Finally I've my tablet updated to ICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

Big thanks kryddan and Condi off course!

Did you Failed verification with Hack_recovery? I had that in first place, Please do (or re-do) the step 5 of the AiO tool "Region changer" to change to US - don't forget to select your 16GB or 32GB version

P.S. After install ICS I have a message telling that I've an update, the update is 233MB size, so I believe that is the instalation that we have done, should we ignore?
[Sony Tablet S] im_iceman:
Thanks Condi - It's all good.. no problems here at all.. worked first time.. still rooted.. everything is good.. great start to my weekend!
[Sony Tablet S] MSmith1:
The problem is the people that are bricked, can't use condi's tool anymore to change the region.
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
Guys - its "rescue-backdoor"!!! DON'T UPDATE AGAIN! You will loose root!

Its lowered incremental value in order to be safe - to be able to use

'_hack_recovery.zip', reflash on brick etc. Ignore it :)

[Sony Tablet S] rfreeman:
I did all the process I was root, but I loose the root, I try the fix and root again with AIO tool without success, I have now 4.03 kernel 2.6.39.4 build9#1 TISU0017700.

Thank you
[Sony Tablet S] madchicosmina:
Hi Condi,

I Apllied this fix and then tried to root in AiO but it still says that the tablet can't be rooted.

Two other questions:

I think i need to do a kind of factory reset, because my tab has kind of glitches here and then, so i thought that doing a "wipe" or clean install it could be good.

If i go to Recovery, option 3 is "Reset to factory settings", this will do just a clean ics install or goes back to HC 3.2.1?

Br

---------- Post added at 01:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 AM ----------

For those, like me that don't have root after update to ICS try a Factory Reset (Worked for me)

in the tab

Settings -> Backup & Reset -> Factory Reset

Of course you will lose everything unless you use Astro( or other that doesn't need root) and do a apk backup. After the reset you can allways restore.
[Sony Tablet S] staynam:
thanks..

but I made a silly mistake - unplugged the cable during the process and as a result the OTA zip is installed without blockage. FF,

have to wait for devs to work out the new root method.
[Sony Tablet S] rfreeman:
Do you recover root with the factory reset?
[Sony Tablet S] whiterider13:
Were you able to get root back?

[Sony Tablet S] wer55:
:):) Hi Condi...thanks a lot, I'min ICS now :)

excellent job...
[Sony Tablet S] MSmith1:
Is there a way to create a Universal firmware using the tool? That may help us bricked users get passed the "E:Prohibit update as a result of checking version or base sku" error. Every firmware that I try to flash, even the stock unrooted firmware, gives me the same error. I really would like to recover this tablet. Next stop is an iPad....
[Sony Tablet S] macmeier:
I will wait until the official update is ota in europe. I don't want to risk a brick. There seem to be some serious problems with the whole process.
[Sony Tablet S] walterc:
I followed the whole instruction for ICS update, but I receive "E:Prohibit update as a result of checking version or base sku" error when flash custom_update_signed.zip.....what can I do?
[Sony Tablet S] Bushmaster78FS:
I lost root as well and didn't get it back with Factory Reset. Wish Cyanogen would get a hold of Tablet S now. :)
[Sony Tablet S] dmitry1972:
Hi guys! Big thanks to all and Condi of course! I'm on rooted ICS! I changed my region to US before update, then followed the instruction from TheHurf (God prolong his years!) and voila! ICS! But for a now I can't change US region back to RU, AiO tool is unable to do it, just hang after daemon start. But is there any reason to change the region back?
[Sony Tablet S] Bojanglez:
Successfully upgraded my non root UK 32GB wifi to rooted ICS. Thanks to the help from Condi, TheHurf and kryddan.

I will just clarify the steps I took in case anyone else is not clear of the best path.

1. Intall Condi's AiO tool

2. Root device (option 1)

3. Alter region to USA (option 5)

4. Download kryddan's zip file (_hack_recovery and custom_update) and place them on the root of your SD Card

5. In AiO select option 3 (custom ROM), then the sub option 4 (Disable recovery)

5.i First first select to flash _hack_recovery (let it try and fail)

5.ii Once it has failed return to the recovery boot menu and flash the custom_update

That should be it, you should have a nice slice of Ice Cream Sandwhich on your Tablet. Thanks to everyone in the thread for their help.
[Sony Tablet S] Nezmanpro:
After a long day, after the help of Condo that, with a lot of patience, has saved me from the abyss of brick I can finally say: welcome ICS.

The Condi's precedure works perfectly if you follow correctly the turorial step by step and if you star with US region id. All will go well if you make attention.

Absolutely DON'T CHANGE US REGION ID AFTER THE ICS INSTALLATION. The Condi's tool is not usable efficently on Ics Yet (only the flash process works correctly).

Thanks you very much @Condi: 5DT30689TB7802619 :)
[Sony Tablet S] obicom:
I guess it is the same with 'rescue&backdoor', it was created for 3.2.x and do not work correctly under ICS. In addition I tried to change one or two values in the build.prop and vendor.prop ... but the system update checker says all the time 'your firmware is the latest one'.

As Nezmanpro mentioned before ... the version 2.7 AIO is currently only for ICS update process adapted, not for region chnager and recue&backdoor ... so be carefull currently with deeper system changes.

I hope will will get all this important functions back in one of the next versions of Condis awesome AIO tool.
[Sony Tablet S] B-Hard:
Hy, here are my logfiles. I'm bricked also.

Maybe it helps us bricked idiots out ;)
[Sony Tablet S] Sentinel196:
you can just change your region to US, then the OTA push to your device.

I did this on my australian device and I'm on the official US OTA ICS now :)

You'll loose root permanently (until an exploit is found), but otherwise all good :)
[Sony Tablet S] esteras:
Hi team,

I'm very silly, was my mistake, sorry, sorry and sorry. I repair old java installations with MicrosoftFixit.ProgramInstallUninstall and after that, everything is ok. For the people that has the same problem with sign, you have to download the java installation from Internet Explorer, not Chrome :confused:

Write images to system0... ... ...
[Sony Tablet S] bandrea15:
MSmith1 I have your same problem with an Italian device!

I can only acces to recovery and I always got E:proebith or sign error when I try every mothod!

PLS help us!!
[Sony Tablet S] B-Hard:
Oh man if i had known that before i bricked my device ....:(

I dont ned root so this would be MUCH easier and not so risky ;)

Anyways i think condi will find an solution for this, if not my tablet goes back to sony and i make me stupid...
[Sony Tablet S] macmeier:
Sorry guys, I'm just out of bed, because I worked the nightshift, so I'm feeling a bit dump...

That means, I just change the region and let the device do the installation on its own ota ? That would be great, because I don't need root on my tablet.

Is there any practical difference in the daily usage between a us and a german device ? I mean language settings, etc. are implemented in the us-version, too, aren't they ?
[Sony Tablet S] traumakom:
I'm Italian and Condi's tool works fine for me!!! i have my Tablet reverted on US Tablet but language is ITALIAN on all thing, interface, option, programs(where aviable) ^_^
[Sony Tablet S] SudaDreamS:
YES, this is exactly what I did, ICS is working greatly with no risks, but I prefer to root it, i'll wait till root for ICS is there
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
Try this fw, post the results, whats the info from recovery log.
[Sony Tablet S] sebarkh:
Thanks, because this was exactly what I intended to play with... :)
[Sony Tablet S] robinwilson16:
Wish I'd seen this sooner!

I installed ICS and then used the AIO tool to change the region back to UK and now the device doesn't boot and I can only get to recovery.

How can I fix this (preferably keeping root)?

Thanks

Robin
[Sony Tablet S] DreadPirateDan:
pretty sure you may have bricked it by changing the version once on ICS. Condi specifically said not to :confused:

edit: lol better still just check the post before yours.. guess some people just can't be helped
[Sony Tablet S] maxiclo:
+1
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
Im 99% sure that your tab gonna work :)
[Sony Tablet S] maxiclo:
It is not clear reading the thread if ICS has been ROOTED.

It seams some retest are needed for all the features of ALLinOne.
[Sony Tablet S] Rumball:
Yes, ICS is rooted if you follow the instructions. All my apps requiring root work just fine.Also, I had Canadian region/sku before thge upgrade and still have Canadian region/sku afterwards. No need for me to change to US.
[Sony Tablet S] maxiclo:
I will wait until the official update is ota in europe (I have a 3G version) and then I'll try to root.
[Sony Tablet S] bandrea15:
Done but The same problem:

...........

Verifying update package...

E:Prohibit update as a result of cecking version or base sku

Installation aborted
[Sony Tablet S] Johny1fin:
Thanks Condi. Just donated $10. Get yuor wife a drink.

Had some problems but following suggestions on this forum now have rooted 4.0.3 2.6.39.4 integ-build@build9#1. TisU0017700. Live in UK.

Followed your script and failed as some others. Did-

install java 64 bit which resoved java errors. initally got 128Mb file so copied decripted file back to PC and run again wgich gave me 240Mb file.

Rooting works fine, Titanium backup has worked on all apps.

I have had problems for weeks with Tablet rebooting lots of times after starting up and hoped the ICS would fix it. But no it did not. Deleting apps to try and find the cause. But thats a wholly different fault. Works ok if I leave it alone for half an hour. Weird.

Anyway, thanks Condi for all your help and we have all waited months for ICS. Hope for some new roms now.

flashing it at this very moment thanks a million condi, nice tut for ics very nice tool
[Sony Tablet S] boots77:
nhl gamecentre app running poorly with ics

First, id like to say thanks condi for the update. I had done no modifications to my tab prior to this and your tool made the process a breeze.

My issue is now with my NHL gamecentre app version Verizon Tablet 2.0215. This is a confirmed version which is ics compatible. I was also using it on the tab with hc 3.2.

What is happening is that when you are streaming any video on the app there is a ton of video lag. The audio is fine.

I have tried clearing data and reinstalling without any luck.

Any thoughts?
[Sony Tablet S] yohandesilva1:
Condi I have a 3g tab if you remember. So if I update now without 3g and loose ADB functionality will I be able to flash again when 3g version is available :)
[Sony Tablet S] Bushmaster78FS:
What do you guys suggest for those of us who did the update before checking the instructions here? Just wait until AiO is ICS compatible? I lost my root, wish seen the instructions earlier.
[Sony Tablet S] blambo:
I know that this has been covered, but I just wanted to reiterate so updaters don't thrash around like I did trying to get this thing done:

Before you even think about updating to ICS:

For all Windows machines, but especially for the Windows 7 X64 based, make absolutely sure that you have the latest "JAVA UPDATES"

If you use the AIO to reset your system location to the USA, have the right java drivers installed, and follow condi's instructions one by one... the entire update w/root is a total breeze. Seriously, easy as pie.

FYI: After the update, you can turn off the residual Sony update messages by using the AIO again. Go to "Tweaks and Mods, then #3, that will toggle the pesky update messages to "OFF".

Thank you condi for your tremendous work!
[Sony Tablet S] rainbow2112:
Idem :( :( Someone help has PLEASE
[Sony Tablet S] Johny1fin:
I am wondering if those like me who have a rooted ics file can upload that for those with recovery access that they can then flash?

Mine is a uk file which would mean those on UK version could use without having to change to another location. Just a thought though I do not have access to any upload sites myself, but would be happy to upload if given access to one.
[Sony Tablet S] sebarkh:
I beg you guys, read. I also lost root, but recovered...

---------- Post added at 06:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 PM ----------

Update your drivers to ics compatibile

Again,, If you have read last few pages you wouldn't have had this problem!!!!

TO all of YOU:

DO NOT CHANGE REGION AFTER ICS UPDATE

...if you dont like 9,4 inch bricks!
[Sony Tablet S] obicom:
@bambo

Do you get this update message? I would be happy I get it, but my tablet say I have the newest version (no backdoor and I am a liitle bit afraid about this)

What did you do to get this message? Did you change some values in build.prop or vendor.prop?
[Sony Tablet S] sebarkh:
Condi told me the build.incremental was moved to /datapp/vendor/vendor1/vendor.prop

but he also said it should be already decreased by the script so strange not everybody gets the update notification...

EDIT: I decreased the value by 1 in the vendor.prop. but I still don't get any update notification...
[Sony Tablet S] robinwilson16:
Is there any hope...

Thanks for the replies

I don't think the massive red text saying to not change the region after flashing was there on the first page this morning and I read the last 2 pages of the topic last thing the night before and it didn't say anything about not changing the region.

Then after it didn't work I checked the topic again and saw the massive warning saying not to change the region post-update.

Hoping there is some solution to this. Does anyone know if the tablet will be UK or USA region now?

Assuming the backdoor has lowered the version number then I should be able to flash to a stock ICS rom but every rom I try fails. Is this because there is not yet a rom for Europe and the region did in fact change to UK whilst also corrupting the installed firmware?

Thanks

Robin

I cant get the update to root. below attachment you can see the screenshot. please tell me wot im doing wrong :confused:

just use the same app? allinone?

[Sony Tablet S] sfctac:
Make sure to update your USB drivers before you do anything

US version.

Created custom_update_signed.zip had trouble getting _hack_recovery.zip to work correctly. Once updated USB drivers it worked and I applied the custom update, but now I don't have root and I don't see tempsu or busybox files anywhere on the system.

Is it possible to rollback? Can custom recovery help me here? Can I install signed 3.x rom?

At least I have a working ICS tablet.
[Sony Tablet S] OCedHrt:
That's what happened to me. I might've just flashed decrypted ROM instead of custom update. Unfortunately you're stuck without root.

[Sony Tablet S] sfctac:
My problem is that I did flash the custom_update that I created.
[Sony Tablet S] blambo:
I think I got that message because I had previously disabled the update messages via the AIO. Then, when I updated to ICS, the original update message from Sony, (that had been AIO blocked) was still resident as a hold-over from the previously installed Sony Honeycomb OS.

How's that sound? :D
[Sony Tablet S] obicom:
Curious, nobody else (as I know) got this message.

Could you be so kind to post your build.prop and vendor.prop?

Thank you very much :) We (me & wife) appreciate it :) Gonna get Her a (non-%) drink ;)

You will not loose ADB functionality. Its all ok with ICS and ADB. You should be able to flash with 3G version

when it comes out. I also got 3G version with non3G fw on it for now :)

'rescue-backdoor' should work just fine.

There are two separate things you should now.

1) 'rescue-backdoor' function to be able to flash current/older firmwares,

2) 'rescue-backdoor' additional values - to get system notification about ota and be able to download some.

First functionality should work just good - so we should be safe.

To check it - on device with custom prerooted ICS boot into recovery,

then try to use '_hack_recovery.zip' - it should work just fine, like before.

I dont remember in details, but I checked this 'vulnerability' just after I've flashed first custom ICS.

For second functionality - get notifications, ota - check build.prop for another values,

which of them decides about the incoming ota, I've changed all which are related to current version like:

ro.build.id=TISU0077

ro.build.display.id=TISU0077

ro.build.version.incremental (not ro.sony.build.incr..),

ro.build.version.release=4.0.3

Just try step by step, one by one lowering value, reboot,

and check if ota notification will appear.

Maybe only additional ro.build.version.incremental value

needs to be changed.

DONT USE region changer, because it has only S regions available.

If I would get /configs/region.zip and build.prop from US P tablet,

then I could add that region in next version.

But first I need the data.

Good :) Its a small bug for people who got 'su' binary in other path,

then /system/bin - for example users who used SuperSU.

Not a big thing. It will be fixed in next ver.

Thanks friend, I couldn't express it better :) !

Gonna try to make a small tutorial, for people who bricked with region changing after flash. I will provide proper links for particular regions, which should work, give again 3.2.1 and ability to root, and flash ICS. Of course not every brick is the same.

So as I said - its for some devices, for some other It could not work.

But its worth a try of course.

We've already fixed few bricked devices - regions Italy, UK.

br from sunny poland,

writing to you from my garden lol ;)
[Sony Tablet S] robinwilson16:
Thanks Condi

My problem is now fixed.

Thanks a lot to Condi for giving up his time to get my tablet de-bricked!

ICS is still rooted and working well and I won't change the region again!

The solution involved downgrading back to 3.2.1 using a specific rom and then repeating the process using the AIO tool. I think the specific rom varies depending on the region which is set and the model of the S.

Thanks again. :)

Robin
[Sony Tablet S] bandrea15:
where can I found the ROM you talk about?I have an Italian Device...
[Sony Tablet S] magick86:

I mistakenly upgraded to ICS before using your allinone tool. Do you know of a way to revert back to honeycomb or to root the ICS build? I think the answer is "no" for now but would still like to verify.

Thanks for any support you can provide :)
