[Sharp Aquos Crystal] ryu_gian:
am currently staying in the Caribbean and don't have sprint service, so no customer support for me. i have managed to get MSL from other device without ease. but this one is literally frying my brains. if i can get a link where it can help on how else to get it, then i can try voice text and DATA on the Sharp Crystal looks like a really great phone to have.

thanks
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] hosakerehalliabhinav:
try this for msl

The easiest way to get MSL :

1. Get Terminal Emulator from the market, install and open it

2. Type :

su "Hit Enter"

getprop ril.MSL "Hit Enter" ( command case sensitive )

Six-digit number is your MSL

Hope this helps.

Tried this method, doesn't work (su not found) (non rooted). tried logcat and all msl readers i can get my hands on. no luck

Sharp 402SH with GSM and CDMA ?

Based on several posts such as this one

in December, Sharp may be releasing a 5.5" Aquos Crystal with higher resolution, better camera, Android 4.4.4

and ability to run on GSM and CDMA networks.

I mention this now ONLY because it may have some bearing on when and if Sharp will release the source code

contained in 305SH GSM and 306SH CDMA phones.

[Sharp Aquos Crystal] UltimaXtreme:
Bootloader hopes.

So you say the possibility of the bootloader being unlocked is based on the Crystal X being released? This is to mean that we need to rely on the higher-end model to achieve the cheaper models? I would assume their 'flagship' would be more reason to not release the bootloader, lest people just buy the $150 one and with a few tweaks, don't need to worry if they break it compared to the flagship one that may warrant a contract to get if it's subsidized outside of Japan, and end up with a far more pleasing experience (Like the OnePlus One with the amazing specs, incredible $300 price tag, and obvious unlocked nature).

There's a chance that the hardware in the Crystal might deny the source code's release, too. Do remember, we have Harman/Kardon sound systems in there, and while I'm not too adept in Android devices, that would say a bit about source code release based on the other hardware companies involved willing to let go the code that makes it work the way it does.

Regardless, I will purchase this, and hope for a Superuser sooner than a custom ROM, though it would help the device to have something like Paranoid Android or Slim as a ROM, just so we could remove the navbar, and use the PIE system instead. Personally, I think that would help the anti-bezel format it's going for just that bit more, and I enjoy the added gesture-based interaction of Pie. There when you need it, gone when you don't. And you really don't need it all the time.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] steveokinevo:
Just got mine today. It's pretty nice. It is the boost version and from what I read it is already unlocked? Is there anything on rooting this yet?
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] weltwon:
Unlock/Rooting Hopes Fading

People:

it is now ONE FULL MONTH and NOT ONE major XDA developer has come to our aid in any way.

Based on over 7 years of experience with rooting many devices on XDA, this tells me that

we may NEVER see this device fully unlocked and rooted with any custom ROMs.

I believe that the ONLY thing that might change this prediction is if MILLIONS of these

phones are sold. XDA Developers gravitate towards the devices where they have a chance

to get donations and gratitude from hundreds of thousands of people.

However and as I have already said to Sharp by email and phone, they are hurting the

sale of their phones by NOT doing ANYTHING to help is unlock or root these phones.

Time will tell. One good thing has happened during my past month with a Aquos Crystal,

instead of spending time playing with custom ROMS, I have used the time to investigate

new apps from Play Store, which in some cases are better than the freebies I've had & used

in custom ROMs on my other Androids and iPhone. I'm also very happy with the $35/month

BoostMobile service and pity anyone who is paying MUCH more to Verizon or AT&T.

Glenn ;)
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] ecaslak:
I'm about to get the Boost version of this phone because of the $100 credit and a free month of service. I'm wondering if, after I activate on Boost, I can take the phone over to Ting or another MVNO. I know you can activate the Boost version of this phone on Ting, but that might not work if it's already been used on Boost. Let me know if any of you have tried this.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] weltwon:
No Ting if you take $100 discount

Another person on this thread took the $100 discount and Boost would NOT let him move service to Ting.

If you purchase the phone for full price, reports say that you CAN move to Ting.

Read this entire thread and you'll see both kinds of reports.

Glenn ;)
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] MrTriTanium:
If the Crystal is anything like the Virgin LG Optimus F3, patience and a lot of time are needed. The F3 doesn't even have a home on XDA and is just now getting an unofficial CM10 port well over a year in availability. Unofficial CM10 is one of (really) two ROMS available for it on another Android forum site that's more than bloat-free stock. Most likely, someone who already knows how to work Android magic will (eventually) get the Crystal and get things going, or someone learns the Android necessities and does it then. I'm definitely not the former, and don't have time for the latter being a senior in college.

Root and everything that comes with it will be freaking AMAZING, but it isn't something I expected to happen quickly and isn't a deal-breaker for me. It's a damn sexy phone, and that's why I bought it ;)
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] ecaslak:
I'll probably use it on Boost for two months because they're giving a $50 bill credit if you activate a phone.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] UltimaXtreme:
Similarly, the LG Vortex or VS660 in the model name, is based on another LG device that, comparatively, got a bit of ROM work. The device that actually got the ROM stuff, due to similarity, led to a CM9 ROM being made for the VS660, as well as a CM10 ROM. The specs sheet proves to make the device less than suitable for anything based on ICS or JB, but it worked out, once CWM was put on and a new kernel was installed to allow swap and EXT4 FS on an SD card.

Meanwhile, the Kyocera Echo saw one custom recovery, a few tweaked ROMs based on the stock ROM, and little else. No ICS or beyond. Seems the kernel was locked very tightly, to the point that the device didn't even originally HAVE a recovery, so to get to it, the old 'reboot recovery' thing is necessary, INSIDE the OS.

As it stands right now, the Sharp Aquos Crystal can't even achieve ROOT. For the love of... I'm still going to purchase the Crystal, since I've had my Echo as my driver long enough to despise it, but I'm not going to be happy without the unlocks.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] sophisticated_pie:
wait, really theres a cm10 for the F3? Do you have a link for it, I want to try it out.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] weltwon:
Don't worry, be happy !

Like the song says, instead of worrying about rooting and customizing my Aquos Crystal, over the past month I decided to accept the stock ROM and see what it's like.

Surprisingly, I am quite happy with it and swear it runs as fast as my former rooted/tweaked/customized Tmobile Galaxy Note 3. All my fav apps run super fast & smooth

on the 306SH .... Nova Settings, DishAnywhere, Jump Desktop, MX Player, ES File Explorer, EZCast, Out of Milk, Venstar, WinZip, Screen Off, Transparent Weather Clock, ShopSavvy.

The Harmon-Kardon ClariFi surpasses ANY audio I've had on my iPhone or long list of ther Android phones and tablets.

It's all about the BASS, and I'm only using it with $10 earbuds!

It's possible that Sharp's license agreement with H-K is part of the reason they're not giving us ability to root.

The ONLY app I have replaced (so far) with one from Lollipop (Android 5.0) is Email.

I replaced it because the newer Email app lets you highlight and delete a group of junk mail.

Email Version 6.2-1236599 works REAL:LY well on this phone. I've attached the apk to this post. It's any easy install with ES File Explorer.

BOTTOM LINE: Maybe someone will give us root in the future but considering how well this $149 smartphones looks and works, I won't worry.

I'll BE HAPPY! If anyone finds a better smartphone today for $149 with a $35/month BoostMobile unlimited plan, let all of us know HERE!.

Yes, Ting is cheaper but ONLY if you use a limited amount of talk/text/data so I'm sticking with Boost.

Glenn ;)

P.S. Just because I'm happy does not mean I won't continue searching the web for any clues that might help us fully unlock and root this device.

kingo root

walton, a member was able to root the phone w. kingo. is that a good news?

i was able to boot into recovery using the following steps

hold down power and volumne down. while the phone shows up the boot screen release the power button.

Cricket has a promo out for new customers switching from T-Mobile, Metro, Boost, or Sprint: $100 bill credit, plus a $75 MIR on 4G phones like the Moto G 4G. Plus you can use a $25 referral credit (find these on Howard Forums), and you have a way better deal than Boost right now.

It's a shame because i love this phone, but I'll be switching to Cricket this month instead of Boost. Maybe if someone unlocks this for US use, I'll get i .

Rooting 306SH with Kingo + Wireless Tether for Root Users

Kingo's latest version 1.2.6 download will ROOT Sharp Aquos Crystal 306SH phones ! ! !

Note: Before running Kingo, you MUST turn on USB Debugging in Settings>Developer. If you don't see Developer in Settings, Go to About phone and click Build number until it says that Developer is turned on.

During the process of running Kingo it repeatedly scrolls "Downloading requisite dependency files ... Waiting for device ..."

Be patient.

After watching the text scroll for several minutes, your phone should phone suddenly reboot itself (mine did).

I then downloaded Root Explorer (which I paid for) from Play Store and it instantly worked which told me my Boost Mobile Sharp Aquos Crystal 306SH is rooted!

Then I downloaded Wireless Tether for Root Users

installed it with ES File Explorer, ran it, it loaded the binaries needed and then it works ! Note: I have not tested the WiFi Tether with another device but

will do so after I finish celebrating root of this phone.

NOTE: This may NOT be a FULL root because SuperSU is not working & Root Checker app says we do not have root.

This means that not all apps requiring root will work at this time.

Today may be November 18 but it feels like Christmas !

Glenn ;)

P.S. If all this works for you, I simply ask for a click of THANKS button

but you can donate $$$ to Kingo if you appreciate their work.

Rooting Help

All of this applies ONLY to Sharp 306SH on Boost Mobile.

I do not have a 305SH and there may be some undiscovered difference(s) on the Sprint or Virgin models.

Note: This is not currently a complete root. This means some apps requiring root will work, others won't.

Go to my POST #1 (first post of this thread) for step by step details on how I rooted my 306SH

and what is & is not working at this time.

[Sharp Aquos Crystal] kozmo2k4:
I'm trying the Kingo Root right now, but not having success. So far...

I do have the correct drivers installed, the phone is recognized (in Device Manager and Kingo Root as 306SH).

Kingo Root just keeps: "Downloading requisite dependency files... Waiting for device... Checking ROOT status..." and over again...

It did reboot twice already, but just keeps going through the same cycle.

It's a Win 7 x64 machine, GOOD USB cable connected directly to the back of the PC.

Well, I'll try another machine in a bit...

This is what I got after about 15 minutes and three reboots:

Or maybe have the piece cod part number ...

Thanks a lot

[Sharp Aquos Crystal] weltwon:
Sorry!

If you know what you're doing, duplicate EXACTLY what I did and you will get EXACT same results.

I have attached 2 screen captures (made with Clip Now) showing that Root Explorer and WiFi Tethering for Root Users IS working on my 306SH.

Glenn ;)

P.S. If you are typing in GIANT RED letters because you have a vision problem, I am sorry for your vision impairment.

PPS. I paid $149 for my Boost Mobile 306SH but it includes up to $50 for a month of free service. I chose the $35/month plan. BTW, It is not my imagination. This phone is running as fast as my former rooted/tweaked/customized Note 3 on Tmobile.

To DenisJ: I doubt you can order and get a replacement part for your SIM card reader.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] wesbalmer:

Hi,

There is no upgrade for your device rooting now.

Pls hold back.

That is the official statement from them at the moment. I've tried the method and nothing. Its not a root but a trick to let apps think there is root. I'd wait for Kingo to get the job done as they are working on it

It's Halloween AGAIN!

Thanks for feedback from Kingo. Feels like Halloween AGAIN because we got a trick instead of a treat. Glad to hear that Kingo is "working on it" because for the past month it seems that nobody else has given any love to the Sharp Aquos Crystal 306SH ! BTW, I just tested Wireless Tether for Root Users and although it shows as working, the WiFi connection did not appear on one of my Android tablets so it's also a trick! I'm far from giving up but this is frustrating.

MSL String Locations

Ok using ADB i am able to dump the log file SHARP and filter to

The ril strings. Which string is the MSL in hex. I get data up in the

Hidden Menu. Which string shows the inncorrectly typed msl

And which string shows the required MSL.

If i can figure that out then im on my way here.

Has anyone dumped several logs and filtered them then

Run in file compare. Im assuming when we open the hidden

Menu go to edit an input msl wrong it outputs specific entries.

So comparing a dump of freshly rebooted state to freshly rebooted + hidden menu dial

+ inncorrect msl causing error.

The only problem i see is how consistent the dumps are.

Depends on everything the phone dose.

Also why pull /system/build.prop

I see you search date string and then delete

The build.prop file.

Whic D/RILJ string has the hex msl

Updated usb drivers for adb / kingo

The driver i used is the updated one from SH Developers Square.

Link:

//sh-dev.sharp.co.jp/android/modules/driver_eng

Instructions for loading driver per Developers Square

AQUOS CRYSTAL(306SH)

[ADB USB Driver Installation Procedures]

1)	First install the USB driver.

To download the USB driver for your product, click here.

2)	Download usb_driver_SHARP_r10.1.zip.

3)	Extract usb_driver_SHARP_r10.1.zip.

4)	Put a checkmark on “USB debugging” in the terminal setting screen to enable it.

(Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging)

5)	Connect the terminal to the PC using a USB cable.

6)	The Android Composite ADB Interface is detected, and the driver installation screen appears.

7)	Select /usb_driver_SHARP/ for the driver storage location and install the driver.

[Note]

*	You can use the ADB USB drivers installed and in use with other terminals without any change.

If you use a new terminal, use the latest ADB USB driver that is compatible with SHARP smartphone products.

*	When a USB cable is connected to the terminal, the USB connection mode is automatically selected as shown below. You can also switch the USB connection mode manually.

・	With microSD card inserted:	External memory transfer mode

・	With no microSD card inserted:

Let the MTP driver install automatically in windows.

For ADB driver select load from disk and pick the driver file from where you extracted it on your computer.

I would suggest getting your phone connected to your computer verify with ADB before trying to load KINGO.

After i installed the drivers and ran ADB in a DOS window the 1st time my phone itself asked for permissions for my

computer to be allowed to access it. Once granting permissions i can execute all ADB Commands.

Also after installing the drivers i would install SDK.

//developer.android.com/sdk/index.html?hl=

with sdk installed and the usb_driver_SHARP_r10.1.zip I am able to run ADB commands in a Command Prompt (DOS Window).

If you download the previous post MSL.RAR the Runme.Bat file will open a dos window and execute some ADB commands. The Runme.bat only dumps specific strings from the logcat file to the dos window. If it dose that you know

your phone is connected correctly to your computer.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] RealZel:
1. Check that Debugging mode is on

2. Try to change your wire

3. If your ADB connection first time - accept connection on your phone (it will be message on your phone)
