I am laying down a challenge to see if anyone can work out how to root the NEC N-04C MEDIAS...
I haven't found anything about this phone being rooted...apart from some attempts by some Japanese guys, which have so far failed, as far as I can tell...
I don't know much about phones/computers, but know enough to get me by. Have tried to learn how to do it myself for the past few months, but don't have the skills.
So...it is over to whoever reads this and wants to take on the challenge...
I have copies of the following files which I can post online if needed:
These cannonly be downloaded from NEC using the IMEI of your pruchased N-03C MEDIAS phone...
bionic_N-04C.tar
external_N-04C.tar
kernel_N-04C.tar
system_N-04C.tar
vendor_N-04C.tar
I am not sure if you need these files to work out how to root the N-03C, but they may be useful...right/wrong?
Anyway...looking forward to hearing from people about this challenge, and if anyone thinks they can root this phone...or knows of anyone who has rooted it already.
Nobody interested???

Any luck so far? I have also asked a few people about this as I am going to Japan very soon and seriously considering this phone. But I may have to get a Samsung Galaxy (blech!!!) instead just so I can have root privileges.
I have the same problems. Wish someone help.

Can this be added soon for rooting roms etc? Phone will be out before end of Sept
I forgot to add "REQUEST" to this when it comes out?
2nd the request, anyone working on root for this? Does anyone know if the Prevail root works?
Im sure this will be rooted soon if its like the Fascinate or is it the other Samsung? I forgot which one.
Would it be safe to use the prevail root? I got the Prevail case for it and it fits perfectly, leading me to think it's pretty much the same phone...
In any case any updates on this, there are a couple of apps I need root for.
precedent performance
I am curios as to data perormance of this phone. I asssume it would be on verizon network as straighttalk to this point has been att or verizon.
It will be working off Sprint network
I looked up the specs on phone.....supposedly CDMA2000 1xRTT so a blazin double dial up speed!!! Wow!! I woulda thought they would have done this better but i imagine its that way for a reason.
Rooting
I would love to get this phone rooted. I did some digging on other forums and saw where one person "claimed" that the prevail root worked. I tried that root at least a dozen times to no avail. I'm thinking that maybe it has a NAND lock?

I have tried the prevail root and also did it by hand several times. I have used UNIX based OSes for years. The prevail root does NOT work. There is some kind of lock. I hope someone finds a rooting solution. I really like this phone and would love to be able to root it out.
Anybody know if a root is available for this yet?
im curious too. mine will arrive today and cant wait to hack it out. lol.\
Dodge Uconnect Compatability
Has anyone tried this, or has a way to try this with the Dodge Uconnect? They rarely update the list of compatable phones.
My wife has the Dodge Uconnect in her car and likes the Straight Talk plans. She has an E71 by Nokia and hates it, but it is compatabile with her car Uconnect system. Has anyone tried this phone wtih the Dodge Uconnect? I hate to buy the phone, pay $200 after the phone and one month plan just to find out it is not compatable.
Any information anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Samsung Galaxy Precedent Root - Fully Working!!!
Hey guys,
I've been following your threads on rooting the Precedent for a couple weeks now. Finally found the right one & process! Just rooted mine five mins ago and..... freaking awesome! Ran "Root Check" from the market - Fully verified root even under advanced check!
Just wanted to help you all out. Thanks nickcherski for the post and to all who contributed to this! XDA Rocks!!!
Quick note on step 7 & 8: You'll want to have the batch file already open, waiting for you to hit "any key" before you see the model number show up.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17934522#post17934522
I totally agree this phone needs to be added to the list. There is root, Clockwork mod, and roms already out there. We need to get this a little more organized so this phone can get some development!
---------- Post added at 12:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 AM ----------
also Straight Talk should be added as a cell phone provider
I posted some information to the wiki page. Please feel free to edit the wiki. Its a total work in progress for me. But from what im understanding to get full support on this site there needs to be a wiki

Has anyone found a proper root yet? I tried the Prevail one several times and it hasn't worked for me.
Just out of curiosity, has anyone, more specifically the devs who work on our phones... Has anyone tried to ring up Nokia and get someone on the line to explain to them the advantages of allowing access to the core system?
I see it like this. You would have more buzz about the phones if people could hack them and change things and do whatever.
Anyways I'm just wondering if anyone ever tried to explain it to someone at Nokia. (Someone not in their PR department lol) I would guess some sneakery would have to be done to get to the programmers.
My 2 cents
So anyone ever tried to call nokia and find out about getting info on unlocking the 900?
Nokia's not going to help break their security on the OS or Bootloader. Hell, they pulled the original Network Setup aoo for a long time because of a possible (I don't think it was ever exploited.) flaw in it.

I stumbled on this when I googled the status on our root. I don't think it's real, but could it be?

ugh, really? This (and other similar sites) have been brought up before. Unless a Dev releases it on HERE or mentions about where he will release it on HERE, IGNORE THEM.
Give it a shot and report back.
Gonna run the .exe in a virtual machine to see what happens.
https://www.androidroot.us.com/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-s7/
it seems like they cracked S7 already. Wonderful. *pun intended*
Yeah, I stumbled upon bogus sites like those back when I was trying to see if anybody ever rooted an Asus Fonepad 8. You know if someone rooted a relatively obscure device like that, there would also be a thread about it here.
For all of those that "stumble" upon this "root" method......don't post a question on if it works, just try it and see if it works......simply put, the Top Devs that have achieved root and unlocking bootloaders on various devices have not come up with a stable method as of yet, one of them does this type of work for a living, why would you think some third party site is able to crank out a root method on a device that just became available to the public and claims to have root for devices that do not exist yet??????????
Clearly, it will fail and will ask you to pay a fee for professional technical remote support. Then it will tell you they can not help and there is no refund.
Remember this, Root is NOT for everyone.

Root exploit was found by devs but it is dangerous. They are currently looking for other methods. Fortunately since those devs *can* root, they can dive deeper into the paritions and system to look for it. Easier to find a key inside a house then standing outside the gate.
Fortunately the LG phones are pretty solid and I personally need to change nothing. Outside of Xposed for Statusbar tweaks and themes, it is fine.
Full root..... Whatever. I want unlocked boot.
No, this is a scam/garbage...don't do it, won't work.

I agree. First LG phone for me. Previous devices were Samsung dating back to S2 all the way through S5. Felt that the removable battery and SD were too important to me to go with S6. Thus far, I'm much more impressed with the LG UI than Touchwiz. It's good without root. Could be great with it. Only two things I would use root for on this device. All of the ads are driving me nuts (short drive) and I really want to regain unlimited tethering. Fortunately, have T-Mobile so at least have 5 gb of tethering.
Have ur Pay Pal rdy LG4 owner's gonna be first to pay for su access when it does release supposedly.
What's the angle of this website? Do they hijack your phone and make you pay?

When is that happening?
Sent from my SM-G920T
Hello all. I just finally picked up my new galaxy s9 a few hrs ago and in the process of transferring files /re downloading apps etc. When I went to login to xda on here for the first time it says I've already registered once
from my IP address.....I wasn't trying to register only login though....it then however let me create this new account? Lol. Anyone know how to fix that? My original login email is [email protected]
Anyways I've always used xda and guides posted here for all my rooting needs bcas I'm only moderately tech literate and have loved how the guides here have always been easy enough for me to follow successfully. I was unable to root my s7 apparently bcas of the firmware version...so I was excited to pick up my s9 tonight.
For some reason though when I'm searching for sm-g960u it's just showing its showing me posts here for the s3. Its probably this phone I'm already getting screwy little bugs and popups trying to navigate here ...another reason I want to root asap. Was just curious If anyone could link me whatever they think the most reputable guide for rooting this phone is.
My new phone :
Sprint sm-g960u galaxy s9
Android version 8.0.0 SDK 26
RF9 firmware
Sorry that I posted both problems (login and root problem) in same place...the root is my priority though. Thanks in advance and thanks to everyone who has worked on these guides and made years worth of rooting possible for people like me!
Or- if I can't find a guide here has anyone used or tried this method?
I usually only trust xda for these types of things so I'm hesitant to trust some other site....anyone know if legit?

Oops. New users can't post links...ugg..and can't get into my original account. Anyways the guide I was referring to is at
highonandroid.com/android-smartphones/how-to-root-galaxy-s9-or-s9-plus-exynos-supersu
The answer to your question lies in the model number itself...

The US models of the S9 with snapdragon are not rootable and probably never will be.
Look, I know I tried and failed miserably to get something going for the previous first generation Revvl, and I probably let a whole lot of people down... but after my recent successes with the Orbic Wonder and Vortex Synq, I couldn't help but try and take this on because it's too tempting
Like before, I don't have this phone myself (I'm on Verizon now), but if anyone has one and wants to see if we can get something going let me know and we can work together. Even if we can only get root access and maybe a custom recovery, that would still be better than nothing. Since my last attempt at the Revvl line I've learned a few new things and have a couple more tricks up my sleeve. I can't guarantee anything obviously, but if anyone wants to give it a shot we can certainly do so. I'm personally down for Round 2 at this point if any of you out there are
I found a couple at a local pawn shop for cheap. If you think you can get Majisk on them, I'll pick one up!

Depends how cheap, because there's no guarantee I'll be able to get Magisk on them. Not sure how the odds will be. If you're talking like $20 cheap then yeah go for it, even if it fails you can have a backup device to screw around with. Any significant amount of money, don't risk it.
Help
Anyone knows how to solve this
Is this dead?
I realize it's been a hot minute since this thread was active, but I have this device and if there was a way I could get it rooted it would be greatly appreciated
I just picked up a new revvl plus 2..I'm search of a successful root process either via an app or a Manuel breakdown on using my PC.. preferably PC tools ....I'm trying to get as much up to date info as possible any help in this would be great and appreciate..
Thanks for any help in advance.
i would appreciate a rom, too.
