Can my phone be rooted? ARROWS 201F, FUJITSU - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Can anybody tell me if this phone is capable of being unlocked? IF possible, please post a guide? I'm a new user to the forum, so I can't drop you a link. But they have the guide on softbank's English website. I think it's the best phone stupid softbank offers.
Always wanted a rooted phone. Please, help me out with this?
:cyclops:

As for unlocking your phone their are third party sites that can help with that, usually the unlocking process is just a simple code entered after inserting a foreign sim card, which will SIM unlock your phone. As for root you can check this link in XDA fourm

Follow-up request
I got a newer model: 301F.
Listen, this gives me hope, but I'm a total beginner at this stuff. What kind of third-party site helps with that? Could you send me some sample links that might work with my phone? Because it's really my dream to unlock my phone, man, and get sudo access--root it, ideally.
This is really cool. Thanks so much for writing. But I'm really hoping for something a wintard can figure out.
About the thread: it's for the F-X02, right? It's a slightly different model. It's also a different provider. I thought: "Maybe a custom ROM or rooting method needs to be made per each phone?" I'm not sure.
Thanks, again. Please, follow-up.

Your milage may vary, but you can check Ebay for unlock codes (they go for like 2 dollars or something) really cheap, so far i have unlocked 3 phones using this method, which is a sim unlock and works perfectly fine. If they cannot find a sim unlock code for you then they refund you your 2-3 bucks whatever it costs (still cheap) i would suggest you try this with an un-activated (or activated sim card) doesn't make much of a difference. you can literally just walk into any atnt store or (whatever provider you want unlocked) and ask for a empty sim let them know you want to unlock your phone to be on their service and they will be more than happy to just give u one ! By the way the unlock instructions are emailed to you when you order a code, they will ask for the proper IMEI number and what not, all of this is in their directions. Let me know how it goes

Maybe call the person who owns the phone. That's why passwords are there.
well there are alot or unlocks SIM/PUK/CID and more so it depends on what you need and i would find out all the password sruff from whoever you bought it from
You know if I ever lost my Dash or any cell phone that I have I would love for the person that found it to return it to me instead of taking it....people put locks on their device for a reason.....oh well..some people in the world always take things for themselves, that's why people get scammed it seems like all the time.

no,no,i need to know how to unlock it to return it to the original owner tmobile won't probably be able to find out ,because the sticker with all the info is all scratch-up, when i return it he will probably give me a reword like or if its a she, she can give me some head.lol no I am serious

Umm if you are trying to find out who the person is then why the he!! are you trying to use activesync. You can just unlock the phone without connecting it to a PC or MAC and go to settings--> owner information without needing to connect it via activesync.... Furthermore you wouldn't have anything to gain by connecting it to your PC unless what you want to gain is something you DON'T OWN!!!
Here is the back way to unlocking the phone....
WALK your ass to a T-Mobile store and tell the rep "i found this phone. I would like for you guys to find the owner and return it to him" "here is my info, in case the owner wants to get a hold off me."
Thanks that unlock code works all the time.
naw neva mind ya guys are making it all difficult, I have a friend dat owns a cell shop and can unlock the fones for five buck
lmao ok have your friend unlock you the phone you found.

Do us all a favor, and take your lowlife a$$ to some other forum or slimey chat room. No one here wants to help you rip someone off.
No,no, guys... you're getting the guy wrong, he just want to get the phone back to its owner...
Oh! Barney is on tv right now... I gotta go!
Yeah! sure...
Besides from his grammar, i would guess he is 12. Who, at 12, has friends that are at least 16 working at T-Mobile? LMFAO

Unlocking non-htc phone, the SE W880i

Hi there,
A good friend of mine will be celebrating her birthday in a week's time, so a few friends and I bought a SE W880i as a birthday gift for her. It's locked to the Orange network in the UK so I was wondering if anyone here knows how to unlock it (preferably free ones). I did a google search and I cant seem to understand what they're saying. Maybe cause Im used to my Hermes, and a SE suddenly seemed very odd to me. Also, I have read somewhere that this phone cant be unlocked from home; I'll need a special cable. Is it true?
Please help! I know I shouldnt be posting this here as it has nth to do with xda phones, but Im really running out of ideas.
Thanks in advance.
http://gsmhosting.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=493507
try that ^_^
Hey there. Thanks for your reply. Really appreciated that.
Anyway, found the link earlier on thru google before i post this thread. However, I didnt understand a thing they said. Im quite ok when it comes to Hermes, but with SE, im a total n00b! lol
-What are DB2020 models?
-CID49/51/52?
-DCU-60 cable?
-xs++?
So it is true that I will need an extra cable to unlock it myself? Aww deng. That means I'll have to buy it. Then might as well as pay for it to be unlocked since I'll have to spend anyway.
But, out of curiosity, how did those guys on ebay sell unlocking services for SE phones if it needs to be done with the DCU-60 cable? I think I've heard of some unlocking code or something.
Thanks!
For SE DB2020 DON'T NEED SPECIAL CABLE FOR UNLOCK (only need if you want to flash EROM, EEPROM e.g spanish village for you). The gsmhosting link is too good for you. Use this http://rs300.rapidshare.com/files/85926001/DB2020.rar
Thanks! I'll give it a go later in the day!

No, there isn't if you did search as much as you say, if there was a way to unlock it for free , you would have found it. I would suggest to get a visa prepaid card, put some money on it, and then use it to pay for the unlock.
thanks
thak you so much for your information, i was afraid that was the only way to fix my problem, but i´ll have to find a solution, i´ll let you know what i did to solve this situation, someone here told me he could unlock my phone but i would have to pay 80cuc thats a very expensive.

[Q] Changing region and language of HTC one x

Hello Guys,
I am a newbie here & would appreciate your help in following matter.
I bought a HTC One X from Bangkok and i m using it in India now.I am facing following issues.
1. I suspect that the phone that i bought was AT &T locked phone earlier and i might have been cheated by the seller in this regard. My question is how do i confirm whether this is an AT&T unlocked Phone?
2. The language of applications installed on the Phone is chinese and i cant seem to get rid of the language even after changing the language from settings page. How do i get it to be in English completely?
3. Indian carrier SIM apart from CELLONE does not detect or register on any network here. and the SIM slot is a normal one not a micro SIM Slot. Does this Phone require any special kind of SIM card?
4. Even Google Play is not there. whenever i try to download anything a page in chinese opens up. And i do not know chinese.
4. Will rooting of my phone help in any of these regard? I even dont know whether this Phone was a rooted one.
Please Help somebody....
Thanks & regard..
Nix.
You are the proud owner of Chinese knock off. Sorry to hear you got fleeced.

Got to<settings <about<software information. Take a screenshot and post here.
here is the screenshot.. plz help dude.. i am all confused right now
Looks like it could be a really old build of HK firmware, but the kernel date doesn't make sense.
Try flashing the latest HK RUU (1.29.708.15) http://www.filefactory.com/f/7cc7b2fbdd03c031/
I'll leave it to you to find a username and password that works, but it's been posted in this forum more than once.
Strange, Also you mentioned that the phone takes a full sized sim not micro sim. Check the HOX's spec sheet and you will find that they were manufactured with micro sim slot only.
Maybe it IS a knock off OR someone modded the build.prop and sold you a Desire X?
i am uploading my factory mode screen. Please see if you guys can help
The number of speaker holes are less that the genuine one x. I think you have been fooled. The Hboot that you have is different. Check the attached pic.
Well this just gets stranger and stranger.
Doesn't look like a real One X I'm afraid.

yeah, it definitely seems that i have been fooled now. Any ways, is there any way to know the device hardware configuration, so that i may be able to flash it to atleast use it here in India.
Is there any ROM compatible to any handset?? If so, Then how do i go with it?

I was trying to be sensitive in my previous posts, and felt for you. Best you leave the rom as is, chances are if you try flashing you could end up with a brick.

Locked bootloader ("Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No")

Hi,
Some of you may recognize this issue, and I apologize if I annoy some people by making this thread, but I'm really running out of options.
I own Xperia Play r800i. It's rooted, but bootloader is locked, preventing me from installing any custom roms. Unfortunately, official unlock is not possible with this phone, as service menu has the infamous "Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No" setting and I have no clue how to get rid of it.
One major problem is the amount of confusion and disinformation running amok in the internet. Depending on where you look for info, you will get answers wildly varied. Some people will say it's possible, some say it's not, some say there's a program that can do it automatically for you, others will say that the whole thing is outright impossible and suggest buying a new phone. Some say Sony can do it, for free, others will send you on your way to mobile operator, who can unlock it for a fee.
I also heard about the "testpoint method", which involves pressing a paperclip on the dots on the inside of your phone and then connect it to the wire or something... and attach it to the battery? Or terminal? I'm a bit confused about this thing. The only guide I found (on XDA) is a bit inprecise and one of the pictures is missing.
While researching, I found a site with a tool that supposedly can unlock Bootloader in this case. It's here: "bootloader-unlock-allowed-no-solution.blogspot.com". People behind it claim that it works with cases like mine. To be honest, something is not right here, and I feel it may be a scam. Of course, internet remains silent about this site.
The questions and answers on this very forum covers this case and suggests contacting member "Alejandrissimo", who can supposedly solve this issue for a fee. I've tried to contact him via email and have yet to receive a sign of life from him. Additionally, his site mentioned in the topic appears to be dead.
Please help me. I'm running out of ideas. I'm prepared to pay if I have to, and the last thing I'd wanna do is to abandon this phone because I can't unlock it. I fell in love with XPlay, but deficit of power and its extremely sluggish and outdated stock rom are a very major issue here.
Alright, problem solved. I'll post it for anybody facing similar problems in the future.
First off, from what I learned, the site "bootloader-unlock-allowed-no-solution.blogspot.com" appears to be a scam. Don't bother going there - it's not gonna help.
Many people from various forums point to "Alejandrissimo" member of this forum, and supposedly, he can unlock bootloader in this situation over the internet, if you pay him. At this point I still got no reply from him, after attempting to contact him by e-mail, XDA forum private message, or even Google Hangouts.
Running out of ideas, I decided to contact local GSM repair centers, and I found one which said they can try unlocking it. For a very small fee (translating to something like less than 15$) and after an hour of attempting various methods, the guy at the repair center finally managed to unlock bootloader on my phone with testpoint method and the X Unlock program. The settting at the service menu changed to "Bootloader Unlock Allowed: Yes" and I've succesfully connected the phone to PC in fastboot and bootloader modes (green LED and blue LED respectively).
Case solved. Thread can be locked.

The testpoint method or the s1tool method as its properly called is the easiest method. Why does this work? Well in the Xperia 2011 and all phones there is a peice of code called a flag this flag checks bootloader unlock allowed no. 2011 Xperia have a point in the battery are which if connected to ground will temporarily remove this flag. Which will allow you to flash custom firmware in the form of ftf after the but custom firmware is only in. . Img? No LoOpy made a thread containing most firmwares in. Ftf so they can be flashed. X Unlock will unlock everything completely if you do s1 on Xperia play. Wonder if this works with r800x. Anyway there are actually MANY MANY MANY many threads on this subject but it is always nice to have more as looking through old fossilized threads is so annoying Alejandrissimo has been a dead member since 2013 no idea where's he's gotten do but he clearly doesn't do anything XDA related anymore almost none of the devs in 2011 will grace got with an answer for whatever reason. Either they've been annoyed to death with repetitive questions or they just got tired of it either way here's a list
Bin4ry will sometimes answer
Alejandrissimo never
Condi yes but just to say hi
Blagus no
Doomlord almost never and if he does it will be in yes or no fashion extremely curt or irritated.
Androxyde never not even on Twitter
The maker of s1tool will sometimes answer.
Very annoying but anyway that's how she goes, sometimes she goes sometimes she doesn't cause that's the way she goes bubbles

Thanks for your reply. Well, first off, from what I've learned, s1tool would not work at all with this case. It only works with "Bootloader Unlock Allowed: Yes" from what I know.
Don't know about other phones, but for owners of r800i (or just anything else equipped with test points) facing similar problem I had - unless you own X Unlock or SETool2, just bring your phone to a GSM repair service and ask them to unlock it for you - it's the most surefire way, and this kind of service should be very cheap. Be careful though - make sure those guys know what you're talking about and they know what they are doing, as this is a very obscure and rare problem.

You are very incorrect my freind. S1tool is a small subset of setool. It's SPECIFIC PURPOSE is to unlock bootloader allowed: no phones that's what it does. Using the testpoint temporarily removes the bootloader unlock allowed no flag and allows you to unlock the bootloader. Which is what I explained and you failed to understand for some reason. The bootloader status will still say no but it will be unlocked on 2011 phones before 12w31days. The advantage of s1tool is that it preserves drm by having the phone say bootloader unlock allowed no while still being unlocked. If your a noob like yourself than taking it to a service is a good idea if there is one around.
It's how I unlocked my first Android phone, the play and a few others. Your way of doing it is all well and good if there is someone who does this service in your area.
Services like xunlocker are garbage and often freeze and take your money then when you ask for a refund they are more silent then death. Setool if you want to do it yourself will cost 100$ dollars as that is how much the hardware costs. This problem is also not rare as ALL network locked phones will not allow you to unlock the bootloader. However once you have paid for the phone in full you can take it to the store and they will network unlock it for 50$ you can also at the same time have a technician unlock the bootloader which is by far the easiest way to have this done.

I don't know how different the GSM variants are, but four out of the six r800x units I've owned (All four are Verizon branded) all reported the bootlocker unlock status as "No" yet they all were unlockable after running fastboot with the command the Sony Mobile site generated.
One of them I thought was actually being truthful since I couldn't get it to unlock on the first attempt, but realized it was due to accidentally entering a lower case hex digit in the MEID on the Sony web form (Bad coding on their part: case should be irrelevant for hexadecimal). Once I ran it with all caps the generated code unlocked it fine.
