Hi, I have a SHARP SH-06E and I successfully turned on its DIAG mode.
Now I have some devices not recognized, the HW IDs are below:
USB\VID_04DD&PID_96CD&REV_0228&MI_02
USB\VID_04DD&PID_96CD&MI_02
USB\VID_04DD&PID_96CD&REV_0228&MI_03
USB\VID_04DD&PID_96CD&MI_03
I cannot find its driver anywhere...
Can I mod the HTC/Moto one and force it installed? I want to use QPST to explore its internals.

Hello. How do did you enable in this mode smartphone Diag mode? You can link to the manual?

Temp root, and then run this it will allow DIAG.
Then setprop, see init.qcom.rc for details.
IIUC, diag mode drivers should be same for all Snapdragon (600 here) devices. Anyway it's pretty easy to edit driver ID and force installation.
Please keep us in touch, enabling QPST access will be great.
Also maybe you know is there any way to enter recovery without ADB?

TWO DIFFERENT rootkits translated and uploaded
But please note that I've had to implement a script that only allows one download per 24 hours because there has been some abuse, and my hosting plan doesn't offer a lot of traffic.

Thank you, I used the Sharp Android Rooting Tools version 6.1 / 6.01.2014 and it functioned well.
You did a good job

Best regards for all of you!

Welcome!
No, I'm afraid not. Sharp's (and all of Japanese manufacturers') smartphones use highly customized versions of Android. Your only chance to upgrade to a higher version is when Sharp/Docomo release it. Still, you will need to have installed all minor (software) updates before that. What this means: Once a new version of Android is released, send your phone to someone in Japan (e.g. the seller you bought it from) to update to latest build version, then upgrade Android, then return to you. Everything else - you risk bricking the phone.
What you can do now that you have root... Install Titanium Backup Pro to make backups of /system apps, then uninstall them (but make sure you read on Japanese sites what can and what can't be disabled unless you want to brick your phone).
Another thing you can do is install Link2SD to integrate updates of built-in apps into /system (overwrite the built in apps with newer versions). This, however, is not really necessary now that the phones come with 8-16 GB of onboard storage -- used to be important for phones like my 005SH or SH-01D where available ROM space was 200 MB and 850 MB respectively.
Yet another thing you can do is install AutoStarts to disable certain apps from launching when the phone boots, e.g. OneSeg TV and many others -- this will make the phone work faster. But then again, the SH-06E is pretty powerful... how much faster do you want it to be?

Thank you very much for this reply! That's very kind of you. My phone has some little fault (software). When I'm using the lock screen (trying to unlock) the phone resets itself. That's the one problem I have at the moment. My sharp is new and really great but I have little kids and I'm afraid that one day they may use my phone.
I thought if my phone is rooted I can upgrade the system to kitkat or normal jellybean ( not branded) and fix that problem.
Looks like I have only two options. Sell it on ebay or try it to do some upgrade. There are some apps on google play, maybe mobile odin pro or something? Any ideas?
regards for all

Hm... resetting when unlocking the screen... sounds weird. A friend has this phone, and my brother is still waiting to receive his in the next couple of days. But I haven't heard of any such issue with it. What is your build version? The latest one is 1.00.07. I read in the updates list that various bugs have been fixed but no mention of yours.
Have you disabled any apps? Maybe you can try re-enabling everything, then resetting to factory settings --- NEVER reset to factory setting if you have disabled any apps. Not sure about a rooted SH-06E.
I am sure that Android 4.3 will roll out some time this year for the SH-06E. You can upgrade it then. I might be able to help you with that but we'll see once the update comes out.
I did uninstall actually some apps but after when I restored the system everything was ok until I started to install google apps and the others. There may be some conflict. But obviously I'm not sure.
This phone is really pretty so perhaps I will not take a risk but who knows...
It would be nice if you could help me with installation of android 4.3. I have tired to find some information on Japanese websites, a there is some "img files" but those files are to small so perhaps it's not the system.
My build version is 1.00.07.
Kind regards
A little correction. I think I know what the problem is. I did not make an update of google keyboard and the problem gone. At this moment of course, after all day of using my Sharp. I hope this can be helpful for somebody.
Have you finally managed to get QPST worked?
I really want to use EDGE on my SH-06E but it seems that I have to enable it myself with QXDM.
I saw some Japaneses use HTC Diag driver on Xperia Z Ultra and it worked. Perhaps it would work with SH-06E.
hi there,
I just wondering, is it possible to upgrade to the latest (software/firmware/OS) SH-06E outside Japan? can I directly update just like ordinary android phone by OT using wifi?
thanks before

Can you screen shot your kernel information in settings and then about phone so I can see what it says for the rooted kernel. And copying the entire system to use it on the other phone is possible. Just depends on certain things.
I guess I should of bought a rooted one myself...........
think that no one has the root yet on this phone, so, pay attention to the instructions that forum masters will give to you. You could be a HERO for the entire Sm-n920a community and users hahahah. Btw, i don't know your knowledge about this things but yes, is possible to do this. Obvious, when someone of the biggest users will teach you how to do what you need, you could share the system clone with us!
Not to mention there's a big donation for anyone that finds a root method. So if you really have a rooted at&t note 5 there could be money coming your way.

Do you have a username? I got another member to join in again who says he knows how to complie kernels with ease. So lets hope this gets going! Everything is layed out we just need to get the code written. Remember anything is possible when you put you're mind to it, but this is with code. Kexec has worked in the past for locked bootloaders so I don't see why my notes in theory but plausible.

There's no root for AT&T Note 5 SM-N920A if you are running Marshmallow with the Nov security update! If you are on this version you are screwedededed!!!! I tried every type of way to install firmwares PH4 ==> PH2 and I tried every version of firmware I could find on this planet. I have tried OGG. I have tried crashing my installation, then trying to downgrade.
Long story short; If you have an unlocked SM-N920A running Android 6.01 with Nov Security Patch I will definitely be donating to you if you upload. If you aren't a member of this forum I promise you that you are safe. The guys here will help you make a copy of the firmware which will not include your personal information. (Look for the guys with lots of Thanks, listen to them)
So if you are coming in from Google and you are wondering if you can root or downgrade now you know that you can't. I'm a beginner Android Developer who follows directions like a champion, save your time trying to downgrade it is fully blocked by the bootloader.

Hello Friends:
There isn't an HONOR 8X MAX forum, so I have to post here (for now).
Recognizing that there are non-trivial differences between the HONOR 8X and HONOR 8X MAX, does anyone know if a root solution is soon coming for the HONOR 8X MAX?
For a long time I lived happily Ad-free on my NEXUS-6 (which is still going strong as a backup phone), but I really need root on my 8X MAX.
Sadly, I don't have those kinds of skills to do it (or else I would for all to benefit).
Any ideas, rumblings, thoughts?
Thank you (and happy holidays)! ??
There is a way to do it, just look in this forum as there is a root solution already if you don't want to use it, you can always use adguard for example, as it works quite well

I'll have to look harder because I couldn't find one for the 8X MAX, only the 8X. If you have a URL for it, I'd appreciate it. If not, no worries. Thank you.
P.S. I'm trying to avoid ads in apps in addition to the browser. Not that I'm selfish... I nearly always buy ad-free versions of items (including reasonably-priced yearly subscriptions) to support developers. But some apps don't offer that option.
(._.) Not to get off-topic, I'll welcome Root + AdAway again. Thanks.

Hi... I have the ARE-AL10 model. From your signature, yours may be a ARE-AL00 model (I suspect). I think it may be Snapdragon 660 versus 636. I don't know if it makes a difference?
I guess there's no root -- so far/ to date -- for HONOR 8X MAX.
These are great phones at value prices (unlike the $1,000/yr. upgrade treadmill that Samsung would like to continue).
But we do need ROOT to overcome oddities with Chinese phone builds (i.e. Huawei, Xiaomi) - several of which are not trivial and really problematic. :-/
Would the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro root/twrp work with The honor 8x max ?

Ah okay, thank you. I think I visited the same site you're mentioning and stayed away because, being in Russian, could lead to mistakes and brick the phone. ?

Yea i already read that. He have all the access. He can do. What i mean is we can't directly do this without unlocking bootloader. But he can via remot acces. He will charge 5dollars for one conversion. Pretty decent. I also waiting for my 8.1 to unlock the bootloader and flash China Rom

Why would you flash CN rom? Doesn't android one better? I had X7 6gb ram, let say i successfully convert to android one ver (8.1), 8.1 have 4gb ram would it matter? I mean the system will confused? Or it is automatically adjust? Or maybe going to brick?

Some of the features seems pretty good for me like Face Unlock, long screenshot, Screen record, Double tap to sleep, Navigation bar key adjustment, call recording, etc etc. Also i feel the UI is slightly polished and looks good. After selling 7+ i bought 8.1. But need some above mentioned features. Thats why i am waiting for 8.1 bootloader unlock.. Stock is good and fast. Smooth enough. But just want to try CN rom too..
Well, Android One is good too. U can convert to 8.1. Ram does not matter. It won't brick.
Hey ! I found this X7 with Global firmware.https://www.aliexpress.com/item/NOK...7.html?spm=2114.search0104.0.0.10ab6000CidjVh
Does this global firmware means gonna be stuck on Android 8.1 and no more updates ?
I had my X7 converted into a global 8.1 running Android One using Techmesto for $10.
https://shop.techmesto.com/product/convert-nokia-x7-to-global-variant-nokia-8-1-with-android-one/
Was a pretty easy process, ordered, got a email about it to organize a time when they can do it.
The process was simple, just to install TeamViewer on a PC (with LAN port, it needs a LAN port to connect to the internet not WiFi for some reason).
They connected to it, has me connect the phone and enable USB Debugging, and they did the rest remotely.
The guy then logged in, got to work and in about 30 minutes it booted up, saw Android One and immediately got my Jan security update. I can recommend their services, very happy with it now!

Ah sorry, the price must've increased. It was $10 at the time of writing.
And yes, I got an OTA update to January's security update straight away. I suspect it'll continue to get updates, but the Jan update is the latest so can't say much right now

Please keep us updated if you could. I am planning to buy an X7 to save some money. Its 150$ cheaper in my country. Minus the 15$ service, this is not bad!
Thank you!

I'll def update as soon as I get the February update.
Sorry for the horrible quality, had to use my laptop camera.
https://imgur.com/a/VwDhW0d
I haven't come across any issues with running Android One. The NFC doesn't work but that's expected as the X7 doesn't have NFC.
I also can't record calls anymore, which was super easy with the China ROM. Apparently Google cracked down on call recording apps in Android Pie.
But everything seems fine, seems to work as they should. The camera , voice, dual sims, hotspot all worked soo far.

Hi,
Sorry, I've never done that before, but if I understand correctly, it's working.
I opened up Google Maps, selected Location Sharing and selected to share via a link.
I can open that link on my PC and see it, so I think it's working

your answer is very useful for me. I want to buy this phone but I don't know is the OTA update successful? Could you tell me about it?
Hey guys,
I currently have a OP5 and I always root my devices to get flawless Adblocking, theming, and google feed on OP launcher. Are these already possible on the OP7T or do we have to wait for an official TWRP? if It's possible is it safe to do?
Yeah, it is safe to do. I just got mine yesterday and fully rooted it. The best and safest tutorial is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81277507&postcount=613
If you just use any patched boot.img you'll find, it could be the wrong version (there is Europe, Global and Indian) or maybe a wrong OOS version. The safest way is to extract the boot.img yourself and let Magisk Manager patch it. These steps are very easy and took me not even 10 minutes. Also you can keep root if you're doing an OTA update. Just be sure to not reboot once it prompts you and to tell the Magisk Manager to install Magisk on the inactive slot.
Blokada does great adblocking without the need of root, as for theming and what not, I suppose you would wanna root, which isnt too hard to do

I shifted from OP5T to OP7T 4 months back, the rooting seems little different here coz of no TWRP. But there are no issues. Everything works flawless and easy like OP5.
Dont buy it you will regret your decision if you are custom rom lover
For Adblocking you do not need root. Using private DNS is enought

To add more information to my previous post,
Adways works, adblock through xposed also works, google feed through magisk works, through xposed also works. Substratum theming also works flawless.
Few Screenshots are attached.
Guys, on a side note on rooting. Are you all able to use your banking sites? I'm told they don't work well on a rooted phone
Thanks

Thank you Aswin and thank you all.
So to sum it up, everything I can do with my OP5, already works perfectly as long as I am good with tinkering my device and follow good tutorials. Except for installing ROMs which still requires TWRP to be fully compatible.
I guess I'll get it as soon as the prices go down in my country.

You can install ROMS now too, but not simple to switch between ROMs often. Since data including internal is completely erased everytime u switch ROM

That is not device specific. So far no issues with banking apps.
But according Root developer, Google is implementing new changes where it maybe possible for issues with few banking apps, some can be still spoofed to work properly. But that is not device specific.

I too have a 7T using it in the states on Verizon. I know its been asked a million times. What would I gain from being rooted?

If you don't know, then rooting probably isn't for you. Now a days, root is becoming less and less required for certain tasks and used to be required in the days of old. When you start finding things that you're wanting to fix on the device (For me it was a proper AOD) then root might start to come up for you. But you're right, if you don't have a good reason for root, I wouldn't. I would at least leave the door open should you need/want it later.

"Back in the day" (PDA phones), I use to flash everything that came along. Same with my first few android phones, but now, I don't even bother. Stock roms are "good enough", and my phone is just a work tool. End of the day, I'm too tired to bother using it unless someone actually calls me LOL.
I'm not a total novice to rooting. When I had my Samsung Note 4, probably the last Samsung able to root easily, I was rooted. After the Note 4 I got the Note 5, then Pixel 2xl. I never felt the need with the 2xl, so I guess with the 7T I may stay stock. It's quite a phone. I do miss the pictures from the Pixel but besides that nothing else. I'm entertaining looking at the 8 pro.

also on Verizon, received my 7T, from OnePlus, on Friday, activated/unlocked/rooted on Saturday.
You gain Titanium, AdAway, AFWall+, All-in-one Toolbox, and Root Browser to access system files.

Whoa, pretty fast.
Now that you have root, what are "things" that your doing to make the phone "better. I'm purely into performance. What will it do for me?

I'm satisfied with Oxygen OS and not really interested in ROMs for now. My concern is with pre-installed apps, ad blocking, apps “phoning home”, and what's running in the background.
Titanium to freeze 7 Google apps & two others that came with the phone and can't be uninstalled, as well as 3 apps that I very rarely use but don't want to download/reinstall/set up when I do need them. In addition to sending scheduled backups to One Drive
AdAway needs root to replace the hosts file and blocks apps & browsers from reaching pretty much every ad server
App Ops to prevent apps from running at startup
Servicely to disable unnecessary background services
AFWall as a firewall to prevent apps from accessing the internet
Root Browser simply because I dislike having anything on my phone that I can't access
Since you're “purely into performance” you'll need to root in order to install tweakable custom kernels when they become available
