gingerbread for sc-02b

---

For those with NTT sc-02b. there is a new firmware available on KIES. it is 2.3.3. baseband sc02bomke3. i updated my phone but in my opinion, it kinda suck.

Works good for me. Its much smoother than the previous rom. But, i cant figure out how to root.

Tried super one click and the gingerbreak .apk. they just run forever.

I just upgraded too.

Works good for me too (actually seems faster from the get-go and I like the new status bar design).

Unfortunately One Click Root is not working for me either.

There are some instructions on how to get it to work already on komugi.net but they are beyond my abilities.

Unfortunately XDA won't let me post direct links yet so here are the instructions copied directly from the site

In Japanese...

この画面を見た時は＼ｵﾜﾀ／と思ったのですが生きてました。

・やり方
1. アップデートのdecode済みファイルを入手する。
2. boot.bin と Sbl.bin を抜いてリパックする。カーネル単体のも作る。
3. リパックしたファイルを Odin3 で flash
4. 適当な rootカーネルを Odin3 で flash
5. リカバリモードから suコマンドを送り込み chmod 6755 su する。
（ドコモロゴで止まった場合でもadb shellから操作可能）
6. Odin3で純正カーネルをflashする。
7. 起動後に root になって Superuser.apk とか busybox とか入れる。
8. おわり。

・問題点
リカバリモードに入れない。
毎回起動時に↑画像のように画面が乱れる。
（画面が乱れるのはbootloaderを更新していない事が原因の模様）

・追記
bootloaderのアップデートを行っても特に問題無く「4.」以降の作業が行える事を確認した。
この場合問題点は全て解決される。
従来のCWMはRecoveryの仕様が変わったため使用不可。

English Translation (from Excite)...

It lives and [ma****a] . though thought ＼ [owata]/when this screen is seen.

･Way
1. The file that is decode of the update is obtained.
2. With boot.bin Sbl.bin is pulled out and [ripakku]ed. The kernel unit is made.
3. The [ripakku]ed file With Odin3 Flash.
4. It is suitable The root kernel With Odin3 Flash.
5. From the recovery mode The su command is sent Chmod 6755 su is done.
(It is possible to operate it from adb shell even when stopping in the DoCoMo logo. )
6. Flash does a pure kernel with Odin3.
7. After it starts Become root Superuser.apk Busybox is put.
8. End.

･Problem
It doesn't put it in the recovery mode.
The screen falls into disorder like ↑ image when starting every time.
(It is a pattern that the screen falls into disorder caused by the thing that bootloader has not been renewed. )

･Postscript
The thing that it was possible to work especially unquestionably since "4." even if bootloader was renewed was confirmed.
In this case, all problems are solved.
Because the specification of Recovery changed, past CWM cannot be used.


Hopefully someone will figure out a simpler method soon or dumb it down a bit for me

Yeah. . . Looks rather complicated. I'm hoping for something that can be undone as well, but alas. I may have to finally study up on using Odin and all that jazz.

Chainfire's cf root method can be used to root this version with one additional step. After flashing and booting one time Chainfire's cf kernel you will have to go back to download mode and re-flash the original ke3 kernel. This will leave you with busybox, su, and superuser install in the correct places. You will not have 2e recovery or cwmod and there will be a couple of Chainfire's utilities that won't work on our kernel that you should be able to uninstall. Since none of his kernels are the same as ours I used the newest one from around post 6. I've done this a couple of times and it seems to work well. As always I take no responsibility if you brick your phone. I have attached the original ke3 kernel the tar file inside the attached zip may take a long time to flash possibly because I made it in 7zip instead of booting ti Linux to make it properly.
If your not comfortable playing with Odin and flashing phones I recommend waiting on someone to come up with a safer process.

Thanks for the tips dejanet...

I gave it a try using CF-Root 3.7 and my SC-02B is stuck in a startup loop now... Maybe I did something wrong though? I don't need to select a PIT file in Odin, do I?

I'll give it another go with an older version of CF-Root, but if you have a specific version that you know works and any tips, that'd be great.

I used the newest one. And you for sure don't want to use a pit file or repartition. You might want to flash back to the ke3 kernel first.

OK! Had to reset my phone to factory once for some reason, but then I was able to flash just as you suggested and it worked fine this time. No looping.

Maybe there was something dirty in the system that was interferring? Maybe I should have tried clearing cache from recovery instead of just restoring to factory first...

Anyway:

Used Cf-root 3.7 flashed PDA with Odin once, rebooted... no baseband..
Used the stock kernel you provided (thank you very much) flashed PDA with Odin and done.

SC-02B 2.3.3 version KE3 Rooted!

(Only really sad thing about resetting to factory was that I hadn't been able to run Titanium Backup without root, so I lost all my Angry Birds progress since the 7th. (T_T) ... some lost spmode emails too, but no big deal.)

rooted 2.3.3 gps problem

---

My sc-02b rooted 2.3.3 but gps cannot work. I used Angrygps/GPS status/GPS test to connect the satellite, but it's all failed. I also followed the instruction to set up angrygps and gps.conf. Any one know what happen? Is it caused by rooted rom?
Thanks.

Glad you we're able to get root working. Can't think of anything in the root process that would break GPS I rarely use it with this phone sine it has never worked well for me I'll play with it tomorrow.
