I forgot that ICS puts that variable in a different location. You need to:

"adb pull /datapp/vendor/vendor0/vendor.prop"

If that doesn't exist, try:

"adb pull /datapp/vendor/vendor1/vendor.prop"

Sorry about that. I'm 99% sure that it's going to be a bad value anyway, but it won't hurt to check.

I was only able to pull the vendor0 since the vendor1 did not exist.

[Sony Tablet S] quiqsilver:
You're in luck. You can flash this to revert to 3.2.1 r2 and start over the process to upgrade to a pre-rooted ICS.

The fact that your update apparently had a decremented ro.sony.build.incremental but no root makes me think that this was not caused by user error since both modifications happen in the same step without any user intervention necessary.

Some possible causes for this case:

system.img did not extract properly from the update. This could be from a lack of available memory (on the tablet) to perform the unzip or inadequate space on the sdcard.

system.img failed to mount properly for reasons unknown. This is less likely, but sometimes happens.

Insufficient hard drive space on the AiO computer to pull system.img.

Insufficient free memory on the AiO computer for 7zip to update system.img in custom_update.zip. This is not a possibility if 7zip archive updates are all-or-nothing.
[Sony Tablet S] shoneb:
Anyone, pls..?
[Sony Tablet S] sebarkh:
Sorry, root needed to change region.

---------- Post added at 10:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 AM ----------

From what you wrote I can say that 7zip developers are more careful than makers of this expensive device. It would be a shame if they allow partly unpacked archives to flash...
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
added [FAQ] section in first post, for now its only a few points, but important as far as Im concerned :) what do you think guys?

added also small info in every feature list as [ICS-OK] - means that the function is ready, and working on ICS device :)

next thing which I have almost ready is adhoc for ics :)
[Sony Tablet S] spacecat:
I am on a UK sony s and I did the region change and updated to ics via the OTA its pretty cool but obviously rooted would be better

Can I go back and re do it or am I stuck for now

Thank s
[Sony Tablet S] herick:
You are stuck, so am I.
[Sony Tablet S] samyukta88:

[Sony Tablet S] compunerd3:
In the process of rooting and flashing the ICS so will post when its done :)

Excited
[Sony Tablet S] sebarkh:
Those who updated with an official update, either by changing the region or because they were lucky to live in the region where the update was available, CANNOT root their tablets.

Only those who flashed the custom prerooted update made with Condi tool have root.

Noone else. Sorry.

Good luck!
[Sony Tablet S] puredreamz:
How would I know if this flash was successful? I tried to flash the zip (was I supposed to flash hack recovery first?) but the start-up animation kept on looping for over 20-30minutes and finally I just powered off the device and started it back up again. Is that normal?
[Sony Tablet S] compunerd3:
Worked flawlessly! Thanks so much you are an absolute genius!
[Sony Tablet S] sfctac:
You need to hold Vol-UP button during 3rd stage of the flash process (before the 3rd light goes green) and reset your device in recovery mode, otherwise you get into the infinite animation loop and revert back to ICS.

See this thread for detailed instructions:

No harm done, just try the process again.

You will know that you are successful when About Tablet in Settings shows Android version 3.2.1.
[Sony Tablet S] puredreamz:
3.2.1 was flashed successfully but now AiO v2.8 hangs on "*daemon started successfully*" when I try to root. I've rooted before but I just don't get what I'm doing wrong this time. I try to run shell in adb and I get "Adb server out of date. killing..."

quick question

hey, quick question....i've updated to ics, rooted with your tool. since ive done that, could i, theoreticaly, unroot, then reroot while still on ics?
[Sony Tablet S] puredreamz:
I've tried to update a couple of days ago but it says my drivers are up to date.
[Sony Tablet S] sebarkh:
Root is a kind of full access to the filesystem. And you gain it by adding some files to system folders, so if you delete these files (su, tempsu) there will be no way to add them again.

Am I right?

Hmmm...Flashing prerooted rom just came to my mind, but will you be able to flash it?

It is the question to Condi. But I do not think so.

---------- Post added at 11:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 PM ----------

Information in Windows that your drivers are uptodate is not relevant.

Update with these drivers I showed you. Go into Device Manager and choose to updaate manually, browse to the folder with the drivers and say yes when the screen about possible damage to your computer message comes up.
[Sony Tablet S] puredreamz:
Updated drivers but still AiO v2.8 hangs at *daemon started successfully* when I try to root. Any other ideas?

Hey I got one more quick question, my tablet has no memory left and I need to format it, its rooted, so if I format it will i lose root? If so, how can I format it without losing root?
[Sony Tablet S] ChrisKenison:
Root Question

I just bought the Sony S off ebay. Not sure if they've updated it to ICS, but I'm sure they have. If they have, is there a current way to root the device? I've read that, as of right now, you can't? Is this correct. If you can, what ROMs are people using on this tablet?

Thanks,

Try updating the driver on ur PC
[Sony Tablet S] puredreamz:
With what drivers? I've already updated to the drivers that sebarkh provided in the link.
[Sony Tablet S] samyukta88:
If u have received it tablet with ics installed then it is the official ics firmware...

There is no way till now to root official ics firmware

The only way to have rooted ics is to have a rooted honeycomb firmware prior nd then pre root the ics before upgrading as mentioned in this post first Page tutorial

So in short there is no official ics root till now and you can't root ur device if it has ics installed

Hope this helps
[Sony Tablet S] ODD BOY:
[*] It looks that your device is [for now] not rootable...

[*] In your kernel version exploit vulnerability has been locked down...

[*] You need to wait for DEVs to find another way...

my kernal is 2.6.39.4

integ-build@build9#1
[Sony Tablet S] sebarkh:
Ok, so what is the problem now? Still stucks in AIO Tools at "Waiting for device"?

Ican see that some device is properly connected

Restart your PC and run again

Before you start - right after reboot - run the command:

adb kill-server

Maybe some other instance of ADBis running?

AIOtools should start it's own ADB binary... Hmmm... strange...

Anyway, reboot and run:

adb kill-server,

and then connect tablet and run AIO tools.

Also make sure that you have no ather phone-related soft running in background (like Android Commander)

Any news regarding people who got stucked on Sony Logo screen after trying to do the rescue-backdoor?...
[Sony Tablet S] ejchis:
Mine is in the possession of Sony right now. Kind of holding my breath about the whole root/warranty thing.
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
It has to be something different than just rescue-backdoor function.

When I was making that feature, I had even one situation,

when Ive lost /system/build.prop file - empty one,

and even then I could use adb shell to fix my tab.

The point is that rescue-backdoor function modifies only

one file - /system/build.prop, and its safe.

I saw your recovery.log, and it looks that you have damaged

region. This cant be achieved by rescue-backdoor feature.

In rescue-backdoor there is even no remount of /configs partition!

= no write access to region!

br

condi
[Sony Tablet S] sservati:
I think when we update to Pre Rooted US Version of ICS the region will be changed to US. Can we change the region of ICS now with AiO 2.8 for example to Canada?

I know it might have been answered but I thought it is clear question with clear answer and might be good to ask!
[Sony Tablet S] guyenxda000:
Min gave me error after 3. rom table 2. add some stuff -> gave me error like: can not find file table, can not find /mnt/sdcard2/decrypted.. . zip not there blah blah blah when the file was actually was there ( i copied the /sdcard2 and sdcard2 -> /mnt/sdcard2.
[Sony Tablet S] mmisep:
The only thing I've done first was root, than I was trying to follow the guide and in one step gave me the error that it was unable to proceed and I needed to mend the rescue-backdoor, that was what I've tried to do next. In the process when the tool displays that the tablet is rebooting my tablet never booted up.

You've stated that you've read my log, the only question left is: Is there any hope, or is my tablet lost?
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
There is always hope, but to be honest - I dont know if and when the solution will be available. The fastest solution for you is to use warranty in sony repair centre.

br

condi
[Sony Tablet S] mmisep:
Ok Condi, Thank you very much!
[Sony Tablet S] sebarkh:
/sdcard2 and /mnt/sdcard2 is the same location.

The original location is mnt/sdcard2, while /sdcard2 is a mount point.

Moreover, stating: "i copied the /sdcard2 and sdcard2" is also some misunderstanding of linux file system naming standards I s'ppose.

Anyway, I am very sorry for your tablet. I know how it feels... But when you receive the tablet back from service, contact me or Condi: I'll help you with the update step by step. Good luck at service center!
[Sony Tablet S] sservati:
Any Clear Answer?
[Sony Tablet S] ejchis:
This ws my experience exactly.
[Sony Tablet S] guyenxda000:
Okay I am not sure what you mean from service. I never took to service, nor I felt need to. I dont see any disrepancy in the file system

/sdcard2 looks like a softlink to /mnt/sdcard2 but i just dont know why the AIO is complaining about the file table is not there. Any idea about how to fix on this?
[Sony Tablet S] sebarkh:
repair service, doesn't matter. I thought your tablet is bricked. If it is not, wait for Condi to implement log function and we will be able to see what's happening there.

Now, all you can do is see yourself in the script and find the command that returns "file table not there" message. Good luck!
[Sony Tablet S] EwanG:
OK, understand I've rooted a few devices (not my Tablet S before ICS unfortunately), have done some Android Programming (Can still find Mars Lander on Slide.Me I believe), and was even a Unix System Programmer at one time (wrote some modules for the original release of AIX).

In any case, I'm trying to think my way through somehow making the ICS flashed Tablet either rootable, or at least fix the sdcard2 so it's writable.

It seems to me that the Sony File Transfer program might provide some options for doing one or the other of these. Since it can move files from the Internal to the External, and then erase them afterwards it is obviously working with root-level permissions and turning on and off the Write flag to do it's work. So one thought would be to use whatever API it's using to just turn on the write flag permanently. Of course it would also seem that if you could "interrupt" the program at the right point you might be able to catch the sdcard2 in a writable state. Probably wouldn't survive a reboot, but still...

Another thought is I wonder what would happen if you copied some of the system files to the external card with "Erase after copy", and then copied new and hacked files to replace them? Has anyone tried this? Any reason to think this wouldn't work?
[Sony Tablet S] samyukta88:
No you cant
[Sony Tablet S] sebarkh:
I think you can. I did it. I changed it with 2.8 version.

@samyukta: what you mean, applies to version 2.7. In version 2.8 you can freely swap regions
[Sony Tablet S] wintermute000:
Download link for custom ICS zip keeps coming up as a corrupted zip. Any chance of a reup or different host (dropbox?) cheers
[Sony Tablet S] kryddan:
If you try to open the file on your computer it will turn up as corrupted, yes. That is normal. Just put it on your external SD-CARD on your tablet. It will work just fine.

It did for me.

ps. v2.9 almost done..
[Sony Tablet S] xpri:
condi , any sneak peak of the new features of 2.9? usb mass storage?
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
yep, mass storage,

fixed 'decrypt' function for ICS devices (aio was closing on the beginning) - because of no incremental value in build.prop,

added check to adhoc for ics,

fixed (I think) copying of decrypted update - even if it will not copy, then a message comes requesting manual copy,

some cosmetic changes,

but most of the time i've spent on usb mass storage :)

[Sony Tablet S] obicom:
Hi Condi,

great work again.

Could you explain a little bit more the new mass storage mode and what kind of shortcuts we need to toogle on/off?
[Sony Tablet S] quiqsilver:
You will need to do a store exchange or seek Sony support. Your region.zip file is empty, and recovery checks this file before flashing any update. Even if your system is rooted, we have no way of running a shell on your tablet. Ergo, we cannot flash any update to restore your system. Sorry for the bad news.

---------- Post added at 12:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 PM ----------

Flash this. It will revert you to 3.2.1 r2 US, which is rootable. If it errors, pull the recovery log with "adb pull /tmp/recovery.log" and post it here.
[Sony Tablet S] SudaDreamS:

well done, people wont be able to thank you enough

I know that you are running out of time, but I was hoping you will work on rooting the stock ICS sometime, any plans? the device sucks without root for me :)

Confirmed. UMS works!

I had to add the GScript widgets to make it function correctly.

Both External SD card, OR Internal SD (loads by default), are now individually seen as a "Removable Disk" in Windows. Easily accessible and a snap to switch back & forth. The transfer rate is about the same as wireless, about 2.5 mbps, but I'll try using the SD card write settings in the AiO to tweak it a little. Ideas?

I just loaded 8 gigs of TV shows and 2 gigs of mp3s to my 64gb SDXC External SD card: HDD to extSD direct. Amazing. ;)

This is so cool, thank you condi!

[Sony Tablet S] wintermute000:
Condi, just some feedback re: root and upgrade to ICS, thanks for your clarification re: corrupted zip is not really corrupted.

I tried to do the prerooted ICS method on a stock HK tab. Rooted, changed region, created the hacked recovery zip, managed to get all the way to getting the signed update zip created on the PC under the signed folder of the script folder. I copied it back to external storage. However in recovery it refused to install even using option 4.

I gave up and used OTA with region change to US (lazy me lol) thanks for your work, hopefully we can get ICS OTA root eventually.

Oh and I think it would benefit newbies if you put a note in OP saying if slow after ICS upgrade, do a full wipe (default factory), I had to do that.

[Sony Tablet S] madchicosmina:
Hi guys,

I just wanna share some strange things that hapenned with me!

Well, althought i have an european 16 Gb 3G Tab, i'm running Condi's ICS. As i posted a few posts before, after installed ICS i lost root, bur then i applied Condi's fix-> factory reset -> and regained root.

But either in AiO 2.8 or 2.9, PC couldn't see the tab, despite i could in "my" adb. Then i changed the adb inside AiO 2.9 by the one i have and ... it worked!!!

I could install USB Mass Storage.

I now have a question...

If i know that a have root, if i insiste (just because) on option 1 - root device, why does AiO says that my device is not capable to get root access? Is it normal or my tab is crazy?

One more questions: i not a linux expert, but what happens if i edit condi's AiO batch and try to copy the "su" and "tempsu" from folder "files" to /system/bin/su ... etc

Thanks

still having root issue

Hey guys, im back from been away, and for 3 hours now i have been retrying to update to ics with no luck.

I have followed the video step by step, re downloaded everything and re followed the video, used version 1.7, 1.8 and 1.9 but get the same result every time.... when it gets to the add root stage it does nothing like what the video does, regardless of if i do it the way of the video or if i type y and go strait through with it. all my AiO tool does is run thorough some script and then AiO tool shuts down {thats why i re downloaded AiO tool ect} I have gone though the process as per written and video instructions but this always happens. I can still sign it but regardless when i tried to flash it {all attempts} it gets to intalling update but unlike the video there is no big yellow box with custom update . zip info but goes strait to write files to vendor1 then says installation failed, aborted. I changed region to us and back to aus also to try different things.

What i am doing wrong????

p.s. sorry if its a stupid oversight on my part.....
[Sony Tablet S] blambo:
First:

-Update your JAVA platform (using IE only) to v6-update 32.

-Read condi's v.03 instructions in the first post.

-Carefully read this post by TheHurf to get a good feel for what it is that you are going to do.

-Make sure you are set in "USB debugging" mode.

Then:

-When you first use the AiO, run #5 to change your region to US.

-Simply follow condi's text instructions to the letter.

Be patient, it will work.
