I've used AiO tool (v3.1) and upgrade to ICS US 4.0.3 on my SG tab and wanted to use my own region ICS since it's out already, but there seems that the only one available in here are the Wifi + 3G version (Singapore).

Take a look around and saw that you can try get the OTA by changing the ro.sony.build.incremental but there's no such line inside my build.prop.

Decided to grab my region.zip (original) and change my region back to SG version but got an error; cannot stat 'backups\original_region_build.prop': No such file or directory.

So I try to change the region to HK and succeeded to download the OTA files but it is for HK region wifi version, so my guess is that I can't download SG version while my region are HK.

Any other way to grab ICS 4.0.3 for SGPT112SG/S?
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Whats you nbx03_0xx number under build.prop.

I will try find update. Best to downgrade to hc 3.2.1 then change back to sg then preroot ics sg file (which ill try find).

Chur
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Ok. So first decyrpt, add root back door etc to this. Hong Kong HC 3.2.1

3.2.1R2 WIFI Only

http://info.update.sony.net/ST006/nbx03_029/contents/0006/signed-nbx03_029-ota-0042.002.zip

Then flash it.

Then change region to singapore. Hopefully you can change back in HC.

Then decyrpt, add root back door etc to this. SG 4.0.3

4.0.3 WIFI Only SGPT111SG/S SGPT112SG/S

http://info.update.sony.net/ST006/nbx03_041/contents/0007/signed-nbx03_041-ota-120410064.zip

And if you need here is HC 3.2.1 file for SG

3.2.1R2

http://info.update.sony.net/ST006/nbx03_041/contents/0006/signed-nbx03_041-ota-0042.002.zip

Hope this help. Good Luck

Chur
[Sony Tablet S] dioswkg:
Thanks for the files!

Has already decrypt HC (HK) but aren't able to add root backdoor. AiO (v3.4) closed after choosing root backdoor.

Downgrade to HC using the decrypt files, success but no root. Root with AiO (v3.4) and somehow the tablet is back to ICS 4.0.3 rooted :confused:
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Hmm not to sure than sorry, haven't been through it my self, kernel 10 lol. Just keep trying you now have the files.:D

Chur
[Sony Tablet S] dioswkg:
Finally got the region thing fix. Realised it needed the old_build.prop (renamed it to original_region_build.prop) as well. Did not copy the prop from v3.1 into v3.4 backups folder. :o
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Gkad to hear, good luck with ics pre root :D

I still have not updated my tablet s 114 Italian (non rooted), and I am no longer able to find a way to update it through the tablet.

How can I do?

I also just downloaded the zip file into this thread, but it is corrupted with winrar or unknown format. Why?

I could use it to upgrade to ICS? How it works?

many thanks!
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
File always says corrupted as it us encrypted by sony. Put it on sd card and run tablet in recovery.

To do this, turn of tab. Then hold vol up button and press power button, keep holding vol up button and tablet will boot into recovery. Then release up button. Use down button, then power to select 'install zip from sd'. Then find the file on sd card and use power button to select.

This should install ics non rooted. If it is not right file in will not update it but is 100% safe as it will fail before it writes to tablet.

Good luck

[Sony Tablet S] lanterna64:
Sorry, but... my settings? and my apps?

It's the same as updating OTA?

Many thanks!
[Sony Tablet S] im_iceman:
I am having a complete nightmare.. tried to update using AiO.. got problems.. lost Wifi.. recovery looping with _hack_recovery... managed to stop that..

Tried to install the unrooted signed sony downloaded rom and now I'm getting an error when I try to install that..

Starting to think that I might need to brick it and take it back to Comets for a swap (if they will swap it!)

Anyone got any fresh ideas?

A quick look from the Sony Singapore's Facebook page about the update:

We're in the midst of preparing the ICS updates for the Sony Tablet S, for this region.

Stay tuned, we'll keep our fans posted when information is made available. Thanks for your patience! :)

Pretty much a template reply. Hopefully we can expect it within 2 weeks?

hopefully it's rolling out before the weekend...

seems the upgrade has been delayed in European countries.

bought one UK machine with the higher price but got a bad waiting upgrade experience. :(
[Sony Tablet S] sapphire88:
Italian Sony customer service told me that they don't know anything about the update, I don't even know if the person who replied me was Italian, his name was Samir, for sure not an Italian name and he didn't speak a correct Italian.. I asked "any news about the 4.0.3 update?" he replied "on our site we don't have any sign of the update and we don't know anything about the update" ... What is Sony doing?
[Sony Tablet S] seasons820:
don't ask staff at sony store; they wont know this kind of things. Now I understand knowing the upgrade thing is not their responsibilities either.

I asked a staff around a month ago about the upgrade, the guy told me it's coming "very soon".

clearly we've waited for a month - so soon. :o
[Sony Tablet S] jb2001:
UK Upgrade delayed due to UK Government deciding all downloads are now taxable ;)

thankfully not but OMG hurry up SONY........... how long does it take to roll out an update that the US got 2 weeks ago ???? its an ENGLISH Build ffs....

this is getting funny - "The time required for development takes longer than their originally planned." what development exactly? :o

it does remind me how Apple release their iOS - same date, same time, - it's synchronous in every country.
[Sony Tablet S] Warren_Orange:
We've been stuffed :(
[Sony Tablet S] reg6ft3:
I doubt I'll buy a tablet from Sony ever again. My experience with honeycomb is laggy and slow

IMO you can see why this company are struggling with huge losses for 4 straight years. Everything I own is a Sony, but time to start using other companies.

Pathetic comms.
[Sony Tablet S] Mushmom:
No one likes working on a weekend. It's quite unlikely that the ICS update will be rolled out to tablets in Singapore over the weekend. Better luck next week.
[Sony Tablet S] vin888:
ICS in Canada

I got my update yesterday in Canada just after plugging in the tablet for a charge.....

Thanks Sony.
[Sony Tablet S] yohandesilva1:
3g

Cmon someone please tell us about the 3g update? Please !
[Sony Tablet S] descb600f:
You have to wonder how many differences there are between the US/Canadian version and the UK version?
[Sony Tablet S] im_iceman:
It's not really about variances.. It's about getting approvals from the relevant authorities in each country, and where they also have a 3g tablet they will also need to get appeal from the mobile carriers... This can take AGES.. And all of the manufacturers face the same issue, the difference being with iPhone/iPad is that they do it all in advance and everyone waits till they're ready to roll...we just don't know about it..

ICS IN middle EAST YAAHOOO in Jordon :p which it means in middle EAST
[Sony Tablet S] nic88:
Lets wait until midnight, as I told you before, according to a software engineer from Sony-us the update should be available today.

However If we does not get updates, I will ask him again on Monday.
[Sony Tablet S] xperiax10.awesome:
Any other EMEA countries?
[Sony Tablet S] descb600f:
I'm not doubting what you say but what permission do they need to update software, do Microsoft do this with every update?
[Sony Tablet S] xperiax10.awesome:
Plus current updates are only for WiFi version, so there is no point of carrier permission..
[Sony Tablet S] Warren_Orange:
Well more countries seem to be getting the download so there is still hope for Europe.

hopefully the UK users will get upgraded today.:o

Dude..Countries like Indonesia, Thailand got update well before UK so u never know :rolleyes:

Wait till next week to hear more news..

dude...My cousin stays in india and wen he contacted the sony india head offce peeps they said that they have no intimation regaarding the update anytym in near future or so

So I guess that makes sense to put india at the last

Atleast uk and others hav some sort of intimation but sony india has no intimation at all...

Sony Singapore has been replying to Sony Tablet S users that the ICS release for Singapore is delayed.

Quoted:

'System software is developed and released for each country. The time required for development is taking longer than we originally planned. For some countries software update has been released already and for other countries it will be released consequently at a later timing. We are in the process of estimating the release timing & will let you know as soon as we have more precise dates. Thanks for your kind patience.'

[Sony Tablet S] Eldwafio:
Just got a reply to my request for information on the update on Sony uk's Facebook Page. They said unfortunately they don't have any specific date when it will land but it is coming soon.

Had to put up with this nonsense updating my Xperia Ray, should have guessed I'd have similar with the tablet. Fair play to them for actually updating their devices when they could just slightly refresh the hardware and expect people to pony up for the pleasure, but damn, they need a lesson in effective communication
[Sony Tablet S] seasons820:
it's unacceptable that they dont even release a timetable - at least they should explain what they are busy in, and why they still cant overcome the problem - what problem exactly!?
[Sony Tablet S] reg6ft3:
Totally agree, the comms have been absolutely pathetic. I suspect this will be my one and only Sony tablet. Mine has a two year warranty and don't want to void it as I'll probably sell it later this year for a Tegra 3 tablet.
[Sony Tablet S] JMS74:
If the process was fail proof I would do it but there's do many bricked devices out there because of that down I wait for official release
[Sony Tablet S] dexter9898:
I'm assuming that countries that do sell the 3G models will have their ICS update delayed till June.

All countries have different model numbers so that Sony can do a localize update, but makes me wonder why. Why can't they learn from Apple, global consumers want update as fast as their US counterparts.

SGPT111GB - UK

SGPT111US - US

SGPT111SG - Singapore

SGPT111IN - India

SGPT111MY - Malaysia

And to be frank, after my Xperia Arc ICS update, which was full of bugs :mad:, I'm not that eager with this update. :cool:
[Sony Tablet S] Irishpaul70:
looks like the update is available for New Zealand.

My TabletS says download of update failed (reason being - i switched of the router :-)

Normally - if i go to Settings, About Tablet, Update - it says 'No Updates Available' - so this is the only reason I think that the update is now available for New Zealand.

So when I get a change - will back up tablet Sony S, and then do the download later when I have my power supply.

Update: Just re-booted tabletS and run the System Update - and says no update available - so not sure what it was doing earlier. Damn, come on Sony NZ!!!

No, it will always come up with that message if it can't connect to the server / internet Try it by turning off wifi, and try the update - same message. I got excited too the first time I got that message!
[Sony Tablet S] SuperMonkey:
excuse my ignorance, but I am going to the US soon, can I get the update when there on my UK tablet if its not been released here by then?
[Sony Tablet S] sagar13:
I originally purchased the tab from india but recently rooted and played with the aio tool by condi. Now it says a system update avsilable. Is it ics?? It does not mention that in the update. What else could it be?? Any idea folks?

Edit: I remember NOT changing the region settings through the AiO tool (via an option given for changing the region).

Is there a way to find out what region is my tablet currently registered to?
[Sony Tablet S] Warren_Orange:
No because its set for the UK region. It won't update over there. If you bought an American tablet and brought it here it would update.

The update looks for the region in the os software.

You can change your region to the USA on you British bought tablet to get the update but I wouldn't recommend it.

You might as well wait for the official UK release.
[Sony Tablet S] ivo34:
...after all this s... with the updates my feelings for Sony are not the same, for shure my next tablet will be a android,but not a Sony! :mad:
[Sony Tablet S] Rashkae:
LOL

Which one? Users from other brands are waiting too. Sony is actually one of the first to push the ICS update to their tablets.
[Sony Tablet S] xperiax10.awesome:
Guys, there is NO point thrashing Sony, atleast they are delivering ICS well within promised time line, remember they said that ICS will be out along with Xperia 2011 line!!!

And there are many countries where ICS is already available..

Lets just wait patiently till end of June, after June I will be the first to Kick off sony :)

Sony just cannot do the global release, reason even I am trying to find out :banghead:
[Sony Tablet S] mr_tawan:
Easy guys :D. I know it's frustrating that all Tablet S does not get update at the same time. There might be reasons for that, I don't know what exactly.

It's quite lucky this time that us in Thailand get the update quite early, though it takes almost a month after US and JP region.

I got a theory ... for DVD region code, USA is zone 1 and Japan is zone 2. They got update at the same time. Next is SE Asia, Thailand included, which is zone 3 and get updates around a month later.

The theory is already broken as Singapore does not get updated ATM lol. But I think it's a nice try to think. Just take it lightly ;-)
[Sony Tablet S] latzu:
Yup. Free when you sign up for the card.

Google HSBC Visa Infinite sony Tablet S. Seems quite many have signed up for the card and subsequently sold the tablet to make a small profit.
[Sony Tablet S] dexter9898:
What are you talking about? In Singapore, Asus Transformer Prime & Samsung Galaxy Tab are already ICS in April.

---------- Post added at 01:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:09 PM ----------

The reason is because all other countries in SEA don't sell Tablet S 3G version If I'm not wrong, countries that sell the Wifi only and 3G version will have the ICS upgraded together.

[Sony Tablet S] dante2086:
In reply to dexter 9898, I have a galaxy tab 10.1. There's no update. Don't know about the transformer.

Sony is one of the first to update to ICS and yet, they still get trashed. You do realise, they could have easily withheld the ICS update for the wifi regions, till the 3G regions were ready. And launched all in June. But still, they get trashed. No company is updating as many devices to ICS as Sony. And still, they get trashed. Tough world.
