I'm wondering if anybody can help me with rooting a Sharp IS01. It's an Android phone recently released by au in Japan and there is a re-branded model shortly coming out with Docomo.

Please post here if you find out anything. I'm interested in the possibility of upgrading Android on new Sharp phones. Especially if this can help use the gadget (not really a keitai) on another operator, not just DoCoMo.
Don't know if it's locking or just plain incompatibility, but the IS01/SH-10B seems to be stuck with 1.6 and the Netwalker, for example, with Ubuntu 9.04. Same thing goes about older devices running WM.
IS01 has been rooted.
Have you got anymore details or a link?
Can't you use Google?
It's possible to install a ubuntu version on this device?
I tried to find something on google, but i find only a few links to xda forums, where someone ask about this device, and many links to articles to the launch of this device on japan, etc etc, but nothin useful.
Got something but it's in japanese and translated pages are a little weird (bad translata I think).
I wonder if someone here will start some project....
New year, good news
Someone ported froyo on this device, but like usually tha page is full japanese so I can't understand nothin.
Use google translate
www44. atwiki .jp /is01 rebuild/
The adress is modified because I'm a newbie and i can't post links, but I think this news will be userfull fot the is01 owners.
I hope mods can forgive me this time (and even my horrible english)
hi, sorry to post it here, but probably any of you guys here have experience with sharp galapagos from softbank? the 3d naked eye is really tempting. however, i`ve been googling for a while and it seems like i can not do anything with it. tightly seal, locked.... is it? has it been unlocked?
thanks

Hi,
I'm looking into buying an Asus P535 phone, but the only place it is available is Hong Kong. However I have been told the phone might not actually have an English OS installed.
I was interested in finding out how easy it would be just to install a new English OS for the phone? Do I have to obtain this from Asus themselves or can I just install a generic phone OS that is English?
Cheers
No such thing as 'generic phone OS'. All windows mobile ROMs (that's what they are called and its a bit of long story why) are specifically tailored for the devices.
I am not sure if there is an English ROM for 535 but there was a discussion on this here so please use the search.
Also check the Asus site.
I have looked around and found a few questions regarding the English ROM but no definative answers. I suppose in itself that could be an answer.
I'm going to get the white version so I'm gonna have to buy from HK anyway, but if theres no English ROM then there is no way I am gonna be able to use it. I cant even find an email address to be able to ask Asus if one is available or when one will be available. If anyone can help me then I would be grateful.
Cheers

I have bought 2 Asus P535 (1 white and 1 Dark Grey) in Singapore.
Both of them is in English. Here's my headache : I cant read chinese sms (it show's squares...)
If you dun require to read chinese or type chinese should not be a problem.
Hope it helps.
Cheers!
hello all,
I'm new and forgive me if I'm wrong de forum topic
I bought a chinese mobile and did not arrive on the model chosen, but another.
I would like to find out the model to see if you can update the firmware.
I can explain what I have to look in the phone to understand the pattern and eventually find an update to remove the menus in Chinese?
I am attaching a picture
from what I understand has a Qualcomm MSM7227 processor with 2.2.1 android and interface OS apple
can you help me understand if I can update the phone with Android version 2.3 or later?
I am grateful for the help
thank
claudio
Do you have more infos ?
There is a mark/info on the cover, on the battery, ...?
Exemple of a GooApple g22 : http://www.gizchina.com/2011/04/13/gooapple-g22-android-iphone-4-knock-off-hands-on/
With hardware specification you give, i think it's maybe the GooApple G22 (but with clone it's a bit dfficult because many model exist...), and as is an androphone, you can normally install clockwork mod recovery and flash it to android 3.2 (as i've read for the G22 model).
But before doing anything, be sure what hardware you have exactly otherwise you may brick you phone !!
I took some pictures of the phone.
please help
thank
claudio
Sorry but there is too much models with this specifications ... a lot use the ARMv6 ... and there is no relevant infos on your pics ... nothing found about freesoft21.
When you buy it, wich name have the phone ?? (they have always a name).
Unfortunately, where I had ordered a phone model has seen fit to send me another model and then disappeared.
I find it unusable as a phone
What can I do? you have other suggestions?
thank
claudio
Can you check this video and follow it, let me know if you arrive to activate english.
If your menu is not the same, try to do that :
Type this : *#0044# then press SEND button
This must Set Language to English
I learn from this，thanks!
thanks for the info, however I set the menu language English, but some remained in China.
but I wanted to do is to upgrade to version 2.3 of Android perhaps with a clean version without Chinese writing.
but what are the constraints to update with an updated version of Android?
thank
claudio
can you please help me understand if I update my phone with version 2.3 of Android?
thank
claudio

me 2, at least i got the code to set phone to English language
still not able to understand what kind of phone is.
could be a G22 but I'm not sure
I would try to do a backup and try updating.
give me some instructions on what to do?
I know it would be alot of work and research, but you could go to YouTube and watch all the different videos on all the iphone clones and try to see which one your phone looks and operates like. Could be a shot in the dark or it could tell you what you have. Best of luck.
Hi all.
I have a sonim XP3 quest pro. I like it because its tough, the battery lasts 4 weeks and it really is water proof. What i really dont like is his software.
I have been (frustratingly) searching the internet about what can i do about it and found out that:
- Sonim is not making firmware updates
- the core of this phone is Philips Nexperia 5210 with arm9 processor
- there were other phones with this processor ( like sony ericson p990) and run symbian
so my questions are:
Can i install symbian (at least 9.1) on it? If so where can i find it to download? it seems i can't find older versions.
And how do i do it? I'm not an expert....
If its impossible, or not worth it, what can i do? (and don't tell me to throw it away and buy another)
Thanks.
so... my question is not even worth answering....
when you made the "scare-the-noob" video you should add "if you searched everywere and did not find it, don't bother asking. most likely we don't know and we are ashamed to admit that we don't know everything"
a simple "I don't know" would have been more polite than no answering.
thanky you anyway. at least i learned how this forum is willing to help.
lol.
hi, i nned to reflash sonim xp5700. can someone help me?
************************************************************
As a result of the search, he found an effective method. You need to use the Infinity box CM2.
With this program, a backup was made that was successfully installed on another phone. Who will help me to repackage the firmware for a free program?
I have a knowledge of computers, that being said, I have none of the Android system. A friend unlocked my Lenovo A750, but I am still unable to use Google Play.
So I thought it was time to learn how to do this unlocking and rooting thing myself.
OK simple question: how do I start? any web sites that take someone who only knows that if you push the right number of buttons in the right order you can talk with your friends.. ( if they have a telephone)
Really, I have no idea even what to ask. So,I need to learn from the beginning. TIA for your advice. I saw posts to tell me how to do things for specific phones, but I do not know the terminology, or where to begin; in other words it all over my head.
PS I am an expat in China, so please give multiple URls, and answers as I will probably be locked out of many that you supply.
I would really like to be able to unlock a cheepo "Sunup" Chinese phone I can afford to brick. ( learned that word from an old Iphone I had stop working for me when I tried to unlock it) Then work on the Lenovo, and finally on a Motorola ME 525 ( the Motorola is the wife's... Id just as soon brick my Lenovo and several others belonging to me, than her's.... the consequences are understood for doing that) .

I was just wondering if anyone can give me some specifics on the Fujitsu Arrows Z ISW13F. I recently moved to Japan, and I am looking for a phone that is as popular and powerful and with as much open source profiling as the sIII.
This phone i've been looking at is actually pretty powerful, I just want to know if anyone actually owns one, or has anymore information about it than I can find on the internet. Even through searching here in XDA, it seems it isn't a widely known device.
Thanks all.
HEy
hey...i was wondering did you buy it? and did you happen to find a way to root it?
Cheers,,
