I've gotten fed up with the screens getting bigger and bigger, so I went against the stream and ordered me a Z18 Mini.
There's nothing on it in any western country sense so if it'll work on arrival is still surprise!
However, if and when I get the phone I still want to root it and eventually perhaps install a custom rom.
Since there's nothing on the device on the forum I figured I'd have to sort it out myself, so my question to begin with is this:
How do I figure out how to root it?
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
Regards.
How do I know if rooting is even possible?
Any luck rooting the phone?
I just got the phone, and I'm very happy with it. The only issue is the low memory. I need to root the phone to use link2sd and move everything to SD card. Any luck rooting the phone?
Cheers, Villu

ive got one as well you can root it with kingo root or iroot,

Sorry if I am blind, but where is the sd card slot on the Z18? I see the SIM slots, but not the TF/MicroSD slot... Thx.

Hi,
I'd like to buy one as well but only if it's usb otg capable. Do you happen to know if it can work as a usb host as such? Thanks in advance!

I found the Micro SD slot. When looking at the back phone it's at the top above the battery (slot is facing away from the battery).

Kinda new at this but decided to give it a shot. There are many variants of the SG2 and recently in Japan, AU Kddi released a beast...
As reported by gsmarena.com-"The Galaxy S II ISW11SC has a 4.7-inch Super AMOLED HD display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, 1.4GHz dual-core Qualcomm QSC6085 processor, 8 megapixel rear camera with 1080p video recording, 2 megapixel front camera, 16GB internal memory, expandable memory, Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0 and NFC."
But being released in Japan there isn't much support for rooting on this phone. Part of the problem is most of its support and forums are in Japanese. After post a thread question, user tora201 showed me the light. He came across a japanese website with a super simple root for this phone. I decided to post it for all of us to use it with some simple instructions. Thanks tora201 for the help. None of this work is mine and all credit goes to the respective creators.
ROOT SCH-ISW11SC Samsung Galaxy S2 Wimax:
1.) Head over to this blog page, http://blog.livedoor.jp/kz_gin/archives/cat_136988.html, and download the two .zip files towards the bottom. They have the labels change_recovery_ISW11SC.zip, and root_ISW11SC.zip...or just use the attachments below...lol
2.) Copy the .zip files to a sd card. tora201 suggested using just an extra one you may have around. Place the sd card in your phone.
3.) With your phone powered off hold Volume Up, Home Button, and the Power Button at the same time until the phone boots into recovery mode.
4.) Using the Volume buttons and the Home Button as a select button, choose the change_recovery.zip from the sd card. (Y'all should know how to navigate these types of menus well, will help those that don't)
5.) Reboot the phone. Now power off the phone again and repeat step 3. Your phone should boot in to Clockworkmod Recovery. The Recovery is now navigated via the touch screen not the keys or buttons!!
6.) Like before go, select install .zip from sd....find your sd card and select root_.zip..then reboot....you should now notice Super User in your App Drawer!!!
Download Root Checker Basic to verify root access. Reinstall your primary sd card and your good to go!!
The only trouble I ran into was when installing the root.zip, it would not detect my external sd card. Repeatedly said "No Files Found". So I restarted the phone, went into the File Explorer, tracked down the root.zip on my external sd card, copied it to my internal sd card. Reboot into Clockworkmod Recovery, tracked down the root.zip through the same steps above expect in my internal sd card. Worked with no charm. Im not a programmer or anything like that, so if you guys have any questions I'll try to answer them the best I can. Thanks and good luck...As always not responsible for any damage to your phone..Come on though, this one is too easy to screw up...lol

yeah but this is a question tread
Thanks for doing Cezeff. I suppose I should probably have posted something myself after I rooted my one. Anyway, glad it worked for you! Been busy as hell perparing for the new uni. semester here.
After rooting I installed 'app quarantine' that allows you to not run/hideany bloatware for the time being. You can keep unwanted stuff in quranteed list when updated as well. Only later when absolutely sure you are sure you don't need it, should you uninstall - or risk permanent instability or worse.
Cezeff, any other tips for this phone? As I mentioned before it would be good to be able to get SMS GO PRO working with the ezweb address. Any ideas how?

Hi, sorry but don't many threads contain questions? Sorry to be rude but what's the difference? Perhaps a lot has changed in the four years or so since I have posted....
If Cezeff buggered up the thread somehow, could you tell him how to turn it from a 'Question thread' into a 'Statement thread'?
yeah i got a few other tips but right now I'm bogged down with training...ill throw some up here later...im still trying to figure out how to get my NFC working...may have to go into AU and ask...
Cheers mate! Waiting for your tips. Hope training going well! Ah, I also can't get NFC going.....
well for one the battery on this phone is already great but Juice Defender is awesome...after 15 hours i had 84%..im pretty sure your aware of that one...it seems after poking around that the NFC is lost after rooting....i tried an NFC Enabler.zip posted by another member for a different variant and no luck...hmmmmm
Cheers. Will give it a try. By the way, you know those programmes that let you quarantine apps? All good until you try un-quarantining. My advice: don't qurantine stuff you think you might need later.
from what i can tell the phone has all the required libs and software expect for the Nfc.apk.....for some reason the one i got from the other thread will not install...i searched around on the web and most NFC cab able phones have the files...
libnfc_jni.so
libnfc_ndef.so
libnfc.so
libpn544_fw.so
Tag.apk + libs
Nfc.apk
the Tap.apk installs just fine...and the other 4 files are present in the system/lib but the Nfc.apk will not install...any ideas?

were you able to make a back up of your system before you formatted your system? are you able to boot into cwm recovery by holding the volume up buttom, home menu button and the power button? try to see if that works and if it doesnt i may have another solution for you...
Thank you for the guide! There are still no custom ROMs compatible with the SCH-ISW11SC (SCH-J001), correct?

Hello XDA :good:
Is anyone successfuly rooted their LG Optimus L3 E405?
I need help how to root it, Ive tried the E400 rooting guide but I always failed...
Tried almost all of the ways seen on google searches but none of them work.
If any here can help me root this device is really really appreciated..
Thank you and hoping for a reply to our Android Rooting Gurus
by the way, my LG device is;
LG Optimus L3 E405
Gingerbread 2.3.6 (Updated August 31, 2012)
Hi all,
I have a LG L3-E405 DUAL too and the same question and also tried almost everything i could find about rooting E400 and E405.
I've tried the Spectrum root method and superoneclick 2.3.3
Firmware: v10d-SEP-13-2012
Build: GRK39F
Kernel: 2.6.38.6-perf+
Android: 2.3.6
Output from Superoneclick and Spectrum root basically comes down to permission denied, phone reboots and no change at all.
I really would like to root it so i can move apps like maps en google plus to the internal memory of 1 GB to free up some space for more apps.
Any help on a method that works would be greatly appreciated
Sorry for this bump.. Just want to let others know if they missed reading this thread.
and yes, I really wanted to know if this is possible.. Thanks.
Any news on these matters? Any tips would be much appreciated. Thanks.

psneuter will not work, neither do the other root options.
Be sure you have the LG L3-e405 usb drivers installed correctly otherwise it won\t work either. You can download them from the Lg website.
connect your phone and choose pc software on the dialog that opens on your phone.
You need Superoneclick 1.7 (temporary disable while downloading and using superoneclick your antivirus as well otherwise it will falsely say it's a trojan.)
Run the program (in winvista/win7 as administrator) set on the right the method to RAGEAGAINSTTHECAGE then press root.
Wait untill whole process is done en telling you it was succesful.
Shutdown your phone and start it again. Superuser should be there in applications menu.

For who want to use Link2SD on your L3-E405 you should pay attention to the following.
On the E-405 it will not work if you only create a ext2 and fat32 partition!
Use a partitionmanager to partition your SD card.
All partitions must be PRIMARY and not logical
1. First create a FAT (not fat32) partition and choose the smallest size possible
2 Then create a EXT2 partition of 1 GB (not bigger) for use with Link2SD
3 Create a FAT32 partition for the remaining space left on the SD card.
Download and install Link2D from google play store and start it.
It will ask you what kind of partition you want to use and choose EXT2
It will tell you to reboot, so shutdown your phone and turn it back on.
Now you can remove bloatware and system apps you dont want on your system storage.
And offcourse link the apps to your sd card to free up memory.
Following sytem apps you can safely remove from the E405:
Google+
Google Maps
Google Maps Streetview
Google Mail
Youtube
these you can all download from google play store and links then to sdcard

The E-405 is not supported yet by rom manager or CWM. It's only available for the L3-E400.
As far is i know there are no fully working custom roms for the E405 yet so rom manager is kind of useless at the moment.
Only for the E400 i see a cyanogen mod nightly is being in development.
Also i have read a couple of warnings on other forums not to use cwm/rom manager on the L3 E-400 or E405 due to unwanted behaviour of
both apps like getting stuck in boot loop.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27683328
maybe you can find some answers in this thread.
Hmm, thanks , Can we expect Cyanogen 9 for the LG L3 E405 ??

I have no idea. That depends on a developer who wants to pick that up.

Hey bro,
Id followed your tips about using Link2SD , thanks a lot.
I tried linking all my apps to SD Card now I have lots of free space on System Memory :good:
I was using Move to SD Card (App2SD Method) and I have lot of System Memory consumed but when Linking to SD Card got me more space.
Thank you again, and yes I already formatted my phone (hard reset) just to set things up properly.
Now, Can you recommend me some usefull apps?
So, any news on other users of E405? Does it go well on your handsets?
Also can you share your must have apps that perfectly run in it :good:
Just got a new dell venue 8 with 4.4.2 on it. I also bought a 64gb micro sd card for it. Having a issue getting anything to move to it. I am new to android and the reason I got the tablet is for the sd card expansion which I now not able to use. Is there something I am missing or is this locked. Seems odd to have this expansion sd if you can't access it easily.
Thanks for your help on this one.

Yes it shows up there but when I try to move anything I get a error file permission not able to write.

So not sure why that write error comes up no matter what i try to move to it.

Not sure what happened I started up the tablet and there was a ton of updates from Dell so I did those and now i can access the sd card and move stuff to it. Not sure what was in all the updates one was a firmware update but seems they corrected the issue and I don't have to go and root the device for this function. Odd how that worked out but thanks for all the help. I will in time more than likely root the device but until I get better with this OS I will be happy I can just move stuff over to the sd card.

Hi,
I am looking purchase LG Realm LS620 during blackfriday. Is it possible to root this phone? Please help me with links...
THANK YOU!
Yeah I Used Towel Root it worked just fine then make sure to install SuperSU & Busy Box also search some thing in the play store to fix the writing issue to the SD card after you get root heres a link to the apk for towel root https://towelroot.com/tr.apk :good::good::good:
Yeah towel root works fine, idk if theres any custom recover for it tho, been looking since i got it, ive tried using xposed framework, but its not the same as using cm roms
yeah i have yet to find a custom recovery or any development for that matter but im sure hopefully soon someone will do something with this thing.
Towelroot worked perfect! Thanks
Would just like a custom recovery, I as well have not found one.
I have bricked my LG ls620, any chance of asking someone to rip /system/app for me, or perhaps the entire stock firmware?
Writing issue to the SD Card after using Towel Root with LS620?
Thanks for the info. I should be getting an LS620 today. I would like to disable the activation wizard and I understand the way to do this is to:
1) root phone
2) install free version of titanium backup
3) uninstall LGSetupWizard 4.3.019
Regarding the rooting portion, you mention "search some thing in the play store to fix the writing issue to the SD card after you get root" . I am not sure what this means can you let me know what issues are related to writing to the SD card on this device after rooting with Towel root and what application and process is needed to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Do you have a copy of your stock rom? Or and update zip i can install from the sd card to re write the entire system?
Yes
Towleroot works perfect!
Even unrooted on newer versions of Android you can't write to the external SD in less you root after that es3 will be able to but I'd you want other apps to you need to use
a app such as SDfix: Kitkat writable micro sd, which I used on my LG Realm, hope this helped
Sent from my LGLS620 using XDA Free mobile app
Yes, it is very possible
How can I prevent KK 4.4.4 from emulating SD card before I get a chance to root and run SD Fix so that I will be able to use App2SD please?? This problem is driving me nuts!!
Thanks.
There's no way around it. If you're staying on kitkat and want ex SD support you need root. All the SD fix is change the prop, which you can't access unless you're on a rooted device

Yes, thanks for that. But when I received a replacement phone after my ZU was sent back faulty, the first thing I did was root it but no ex SD support i.e. Apps2SD. So I ran SD Fix, rebooted and still no ex SD support.
The ZU I first had worked fine but I cannot get Apps2SD working on the replacement phone. BTW - Sony told me that they would be sending me a new ZU coz their repairer lost it a cuppla times but I was actually send a reconditioned one aka formally a faulty one. So I don't know if this is why Apps2SD won't work on this ZU when it did on my first brand new one.
As far as staying on kitkat goes, are you suggesting that I move on to 5.0 or going back to 4.4.3??
I would really appreciate your views.
If SD card fix doesn't work, it means you don't have true access and you have to reroot your zu. If you're bootloader us unlocked impo 4.4.4 is the best right now as lollipop is buggy.
Again root your phone again

OK, I'll give rerooting a go. Which root tool would you suggest (as the best) for the ZU?? Towelroot, Flashtool, EasyRootTool, perhaps another???
Bootloader on Sonys is locked initially but I have been unlocking it..... don't really know why. I just thought it was a good thing to do. Maybe I shouldn't???
Cheers.
Towelroot doesn't work on the latest build I believe, so just use easy root tool and run the exploit again and let the process finish. After done run the SD card fix if it works then you have root access

Nope!!! No go!!! This is really annoying me!!!
I've flashed the original Z Ultra 14.4.A.0.108 Australia firmware.
Rooted the phone with EasyRootTool v12.4.
Installed Nut's dual recovery.
Run SDFix: KitKat Writable MicroSD.
and I STILL don't get the "Move to SD" option with apps!!! I had no problem doing that at all with the faulty Z Ultra I returned to Sony.
I NEED to be able to do this! Have I done something wrong? Maybe done something in the wrong order? Or is this phone faulty??
All suggestions appreciated!

Perhaps I should be more specific. This is the error I'm getting and I want to eliminate it!
"Apps2SD is not supported by your device. Because your device has a primary external storage which is emulated from internal storage. You can link the app in order to move its files to your SD card."
I did NOT have this problem with my first brand new Xperia Z Ultra, only with the refurbished one that Sony supplied as the replacement phone.
I hope this clarifies my problem.
Thanks.
It seems like you want data on your ex SD. If you just wanna transfer apps download folder mount from play store
I think you see it the wrong way...if you have root the Ultra and still can write to SD card...that means your SD card is faulty...
