my sony tablet s did not come with usb cable only power supply. I purchased the cable that gives you a full size usb port..

---------- Post added at 08:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 AM ----------

is there another cable? Found a USB A male to micro A male, is this the cable?
[Sony Tablet S] whiterider13:
Yup that is the cable you need.

There was an OTA update pendind for my tablet that I didn't accept in case of some hole fix coming with the new version. I finally did it. 180Mo later, the tablet in HC 3.2 kernel 2.6.36.3. integ-build@10#1 was in HC 3.2.1 (release 2), kernel 2.6.36.3 integ-build@build8#1.

Unfortunately Sony closed the leak in the latest version build#9 and build#10 and I see no progress of the developer side to find and/or publish a new root tool.

It sounds bad but this is the current status. :-(

[Sony Tablet S] Judah001:
Maybe we should reach out to Djrbliss asking if he can find a way. I have visited his site several times looking at the devices he roots and it seems way too easy for him. Could we possibly start a thread with info on the unrootable builds? I am not nearly smart enough to understand the technical piece of it but I can help coordinate it. I know thomas.raines has been working on a custom recovery for the tab but has been unable to reroot his devise after reflashing an unrootable build. Any thoughts?

[Sony Tablet S] agc93:
Hi all,

This could just be me or may have been mentioned before, but I couldn't find it with search.

I successfully rooted my Tablet S with this exploit (directly, not through condi's tool) and my last rooted device (a Galaxy Tab) allowed me to remount the system partition as r-w through adb using "adb remount". On this tablet, this command returns Operation Not Permitted.

Has my root not fully worked? Or is this tablet just a bit more finicky with adb then others?

Thanks,

my tablet just came back from service (no warranty problem), but it came with build#10 and it says that it is unrootable for now...

Edit: wait wait wait...today when i checked my tablet version it says build@build6 #1...how can it change??

FANTASTIC! just as i said, my tablet changed it's version from build 10 to build 6 and i can root now!! believe me, i really don't know how...
[Sony Tablet S] Aspire4520:
:eek:How come?
[Sony Tablet S] sapphire88:
I don't know how but it's true, in fact with build 10 the all in one root program said that that kernel build couldn't be rooted, and yesterday my kernel version became build 6 #1...so with the aio program...
[Sony Tablet S] Elsydeon:
It's strange but I can confirm this also. I just received my brand new Tablet S straight from Sony 2 days ago, immediately updated it to the latest firmware, and attempted to root it last night. Could not get it to work because it was on build #10. I gave up and left it overnight, came back today, messed with it here and there all day...then ran across this post. I thought what the heck, went in to take a look at my kernal version and I'll be damned, it now says it's 2.6.36.4, build5 #1! I went ahead and retried the rooting and it worked!!! I'm not going to question what happened and am just counting my lucky stars. So happy it worked as this tablet finally being rooted and all the tweaking options that brings was what swayed me to go ahead and pick it up over the new iPad.

So, for those of you that were on build 10 and thought you were out of luck...might just want to check in with your kernel version again. Who knows, it might've changed on you to an older one somehow without you knowing it...
[Sony Tablet S] dantheman122:
Hope this happens to mine as well, did you guys do anything special or just leave it alone and noticed it went back?
[Sony Tablet S] sapphire88:
Nothing special, just checked the firmware version (just to be sure) and it was (and still is) build6 #1...hope that the same happens to all of you!

[Sony Tablet S] zlowram:
Hi there!

Since I'm not a windows user, I took the freedom to port the rooting script to Unix. I rooted my Sony Tablet S with it and it works flawlessly.

Just download the root pack on the first post, put the "run.sh" script (it is attached to this post) inside it and go!

I do not claim any copyright for this, you can find the copyright of the original author in the script. Just added that I made the port.

Enjoy!

- zlOwram

P.S: If anyone had done this before, my apologies :)
[Sony Tablet S] dantheman122:
Anyone else tried this? Will it work with build 10?
[Sony Tablet S] obicom:
I didn't try it .. but he used exactly the same security vulnerability, so that I must guess it will not work with build#10 too. He adapted only the batch file to an unix compatible one (thanks for that, great job).
[Sony Tablet S] zlowram:
Yes, as you say I only ported the batch file to bash, the vulnerability is exactly the same. Not a great work, but might be useful to someone, since I needed it for me :)

Btw, you're welcome :p

hi ..

I just bought Tablet S yesterday .. my question is should I root first the tablet then update the firmware .. or update firmware first to ICS 4.0.3 then root the device? thanks..
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
ROOT FIRST. Then you have to pre-root ics before installing it. Instructions are on condi's Sony Tablet All In One Tool thread.

Chur
[Sony Tablet S] ross231:
Does this work on the uk ota ics update? (out on 30th may) is there going to be any ICS custom roms? CM9? :(
[Sony Tablet S] Nesquick95:
If your tablet is actually rooted, follow Condi's instructions (AiO tool in "Android development" forum) to perform ICS update and you will keep root.

If your tablet isn't rooted and is rootable, root it before ICS update.

If your tablet isn't rootable (kernel 10 issue), update to ICS by the regular way when it comes then wait for something able to root ICS. There's actually no way to do it.

Sony tablet S is a hard-locked device and isn't a best seller on the Android development scene, so chances to have custom ROMs one day are few.
[Sony Tablet S] moz4r:
kernel 10 issue bye bye 4 me

Hi, maybe can help ? i had kernel 10 version. I Apply an ota update ( not ics !!! ) : 3.2.1 (R2)

Now i have kernel build6 :confused: and succefull root :-)
[Sony Tablet S] Nesquick95:
Maybe you had HC 3.2 kernel 10 (unrootable) and the OTA update brought you HC 3.2.1 kernel 6... It seems to be a normal update's way to go from 3.2 to 3.2.1.

Be careful by the way if you get another HC update before the ICS one (expected tomorrow! ), it will leads you to unrootable 3.2.1 kernel 10. It's my story...
[Sony Tablet S] ajujo:
Hi,

I got ICS today, its great but it quit my root but i tried to keep it through OTA rootkeeper. But ii cannot restore it now the kernel is 2.6.39.4 @ build 8 can I root it again with this method???

Thanks in advance
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
Nope, ota rootkeeper doesnt work on sony tab s. Im sorry but you cant root your tab for now.
[Sony Tablet S] ajujo:
Ops!!
[Sony Tablet S] whiterider13:
You can try doing a factory data reset. I had used OTA rootkeeper and accepted the official ICS and lost root also. I did a factory reset and it went back to honeycomb. If it works for you, then you can pre root with condi's AIO tool.

I have CWM installed internally from the 1 click app. I can boot into cwm recovery fine.If I then install stock recovery and boot into it, I get an error saying to turn off device and call BN support. Turn device on and I'm in endless boot loop cycle. I can get out of it but just wondering why it's happening. Thanks
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Omg seriously? ... no, you CANT boot to stock recovery only CWM is the modified accessible to boot into so you can flash other ROMs and more. Now you have to try a system factory reset and a erase deregister(wipe data) you can try the faster method for a factory reset that is stickied here in general forum. If that doesn't work then you have to prepare a CWM to boot from a sdcard and flash a ROM from there. Read my FAQ is stickied too for farther information.

Have fun!

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] sailerph:
OK, Thanks I admit it was dumb. But just so I know, What is that button for ? "install stock recovery" and how is it used, for what purpose? You are very helpful. Thanks again
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mikedett91:
The stock recovery is so you can do a factory restore, so take veronica's advice to get a working nook back
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
stock recovery is the recovery that came with your device and you can't boot into it because it contains the factory restore, when you flash CWM the recovery partition containing your stock recovery is overridden by it, so if you flash your stock recovery back it will override CWM recovery and so you can't/should boot into it.

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Denmmurray:
I believe it is supposed to allow you to revert to stock 1.40 with all the B&N features available however I'm guessing based on Indirect's CWM flasher that the stock recovery gets knocked out and CWM takes it's place, although I could be wrong.

Veronica?

Edit: so I was kind of right.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] sailerph:
So, If you flash stock recovery,then back out to settings and deregister device, what will happen ? Thanks
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
It should wipe all your data, cache, settings (/Data partition) like apps.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Know-Fear:
This just proves the point I made somewhere along the lines yesterday. Rooting and modification of any device just isn't for everyone. You MUST learn to read and comprehend what you read to move forward. There just isn't a lot more disheartening than checking the forums and seeing a thread started by someone with 5 posts asking what to do now? When in reality, you look around and you see their first posts went something like this:

1. I missed CM7 when it was posted, can someone send it to me?

2. I got CWM installed fine, but when I try to flash CM7, I get an error.

3. Nvm, I see now this isn't a flashable .zip.

4. I got CM7 booted up fine, but OMG <fill in some random app name> isn't working!!! I think I am just gonna go back to stock

5. <Welcome to this thread>

Learn to use the search function and learn to read. The last time I looked, there were 43 pages of comments in the CM7 ROM thread. (not counting those that have already been cleaned out) and I have read them all. Probably close to twice. Same with the development thread.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Land Master:
It is my opinion that this thread should be merged with This One as the symptoms seem the same.

With this said I can understand why some users are having issues understanding Indirect's "Recovery Flasher".

I would think that if you Restore and attempt to Reboot into Stock Recovery that the device should at a minimum reboot to the Factory Rest screen. Perhaps it should just reboot and restore the stock firmware without prompt, but either way it should not cause a boot loop, blank screen, etc.

IMO, if the "reboot recovery" button was only meant to be used while CWM was installed, then it should be greyed-out when the Stock recovery occupies the recovery partition.

(BTW.... Is it CONFIRMED that the replacement recovery is 1.4.0)?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
(BTW.... Is it CONFIRMED that the replacement recovery is 1.4.0)?[/QUOTE]

It should be because it is the first version that the NT came with and the one that most people use apart of CM7.

Yes the stock recovery is 1.4.0. I tested this.out a little bit ago.

[Android Apps and Games] cashmundy:
Firefox Aurora, which will be Firefox 12, has a whole bunch of new permissions. Do you want your browser to take pictures, discover known accounts, administer accounts, etc.? Me, I just want it to render HTML while leaking as little info as possible. So, if you're concerned about privacy and security, heads-up.

This is too bad, because other than the spyware permissions, it's a big improvement over previous non-ndk Fennec, meaning actually usable.
[Android Apps and Games] demo23019:
i noticed the camera ..ect prior to installing went and checked official and beta its the same thing

not new

and the whole account ect. this has to do with new firefox sync app that comes with Aurora

so you can set up an account to sync your desktop browser to your phone
[Android Apps and Games] xdaid:
There are no "spyware permissions".

Permissions are just FYI, they're not telling you that an app is a spyware or not. I know sometimes it's hard to figure out why an app includes certain permissions, as a developer i can tell you that most of the times i have to add a permission in order to include code which is so poorly related to the scary permission's description.

Atm I'm having trouble with a user's review, it argued my app was malware just because new permissions were added.

In my opinion firefox products are safe and i'm using Aurora at the moment.

With this i'm not saying "go and install all the worst stuff you can find", paying attention to privacy and security is obviously a good thing... unless it turns into "android-specific-permissions-fobia", sure, because the other systems (PC, Mac, Linux, iOs, whatever) don't have user permissions so you just install a new app and stay happy.
[Android Apps and Games] cashmundy:
There are a lot of apps that will request things like "read phone state and identity" that have no plausible reason for doing so except tracking/spying. Many run fine with it disabled.

I don't want to keep my bookmarks in the cloud, so the Aurora perms are just a privacy/security risk for me. Note that if a browser process is hijacked by malware, the malware will presumably inherit the permissions, making the trustworthiness of Mozilla moot.

If Aurora only needed the permissions when attempting to set up sync,

that would be tolerable for me, but it crashes on startup without them.
[Android Apps and Games] demo23019:
i set up one time sync to transfer bookmarks

then went to sync under the setting witch brings me to my OS account/sync menu

and disabled from attempting sync it still working fine for me

you can also delete the sync account also and still works fine

sync is not integrated into the browser for some reason maybe because it still alpha

but its integrated into official and beta browser and don't have these permission you're worrying over nothing
[Android Apps and Games] teorouge:
Actually Aurora got Sync back a few nightlies ago: now you have an icon in Programs and it's in Settings - Account too. Sync is the main reason I use FF on Android, it's brilliant! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] cashmundy:
I'm sure a lot of people are not concerned with security, data-harvesting, etc. I am, and some other folks must be also or CM wouldn't have added permissions management. A lot of things work fine with half their permissions disabled (Firefox being one). Others don't. Audible, for example, just won't run without "read phone state." I guess Amazon really wants that IMEI #.

Maybe they will patch Aurora so it will run without accounts access unless you try to set up sync.

Google's whole business model is based on data-harvesting. The ICS stock Music Player won't even work at all until you sign in.

Not everyone wants to be monetized in exchange for convenience.
[Android Apps and Games] spunker88:
Mozilla is trustworthy enough, they are a non-profit open source company that has been around for years, I'm sure they have a legit reason for the permissions.

Solution = who uses firwdox anyway?.. Boat browser!

Sent from your bedroom with my GT-I9100
[Android Apps and Games] cashmundy:
Boat is what I mostly use. It wants a lot of permissions but runs just fine with them disabled. I was using Aurora as much as possible until I discovered the permissions.

Boat also stores bookmarks locally, and can save/restore from sdcard, just what I want. No shipping them off to Google or wherever they go for me, thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Magnumutz:
Why would anyone use Firefox anyways?

It's slower than the default browser and it STILL doesn't support FLASH!
[Android Apps and Games] cornelha:
Odd how suddenly permissions became an issue when android decided to tell you what permissions are requested, yet before when you had your nokia/htc/motorola running other OS's, you would install any crap and not worry about it. What is the developer gonna do? Hack naked pics of your gf from your phone? Phone your friends and prank them? Show your mom you browsing dodgy pornsites from her pretty new android phone? Seriously now, everyone is making such a huge fuss about this its bordering on conspiracy paranoia
[Android Apps and Games] cashmundy:
I put this posting up as a heads-up for my fellow paranoids, people who actually think about who might get their credit/phone/ssn/email etc., not for the benefit or convenience of app writers. It's like the whining from Swype about how they really needed accurate imeis or whatever so they could count unique installs. And dear Google wants everything they can get, now in one convenient location, so and only so they can serve you the right ads, and you can trust that they will never decide to more directly realize the huge shareholder value locked up there, and that they will never be cracked.

Privacy and security are like a gun: you don't need them until you *really* need them.
[Android Apps and Games] xdaid:
I understand your point of view, what i can't understand is why some people scream "beware spyware!" while they actually have no proofs at all.

permission + permission = spyware, it's a weird math which tends to damage developers and the whole android's world.
