As it is a Sharp made phone, I am wondering if the SH-12C rooting method works.
Attached are the latest version root tool files.
Please install both of them first.
- Run SHBreak
- Hit "Break" (1 or 2 should be fine)
- Run SHBreak again
- Hit "Copy SU"
- Run ISTweak
- "Enable SU"
Try to run app which requires root access to make sure it is rooted successfully.
If it could be rooted, I will post the wifi tether method for testing.
Thanks guys!

hi, tested those files are not able to temp root.
hit break but "copy su" didn't come up in next step.
wifi tether can be used by default after official unlock (tested here in Hong Kong with local carrier.)

Oh yeah I have asked a friend to test the wifi tether!
Still selling $55xx in HK...
I have just got this phone and just wondering is there someone can guide me how to make a backup of the existing rom before rooting ?
The docomo phone doesn't comes with any recovery CD or RUU
I wanted to remove those Docomo bloatware that is taking up almost 40MB.
Thanks.

Do you have the correct drivers installed for the phone?
Ps. How is the phone, can't find any good in depth reviews
unlockroot is mentioned here as well.
Someone has tried it but it does not work.

This thing has virus, my computer detected it after downloaded.
finally got the phone. love it. but it sure lags a lot.
needs a custom rom real bad. was thinking of asking cyanogenmod to setup a donation thing and if we all donated 10$ and after 100 owners they can buy it and start developing. I'm sure loads of people will gladly donate even the Japanese and Australian users.
EDIT: Finally cut my sim card to fit the slot, but now phone says it is locked! Anyone know how I can unlock it?

Yes, you need to go to a DoCoMo shop with a valid Japanese ID card, and ask for the sim unlock. Costs 3150 yen. There's no other method AFAIK...
Very few of these online Keitai sellers sell unlocked phones, even though now DoCoMo can unlock their models released starting April 1 2011.

unlock and root
unlock makes your phone usable on other carrier's network. Rooting gives you administrator privilege so that you can for example install "root" only apps etc.
Root the phone so you can backup properly with Titanium Backup. Also to delete cap off your system folder.
Call your carrier and explain you need to unlock your phone because you are going to be traveling out of the country. I have heard that works for getting an unlock code...

best answer for ur question
Rooting allows complete access to all phone software...allows u to install any rom, kernel, and software that u want as long as its compatible with your phone.
Unlock allows you to use your phone with any cell phone carrier...

Also what does "delete cap off your system folder" mean.

He meant delete crap, as in crap that you don't need.

Hi all
I was wondering if anyone would be interrested in helping me unlocking the NEC Terrain.. both SIM unlock and Root...
I have purchased the device, but is currently unable to use it, cause it's locked to AT&T...
I have talked to both AT&T and NEC, and both claim that they are unable to unlock the device...
I have done some ROMs earlier and have A LOT of Linux knowledge, as well as some programming and Hardware knowledge..
But I have no idea where to start on this unlocking stuff..
Anyone out there willing to help????
Regards...
I just posted some progress over here. Now that we have root, can you help with getting the boot.img patched?
Hi,
I have recently purchased the NEC Terrain from ebay & they shipped it to india but its locked by AT&T and i am unable to get it unlocked & they dont have any service in india, please share if any one has been able to unlock it or get a custom cooked rom or something to use it with other network.
FINALLY an unlocked terrain!!!!
GOOD NEWS for you NEC Terrain lover! Finally someone on ebay was selling a lot of UNLOCKED Terrain. I was very skeptical at first because I was assured by many sources that this phone is not unlockable, but since the seller guaranteed it, so why not, I got one. Now I am the proud owner of an UNLOCKED Terrain in Canada and using it on the Telus network. The phone works very well, the only problem is that the partition for apps only have 750M, and we cannot automatically install apps on to onboard the 4G storage. I'll dig around and see if there is anyway I can re-partition it or find a way to link the 4G for app use.
cheers! :laugh:

NEC Terrain can root ?
Hello all,
Saw the thread some times ago, and I just purchase a Terrain from ebay as well (not yet arrived), according to seller, it was unlocked and I though it can be use in any other countries as long as compatible with their 3G / 4G frequency.
BTW, cannot see any root progress here but I google around and found it can be done by fast boot cm-hero-recovery.img and use below command:
adb shell mount /system
adb push su /system/bin/
adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/
adb shell reboot
After rebooting, you will finally get root access on NEC Terrain.
I want to update my MB632 to a faster / more ram smartphone for business as I really love qwerty keyboard... BB is also good but not as many apps as Android do.... a physical keyboard still my favor.
Please let me know if anyone success to root with that guide.
Thank you!
Kent
thanks to justDave on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48236591
I was able to gain temp root access to my Terrain. I am trying to gain permanent root to it so I can do a backup of the ROM. Once I got that I will upload the ro.secure of my unlocked Terrain to this thread.
On a semi-related note, the /data/ partition on my stock rom is incredibly small at 787M, and with all the bloatwares, there is only 629M free, which is no where near enough for me. I am trying to create a new ROM that will mount mmcblk0p14, which has 4.3G, to data instead of as an internal sdcard. I'll let you know what I can find.
---------- Post added at 05:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 PM ----------
thank you dinokent, I really wish the way you wrote here works, but unfortunately, I think the bootloader is locked or this phone doesn't support fastboot at all. If I run "adb reboot bootloader" it just does a regular full reboot. Recovery mode works, but with just these options:
- reboot system now
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- repair software by sdcard
- maintenance
first three options are as their names suggested. If I choose maintenance, I have to put in a 10 digit password, which of course I do not have. In my opinion, the "repair software by sdcard" is our best bet. I probably need to create a custom rom and then make an update.zip to flash the rom there. If you guys find anything new, please let me know here.

bad news.....
so yeah, I have been trying for the last couple of weeks to get the permanent root going, and then see if I can rearrange the partitions and maybe even see if there is a way to get it sim unlock for some of you guys. Unfortunately I have hit a major road block. Using temp root, I was able to get the boot partition off, but when I try to dd my custom boot image back on, the change didn't stick even though the dd command came back success. This prompts me to think that the phone is NAND locked and so far I can't find any info on how to bypass that. Anyone with any idea, please feel free to let me know and I'll give it a shot.

Any new about the unlock? Temporary unlock, anything?
Thank you
nope, still can't unlock it (unless you already have an unlocked one), also there is no permanent root process yet. The problem remains that the boot and recovery partitions are locked and can't just dd a new image on to them. Temporary root is working fine using run_root_shell, but that is only giving me root access when I am using ADB.

It should look like a lot of lines of code, some in different colors. Open Logcat, let it run in the background. Open the TR.APK and it will show up in logcat. Hit the menu button to copy the contents. Should be able to paste into an email. Been a while since I logcatted anything.

I think I did it right. I ran the catlog, ran the towelroot app, it rebooted, I opened the catlog, had all that text- I saved it, sent it to my dropbox, and then sent it along to geohot in an email with all the particulars of our phone.

Sorta like cyanogenmod, don't asks for ETAs, just be patient it will come.
Do we have this on our Mega's:
Like the HTC and the newest Moto --- " /system is write protected. (system partition is locked)
Detected as Andr.Exploit.Ratc by some virus scanners. It is an Android exploit. Will not fix."
If we do then it is not good news. Since I'm not sure what the above means, I will be an optimist!:fingers-crossed:
*****************************************************
In case we get somewhere with this towelroot app, The other thing you have to do before or after running a successful root is go to chainfire's site and download the update supersu zip file. I did it on my laptop.
http://download.chainfire.eu/448/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r5.zip supersu has been updated in the playstore as of 6/18/14. This step is no longer necessary.
Since we can't flash zip files yet (no custom recovery due to locked bootloader), you need to unzip the file, go into the common folder and copy the superuser apk file. I know the date says 2008, but that is the latest apk.- v.1.99. The one in the play store is too old. ( It won't update the binary.) I removed my old supersu, and downloaded the apk thru my dropbox, installed it. (Just read we need to uninstall supersu Pro too) Update binary and then reinstall pro.
Once we have root with towelroot (I'm thinking positive here) you will need to open the supersu- v. 1.99 and update the binary. Then you should be good to go.
*********************************************************
I borrowed the following from Franzie3- thank you. Taken from the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784860
once you have completed the instructions and used Towelroot. Let's get us some SuperSu on it!!
6/16/14 For now please download the following zip located from chainfires site listed above- v.1.99 and extract the SuperSU.apk from the "Common" Folder in the ZIP and sideload the app. Credit to @Chainfire for SuperSU
- Once SuperSU is installed Open it.
- It will state that Samsung KNOX is detected and ask to disable it. The choice is yours, but I let it disable.
- Next you will need to update your binary. The choice are "Normal" or "TWRP/CWM". You MUST choose normal as TWRP and CWM require unlocked bootloaders which we do not have as of now.( this applies to us att mega owners too)
- Download Root Checker form the Play Store HERE
- Once you have verified you have root CONGRATS!!
According to Grarak- who works with kernels and understands all this stuff- He says our kernel, even though it is before June 2014, does not have the exploit that Towelroot uses to obtain root on our phone. So it will not work at all. We will have a long wait I think.
The playstore's supersu has now been updated, and now will update binaries just fine- for those lucky enough to have a phone that TR does work on. Which is a whole truckload of them....well maybe I exaggerate a little, but it does work on a lot of androids on 4.4.2. and some 4.4.3.
Just not ours I will still keep looking for any posts of info on our phone.
im keeping my fingers crossed that somebody obtains root for our i527 with kit kat
I have my fingers, toes, arms, and eyes crossed. Hopefully we'll get root soon.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I527 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
There is always hope!!! A chinese group just released a jailbreak for iOS 7.1 which was stalled after apple patched the exploit for 7.0.6 that updated to 7.1 JB. Iphone users weren't expecting a JB until the new iOS8 was released with the new iphone in Sept. And that would have been 4-6 months wait.
So with geohot releasing TR for android, maybe he can cover all the bases for those phones that it doesn't work for. Patience grasshoppers.
Too bad we can't flash from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2 then root.... Hoping for root soon as well. I picked up 200 mega to sell and all of them were manufactured on June 22nd 2014 all of them have KitKat 4.4.2.

I finally gave up on the Mega. Pulled my sim and sdram and threw them in my S3 running rooted 4.3. Not willing to upgrade that one to 4.4.2 and get locked out of it too. Maybe in a few months if someone figures out how to unlock the bootloader and root kitkat on the mega I will use it again.

My Mega is DOA. I was able to FULLY FLASH MY MEGA BACK to 4.2, only problem is, now my phone is a shiny paperweight that yells at me when I turn it on. It says, and I quote, (ahem) "SECURE FAIL: KERNEL
System software not authorized by AT&T has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest AT&T store for help.".
Thing is, I flashed it using only genuine Samsung firmware (and did it right by the way) and the kicker is I BOUGHT THIS FOR FULL PRICE OFF CONTRACT!
Should've got the SGH-I527M.. Now I have to JTAG it and even that might not work

I didn't want to spend the money for an expensive phone from the popular brands but wanted something decent. I came across the warp sync 2GB Ram, Quad Core ,5" HD Screen, 8mp camera and Sprints new Enchanced LTE speeds I get over 45 Megs anytime of the day all under $180. I love the phone but I just can't find a root guide for it.
It seems to never been rooted, the bootloader comes unlocked but has a secure boot image. From what I seen online that seems to be the reason why it can't be rooted. Is there a way work around? or a way to make a insecure img? I have tried every auto root from device/pc method. Source Kernel can be found here http://opensource.ztedevice.com/

Already tried both methods listed on the site resulting in each one failing, I've also found more people with this phone having the same issue also claiming to have tried all methods. Is there a way to make the boot image unsecure? I found one website stating that since the bootloader comes unlocked that a method to try would be to install a custom recovery then flash the SU to root. But I can't find a custom recovery for this phone anywhere, is it possible to use a customer recovery from a different phone on this one? sorry if that's a stupid question.

This is my first phone that I have had from boost, I usually have had AT&T phones or Cricket and I have had not trouble with rooting!!, I have never had this much trouble with phones and rooting!!, I usually root every phone I get, but apparently I have chosen the wrong company and phone!!.. I myself had tried every way out there possible and I can't figure out a way that works!!
Please Please if anyone finds a way to root this (as for now a piece of crap) phone then please let me know, I guess for now I shall wait!
Thanks,
Rooting Phene
Wont some great devs get us root and recovery asap!!! Take a vote now

I don't know if you still got this phone and trying to root it but if so you might wanna go to zte warp sync all things root site there's a bunch of ppl including myself trying to root it, anyway you said the bootloader is unlocked but for what i understand it is locked based on this site posts nobody is been able to get it on fastboot so if you can check it out thanks.
Is there any news on zte warp sync root
I just bought this phone today... I really like it... I'll be keeping my ears open
I sent a msg to ZTE about the boot loader... This is their response.
“ As of right now, we can not provide an unlocked bootloader. This may be something available in the future depending on the carrier's request for the design changes for the phones.
Thanks!” [emoji36]

A copy and paste I wrote on android forums....someone here might take a look.
I am looking at some stuff now. I can't download the files at the moment due to slow internet. But we can get into Download Mode by holding down both volume buttons and turning the phone on. I am wondering if we can use something like this. https://sites.google.com/site/zteopenfirmware/download-mode you can flash various files in download mode. Or something like this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2163493 (Method 5 : ZTE Firmware Flasher) , I think low level access through download mode or FTM is the key. If or when we can get a recovery on this phone, from what I read it will replace FTM
The NanDL for firefox does connect to our phone and a guy named SuperR modified the boot.img.
It look like some work is being done on the ZTE Zmax that has the same problem as ours. Hopefully it will work.
This is my third ZTE smartphone ...the other two was a pleasure and a good learning experience to root. I am not tech savvy enough to root any phone without instructions. So I join the rank with the other that wait.[emoji17]
so you guys still haven't figured it out?
Zte zmax achieved root, might try kingroot to get tmp root, from there you will be on your own, bit it might work

Have you tried this ?
Download the Rootgenius,search from google and install in your pc and connect your phone,be sure that usb debugging is on when you are connecting your phone to pc.One thing is that you have working internet connection on your pc because this root software download some usb driver file of few mb.You root your mobile in less than three minutes.

Am clueless after reading several threads about rooting this device. Some information are totally outdated. Some seem not apply to my case.
Here is where I am:
Huawei mate 10 pro
BLA-L29 8.0.0.150(C432patch01)
Developer options ON -> OEM unlocking ON (Allow the bootloader to be unlocked)So, where do I go from here? (am sorry if that really can be found already in this forum, I however did not find it ... maybe I'm just too stupid)
I love the perfect screen name.
Did you search, at least?? Look in the question and answer forum and in the general forum as well.
I'm sure that your answer is there in bold letters. But. If you don't have a bootloader unlock code, then you are out of luck, and TotallyClueless.

Well, I am kinda tech affin, and every associate comes to me when it is about computers or even smartphones, despite me stating over and over again that I actually have no clue about the inner workings of android or smartphones. Well, at least I can use the Apps better then them... (not really an art, most of them can't even install them ... and I mean direct from the google play store)

Just turning that option on doesn't unlock your bootloader. You have to use some commands using adb to actually unlock the bootloader. Search that for that thread, and you'll see the full listing of instructions. However, if you didn't request that code before Huawei took it awei, then you won't be able to do anything, as has been said in many a thread.

As nabril15 says, it's not possible on BLA-L29C432B146 or later. This is due to an updated bootloader which can't be downgraded.
So sadly there is no way for you to unlock, unless Huawei opens their unlock site again.
Hello,
I'm in the same place:
Huawei mate 10 pro
BLA-L29 8.0.0.150(C432patch01)
but my bootloader is unlocked
and under 8.0.0.145 I also had root
how do I get root?

1) Go in TWRP to "Advanced" and open "Terminal" - type following commands:
Code:
echo KEEPVERITY=true>>/data/.magisk
echo KEEPFORCEENCRYPT=true>>/data/.magisk
Confirm the entry to apply it and go back to the main menu on "Install"
2) Flash latest Magisk-v17.1.zip with TWRP

Mexxx... At one point some time ago, I wiped my data partition, so I don't know if it's encrypted or not; I assume that it is not. When I run twrp blanc, I see that it decrypts data and then I can its contents.
Do I want to preserve force encryption? Or should I set it to false?

You'd want it true.
If you have flashed firmware between the "some time ago" and now you are encrypted.
And removing encryption requires both wipe data AND edit fstab in /vendor/etc. fstab is replaced when you flash a new firmware and you will be encrypted again.
Also, if you're using TWRP by Pretoriano80 that's the reason why you can see data, it can decrypt.
Does anyone have experience with this 'DCunlocker' program that has to be unlocked with 4,- Euros?
Does it work to unlock the bootloader?
I can't believe this phone can't be unlocked anymore, if I would have known that I wouldn't have bought it.

DO NOT EVER TRY ROOT THIS PHONE OR EVEN BUY IT IF ROOTING IS YOUR AIM.
Huawei have ensured that they make it impossible to unlock the bootloader or to root. What will happen is you will need to buy a bootloader unlock code from Funky Huawei for 55 USD, when you brick your phone you will need to pay them a extra 18 USD for the unbricking tool. No wonder western countries are kicking this POS brand out of their countries. Huawei just wants to spy on us hence why they don't want us to tamper with their software.
NEVER HAUWEI AGAIN!
XIAOMI ALL THE WAY!!
guess i wont be spending/wasting $75 on this phone going to go out on a limb and say same for the P20 pro? spend to unlock it???

Yes unfortunately the same. Rooting or doing any modding on Huawei is extremely risky and made even more difficult with Huawei c**k blocking.

Sorry Sam, I just saw this. If your intent is to root then save the $75. However, it still remains a powerful phone with an amazing battery life. The updates are far and few, but let's be honest, the phone still works fine. I'm not being petty-minded, I'm simply offering a point of view. I have mine rooted with the stock rom. I haven't been able to do a whole lot rooted other than to freeze a few apps using titanium backup. Was that worth the hassle it took to root it? I'm not sure. I have a fast and awesome phone, stock and rooted and not really doing much with the root.
Good luck and decide for yourself.
@nabril15 thanks for the reply ... i have the s8+ and im tired of samsung and looking to move away from them ... i wanted this phone because i couldnt pass up the price ... im rooted and locked BL now ... so it would be the same with the 10 PRO ..... is it better then what i have .. id have to buy it and test it myself ... not really sure what to do but i appreciate the comments ...
to all ... happy holidays

No problem. If you can get this phone for 75, go for it. Updates, schmupdates. Big deal. It is fast, the battery is ridiculous, the camera is very good, and it's a good phone. So we have to wait longer for Pie which is probably very similar. So what? 75 for any smartphone is a good deal. Face it

It depends on what build it comes with. If it's security patch June or later (in most cases) you won't be able to use DC to unlock it. There are other, much more expensive services available (10x the price of DC) to get unlock code if your build is too new.
