I am slightly confused that they would sell the 003SH in China, since the whole point of the phone is that it combines an Android Smartphone with all the Japanese-Market only features that smart-phones have been lacking (1Seg, Saifu Keitai, etc.)
At any rate, the 003SH doesn't have a usable root yet.

楼主不知道你研究的怎么样了,可以来夏普中文站一起讨论。

It seems that is possible to root Softbank 003SH, i have read this in a japanese blog.
I have tried SHbreak (application that allow to root some Sharp Android models) with the SH8158U, but i have only "Exit" button...

When Android 2.2 isn't really 2.2, and is there any way to fix it?

Hi,
I recently bought a MID Vogue Android 7" tablet machine to experiment with. One of the reasons I bought this particular model was that it was advertised as having Android 2.2 installed, and when I go to About Device it does indeed show that v2.2 is installed (kernel v2.6.25). However, it doesn't operate like a v2.2 machine -- I can't install apps on the SD card, and Android Market won't allow me to download most v2.2-aware apps.
Have I made a newbie mistake and not tweaked my settings properly to use v2.2 features, or do I need to root my machine and do something more in-depth to correct this problem (assuming it can be corrected!)? Any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks very much,
B

[Q] disgo Tablet 7900

I've recently bought a disgo Tablet 7900 to have a cheap tablet to play with. In overall, I am pleased with it, however I want to do the following:
Connect to an ad-hoc network using wifi
Install Android Market
For the first option, I think I need root access. I found some topics on the internet which stated Android can connect to ad-hoc wifi networks when modifying 2 files.
However, I cannot find any information on how to get root access on a disgo 7900 tablet. I've tried some "one-click rooting application" such as z4root and Universal Androot, however had no success.
The device runs on Android 2.2 (Froyo) and has 2 micro-sd slots, an ethernet port, 2x USB port, mini-HD port and a 3.5 mini-jack for headphone.
So no mini-usb for connection to a pc.
Anyone had any success on getting root access with this device? Or can point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance!

Welcome, the XDA community is about development. There are several other sites that might be able to specifically address your specific questions and issues.
Posting a message at one of the sites, noted below, more suited to user assistance will probably lead to a quicker resolution. Answers that may apply are already posted! If possible search first.
Your tablet is closely related to the Sylvania 10-inch Magni Tablet - SYTAB10MT (SYNET10LP), where on the androidtablets.net Sylvania Tablets Forum there is a detailed description of multiple root methods and the steps to add adhoc gathered from the xda-developers Android Ad-hoc support hack/wpa_supplicant - xda-developers thread.
There are three (3) forums dedicated to Technical Help for the various models of Superpad's, a similar infoTMIC powered tablet, at apad.tv Main-Forum.
The is one (1) dedicated sub-forum and one (1) Unlisted InfoTM forum in the Infotmic subforums at SlateDroid.com.
There are also the Sylvania/Disgo 6000/AIRIS and Infotmic Based discussions at androidtablets.net of which many of the issues/solutions could apply to your tablet.
As xda pulls users from all over the world, here are a few International discussions as well regarding the 10" infoTMIC powered tablets all of which have similar issues therefore the solution approach are often applicable.
There at several forums related to devices at the Russian - 4PDA
Since the tablet is also closely related the to some models of the Flytouch there are several Spanish discussions on-going at Tabletsmania
Portugal's adroidPT APAD forum has a few discssuion's of the SuperPad.
Finally, there is a post about the specific Hardware ID's "hwver" and how to match it to the appropriate InfoTMIC Update Wrap files described in infoTMIC Hardware ID's "hwver" and updates (*.ius) which provides some additional links that will get you well on your way to resolving your issue.
Good luck
Hi there
I need to reactivate this topic. I just bought a used Disgo 7900 and upgraded it to Gingerbread 2.3.3 from their website. Since this is Chineese tablet there is no Android Market and other usefull aps installed. I tryed different versions of the market apk's but none works. All do crash.
Code:
Modell: disgo7900
Android: 2.3.3
Kernel: 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #76
Build: GRI40
The problem is, that I can't get it rooted. Gingerbreak does not work. It is trying and trying for hours but without success. There is no "Development"-Menu for activation USB-Debugg - but I installed a USB-Debugg-App for activatiing it.
It seems that the device has a different bootloader. When accessing the recovery mode by pressing "home" - "back" - and "power" it starts automaticly loading a recovery image without having a chance to choose custom files.
The device seems to be similar to the so called Superpad http://www.android-tablet-compariso...pare-android-tablets.php?t1=super2&t2=dis7900
I tryed severa methods form the links above - until now nothing worked. Any ideas how to root this device?
Or is there a chance to have a working custom rom?
Hello hstop,
I've also updated my device to Android 2.3.3.
I've tried to root the device with z4root, however also no luck because it's asking for USB-debugging. I am going to try the app you've mentioned and try again.
Also, no success with installing the Market-app...
Edit: Cannot find an .apk-file to install the "USB Debug"-app. hstop, can you tell me how you installed it on your tablet?
I did this !
On all DisGo tablets with 2.3.3 u need:
USBDebug_1.0.apk
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B7Cmt_BvYmR3b2FfeGEwc0tRbUd5d0hCaC16SFVaZw
and
SuperOneClick 2.3.3
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B7Cmt_BvYmR3MEM1LVlxOHlRNDJUNUY0TUJONUxfUQ
Some antivirus programs might show this archive as virus, it's becouse there is expolit for android to root the device.
I will do some tutorial tomorrow.
Sorry for my bad english :/
Cewl! Well done, levvvy! Cannot wait for the tutorial!
And it would be more cewler when the installation of the Android Market is included in your tutorial!
any ideas?
Hi Levvvy, did you have any luck with this tutorial? I have downloaded the above items but the device doesnt plug into the pc so not sure what to do now. thanks
Any progress with the tutorial?
Or has anyone any other ideas how to root this abysmal Tablet

[Q] BusyBox issue

Gurus, your support needed. I have a 1+1 64Gb, the latest firmware 11.0-XNPH30O. The device was originally brought from China with the ColorOS on board and the the Cyanogen CM11S was installed by a local Russian seller.
The devices appears to have never been rooted, but the root checker app indicates some “residuals” of it by showing that the BusyBox app is installed. Now, because of it, I am unable to pass the AirWatch security check to be able to install my corporate mail.
Is there any way to delete the BusyBox app without having to root the device and, if not (i.e. if I have to root the device), what is the solution? The main objective is to get the “root-free” device to be able to install the corporate mail.
I do not use a PC/Windows computer and only use Mac OS X, any way to get it done on a Mac machine?
Many thanks in advance.
