unable to adb from recovery in 4.0.3r5 confirmed .I am searching infos about mystery recovery attributes after r5 update ( correct me if i am wrong ). After r5 update in recovery I have info same as in picture of 1446 post of this thread . " android system recovery 3e

System utility rev.36 BL: 0x00000008 , EC: 0.73 , master . Let sb of you check if have same in eg 4.0.3r1 previous android . Sbdy who didnt update to r5 yet. It seems that bootloader has new privileges and restricted user access to some processes. . What is EC mean ? Embededd controller? I wish I was wrong and experienced good will from manufacturer whose by this change unlocked bootloader.

I have a problem with signing of custom update zip.

The problem is when I put some apps to vendor folder of custom_update.zip.

What does it mean "error: java heap space"?

Maybe I put too more apps to vendor folder?

I tried to sign it without putting any aps to vendor folder and it does.

What I'm doing wrong?
[Sony Tablet S] biablo:
Make everything again . Read instructions in aio. Here you have info about java heap error

http://javarevisited.blogspot.com/2011/05/java-heap-space-memory-size-jvm.html

Maybe sth is wrong with new apps which you add to custom. Try to create custom with only one of app and say if its succeed .

BR biablo
[Sony Tablet S] papacarla:
I found that the error is when the size of custom zip is rising above 275mb.

Hello,

MY tablet S is Chinese, Had Android 3.2 version kernel 10 when I bought it, I got it to upgrade to 3.2.1 then I could root and and folow tha chinese tutorial for AllinONE, everithing was going great till i got to step 7. "Decrypt Update function",

I'm in China, the first time I tried I forgot to Conect the Strong VPN, then AIO couldn't reach Google DNS..., I have been waiting for 10 min or so, but nothing hapened, then I closed the window and tried again with the VPN on, but now the problem is that after some process the window close by itself and the tablet turns off :(

After that in my SD card there is an install file but not the hack_recovery, I'm stuck here and don't know how to fix it out, any idea?

I hope someone can help me I really don't know where is the matter :confused:

Thanx in advance

Hello guys, I recently got my tablet S, but I wanna know if it's possible to root my tablet using this method (I'm familiar with flashing things in my Defy :P but a little afraid about the Tablet S) it's currently running ICS 4.0.3 (release1a) Kernel 2.6.39.4 integ-build@5 # 1 (It came with it) and it's the brazilian version

Thank you! :p

Package 'com.pwn.me' is unknown

Hi!

I'm trying to root Tablet P 3.2.1 (not kernel 10)

getting Package 'com.pwn.me' is unknown

Is it timing issue? Can I adjust something in "S.onyTablet.S.bat"?

Or do I need to install something from the Market? Terminal or Debugger?(but I don't have root yet)

Thank you!

How to GO BACK - Do I need to drive 88MPH to do it?

OK...now that I have been reading in this forum for the last 2 hours...and y eyes are crossed and my brain throbbing.

I have the SONY TABLET S (non-XPERIA). I got it used/new Sept 29 (my birthday present to myself). I love it. I waited 2 weeks to take the update it kept nagging me to take to 4.0.3 (r5). NOW I REGRET I DID. Lost many of my favorite things..

I want to get it back to the 4.0.3 that was on it. I have tried everything.

I was directed to this forum and I have downloaded S.onyTablet.S__ALLinONE__v4.1.7z . I extracted to C:\ROOT_SONY and left the folders intact (Windows 7 Pro (x86)). I used an elevated CMD prompt to run the S.onyTablet.S.Bat file and following everything that I have read - started in STEP 1.

Plugged the USB cable into the table. Win7 recognizes it, and then I hit 1 on the batch menu. Told me to press ENTER to ROOT the device. Says allow 3 minutes+ to complete. I left it sitting well over 14 minutes and it never left the screen:

[*] FULLY AUTOMATIC - ROOT SHOULD TAKE ABOUT ~ 3min 10s.

[*] Press enter to root your tablet...

[*]

[*] Waiting for device...

* daemon not running. starting it now *

* daemon started successfully *

I pressed CTRL+C and ended the batch.

So then I tried to start with STEP 3.

I copied the signed-nbx03_001-ota-120803002.zip file that I downloaded form this forum to the __to_be_signed folder and nothing worked. So then I said....well it is signed already, copied it to the __signed folder. Again....nothing.

I tried renaming the file to UPDATE.ZIP and placing in the ROOT of the CD card (which is blank BTW, except for a LOST.DIR folder which SONY puts on then when it mounts the card.

Booted into the RECOVERY TOOL - told it restore UPDATE FROM SD CARD. It started the process and failed because the version on the tablet is higher than the update.zip file.

So, here I am -- hoping that someone can tell me how to use either the AIO Tool and the file for the pre-release5 to get my tablet back to the 4.0.3 version I had (don't really care about ROOT) - just want to go back, or by using some other method to accomplish the same feat.

Thanks to all in advance.

I tried to create decrypted Update.zip with AIO 4.1. It creates _hack-recovery.zip and pulls it to my sd. But then AIO 4.1 closes and my Tablet powers off. I bought my tablet in Germany but I changed my region to US when ICS-Update was available there and flashed it. When I now install the update OTA and then root again with this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 would it work?
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Try to avoid 4.1 it is a bit buggy. Use 4.0 instead. You van root r5 with that method. Just note that r5 changes the recovery so you can no longer use the AIO method. For more info see my FAMILY in sign

Hi, I am located in Indonesia, and I can't find my ICS firmware for Sony tablet S1, which should I go with? please help thank you
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Hi all updates are located at my thread here. It may not be under the same name. If you can install a file manager from Google Play and look in the file /system/build.prop for HoneyComb or /vendor/vendor.prop in ICS and look at the nbx03_0XX. Match this number to the update link and download that one.

Please let me know the number and I will add Indonesia to the list

Condi, thanks for your awesome work. I was wondering if you had any plans to edit the AIO tool to work with the Xperia tablet s. If so, I think the most important feature (if any) would be getting rescue backdoor to work. Anything you could do would be greatly appreciated.
[Sony Tablet S] tonycrew:
Install "USB Mass Storage" support. - yes! for external sd, and also internal one!

Can be easly turned on with two shortcuts on home screen

Hi i have installed this but don't really see what it's doing...? i turn on UMS extSD and it reboots system, but i cant install anything to SD no app seems to see it, i can see it in Storage, and i can play music off it, but i could do that before.
[Sony Tablet S] Zero|Cool:
So far I couldn't understand one thing.

I have the Sony Tablet S1. Last month I did an OTA update to official ICS R1a.

Can I use this tool to root and change region to get the R6 update?
[Sony Tablet S] papacarla:
No you can't. You should use this root method first. Then you can use AiO to upgrade your tablet (use 4.0 ver. only)
[Sony Tablet S] Zero|Cool:
And then I will be able to change region?

Will it work? Thanks in advance :D

Trying to root 4.03 Canada firmware the one before 4.03 r1a having some trouble the vpnfaker term wont open ive resignes the vpnfaker and rolled it back and used the original always says error 3 not installed is this firmware rootable?
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
working hard on AiO v5.0, last night I went sleep ~05:15AM :eek: :D

for now I can tell you two things:

1) 'resigning' VpnFaker.apk on device to get device-specific sign is bull****.

zipsigner2 signs with official platform.x509.pem&platform.pk8.

you can unpack from signed vpn apk CERT.RSA file and check it with

java jdk's "keytool.exe -printcert -file CERT.RSA".

platform's md5 is

8D:DB:34:2F:2D:A5:40:84:02:D7:56:8A:F2:1E:29:F9

.

also - you can compare signed apks from 'other fw devices' - they will be identical.

so once again - resigning is bull**** :)

2) settings which are supposed to make your device get root easier,

like 'stay awake', 'mock lockations' etc. are also not necessary.

I have custom AUTOMATIC root script, still trying to make it working in 100% runs.

For now I can tell you that you will need only make two clicks on device - thats all :)

No more terminal manual typing etc.

I have in plans rewrite all functions to be compatible with Xperia Tab

(many of them are already working - as I read some reports :) ).

So I can say that v5.0 is aaaalmost ready :)

BTW. R5A - shell in recovery cant be achieved, right?

Maybe someone knows what is changelog in R5A?

Is it worth to flash it? If yes - i've got idea to get R5A,

without locked recovery shell :)
