I can confirm a solution to this problem, as I also had it. For some reason, on certain file systems, adb fails to run from a folder deep in C:. I was able to replicate this error by manually running adb from the Downloads folder and then from the C:/adb root. Guess what, adb worked perfectly (and so did the tool) when put inside a folder in the root of C:

Try copying the .zip files to a folder on the root of C:. In my case, I created C:/adb and put the files from Condi's .zip there. You then simply run cmd (preferably as admin) and type cd adb and then run the tool manually (by typing "S.onyTablet.S").

I ll try it thanks men !

To unroot tablet i have to do a factory reset our what i should do?
[Sony Tablet S] zerod78:
to unroot and still keep your contents intact would be to run Condi's bat with option 2 or factory reset(wipe of all data on tablet less sdcard) works.

hmm... so i believe the question would be IF i install a signed custom_update.zip, would the factory reset be deploying our signed custom_update.zip?
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
Hmm... factory reset should not kill root of custom zip... but im not 100% sure.

Will test it today later after work :)

-----------edit:

Root remains after wipe factory reset :-)

[Sony Tablet S] 2hry:
Hello condi

Thanks for your work(made a donation today)

Could you add this region:

Austria (there is a different one for Austria in Region changer)

ro.sony.sku.version=27550157_14

Do you need the region.zip?

gknoll
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
Dont know, but its worth a try :)

If you will still have the problem, write again, we will try to figure it out.

Nope it cant be rooted. Dont know when ;) No solution for now.

Thank you very much :)

About region - it should make no difference for you,

but if you want to have exact that version,

then copy your region.zip - name it as 27550159_7.zip

and replace in /files/regions directory :)

Has anyone successfully manage to flash a non-US ICS over the top of a US ICS firmware yet?

I flashed the US one ages ago and now that the UK ICS is out I want to switch back to my original firmware region...

I downloaded the signed-nbx03_003-ota-120410008.zip file and used that...

AiO 3.3 gets all the way to the point of decrypting and adding root, then it fails (red screen) says that it didn't create the file correctly - got loads of errors flashing up on screen before it got to that saying that folder and files didn't exist or could not be found..

Has anyone managed to do this yet? or am I doing something wrong? is there an additional step I need to take before flashing UK ICS over US ICS?

Cheers!

[Sony Tablet S] JoniDS:
Recovery mode reboot

Hi,

I'm having a weird problem.

I did the install rescue backdoor.

After i downloaded the signed-nbx03_011-ota-120410025.zip and went to "Create decrypted update.zip".

I started the recovery mode and applied the _hack_recovery, it installed ok and after it gave the expected assertion failed error.

The problem is before i have the chance to choose and apply the "signed-nbx.." file the AIO tool says DONE and restarts the tablet.

Do you know what can be the cause of it?

Thanks in advance

Error while trying to apply root to decrypted german update.
[Sony Tablet S] im_iceman:
Exactly the same problem I'm having.. Presume you are also trying to move from USA ICS to another regions ICS? German I guess? Think until condi can figure this out the only option is to flash a honeycomb firmware then update to your ICS.. Problem I've got is that I can't find a honeycomb firmware to flash..
[Sony Tablet S] slinder154:
No, i'm on HC!

Moreover i noticed that in my build.prop, region is set to "us".

Region changer to Germany didn't change anything...
[Sony Tablet S] vlamers:
Hi,

i installed german ICS by downgrading to german Honeycomb. Rooted HC and set region back to "Deutschland". Started Auto OTA downloader on AIO Tool. Then decrypt, root and so on.

worked perfect for me.

Greetings from Bavaria ;)

Edit: dont forget the wipe after downgrading

Edit2: changed region directly in build.prob (de and DE)
[Sony Tablet S] vlamers:
Change the build.prob to the one in backup folder, I think it was the build id I changed to the one from original HC so you will get update notification to HC rel. 2. than decrypt root and so on. From this HC I get the update to ICS.

[Sony Tablet S] condi:
use adb shell, and type:

grep

If there is an error, then you have not installed busybox - post result and I will attach small one-click-fix.

You have prerooted ICS with one of first versions of AiO just after first ICS was released?

Yesterday I've flashed directly my US-ICS device with prerooted polish 3G ICS firmware without any problems :)

'us' value in build.prop is not important. Its not region related thing.

'update.service' and 'sku.base', and region.zip with sku = thats region.

Yep, I also think that you had no busybox correctly installed (it was not included in first AiO-ICS versions).

Im glad you have DE-rooted-ICS :)

PS. 100 pages!! :D
[Sony Tablet S] slinder154:
Yep, seems like busybox is missing. Should I just download it on my tablet or do i need in in my AIO-folder?
[Sony Tablet S] raffounz:
Hi, I try to post even here now that I can...

Yesterday I tryed to update my Tablet S with all-in-one tool to ICS Italian ROM (I have an Italian Tablet S).

I'm stuck on adding root to decrypted rom: I have the attached message... I don't know what to do, i tryed to copy su file from xbin to bin folder: this made the process go further, but the mount problem still persists and in the end zip creation failed... Someone can help me? I'm on rooted HC 3.2

Many thanks!!!

Well...

I don't know why but once i didn't had the Portuguese versions of 16 GB Wifi +3G, i changed the region to spain and then followed all the AIO's process with the right file.

All went smooth but after reboot althought i have a connection to the network i can't connect to internet. Neither throught WiFi nor 3G.

I reinstalled again and the result is the same.

I managed to get build.prop and why would appreciate very much if some dev could find any problem in it

Brick

I got a german STS from a friend. He did a custom uppdate with the german ICS firmware (acording to BluechipJ's video) without any problems. The tablet was running ICS and had a root. Then he did the "anti-bootloop protection" again, using the AIO Tool.

Since that the tablet does not boot anymore. After the Sony logo I only have a black screen with backlight on

I tried to do the brick tutorial (FAQ 8. on the first page) , but the file is offline. Anyway, I thing I have to use the german file. full_nbx03_007_v0042.017.zip or signed-nbx03_007-ota-0042.001.zip, but I can not find them.

Can anyone help me please?

Thanks

[Sony Tablet S] diddy64:
Using condi's v3.3 the crossover from 3.2 to 4.03 went very smooth. I use my tablet for emails and games. I've used

"[ICS-OK] Install "USB Mass Storage" support. - yes! for external sd, and also internal one!

Can be easly turned on with two shortcuts on home screen "

but im still having a problem with installing game data onto the external sd. I used the script editor on 3.2 to direct data from internal memory to external memory. Now I may be doing something wrong but when i click the icon on the home screen for external memory nothing really happens.

Should I go back with the script program to direct data from internal to external?

Thanks in advance.

Bloody hell, I'm away for a couple of weeks.. and all Hell gets loose :p

Ok, im a bit lost in here.. i still have my tab rooted in HC 3.2.1..

what a hell do i have to do to have ICS with the portuguese FW and not loose root..

Probably, someone said it before (sorry if that's the case), but the conversations are a bit to technical for me..

Downloaded the FW from the section "ICS updates zip added"..

Now what should i follow? the tutorial video but with this FW ?

Sorry guys for being a noob.. but from what im reading in the forum, a lot of ppl has this questions too..

How do you replace the ics build.prop with a HC build.prop? Did you use adb?

I've been trying to find a reason to the fact that in my ics i'm not able to conect to internet, dispite of having network access (wifi) and 3g.

I can see SD card but i cant copy from nor to it.

Can this have something to do with permissions.xml?

After custom uppdate with the german ICS firmware (acording to BluechipJ's video) it worked without any problems. The tablet was running ICS and had a root. After applying the "anti-bootloop protection" again, using the AIO Tool it got bricked.

Here are the log files.

v3.4 - test and report :)

I will think about it :) PM me with full procedure of adding, step by step, and I can make it automatic :)

v3.4 - should now all work with P, test and report :)

ro.build.version.incremental=120427046 - from your recovery log, so it looks like you have flashed stock - not rooted flash?

rescue-backdoor is already included in custom zip, why have you used it with ICS again?

you tried adb shell command after using signed-nbx03??

1) flash _hack_recovery.zip, 2) use adb shell... command which Ive given to you earlier, 3) flash signed-nbx....

v3.4 - try it and post results

I have a Sony Tablet S 16 Gb Wi-Fi+3G model: SGPT113PT/S (portuguese version)

Do u think a factory reset would work?

You've got now correct (my :P) file ;)

Try wipe. Oh and its not related with permissions file - just fcked my - made it empty, and still got wifi working.

I was looking and i found Build.prop and region.prop from HC 3.2.1r2 (just before upgrade). Just don't know what to do with them

Where, inside the tab, is placed the actual region.prop, so that i can pull it with adb. Probably if i can change region inside and push it back again, i could be able to install Portuguese ICS 4.0.3

Thanks Guys,

But in the mean time i tried another thing, thats was ... factory reset... in recovery mode.

I don't exactly why but after reboot i chose spanish region instead of portuguese, and it worked!!!

I supose that has something to do with yhe instalation of perm-inst.bat that Condi shared a few posts back, but that file probably needed a full wipe to be effective.

I still have a small problem on the start... usually it hangs in SONY screen, i have to reboot and only on second boot it starts.
