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.
I wanted to put this in the Root section, but i didnt want to get blasted for not putting it in the right forum, so I figured I would post it here.
I just got my phone, and I would love to get this thing rooted, remove some bloatware and oc'ed.
The only concern I have is that there are several methods it seems for rooting the phone, and which method are most people having the best success with?
I have read several posts in all the different methods about signal losses, no wifi or bluetooth, bricks, etc.
I just want to get some feedback from the brave souls out there that have done it, which method, and if you had any issues doing it.
This is my first Samsung phone as I came from the HTC G2, and I love the Epic Touch. Can't imagine a phone being much better and I dont want to have to go through the hassle of bricking it and having to return it to Best Buy or Sprint.
Thanks in advance!
I think you should wait for a bit, they just uploaded the stock kernel.
Folks, I'm coming off an N7000 and before that a Nokia N900, so I'm no stranger to rooting and roms and the like... here's my issue/questions
I am looking for a simple root in order to get TB working so I can get rid of this AT&T bloatware. Had the phone for a day and no need for roms yet (I'm just blown away by the quad core on this beast)...
Last week I decided to root my N7000 and this was amazingly helpful:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923861
So is there a similar .zip I can locate that will just grant me root access?
This is on/for an SGH-l317 on 4.1.2 with ..CALK7
I appreciate any guidance. Not much time to do as much surfing as I used to, taking care of my 2 month old!!
Look for a thread that talks about ExynosAbuse. You'll be rooted within seconds after installing it.
actually "full rooting" only takes about 30 seconds, so if you know how to use odin, and know how to get the phone into download mode, its super easy...

Hi guys, any idea why DG closed the Root Vega thread and all the links died? I found the download from Electron73's thread. But is it still working or we have to use King root or sth to get rooted?
wow guys, Kingo root is very cool. I did it for my N900T. Wonderful. Thanks Dev
Huh I just got my Note 3 and was about to root it. What's the story with de la Vega, is that not the optimal way to root anymore?
Apparently flashing one file via Odin was to complicated for people around here, they wanted a program that will hold their hands every step and tell them it'll be alright. Root de la Vega still works great, I've done it on three Note 3's, never had an issue.
Ehh, guess I'm just a grumpy old man, 4 years ago you needed to know what you were doing to root a phone, now there's these newfangled one-click roots these kids are doing nowadays and people go doing stupid stuff to their phones without knowing what the hell they're doing, then screw up and come running here for help. 90% of the problems you see are things that could easily be avoided if they had only read the op.
Grumble grumble...get off my lawn...

I hear ya, but as Android continues growing more mainstream, rooting and ROMs isn't just for geeks (should it be?). Even CyanogenMod is now addressing its "#1 problem" by developing a Windows & Mac GUI root & installer (but no linux, yet)
I've run Linux in some or another (NetBSD, FreeBSD, RedHat, Fedora) as my primary desktop for almost 2 decades, but lately even here it's gotten noobified with Uboontoo elbowing in. I was able to root my Galaxy S1 and Kindle Fire without even booting Windows, but my S3 and Note3 needed ODIN in Windoze because Heimdall (for linux) isn't maintained as much anymore, sadly.
It's just the direction things are going.
Now, ..... YOU KIDS TURN THAT MUSIC DOWN!
What does it mean that RDLV closed?
Is that mean that it cannot be used anymore or the links are already dead? i just root my Note 3 last November 13, 2013 using the RDLV method and it work perfect for me. I just want to know what does it mean that it closed?
My best guess is the one click guys bought him out

Totally agreed. The more i read about this kingo root the more i want to reverse back to factory status. Well, too late now, my imei could be on some zombie clone phones or my phone got monitored by someone already!

Once you have rooted, you don't need to do it again.
He closed the thread because his method was too complicated for people who don't want to bother to read before making that type of change. He had actually come up with a more generic version of the same, but was getting bombarded with people asking how rather than reading how.
Once the one click methods became available, there was no point in continuing to support the other method as they did the same thing. Again, something you normally only do once.
The issue with the IMEI makes sense to me, and unfortunate that they did that, but I don't think it was for an nefarious purpose. The Vroot method was more of a concern to me since the Interface and output was in Chinese and I would prefer to see what it is saying rather than make assumptions.
Right now, I would if ask tell someone to use the Kingo Root method if they needed to root now. I saved the De La Vega root files for both T-Mobile and Verzion when I first saw them in case that I was going to do it at work, but ended up using them while at home.
No big deal in either case.

Thanks for the response. But the RDLV Method doesn't have a malware right? I don't mind reading before performing this kind of things but if you don't mind, if you'll be asked which method do you prefer? The RDLV or the one click root sir?
I ended up going with the one click root because it was extremely easy and literally only took me 30 seconds. Also I planned on getting a custom recovery and rom in the future so the knox count would had gone up anyway.

None of the processes have malware. Malware is where something is put onto your computer or device which continues to do things.
These are simply rooting your device.
The issue was in doing the rooting process, Kingo Root appeared to be collecting the IMEI number from the phone. After it was rooted, there was nothing on your phone other than the files necessary for root (busybox, SuperSU) ... no malware.

Kind of odd for them to be collection IMEI numbers isn't it?

Regarding root methods, why does there only need to be one? This isn't Highlander! What happened to choice?

Hi everyone, I just got the p605 today. Just looking for the best way to root. I know the tablet has been out for two years. The posts I've been reading are from years ago, and I am reading conflicting reports. Any suggestions? And, how is kit kat one the tablet? Right now it's stock up.
Thanks, dk
