to Japan -- and you'd better have the guarantee papers. Otherwise, it's just a paperweight.

Chinese root

There's this free method for unlocking the SoftBank 102SH / 104SH, made by some Chinese guy. Inside the package, there's a ZIP archive with scripts called "SH-01D_root" - apparently used to obtain root on the 102SH/104SH in order to unlock them.

Inside this ZIP, there are two BAT files. I have tried to translate the Chinese text inside them using Google Translate but I can't make sense of everything. So, if anyone here knows some Chinese and is willing to help, below are the strings.

After completing the translation, I suppose we can give this method a go. I am not sure if this has already been shared/tested.

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

* From c1.bat:

如果绿色窗口还在，请CTRL+C关闭窗口 = If the green window is still there, press CTRL+C

如果/data的版本是drwxrwxrwx的话 = ????

请CTRL+C中断重新开始 = Please press CTRL+C to interrupt rebooting

正在重启 = Rebooting

等待手机完全开机后，按Enter键继续 = Wait for the phone to complete rebooting, then press the Enter key to continue

开机后初始设定画面 选择取消“キャンセル” = The initial settings screen after boot to cancel

Unlock后，再一次重启完成后，root成功 = Unlock again after rebooting is complete, root successful

* From root壔.bat:

现在开始sh-01d root = Now starting sh-01d root

手机开启usbdebug，不要选择省电模式，然后接上电脑 = Enable USB debugging on the phone, do not turn on power-saving mode, then connect the phone to the computer

a 请准备adb的使用环境 = a Please refrain from using ADB environment (* Not sure about the letter "a", it's just there)

请把wifi关闭,回到桌面 = Please turn off Wi-Fi, then return to the Home screen

Yeah, sorry for failing to spot that. Actually, my phone has 2.00.04 but I am a bit reluctant to try this method, having read about one or two people bricking their phones.

If you have full root, will you still be able to update the phone to a higher software version (I realize the chances of the SH-01D getting Jelly Bean are very very slim)?

I have actually disabled almost all of the Docomo cr*p (except OneSeg and a couple of others) so I think I'm OK even without (full) root.

New rootkit and SUCCESS!

Here is a link (on my website) to this Japanese rootkit I discovered last week. I have translated all the menus in English: http://sharp.cheeseus.org/index.php?page=Applications&id=58

It doesn't do the trick for me. It fails to do some of the steps - and in the end my phone is half-rooted - I have RW access to the main directory but not to /system. I have tried this rootkit after resetting my phone to factory defaults.

Interestingly, the commands it fails to execute when working from the BAT files, I am able to execute manually - after manually changing permissions for /data and creating the inner folders.

I will keep experimenting, anyway.

EDIT: SUCCESS!

The commands in the BAT files and the getroot.sh file need some editing. I executed all commands manually, making some changes until I get things right.

In the end, I have RW access to /system which is gone after reboot but can be re-acquired from the Terminal Emulator on the phone.

The download package including full instructions is available on my website - see link above.

So it seems it just a temporary root? I wonder, does the unlock also work? Is it possible to achieve s-off and use a different SIM card with the phone by unlocking via the root kit?

Answer:

It seems not, unlock is disabling Sharps version of LSM named Miyabi to unlock the NAND. So I guess it doesn't help with unlock the SIM :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheeseus:
Maybe it doesn't remove the SIM lock. But the root works just fine, it's permanent. Only thing is, as I've described it in my instructions, you need to run three commands from the terminal emulator on your phone to mount /system as RW --- takes me 10 seconds, I memorised the commands.

And I have been enjoying the benefits of full root. For instance, using Link2SD, I merged a number of updated apps with the factory version in /system/app to save onboard storage, e.g. Gmail, Google Maps, Adobe Flash, Google Play, Google Calendar, the Sharp Market application (3SH) --- thus getting nearly 100 MB extra free space.

Also discovered another way to hack the Font Manager and add more custom fonts to it. I will describe it in a new post on my website later today.

Now, regarding the SIM lock --- there's something you can try but I can't guarantee results --- or lack of problems!

First root the SH-01D using the method I describe. Then download the 102SH root and SIM unlock package from my website. Read the instructions. There's this file ("sharp_ste") that gets pushed to the phone after rooting is completed. This is the file that lifts the SIM lock from the 102SH / 104SH.

It

might

also work for the SH-01D --- I have seen posts on Japanese websites that discuss the SIM lock and they push this same file to several different models to remove it.
