[Q] Sharp SH-06E mission impossible? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Welcome, I am newbie in android (generaly in smartphones)
I bought Sharp SH-06E from Japan (Docomo) and i would like to unlock all it's functions and add more.
I am specially interested in root, unlock bootloader and custom rom (everything)
As far as i found it's impossible, but maybe someone know how to do that and would like to share some informations. I heard that on Japanese forums they know how to do it, anyone from Japan?
Device info:
Build number 01.00.07
Model number SH-06E
Android version 4.2.2
Baseband version 1.00
Kernel version 3.4.0 [email protected] #2 Thy Sep 19 03:04:19 JST 2013
I tried to root it with my friend with "kingo android root" and i downloaded some Japanese pack named "SH06 root kit v25" but it's in Japanese language and i can't understand it at all.
Kingo couldn't see my phone (yes i turned on usb debugging)
if anyone knows sth, please help
Thank you v m

See here: there are two kits to root it (in English language) (I for myself used the "rooted tools version" and it functioned well (there was only a loop during the first or second reboot, I powered the phone of and after starting the phone everything was o.k. and went on with the root kit)):webside: sharp.cheeseus.org/index.php?page=Applications
For changing the language you can use some apps from the play store after rooting, (with the app from sightidea you can change as well without rooting but using adb)
I think your phone is unlocked, if not there is an unlock kit too

Hi,
I used sh06e_root_kit_v026 and usb_driver_SHARP_r8.5. Everything looks ok but I don't know if I can upgrade the system for Kitkat and how to do it.
