[MENTION=2099136]parkerlreed[/MENTION] on reddit answered a few of my questions. in teh past if i was able to root a device i could just compile recovery and root everyone then for devices like samsung, without knowing the bootloader situation or how to flash software on this device im left a bit clueless atm.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] QuickNET Tech:
How can I test to see if the bootloader is locked?
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] shabbypenguin:
Without root, the only option is something fairly stupid that could render your device non-booting.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] QuickNET Tech:
****, figured as much.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] parkerlreed:
I... might be up for this. Mother is moving over to Verizon prepaid. I would then have a Moto G to use as my main phone, leaving the Aquos for testing. I'll report back if this turns out to be the case.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] MrTriTanium:
Well... This is interesting... The day before I get my new phone to replace my Crystal (cracked digitizer), people with Android experience show interest... Oh well... :silly:

What has made things difficult is that it does some weird stuff without any clue to us as to what it's doing.

USB in computer then Vol Up + Pwr: Phone vibrates once, the Notification LED turns White and installs something on my laptop. The install does not finish before the phone turns off roughly 15 seconds later. That install does not happen again when tried a second time.

Vol Up THEN USB in computer THEN when the LED turns Red hold Pwr: Windows audibly cues a device connect and the screen turns on displaying Charging with a battery logo. The screen then turns off and Windows audibly cues a disconnect. After the audio cue the phone vibrates for roughly 6 seconds, stops, vibrates for another 2 (vibrated for 15 seconds on other tries), and LED turns White (another audio connect cue) for about 15 seconds and turns off (audio disconnect cue).

I started a thread here: http://xdaforums.com/aquos-crystal/help/download-mode-306sh-t3005531 but have not been able to recreate it again...

There is another thread where I posted where the Crystal would endlessly vibrate off and on...

I will still keep the Crystal and might stick around to do some experimental stuff to try to figure things out since it won't be my daily driver anymore. Hope this helps.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] parkerlreed:
I have seen that exact behavior on mine. When I got the solid white LED, I quickly ran adb and fastboot but neither showed the device (on Linux so I don't have to worry about drivers installing). I've also seen it show up as a USB device while powered off and charging but same deal there. I think it just does that so it can register charging from Windows.

I'll try to get a writeup of all the exact behavior.

---------- Post added at 10:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 PM ----------

Ok here it goes...

Powered off:

Unplugged:

Hold Vol Up + Power + release shortly after = White light for 15 seconds

Hold Vol Down for 5 seconds + Press and hold Power for a few seconds and continue to hold Vol down = Recovery mode

Plugged: Red light for charging. Device shows up to computer under the generic USB VID/PID ID 04dd:933a Sharp Corp.

Hold Vol Up + Power + release shortly after = same as above. adb nor fastboot -i 0x04dd see the device

Hold Vol Down for 5 seconds + Press and hold Power for a few seconds and continue to hold Vol down = Same as above. Plugging it in after entering recovery shows no devices on the computer.

"Vol Up THEN USB in computer THEN when the LED turns Red hold Pwr: " as mentioned above just seems to go into charging mode then does a small reset and goes back into charging mode.

Holding just power and continuing to hold it: Device starts to boot up, turns back off due to long holding power, and then starts to vibrate if you continue to hold power. Doesn't stop until power is released.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] QuickNET Tech:
I am able to get my device recognized by adb/fastboot, however when I try to do an oem unlock, it says it is "waiting for device" even though it is connected and was just working fine. Any help?

Someone else says that they have possibly unlocked their bootloader via the command I typed, but no matter what I try, it will not stop "waiting for [my] device"
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] parkerlreed:
Are you sure it's even seeing the device? fastboot devices would show it. Also what device do you have exactly? 04dd is the vendor code for Sharp...
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] QuickNET Tech:
I have a Sharp Aquos Crystal.

Typing in "adb devices" shows my device, I have not tried typing in "fastboot devices" though, will try that later today.

I simply typed what was listed in another Sharp Aquos Crystal thread and it appears that they may have unlocked their bootloader.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] parkerlreed:
If it's showing up under adb then it's not in fastboot mode. That's the issue here. Actually trying to figure out if there is a fastboot mode and how to get to it. And then on top of that seeing if a bootloader unlock works.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] QuickNET Tech:
So I was in what, download mode?
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] shabbypenguin:
Alright folks, I've chatted with [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION], you may know of him from such roots as just about every HTC one in the past 3 years, just about every Moto in the past few years, and many more.

Anyways he said he will take a look at it

sometime next month (may)

. He does not want a device bought for him, however he needs one in hand in order to mess with it so he needs a loaner. So one of you brave folks willing to loan him a device may be lucky enough to end up with the first rooted crystal returned back to them. Don't expect results, don't ask for ETAs cuz lets be honest if you piss him off what else do you have to rely on then? He is a fairly busy gentleman and will get to it when he can, but I wanted to update you all and let you know someone with actual rooting experience will be available to assist.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] QuickNET Tech:
How long could this take, I am willing if the time it is away is less than 2-3 weeks.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] jcase:
30minutes to 6months
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] QuickNET Tech:
Lol. Ok, what about the chances of a brick upon return?
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] jcase:
I'll replace anything I brick, so 0.

Lets start with a dump, however

mkdir system

adb pull /system system

adb shell getprop > getprop.txt

adb shell mount > mount.txt

adb shell ps > ps.txt

adb shell ls -alZ / > rootdir.txt

zip it all up and upload it.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] QuickNET Tech:
I am uploading the .zip now, slowly but surely. (thanks to Sprints poor reception in my area)

[Sharp Aquos Crystal] MrTriTanium:
I can provide a donor Crystal a few days after I get my new phone, BUT the digitizer is cracked and renders the touchscreen wonky at best. The top inch or so of the display (in portrait) simply doesn't work in most areas, the rest of the screen works fine.

If that isn't a deal breaker [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION], I could send it your way. However long you have it is cool with me.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] QuickNET Tech:
I messaged you on Google Hangouts, since I don't have talk. Didn't Google shut down Google Talk earlier this year?
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] jcase:

[Sharp Aquos Crystal] parkerlreed:
I just got my old Moto G activated. So there's another Aquos available for testing. (screen and everything works)
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] davidave:
After reading this, it seems the eMMC is the first road block that prevent us on the rooting process..

but when i check cat /proc/partitions and the /by-name thing, the wanted partition (modem) seems to be found there (unlike older aquos phones which are terribly brutal) at mmcblk0p11 sizing at 64MB i think.

and based on the key combinations in 305SH:

holding up + power gives me a Android recovery tool <3e> (totally useless since there are no ADB override)

holding down + power or up+down+power gives me a Safe mode on boot

I based this attempts from different unlock methods like 007SH, 102/104SH but still no luck to pull this thing to root it since it is important.

I also suspect that this processor (MSM8926) hasn't a legitimate exploit (as I already tried Framaroot via Gandalf exploit) .

Hopefully this thread goes more active despite a few number of users own a 305/306SH

I honestly frustrated the fact that bennyhk/jphoneru are zipped on the mouths on how they were unlocked it in the first place. (such a nasty price just to unlock them)
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] loonbg:
is there some way we can reset this eMMC or whole phone to enable bootloader or fastboot?
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] compuguy1088:
I have one as a glovebox phone. If he has the time in May, I would be willing to loan it.

[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nigelmercier:
I bought an SM-T530NU in the US, thinking it would work OK in the UK. The only problem is that it doesn't get Wi-Fi Channels 12 and 13. I asked if there was a solution to this here but didn't get any replies that helped.

I'm wondering if there is a stock Europe ROM I could use?

Note that this is the Galaxy TAB 4 10.1" with Wi-Fi (no 3G) and an IR module.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
I gave you my tuppence worth on the Wi-Fi channel question just now, but as for this question. I'm about 95% certain that unfortunately for you, Samsung only officially releases firmware builds for the U.S. (XAR Region: Cellular South) and Canada (XAC Region: Canada) for this tablet model. Now there is a firmware build (analogous to but not the exact same as a stock rom) for the UK region (BTU Region if I remember correctly) for the regular SM-T530, but that one doesn't have the IR module so you'd lose that functionality. That's the deal for firmwares.

As for custom roms, repey6 made a trimmed-down but mostly unaltered stock rom for our model here. However it's based off the U.S. firmware build so I don't think it would offer you the solution you're looking for. If you're feeling particularly brave, Cyanogenmod 11 (designed for SM-T530) is working for our model too, if you want a drastic solution.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esanator:
I have tried to install OmniROM, KatKiss 4.4.4 and CM 11. I think I have the newest bootloader version. TWRP version is 2.8.5.0.

I have unlocked bootloader with the official unlock tool from Asus.

Install goes without errors in TWRP, but after reboot it always will get stuck on starting animation forever (Omni, KatKiss or CM logo animation). I have done factory reset/wipe before install. I have also wiped dalvik cache after install.

Software version is JOP40D.WW_epad-10.6.1.27.5-201309032.

What could be a solution for my problem? I would like to try any custom ROMs for TF300T.

Best way is to flash root supporting rom via SP Flashtools.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] bigrammy:
Hi bro,

First thanks for the tip off about the working touch in recovery It's very much appreciated :highfive:

Ok so as I understand your stock rom is 4.4.4 KK with no "L" update available from Just5 :confused:

So you have flashed the Stock P6000 "L" Rom and all works except the camera seems to be switched front to back and vice versa :confused:

I assume you have tried the obvious like trying another camera app from play store?

Try flash back your stock lk.bin or flash the "L" version lk.bin if you didn't already do that then see if that makes any difference :eek:

I am sure I spotted some camera stuff in the config of the lk.bin :confused:

I could be wrong though as I have seen so much code lately things tend to blend into each other :laugh:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Deleted member 5172169:
1)You're welcome bro :)

2)Yap stock KK rom , still no one knows about L update for Blaster, maybe when Ota for P6000 comes out there might be update to L for Blaster, but as i said it's a big question mark. (source Just5 Support)

3)I personally have flashed Flyme os(v4.v5,v6( i think)) Stock P6000 8.3 rom (Full flash and format, Including preloader, lk, custom and so on.) and then update to 8.4 via Ota( which seems to stopped working right at the moment( network connection error) And then Android L( also full flash and format, Including preloader, lk, custom and so on.) Beta 2 and Beta 3.

I wish that it would be like that, atleast both cameras would be working, :D ( alright let me explain, right now only front camera is working, it can take shots with 6mp, and for example if i would like to take picture of my head, it would be upside down, and in many diffrent colours. the worst thing is that you cant even switch to back camera( thats why i think that phone thinks that my front camera is now my back camera, and my back camera is now my front camera, which isnt selectable) i hope i didnt confuse you even more, because at 3pm and 0 hours of sleep, thinking and typing is not the thing you want to think about ;)

4)Yap i tryed many different cameras, no luck :(

5)intresting so do flash but this time instead of using p6000 lk.bin i use stock lk.bin, hmm revolutionary idea :D ( as i said i did Firmware upgrade with all the p6000 sp flashtool files (including Preloader. lk.bin, custom.img and so on.)

Tryed The revolutionary idea kinda failed, phone still booted, but camera styed the same. :(

Wait There has been Miui Ported for p6000? its my favorite rom, and of course has some big bugs, but still waiting with my fingers crossed
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bigrammy:
Hmmm :confused:

Even the Elephone as Stock has big problems with the camera mine too :laugh:

Can you try it with the Auto Rotation OFF and see if that improves things a little :confused:

I think we may need to wait for Elephone to fix things in the stock rom first before we try track down your issue. :eek:

Once fixed we may be able to decompile the camera apk and remap the camera's :fingers-crossed:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Deleted member 5172169:
You do know that the camera issue is only for Android L, right?

Yeah if we compare Just5 and Elephone stock cameras somehow Just5 won the round, i dont know why but camera on Just5 stock takes better pictures than Elephone stock. but still

My galaxy ace 5mp camera takes better pictures than on both phone stock roms, on phones with 13 mp back and even 5mp front camera,

And btw whats with the chineese apps in Beta 3?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bigrammy:
Hi,

Yes I know. :good:

I have not flashed L at all so I can't comment on it really but I know the Russians are complaining about the camera on beta 3 :laugh:

My KK camera quality is rubbish as you say :laugh:

Again I think it will be drivers issues like for our touch so lets wait for all the bugs to get sorted then look at your problem if it still remains that is.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Deleted member 5172169:
Actually There is a camera patch from Just5 Blaster made by z0rgent its posted in 4pda forums. but yeah kinda new Soc and it might take time till all the bugs are gone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] HypoTurtle:
Just to chime in I captured the OTA download address's and both are 404 now.

The camera fix from z0rgent is 1 lib and the blaster kernel (what can't that kernel do).

For the blaster camera; I would suggest comparing some libs against the P6000 but if works fine on Flyme etc ...

With beta3 the Chinese apps took me all of 5 minutes to disable; I didn't expect them at all - with Flyme sure, but not a beta L. Perhaps it indicates the intended us of /custom; individual apps for various networks (similar to the three version of Flyme; but simpler as those are three full ROMs).

Just had a thought... couldn't we house gapps in /custom - I think it's big enough - with L at least.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xenonism:
Hi is the stock ROM available anywhere in any form?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Deleted member 5172169:
Nope, You can try using Elephone stock rom or flashtool rom files. but actually what part of the system do you need?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Deleted member 5172169:
Well recently contacted Just5 support and yes they conformed that the will release Lollipop and its being tested, but the cant promise that it will updateable throught ota. in that case i will send it to repair centre to update and somehow will try to do full dump.

as for me i am on Just5 Stock.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bigrammy:
Thanks for this info bro :good:

I did not think it would be an OTA really so I think they may give you a download link for the upgrade rather than you having to send the phone back for upgrade :confused:
