Bricked mine

I'm sorry for posting this in two different threads.

I ended up bricking mine trying to install init.d support. I really need access to the proper region zip update to unbrick my device. The version number luckily is 1 in build.prop, before it got bricked, so I could proceed with a flash if I had the zip. My backup zip is gone and I can't access the internal memory where a backup was also copied to . Here's information about my device:

ro.build.description=nbx03_001-user 3.2.1 THMAS0042 0042.001

I would be so grateful if someone with the same region (North America) can provide me with a zip, preferably the newest one rooted. Thanks!

P.S. It must be a signed zip
[Sony Tablet S] Schrammi:
3.2.1, oh ok... :(

When I root the zip I flashed and modify it with your tool can I get back to a rooted version?

Its exactly as it says - you need root to use custom prerooted zip.

Check your PM ;)

Same as above - to use custom prerooted zip root is required.

[Sony Tablet S] condi:
tell me what have you done step by step before brick.

have you messed with /configs/region.zip ?

what is current state of device when normal booting?

check device manager in control panel - is it showing up there?

Thank you for your answer. Can you send me please a PM with a rooted .zip for Germany SGPT114DE? That would be very nice :-)

1-yes 2- ? 3-yes how to make a racovery.log?while i'm in recovery adb can't find the device and when is boot the file not exist

sorry for the noob question
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Drivers...

If it is the right file then change the incremental value under vendor.prop in the vendor folder. Change to 1 then you can flash the file. If that doesnt work then try get the recovery log
[Sony Tablet S] masterchif92:
i don't know how to get recovery log you can tell me how to do it? thx for help

EDIT:changing vendor prop doesn't work

EDIT2:LOG ATTACHED

for chinese tablet, in custome rom update, i am getting an error, external sd card not found.. how to proceede? BUT actually a 16 gb card is present.
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
So what model do you have? There was alot of updates in that log. One said xperia. So you are trying to use aio to downgrade to 3.2.1 custom wirh root etc??

Did you pull that log from recovery??
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
From Condi's ALLinONE post:

[FAQ - frequently asked questions v0.2]:

7. I've flashed 'custom prerooted ICS'. I want Honeycomb 3.2.1r2 back!

Can I

downgrade my device from prerooted 4.03 to 3.2.1r2

?

- YES! In few simple steps:

1. Boot into RECOVERY;

2. Flash 3.2.1r2 update zip (removed from s.ony server - added mirror :) );

3. During flash tablet will reboot 3 or 4 times, with 'green dots' screen.

Just before last 3rd dot reboot you've got to hold VOL+ button,

to get to RECOVERY just after flashing complete! IMPORTANT!;

4. Wipe device;

5. DONE.

Wipe just after flash is very important, because if you will not gonna do this,

then it will be bootlooped in start animation, after wipe will boot correctly,

but after another reboot it will gonna boot again into ICS!

So if you will not gonna wipe just after flash, then just start all over again.

[Sony Tablet S] maxiii:
Firstly thanks Condi for your ultimate tool :good:

Friends, i have a noob question to ask.. i am going to try Link2SD on my tab but before i decided to try "Enable write permissions to SD." in this aio tool. I want to ask what's really mean of Enable write permissions to SD? i want to free up some space on my tab, thats why i was going to try link2sd. With this mod, is there any need of link2sd?

edit: My tab totally empty. I have applied "Enable write permissions to SD.", now does this mean when i install the game, game data will go to external memory card (sd card)?

Thanks for your time and efforts friends
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
User write permissions to external SD cards was disabled in ICS (Android 4.0). Condi's AiO tool provides for re-enabling user write permissions to external SD cards.

No, not automatically. You must manually move data to the external SD card or if an app provides the ability, use the apps settings to cause its data to be stored to external SD card.

My device has SGPT112BE/S on it, which is not listed in stifilz's thread. What should I download?
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
The ones labeled Belgium WIFI Only SGPT111BE/S. The only difference between the SGPT111BE/S (16 GB version) and the SGPT112BE/S (32 GB version) is the tablet's installed memory size, and the tablet's installed memory size is irrelevant to the update files.

Sony Tablet P - Cannot Root

Hi, Just got my hands on a Tablet P and have been banging my head against a wall trying to root the darn thing.

Tablet Details:

Error message from S.onyTablet.s v4.1

I was under the impression that S.onyTablet.s v4.1 could root a Tablet P with Kernel version 2.6.36.3 integ-build@build5 #1? Am I wrong does anyone have some suggestions?

Would really appreciate some advice.

Regards

StalkS
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
3.2.1 yes 3.2 no.

Can you upgrade to ics?? Look at my signature updates link. Once you have ics you can root and then downgrade to hc if you insist. Please look at my faq also.

Stifilz
[Sony Tablet S] StalkS:
Thanks so much for the response. I missed that completly which rom do you suggest? I cannot see one for the UK 3g Tablet P.

Apologies I am just reading through the faq in your link. I should have done that first.

Regards

StalkS
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Wow. Didnt realise I missed that one.... Can you please look in the file build.prop under system folder... I need the nbx02_0xx and will have a llok for you.

SGPT212GB/S (3g +wi-fi)

Is it this one "ro.sony.update.service_id=nbx02_002"

and it also states "ro.sony.update.category_id=ST001"

Found this : http://info.update.sony.net/ST003/nbx02_002/contents/0003/signed-nbx02_002-ota-120510019.zip - Actually this is already listed as the France WIFI + 3G SGPT212FR/S release - Could they be the same? I noticed that there are two 4.0.3 releases listed there. The difference being 002 & 003.

any idea which one it is?

Also - Not having a rom that has Root enabled - How do I go about getting the above ICS rom decrypted / rooted & more importantly onto my device? Most of the posts I have read say to use the ALLinONE software which of does not work with 3.2.

Thanks

StalkS
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Thought that might be the case. Install the one that matches nbx02 number. Install from recovery then root etc. Have you tried system, update?
[Sony Tablet S] StalkS:
Do I not have to worry about my kernal being upgraded to the 10 version if I use the system - update route?
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Not an issue for ics as it is a new root method using ics adb restore
[Sony Tablet S] StalkS:
Brilliant thanks so much for your patience, I just didn't want to go down a route with no way back.

So just to completely confirm - I can do a Settings - System - OTA update to the latest ICS release and still root?

Again I'm sorry to repeat the same questions over and over but there are a lot of contradictory posts about the latest ICS releases.

Thanks again

StalkS
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Yup, go for it :) Or download the OTA and install throught recovery, same thing :)

[Sony Tablet S] Silver-Eye:
Hey guys, I was a bit away, and when I came back...boom new update, new condi tool, new everything! :)

ok, just read the last pages and tried to download the ota update (i have a rooted ics, previous vs) to do a root again..

But when doing the ota update, the tab rebooted and gave me a "error code 7" unable to update.. any thoughts?

Edit: Google is a beautifull tool! :D just needed to put my region back to default in Aio tool..

Answer was is pag 32 :p

Ok guys, updated to new ics OTA, now its just rooting through Aio tool? Like the 1St time?

Thanks!

Edit2:

wow, from what iam reading there is another update (i updated to 4.03.r1) im gonna wait till it comes out to Europe..

Meanwhile because it souldnt take long, im not gonna root this version.. or should i?
[Sony Tablet S] StalkS:
PERFECT! Updated to ICS and Rooted! - Many thanks for your time and help! :victory:

If anyone is interested I followed this POST

StalkS:
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
I would root and then use aio custom update to be 100% safe. Never know when they could patch it. Although US release 5 is not patched.
[Sony Tablet S] Silver-Eye:
Thanks for the answer.. going to root it then.. need to see the aio tool tutorial again, as I dont remember how I did it for the 1st time :D

Cheers!

Hi there.

I just get my Tablet today and I try to root it but this error message came up.

Is it really like it sais, or do ive made a mistake?

I'm running ICS 4.0.3 r1a.

I've tried to run the script from Bin4ry but it always sais that it has not the permission to write or that there isnt "such a file or directory"...

Also my Play Store and some other apps are away now...
[Sony Tablet S] gordo79:
Yeah 4.0.3 r1a can't be rooted with allinone , some people have had issues with the root method I linked you to there is a way to roll back and try again in there somewhere.
[Sony Tablet S] Jonster111:
OK THX very much. I could roll back and everything is fine now. But is there really no metoth to root it with this version? And also my Play Store Force closes...

[Sony Tablet S] im_iceman:
I'd UN root.. upgrade through the official OTA the re root using BINARY's ics rooter. Much simpler process.
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Either that or above as im_iceman said. This version is rootable by new method. Pre root is alot safer for future updating though.

You do have the right JAVA installed, yes?
[Sony Tablet S] OCedHrt:
Many people seem to have issues with the semi auto script. One step I missed is that you need to run two scripts manually in the terminal window. To be safe, run 'id' in the terminal to make sure it is running as system. There is expected to be a file not found error and some cp errors during the setting restore strips; also one error from each script in the terminal.
[Sony Tablet S] mawnstermew:
i think i do have the right java installed, downloaded from oracle the SE and the Development Kit? or maybe im thinking someone who has a US type Sony S tablet that can upload his 4.0.3 RC1 or even better RC5 signed custom update so i can download it and flash it directly. i think that would work? im really stuck on signing. and google has no help either :(
[Sony Tablet S] mawnstermew:
successfully solved my problem.. all i have to do is to increase the VM Heap size and all went well... I successfully installed 4.0.3 rc1 and updated to rc5 by downloading the full rom around 260mb+ and updated it via recovery mode. I tried b4nary's script but it doesnt work. saying permission denied on the autome.bat. any ideas how to put root on rc5?
[Sony Tablet S] im_iceman:
Make sure you run the script as 'administrator'
[Sony Tablet S] vlamers:
I installed ICS rev5 directly through AIO4.0 tool.

Some problems with region.zip:

First the script changes language (region.zip)

than I have to flash hack_recovery(just enter recovery, its automated but the same step), but this always gives me an error.

Solution for me:

opened the script in a second terminal and changed region manually to US and flashed hack_recovery (script automated this step, but does the same, on entering recovery screen)

Than all went ok. ( changed VM Heap to 300MB)

Thx

Please Help me .... Tablet S bricked after region change

Hi to all ... i had a fully rooted and working Tablet S with ICS 4.0.3r1a (Switzerland) with AiO rescue-backdoor installed ... then i changed the region with Condi AiO 4.1 and during the change the electricity is gone :(

On my Tablet was apparently all ok ... also i started again the Region change but AiO stucks at the change .... it was late also i turned all off and go to bed.

Next day i turn Tablet on and it stucks at SONY logo :(

First i try the 3.2.1r2 update.zip as explained from condi but in recovery mode it say to me that buil.prop is not the build.prop file !!!?

Tryed many other update.zips but nothing was working ...

After tryed _hack_recovery.zip and it gave me the build.prop error ... i had ADB access over USB with my Tablet.

tryed ...

"adb push build.prop /system/build.prop" but Permission denied was the answer

"adb shell" and become $

"su" id: not fount

"/system/bin/su" and become #

"/system/bin/mount" and i see that "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system ext4 rw,relatime,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0"

opened another ADB command and "adb remount" ... received this error "remount failed: Operation not permitted"

I made a copy of build.prop in my SDCARD and tryed in SHELL with su # "/system/bin/cp /sdcard/build.prop /system/build.prop" but received permission denied :(

with "/system/lib/ls /system" i can't see any build.prop :(

Now my question ... any idea how i can copy my backup build.prop in /system ?

Who can help me ?

I noticed that on my sony s tab there are random screen touch response even without touching the screen. Its really getting annoying. Any idea how to cure this thng?
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
Your tablet could be possessed by a poltergeist. Perhaps having a Catholic priest perform an exorcism will cure the problem. :D

Seriously, the problem may be related to your tablet's touch settings. Go into Settings. Select Accessibility. Select Touch & hold delay. Select Medium (Short is default).
[Sony Tablet S] papacarla:
Don't use the all_in_one 4.1. Use the 4.0 one. It is exactly what I know.:cool:

It is what I don't know exactly, but I would try it if I had your problem: :eek:

At first:

Do you have an official signed update zip and hack_recovery.zip?

If you do what error is displayed when you put the hack_recovery.zip on extSD and run recovery mode?

If there is the error 7 then you should try to use decrypt the official update zipfile by AiO.;)

I don't now how the script will start working under recovery but you should try it. :o

If you did it already i think you know how to do it(decrypt update file). It musts help you to flash new update to get the new build.prop:laugh:
[Sony Tablet S] mawnstermew:
changed it... i do hope that it fixes it cuz its really annoying ill observe it for a day thanks! Btw.. to some point i thought that my house/tablet was possed xD
[Sony Tablet S] mawnstermew:
The problem is still there.. the tab still touches the screen allmby himself :( im thinking that its related to kernel I have the same problem with my ace when I installed one. I. On 2.6.39.4 integ-build@build 5 #1
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
I doubt the problem is being caused by the Linux kernel because many people (including myself) are running 2.6.39.4 integ-build@build 5 #1 and are not experiencing the problem (to the best of my knowledge).

My recommendation now is to look for an ill-behaved app. Because you said you experienced the same problem with your Galaxy Ace phone, it is possibly an app that you have installed on both your Galaxy Ace phone and Sony tablet.

Can someone please try decrypt function with the R5 rom installed. I am not able to get it to work. Had it working multiple times with r1a.

Just wanting to know if it is me, lol.

But I think it has changed in R5 and AIO doesn't like it :(
[Sony Tablet S] vlamers:
Hi,

I used AIO to decrypt R5. No problems.

Where did you stuck?
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Not to decrypt R5. When you have R5 installed to decrypt something else. Was working flawlessly on R1A. It gets stuck at the three DOTS and does not come up with Shell Enabled.

I have use AIO before to decrypt many updates, to find the region to add to my OTA Links thread.

Just strange how it is crapping out now.

Stifilz

UPDATE:

I have reinstalled ICS R0 and still having trouble decrypting updates. I THINK RECOVERY VERSION HAS CHANGED FOR GOOD after R5 Update :(

Adb shell is not working in recovery now, it comes up with "error: closed"

Also adb devices comes up as 0123456789ABCDEF Recovery

Which is not the normal number

Hence why decrypt etc is not working :(

Please please, clam down everyone, R5 is completely fine, Im currently on it and have got root working perfectly, all i had to do was Factory reset ofter the update, then just booted up, enabled debugging, and ran the Auto script by Bin4ry and it worked perfectly.

I am wondering why all this crap suddenly came about the recovery changing. BIG WOOP. Doesnt affect us in the slightest. If you have ADB problems, fix your computer drivers. Dont say its not working anymore.
[Sony Tablet S] biablo:
Stifilz i had same problem with decrypt. I ended succed r5 decrypt root and install . Also cant go further when saw 3 dots. I delete all files created in aio tool. Copied update signed to sdcard but please place it on new folder cause it may confilct with files which aio tool creates by decryption process. And w8 . I am sure that it will work.
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
My tablet is working fine. Rooted using auto script on more that one occasion..... Has nothing to do with my drivers! Adb shell in recovery == DEAD. If recovery has change and shell can not run then how on earth can we preroot to keep root with updates in the future??? Because you know they WILL patch this eventually.

---------- Post added at 10:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 PM ----------

You mean decrypting R5 update??? Not decrypting a different update after installing R5? Could you please please try, so I know it is not me :)

I am 90% certain it has changed and will not work anymore [To be confirmed though]

[Sony Tablet S] biablo:
Now I understand what you mean . I am afraid that you have right. Now in release 5 we have rev.36 ver of android recovery and also info sth like that BL: 0000008, master . When I am in recovery adb shell dont recognizes tablet. Seems that its blocked . PC shows device in manager but adb dont work. As a result aio tool cant now make custom decrypted. Wonder how to revert the recovery to previous and where it is ? Is it in recovery.img file?
