Velvet.apk does not install
Tried to install velvet.apk but it again and again asks me to replace system application. I guess after changing the name of the file this should not happen, right? Any idea what could be wrong?

CWM is for flashing custom ROMs
wow cool.
but how to take a backup from my original ROM or Firmware ?!
@JAZMY
reboot to CWM.. turn off, then turn on by pressing vol up + home + power.. you will see SAMSUNG logo, you can release those buttons..
then use:
- home button : to select
- vol up : up
- vol down : down
- power button : go back
before backup, you can select your backup format, tar or dup.. with tar, you'll get the files larger, but there's only 11 files there.. and faster for copying to pc.. for dup, smaller backup (but if you want to do many backups, if just one backup, of course larger).. but hundreds of folders and files, and of course slower for copying to pc
how to select:
- backup & restore ~> choose backup format ~> tar or dup
then go to:
- backup & restore ~> backup or backup to external sd card..
- wait for progress
- back, reboot system now
if you want to move your backup to your pc, just take the "clockworkmod" folder in sdcard or external sd to your pc.. rar or zip it recommended due file safety, but do not compress to high, better do not compress (compress level = store)..
THIS THREAD IS JUST FOR ASKING ABOUT FLASHING CWM WITH ODIN, NOT ABOUT BACKUP OR ETC..
THIS IS AN OFF TOPIC POST.. WANT TO ASKING, MAKE A NEW THREAD ON GENERAL SECTION, OR ASK IN ASKING THREAD..
SORRY @MYDESTINATE
I HOPE THIS IS THE LAST OFF TOPIC POST
@JAZMY I HAVE ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.. BETTER DON'T REPLY
I already have CWM 5.5 in my phone, So If I want to upgrade into CWM 6, How ?
Same steps which I use to CWM 5.5 via Odin ?

What to do if i put my the root filr into my sd card and update already,and i reboot then it seems the same,why is it so?
Because there is nothing to see, you just give yourself more rights,
just like a administrator in windows.
If everything whent well than you will see a app called Super User.
Just try root checker, you can find it in the market

Updating Baseband :
This process is pretty nasty. I made a successful Update after trying a number of times and fails, after that I installed WINDOWS XP SP3 and successfully Updated Baseband.

CWM is Clockworkmod Recovery, it's a recovery replacement of stock recovery. the procedure is told is how to install CWM by replacing Stock recovery, if you have successfully flashed "ICS_W25_Stable" you already should have CWM on your system. try by pressing VOL UP + Power and hold untill Red display showes up. I am sorry i can't help you with Language support. But if you don't install CWM on your system then you wont be able to update new roms.

Reset To factory settings, then start using link2sd. internal memory shows low because of preinstalled apps. you can use my 3rd updated rom "OPSHORA". this one is best. i personally use this rom. but you need to follow all procedures step by step. but you don't need to update Baseband again. OPSHORA rom has some Blue screen issue sometime, but removeing your battery will fix it.

I DO NOT TAKE CREDIT FOR THE WORK. I ONLY TRANSLATED THE SCRIPTS TO ENGLISH .
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK OR BREAK YOUR FUJITSU.
I have managed to find a bat file which will allow you to root your F-02E japanese phone.
I have also found a script to allow system R/W made by kikuhare
Steps Involved:
Make sure your phone has 100% charge.
Download the Root + System Mount
Extract the zip's to different folders.
Enable USB debugging under Menu > Settings > Developer Options.
Point to the folder where you extracted drivers from "usb_driver_F-02E_1.0.zip". Wait for drivers to install.
Make sure the phone is connected as PTP not MTP.
CMD into the folder "f-02e_oneclick_su_installer". It is inside the "Root + System Mount_1" files folder.
Run the runme.bat.
Download "Root Checker by joeykrim" from the Play Store.
Run the "Root Checker" app
Wait for the process to finish.
UPDATE System R/W
Connect phone to computer
Download the System Read Write Mounter_1.zip <<<<<< Only need to download if you did not download the "Root + System Mount_1.zip" file.
CMD into the "F-02E_system-mounter" It is inside the "Root + System Mount_1" files folder.
Extract the file and run the"START.bat"
Run everytime the system restarts to mount system as R/W.
Enjoy root .
NOTE: This method does not give full root permissions. You will still be able to underclock the CPU to some degree and use the CoreControl app to disable cores. I will have to run start.bat inside F-02E_system-mounter folder everytime the phone restarts to get system R/W
Drivers: usb_driver_F-02E_1.0.zip
Root Includes System Mount: Root + System Mount_1.zip
System R/W Mounter: System Read Write Mounter_1.zip
Screenshots:
Feel free to ask questions.

No, not enough developers and interest for the phone outside Japan. I doubt anyone will be willing to put in effort as well
Oh well, but it is a very good phone, i think ill still get it though. I just wanted to know is half of it in Chinese even if you select english, i just heard this on youtube about another one of fujitsu's phones?

Only Docomo and Fujistu apps are in Japanese. Everything else is in English.
Thats fine i suppose with root explorer i can delete those apps by deleting the apk in system app? Also if you have xposed app settings you can change the language per app would that also work?

I have just frozen them, just incase if the phone needs the at somepoint. Xposed framework doesnt work as it need system R/W and the root method has not allowed system R/W mainly because the phone bootloader not unlocked. Secondly make sure you do not uninstall/disable the Phonebook and Phonebook Service provided by Docomo. Its key to allowing you to add and sync contacts.
So Xposed wont work at all then, thats a shame what about lucky patcher, does that need R/W?

Improved the .bat file. Now you will have system R/W
Download the root file again and run it. Follow the steps starting at 10 if you have already rooted. :good:
Thanks

anyone else besides the OP got their f02 rooted with this?
I may not be able to help any further. I have boot looped my phone. I cannot get it past the NTT Docomo screen. I think I know what is causing it but I cannot get the phone connected to the PC. I may need to send it into Fujitsu.
Good luck on fixing it

Thank! i just got the F-02e today. will try to root it.
btw, have you overcome a heating and self-shutting off prob on this phone?

Hi, I have managed to find a bat file which will allow you to root your F-02E japanese phone. I do NOT take CREDIT for the work. I have merely found the zip. I have tested it and it works. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK OR BREAK YOUR FUJITSU.
Steps Involved:
Make sure your phone has 100% charge.
Extract the zip's to different folders.
Enable USB debugging under Menu > Settings > Developer Options.
Point to the folder where you extracted drivers from usb_driver_F-02E_1.0.zip. Wait for drivers to install.
CMD into the folder where you extracted the f-02e_oneclick_su_installer-improved.zip files.
Run the runme.bat.
Download RootChecker from the Play Store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&hl=en
Run the RootChecker app
Wait for the process to finish.
UPDATE
Download ES File Explorer. Run it.
Press Menu then scroll down the list and click Root Explore.
Change the directory to root. (Meaning where you can see all system folders)
Look for system and hold the folder, then press more then properties.
Press Change in permissions.
Tick all the boxes at the bottom.
Enjoy root .
NOTE: This method does not give full root permissions. You will still be able to underclock the CPU to some degree and use the CoreControl app to disable cores. I have not been able to mount system as R/W and I had trouble installing BusyBox.

You can reset the factory settings. Reboot the phone and hold the volume up, the phone will boot into recovery mode. You will be able to do a factory recovery.

I have not been able to overcome the issue. It is a design issue. Because it is waterproof phone the heat cannot disperse.
The only thing I have been able to do is keep the CPU frequency down to lower the time it takes for the phone to heat up.

First Lets know some Basic knowledge
about DEODEX/ODEX...
What is Odex and Deodex ROM
What is an ODEX file?
In Android file system, applications
come in packages with the
extension .apk.
These application packages, or APKs
contain certain .odex files whose
supposed function is to save space.
These ‘odex’ files are actually
collections of parts of an application
that are optimized before booting.
Doing so speeds up the boot process,
as it preloads part of an application.
On the other hand, it also makes
hacking those applications difficult
because a part of the coding has
already been extracted to another
location before execution.
What is an DEODEX file?
Deodexing is basically repackaging of
these APKs in a certain way, such
that they are reassembled into
classes.dex files.
By doing that, all pieces of an
application package are put together
back in one place, thus eliminating
the worry of a modified APK conflicting
with some separate odexed parts.
So, Deodexed ROMs (or APKs) have all
their application packages put back
together in one place,
allowing for easy modification such as
theming. Since no pieces of code are
coming from any external location,
custom ROMs or APKs are always
deodexed to ensure integrity.
How this works?
For the majority noobs amongst us,
Android OS uses a Java-based virtual
machine called the Dalvik Virtual
Machine.
A deodexed or .dex file contains the
cache used by this virtual machine
(referred to as Dalvik-cache) for a
program, and it is stored inside the
APK.
An .odex file, on the other hand, is an
optimized version of this same .
dex file that is stored next to the APK
as opposed to inside it.
Android applies this technique by
default to all the system applications.
When an Android-based system is
booting, the davlik cache for the
Davlik VM is built using these .odex
files, allowing the OS to learn in
advance what applications will be
loaded, and thus speeds up the
booting process.
By deodexing these APKs, a developer
actually puts the .odex files back
inside their respective APK packages.
Since all code is now contained within
the APK itself, it becomes possible to
modify any application package
without conflicting with the operating
system’s execution environment.
Advanteges & Disadvantages
The advantage of deodexing is in
modification possibilities.
This is most widely used in custom
ROMs and themes. A developer
building a custom ROM would almost
always choose to deodex the ROM
package first,
since that would not only allow him to
modify various APKs, but also leave
room for post-install theming.
On the other hand, since the .odex
files were supposed to quickly build
the dalvik cache, removing them
would mean longer initial boot times.
However, this is true only for the first
ever boot after deodexing, since the
cache would still get built over time as
applications are used.
Longer boot times may only be seen
again if the dalvik cache is wiped for
some reason.
Note:Themes for android come in
APKs too, and if you want to modify
any of those, you should always
choose a dedoexed custom ROM.

I recommend you to use apk changer.. its a nice tool works with command prompt.. it is actually built for modifying apk.. but it has option to deodex your rom automatically..but has some options to pull the files from your phone with some clicks... very easy to use..
If you have root access surely it'll work.. and tell something about your phone partition.. if you don't provide the correct path to the source file also it will fail...
