Request for Japanese SHARP DIAG driver! - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi, I have a SHARP SH-06E and I successfully turned on its DIAG mode.
Now I have some devices not recognized, the HW IDs are below:
USB\VID_04DD&PID_96CD&REV_0228&MI_02
USB\VID_04DD&PID_96CD&MI_02
USB\VID_04DD&PID_96CD&REV_0228&MI_03
USB\VID_04DD&PID_96CD&MI_03
I cannot find its driver anywhere...
Can I mod the HTC/Moto one and force it installed? I want to use QPST to explore its internals.

Hello. How do did you enable in this mode smartphone Diag mode? You can link to the manual?

Temp root, and then run this it will allow DIAG.
Then setprop, see init.qcom.rc for details.

IIUC, diag mode drivers should be same for all Snapdragon (600 here) devices. Anyway it's pretty easy to edit driver ID and force installation.
Please keep us in touch, enabling QPST access will be great.
Also maybe you know is there any way to enter recovery without ADB?

TWO DIFFERENT rootkits translated and uploaded
But please note that I've had to implement a script that only allows one download per 24 hours because there has been some abuse, and my hosting plan doesn't offer a lot of traffic.

Thank you, I used the Sharp Android Rooting Tools version 6.1 / 6.01.2014 and it functioned well.
You did a good job

Best regards for all of you!

Welcome!
No, I'm afraid not. Sharp's (and all of Japanese manufacturers') smartphones use highly customized versions of Android. Your only chance to upgrade to a higher version is when Sharp/Docomo release it. Still, you will need to have installed all minor (software) updates before that. What this means: Once a new version of Android is released, send your phone to someone in Japan (e.g. the seller you bought it from) to update to latest build version, then upgrade Android, then return to you. Everything else - you risk bricking the phone.
What you can do now that you have root... Install Titanium Backup Pro to make backups of /system apps, then uninstall them (but make sure you read on Japanese sites what can and what can't be disabled unless you want to brick your phone).
Another thing you can do is install Link2SD to integrate updates of built-in apps into /system (overwrite the built in apps with newer versions). This, however, is not really necessary now that the phones come with 8-16 GB of onboard storage -- used to be important for phones like my 005SH or SH-01D where available ROM space was 200 MB and 850 MB respectively.
Yet another thing you can do is install AutoStarts to disable certain apps from launching when the phone boots, e.g. OneSeg TV and many others -- this will make the phone work faster. But then again, the SH-06E is pretty powerful... how much faster do you want it to be?

Thank you very much for this reply! That's very kind of you. My phone has some little fault (software). When I'm using the lock screen (trying to unlock) the phone resets itself. That's the one problem I have at the moment. My sharp is new and really great but I have little kids and I'm afraid that one day they may use my phone.
I thought if my phone is rooted I can upgrade the system to kitkat or normal jellybean ( not branded) and fix that problem.
Looks like I have only two options. Sell it on ebay or try it to do some upgrade. There are some apps on google play, maybe mobile odin pro or something? Any ideas?
regards for all

Hm... resetting when unlocking the screen... sounds weird. A friend has this phone, and my brother is still waiting to receive his in the next couple of days. But I haven't heard of any such issue with it. What is your build version? The latest one is 1.00.07. I read in the updates list that various bugs have been fixed but no mention of yours.
Have you disabled any apps? Maybe you can try re-enabling everything, then resetting to factory settings --- NEVER reset to factory setting if you have disabled any apps. Not sure about a rooted SH-06E.
I am sure that Android 4.3 will roll out some time this year for the SH-06E. You can upgrade it then. I might be able to help you with that but we'll see once the update comes out.

I did uninstall actually some apps but after when I restored the system everything was ok until I started to install google apps and the others. There may be some conflict. But obviously I'm not sure.
This phone is really pretty so perhaps I will not take a risk but who knows...
It would be nice if you could help me with installation of android 4.3. I have tired to find some information on Japanese websites, a there is some "img files" but those files are to small so perhaps it's not the system.
My build version is 1.00.07.
Kind regards
A little correction. I think I know what the problem is. I did not make an update of google keyboard and the problem gone. At this moment of course, after all day of using my Sharp. I hope this can be helpful for somebody.

Have you finally managed to get QPST worked?
I really want to use EDGE on my SH-06E but it seems that I have to enable it myself with QXDM.
I saw some Japaneses use HTC Diag driver on Xperia Z Ultra and it worked. Perhaps it would work with SH-06E.

hi there,
I just wondering, is it possible to upgrade to the latest (software/firmware/OS) SH-06E outside Japan? can I directly update just like ordinary android phone by OT using wifi?
thanks before

[Q] ZTE Supreme

Alright so two new phones, moto g and desire 4g lte out, the desire for vm. Anyone have anythoughts?

yea thats a real big problem, very few phones from vm have development on them
ZTE is a company pretty much in the pocket of virgin mobile usa in the sense that they lock their devices boot system up so roming is a complete nightmare. check out the other zte branded devices by vm and youll notice outside of root..nothing has occured on those devices. and not for a lack of trying. the same goes with vm's kyocera branded devices. take a look at vm's dwindling line up of other manufacturers versus these "no brand" devices..most of them are zte or kyocera...avoid.
Root method?

Root for now. Might be all there will be. ZTE devices from virgin are notorious for protected boot...unless a damn good developer like jcase or someone that capable buys or has it donated,dont expect even a recovery for it.
Yeah I doubt any roms or recoveries will come out... I'm trying to mess with the WiFi tethering just haven't had any time...

Just got this too. Amazing phone for the price. Did you guys do the full root (part a) or partial root (part b), and which kernel did you have success with? Hopefully we can rom it later but just root access would be great to tether and root apps. Thanks for your help.

Literally just download that zip file and run it... do not do the kernel. This is only a root... I'm testing recoveries now...
As for the phone... it is wonderful! Just as fast as an sIII but much better pics and web browsing (and no touchwiz!!!). Its no s4 or htc one, but it is one great phone... only thing- touch buttons sometimes do not work well, especially with a case, but it will get better with more use...

Rooting
The software posted here worked perfectly. Just make sure you have the USB connection set to "connect to PC software" for it to work - otherwise the program just sits there.
Hooray for adblock!
Boot sound
Now with root I was able to remove the horribly annoying Virgin Mobile boot sound - it's located in system/etc -> Bootsound_virgin.ogg - I just added bak to it. Now quiet boot!
Rooted!!! So fast an easy glad I didn't buy another HTC

I have the same problem too! I even tried to install google play service manually with latest apk files, but it doesn't work. Plus, I can't even use any google apps. Very frustrating. I tried to ask for help to the support, but they didn't care anything. Shame on Huawei, I would never buy Huawei devices anymore
I had the same issue, but I fixed it. The problem is my device came with Chinese firmware on it, which as you already know after the last update doesn't support Google services and all of the related apps.
The solution is to change your mediapad's firmware with no Chinese one. I downloaded mine from here: romfirmware.com/2017/08/03/huawei-mediapad-m2-8-0-m2-801w/
Definitely works. Wish you luck!
P.S. Bear in mind that you will loose all of your personal data and installed apps doing so. I recommend to backup your entire device and later to try to restore it on the new firmware - it is not so easy in my case but in the end it worked.

Thank you so much for the information. I'm going to try this way
No Google
Yep I got the same problem. Update stopped google working.
I side loaded some things but Chrome worked for a short period and then stopped working again. I tied Opera and it was fine so only a Google thing.
I then attempted to flash older firmware and did something wrong as I completely hard-bricked my device. Fastboot mode works but no other mode works. I'll be posting a 'help please' elsewhere in the forums. Very f'ed off about it, but the downsides of buying off AliExpress, it's going to be Chinese firmware. Might go buy a Samsung form the shop down the road (sigh).
I updated to B217 and have the same problem that all Google things stop working.
After hours of searching I have successfully downgrade my M2-801W from B217 (EMUI 4, Android 6) to B019 (EMUI 3, Android 5).
Now all Google things work fine as before.
I will post the guide and the necessary files soon.

Installing Android One on Nokia X7

I have a nokia X7 for now around two weeks and I quite good with it.
But i wonder is someone has tried or know about if it is possible to flash the pure android one version. The one that comes in the 8.1 global version on the X7.
Thanks!
I need help converting my x7 to 8.1
Hello all, I guess i'm pretty late to the party. I'm from Bangladesh, and I'm looking for a DIY method to change my chinese x7 rom. Can anyone help??

Yea i already read that. He have all the access. He can do. What i mean is we can't directly do this without unlocking bootloader. But he can via remot acces. He will charge 5dollars for one conversion. Pretty decent. I also waiting for my 8.1 to unlock the bootloader and flash China Rom

Why would you flash CN rom? Doesn't android one better? I had X7 6gb ram, let say i successfully convert to android one ver (8.1), 8.1 have 4gb ram would it matter? I mean the system will confused? Or it is automatically adjust? Or maybe going to brick?

Actually i am an old user of Nokia 7+. After unlocked bootloader in 7+ i just flashed CN rom and i really like it. Some of the features seems pretty good for me like Face Unlock, long screenshot, Screen record, Double tap to sleep, Navigation bar key adjustment, call recording, etc etc. Also i feel the UI is slightly polished and looks good. After selling 7+ i bought 8.1. But need some above mentioned features. Thats why i am waiting for 8.1 bootloader unlock.. Stock is good and fast. Smooth enough. But just want to try CN rom too..
Well, Android One is good too. U can convert to 8.1. Ram does not matter. It won't brick.
Hey ! I found this X7 with Global firmware.https://www.aliexpress.com/item/NOK...7.html?spm=2114.search0104.0.0.10ab6000CidjVh
Does this global firmware means gonna be stuck on Android 8.1 and no more updates ?
I had my X7 converted into a global 8.1 running Android One using Techmesto for $10.
https://shop.techmesto.com/product/convert-nokia-x7-to-global-variant-nokia-8-1-with-android-one/
Was a pretty easy process, ordered, got a email about it to organize a time when they can do it.
The process was simple, just to install TeamViewer on a PC (with LAN port, it needs a LAN port to connect to the internet not WiFi for some reason).
They connected to it, has me connect the phone and enable USB Debugging, and they did the rest remotely.
The guy then logged in, got to work and in about 30 minutes it booted up, saw Android One and immediately got my Jan security update. I can recommend their services, very happy with it now!

I had my X7 converted into a global 8.1 running Android One using Techmesto for $10.
https://shop.techmesto.com/product/convert-nokia-x7-to-global-variant-nokia-8-1-with-android-one/
Was a pretty easy process, ordered, got a email about it to organize a time when they can do it.
The process was simple, just to install TeamViewer on a PC (with LAN port, it needs a LAN port to connect to the internet not WiFi for some reason).
They connected to it, has me connect the phone and enable USB Debugging, and they did the rest remotely.
The guy then logged in, got to work and in about 30 minutes it booted up, saw Android One and immediately got my Jan security update. I can recommend their services, very happy with it now!

Ah sorry, the price must've increased. It was $10 at the time of writing.
And yes, I got an OTA update to January's security update straight away. I suspect it'll continue to get updates, but the Jan update is the latest so can't say much right now

Please keep us updated if you could. I am planning to buy an X7 to save some money. Its 150$ cheaper in my country. Minus the 15$ service, this is not bad!
Thank you!

I'll def update as soon as I get the February update.
Sorry for the horrible quality, had to use my laptop camera.
https://imgur.com/a/VwDhW0d
I haven't come across any issues with running Android One. The NFC doesn't work but that's expected as the X7 doesn't have NFC.
I also can't record calls anymore, which was super easy with the China ROM. Apparently Google cracked down on call recording apps in Android Pie.
But everything seems fine, seems to work as they should. The camera , voice, dual sims, hotspot all worked soo far.

Hi,
Sorry, I've never done that before, but if I understand correctly, it's working.
I opened up Google Maps, selected Location Sharing and selected to share via a link.
I can open that link on my PC and see it, so I think it's working

your answer is very useful for me. I want to buy this phone but I don't know is the OTA update successful? Could you tell me about it?

I'm going to buy OP7T, have some questions

Hey guys,
I currently have a OP5 and I always root my devices to get flawless Adblocking, theming, and google feed on OP launcher. Are these already possible on the OP7T or do we have to wait for an official TWRP? if It's possible is it safe to do?
Yeah, it is safe to do. I just got mine yesterday and fully rooted it. The best and safest tutorial is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81277507&postcount=613
If you just use any patched boot.img you'll find, it could be the wrong version (there is Europe, Global and Indian) or maybe a wrong OOS version. The safest way is to extract the boot.img yourself and let Magisk Manager patch it. These steps are very easy and took me not even 10 minutes. Also you can keep root if you're doing an OTA update. Just be sure to not reboot once it prompts you and to tell the Magisk Manager to install Magisk on the inactive slot.
Blokada does great adblocking without the need of root, as for theming and what not, I suppose you would wanna root, which isnt too hard to do

I shifted from OP5T to OP7T 4 months back, the rooting seems little different here coz of no TWRP. But there are no issues. Everything works flawless and easy like OP5.
Dont buy it you will regret your decision if you are custom rom lover
For Adblocking you do not need root. Using private DNS is enought

To add more information to my previous post,
Adways works, adblock through xposed also works, google feed through magisk works, through xposed also works. Substratum theming also works flawless.
Few Screenshots are attached.
Guys, on a side note on rooting. Are you all able to use your banking sites? I'm told they don't work well on a rooted phone
Thanks

Thank you Aswin and thank you all.
So to sum it up, everything I can do with my OP5, already works perfectly as long as I am good with tinkering my device and follow good tutorials. Except for installing ROMs which still requires TWRP to be fully compatible.
I guess I'll get it as soon as the prices go down in my country.

You can install ROMS now too, but not simple to switch between ROMs often. Since data including internal is completely erased everytime u switch ROM

That is not device specific. So far no issues with banking apps.
But according Root developer, Google is implementing new changes where it maybe possible for issues with few banking apps, some can be still spoofed to work properly. But that is not device specific.

I too have a 7T using it in the states on Verizon. I know its been asked a million times. What would I gain from being rooted?

If you don't know, then rooting probably isn't for you. Now a days, root is becoming less and less required for certain tasks and used to be required in the days of old. When you start finding things that you're wanting to fix on the device (For me it was a proper AOD) then root might start to come up for you. But you're right, if you don't have a good reason for root, I wouldn't. I would at least leave the door open should you need/want it later.

"Back in the day" (PDA phones), I use to flash everything that came along. Same with my first few android phones, but now, I don't even bother. Stock roms are "good enough", and my phone is just a work tool. End of the day, I'm too tired to bother using it unless someone actually calls me LOL.
I'm not a total novice to rooting. When I had my Samsung Note 4, probably the last Samsung able to root easily, I was rooted. After the Note 4 I got the Note 5, then Pixel 2xl. I never felt the need with the 2xl, so I guess with the 7T I may stay stock. It's quite a phone. I do miss the pictures from the Pixel but besides that nothing else. I'm entertaining looking at the 8 pro.

also on Verizon, received my 7T, from OnePlus, on Friday, activated/unlocked/rooted on Saturday.
You gain Titanium, AdAway, AFWall+, All-in-one Toolbox, and Root Browser to access system files.

Whoa, pretty fast.
Now that you have root, what are "things" that your doing to make the phone "better. I'm purely into performance. What will it do for me?

I'm satisfied with Oxygen OS and not really interested in ROMs for now. My concern is with pre-installed apps, ad blocking, apps “phoning home”, and what's running in the background.
Titanium to freeze 7 Google apps & two others that came with the phone and can't be uninstalled, as well as 3 apps that I very rarely use but don't want to download/reinstall/set up when I do need them. In addition to sending scheduled backups to One Drive
AdAway needs root to replace the hosts file and blocks apps & browsers from reaching pretty much every ad server
App Ops to prevent apps from running at startup
Servicely to disable unnecessary background services
AFWall as a firewall to prevent apps from accessing the internet
Root Browser simply because I dislike having anything on my phone that I can't access
Since you're “purely into performance” you'll need to root in order to install tweakable custom kernels when they become available

Hello everyone! Need some help PLEASE!

I am new here and new to the custom rom scene. I am looking for some help with my new phone.
I bought a new Motorola G7 Optimo (XT1952DL) (Its about all I could afford) It came with Android 9 which is what I want. However, it auto updated itself to Android 10 which I do not want.
Android 10 has made recording phone calls, (which IS legal in my country/state, basically impossible. I need this feature more than any other feature I can think of right now.
I have been told that downgrading back to Android 9 is not possible. I am wondering a couple things and I hope someone here will be kind enough to help Me.
1. Does anyone know of any way (paid app or otherwise) on Android 10 that I can record my calls, non speaker phone, without alerting the other party they are being recorded? (Again I live in a 1 party state which means I dont have to inform the other person I am recording and for obvious reasons I would like them to not know because I feel like this will either make them just lie, hang up, block my calls, or something similar.)
2. If this is no longer possible on Android 10 does anyone know how to downgrade to Android 9 and make it so that my phone will not automatically install Android 10 on its own?
3. If neither is possible for whatever reason, I would be interested in using a custom rom that would allow this feature and possibly add more features. The problem is that I dont know which is the best rom or how to install a custom rom, although I am very good with computers, so a little hand holding would be necessary.
** Not sure if this is allowed but I would be willing to donate a small tip in USD via paypal or something if someone could successfully help Me with this task. Call recording is something I feel should be standard as anyone can just simply lie to You or scam You on the phone and without proof You are kinda screwed.
- Thanks for any help, suggestions, etc. I hope this is a good community to help Me with my problem. - Regards

The device might be downgradable but you would need to unlock the bootloader.
Or there maybe a root option with the bootloader unlocked.

Well ...
Well the software Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant did in fact wipe and reset my phone to "factory" but it kept Android 10 eventhough it shipped with Android 9 so basically it didnt work.
If I loaded my phone with Cynogen (sp) or something similar that is based off Android 9 would that work? If so do You know of a link to a tutorial on installing that or have a recommendation on which to use?
- Thanks!

No lmsa will not downgrade firmware.
Factory reset only wipes user data it doesn't change firmware.

---------- Post added at 12:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 AM ----------
If you want to downgrade firmware you need to use
RSD Lite or fastboot.exe and bootloader will need to be unlocked before downgrade.
