au KDDI HTC J Butterfly [JAPAN] Unlock/Recovery/Root/AUrora v.1.0.2 ROM

This is for all users of the HTC J Butterfly (HTL21) that was released in Japan.

For any of the below procedures, read the instructions several times before attempting. Also, please copy/paste any commands in the code boxes so you avoid making typing mistakes.

You can find me on IRC, irc.andirc.net #HTCJButterfly - but it's not a dedicated channel and I'm usually only on in the evenings, JST.

To do this, I assume you have the proper tools set up, are familiar with doing ADB commands, are aware that I (or the other posters) are NOT liable for any damage that you might do to your phone. Proceed at your own risk.

Unlock: Yes (日本語で from fnoji111 / simplified English explanation from samusx)
Here, we will get temproot, change the CID, then unlock the phone through the htcdev website.


Custom Recovery and Root: YES
Phone unlocked? Good. Thanks to drewx2, we now have a working custom recovery, and we can get root as well. We'll do this in one go. We will flash the custom recovery, change the theme so that the recovery fits on the screen, then flash SuperSU. Oh, let's flash Busybox as well.


Custom ROMs: Yes
J Butterfly Stock Rooted ROM 1.15.970.1 (odex)
J Butterfly Stock Rooted ROM 1.15.970.1 (deodex) - Camera will crash if you try and record a video, seeing what can be done to resolve this. Please use the odex'd rom instead if you need to video record.
AUrora v1.0.2 - See Post #2

S-OFF: YES
Please go to http://unlimited.io/ - The DirtyRacun S-OFF method has been released for this phone. You can find this method under the S-OFF Exploits menu.
(Please note that support for S-OFF will not be available on this thread, please ask the developers at the unlimited.io website if you have any troubles or issues with the S-OFF method)

SIM Unlock: Yes
There is a guide written by fnoji111. Because I have not tested this myself, I cannot provide any assistance if you find yourself in trouble. DO THIS PROCEDURE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

AUrora v1.0.2

AUrora ROM v1.0.2

The prep for unlocking the phone is simple.
First you need to have the Android SDK installed and ready to go. If you don't know how watch this video and follow the guide.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glGdw2HAumg
This is where to get the android sdk and the written guide.
http://droidmodderx.com/galaxynexus/how-to-set-up-the-sdk-for-galaxy-nexus

Before you start in your Android phone settings click about then click the Phone identity tab. Make a note of your IMEI and MEID number.
The get these two files and put them in the android-sdk-windows/platform-tools folder.
diaggetroot.apk
getroot

These two files can be downloaded here.
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8LDObFOpzZqQzducmxjRExXNnM/edit?pli=1

You will a HEX file editor. Just google search for Free HEX editor and you will be able to find one.

This guide was written for Windows users. Sorry I don't use MAC.

STEP 1: Get administration privileges

With the diaggetroot.apk and getroot files put in the android SDK platform-tools folder right click on an empty space in the browser window and open a command prompt window (cmd)

Copy and paste this into the the cmd window and push 'enter'.
adb install diaggetroot.apk

It should push the file to the android system folder.
Then copy and paste these lines and push 'enter' after each.
adb push getroot /data/local/tmp/getroot
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/getroot

Now on your android phone itself open your app drawer and open the app we just pushed to the system. It should be called BreakSuidiag or something like that. It will have a generic android icon.

When you open it, you should see a white screen and it will say "hello world".

Back on your PC in the same cmd window as before paste these lines and push 'enter' after each.
adb shell
/dev/sh

You should now see the '#' mark in the cmd window. Thats good.
(If it didn't work, turn your wifi on then off. Then try the two above lines again.)

Now make sure you have an SD card in your J Butterfly. This process will erase your SD card so make sure you have your data backed up.
In the same cmd window copy and paste this line.
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 of=/storage/ext_sd/mmcblk0p5ORIG

You should see some writing that says the it made a file or something along those lines.
This will copy a file to your SD card called mmcblk0p5ORIG.
Now in your android options window unmount the SD card. Then remove the card and plug it into your PC and open the mmcblk0p5ORIG file with a HEX editor.

You will see a bunch of numbers that look like this.


Make sure the numbers underlined in orange(IMEI) and blue(MEID) match the numbers that you got from your Phone identity info.
There won't be XXXXXXX in your version, those are added here to protect this users personal phone identity numbers. In your file please do not add X's. Leave the numbers as they are but just make sure they match the numbers you made a note of before.

You only have to make a small edit to this file. The text that reads "KDDI_801" must be set to "11111111" That is 8, 1's that perfectly replace the "KDDI_801". When you are done it will look like this.


Now save that edited file back to the SD card named 'mmcblk0p5MOD' and they you can eject your SD card from your PC and put it back in your J Butterfly.

Now we will write this file to the phones data. Copy and paste these into the cmd window and push 'enter' after each.
dd if=/storage/ext_sd/mmcblk0p5MOD of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
reboot bootloader

Your phone should reboot.

After it does copy and paste this and push 'enter'.
fastboot oem readcid

You should see a screen that shows you "11111111" meaning that your new CID number is set.

Now you can follow the HTC dev unlock steps from the link at the top of this post.
Here is the like to the HTC dev unlock page.

I hope everyone is able to follow my guide. Good luck.

MAJOR props to Zarboz for all of his help on this one!
