i am trying to change the stock battery icon.
what will happen if i change it and if it doesnt work?
i have backup of systemui.apk
can you tell me?

just backup systemui.apk and framework-res.apk and then u can try!
if anything happens you can always replace with original files!!
btw you can try rom-toolbox pro as well

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?
Okay it asks me to use a different name when i try changing the name!

Anyways i Followed this step by step, but somehow the permissions were not staying set.. Then i thought of restarting the phone and Voila the APK got installed! Thank you very much for giving a sneak peak of JB to me! I lost my Nexus s just before JB was announced and since then i was literally frustrated! But all is well for now and sorry for this long and meaning less post! http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

[GUIDE] [ROOT]NTT Docomo Fujitsu Arrows X F-02E Root

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

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?
Sent from my Xperia T

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
Sent from my Xperia T

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?

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.

U are stuck in boot loop...
100% solution...
luckly we have a way to get out of it...
Dont worry. Just follow the following steps and your phone will shine like a new one...
The following procedure is fully trust worthy and not harmful. It is supported by sony itself.
Download the androxyde flashtool first..
From here...
https://userscloud.com/kb6tr3bcuecr?_e_pi_=7,PAGE_ID10,4795418019
Now download the official .ftf file for t2 ultra
The firmware is 5.0.2 lollipop sony official
(dont worry the file is fully official)
from here..
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1AAC4lt7nzONno1N09KRDNVSUk/view?usp=sharing
Now follow the following steps carefully...
1. Firstly force shut down your t2 ultra by pressing the soft key near the slot for sim card or by pressing the power and vol up button untill you feel vibr 3 times.
2. Install the flashtool.
Flashtool will automatically create few folders in c drive
3. Paste the downloaded ftf file into 'firmware' folder in c drive>>users>>(your user name)>>.flashtool>>firmware.
4. Open the flashtool and let the process complete.
(open 'flashtool x86')
5. Now minimise the flashtool and again go to the flashtool folder.
You will find a folder for 'flashtool drivers.'
run the containing file.
Now you need to install the drivers required for the process.
Select (check) drivers for 'fastboot,flashmode,xperia t2 ultra drivers'
Say 'install'
return back to flashtool...
5. Now while keeping vol up button of t2 ultra pressed connect the phone to computer using only the original sony usb data cable.
A green led will blink.
6. The flashtool will say 'device connected in flash mode'
7. Now click on 'black lightning thunder icon' on left top corner below 'file' section.
8. Say flashmode.
9. Now the flashtool will automatically detect the ftf file for t2 ultra. If not detected browse to the folder containing ftf file.
10. Now in the 'wipe' section in the right side of flashtool window 'check' all the options like wipe appslog, cache, data.
Now click on flash and stay calm till the process ends.
11. Now when the process ends the flashtool will say ' flash complet ' dont hurry!! Do not turn on your phone..
12. First disconnect your phone from pc. Do not close the flashtool.
And now again connect your phone to pc but this time while connecting your phone to pc keep volume 'down' button pressed. A blue led will glow.
13. Flashtool will say that 'device is connected in fastboot mode'.
14. Now again click on 'black thunder icon' but this time click on 'fastboot mode'
15. Number of options will appear. Select ''reboot to system''. And your phone will automatically turn on. Now unplug the cable and enjoy...

You're going to have to wait for quite sometime. Firstly Mediatek is something new for Sony. Previously it was Qualcomm so the steps are more or less the same. Secondly this is a mid range phone by Sony so there won't be much waves about this phone because most people will be getting Z5.
But nonetheless i think this phone is pretty decent that's why i get M5 instead of Z5.
So we got to be patient. Very very patient.

Unlock bootloader is now possible.

Did anybody, other then the poster have success with this rootmaster?
And does this require the boot loader to be unlocked?

Doing a Google search for MT6795 (our chipset) shows that Mediatek has at some point released the sources of the kernel and baseband, but all the links to their github are dead.
If we can find someone who has pulled these sources before they were taken off and a developer who knows how to put them to use we might get custom recoveries, root and custom ROMs.

I found this , is it what you were looking for?

Unfortunately I found some other info saying it e wasn't actually released but leaked. Which explains why it has been taken off again. These posts also said that those sources were incomplete and only applies to a xiuomi (or something like that) model and not to other phones.
And on top of that I am not a developer so I can't do anything with the sources myself. I just read the blogs and these sources seem to be the reason why we still don't have root.
So maybe a developer could have a look at the sources you found and verify if they are real and complete. If they are this might get us one step closer to open development for our device.

I did but it doesn't support our device. I put in a research request, but there aren't enough for them to research or device.
More requests might help, but I don't know how many they need.

I think our hopes of rooting M5 is definitely not going to happen....

Kingroot can successfully root our device, but it requires a couple of tries. I had to run it 5 times before it was successful.
