Current root status

Before we will be able to use with GSM we need root access.

I would think in order to use the gsm capability of the phones modem we will need to flash the phone with software that utilizes the gsm capability.

View it like a driver. If you hook something to your computer but dont have a driver the computer cannot control the hardware because it needs information on how to communicate with the hardware.

If you look up sim unlock for galaxy s4 im guessing its gonna be a similar process with the aquos.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2530610

Step 1 in my mind is getting fastboot up n running.

If i could do that then i could run custom recovery likr CWM "clockworks mod" without flashing it too the phone. "No chance of Brick"

Once we find or modify recovery and it works with fastboot we can flash it to the phone and hopefully add in functionality to help us unlock.

The problem is that even though ADB Shell is up and Running our phones seem to lack the Fastboot portion of the code in the bootloader kernel.

I have my msl and i seen post on how to execute linux shell commands to que the logcat file to pull your msl if you need it. I believe C+ can as well. We need a linux guru here.

Even still we need to be able to run fastboot.

We need to run custom recovery.

We need to find or unlock the rest of the service menus.

Before we can even think about custom rom.

We may need to plash the modem.

Anyone got any ideas how to get fastboot up.

A little help with the linux side of things would be cool too.

Like what shell can we use in windows.

We all need to acces theese phones in any way we know how and pool all our findings together.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] russ722:
good luck guys,all us non development guys thank you. this would be awesome if we could get root....then maybe custom Roms.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] Jayarama:
I can see only 2 options in the phones recovery menu

1) Restart phone

2) Data reset

Sad:(
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] ivanthec:
I honestly think this is going to be the wrong way to go at it. I'm not 100% sure but I don't think a lot of the Sharp phones will have fastboot. Also If you research Sharp's past phones, you will see many of the recent ones do not have root yet.

The phones that have root, needed the custom image files to be pushed via adb push commands. Obviously a lot more is involved, but that's a consistent thing I have noticed with Sharp Phones.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] Jayarama:
We agree, i went to lot of Japanese site but no luck so far.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] cbsites:
I'll be willing to help on the root

I've had my 306SH for 3 days and have tried several exploits. No luck. I saw someone needed some Linux assistance? How can I help? I've been poking around in the shell mode looking at what ever is possible. My humble opinion on the security of the Aquos; It's really locked down. Directories are closed, unreadable or inaccessible. Dmesg doesn't have permissions. The /data directory can't be searched. But you can write to /data/local/tmp. It seems to be the only directory where you can download something an change it's permissions. (you can write to /storage/sdcard0 but you can not create an executable). Basically from what I can see, it's very secure from the common exploits and prying eyes like mine. :eek:
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] moonalikhan:
You are right i just got the new Update when i checked the software update it says SW version SA300 and i am thinking of not to update and wait for the root.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] ivanthec:
Eh I"m updating just for the better battery. I doubt we will see root anytime before the Crystal X comes stateside ;)

hey how u found voice and text sharp acquos crystal..which model u have.....305sh cdma or gsm.and which carrier u have softbank, boost, sprint...
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] moonalikhan:
i came across this link do have a look at it .

http://www.itmedia.co.jp/mobile/articles/1408/18/news070.html

basically both of the models are the same so it means both of them have GSM and CDMA. AQUOS model CRYSTAL is developed collaboration with the US Sprint of the SOFTBANK Group so for that they realised two customised models one for US market and the other one for Japan. so if some one just hack the boot-loader and it is rooted we will have the clear picture. So for now just hope for the best .
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] ryu_gian:
i have the 306Sh (sprint). am currently located in belize
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] tewilove:
No public tool can root newer SHARP devices by now for some reasons.

1. kernel are updated and security patched

2. even with kernel exploit, there is power on write protection on system partition, it cannot be turned off until reboot

3. for older Japanese variants, LSM stops read & write on boot/recovery/... partitions

Now I have found some other security hole on SHARP devices.

I successfully dumped radio image(mmcblk0p11) for both 305SH and 306SH. If some of you is qualified to analyze the SIM lock, please contact me and I'll share the image file if you are willing to contribute.

Hello,I recently got myself a Sharp Aquos crystal phone from Boost mobile and shipped it to india without activating it. Now I need to get its MSL code for it to be used in india on a cdma network.Please help me find its msl code. Thank you
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] Hindolam:
Get MSL/SPC code

This worked for Boost Moto G. Maybe the same method will work for Sharp Aquous Crystal as well

Method 1

Go to the Boost Mobile website and activate your phone. You can do this without actually paying for the first month. The MSL/SPC code for your phone will be listed on the last page of the activation process.

Method 2

You can try this without activating with Boost. Install MSL Reader SPCUtility.apk on your phone. I do not have it handy. You can search for it and download. Copy the apk to your SD card and then open and install it with a file manager or push it from your PC with "adb install SPCUtility.apk".
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] firasat:
I tried doing that but could not find my MSL code anywhere...

New user of this phone in India

Hello guys I am a new user on this website and I just bought this phone on somebody's advice that US phones even locked ones work without trouble outside India. But now I bought a new GSM SIM for this phone which is CDMA locked to boost and it doesn't recognize the SIM. I see on this thread that you guys have not been able to unlock it either but outside USA any chance I could get it to work on CDMA or GSM?

Thanks

The Japanese and US both are the same phone but with different modules and network. hence if it is rooted the GSM can be used . it just matter of time now. and see the attached pic of the official Sharp Us site which says

Q:Is AQUOS Crystal different in Japan and US versions?

A:The design of device is almost identical; however the user interface and supported network are different.

What is it?

A dark themed 2048 version that supports interaction with a Myo device.

You can also play it without a Myo ;).

Here is a screenshot:

View attachment 2981634

It also has extra layouts for Nexus7 and Nexus10 sized devices.

Here is a video of me playing it me a Myo:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TGBVyu9Lgs

Download

You can find it on Google Play

Or get the APK directly from Github.

Additional information:

It's open source and you can find the code on github.

It has been uploaded for a while but i could only recently make the source code available.

The game contains ads which can be removed via IAP.

I don't think there will be any question on how to play 2048, will there ? ;)

edit: It's 4.3+ because the Myo requires bluetooth low energy. If there is enough demand though, we could think about making it 4.0+ compatible.

Hi,

Our company bought in Eurotel 4 QTek SPV-M1000 (also known as 2010) and 40 QTek SPV-M2000 from Orange (also known as 9060 or 9090 I'm not sure).

I would like to get Windows Mobile 2003 SE or Windows Mobile 2005, however those 2 suppliers do not want or are not able to provide them to us.

I've seen that on this website some version of windows mobile 2003 or 2005 are available, but i do not know to which type (which forum) should i ask it because if the look close to QTek, i can not be sure at 100%.

Please, could you help me ?

thanks a lot,

[General Topics] mach2005:
Your SPV M1000 is a 2020/Himalaya, no 2010.

You can flash your device with WM5 roms from this Himalaya-forum.

Good luck.

Orange SPV M2000 / Qtek 9090 == blue angel you can also get

wm2005 for that pretty sure it already comes with 2003SE

but mind you non of the wm2005

for blue angel or himalaya are offical roms

and you are not likely to get support from where

you got them if you flash them

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] focrum:
I'm curious if the bootloader will be unlocked from Google Play and Motorola, but locked if you buy the phone at a Verizon store.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selayan:
You should be able too if you buy off contract and they let you activate it and they should. All you need is a nano SIM provisioned on your account.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChappellHeel:
Does anyone think that getting a nano Sim from Verizon will be an issue?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selayan:
It shouldn't. When I had a resound, it used a normal sim. I bought a DNA off swappa and it used a micro SIM. I went to Verizon told them I bought the phone used and would like to swap it out for the rezound. They got a micro SIM and set it up on my account and plugged it in my new phone.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rufflez2010:
Shouldn't be an issue. I had to replace my Sim when I went from galaxy nexus to note 3 because of the ISIS support, but no issues when I went back to my note 2 when the note 3 was a disappointment for me. You could even cut your Sim if they give you any crap.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selayan:
I would be weary of cutting the SIM. You should have no issue asking for a nano SIM if you have an account with them. The worst that could happen is the in store employee is misinformed and says no or charges you for it.

I'm pretty sure if the size of the phone doesn't bother me I'm keeping it and I'll leave Verizon if I have to assuming they don't want to allow it because you got it from Google.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rufflez2010:
Yeah. It's a non issue. They will give you a NanoSIM. No need to worry about contract extensions for simply requesting it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrw1215:
I want to, but I'm nervous about dropping $700~ for a device that won't actually end up working on Verizon. Granted, I guess I could return it, get a refund, and then purchase it through whatever way I need to to get a Verizon version, but I don't want to go through that headache. I'll most likely take the plunge and order it from the Play Store (assuming I can get online when the preorders go up, anyway), but I'm definitely nervous about whether or not I'll end up having to jump through hoops to get a N6 that actually works on Verizon.

The nano SIM thing is going to be tricky for me, though, as my current phone uses a micro SIM. I've pondered buying one of those SIM cutters for $10 on Amazon, but it probably would be more appropriate to go to a Verizon store and actually have them issue me the card. Question, though, I'm on a family plan right now, and I'm not the primary account holder; can I go, by myself, to Verizon to get a SIM card, or will I need to bring the primary account holder with me for "authorization purposes", or whatever you'd want to call it?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selayan:
You need to bring the account holder with you. On the phone you usually just have to know their last four digits of the social or their passcode if they have one.

But since you are not primary the account holder has to be in there when you ask for the SIM. At least that was the case for me when I was on a family plan where I was not primary.

Don't worry about it, they will give you a SIM card. If they say they won't allow the phone, Google will take it back no questions asked since you have two weeks for a refund.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrw1215:
I'm not so much worried about that, I'm more worried that the Play Store version will end up not working with Verizon, and that you'll have to buy one from Verizon, themselves, or wherever. I wouldn't actually anticipate that Google wouldn't refund me or anything, rather, I just don't want to have to go through some big crazy process just to get a Nexus 6 for my account, you know? I'm hoping it's as simple as buying from the Play Store and getting a new SIM from Verizon. Don't want to have to go through a 2-3 week process where I buy from the Play Store, find out it doesn't work with Verizon, return it and wait for a refund, buy a Verizon version, etc. Just seems like a big headache that I'm hoping won't be an issue. @_@
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selayan:
You will know on the 29th. When we preorder we select the color and model, and size then it goes to check out. This is on play store. Right before check out if you see it asking you to select unlocked or Verizon or Sprint then you will know that there are carrier specific models.

I believe it will just be two versions world and US. But we will see.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrw1215:
So I assume, if those three options exist during checkout, "unlocked" probably wouldn't work on Verizon, then? I assume "unlocked" in this connotation is strictly about the carriers, rather than things like the bootloader, etc.?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selayan:
All nexus devices usually have unlocked boot loader. In this case unlocked means contract free for use on gsm networks like t mobile and AT&T. The moto x 2014 has the same check out page requiring you to select unlocked or verizon/sprint.

Even if it is like this, the hardware of the phone is the same for all carriers. So I'm betting that even if you choose Verizon, it just comes with a Verizon nano SIM but you could pop in a t mobile or AT&T SIM and it will work.

I'm ordering it from the play store and taking it to Verizon. I have a phone I'm using now so if Verizon says nope you have to buy from us, well then I go to metro pcs and add myself to the plan I already own there.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckarrow2:

I too have unlimited and I'm planning to try the Best Buy method for getting a subsidized upgrade and keeping unlimited on a new two-year contract. Does anyone here have any experience with this method (preferably recent)?

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selayan:
A few members of my android dev team ( ecliptic ) used this method. I'm unsure if Verizon will give you a nano SIM without the phone being there. I know t mobile you can just order them online. Can you do that with Verizon ?

The process for Verizon is you order on best buy website and have the phone shipped. They put an upgrade flag on your account that doesn't change your data until the phone is turned on and activated.

So as soon as you get the phone you can just take the SIM they send with it out. But I don't know what would happen if you took the SIM out and took the phone to Verizon telling them you want to activate it with a nano SIM from them...they would see the upgrade flag on your account and it could get rid of unlimited.

See if you can get a nano SIM for free beforehand. Have that nano sim provisioned on your account already so when the phone comes it keeps your data.
