So, the first Casio Commando G'zOne was a very tough phone. Came stock with Gingerbread 2.3 and no recovery, only a hard reset option. Surprisingly it was quite popular.

Now, the new Casio Commando G'zOne 4G LTE is available stock with ICS 4.0 and will be attracting many consumers. Unfortunately, I don't know if it has it's own recovery or not.

Wanted to know if anyone has got one and if it has it's own recovery or not (aside from the stock hard reset option).

Also, any devs looking into creating a custom ROM for this device? I'd be highly interested in any information on a custom ROM for this device! Thanks!!

I'm using one right now. There is no button combination to get into recovery. However if you do get into recovery via commands or toolkit you cant navigate to any options.

Well snap, I was anxious to see some custom ROMs for the device.

I did I quick Google search and found some links to people fining a way to root but since they cant navigate in recovery they cant load a ROM. Maybe someone can flash a recovery with fastboot or adb.

Well I hope someone can figure this out. I would myself, unfortunately I've got limited experience.

I'll pass along the information you provided. Much obliged!

I found a root method on another forum. If rules allow I can link them here. I'm looking at getting the commando 4g too. I root all my phones so searched endlessly. However the phone has few threads. Since most devs have high end phones like Galaxy S4 and Note 2 etc.

If I had the phone, I'd root it myself and create an informative thread. Should have it by next year if my buddy gets it and allows me to tinker with it lol.

Looking forward to more insight on the matter!

Just saw this phone on the VZW site and droooooooled. I'm in construction, so the rugged phone appeals to me far more than all the high end hardware phones do.

Is stock ICS on it functional, or buggy? I'm thinking about picking it up on the EDGE pay as you go plan, but I was curious about usability during the time when I'm trying to root/recovery/flash the thing. It's been a while since I've done much custom ROM building, but if I can get a working recovery, it would be worth trying to build CM10.2 for this

Its got its visual lag but overall it preforms well. It has great battery life and takes neat slow motion videos. Camera is a bit grainy for 8mp.

Got one for my wife and it is OK but wifi is buggy, Love to see CWM port and some custom roms with jelly bean.
Easy to root I have seen but need recovery. Hopefully CASIO comes out with a OTA.

Koush used to have a generic recovery cooker on his website. Plug in the mount points for system, data, cache, and boot along with some other stuff (I can't remember what offhand) and it spits out a recovery for your device. Might be worth looking into

I'm a noob to the world of all things root I have the original commando the is the m140 root impossible. I'm considering the C811 Commando2 is it root capable All I really want is to be able to remove the bloatware Verizon is likely to put on there. Would that be possible?

This is the one I was thinking of. If any of you are rooted and have the information required here, make a backup up the recovery partition and give it a shot. What's the worst that could happen, you restore the backup? This is assuming you CAN read and write to the recovery with adb/fastboot.

I bought c811 as a second phone to use it in a gsm network, everything works perfectly out of the box but phone is rejecting all incoming calls, I've read exactly the same is happening to people using phone in Canada gsm networks and with at&t sim cards. I've rooted the phone and I've disabled all Verizon bloatware but no luck.
Any clue about this will be highly appreciated.

Please read the entire thread, where it's discussed that there are no known recoveries or roms for this device. I don't have the means to buy one outright, so I can't actually attempt anything with it

And that's not even a guarantee that I'd end up producing results. It just means that there's someone willing to attempt dev work on it

I'm running rooted C811.
Clockworkmod can be downloaded here. Note: don't flash root from that page.
Obtain root from UnlockRootPro.

    Have you managed to install custom recovery?
    Do you have the password to download recovery at your link?

    Yes. The password is: xdamobile

    Motochopper absolutely does root M040 and installs Superuser. Too many on other forums (including myself) have successfully done this. I'm not sure what the issue is that you are having, but it is an isolated incident.

    and this is what i thought glen! over at AF.com i thought everyone was using it to root, but i havent used it myself :-/

    Try this:
    Download this mediafire.com/?az6qo5znf416e6x
    save in Internal SDcard
    Go to phone settings - Backup & restore -> Factory data reset->Reset phone->Erase everything. That should lead you boot to recovery.
    Then Install zip from sdcard >choose zip from sdcard-> go to choose that file-> yes. Reboot and you are done!


    youd need to have a custom recovery installed for this to work man.. if you had that. rooting wouldnt be an issue at all, as you could just flash a rooted nandroid backup..

    You have any luck with it? Does anyone know if there's a fastboot type connection available to dump device block partitions and/or restore them?

    Dear all,
    today I got that jewel directly from the Sud Korea market.

    The hardware version of my model is CA-201L_V3A.M01... does it is new? And the Android version onboard is the 4.0.4.

    I tried to upgrade the system but when I did that I received that message: It is not possible to update it because of the roaming inside now. :confused:

    I am connected by using a WiFi connection and I have also tried with a 4G SIM... same issue. How can I fix it?

    The application suggest to use the SDCard upgrade... but where should I find it?


    Thanks for your support and have a nice day,

    Try to flash with rom here tinyurl.com/kan8h6o.
    Casio lock LTE band at LTE 700, you can't use LTE band if your operator doesn't use this frequency
