03/05/2012 - 2:14 PM

I am getting some where I successfully got the update zip to run by plugging in a externel sdcard and loading it to the root of the sdcard file system.

But now the error is 'E: Prohibit update as a result of checking version or base sku'

'Installation aborted.
[Sony Tablet S] quiqsilver:
If you flashed the untouched official ICS update, you will not be able to downgrade until you have root again. Unfortunately, there is no known root exploit for ICS on this tablet.
[Sony Tablet S] mitchell985:
I have don't have much to do atm do I am going to continue trying
[Sony Tablet S] SudaDreamS:
We need an answer, will it be possible to root the official ICS?

I'm thinking about taking my tab to service to ask them to revert it to HC, even if I have to pay & then root to upgrade to prerooted ICS, wt do u think? Will they do it?
[Sony Tablet S] mitchell985:
Try that I tried to talk to Sony customer support they didn't know what I was talking about so were no help
[Sony Tablet S] mitchell985:
I am currently stuck were I was last I believe I need to edit the build.prop to make it think I am trying to flash a newer Rom than I currently have on it but I can't replace the build.prop without root that's what I did today tomorrow

I am going to try work with a program my friend showed me called mercury downloadable from here (I would put the link here but it's not letting me just google mercury-v1.0 framework) from my understanding it's a bit like adb but for hacking
[Sony Tablet S] mitchell985:
Ok today didn't go as planned I couldn't get mercury working the computer was not connecting to the device if someone else would like to try please post ur results here other wise,

I need idea's any idea's on how to get this to work crazy, silly, and brilliant idea's they r all welcome I have a silly one which I'll like to share and two questions as well.

Idea connect the flash memory of the device to a USB memory stick then access the memory of the device like it's a memory stick then u can easily access root files or install root but it's desperate and silly and because the way the memory is placed on the board of the device their is no where to connect it to the memory stick.

Question 1 the command adb reboot reboots the device right but adb shell "reboot" requires root so is it possible to use the same privileges that let u run adb reboot to do root things.

Question 2 the system wipe wipes the /data file right if u could change it to wipe the /system file then u remove the system removing the problem of trying to flash the older system than the one on the device but to contradict my own question the device does the wiping in recovery mode which we can not change atm :-(.
[Sony Tablet S] rickwyatt:
What I don't get with the sony is you can't get into fastboot if we could some how get into this mode then we could c:\\fastboot erase system
[Sony Tablet S] mitchell985:
That a good idea but Sony's locked any access to the bootloader well that's as far as I know and on top of that I think u need a unlocked bootloader which they's a project to do that atm but no progress yet
[Sony Tablet S] mitchell985:
I am going into a private project now but the last progress I made is if u try to root the tablet as if it's a motorota defy then it runs as if there is no problem but at the end of the process that freeze and device needs to restarted because if u run adb devices u get (device name) offline it is mean to restart the adb automatically then if u run adb shell it should be in root it's not :-(

Anyway I hope at someone else can pick up this project I shall check in every so often and help if I can good luck I need this too. :-)
[Sony Tablet S] SudaDreamS:
I tried this too, I also tried different rooting tools for different devices with no success, wn ever I try my heart stops for a while afraid to brick
[Sony Tablet S] mitchell985:
My heart all most stopped cos their was the chance I could success anyway if u brick the device u could probability flash any rom
[Sony Tablet S] mitchell985:
Anyone know how to brick the device ?
[Sony Tablet S] Heshamezz:
Idont know how to brick but if u tried take care of :

8. I've bricked my device! What can I do?

- As long as your 'region.zip' file is not damaged, then for 99% your tab can be fixed.

Firstable try to flash this 3.2.1r2 firmware.

In most cases it works. If it will fail then:

1. Boot into RECOVERY;

2. Try to flash the update again - it will fail - thats ok;

3. Wait for 2-3min to get adb available;

4. Use 'adb pull /tmp';

5. Post your recovery.log and region.prop files.
[Sony Tablet S] mitchell985:
That's what I mean if we can brick the device we could downgrade
[Sony Tablet S] SudaDreamS:
I think that's only for bricking while updating with condi's tool, which means during updating to prerooted ICS, I don't think it applies after updating to stock
[Sony Tablet S] Mahaco:
This sounds really stupid but it is like i say:

To brick your device, you must have a rooted tab :p

+ If it it will work without root then you must make shure that you don't ruïn

your Region.zip, b'cause that means you're lost even more, Sadly enough
[Sony Tablet S] quiqsilver:
Correlation does not equal causation; you can't downgrade just because you are bricked. Downgrading or reflashing the same version is simply an escape mechanism from a brick. You can only downgrade if your build number is decremented, which requires root permissions to do.

It is possible that a brick could cause a downgrade, however. There are two system partitions on the device. When you flash an update, it flashes to the "inactive" partition, which then becomes the "active" partition. The bootloader decides which one to mount at startup, and it seems that if one fails to boot several times in a row, it flips over to the other partition. This suggests that if your new version was bricked, it's possible that it would revert to the old partition. This fits with the people who claimed that they had build9 and reverted to build5 after several reboots. This is for informational purposes only. I'm not suggesting that you brick your device in an attempt to revert.
[Sony Tablet S] mitchell985:
That sounds good but it also sounds like thier is no real way to brick a unrooted device :-( new ideas anyone
[Sony Tablet S] likinming:
I got a strange idea.

Can we do something to make the boot loader think we brick it, but actually we don't?

just like PC, when we see Window logo, we unplug, and power on again, it will says last boot up sequence fail, bahbahbah.

Shall we try break it open, boot up, when we see sony logo, unplug battery, do it again and again to make it "thinks" we are bricked?

EDITED**

I find the "Reset" hole on the top can shutdown the device, now playing with reset combination on boot sequence with a paper clip.

EDIT2**

I am out of luck.
[Sony Tablet S] mitchell985:
Great idea but I have play with the reset too and its was annoying to found that their is not real hard reset I think we need senior dev help, someone anyone help

I'm back anyone know how to hook the flash memory of the tablet into a flash drive as the memory chips r the same basic technology ones just bigger than the other
[HTC One S] ChristianFS1:
i might pick up one of those things soon (i'm feeling serious G.A.S!!!), so i just want to know if this phone will see a lot of roms, considering the camera chip... if you think it'll slow down the development significantly, please leave a reply and explain yourself, i'll be very grateful. i'm coming from a desire z, is there anything i have to take into further consideration before buying ? cheers :D
[HTC One S] joshnichols189:
For sense roms.. no. For AOSP roms, it's possible. Maybe in AOSP roms the ImageSense chip will just be ignored/disabled. I don't see it as a huge hinderance though, just a camera hinderance.
[HTC One S] arknailed7754:
Debateable question. Currently loads of older phones still haven't got fully working camera on asop roms. It will be a 'long' time before the one s has a fully functioning cm9. For the while the no sense roms are sweet. The only difference is the settings....and a few other bits.development will kick in.there are devs working on it. As for the one s...its a beautiful piece of phone. Dont be put off by your asop wish...I love cm...but be honest the no sense roms are great till it arrives. If not Lee Droid is coming soon..so tweaks ahoy..
[HTC One S] ChristianFS1:
It's not because i need an aosp rom, i'm more concerned about longterm-upgrade-ability. If HTC decides to not include the imagechip technology in newer iterations of sense, would it be left behind? :)
[HTC One S] o0stryxs0o:
Well they just developed it... I don't see them already leaving it behind especially with as beautiful the pictures turn out with if. I used it through the weekend and I'm very impressed with the quality. It my be a bit before it gets worked into rom development, but I don't think they are gonna drop it any time soon
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
I was messing around with the ICS Beta this weekend, and ran across this link while taking a look at using the V6 Supercharger with ICS. Apparently there is a problem with Su and ICS, and some apps won't see ICS properly rooted with the kernels we have right now.

You can test this for yourself by running an app like Root Checker in ICS. It will show up as the phone is not rooted. The fix in the thread I'm linking here does fix this problem. Note: The script did not work for me but the manual fix did.

Ever since the latest update 9.2.1.21, shortly afterwards my Home is no longer working. The recent apps and back works fine but something's wrong with the stock launcher. Stock ICS 4.0.3 and rooted.

Anyone else having this problem? I'm really getting fed up with ICS. Honeycomb was working perfectly fine for me before. Ugh. Tried installing Go Launcher and still no go. When I press the home key, it just glows blue and does nothing. I can't leave apps to go to home. Nothing.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] baseballfanz:
Backup your stuffs and try a factory reset.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ssl123:
I don't know. Try Home Manager or Home Switcher or one of those apps and see if they do anything for your case.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] e-ignite:
Do you have a dock? Does the hardware home button on the keyboard work?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bsoplinger:
Another possibility. Manage applications -> all apps -> select the launcher (perhaps it's called Asus launcher) and go to the uninstall/data screen. Remove the default option for launcher. The tap the home key and you should get a dialog asking you to select which launcher goes with home. Click the checkbox for default and select the launcher.

[General Questions and Answers] Firefrazed:
Hi all, as you may see by my info, I am a new forumer. I have been stumped on this question the last few days though. How would I trade Pokemon from the Gameboid emulator. So I come across tutorials teaching one how to trade, but it never seems to work for me. I would like to know how to at least convert my .sav file to work for vba link or TGB Dual. Thanks for any answers.
[General Questions and Answers] jonnypommy:
I would also like to know how to do that, has anyone been fortunate to convert a gameboid file into a format where the file can be played on the PC?
[General Questions and Answers] Firefrazed:
Please answer. :)
[General Questions and Answers] zephyrsurreal:
Hi guys!

Converting the Gameboid file to work on the VBA emulator is quite (very) simple. :D

@Firefrazed : I'm not sure about the TGB Dual emu, but I'm guessing it's similar to VBA in terms of where the sav files are placed.

1. Save the Pokemon Game in-game, as in Select>Save.

2. Go to My Files in your phone (phone SD Card directory, I'm assuming its there) and search in the Gameboid folder for the XXXXX.sav file (with the XXXXX being the name of your game.

3. Use bluetooth or some SD card reader to copy and transfer this file to your PC.

4. In your PC, navigate to "Battery Saves" (for VBA).

5. Replace the current XXXXX.sav file with the one you obtained from your phone, or if you haven't save a game on the VBA yet, ignore this step and just paste your phone's XXXXX.sav in the "Battery Saves" folder.

As for the VBA-Link issue, have you checked this out yet? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnZusVRiDfk

And you're done! Hope this helped!

Cheers!
[General Questions and Answers] jonnypommy:
Cheers, zephyrsurreal.

I never actually thought about using Battery saves.
[General Questions and Answers] Sir Schwanzelot:
hi there! i have a similar problem, so i thougt i post it here:

i have been using the gameboid emulator to play pokemon (ahh childhood memories (: ). but the problem is: i put the rom into a dropbox folder, so everytime i navigated to the dropbbox folder, clicked on the rom (its a .zip file) and chose open with gameboid. i save the game via gameboid.

now i want to trade pokemon, so i needed the save game to transfer it on my pc. but the problem: there is no save game in the dropbox folder and there is also no folder on the sd card that would have the save game in it.

i tried saving the game in game, this generated a .sav file in the folder on my sd card (where the gameboid bios file is) but when i use this save game its not working on the pc emulator (using VBA).

i think this has something to do with playing out of dropbox... any help would be greatly appeciated...

ps: i also tried to import the .sav file via battery save, but i did not work, it loaded correctly but it started the game, as there was no savegame at all (right from the beginning)
[General Questions and Answers] cejas1719:
Hi there Sir Schwanzelot!!!

I just read and i thik you can resolve the problem with this:

type-Flash (128KB) then on VBA i go to Options-Emulator-Save type-Flash 128 KB then go to File-Import-and click on the file your phone made with your saved game and it will usually say something like the internal battery is dry but should still load your game.

I had the same problem, and with that...i resolve it :D.

I hope it works to you...
[General Questions and Answers] cronnen55:
Bump

So I'm playing Leaf Green and Fire Red. I managed to trade my Ivysaur from Leaf Green to my Fire Red save. How do I get that save to work on my phone because VBA saves it as a different file I do believe so Gameboid doesn't find it.:eek:
[General Questions and Answers] Brettbesa:
Thanks guys, these have been really helpful. However, I still not have gotten this to work. I set Gameboid to save at Flash 128K and set VBA to do the same. I take the .sav file from the sd card on my phone and copy it over to my PC (I don't see a battery saves file anywhere so I put it in the same folder the .GBA file is in). I go to import it as a battery file and it says "Importing a snapshot file will erase any saved games and reset the emulator. Are you sure you want to continue?" I hit yes and it loads the game up from the start. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] Silvermoon1k:
I have a problem too. I've never had this problem before, but my Gameboid battery save file is being stubborn and staying at 32K. I do the usual thing of saving in the game while the emulator settings are at Flash 128K, but the battery save file is at 32K which doesn't allow me to use it on VBA at all. I've tried using other save types on Gameboid such as SRAM and Automatic and all the other save type options it gives, but the battery save file is always stuck at 32K. Even still, I hoped and tried every single type of save file option on Gameboid with VBA. I tried importing the battery save on VBA with every single save type option that it gives. There was no way for me to open the 32K battery save file. So can someone help me figure out how to make a battery save that's 64K or 128K?? It would be greatly appreciated.

The game I'm trying to save at 64K or 128K is Megaman Battle Network 6: Cybeast Gregar. I don't use cheats or anything. I'm simply playing the game and hoping that there's a way to make it save in the game like any other normal game I've played. At least the ones that allowed me to make battery saves that is..

This describes my issue and troubleshooting steps exactly. Although I would like to clarify: "I hit yes and it BEGINS the game from the start (as in the very beginning opening scene and button descriptions".

---------- Post added at 08:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:15 PM ----------

And update to anyone else who comes along. I solved my issues of GameBoid Advance to VBA by using VBA 1.72 instead of 1.8. I haven't gotten to actually trading anything yet. But now at least my save file from GBA (on my android phone) loads on VBA (on my PC).

Unless I post more, assume the trading worked as well.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fusedpositron:
Why would you want that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] alphadog32:
A) It is better for developers to use as a base and add more of their things.

B) Less memory used and less applications running, so less processes the CPU needs to handle.

C) If you want, you can add ONLY what you want, and that is it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] }{Alienz}{:
I still see no point to this. Users who are adept enough to use this will be adept enough to strip the CM7 rom we already have. Users who can't strip that one won't be able to use this one pretty sure.

As for devs, I'm pretty sure developers are either mostly moving to ICS or can debloat CM7 by themselves.

If you are working on solving bugs, adding features, or theming it, great. I don't really think debloating the crap out of a ROM is really useful though.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] alphadog32:
