[Sony Tablet S] Nesquick95:
Mail to M. Rosenberg

I've sent a mail today to M. Rosenberg, asking for some help :

Hello M. Rosenberg,

As an owner of a Sony Tablet S, I've successfuly used your exploit to gain root.

Unfortunatly, I bricked the device while deleting Sony bloatware on it. The tablet went back

to life after an OTA update that lead it from a #8 kernel build to a #10, no more rootable.

I've try to understand why and discovered that the /log directory now belongs to system group

so ADB could not write in it anymore. I've noticed that /dev/log directory, writable by ADB may

have something to do with the logging process you used and try a lot of (silly) things to adapt

your script without success.

So I've take a look at your other exploits and tought that the one provided for the LG Thrill / Optimus 3D

may work for the Sony Tablet. I've modified your script to match /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 and patched your block

binary to do so but the program failed to open the block device.

We are some people at XDA forum in the same situation, waiting for something to happend about root and

the newly released #10 kernel... It will be very kind from you to find some time for working again on the

Sony Tablet S, giving us some idea, some trick or... a new fully working script !

I'll publish this mail in XDA forum and join the mounts of the Sony Tablet kernel #10...

Best regards,

Nesquick95
