[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] zenkinz:
did anybody has any problem with AllShare app? it can find my home media server (Twonkymedia in my Qnap) but it can never load the content list.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] koven:
I can load twonkey filelist but I can't make allshare play most of video files (mostly hd ones)
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Ikyo:
My guess is that your HD files are in MKV format which the Tab doesn't understand. It would need to transcode them into a format the Tab knows what to do with.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] hartyshow:
For me, none of my .avi work :-(

MediaTomb --> GT
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] koven:
I tought so.It would be nice to change the default player to ie rockplayer..
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Beards:
The Tab does play .mkv files.

All you need to do is use something like Astro or ES File Explorer to select the files and then open up in the player. They then play fine.

With Astro you press and hold on the file and from the selection select Open As, then Video, then choose your video player.

For ES File Explorer you simply click on the file and from the selection select Video and then again the video player you wish to use.

Regardless the stock video player although it does not show .mkv files in it's list it does however play them fine.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] zenkinz:
Mine does not even show any content, be it video or just jpg, it will just keep trying to load, and after a few mins, it will just stop with an empty list.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Ikyo:
It could be the way that the Allshare app on the Tab works. I know that my Epic will show information that my Tab won't. I read that it is how the Tab requests data from the server. I wonder if we could pull the Allshare app from the Epic and put it on the Tab.

I just tried installing Voodoo on my Samsung Galaxy i9000 (Froyo), but Odin stopped so I had to remove the battery. Now when I turn on my phone all I get is the computer+!+phone. I can put my phone into download mode. What can I do? Happy to do a complete reset. With Optus in Australia if that is any help. I did not enable USB debugging before I started the whole process.

Thanks!

You are not alone! :)

I got my IS03 the first day it was out. Only got it, because it was the best Android phone on au so far. Even though the IS06 will be better. But I needed a contract as soon as possible. Kind of nice phone, but lots of things i don't like. Like the launcher (try ADW.Launcher - can be found in the android market - for home, is a lot faster and looking nicer).

I would love to root this IS03 device to get wifi tether so I can use my Nexus One with Gingerbread soon :).

I have been in Android for a long time. Started with the ADP1, Nexus One and now IS03. As well I am working as an Android App Developer for tonchidot (creators of SekaiCamera). So I know my way around Android. But I am not sure how to root the IS03 or even how to try. And a little afraid of ruining my phone :D. Nexus One is a little different. because i don't depend on it. But I need the IS03 for calling. And can not use my Nexus One on au :(. If I could I would. That is why i need wifi tether as soon as possible :D.

Any recommendations on Rooting? Let me know and I will try! :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] razor950:
Have you tried the regular rooting tools, just for kicks?

such as z4root and try both perm and temp root...

If you don't mind me borrowing some of your time to work out things, I could try out a few things with rooting, pm me your information(skype/gtalk/msn/aim/etc :P)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SharpIS03:
Thank you for your response! I recognize you from twitter when I tried to google up information regarding the IS03. I'm trying ADW right now after you suggested it. I was using Launcher Pro, it was all right; however, ADW seems to be a little smoother.

I'm really scared to try to attempt any rooting procedure with my phone too. I do have a backup phone but I'd hate to brick my new purchase so I definitely need to do my research.

That's cool that you work with tonchidot, I've used Sekai Camera a couple times to test it out, but there really isn't too much activity around me other than a lot of landmarks.

Anyways, if I come up with any information I'll let you know on this thread.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SharpIS03:
I haven't tried any regular rooting tools just yet. I'm still just getting used to using it. As I find out more, especially in terms of bricking, booting into recovery, etc, I'll probably try some rooting tools.

Thanks for your response too, I will PM you with my information shortly.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SharpIS03:
just trying to boot into recovery mode...

I was trying to see if I could boot the phone into recovery mode in the first place, all my attempts have failed so far.

There's the power button, volume up and volume down buttons, and the camera button. Hidden from view (need to take off the back cover) is the reset button.

On a sidenote, I timed the startup process just for kicks:

~2 seconds - "Android au with Google" logo appears

~30 s - IS03 animation appears

~40 s - screen brightens slightly

~43 s - Monochromatic menu lights up, IS03 animation is still playing

~50 s - "Reading au card..." message replaces IS03 animation

~53 s - Home screen with Unlock pattern appears

Anyways, back to this recovery mode business: I tried a method that a couple of other websites suggested which was a combination of Vup and CAM being pressed while being powered on. That didn't work, so I tried all sorts of combinations:

Hold POWER throughout startup

Hold Vup only	X

Hold Vdown only	X

Hold CAM only	X

Hold Vup and CAM	X

Hold Vdown and CAM	X

Hold ALL	X

Power on and release power button but

Hold Vup only	X

Hold Vdown only	X

Hold CAM only	X

Hold Vup and CAM	X

Hold Vdown and CAM	X

Hold ALL	X

During Startup

Hold CAM, press HOME	X

Hold Vup and CAM, press HOME	X

At this point, I tried messing around with the reset button. All the reset button does is restart the phone while powered on. Nothing happens if the reset button is pressed while the phone is off. I still tried various combinations anyways but nothing worked.

After perusing some of the other threads, perhaps my phone has this recovery option disabled (likely), doesn't have such a mode (erm, unlikely?), or I just haven't found the right combination yet (also likely).

It's too bad this phone is only in Japan in the moment. I better brush up on my Japanese...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SharpIS03:
Tested some Android codes via this page

The only code that seems to work is *#*#4636#*#* which brings up general information that is otherwise easily accessible in the normal menus in this phone.

Hmmm.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SharpIS03:
z4root attempt

I've just successfully used z4root's temporary root feature to root the phone. <---- I jumped the gun when I ran z4root for the first time and it said it was successful, oops.

Now what? I don't want to try the permanent root solution yet, especially if I don't know how to get my phone into recovery mode yet.

At the moment

:

1. z4root temporary root 'works' (USB debugging needs to be checked)

2. Superuser icon is in the drawer

3. BusyBox is not installed as z4root says it will do

4. Downloaded Titanium Backup, program doesn't work (asks to verify rom root and installation of BusyBox)

5. Installing BusyBox from Titanium Backup doesn't seem to work

6. Installed BusyBox installer from the Market, that works

7. Running the newly installed BusyBox installer, it tells me that I don't have root

Regarding step 7: I'm guessing that BusyBox failed to install during the z4root process even though z4root 'worked', plus trying to install via Titanium Backup didn't work as well. At this point, looks like the temporary root solution is a false positive pending further testing.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SharpIS03:
Universal Androot time.

That was quick. Attempting to install Superuser for Android 2.0-2.2 (or even 1.5-1.6) didn't work. Here's what I get:

*Rooting your device, please wait...

Generating exploit .. [OK]

Generating su .. [OK]

Generating Superuser.apk .. [OK]

Generating root script .. [OK]

*after about 10 seconds, changes to Installing toolkit ..

After roughly 20 seconds, I get this message:

Failed ! No ~~~ Fu goo ~~~

It looks like the process fails somewhere during the toolkit installation.

Boo.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SharpIS03:
ADB issues

Did it really take this long just to resolve all the ADB issues? All I wanted to do was take a simple screenshot of my phone :(

When I plugged my phone into my computer, all of the drivers EXCEPT the ADB installed just fine.

1. Install Android SDK and JRE SDK, Eclipse is optional since I'm not really a developer (link)

2. Install PDAnet for Android (link)

3. Ensure that your ADB files are in the correct folder (at least for the ddms.bat stuff...) (link)

So...I can take some screenshots now...yippee.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SharpIS03:
z4root permanent root option

Just tried the permanent option with z4root.

Similar process that the temporary process did except the phone rebooted. After the reboot, everything seemed to be working as normal.

BusyBox, Titanium Backup, and Wireless Tether all say I am not rooted, though.

So much for that.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SharpIS03:
Safe Mode

My efforts to boot the phone into recovery mode have led me into Safe Mode instead.

No big deal.

I still haven't found a surefire way to get into Safe Mode except to keep mashing the Volume Up and Camera buttons while pressing the monochromatic buttons when they finally light up just before the home screen appears.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SharpIS03:
Universal Androot 1.6.2 beta 5, Recovery Mode

Interesting thing about this version is that it adds a Soft Root as well as logging to the SDCARD.

1. Uninstalled Universal Androot 1.6.1 (stable)

2. Installed Universal Androot 1.6.2 beta 5 from the SDCARD using App Install

3. Tried all options, including the option not to install Superuser

RESULT: Failed! No ~~~ Fu Goo ~~~

Would you look at that? I can put my phone into recovery mode through adb commands...huh.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lundman:
I have a IS03 from au as well, so I appreciate your efforts in this. So far the phone will do, but I do find it strange that I can't use Skype over wifi, instead of 3g...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SharpIS03:
Thanks for your comments. I feel I'm not really doing much except for poking around to see what kind of reaction I get from the IS03.

If I stumble on something worthwhile, it'll be posted here.

As far as your Skype problem is concerned, when you use Skype, it switches from your WiFi connection to 3g? I believe I can use Skype with my WiFi, but I'll have to pay closer attention to that.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SharpIS03:
Bootloader and Recovery reboot via ADB

Let's see what happens if I try to reboot my phone via ADB in either recovery or bootloader mode.

According to this site, if I'm not mistaken, I anticipate seeing some menu options pop up when I get into either recovery or bootloader mode.

Rebooting into Recovery Mode

1. Unmount SDCARD

2. USB DEBUG is checked

3. Plug the phone into the netbook

4. Windows+R 'cmd' to bring up the prompt

5. get to android-sdk-windows/tools directory

6. adb devices to ensure that the device is listed

7. adb reboot recovery to restart the phone into recovery

Phone reboots and shows a white triangle with a yellow exclamation mark with the green droid icon in front of it. What happens when I do some button combinations? Let's see...

VolUP + CAM = FAIL

VolDN + CAM = FAIL

POW + CAM = FAIL

POW + VolUP = FAIL

POW + VolDN = FAIL

POW + VolUP + CAM = FAIL

POW + VolDN + CAM = FAIL

VolDN + VolUP + CAM = FAIL

Randomly pressing all buttons = FAIL

I can't access any menu here...

Rebooting into Bootloader Mode

Same steps as before, except

7. adb reboot-bootloader to restart the phone into bootloader

The phone restarts and the Android AU with Google logo appears...and it seems to be stuck at this part. Button presses do nothing, no menu or text.

With either method, I have to take out the battery.

Mistaken, I am.

ADB Driver

Greetings!

It seems this is the only place I've seen for english speaking IS03 help. I saw that you were able to install the ADB drivers. Are you using a Japanese version of windows?

I was able to get the USB drivers from Sharp's site, but no luck in getting them to work...

I'm using Win 7 64bit, but it seems I can't get the ADB interface to be recognized.

Anyhow, any help would greatly appreciated.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pboos:
adb reboot recovery

starts recovery.. but do not get the menu (no matter which buttons i press)

adb reboot bootloader => hangs in booting? or is that the bootloader?

IS03 ADB Drivers

Well, strangely enough, the IS03 drivers wouldn't install for me, but these would:

sh-dev.sharp.co.jp/android/modules/driver/index.php?/003sh/download

(forum wouldn't let me post the link...)

When I have my phone plugged in and I have an emulator running, I get this:

List of devices attached

SSHEV080667	device

emulator-5554	device

I'm assuming the SSHEV device is my IS03, and the other is obvious...

I haven't gotten to much farther than this, but I thought I'd share...The drivers specific for the IS03 Win 7 64bit at this address:

k-tai.sharp.co.jp/support/a/is03/download/usb/index.html

...they didn't work for me. When trying to install the drivers, they weren't recognized.

I'll post more when I get a bit farther...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SharpIS03:
I think I'm copying wrong or something...I need to review my steps again. Superuser won't remember my Allow/Deny things until su is updated...I thought I copied it to the right place.

Alternative rooting method from @cielavenir

I've been informed that goroh's method is no longer being supported, though is03break is still being used. In my previous alternative rooting post, I used the method from love_marijuana.

This time, I'm using cielavenir's method. You can download the file here, it's titled ISuhax30.7z.

### This is based on the idea that SuperOneClick is useful to make is03break stable. Thank you reporters. ###

1. prepare (on PC)
adb push data_local /data/local/
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/is03break
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/psneuter

5. reboot

6. utilize root
adb shell rm /data/local/psneuter

* jackpal.androidterm - Terminal
* revised busybox with wget: http://www.mediafire.com/?495qvu33lj6l8 see busybox.7z (use /data/local/prepare_busyboxciel.sh)

For my purposes, I created command scripts to automate a couple of steps because typing all those things out over and over was getting tedious...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cielavenir:
No! is03_s and my rootkit still uses goroh_kun's is03break for exploit.

The difference is only after autoexec.sh.

BTW, you need su/30efgh/su as su even if you don't use my rootkit, if you want ISuhax30.apk.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] worldishis:
I would like to thank all of the vendors and manufacturers "secretly" representing their respective products for making complete and utter fools of themselves; its making everyones decision to purchase an easy one.

You have littered the web with your garbage on countless forums and vendors websites lambasting one another in a failed attempt to appear like legitimate consumers. I feel bad for the people that took these for earnest reviews and bought these obviously inferior electronics.

I wish you all spent the time and compassion in making or selling great electronics that you do in trying to lie and con your way into people buying inferior ones. Legendary companies are built on providing great products and services at competitive prices while the scraps are given to the shady backhanded dealers looking to make a living on conning their customers into buying their wares. Coincidence?

Enjoy the scraps.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chizaiguy:
By the way, I rooted my phone based using the marijuana method last night. My phone's has become noticeably slower and the battery has run out of juice really quickly! Anyone else with the same experience?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SharpIS03:
Interesting, conversely, I think my battery has been faring better using that method. In fact, after 10 hours, my battery is at 50% today...not sure how that compares to yours. Anyways, these methods probably don't affect battery at all for all we know..

I'm going to use ciel's method tonight and see how it goes...

By the way, I'm assuming you're on the latest version of Android available too the IS03 (2.2.1), right? And your baseband is 01.01.05?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SharpIS03:
I'll give Go a go, thanks for the recommendation.

As far as alternatives...well, it'll take a while to learn all that stuff...and then to create haha by then most of us might move to a different phone altogether!

By the way, au/KDDI is getting the new iPhone...anyone switching? lol
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chizaiguy:
Yeah, I have the latest version of Android (for IS03, that is). Maybe it has something to do with another app or something. Good luck with ciel's method. I might try it myself if I can find the time.... Let me know how it goes with you.

---------- Post added at 10:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 PM ----------

I wouldn't switch, even if I didn't have another year to go on my contract with IS03. I have an iPod touch, so I know what using iOS is like, but it just does not give me the freedom that I get with android. A phone with ice cream sandwich (which Sharp is rumored to be releasing on another carrier) on the other hand, could be tempting.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SharpIS03:
Ciel's method was a breeze, and no problems with su that I was having with marijuana's method.

Address Book, Youlu

Found a pretty sleek address book. It displays Japanese characters but reads them wrong since the app is based in Chinese.

I also like the app's conversation style display, but I would like it to display the cellphone's email texts rather than c-mail...hmmm

http://www.appbrain.com/app/youlu-address-book/com.youlu
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chizaiguy:
If you could make an app that could somehow display the email in the same way many of these apps display text messages, that would definitely be worth downloading!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chizaiguy:
Looks like there is a minor update for IS03.

http://www.au.kddi.com/seihin/up_date/kishubetsu/au_info_20111006.html

Among the changes, looks like screenshots will be enabled and the authentication process for sending and receiving emails is going to be strengthened. I wonder if this will have any effect on rooting the phone?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cielavenir:
As I said before, BB06+ won't read /data/local.prop, which is required to add /sbin/su. You need to downgrade kernel to BB05 (and that method is currently not public: perhaps @goroh_kun will release after IS05 Gingerbread).

In this BB08, perhaps is03break is killed, so no even temproot. really sad.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SharpIS03:
So don't upgrade, gotcha. Interesting, baseband can be downgraded.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chizaiguy:
I tried Cielavenir's method last night but I was unsuccessful because there was no is03break. Was is03break supposed to be in the zip file or is this root on the assumption that the is03break already exists? I had already performed the marijuana root, which if I remember correctly, removes is03break from the phone. If so, how would one go about getting it back on?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SharpIS03:
Both methods use the is03break exploit. Did you download ISuhax30.7z from the link I referred to in my post? I included the 7z file in this post.

is03break should be in the data_local folder, where it will be pushed on the phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chizaiguy:
Yeah, I know it should have been there, but for some reason I couldn't find it. Thanks for uploading it again! I'll check it out again when I get home.

Update: Well, I figured out why is03break wasn't there. It turns out McAfee was removing it because it is ostensibly "malicious"! Once I overcame that problem, I had no trouble rooting my phone!

Thanks again!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SharpIS03:
New software update.

Did anyone upgrade the software? If you did, did you also try rooting?

How's the new upgrade going, any noticeable changes other than what was mentioned on the information page?
