Another error

custom rom flashing is based on recovery's shell.

its disabled in fw's R5+. So if you are below, then I could try to make it working with Xp tabs.

Where is your error? I see there normal procedure.
[Sony Tablet S] V@no:
Is there a way activate UMS and have adb access after reboot?

[EDIT]

I'm not having luck with this UMS thing. internal storage works fine, but sdcard even though mounts fine, but windows see it as ejected drive. Checked it on two computers. On tablet I can access files on sd card just fine too.

[EDIT2]

How does "3 * Custom ROM and Flashing [SUBMENU]." work?

I'm trying flash stock encrypted rom. So I chose #1 option, put tablet in recovery mode, it fails and returns to main menu, where I can reboot, install update or wipe.

Rebooting tablet at that point doesn't bring AIO from halt, it's stuck.

What I'm doing wrong?
[Sony Tablet S] rithsv:
For those having troubles with the exploited terminal not showing up, just keep trying. Go into recovery (power on and hold Volume+) and reset data, and just keep doing it after each failure.

Mine worked after about 10 tries.

[Sony Tablet S] condi:
It will not work 'straight'. I've got to make it compatible with Xperia Tab, already got idea how to do this :)

I need to get some free time, and gonna make it. In the meantime - DO NOT update your tab to newer fw!

It will block shell in recovery = no more hacking for now.

No drivers in recovery for adb or already blocked recovery (rev.36+). Check drivers booted in recovery in device manager.

I read somewhere that you had already flashed R5? If yes - then you are out of luck.

Try again, and try again, and.... try again.

Patience. Read this and this.
[Sony Tablet S] civilization:
finally i got done. I attached tablet with another laptop running with XP then i came back to windows 7 and it's done.

[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
Now this tool roots on ICS? :D

Is there any issues after attempting to root or when rooted?

So far here are the tips:

If terminal fails to show, keep on resetting via recovery and try again.

Reset if Play Store is gone.

[Sony Tablet S] Topery Chiang:
Hello, thanks for sharing this tool!

But I wonder that if this tool has a BUG for System update?

After rooted, I changed the region from China to Japan, and updated it from SD. But it stuck on the logo during the third rebooting, (10 mins later)I forced reboot, as you know, nothing changed! I tried it so many times, but the result is still.

There was a same result for my friend, his model was China also.

Now, I give you this feedback, and hope you can fix it, help me to solve it.

Thanks!!!
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
For the beginning - I want you to know that I will not help you.

You ask me if AiO has a "BUG for system update".

And you wrote that you made three reboots and its AiO fault,

that you have now stuck on 'sony logo' bootloop.

Without even a moment of time for some answer HERE you've made

another thread, where you are SURE that AiO has a 'bug of system update'.

But the best thing is that HERE

you accidentally admitted that you've fkced up your build.prop and got bootloop.

So the answer is NO - its not AiO bug that you've fcked up your build.prop,

and no, I will not spend time to help you.

---edit:

sorry my mistake - you've made TWO threads, not just ONE.
[Sony Tablet S] civilization:
unfortunately, root is gone after i did factory reset. Before i do reset i changed the region from SA to US and i got the updated to release 5. Now i will try agin to root the device.
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
most probably it switched to second /system partition where you have another fw without root ;)

just make root again ;)
[Sony Tablet S] V@no:
Wait a minute, are you saying that anyone with R5 firmware are totally f.ed now? Other words we can only do root/unroot and some of the tweaks? (would be nice have some note at first post and/or in the tool regarding this, to avoid confusion and waste of time)

In my experience it doesn't work this way, at least when you get 50% root, when each reboot switches from one system to another. AIO will fail when attempting root non-rooted partition. The best I could tell the way I got it fixed was full unroot, factory reset and then attempt root again. Took me only couple of days of attempting everything...
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
its already in FAQ since few days. you just havent noticed ;)
[Sony Tablet S] civilization:
how can i know if i have more than one partition?

Hello everyone!

Tested on a Spanish Tablet S with 3G and stock ICS. It wasn't working until I did factory reset before. Then everything worked fine http://xdaforums.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

Also, I've run the "Enable write permissions to SD" and "Enable USB Mass Storage" tweaks, and went OK.

Thanks a lot, Condi, Bin4ry and the rest of the developers.

Sorry for my crude and rash, I already deleted that rushed thread.

I can feel it that you are angry for me, but I hope you will forgive me, please!

Now,really I need you help!!!

Hope you to tell me the solution of error 7 and 0. What is the cause?
[Sony Tablet S] pRuben:
just wanted to say thanks. I just rooted the tablet using the all in one tool. It is the European version. Sony Tablet S

Heads up:

When I first run the tool, it didn't work. It was stuck on "working"

I reset the tablet TWICE before the tool started to work.

good luck

Wel...f*ck :D

I got a German 16GB + 3G device and flashed the US R5 one month ago and am trying day and night to go back to my German ROM because I wannt to use the 3G functionality again. But now I know why it doesn't work:

Click

I really hope there will be any solution for the new recovery soon because the most important feature for me is not working anymore :/

You did very well Condi up to this point and I'm sure you will find the solution soon! (please don't claim the opposite:( )

do i have to root the tablet?
[Sony Tablet S] gordo79:
Yeah root, open tweaks and mods install rescue backdoor: option 10 then USB mass storage: option 20
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
hi ;)

you can always downgrade to R1a with 3G.

1) change region to German with 3G

2) flash via recovery - normal way this flash

3) root again with AiO :)
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
Apply "rescue-backdoor" via AiO, and try again :)
[Sony Tablet S] -16-:
I can't apply rescue-backdoor because I get an "applet not found" error. And when I try to change region, there are lots of errors too.

Seems that I don't have proper root access. Checked this with the app "root checker" from market but it says my device is rooted.

Sorry for those questions but even one month of research didn't give me any answers.

Edit: Yup, even after I rooted againg, I have read-only root access...
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
'applet not found' is caused by some updated busybox, or the one which is installed with new method is not with full packets,

gonna check it out.

to get full working:

get busybox binary from AiO files\ directory, push it to device, remount system as rw, replace one in /system/xbin, chmod 777

and run in shell:

/system/xbin/busybox --install /system/xbin
[Sony Tablet S] slinder154:
Sorry, I'm a little outdated... I'm on 4.0.3 rooted, not any release after. I've got the German firmware would like to update to R5. Can I just do it by using the tool? I read something about losing adb in recovery, is that true?
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
R5 is available without 3G. You can update safely to custom R5 - more info here.
[Sony Tablet S] Topery Chiang:
If I need change the region to US? Mine is JP.

If I need update through -hack-recovery? I tried to install the -hack-recovery(18M, auto-renamed "install", cannot unzip), but failed with the signature.

if you want to jump from R1A to R5, then change 1st region to US and use US R1A - here. Root with AiO.

Then use my custom R5, link in signature.

Big thank you Condi for the work, I used it on my Sony P with success. Took a time to realize that I not only have to use "Install ADB Drivers.exe" but first "DPInst.exe" also from the ADB Install folder, but after that everything worked like a charm.

One more question remains. I was directed to this topic because I wanted to use an external USB stick with movies etc. on the tablet. Unfortunately the USB-Stick (connected through an OTG cable) does not even show (or power) up. Do I something wrong?

Thank you!

USB Mass Storage

Installed successfully and got the two icons. I can see the content of the external SD card by using the "UMS extSD" shorcut. However, the "UMS intSD" does NOTHING. I can go back to the internal storage by changing the USB mode back to "MTP" but it seams i should be able to switch between the two (external > internal) just with the shortcuts? or am i missing something?

I do not want to use the internal SD Card every time I have to copy and/or delete a media file.

[Sony Tablet S] -16-:
I'm sorry, but this description is a little bit to complicated for me. I do know some things but when it comes to working with ADB I suck.

Would you mind to explain this a little bit more clearly in a few steps. Thank you.

Today we in Germany receive our Update, but I can't install it because I'm trapped in the US firmware :D

Or maybe someone else can explain it to me, too.
[Sony Tablet S] treetop777:
The solution was surprisingly simple but took me a whole day to find the it - PLUG THE TABLET IN A DIFFERENT USB PORT! then it started to pick up the adb commands. Here are some screenshots in the order i input each command you listed. One set of screenshots is using the snipping tool and the other using paint; i hope they are clear enough.

One more thing: I looks like i'm stuck in SHELL; i don't know what command to input to go back to the "adb" prompt. If it matters, can you tell me HOW TO GET OUT OF SHELL.

Condi: I have a glitch with the update to R5a.

I upgraded from 4.0.3 (first release) using 5.2. The upgrade goes fine, and when I boot into R5a I get the update notification. Every reboot the tablet downgrades itself back to 4.0.3. Is this a problem with your app or my procedure?

Thanks!
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
most probably no. the only way is to use prerooted fw.

if you use prerooted fw - then it has incremental value lowered to be safe to reflash or downgrade - thats normal that it gives you notification, you can disable notifications via AiO tweaks.

if you get 4.0.3. after reboot/wipe - then you need doubleFLASH fw ;)

Thanks Condi - I actually managed to do my own doubleflash just by, well, doubleflashing ;). I like to keep my Canadian region on my tab (damn nationalism and patriotic pride or something), so I flashed a pre-rooted one and then on first boot into R5a flashed the same pre-root again. The second time it copies to System0/Vendor0 and you're in the game.

There should be (I think another) beer/box of diapers in your future. Thanks again for all your work!
