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:

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
ttp://spf.fmworld.net/oss/t-01d/data/download.html
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 am using SSHDroid to connect to the android from PC via SSH.when I am starting the SSHDroid it showing root : off .I am not getting why root is off and also if it is off how to ON that one.
Then I have connected to Android via SSH from my computer.Now when I have connected to the terminal of android there I am not the root there it showing $ symbol that means I am a normal user ,not the root(#). so my doubt is how to become root.
Is there any way to become root in that terminal or noway we can be root. I need this because I can't able to execute many commands as a normal user.sudo and su is also not working and showing permission denied.
Can any one kindly tell what to do next .This is very important for my project.

I don't think you can become root without knowing the password and with most if not all linux OS, to change the password you have to boot in single session to change that without knowing the password from the start.
You could try login, but still without the password you won't become root.
I know with the iPhone ( dark days of my life lol ) the su password was alpine, try googling around for your devices default root password.
Once you find it, you should be able to change it using, su or sudo passwd and it will ask for current then new password.
If someone else knows the default password or if you even need it, I would gladly sit back and read about it as this is my next project as well.

As i know the default password is admin.but I do not know the password is for root or general user, as when i am giving the password to android in ssh connection I am connection to the general user terminal of the android.
How to be root in this case.Is there any way if yes kindly tell ...
Thanks..

If you don't know what root is, then you had better not mess with it.
Before I answer your question, I want to explain a little about root in the simplest terms.
Running as root you can seriously destroy an OS if you do not know what you are doing, so be careful not to delete something your not absolutely sure about.
ok, if you want to run as root, two ways you can do this.
#1 connect to the ssh server on your phone as the normal user, once connected type -> login press return / enter -> wait for prompt -> type root press return / enter -> type admin press return / enter.
that should make you root.
#2 connect as root and wait for password prompt and type admin and press return / enter.
If either of these methods fail to give you root access, then the android OS has deviated from linux more than I expect or you have the wrong password.
To become root, you phone must be rooted. SSHDroid by itself will not give you root access if the phone isn't rooted. I guess "root : off" means your phone isn't rooted in the first place, hence SSHDroid not able to escalate you to root.
I didn't take into account to ask if the device was rooted, some light reading from the android market may help you understand root more.
Open Google play and search for all about root and select the one listed under apps, install, read and understand what root is.
It may only scratch the surface, but It's a start.

Thanks for you reply again..
Now Let me know what are the commands available for a non root user.
As it is not possible for me to find out a generic rooting solution for all the android as it is different and depends upon the android and phone.
But in my project I may not know which type of android to which i am connecting only ssh command .so I am thinking to do the task what I need in my project after login by ssh using the normal user ,so can u tell me what are the commands that available for a non-root user and a root user.
Thanks
All Linux commands should be available, Google Linux command line for a complete list, basically it is the same as sitting in front of a computer running linux, but with command line only.
As for a generic root, if you have a resound, I suggest following the directions I did to unlock and root with amon ra, my post gives a brief description of the steps I had taken with links.

You’ll have to solicit a dev to help you get a dump and then they can help gaining root possibly.
Su doesn’t work because it isn’t present, no root commands will work at all, you may be able to have a tethered root.
hi guys, i'm new in this forum, and i'm new to android too, i just bought a htc desire x and want it to be root, but i have problem when trying to get token id in hasoon2000 HTC Desire X All-In-One Toolkit V2.0 [1-1-2013], it says C:\ Document is not recognized as an internal or external command openable program or batch file.
usb debugging is already connected, please any one kindly fixing my problem, thx
sorry for my bad english. btw i'm from indonesia
Did you follow these steps?
How To Use. THIS IS FOR THE PC ONLY. No plans ever for Mac or Linux. Sorry.
1. Download the toolkit DO NOT RENAME THE FOLDER
2. Download Winrar from here. Install it after you download it
3. Extract the folder anywhere.
4. Run the program.
thx for replying so quick, after i downloaded then i extract to desktop and just run the program by clicking the symbol written as desire, am i doing it right?
Try to unpack it somewhere else on a root of some partition of your PC, try to unpack it to non system partition.
ok thx, i'll try it tomorrow, i'm sorry i've to go home coz it's 11.41pm already in my town, and i'm still on friend's house.
thx anyway for your reply, i'll let you know the progress
hi nlooooo, i did what u told me to do and it worked, i unpacked to (Cdrive, but another problem came on my device when i clicked get token id.
here is the picture shows the problem
@nlooooo.....i just tried your way on rooting this device, and same problem came up on step 8 when getting token id, still it says C:\ Document is not recognized as an internal or external command openable program or batch file, i've found out my device still locked, is it because of the device still lock? here's the image shown
problem solved
hi nlooooo......i've rooted my device, just try to put all the downloaded file to C:drive, and followed your tutorial on your thread, and i succeeded, at least i saw superuser on my device, thx alot for your tutorial.
No problem, that's why we're here. If you see it then it should be it. Try to install some app that requires root privileges (Titanium Backup for ex) and see if it can get SU rights.
hi.....any recommendation of apps or what to do after this rooting? cos i really a noob in android and root things. thx

Go and open Superuser app, swipe to first screen and see if the binary is installed. Then go and clear data for Titanium and open it again.
If you still have the problem use some root explorer to check folder system/bin if there is a file named su.

Thought I would share some info I found when I ran into the wifi problem on my daughter's nabi. I did some searches on the internet and the typical answer I found for solving the wifi issue was "reset the device" or "unroot and return to stock rom - flash all updates and reroot". Being a glutton for punishment, and the fact I didn't want to reset the device, I searched and searched and was able to fix my daughter's wifi without doing a reset or unroot/reroot. Before I get into it I wanted to mention that wifi failures can happen for a number of reasons so while this worked for myself, it may not work for you.
Some prerequisites:
Most importantly; you need a rooted device. If you do not have root access you will not be able to write files or access the commands to fix the issue I am about to outline.
Some knowledge of linux would be helpful, but not necessarily required.
Lets get started:
Warning! It goes without saying but I will say it anyways - you can mess up your nabi by rooting it. Some of the commands below could mess up your nabi bad. If this scares you then you probably should not proceed any further. I am not responsible for any damage you do to your nabi.
Commands are listed between ' and ' - do not use the ' when inputing the commands.
Note: The first two/three steps are not necessary but they do give you insight as to how I was able to determine my problem. If following this doesn't fix the problem for you the logcat output may give you some important info that you can google that may help you fix your particular problem.
Note: Steps 5 and on can be skipped if you have a text editor (vi or nano) on your device. If you have a text editor loaded simply edit the conf file directly.
1. You will need to run the command 'adb logcat' in a command-line window and in your appropriate directory. Adb is available as part of the android sdk but can also be found stand alone since most people do not need the sdk.
2. Try to turn on the wifi. You should see the output of your adb logcat window scroll some data. If the wifi is not attempting to turn on at all sometimes you can move between the settings options then go back to the wifi settings and move the slider. If you cannot get your wifi to turn on you can scroll the window up and attmept to find the data from when the device started up. In the output you should see lines that talk about wlan0 and probably something that says "failed" somewhere. In my case I could see where the wlan0 enabled but then a few lines down it said something about "Line: 25 failed" and "failed to parse file".
3. The file is actually a configuration file used by the wifi kernal module/driver. In my case this file had become corrupted.
4. Set adb in root mode (won't work if the device does not have root access) by running 'adb root' at the command-line. You may need to click on an "allow root permission" window on the actual device after running this command.
5. Run 'adb pull /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf' from command-line. If this does not work then do the following:
a. Run 'adb shell' from command line.
b. 'su'
c. 'cat /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf' - copy the output from the command and paste into a text editor (see note in step 6 on why NOT to use notepad).
d. Save the file as wpa_supplicant.conf, preferrably in the same diretory as adb.
e. 'exit' twice should exit you from the adb shell and return you to your command-line. If all else failes a "ctrl-c" should drop you out of adb.
6. Use a text editor to open wpa_supplicant.conf. The file should be located int he same directory as adb. If you are using Windows I would strongly suggest you NOT use notepad. Notepad will typically change all the EOLs (End Of Line) from \n to \r\n which will really mess things up worse.
7. In the file you should see "network={" entries. There maybe one entry, there maybe many entries. You can remove all lines between "network={" and "}" including the latter themselves. If you see your 'home' network listed you can leave it as the only entry and make sure its priority is set to 1 but it maybe better to remove it as well just in case it contains part of the corrupted data.
8. Save the file.
9. Do 'adb push wpa_supplicant.conf /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf' from command-line. If this does not work then do the following:
a. Run 'adb push wpa_supplicant.conf /sdcard/wpa_supplicant.conf' from command-line.
b. Run 'adb shell'
c. 'su'
d. 'dd if=/sdcard/wpa_supplicant.conf of=/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf'
e. Do 'exit' twice to exit the adb shell. If all else fails then a "ctrl-c" should drop you ot of adb.
10. If the wpa_supplicant file was corrupted then the wifi should now be able to enable and you should now be able to connect to a network.
I hope this is helpful to at least a few people.
Hi there, i've been trying to make some changes to my build.prop (mainly enable miracast...can't believe they would disable it!) and i've had a rather challenging time.
I am now stuck on how to pull the actual build.prop...when i enter the command i get a long list of ADB definitions but no file - at least not that i could find. I tried a few times, including directing the file to be saved on an empty drive in case i could not see it.
I have unlocked my boatloader and installed TWRP. Mounted the system then gone back and entered the commands in ADB....and i don't seem to be having any success. Any help would be appreciated.
thanks

Why not just edit it within the built in editors in most file explorers? I use Solid Explorer and it allows me to edit at will within the app itself, no pushing or pulling. Of course I back up my current one before doing anything to it

i'm not rooted...and i've read that you don't get OTA updates...and it's happened to me more than once that i have an issue with the phone, and i can't get service because it's rooted...
and i guess i thought it was too much trouble to get rooted, make the changes, and then unroot...but i could be wrong at this point?!
You won't get OTA with twrp either. You need stock recovery.
so i bit the bullet and rooted my phone...i was able to get the build.prop editor to work (at first i did not have busybox which it seems helps apps to realize you have root). So now when i go to unable Casting, i can turn it on from the top right of the cast screen, and my tv appears. I can select it and it starts to sync up...then the mircosoft display adapter shows that it's also trying to sync...and then it times out it seems. I've checked it with my tablet and my wife's phone...both work.
any suggestions?
I understand Miracast no longer works in Nougat. I'm still on MM with my 6P and it works, but if you're on 7, you may have lost that feature.
What about WUGS toolkit? Do you need to re rooted for that...ifnot thats what I always use to edit the prop. So much easier as it has most edits you'll make and you just choose.
you never needed to root i edit build.prop like this all the time
1. boot to twrp recovery
2. go to mounts and select system
3. adb pull /system/build.prop
4. make edits
5. adb push build.prop /system/
idk if your edit will work but thats how to do it without root and for some of the other things said in this topic you can ota in twrp but it will fail if modify anything like you just did
