[Q] Rooting shv e120k Samsung galaxy s 2 hd lte

Hi, i just bought the samsung galaxy 2 hd lte (SHV-e120K) and i was looking to root it. i couldn't find anything anywhere except for this website in Chinese that has the file downloads and instructions for the process. i read through the instructions through google translate, but not everything was clear. first of all, has this worked for anyone???? and if so can someone properly translate the instructions so i can root it properly. i don't want to take any risks.
here's the website in chinese (delete spaces between the dot and com, and between the dot and html):

There is this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1484547
but for now, there isn't a 'rooted kernel' for the more recent updates that you got OTA or via Kies.. so check my comment .
about reverting to the older stock rom. You might want to wait for ICS and a rooted kernel before going through the trouble of rooting.

WIth E120K, have you tried using the LTE service already? I am really wondering whether the LTE service work outside of Korea, especially in Australia. thanks

LTE on it works great. Does anyone know if there is a kernel for 4.0.4 for the E120K. I have searched all over the place to no avail.

Google --->>> rootzwiki: shv-e120k <<<---
There you will find all you need including links to Tegrak's recovery and kernel builds for UF29 firmware.
There's no kernel and recovery for the latest -- UK08 firmware (it isn't JB There are a few requests on Tegrak's blog for a kernel and recovery for the UK08 firmware so I doubt we will wait long - Tegrak is always on the ball

[Q] New Gooapple rom download

Has anyone managed to download a new rom recently from rom.gooapple.com? I have been trying to download the july 7th rom since it came out and it kept redirecting me to 115.com but not allowing me to register or download. Has anyone had any luck or could send me the july 7th rom with the ios layout for an E907 motherboard? Many thanks.

You shouln't have bought Chinese devices like this. They don't provide necessary guide for their things out of their country. They do things in their own forums and own language.
Okay, I didn't find any ROMS for Kitkat for your device.
I just came to know that you can upgrade to Jellybean. I just saw this:

4.1.2 update was released today. Here's the direct link for download:
http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=3082485858&uk=3442944625
It's recommended to update first from B03 to B04 and then do the 4.1.2 update. Here's the link for 4.0.4 B04:
http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=3921007642&uk=3945654451
How to do 4.1 update. Remember to backup first!:
1. Download V985_update_4.1.2.7z upgrade package file and unzip the file. Under the folders there's update.zip.
2. Copy update.zip to the external SD card root directory
3. Enter the "Settings" -> "System Software Updates" -> "Storage card upgrade." and uncheck "retain user data upgrade". If this is checked, it will cause some issues and the phone might not boot.
4.Click the OK button to upgrade. Upgrade process starts automatically after a few seconds.

I believe ZTE has not released kitkat or lollipop updates, but there should be Cyanogenmod available. I quickly searched from Chinese sites and I found these:
CyanogenMod 10.2(Android 4.3.1) For ZTE U985
http://bbs.flydev.cc/thread-5719-1-1.html
[Live Team] [update fix2] CM11 For ZTE U985 special edition release
http://bbs.flydev.cc/thread-6748-1-1.html
Download links should be available on those threads but you need to login first and post comment to the thread so that the link will be visible. Chrome with Google translator is needed When I downloaded roms from Chinese sites they required posts in Chinese, all english posts was removed and they can ban user who posts in english. So just copy paste something clever from earlier posts. Good luck!

can I ?

can I install the CyanogenMod 10.2 through different forums, or through YT ? cause I am afraid that if I install the CyanogenMod 10.2 in that site, my android's language will turn in to chinese which I cannot understand. Thanks in advance.

Jelly 2 firmware made available by Unihertz

A post to let people interested in small Android phones know that the firmware of the Jelly 2 has been made available by Unihertz. Would be great if a LineageOS version of this could be made.

The Jelly 2 seems to have very similar hardware to the Atom XL, same CPU and GPU for a start. I think the device tree from the XL can be used as a baseline to create a device tree and build LineageOS for the Jelly 2:

Device tree for the Unihertz Atom XL (model). Contribute to ADeadTrousers/android_device_Unihertz_Atom_XL development by creating an account on GitHub.

I would be so happy if someone did this!!

I briefly started looking at this yesterday evening, though no promises at this point. This is the first time I'm trying to build a custom rom from almost nothing, so it will take some time to get it right.
I haven't yet received the device, and won't be able to test anything at this point, but I've forked the LOS17.1 repo and started extracting relevant files from system.img and vendor.img. I'd be very happy to collaborate with someone that have more experience building custom roms, or even pass the ball!

I just got one yesterday to play with and noticed that I can't seem to unlock the bootloader. Haven't done much digging into it yet

Me too! Really want it!

The official forum of Unihertz is down and the link to the Google Drive is also unreachable. Is there any other links to download these files?

wrong topic
And you can still use the Drive link. You just need to request access.

Yesterday I installed Android 11. Took me a while to get it working on Windows 11. But after three hours of fiddling I finally succeeded. Install all driver packages provided by Unihertz! I even went as far as manually installing the inf files in the first package. When you want to scan the com ports, turn the phone off en press up + down volume when connecting USB. Only then will the com port become available.
And disable driver signing in boot options, the test-mode and signage-off mode don't work for drivers (Windows 10 commands).
Battery usage has improved massively, approximately 3% drainage per hour stand by. Notification LED still not working. But, fingerprint reader works in banking apps. I came from Meetoul's LoS18.1, which was near perfect. But the battery drainage was getting on my nerves. Overall quite happy with Android 11, even if it's only been 20 hours.

Curious how things are going here. How did the Android 11 test go? Any updates on dev?

Am watching for development of the Jelly 2. I think this device would be an excellent candidate for a vanilla Android OS. I'd buy one from Unihertz to use as a daily driver if it came with the possibility of AOSP

Are the ROMs on the google drive stock ROMs ? The Unihertz forum seems to be gone other than their social media. Been a big fan of Unihertz products but been away from them for awhile until I saw the Jelly 2 specs. It seems a lot of the info on rooting and TWRP that was on the Unihertz forum is nowhere else to be found.
Most threads here on rooting seem to have links referencing the absent Unihertz forum and a reference to reddit also seems missing info. I made the first TWRP for the Unihertz Atom so I guess I can probably work through getting the Jelly 2 rooted and TWRP on it but if anyone knows other sources with more complete information please post here.
