Greeting,
It was heard that rooting T-01D are similar as F-05D.
I found a website regarding rooting F-05D, but I dont read Japanese, just want to know if anyone have tried the enclosed method to root T-01D?
or could anybody do the translation, since the terms become quite strange after using the online translators
The following link is ref. of rooting F-05D:
ttp://ayati.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/2012/01/f-05droot-1d0b.html
(should be "http" rather than "ttp")
The source code of T-01D have been provided also, but I have no idea how to use it and root the machine:
ttp://spf.fmworld.net/oss/t-01d/data/download.html
(should be "http" rather than "ttp")
Thank you very much in advance?
Update of 4/4
the following t-01d rooting procedures is provided by Magimaster
Hello.
I am sending this pm regarding the translation for flashing the Fujitsu f-05d sold by Docomo in Japan. I cannot reply in the development section due to my low post count.
My phone is an f-05d. I do not have a t-01d but, according to the original rooting guide for the f-05d, the users are reporting success in rooting the t-01d as well.
I will not really translate for you. Rather, I will explain what I did to root my f-05d.
Here is a rough summary of the steps I followed:
For starters, you need to make sure that adb recognizes your phone when connected to the PC via USB. This means that you need to install the Android SDK and the USB driver for your t-01d by Fujitsu.
I had trouble getting adb to recognize my phone, as Window$ insisted in recognizing it as an USB drive. What I did, among other things, was:
In the phone settings, go to Applications > Development and check USB Debigging and Stay awake.
Install the Google USB Driver package, in the extras section of the Android SDK Manager.
With the phone connected to the PC, go to Window$ device manager > Universal Serial Bus Controllers and uninstall (use the delete key from your the keyboard) every mass storage device that appeared when my phone was connected. Disconnect and reconnect the usb cable.
Only until I did this final step was my phone recognized and listed as Android Phone > Android Composite ADB Interface in the device manager. If your device is not recognized, you just cannot continue. Look for help about this, or else you cannot move on with this method of rooting.
Confirm that your phone is recognized as Android Phone > Android Composite ADB Interface in the Window$ device manager. Do not continue until it is.
From the Android SDK manager, install the package android sdk platform-tools.
You need download F05Droot.zip from the original blog page your linked before. I will not link to the file directly, but you should have no problem finding it. Extract the files within into the program directory \Android\android-sdk\platform-tools (this is my path).
You need to download a replacement for the file lsm_disabler.ko that is inside the F05Droot.zip. Get it from here and extract it an replace the one inside the platform-tools directory.
By the way, this platform-tools directory is the one that has the adb executable file. Just a heads up.
You need to download su. I cannot tell you where to get it. I just do not know where I got mine from, but was easy so go for it When you have it, extract it and put it in the platform-tools directory.
Confirm that the platform-tools directory includes these files:
Code:
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
su
lsm_disabler.ko
f05dsu.bat
There will be more, but these are the ones needed for this to work.
Now, get ready to root. Connect your phone to the PC.
Go to your phone settings > setting my body > step/activity counter app > pedometer use and confirm it is checked on.
In the platform-tools directory, look for f05dsu.bat and run it. A DOS window will open. This is the funny part. Unless you are doing this from a Japanese version of Window$, or from a Window$ with Japanese locale active, you will see a lot of strange symbols instead of Japanese characters... which would be the same for almost anyone anyway Regardless, you will see a prompt to Press any key to continue . . .. At this point, you do not need to do anything on your phone, other than visually checking that the check mark on the pedometer is set.
On the DOS window press any key, your will see more garbage and another prompt to press any key. This is the important part. See if you can find among all those symbols this pattern: OFF/ON. If you do see it, it means we are on track.
Now that you were able to see the OFF/ON, go to your phone and uncheck the pedometer (OFF) and check it again (ON).
In the DOS window, press any key. Your phone will reboot. The message in the DOS window says that you must wait for the phone to boot up and for Window$ to recognize your usb connection to the phone.
When/if your phone is recognized by Window$, go to the DOS window and press any key.
Again, press any key and your phone will reboot.
The DOS window has a message indicating that you must now install superuser and busybox. When your phone reboots, go to the android market and install from there when you have the time.
You can now close the DOS window because, unless there was any error, you are now rooted, my friend
From the market, install a terminal, or an app that includes a terminal. I use Rom Toolbox because it has a terminal and scripts to mount the /system as rw.
Open whatever terminal you chose and, at the $ prompt type su
If new prompt is #, type soff
You will need to run these commands every time before trying to mount /system as rw.
That is all. I hope you can root your phone.
Just a petition, post this message in the forums, as it may help others who have similar difficulties. It sure could have helped me if someone had done before me.
Have a nice one and please forgive my English.

update 15/4
On 13/4 finally i got my phone rooted
I have to run f05droot.bat instead of f05dsu.bat
After I have run the f05dsu.bat, for the steps, no error popout.
then I open the terminal type su, it reply me "permission denied".
I know it is not successful, after several run, the situation still the same.
after that have checked the contents of f05droot.bat and f05dsu.bat.
They are very similar but the f05droot.bat will push the superuser and busybox into the device at the same time.
(so I added those files in the directory \Android\android-sdk\platform-tools )
Therefore, i tried that and its works finally.
I feel really exciting at that moment.
I hope this post can help they T-01d user to root the phone.
personally I really like this phone ^~^
the su file is also important
Anyone try it? Does it work?
I have got the source code from its web
But I dont know how to use that and lead me to root the machine

Can you post a review of this device?

If you have time, can you please post a mini review of the device? I wanted to buy one too and I'm quite excited reading your review!
Thanks and more power!
Here is the mini review
Screen color is perfect except black and accurate. Speed is good in comparing with SGS2. Battery life is similar to SGS2. Form factor is better than SGS2. Camera is outstanding, thanks to the 1.3MP camera. Waterproofing design is what I like. The bad is upgrading is only possible in Japan. Digital TV is useless. Sound level is a bit low.
personally i like this phone very much especially the outlook.
my personal review is the following:
1. same as above the screen is perfect
2. the camera is also excellent
3. while you have a phone call, it change mode automatically depends on the environment
4. if i switch off all the data things, this phone can stand more than one day
(so i wont blame the battery, because I think we use too many network related stuffs)
5. i have to admit that the firmware is not quite stable (fortunately the phone can be upgrade to 4.0 after july)
for the rooting process, it seems like someone has success:
(i think that is temp root)
search "T-01D 軟解, tofu-keitai" in google (that is chinese unfortunately)

hi HaoyuWen,
i have followed the steps, when i type su in the terminal simulator, it comes out segmentation fault su, do you have any idea.
I use titanium backup to check and it said my t-01d is not rooted.
for the pedometer on/off things, do i need to press the home key and go back to the pedometer to do the switch?
Thank you very much in advance

I think I brick my T-01D. Don' know why, I do exactly the same what I have been told here... Now It ends up infinite boot loop
Anybody help me please?
Hey there everyone, sadly this guide isn't working for me. Everything in the guide goes smoothly and I do exactly what is listed but after my phone reboots the final time I still have no root access. I run f05droot.bat instead of f05dsu.bat like the user said but to no avail, I even ran f05dsu.bat and still nothing.
Anyone else have trouble? Maybe it is because I am on a certain FW? I am on 2.3.5
Baseband Version C_L1_M23
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #1
and Build number is V43R41C
Just wondering as I really want root to disable all of these RAM-hogging default applications.
Bump? Anyone?
As far as I know, this rooting method cannot be done on FW V43R41C.

Aw Thanks for the notice, of course it's my firmware. Any idea about ICS? It was supposed to come out in July but yeah..
I don't know about ICS for t-01d. My sc-01d has been already upgraded to ICS, the performance is improved a lot. sh-01d also gets ICS today.

I see, I read about the T-01D (among many others) getting updated from articles like this: http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/e.../docomo-update-ics-4-0-18-models-3662812.html
I'm sure the T-01D would perform pretty awesome and maybe pre-installed software would not be as big a deal as it is now. Maybe since your SH-01D is getting updated, T-01D isn't far behind. The only thing I have to see is if I can update out of Japan.
I don't have sh-01d but galaxy tab 10.1 sc-01d instead. My t-01d also upgraded to V43R41C last month during visiting Japan. Upgrade of t-01d may not be possible outside Japan as Software Update cannot be executed without docomo sim and network.

I'm a complete noob and I've searched the forums and can't find an answer to my questions. (I'm sure there's some answer in Japanese on a Japanese forum somewhere, but my Japanese is not up to that level.)
I have a Toshiba Regza IS04 from AU (in Japan).
Running Android 2.2.2
Baseband Version 5014.1907.39
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9-rel [email protected] #1
Build Number FFK300
I have been researching rooting on and off for months since I first got the phone and have decided I would like to root it. My reasons for rooting:
1. I want to get rid of all the apps that were pre-installed that I don't use.
2. I would like to have the latest version of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. (I doubt that another authorized upgrade from au is ever going to happen, since the 2.1 to 2.2 upgrade.)
It seems from reading forums that there are special builds of an OS depending on the phone?
My questions:
1. What is the best way to backup my phone before rooting?
2. What would be the best rooting method for my phone (SuperOneClick?)?
3. How can I (or even can I) upgrade my Android to 4.0?
Thanks for any help!!
Sam
To answer my own question, in case any one else wants to know:
Okay... it looks like I cannot post external links... until I post 8 times, which I don't really predict doing... so I'm going to try just removing the http at the beginning and see if it will go.
Superoneclick v2.2 does NOT work with this phone. It gets through "Rooting device... Step #7" but cannot remount.
Unrevoked does not work.
Z4root also does not work.
But I found a Japanese site with directions that did work! YES!!
hibari.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/smartphone/1320415141/
Somewhere in the page was the following information and link:
■auto_rootkit_is04_v0.5+suhax
hotfile.com/dl/134084004/f59084e/auto_rootkit_is04_v0.5suhax.zip.html
I downloaded the zip file and extracted it. I clicked on adb.exe first and then clicked on the auto_rootkit_is04 batch file. I just hit enter after each step. (It's in Japanese, but all it says is each step it is doing and then to hit any key.)
The first time I ran it, it did not work. The second time, I turned my phone off and on again before trying anything, and bingo: I had root!
Some of the Japanese threads were saying something about the problem with superoneclick was that the is04 took too long to mount and so there was an error. At least, I think that's what it said. My Japanese is okay, but not always good enough for this type of stuff.
I hope this can help someone else.
Thank you so much for this response!
I have the same phone, and I've been wanting to root it for a long time. There were so many pre-installed applications that are just hogging room, especially since I can't read Japanese well enough (yet).
-T
I hope it works for you too!
I spent probably the equivalent of 2-3 days searching over the last few weeks, but couldn't find anything that I was comfortable with trying.
This morning, I finally got the nerve up to try superoneclick and was really disappointed when it wouldn't work. Then I started trying all kinds of methods, and about 8 hours later finally came across the method that worked!
It's probably the only thing frustrating sometimes about having a Japanese phone: lack of English support!
Now I'm just hoping I don't break it! I'm backing up all the apps with Titanium backup before I start deleting them one by one. I would hate to delete something that is crucial to the system and not be able to restore it. I'm also looking into other ways to backup the system.
One word of warning. Your au one market will not work unless you do one more step. It's mentioned in English in the readme file. I didn't bother because I never download from it anyway. (Although, I probably should just so I'll keep getting updates on some of the J apps that I do have.)

hi!
I am a newbie here and like you all, I would also like to root my regza phone. Can someone give a working auto_rootkit because the link above is not working. I have searched it as well on the net but still all will lead me to dead hotfile link. Or someone could send me the file instead to my yahoo mail [email protected] tnx in advance
And also i have downloaded this rootkit instead from IS04 and downloaded. After dowloading, I click the adb file and it appears a command screen with commands running so fast. Next i did click the root file and there appeared a command screen with all sorts of command running so fast. My question is, i did not received any confirmation that the rooting process was succesfull. And also i have read to other forums that one thing you will notice that rooting was successfull is that 'superuser" will be automatically installed.
Please help me on this one. To be honest I started exploring this process since i have this phone and there are apps that i wanted to uninstall not unless i root the phone.
Thank you in advance

I have this phone too. And I try to get root, you can send for me the link of you downloaded and explain for me how you made it.
Other question, I can use this phone to call in brasil?
Thank you.
:good:
My phone just had this phone and I'm trying to update it before rooting. It came with 2.1-update 1 OS version and I'm trying to update the phone to it's latest official 2.2.2.
I've downloaded the necessary 256mb file update but it didn't work. Even tried using the recovery but is still not working.
Based on my research about this phone, There's no way to update without the phone downloading the app from the official website, using the SIM and au logins.
We've lost the sim (UIM) card that came with the phone. So I guess its stuck on its current OS. I'm having trouble installing apks (Gingerbreak and even normal apps) as it always gives me the error "parsing error" or something.
Is there anyone could help?
EDIT:
I have successfully updated the phone from Android 2.1-update1 to Android 2.2.2.
Download all the necessary files here:
http://www.fmworld.net/product/phone/is04/
I have used the method of updating from the least upgrade and up to the latest. I have managed to download 3 separate files for the upgrade, namely:
IS04_RC2_RC3RE_DL.zip
IS04_RC_4.zip
IS04_TO_SP_FYRC_4.zip <- froyo update
I have extracted all the files on the sd card. make sure that the ".enc" file is found on the root of the SD Card and on the "prg" folder.
I have updated it using the recovery mode (power + volume up + camera button).
I am now currently trying to Root the device using Gingerbreak and seems that it's taking too long to root.
Also. I have able to root the 2.1-update OS using z4root.

Thx so much for your posts.
I am so glad to finally find someone with the same phone, the same problem and intentions
I do, however, need more info:
Did you extract the files into any particular folder? You obviously hooked up in de-bug mode, but did you command prompt anything?
I tried your steps but get nothing to 'hit enter' on. I have also tried the other (different version) toolkit.
You can IM me or email or post or come around and root my phone yourself - I will sell you my car, house, wife...
... as you can tell I am a little frustrated ...
lets just IM/email for now
Thx in advance,
Kaz

Thanks, I am download it right now.
Also can you use airdroid to do a backup or has anyone tried this yet and maybe upload a rom that way? any thoughts?
Thanks
Never heard of airdroid

AirDroid is a fast, free app that lets you wirelessly manage & control your Android device from a web browser Over-The-Air. Just for anyone that wants to know.
I don't know if airdroid can copy all of your file to the desktop from your browser. But I don't know how the file system works for the android. So I wouldn't know if it can or is there a good place to read about the android file system? Wait I know I will google that. google is my friend. But I was hoping for a more advance person that could answer on this topic than me.
Thanks

Rooting Idea USA Tablet
Oh my, what a mess...
This post is in regards to the Idea USA Tablet (Unable to Root)
My specs:
- Idea USA Tablet (Made in China)
- Model Number: MID (Unknown)
- Android Version: 2.3
- Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7
- Build Number: MID-userdebug 2.3 GRH55 (ENG)
Issues:
Whelp, I have tried the basics and I can't get this thing to root for anything. I was able to get it to hook into the PC through USB. There are 2 usb slots on the side of the tablet. I believe one is for HOST and the other usb is for OTG (Charging). Once I figured out the host port, then I had to download the drivers for this poorly made tablet...But, what drivers? You go to the Idea US website and you get no helpful information. So, there are no drivers made specifically for this $100 dollar generic tablet from FRY's. Ok... No big deal... So, I download the default "Android USB Drivers".
Peachy, it worked! Now, I can transfer files back and forth between the card(s). Wonderful, first step down, next step was to root. So, I read up on how to root with Super One Click.
Ok, so now, I set the tablet to "USB Storage" and "Host"...Then I download and run Super One Click.
Ok, I run the "Super One Click v.2.3.3"; by clicking the root button and then all I get is a frozen screen that reads:
Code:
Killing ADB Server.... Kill Server 0.11s
Starting ADB Server.... StartServer 4.09s * daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037* *daemon started successfully*
And then it just freezes the program. So, now I'm completely stuck. I mean I learned a great deal, that I can hook up a keyboard, mouse, etc to this thing, but, obviously Super One Click was not designed for these generic tablets. I have read other articles which have suggested that the .inf driver for the default "Android USB Drivers" needs to be edited for your specific tablet model and you must enter the specific CODE# for it to recognize for rooting with Super One Click... But, god forbid, I haven't found any useful information on where that might be. Also, someone suggested to install the Android SDK and edit those files along with the .inf files to make this work. But, that didn't work either. I did everything right. I turned off USB debugging and then I would wait for super one click to come up with waiting for device...but that never happened. I even tried it with USB debugging on... still nothing.
Has anyone created a generic batch program to root these types of devices? What am I doing wrong here?
Since every tablet is different with different boot mangment. Makes it hard to make a generic root kit.. and being a frys computer salesman I try very hard to talk people out of those things unless. They swear they are only us8ing it for facebook

Rooting Idea USA Tablet
Well, this took me all night to read and learn about how to root this basic tablet from Fry's.
First off, I tried many different things and it just didn't work. Using super one click is definitely out of the question for this particular tablet.
I read all night and thankfully found the forum article on how to solve this issue on xdadevelopers own forum.
As per quoted quotes below:
.....You can use gingerbreak to root this. Run it once and let it reboot, then use supermanager free from market to rename the su symlink from /bin/ to "old" or something, and reboot again.
You should now have root ........ It might take a couple of trys but it works.
You need to download supermanager from the market. Enable root in supermanager settings and click yes when superuser pops up.
Then use the file explorer within supermanager to navigate to the /bin/ directory and you will find a sysmlink called su
You need to rename this su symlink to old - completely take out the name su.
Just to be safe run gingerbreak again and then you can install busybox from market.

Thank you so much Pablo11. The idea is to download the APK for GingerBreak from online onto your IDEA USA tablet directly. The trick here is that the brand name is IDEA "USA", but the real workings behind the "MID" is "ViMicro". You will notice that displayed as you turn on your tablet. So, in order to find real information about your MID device, you have to search articles for vimicro.
Once you run gingerbreak, your tablet will go completely nuts. Nothing will run right. Things will break and it will be a complete mess. It will however, install superuser apk. However, it will not work. You can download the Root Checker from the market and you will notice it is NOT rooted. So...thanks to pablo11, you will want to download supermanager from the google play market. Install it.
Next go into the supermanager settings and click on ROOT. Make sure root is enabled and checked marked in the settings. When you enable root in the settings, it will prompt you with "allow root?" Click on Yes. This will give you the access you need.
But, your not done, once again as per Pablo11, go to the super managers file manager section. Get to the root directory by clicking up, and then find the folder "bin". Look for the file "SU" and rename this to "old".
Now, you will be able install busybox and any thing else thats root.
By the way, restart your tablet again, and I "personally" recommend that you go into your settings> Privacy> Check mark both (Backup my data and Automatic Restore) and then click on Factory data reset. Start the tablet from like it was brand new. Don't worry it will keep the root that you did intact. You will just have to re-register the tablet with your existing gmail that you originally used with that tablet.
Lastly, use the root checker from the market and you will see that it is successfully rooted.
Okay... Now, my next step. To crack open this tablet and put in a bigger SD Card as the 2G SDCARD is way too small, especially if you want to use new roms and install a linux operating system onto it....
@njbsuperman story telling of Pablo11's method worked for me. I have a generic android 2.2 7 in. "MID" white box, picture of the tablet on each side all of that and it worked for me. Had to restart and run ginger break a couple times but I followed the directions and it worked.
Thanks for posting this, got this for my 6 yr old for his b-day and of course I gotta ****in tim allen it and I happened to stumble across your findings and your post you put up 2 days before the unwrap. Thanks...smoke blunts.
Using Unlock Root to Root IDeaUSA Tablet
I know that this thread is a few months old, but I thought that I'd share what I used to root my 7" IDeaUSA YG A777 Android Tablet. I used Unlock Root. It's a simple program that rooted my tablet in minutes with one click. This site won't let me insert links in posts (I'm new to this site), but you can find the program by typing "Unlock Root" into Google. It should be the first site that comes up.
Same here

I have the CT-702 with Android 4.0.3 and can't get past the USB connecting to the storage devices. I can manipulate the files on the internal and external cards but any attempts to use the unlockroot package (from unlockroot.com which is full of adware) or other packages (z4root, ICS Root Unlocker 1.0) do not detect the device. There is a payware unlockroot package at unlockroot.org. Is this the package that works? Is there a no computer apk like gingerbreak (which fails) available or a procedure to get past the USB business.
is there a way to root the idea USA ct-705
I've recently purchased the CT-705 and been trying to find any information on rooting this device but all if have found are other people with the same problem can anyone help

Another CT-705
@captinmudslide,
I'm in the same boat as you, in fact we must have bought them about the same time. I'm hoping that you are following this thread, and that you found something that works to root this beast. I 've been digging and trying any and everything I can find that works on other android devices. I was hoping that holding the power button and vol+ or vol- would get me somewhere. Vol+ at least gives me the dead robot, but can't do anything with it. Was hoping that if the adb server was running it would connect. Nope.
Anybody monitoring this thread, feel free to offer something that hasn't already been covered previously.
Thanks.

Holy crap, I rooted the device.
If anyone needs this later, here's what I did:
Fist I pulled down SRS Root, Unlock Root, Gingerbreak and the generic Google USB drivers.
I went into the properties of the missing driver CT1006 and checked the hardware ID. I opened android_winusb.inf and added the lines:
;ProScan plt-7035
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2207&PID_0010
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2207&PID_0010&REV_0222&MI_01
under the headings of [Google.NTx86] and [Google.NTamd64].
I ran Gingerbreak a few times, per a thread I read, but the app would hang. I tried it 3 times.
Then, I went back to Device Manager and selected "Update Driver" and pointed to the .inf I edited earlier. I detached and reattached the device via USB to my PC and ran SRS Root, which still reported an error. Then I ran Unlock Root and the first time it said my device was already rooted, but I told it to root again. It did and my device rooted. I then looked in my apps and found SuperSU installed and was able to run Sixaxis Controller, which requires root to run, which confirmed root worked.
I don't know which step actually solved the issue, but hopefully if anyone has this issue in the future, they can figure that part out.

I've been able to root this tablet using Kingo ROOT, with the "latest_usb_driver" from Google (1/27/2014).
I have set:
c:\users\{USERNAME}\.android\adb_usb.ini
with the value: 0x2207
And have used the RK_DriverAssitant available online
It takes a lllllllloooooooooonnnnnnnnggggggg time for my Windows 8.1 x64 to recognize it, but eventually it will show with:

Can anyone help me get my TABLET S (non-XPERIA) back to the pre-Revision 5 release of 4.0.3?
I HATE, HATE, HATE R5. Took away so many things that I was using, and I want to go back.
I already called SONY and was told I can't go back. I told the guy...I will find a way - and hung up.
I am sure it can be done....just need to find the software and the steps to do it.

Simple as. Change vendor/vendor.prop incremental to a lower number and flash an older update.zip
Or use AIO and install rescue back door, boot loop protection.
Manually flash either 120803002 or 120410004.zip
Done

While I appreciate the reply, which gives you credit for a post (yes - I know how these forums work), I asked for the steps and software. I know it can be done, as I did it to my DroidX phone and had someone give me step by step instructions (rather directed me to a post he had done a year before with had everything I needed in one place).
I am talking real steps 1)...2)...3)... and links to the files. Not just some partial filenname which sends me on a goose chase.
Someone in another forum directed me to download signed-nbx03_001-ota-120410004.zip but then gave me nothing more - like do I put it on an SD CARD and do something with it. How do I get into BootLoader mode so that I can apply it, etc. I have already paid for a couple of apps that I used when I did my phone - I am sure that they might work for my tablet as well.
I am no idiot, do not need Crayola drawings, but at least 6th grade steps and locations on how to do this.
I cannot believe that for $350.00 that I just paid for the table SONY would tell me you can't do it - nor do they offer a manner to go back to the previous level (1 step) if you do not like the ROM that got installed.
4.0.3 (r5) is for the birds....takes away some of the best features of the reason I bought the SONY Tablet S over something else.
While I do appreciate, and do thank/reward those that help me - I think I need a little more than a simple 3 line response.

If you KNEW these forums you would know that we do not take kindly to those who do not use the SEARCH function. It is there so we don't have to repeat ourselves over and over again.
None the less.
If you can't manage this then take it in to Sony saying that you are having issues with the camera (they will restore it to original 3.2 software)
Step One
Root your device.
See my FAQ LINKS IS ALSO IN MY SIGNATURE!!
Step Two
Use AIO to 'Install "rescue-backdoor" [anti-bootloop protection].'
First you want to download, then extract to a folder, then double-click on S.onyTablet.S.bat, this will open a menu, enter '4' then press enter then enter '1' and press enter again. MAGIC, you have now decreased your incremental, well done.
Step 3
See my Update Links NOTE: ALSO IN MY SIGNATURE AND HAS BEEN FOR A LONG TIME, others had no problem with it
Find the update you require to flash, you want signed-nbx03_001-ota-120803002.zip or for you highness LINK
Step 4
Copy signed-nbx03_001-ota-120803002.zip to your SD card. Google how to if you don't know
Step 5
Put SD card back into tablet and boot into recovery. See my FAQ LINKS IS ALSO IN MY SIGNATURE!!
Step 6
Leave tablet to boot into R1A
Step 7
Be happy and click the fricken Thanks button.
P.S this is not hard stuff
Stifilz,
Thank you so very much for the long post. I was going cross-eyed looking for something like that...surprised that no-one has STICKY'd that one.
So I checked out #1 - followed the directions in FAQ to put the ADB path into the my DOS PATH statement (ahhhhh. the good old days - DOS). I can go to the DOS prompt and type 'adb' from any directory and it will bring up the ADB menu - hence it is working.
So I went to the task manager and verified that ADB.EXE was not listed. I typed ADB DEVICES (lower case) and it gave me the following:
C:\Windows\system32>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
C:\Windows\system32>:
I made sure that the SONY TABLET is seen - I unplugged from the computer and re-plugged, Windows bonks and wants to know if I want to browse the device. I have made sure the USB DEBUGGING is enabled on the device (before I connect it - had that problem with my DROIDX). Still the ADB 0.29 is not seeing the SONY TABLET S.
Any Ideas why?
When I try running the RUNME.BAT file I get the following:
D:\ROOT_W_RESTORE>runme
======================================================================
= This script will root your Android phone with adb restore function =
= Script by Bin4ry (thanks to Goroh_kun and tkymgr for the idea) =

Device type:
1) Normal
2) Special (for example: Sony Tablet S, Medion Lifetab)
x) Unroot

Special mode:
1) Root
2) Rollback
Make a choice: 1
Tablet S mode enabled!
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
and it just sits there...left it for 20 minutes while I was making dinner. Should I have the power plugged in at the same time? Do I need to enable the STAY AWAKE setting?
Your guidance is again requested.
Please ignore my previous response. I really am not an ass - I was getting frustrated during my 2+ hours search not finding a message such as yours with the steps laid out like that - without making you bounce from one post to another - to another, it was like a scavenger hunt.
Again accept my thanks and my apologies.

Hey...THANKS. not sure why I did not catch that the tablet did not show as adb device, as I had to do the same thing when I rooted my DroidX...I guess I assumed that it would do it from that install.
Again thanks...now lets see if I can get the 4.0.3 (pre-R5) back on the tablet.
SO FAR SO GOOD. Weird that the SD card does not show from the tablet with it in the SD slot on the tablet like it does on my DROIDX. You can copy files to and from the SD Card in the phone without taking it out.
See...you can teach an old bear new tricks.
Stifilz,
On last step of your instructions...have one question.
What is the difference between this signed-nbx03_001-ota-120803002.zip that you mention and the signed-nbx03_001-ota-120410004.zip that I also downloaded from another forum message I was reading?

Well I was successful...but it killed my ROOT. I got to playing with the new load, and it looks to have kept a bunch of my apps and some settings, but some of the apps do not work well.
I take it that if I go though the process again and choose to NOT RESTORE, it will put it back to OUT OF BOX configuration?
I do not have a lot of customizations that I will have a problem re-doing to get it back to O-O-B configuration. All of my apps can be pulled back off GOOGLE PLAY. Learning that is advantageous to have a GOOGLE PLAY account for each device (he he).
There are a lot of apps that I have noticed on GOOGLE PLAY that say not compatible with my device. Any known reason why? I figured that open source was open source.
I saw in the AIO that you can change the device type of your tablet to something else. Have you ever tried that? Does it seem to work?
I have also read that the UK models have a slot for a SIM card. Do you know if the US models have it to - just maybe inside and inaccessible?
I am loving the tablet....but find that now that I am back on the 4.0.3 my media files on my HTPC will not play. I find this wierd. The 4.0.3 update - according to the SONY site, says it improves the H.264 file playing...and nothing is mentioned about any changes in the R5 update.
Also one thing I noticed about the R5 load was it would sometimes just turn OFF the tablet. No reason or rhyme to it. Ever hear of that?
I may wind up going back up - if I cannot get them to play...have yet to try copying one to the SD card and playing it. But all of them used to play before I went back down.
Been looking into codecs too - but most of the processing of streamed DLNA stuff is done on the host machine [ putting on the Sherlock Holmes outfit again ]
Thank again for all your insight.

bearhntr, I have been struggling trying to get my tablet to show up when I type in adb devices. I was having the same problem you had before you wrote this post. I followed the directions in Bluechips post for the ADB installer (very huge thanks for all those who develop these things to make it easier) and even did step by step with the video. I have also tried other methods to get ADB to work.
Long story short, did you do anything different than listed in Bluechips post to achieve success in getting your computer to see your tablet as an ADB device?
Thanks!

Esonnen,
I followed the steps from BLUECHIPS direction step by step. Are you seeing the tablet at all in the Windows Device manager? Mine was showing up in the device manager - but not correctly until I installed the drivers.
I right mouse button clicked on the SONY TABLET S entry in the device manager in Windows and chose UPDATE DRIVER...then pointed it to the extracted AdbWinUsbApi.dll file. Followed the prompts and after that the SONY TABLET was listed in an new CATEGORY called ANDROID PHONE, as ANDROID COMPOSITE ADB INTERFACE.
I found that if I did not get it to show as this in the DEVICE MANAGER, nothing I tried with ADB or other tools that used that software would work. This was the same problem I had when I was working with my DROIDX. I had thought that by getting the DROIDX to work properly in the rooting process - that the tablet would as well. It was the simple act of changing the driver to the AdbWinUsbApi.dll that fixed it.

I had already tried that player and it also downloaded the ARMv7 CODEC set to the tablet.
This player may work fine...but it wants the files to be LOCAL to the device or streamed from a WEBPAGE type arena.
I want something that will stream DLNA (the tablet sees all three of my Windows DLNA device and my Sony STR-DN1020 receiver) using the DLNA services that are in 4.0.3. It even shows me the folders on my HTPC. I can also list the movies on it. Where the 4.0.3(r5) showed an actual thumbnail of the first frame of the .M4V files - the 4.0.3 shows what appears to be a set of hotair balloons.
Touching one of the files yields the following error: "INVALID MEDIA - PLAYBACK NOT SUPPORTED" These files play fine on the HTPC and my D-LINK DSM-750 Media Center Extender (and in 5.1 audio). Generally with DLNA the decoding is handled at the source PC, not the playback device. I find this weird too.
Maybe I will try copying one of these files to the device and try playing it from there....try and narrow it down.
GORDO79,
Not sure what has happened, but my Tablet S is now playing the videos from my HTPC. The details of all the videos hows VIDEO CODEC: UNKNOWN and AUDIO CODEC: UNKNOWN, but all of them seem to be playing.
I searched the GOOGLE PLAY STORE, but do not find any codecs listed there other than the ones for various players.
I am so happy now that I can play my videos and I think I will be able to THROW them to my DSM-750 (Media Center Extended) until I can get a BRAVIA TV (hint hint Santa).
Much thanks for everyone's help.

If you KNEW these forums you would know that we do not take kindly to those who do not use the SEARCH function. It is there so we don't have to repeat ourselves over and over again.
None the less.
If you can't manage this then take it in to Sony saying that you are having issues with the camera (they will restore it to original 3.2 software)
Step One
Root your device.
See my FAQ LINKS IS ALSO IN MY SIGNATURE!!
Step Two
Use AIO to 'Install "rescue-backdoor" [anti-bootloop protection].'
First you want to download, then extract to a folder, then double-click on S.onyTablet.S.bat, this will open a menu, enter '4' then press enter then enter '1' and press enter again. MAGIC, you have now decreased your incremental, well done.
Step 3
See my Update Links NOTE: ALSO IN MY SIGNATURE AND HAS BEEN FOR A LONG TIME, others had no problem with it
Find the update you require to flash, you want signed-nbx03_001-ota-120803002.zip or for you highness LINK
Step 4
Copy signed-nbx03_001-ota-120803002.zip to your SD card. Google how to if you don't know
Step 5
Put SD card back into tablet and boot into recovery. See my FAQ LINKS IS ALSO IN MY SIGNATURE!!
Step 6
Leave tablet to boot into R1A
Step 7
Be happy and click the fricken Thanks button.
P.S this is not hard stuff

stifilz,
Again many thanks for your help with this. Not sure why the ROOT broke when I did the deed (and I was successful), but I tried to get my root back following your steps again (other than flashing with the .ZIP from the SD card), and I cannot seem to get my ROOT back. Neither the AIO or the ROOT W/RESTORE works.
I wanted to use the AIO to turn off the OTA prompt and run a few of the tweaks, but each time I run it - the screen goes red and tells me I have to ROOT.
Any ideas where I am going wrong?
Much Thanks
can anyone tell me the main differences between the first ics release and the r1a?
sony tablet s 4.0.3 r5?
Personally I know that many people come to know about looking for it and I've spent hours and hours looking for a way to rooted my tablet and still nothing ...
Really there is still no way to update the sony tablet s 4.0.3 r5?
Nor has the downgrade to another rom?
I've looked almost everywhere but to no avail. help me.
Anyone know how to root a Sharp SH-02E (ICS 4.0.4)? Even a temporary root is fine, I only want to install a particular apk in /system/app.
Many thanks.
I am looking for the Sharp Aquos Zeta root also, not for me but for my friend

Tried and failed.
There's a discussion on a Japanese BBS that I think is onto something. Unfortunately there's a stupid rule here that means I can't post a link to it. The page title is '【ROM焼き】docomo AQUOS PHONE ZETA SH-02E root1' and it should be the top result on Google for 'sh-02e root'. The fun starts at post 75.
If we can just get ROOT and Custom Recovery on this device - it simply becomes the most powerful and advanced communicator in the world.. However no root - no life..
Two things:
Any luck with a custom recovery yet?
And can anyone dump the kernel and stock rom?
Happy to give it a crack...

I have a sh203 and I would like to root my phone also
>_<
Arrgh, this is so frustrating. You look on the 2ch thread and you can see they've done it. Temp root, MIYABI permanent root, they've done it all. The instructions aren't too hard to follow but I cannot for the life of me find the password (キーワード) required to download the files from axfc.net. If I had those files I could root the phone and post a guide here in English. For goodness sake it's staring me right there in the face and there's not a thing I can do about it. And of course because this is XDA, I can't even post you a link to the thread. It's the same thread title as earlier. You want to start from post 542 onwards, if you want a try yourself.

yes , please guide me how to root the phone permantly , thanks a lot !!
OK I've made some progress. I've got a temporary root, and am three hex numbers away from a full root. You'll need
The Sharp USB drivers, that are on Sharp's developer site.
ADB, as usual
The guide itself, which I can't like to. Post 672 on the 2ch thread.
The extra files, likewise. Post 680.
.
It's well written and pretty straightforward. Only minimal use of Google Translate will be necessary.
In the guide you'll find three lines of the form
Code:
./acdbwritevalue <address> <value>
where <address> and <value> are hexadecimal numbers.
The problem is that the guide is written for build number 01.00.05, the latest one. Unfortunetely I'm stuck on 01.00.03, so while the <value> numbers are the same, the <address> numbers are differrent, and I need to find the right ones. If you're on 01.00.05 feel free to go through the guide and share your results. Alternatively, if you know how to force the phone to update without being in Japan on Docomo, please share that too.

Thanks a lot. Luckily I came to Japan for Vacation and was able to find someone else to lend me a Usim card to update. DoCoMo are worse than Motorola, Apple and ATT when it comes to restricting your phone. Hell, I can't even use the native FM function without DoCoMo. How can Sharp expect to come out of the hole of bankruptcy when doing this sort of business? Look at the crappy Samsung company. Awful phones that everyone buys because they decided to be "untied" to companies at the beginning and for that reason they owned the market.
If Japan is really serious into getting its technological market back, better start uncopying the USA practice of enslaving their phones and tablets to telecomunication companies.
It's a shame that the best phone right now, the Sharp Aquos Zeta Sh-02e, with its awesome new screen and specs, is going to the trash as if it was a failure, just because they don't make deals with companies outside Japan.
16MPixel CAMERA!!! IGZO ultra clear screen!!! Quad Core!! 2gb Ram!! all the specs of all the other phones plus like 30 that none of them have!! A total shame, Sharp!
Find it carefully and you will find a good guy have written a script for temp root, I used the script to have my SH-02E rooted.
And, as far as I can read the topic, the unlock file is for NAND crack and may write to recovery area.
I don't test that coz of warranty, the reason I want to root is to put some message backup back(something like LINE) and remote control (VNC server for example)
And, yes, you can find the temp root solution for both 1.0.4 and 1.0.5, but no 1.0.3, good luck!

Hi rotalume
thanks for the note... can i ask a favor? i really need some help to install the SH-02E driver in windows.
tried to download the file from sharp's web, but after executing the install exe file, a bundle of unreadable signs come out, and i check my device manager, there is not SH-02E USB handler or SH-02E modem. I just want to make use of Helium (backup) to extract / restore apps and data...
thank you for your help in advance.
P.S. I guess to get the temp root script pushed to SH-02E, this driver is essential as well.
thanks again

The one you've installed is not ADB Driver, check ADB driver at developer site(I'm to young to post a link )
File name will be given as this form : usb_driver_SHARP_r6.10.zip
Download and extract, then install the driver by device manager.
And, I've used Carbon before but in vain coz of ADB driver(the author had told me), I don't know if this issue has been solved.
For the files, sorry guys, I've found someone at other forums has used them for commercial purpose(it's a shame that ppl of my country is included), so the best I can give is to tell you the clue.
You can post your question and I will do my best, but no file will be provided atm.

Hi all,
EDIT
Thanks to techdudester on the second page, getting rid of the malware is now even easier!
Just flash the image he found here with the following procedure and you're good to go!
Instruction:
1. Flash the new ROM.
a. Get the ROM here . (Use this ROM only if you have a Venstar V140D tablet!)
b. Follow the linked tutorial to install the flash software and flash the new ROM on your device with: Phoenix Suit.
Voila, ready!
Enjoy your malware free tablet!
Tips and tricks. (or something...)
Get adb working (needed for all the other tricks down below):
1. Download the Google development tools (sdk) here and install them on your computer. I assume you have windows 7 installed during the rest of this tutorial.
2. Connect your device to your computer and make sure it is installed correctly.
a. Connect your device while its powered on via USB to your pc.
b. Go to Start, right click "My Computer" and select "Properties". Click "Device Manager".
c. Right click the Android device with the exclamation mark and select "Update Driver Software...".
d. Select "Browse my computer for driver software".
e. Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer".
f. Keep "Show All Devices" selected and click Next.
g. Click "Have Disk..." and click "Browse..."
h. You can find the drivers in the "SDKInstallLocation"\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver directory and click OK. Replace SDKInstallLocation with the location that you selected during installation of the SDK.
i. Select the "Android ADB Interface" driver from the list and click Next.
j. Confirm installation by clicking on "Yes". Sometimes you also have to click on "Install" if a screen pops up to ask you again if you really want to install the driver...
k. Click "Close".
To use it:
Open a command prompt (in search type "cmd" followed by ENTER) and go to the following directory ""SDKInstallLocation"\sdk\platform-tools".
If you want a backup of your tablets system directory (highly recommended!) use:
"adb pull /system C:\system"
where C:\system is the target location on your local computer where you want the backup of the system directory.
Remove the update package (this doesn't work for updating the tablet, so, useless.)
adb remount
adb shell
cd system/app
rm Update.apk
exit
Remove the unwanted apps (dragonfire.apk etc)
adb remount
adb shell
cd system/preinstall
rm *
exit
If you would like to have your tablet in the correct time zone after factory reset, you will have to adjust the build.prop file.
First you need to get it to your pc so you can edit it:
in the command prompt window and at the same location as in the tutorial above type "adb pull /system/build.prop C:\temp\build.prop".
Just in case, make a copy of the build.prop in Windows Explorer so you always have the original file if something goes wrong.
Now you can edit the build.prop, but DON'T EDIT IT WITH THE WINDOWS NOTEPAD! Use Notepad++ or similar to edit the build.prop.
After you made the changes (and be careful here, you could end up with a tablet that does not want to boot up, solution further down below) you have to upload the file back to your tablet.
in the command prompt type:
adb remount
adb push C:\temp\build.prop /system/build.prop
adb shell chmod 644 /system/build.prop
Don't forget the last line! If you do not chmod the file (set the correct permissions) your tablet will not boot up.
Changes in the build.prop:
Time zone:
Default time zone is "persist.sys.timezone=Europe/London"
you can change this to your locale time zone like "persist.sys.timezone=Europe/Amsterdam" (for the netherlands )
Search the internet for valid time zones.
Change the default language:
The default language is determined by these two values in the build.prop:
persist.sys.language=en
persist.sys.country=US
For dutch change them to:
persist.sys.language=nl
persist.sys.country=NL
and again, search the internet for valid language values.
Higher brightness after factory reset:
Add the following line to the build.prop file (at the top of the file)
ro.ph.def_brightness=225
You pushed the build.prop without changing the permissions:
No problem. Just connect your booting tablet to the PC, install the driver if its not installed correctly like explained in the tutorial, and then change the rights via adb. It's no problem that it's not fully booted!
in a command prompt in the adb directory:
adb remount
adb shell chmod 644 /system/build.prop
adb reboot
If you pushed a wrong non functioning build.prop, just use this method to push the original build.prop (you know, the copy you made ) back to the device (followed by setting the correct permissions of course).
Remove the (in my opinion) irritating boot sound:
adb remount
adb shell
cd system/media
rm boot.wav
exit

I bought the same tablet for my daughter. She's (and so am I) suffering from a lot of annoying popups and ads.
Thanks for sharing your instructions here, very hard to find them!
Since I'm a complete newbie: one important question. When you flash the ROM, all of the apps (games) will be removed I guess?
Second question: can you put the stock rom on a different location? Both of the links (including Filedropper) don't contain any files...
Thanks!

Yes, all applications will be removed. As soon as you configure the tablet again with the same gmail account, it will probably start installing the applications and games automatically, but in game progress will be lost for most (not online) games.

Is that the firmware that I provided?
If not, try to download it again.
If so, I think that your tablet has a newer firmware than this one. You could contact the seller of your tablet for the current (latest) firmware for this tablet.
If you get a newer firmware, please share

Not sure. Will upload it again this weekend just to be sure that it's not my uploaded image. (I will let you know once I've done that)
You can, on the other hand, contact the supplier (where you bought the tablet) and ask them for the latest version of the ROM. I would also be interested in that

Te real FIX is In!
Ok, i have one of these allwinner, Venstar, "whatever", A33 D140v tablets. It had all the usual problems and more, because the first thing I tried, was to use the built in recovery to "restore to factory". This made things even worse, because after the recovery, I couldn't reach the Google authentication servers.
I am pro tech with 25 years in the trenches and I have to admit this thing really threw me for a loop, because I spent an entire day researching the solution, installing Android SDK, drivers, Phoenix Suit, Live Suit, etc. These were all very complicated "solutions" that took me exactly nowhere. I finally found the answer in a rather stupid Youtube video.
The REAL answer is actually very quick and easy compared to all these other recommended methods.
In the first place, model V140d image is only used for these infected tablets. The actual model is V11 and once you use the quick restore method I discovered, you will have a malware free V11 model. The whole secret to this method, is the fact that these units were designed to be quickly, automatically and completely restored in less that 5 minutes through the use of their built in micro SD slot.
Imagine that!
If you check your tablet that came new in the box as something other than V140d, the method I used will most probably not work for you.
Anyway, the quick method I discovered, can be seen on my own tech support site. To find it, Google: Just Call Techdude
Then click on the support link at the top of the page on my site and all will be revealed.

Hi techdudester,
The combination "pro tech with 25 years in the trenches" and "very complicated "solutions"" sounds a bit strange.
But either way, a THANK YOU is in order!
The ROM you found works on my tablet (flashed yesterday) and so far so good. No popups and no unwanted application downloads!
I will adjust my initial post to incorporate this image.
