G2 Japanese users , docomo L-01F - G2 General

Wanted to make a place to help each others for the Japanese G2 users.
Problems and the usage of the Felica-NFC and the one-seg-TV will be worth talking. Also about the career related docomo apps and accessories sold in Japan and so on.

Finally!
Thread for Japanese G2 users...
(I've been waiting for this!)
Though there seems to be no luck/update for us... for now...
I am looking forward for the root as well...
(wondering if we can use the existing root method being used by international G2 owners...)

It's nice to see Japanese G2 users like you in the xda! LG hasn't advertised at all so there must be really few people using this in Japan.
I've tested thecubed's IOroot10 and found that working only partly.
The docomo variant has advanced security measures. Locking the sh and remounting even in the adb root. Just as the Japanese LG OptimusG L-01E. See this post for the details.
The bluetooth hotplug method of the OptimusG didn't work neither.:crying:

Can you post the polaris office?

Yeah, I think there's not so much Japanese G2 users around here at XDA...
Good for you that you already tried some tools working on Docomo variant.
I really would love to try as well but right now I am enjoying the stock OS first...
For now, the only reason why I would love to root the G2 is because of the softkeys.
I really wanted to hide or get rid of them to fully utilize the big beautiful screen...
But since I am still enjoying the stock (and maybe still a little afraid to try to root),
I think I have to deal with the softkeys for now...
Anyway, I will browse the links that you have provided to get sore more info.
Thanks.

EDIT : About rooting
Place the ytiruces_1a in the attached zip , to the /sdcard. Unplug USB and toggle USB debug mode 2 times. Tada! You've got a broken adb root! You can just push and pull anything. Delete the ytiruces_1a in the /sdcard and toggle the debug again to revert.
The adb root shell and remounting is limited due to the TOMOYO Linux security which docomo has included, as seen in the /system/bin/ccs-auditd , which is not present in the other variant's stock rom.

Does japan version (G2 L-01F) have removable battery and micro SD card slot?
Hi,
My question about the japanese version:
Does japan version (G2 L-01F) have removable battery and micro SD card slot?
Is a device available in Japan with 32GB internal memory and micro SD card slot for memory extension?
Thanks.

Hi,
Unfortunately, Japanese G2 (DoCoMo) doesn't have the removable battery and microSD card slot as well
But, there is a small dongle included in the box if you want to use a microSD card.
Please see the attached photo.
Also, internal memory is 32GB.
(I am not sure if Au, another carrier, will release the same at the end of this month)

Hey there!
I'm an old iOS user and I finally decided to "convert" to Android, however I made a huge mistake in doing so in Japan thanks to Docomo.
I guess this is the only place on the internet to talk about the Japanese version of LG G2 (aside from japanese internet boards of course) so I want to start off by steaming off some anger on Docomo.
First of all, Quickwindows case, there's only 2 colors for the L-01F; black and white, and due to that the device isn't popular around here, there's aren't any great cases around on the internet.
Second, I had the chance to mess around with the Korean version of this great device, it supports taking pictures with the quickwindow closed, and in the Docomo version we can't (can we? ;o)
Third, again and again, what the heck is wrong with Docomo, why do they have their own Phone app and Phonebook? I understand they wanna force us to use their own cloud services and such, but come on.. at least give us cloud services better than the others..
Fourth, settings menu isn't tabbed, not a big deal, just wondering why.
Edit: Fifth, why the %$#@ did they remove the charger/cable and quadbeat headphones from the package? Seriously, what is Docomo trying to do here ;_;
And that's all folks for my rage here.
If you have any questions about the L-01F please don't hesitate to ask, I'm trying to study this device upside-down before I could start rooting and stuff. (ex-iOSer here:laugh.

btw, were you able to successfully rooted your G2? what tool did you use?
I tried using thecubed's IOroot10 tool with your ytiruces_1a but unfortunately it was unsuccessful...
any help?

there's a lot of things you can do with other variants but not with Docomo... not unless you change rom...
but doing so, you may not be able to use some of the stock apps (1seg, felica, etc.)

that's the very first thing I asked to the person who handover me the device/box...
honestly, the quadbeat headphone is one of the reason I like to get the G2...
but, sadly, L-01F doesn't have that... luckily we have the microSD card adaptor...
(and I got a free 2mA charger btw aside from the 40,000yen cashback!)
are you not looking for the FM radio?

Oh yeah, the 40k cashback was great, the MNP waribiki's were great as well. Ahh.. guess I can't complain
As for the FM radio, I didn't really think about it, but I don't think the L-01F has it (or does it ;o)

Can you not bring it to any Docomo shop and have it unlocked?
As long as it is a legitimate Docomo device, I think they can unlock it for you...
you just need to pay 3150yen...

Thanks for the reply...

Oh ! I didn't know that. can you give me some info about, which documents will I have to take with me to the store ?
I heard that, I have to be a DoCoMo customer, unless they won't do it. is it true ?
sorry for too many questions, don't know much about about these things, It's my 2nd month here.

go directly to the shops and try it...
if one shop does not allow, try others...
some shops are strict, others are not.
you may also try those small shops that carrying or selling not only Docomo but also other carrier's devices as well...
sometimes they are more willing to do those things as long as there is payment involve...
goodluck!
