Those of you who are trying to root the NEC Terrain, I've slapped together an ADB driver from the NEC NE-103T to help you out. Basically, I just modified the INF file. Really, we're supposed to use driver version number NA002 with the Terrain but I could only find NA001. It works though and you can get ADB shell etc. Despite the ADB access, I was unsuccessful at rooting the NEC Terrain with SuperOneClick and Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry etc. Hopefully, posting these drivers here will help someone else in cyberspace develop a feasible root method.

Here's what the zip file contains:

Obviously the modified ADB driver for NEC Terrain use

Not sure if this is correct but I also applied the ADB driver to the CDC Serial Driver and Windows didn't have a problem.

Here's what I need:

Root Method

Default Recovery Password - NEC password protected recovery mode. :-/

(Sigh), they weren't kidding when they said this phone was secure! I know this is not going to be a popular phone but dang it, I love blackberry keyboard-style Android phones and I really need a decent rooted phone to replace my aging Motorola Pro/Pro+.

tl;dr - I'm providing the missing drivers for the NEC Terrain. Someone please find a way to root it cause I've tried everything! Also, I'm looking for the default password to use Android Recovery 3e.

Hello, Is there anyway we can have help from other people to root this device?

I have tried with SuperOneclick also and with UnlockRoot and it didn't work.

Let me know. I am willing to do anything to make this work except of course stupid stuff.

Thanks Danik

Good news:

I found an exploit over here that gains a root shell (binary attached).

Bad news:

Unfortunately, even from there, running "mount -o remount,rw /system" fails.

Similarly, since /data is marked nosuid, you can't use any su command you install in there.

So...

I am able to remount / as rw and then drop an su command in /sbin. I also set up busybox in /data/local/tmp/xbin and mounted it over /system/xbin and included a link to /sbin/su in there. Of course, that gets overwritten on reboot but it's simple enough to do all this in a script and seems to be enough to get SuperSU and TiBu to run.

The next step is to figure out how to patch boot.img to disable ro.secure, etc. Extracting it should be easy now that we have root. We just need to find the right partition. There seem to be plenty of tools around for working with these images. Then we need someone brave enough to flash it back and try it.

Good news

This is good news...

One problem now, is that there is A LOT of partitions (+30).. It will take some time to get through them...

But it's a step in the right direction... great work...

Look at 9 and 11.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MrMEEE:
You are right.. There are some boot stuff (kernel and init's) on parts 9 and 11..

I have changed the ro.secure in the inits.. but I'm not able to reflash the two partitions..

I don't get any errors from dd, but got the following messages in dmesg:

<<mmc_write emmc lock write error 0x00097800 : 11

Besides from that, a lot of I/O errors.. so seems like the phone is EMMC locked as well.. :(

hey folks, I managed to get an unlocked terrain. No joke, really unlocked! I just got it from ebay and I am using it on the Telus network in Canada. If it helps your effort to unlock it, let me know if there is any files or even the rom from this phone that you want to see. I just need instructions. On the side note, IMO, the phone is actually quite decent despite that it's running on slower CPU. It's more than capable of running all the most common apps on the market. My only problem is that the "system storage" only has 787M, while the "phone storage" has 4.34G. I can't install apps directly to the phone storage and that 787M is not enough for my use. It would be nice if I can re-partiion all the space and allocate all 4.5G to system.

Please let me know what I can do to help. Would love to see this phone root as well.

Cheers:cool:

Hey folks, so as I said in my previous post, my Terrain is unlocked, so I am just poking around and see if I can gain root to it. Looks like the ROM that my phone is using is the new one from NEC and maybe that's why it's already unlocked. Anyway, I need some help trying to root it. Looks like it's pretty lock down, I can't even access /data/local to put that run_root_shell in it, and so I put it to /sdcard but no good there neither, it won't let me run there.

Forgive me for this slight OT-posting, but it's not that easy to find people with this device - let alone an unlocked one. I'm located in Germany and the device works just fine - except for the fact that neither WIFI tethering works nor syncing with Gmail App (although sync works once I connect to a WIFI Hotspot).

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] joecereal:
So yesterday when AT&T announced 50% off of smartphones I was pretty dumbfounded since I got a brand new S4 the day before. But the day I got it I rooted it and did all the other stuff. I will return my S4 for a new one but it's impossible for me to unroot. Everything I've done doesn't seem to work. I used Odin but it stops at the "Get PIT for mapping" stage. I tried deleting SuperSU but that didn't work. It made things worse because it said I'm not rooted but I still am. Now I can't even go to recovery. And I can't even connect to Kies. Can anyone help me unroot my device or help me be able to return my device when it's rooted?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] fast96:
I would think the tools section of Kies will have an option that will work. Connection trouble shoot first then emergency recovery. If your phone boots, you should be able to reset it to out of the box state.

If it's still rooted, try triangle away app.

If you go to settings, more, about device, build number, then tap on build number repeatedly it will restore developer options, if it's not shown now. From there you can enable or disable USB debugging. That might help with Odin. Wish I had more answers for ya.

Also try settings, accounts, backup and reset, factory data reset.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] joecereal:
Thank you for your answer. I will try it out now. Little more information is that I'm using the Pacman ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] fast96:
Do you know how to enter the download mode? If so then odin should recognize it. I think it's "hold the power button, down volume, and home button" till it instructs you to let got and hit the up volume button. The connect it to the pc for odin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] joecereal:
Yes I'm trying the Odin process. It's working so far except it stops at "Get PIT for mapping..." which is here i.imgur.com/z8fnjRd (add png to the end)

Kies is not recognizing my device after troubleshoot. It is stuck at "Connecting..." which prevents me from emergency firmware recovery.

There are two options that will help me the most:

Connecting to Kies and getting a PIT file for Odin
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] fast96:
Is your phone a US AT&T model I337? There is a stock recovery rom in this forum somewhere, it's a zip file when extracted it will have a tar.MD5 file for use with odin. Or maybe you should use the PDA selection in odin, and uncheck the reboot box.

I think is better do this replace in warranty or from someone that is able to do this :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biohaz55:
From what others have said the top grill is screwed in place from the inside so replacement will require a full teardown of the phone.

It's a job for a repair centre I guess which no doubt will cost large amounts of cash.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllAboutTheCore:
True that, seems technological advancements cost us more and more as they come about. Not only do we pay more for newer, better devices but the way they are made makes them cheaper to replace than repair ... I remember the day when you bought a TV for example and it would last you 20 years with no problems, now you're lucky to get a year or two out of new 1's. I think it's just a conspiracy to make us shell out more and more for stuff, but I'm very cynical lol
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nalbagli:

Thanks for your reply!!

Yea, I've already got an extra OEM Samsung battery and external battery charger. I've used Anker for years now, with my Evo 3D and OG Evo 4G. I think I'm gonna go ahead and get an Anker battery for my Note 2. Read your review, and all the posts of people saying they've had problems with their Anker battery. Like I said though, I've used Anker for years and still have my Evo 3D and about 6 Anker batteries that still outperform the stock HTC battery in the 3D after almost 2 years of use . I trust Anker and I'm gonna go ahead and give them a shot in this phone as well! Just gotta shop for the best price on them, then it's time to order! :D

Is it possible to port photosphere app for CM? (If it works properly)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ekimkam:
For the few days that I use on the release version(a few RC and nightly version too) and it is also my opinion on our P880

Photo sphere..r u meaning that you can take photo like a sphere? As I know stock CM10.1 does not have it(let me know if it does)......it still provide Panoramic (360 degree) photo... But I will flash and use the stock 4.1 photo apps instead, because only the stock one can make HDR really works and I feel that the picture quality is better.

Google Now....It works.

other functions...

MHL

As I previously said.. if you need MHL output.... sorry CM10.1 is never your choice.. coz' they officially said they won't improve the vertical problem while Nvidia didn't provide api for it.

Force 4x MSAA..

I have read some post said Tegra 3 chip does not support it .... so it won't work too

Gallery link to Google+ or Picasa (let me know if I am wrong too)

As I remember the stock 4.1.1 gallery can link to them, but it will not show it on CM10.1's gallery

No Stock Chinese IME (I am a chinese, maybe it is not a problem for most of you guys)

Well I can understand this, because it is the same as Nexus 4....but you can install an apps for it.

Except you need MHL.. it is really a great ROM...better control, UI and better response than the stock. I have never use benchmark to test any device while the actual feeling is mean more than this. Also, as we all know, the more apps we install the less performance it has.

For your reference (from Stock to CM10.1)

Battery life.... I can tell, it is almost the same. At the very 1st time I truly wipe off all my apps and use CM10.1... CM make a real difference.. but once I have all the stupid apps running now.. it is just the same.

Smoothness... Honestly it did improve!!! Even I have 100 or more apps installed...I still feel it has a lot better response than the stock.

Heat problem... Improve a little bit, but still the system go wrong (slower or restart) in poor condition(ie. hot weather)

For myself CM10.1 release works perfect except MHL for this phone. 4x HD has some hardware issue, but it is still a great phone for its price tag in HK.

Hope it helps and Thanks,

Mike
