Updating archive __decrypted\custom_update.zip

Everything is Ok

Is that right? Or did something go wrong on this step? Thanks.
[Sony Tablet S] Meelouw:
I had same problem, don't root with option 1 of custom submenu but with option 2
[Sony Tablet S] anurbanlegend:
Hi, option 2 is the one I did also and it gave same error. When you did it, it went through with no errors?
[Sony Tablet S] Meelouw:
Yes ... i have says no when i ask me for root with option 1 and choose directly option 2
[Sony Tablet S] djlars:
I'll upload my rooted and signed update.zip when I'm back at home :)
[Sony Tablet S] kakit526:
I have follow the instruction on first page.

I only get 153MB custom update.zip , is that normal?

Final step, flash the custom update signed.zip, I got

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

Installation Aborted."

PS: I already change the region to US.
[Sony Tablet S] puredreamz:
Just to check, How long should applying the rescue backdoor take? Its been well over 5 minutes and its hanging on the second line of modifying build.prop
[Sony Tablet S] gimmetaffy:
This did it for me. Step 3, copying decrypted file from SD to AIO _decrypted folder.

Thanks!
[Sony Tablet S] ase3000:
@kakit526 I tried condi's method and meelouw without any luck. I keep getting 152 MB custom update and the base sku error. :(

I have "ro.sony.sku.base=nbx03_035" and I think this is the main cause of the problem.
[Sony Tablet S] rimsilva:
No it's not, as Condi reply to me the file must have ~233MB, to have that you need to have a decrypted file with the same size and you must copy manually from SDcard2 to "_decrypted" folder in your PC.

See the step 3 of procedure by TheHurf
[Sony Tablet S] Rumball:
No the custom update signed zip should not be only 152 MB...it should be roughly the same size as the original zip file (about 230-250 MB...cann't remember exact number). If it isn't this big then something messed up in the process and don't try and flash the zip file.

I found it helpful to monitor what AiO was doing. For example when it said it was decrypting the update I opened up the S.ony Tablet.S [ALLinONE] v2.7/_decrypted folder on my PC to see the file growing in file size until it got to the expected file size and stopped. Same thing when the tool is supposed to be signing the zip file I monitored the _signed directory to watch the process to see that ended up at the right file size.
[Sony Tablet S] kakit526:
Okay now, i got an 235MB signed zip. trying to flash it.

EDIT: It flashing, thank you all of you
[Sony Tablet S] macmeier:
Since the zip-files created in this long process are all of equal size, are there any differences from user to user ?

I mean, does it make sense, when people upload their signed custom update zip ?
[Sony Tablet S] rimsilva:
No success once again.

Stop at point 3 I can't get the file signed! The message is that the file was signed but the custom_update_signed.zip don't appear.

I don't know if it's a Java problem or not, but the AIO tool mention version 1.3.1 but in control panel my java version is 1.7.0_03-b05!!!

If someone upload this custom_update_signed.zip file can I finish the process? Or is this dangerous?

Thanks
[Sony Tablet S] anurbanlegend:
Figured out my problem, I had busybox 1.19.4 installed. I installed busybox 1.19.3 and now it is working. Will be flashing it in a few minutes!
[Sony Tablet S] rimsilva:
What Java version was your AiO tool showing?
[Sony Tablet S] quiqsilver:
You can have multiple versions of java installed side by side. You need to uninstall the old version.
[Sony Tablet S] MSmith1:
if you've had success with this, wouldn't it be easier just to upload the signed/rooted firmware instead of having people go through all of this? Am I missing something? That's how it has been done with all of my other rooted/custom rom android devices. I'm bricked and I'm hoping that would help me out.

[Sony Tablet S] madchicosmina:
after a few unsuccessful attempts, i managed to get ICS on a Portuguese Tablet S.

If someone needs i cam always try to upload my custom.update.zip.

I followed TheHurf's guide (#401) and all went smooth.

I did get scared when after it installed and rebooted for the first time it bootlooped... I removed the usb from the pc and it continued the restart. uffff

Let´s see when 3G's firrmware is released if whe can get it right!!!
[Sony Tablet S] macmeier:
Yes, please upload it. Could be helpful.
[Sony Tablet S] MSmith1:
I'm personally looking for a US version but I'm sure that would help some people. I'd make sure to label it as a Portuguese firmware when you upload it.
[Sony Tablet S] madchicosmina:
i have a doubt.

I just tried to acces to SuperSu and it says that i have no SU binary installed. Also, when i try to run titanium it gives an error "... not possible to obtain root 'privelege..."

Can i go into AiO 2.1 and run "1 - root..."?

Edit 1: i really lost root .

I went through AiO and hit option 1, and it says that my device is not routable :-(
[Sony Tablet S] animaleyes76:
Condi you f*****g legend.

This ICS method fixed my inability to do any update ( a few pages back) and got me ICS on my UK s tablet too.

Man it's smoooooooooooooth :)

Massive thanks to you!

I'll be donating to you later for all your work :)
[Sony Tablet S] madchicosmina:
I have never uploaded a file... :confused:

Where can i upload it?
[Sony Tablet S] JustArchiee:
Every time i try anything i get red cmd window. Do we have to be rooted to do this? i have ADB installed what else do we need? AND YES - IM A NOOB :D
[Sony Tablet S] macmeier:
Yes, you need root.
[Sony Tablet S] JustArchiee:
And what else? Just root? Every time i try i just get red screen and couldnt find the right path!
[Sony Tablet S] macmeier:
You got Dropbox? You can share a file with creating a link. But I don't know if there are restrictions.
[Sony Tablet S] DaDDy ICEPOC:
ok going to have to ask the noob question.

i see it says that damn bleeding kernel #10 i have is still unrootable. But....

my understanding (which is probably wrong) is that a firmware update would change the kernel? so am i missing something? or is it i cant change locale without root?
[Sony Tablet S] xpri:
will the ics update be flashable on a rooted non-us region of the tablet?
[Sony Tablet S] Rumball:
I don't think this will work (condi correct me if I'm wrong). I believe that during this whole process the tool modifies the zip file to change its region code from US to match the region code our your partcular device so that it will be accepted. So, for example, if I were to upload my signed custom update zip I believe that it would only work for people with my region code (Canada).

...I may be completely wrong.

---------- Post added at 02:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:58 PM ----------

Are you asking whether condi's AiO tool will make the ICS update flashable on a rooted non-us region? If so then the answer is yes. I'm from Canada and using condi's tool I was able to flash ICS update.
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
Unpack all the directory from 7zip file and put it in root of disc C.

Then run .bat

Kernel version is not important any more. The exploit depends on write permissions to /log dir. Thats it. In ICS of course its also locked, and I have kernel #9, other users even lower. So version is not determinant any more.

Yes. You can change region to US, make custom prerooted, and flash it.

I've got european (polish region) tab, and got US ICS on it.
[Sony Tablet S] Meelouw:
for me, it's true !
[Sony Tablet S] animaleyes76:
Now :) I just flashed it on a UK region tablet :)
[Sony Tablet S] MSmith1:
condi - if i am bricked with access only to the stock recovery will flashing a signed/rooted zip help me get out of the brick?
[Sony Tablet S] animaleyes76:
Hey Condi,

just donated, thanks again

Have a few beers on me ;)

[Sony Tablet S] kryddan:
I just tried this wonder-tool for the first time since I got root with it :)

I got a US machine and live in Sweden. Got the update message yesterday, so I downloaded it and then copied it to external sd-card.

Got crazy with the AiO tool and first I got the "red light" since I didn't had the backdoor :) oh well, did that. Then when I was going to run the signed (update.zip) i couldn't find it (I knew I had copied it to external sd-card). I managed to copy it to a directory on the sd-card. Didn't work. So I moved it to root-dir, then it worked like a charm :)

So now I'm on 4.0.3 ICS. Only thing I've noticed so far is that "Android weather" doesn't seem to be working. Oh, what the h*ll. I'm on ICS :)

a million thanx Condi. The thank you button isn't big enough to express what your work means to me (us).

THANK YOU!
[Sony Tablet S] madchicosmina:
Probably i'm being noob, but wasn't suposed to have root and SU if i followed condi's tutorial?
[Sony Tablet S] kryddan:
If you had root to begin with, yes :)

If you didn't had root on your 3.2.1 (HC) then you won't have it on your ICS. Atleast not for now.

I had root with 3.2.1 (HC), and I have root with 4.0.3 (ICS).
[Sony Tablet S] MSmith1:
Can you upload the rooted US firmware?
[Sony Tablet S] TheHurf:
Hi Guys,

Thought I'd post again, try to make a tidier post and also bring information to people who might not have waded through the 400 posts to get to my little walkthrough. So:

1- Download US ICS FIRMWARE from post #1 on this thread.

2- Copy it to external SD,

2- Download, install and run v2.7 AiO (also in post #1)- goto 'Custom Rom' submenu, choose '1 - Decrypt Update' function, but

!STOP!

when it asks if you want to root etc. Stop, tell it no to root. You'll be taken back to the custom ROM screen. Then...

3-

Copy the decrypted zip from the SD card to the _decrypted folder in the All in One folders

. Either by pulling the card or whatever. This is important as I believe the existing version of AiO doesn't actually do this, even though it says its done it - I did this once I realised the export to PC wasn't working and the update fired straight through.

4- Once this is done, put the card back in and run '2 - add root etc' in the AiO custom ROM menu. Let this run, tell it yes to signing.

5- Once this has all finished, copy the custom_update_signed.zip from pc directory - '_signed' to external SD. At this point, I cleaned the SD card of all other files bar the hack recovery and the custom zip, so the best way would be to pull the card or mess about with file transfer etc.

6- Run '4 - Disable recovery signature..' function from AiO, follow the AiO tool instructions,

7- After running '_hack_recovery', which will fail (it's supposed to) choose 'custom_signed_update.zip'

8- Hold your breath or make a cup of tea, whichever suits, you should have ICS in a couple minutes!

I've been looking around for a decent upload site that will allow files larger than 200MB, but have been coming up short. About 40MB short, to be honest(!), so I'm uploading my custom zip file to Dropbox with a view to hosting it over the weekend for those of you who are really stuck.
[Sony Tablet S] madchicosmina:
I had root on 3.2.1 and now ... i don't! :mad:
[Sony Tablet S] kryddan:
I could try. what place do you recommend to do that? megaupload, rapidshare or ?
[Sony Tablet S] sebarkh:
OK, lets move to ICS then!!!
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
Im gonna try to help you later :) For now - try again to flash the firmware,

of course it will fail, then wait 2min, and 'adb pull /tmp' - give me your recovery.log.

You can be sure that I will drink for your health!! :)

Czech beer one of the best :) Thanks very much, appreciate that!

I'm glad you like it :)
[Sony Tablet S] MSmith1:
I guess whichever works for you. Dropbox may work as well if you have it.

Thanks in advance!
[Sony Tablet S] rfreeman:
Condi, please help me I can only get153mb I put the file decrypted in pc as you said but nothing only 153mb.
[Sony Tablet S] TheHurf:
You should do - have you installed Busybox?
[Sony Tablet S] kryddan:
I'm trying megashare, but it is a bit slow. let you know when it's done. do you need the hack_recovery as well ?
[Sony Tablet S] mmisep:
Is the tablet supposed to display in ADB, because when I boot into recovery and try to flash somethignfrom SD the device is not listed in ADB and after the flash attemp it just shuts down I guess.
[Sony Tablet S] MSmith1:
Hmmmm. Sure, why not. I'm not sure how I would work with both of them but the more options the better! Thank you so much!
[Sony Tablet S] DaDDy ICEPOC:
ok so even though i have kernel #10 i can install this ICS and root that way?
[Sony Tablet S] kryddan:
Not that good with dropbox, but try this :)

and this

[URL=FILE DELETED[/URL]

They are from a US sgpt111/US machine residing in Sweden.

Downloaded the signed file myself on my machine when I got the notification yesterday.

Hope it helps. If DropBox won't work. I'll have it up on megashare in a few minutes.

Lost Root in ICS ...

Hi, first Thank you Condi for ICS update !!! Your Guide works perfect !

I have a strange problem .... followed your guide step after step with no problem (step 6 with root too)... flashed new ICS Firmware on my Tablet S (Switzerland Wifi 16GB) all well. :)

If i try to access to System/app .... did not find all apk ... hmm ... test Root and i did not have full Root access !?:confused:

Connected Tablet S to AIO2.7 ... try to Root (Point 1) but now AIO say to me that my Kernel isn't Rootable (Build 9).

What can I do ?

My tablet works now with ICS very fast and good but without Root ...

Who can help me ?

Regards
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
adb shell
/system/bin/tempsu

do you have it, and root after run in shell?
[Sony Tablet S] MSmith1:
Thank you so much for this. It didn't work because of a signature verification error but I appreciate it! Hopefully condi can help us who are bricked somehow.
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
i'm waiting for your recovery.log
[Sony Tablet S] MSmith1:
How can I get that? Please advise. I'd love to help. I can't adb into my device. I only have access to the stock recovery and that is it. The device will only turn on to the Sony logo and then turn off.
[Sony Tablet S] tbzdat00:
Yes I have it, what do you mean with root after runin shell ?
[Sony Tablet S] traumakom:
Condi is secure to use the 2 file from kryddan? (custom_updare_signed.zip and _hack_recovery.zip) on my Tablet??? (i've changed region with your tool...)
[Sony Tablet S] sebarkh:
I lost root after ICS update :(

soooo sad :(

and I had it before... Condi, what's wrong could have happened....?

You know I had rooted Honeycomb. Now I updated Polish version tablet and...this: no root....

And the funny thing is: when rebooting, after the shell is loaded: superuser is autostarting and it's screen is blinking a couple of times...

EDIT2: No way to connect ADB, it just doesn't work, although debugging is on.
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
Put this .bat in AiO tool directory, run once.

Most probably you had su not in /system/bin path before making custom rom.

This will be fixed in next ver.

-----edit: working one in few post later

Kryddan,

I used your custom_update_signed.zip file and all is good, I am running ICS 4.03 rooted on my Sony S.

And of course many thanks to condi :)
[Sony Tablet S] kryddan:

[Sony Tablet S] tbzdat00:
Thank you a lot !!! It works now :)

Make a donation :)
[Sony Tablet S] traumakom:
yes i flash first the hacked recovery!!! and then the update!!! ^_^
[Sony Tablet S] macmeier:
Yes, you got to flash the hacked recovery first, which forces the device to accept the update.zip. Correct me, if I'm wrong guys.

Sadly, I'm on work right now and can't try the uploaded update file. I'm excited to see, if this way works for more people.
[Sony Tablet S] MSmith1:
AHHH, that doesn't work for me either. Getting the prohibit update error message. I can't believe that I bricked like this.
[Sony Tablet S] traumakom:
Man you change the Region of your tablet??? (if not is an US tablet)
[Sony Tablet S] MSmith1:
It is a US tablet and no I never messed with the region. Though I think there is something wrong with it.
[Sony Tablet S] soccerdad:
Why are people getting bricked when they use the Install "rescue backdoor" tweak? I'm in US but I'm confused by why people are bricking their tabs or am I reading something wrong. I'm trying to update to ICS but I'm getting this red screen. Would it be safe to just use the hack recovery and custom_update_signed.zip that has been posted. I'm lost and confused and a little scared.
[Sony Tablet S] kryddan:
I had the same error at first. I installed the rescue-backdoor on my US sgt111 with success, and then I followed the walk through in post #401 in this thread. And now I have ICS working with root.

I had ONLY root'd my device, nothing else. When I tried to run the ICS update I got this error.

I'm having the same Java sign problem as most users, it isn't a Java version problem because I have the last one. Condi, could you take a look at this? I don't know if it can be a script error (probably not).

Here is the driver I received from Condi. It's working perfect now :)

[Sony Tablet S] quiqsilver:
Try this and see if it will remove the versions that are missing from appwiz.cpl: http://singularlabs.com/software/javara/

If that doesn't remove it:

1. Start > Run (Win+R)

2. sysdm.cpl

3. Advanced tab > Environment Variables button > double click "Path" in the second box (System Variables)

4. Search for Java or JRE entries that do not indicate JRE7 (i.e. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre3\bin;") and remove them
[Sony Tablet S] esteras:
I tried at least 20 times, and very, very carefully. All the time the same error, "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError" when I try to sign the update... I used Java for other programs without problems (included Eclipse for programing).
[Sony Tablet S] im_iceman:
A question for those who know.. is there a reason why I couldn't just flash the signed custom_update.zip if someone else had created it?

and to you Mr Hurford... nice little guide.. worked first time for me with no problems and I didn't even have to faff about copying the decrypted folder to my PC.. that bit worked fine!..

I'm all covered in Icecream.. and it tastes good!
