Yes you do.
[Sony Tablet S] zorbakun:
Now you can use my new All in one Xperia Tablet Root.zip for easier process, just extract it to an easy path like C:/Xperia root/ then open CMD pointing to the same path and Follow the guide in the first page. :)

I try every means ,but I always failed at the step:adb shell am start -n com.android.vpndialogs/.Term

it result with the same as others who failed:

Starting: Intent { cmp=com.android.vpndialogs/.Term }

Error type 3

Error: Activity class {com.android.vpndialogs/com.android.vpndialogs.Term} does not exist.

I am sure that I have used the zipsigned 2 to change my vpnfaker.apk

What can I do to overcome this problem now?

thank you

[Sony Tablet S] smokey_joe:
hello,

im trying to root my tablet p with your files...

since i have german Tablet P i needed to resign the VpnFaker.apk..

i did but after that i didn't work either...when i look at the logcat i see

I/PackageManager( 163): /data/app/VpnFaker.apk changed; collecting certs
W/PackageManager( 163): Application package com.android.vpndialogs already installed. Skipping duplicate.
W/PackageManager( 163): replace old version

that i looked further and saw that the line in packages.xml is missing after reboot (it was there definitly there before):

before

ndialogs system/packages.xml <
<updated-package name="com.android.vpndialogs" codePath="/system/app/VpnDialogs.apk" nativeLibraryPath="/data/data/com.android.vpndialogs/lib" flags="1" ft="137dc8d8c08" it="137dc8d8c08" ut="137dc8d8c08" version="15" sharedUserId="1000">
<package name="com.android.vpndialogs" codePath="/data/app/VpnFaker.apk" nativeLibraryPath="/data/data/com.android.vpndialogs/lib" flags="1" ft="1396560b400" it="1396560b400" ut="1396560b400" version="45" sharedUserId="1000">

after reboot

shell@android:/ $ /data/local/tmp/busybox grep vpn /data/system/packages.xml
<package name="com.android.vpndialogs" codePath="/system/app/VpnDialogs.apk" nativeLibraryPath="/data/data/com.android.vpndialogs/lib" flags="1" ft="137dc8d8c08" it="137dc8d8c08" ut="137dc8d8c08" version="15" sharedUserId="1000">

so i think VpnFaker.apk is not known as update for VpnDialogs..

i don't understand the packages.xml but yould it be that the ft, it and ut tags are for size or checksums? Because my new signed VpnFaker.apk sure has another filesize and checksum....

i did it twice now, always checked the timestamp and everything...until then everything seems fine...but after reboot i get the "does not exist" error

Any chance that you can tell me how to root the Tablet P on 4.0.3 please?
[Sony Tablet S] sfex3best:
My tablet is on the latest firmware (4.03 release5) can I root this version?

Kinda new on here and it looks like a tough job rooting. I have an rooted xperia play which is really easy to root.
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Should work. Did for me :)
[Sony Tablet S] smokey_joe:
since i've posted wrong in this thread for my tablet p, i think i should tell everyone of you who have problems rooting using this guide, execute the "sync" command after executing the line where the packages.xml is edited "busybox sed -f...." (before the reboot) since the internal disc is a flash the data is not directly written to it..and the sync command forces it to write the changes..if you not sync your changes it's totally based on luck if this works for you

Thanks a lot man!

Only got my Xperia Tablet today (UK) and thanks to you zorbakun, I've rooted it before going to sleep!! Now to link my ps3 pad with sixaxis pair tool :D

If so I may give this another go.
[Sony Tablet S] nozirev:
Apps don't work after root...

After rooting my Xperia tablet with this method all of my installed apps crash on launch. I can fix it by re-installing them but is there an easier way? I have a lot of apps to uninstall and then re-install.
[Sony Tablet S] EeJay:
Mine were deleted as well, but I managed to gain root access :s I just simply reinstalled all my apps and now everything works fine ;)

If anyone has a ps3 pad (official) I highly recommend buying sixaxis pair tool from android market, it works perfectly (needs root), and some games even pick it up as a native gamepad (you have to set it as a native gamepad in sixaxis preferences first)...

Dead Trigger is one of them, and it is simply amazing to play it with the pad wirelessly on such a big screen. Also Beach Buggy Blitz (download from Tegra Zone App) supports it as well.

the great thing is, you dont have to mess about with button mapping etc. if the game supports the pad you just change it in the game itself ;)
[Sony Tablet S] xdapak:
I took the update yesterday. Lost the root and then reroot my tablet.

This time all my apps were fine. So no need to factory reset.

1st rooting took 5hours (to figure out how to),

2nd time 5min only (including a couple of times rebooting).
[Sony Tablet S] EeJay:
So, the ota updates won't have any side effect after rooting?

And if they do, is there a way to reverse this before updating?

Perfect(ion)

So I am now married rooten times to my new tablet Xperia S as described ... works perfectly - only after I had successfully rooted it came the message update is available - that is updated to 4.0.3 Release 6 - then, of course, root access was gone;) So again from the beginning, and what can I say it works under 4.0.3 Rel.6 (Build TID3029210 DE) - was just funny to me that he had brought no message about 60 minutes before I re-examined in order to update earlier - I'm waiting eagerly for the fix that shuts down this tablet in sleep mode all the time - was known to the there is a wifi problem ... so loud Sony Germany

Thank you I can now again NTSF mount;)

Und auf deutsch:

So habe mich heute mal getraut mein neues Tablet Xperia S wie beschrieben zu rooten... funktioniert tadellos - nur nachdem ich es erfolgreich gerootet hatte kam die Meldung Update verfügbar - also geupdatet auf 4.0.3 Release 6 - danach war natürlich rootzugriff wieder weg;) also nochmal von vorn und was soll ich sagen es funktioniert auch unter 4.0.3 Rel.6 (Build TID3029210 DE) - komisch war nur das er mir ca. 60min vorher keine meldung gebracht hatte zwecks update da ich nochmals vorher prüfte - da ich sehnsüchtig auf den Bugfix warte das dieses Tablet im Sleepmodus ständig runterfährt - war ja bekannt das es ein Wlan problem ist... so laut Sony Germany

Vielen Dank nun kann ich auch wieder NTSF mounten;)

Root is gone with the system updated to "4.0.3 release6a"

Previously I have got Xperia Tablet S rooted on 4.0.3 release5.

Today, as "system update 4.0.3 release6a" released, I followed the instruction.

It failed somehow.

My guess was "Rooted device cannot be updated in a formal way, so It needs to be temporarily unrooted.".

I did it with Voodoo OTA RootKeeper, and my device has been successfully updated to release6a. (of course without the root, though)

Now I try to get root access back with the instruction from this post.

But it didn't go well like I did it before.

Thing is ...

after

adb restore settings.ab

Result is

adb shell ls -ld /data/data/com/android.settings/a
/data/data/com/android.settings/a: No such file or directory

and even

adb shell ls -ld /data

drwxrwx--x system system data

and can't go any further.

Any suggestion?

I would say "Don't update to 4.0.3 release6a before proper solution is found."

I have Sony Xperia Tablet S, SGPT123US/S with 4.0.3 release3 rooted using 'Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18' last December 2012.

I want to update to release 6b now so I can us sdxc cards in tablet. Not sure of exactly how to do it and not lose root.

I've just started reading and researching around to figure out how to go about the update and re-root.

Any additional info would be very welcomed. Thanks

---------- Post added at 10:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 AM ----------

Just search for bin4ry root with restore. See my post above for the file I used to root. It is not the method used in this thread. Also, there are release limitations, so make sure you have proper version and all. Good luck.

Take care.......
[Sony Tablet S] griotte:
Thanks it worked. My tablet is rooted. However I cant transfer apps to SD? Is it normal?
[Sony Tablet S] saf4xdadev:
I dont know if it is possible to move or install or run apps from the sdcard2. So far I haven't needed to do it because I have 64GB model. I store and run all videos and music and such off sdcard2 and also keep titanium backups on sdcard2. I do a few other things with the external sdcard drive but nothing like installing apps to it.

I've seen apps2sd, link2sd, directory binder, etc....and dont think they will work. I tried to set apps2sd in romtoolbox to install to the external sdcard but that didn't work either??

It would be good to do when run out of space but so far not near that yet....
[Sony Tablet S] Ubichinon:
After Android 4.0 every device that has more than 1GB of internal storage has the option of moving apps to SD card disabled..
[Sony Tablet S] saf4xdadev:
Good to know, now I can stop wasting time trying out all the apps that claim the ability. I really started to think link2sd was working but at closer inspection it was leaving the files on the internal sdcard.
[Sony Tablet S] Ubichinon:
There are ways, but most of the them dont really work perfectly. Like bining your dir directory to sdcard and that way sdcard gets detected as your internal memory. This can bring performance drop tho and if something happens to the sd card, you are f-ed :)

This is not a Sony problem, no tablet has this option.
[Sony Tablet S] limax182:
You should try Directory Bind, I installed it at my Sony Tablet S1 (16gb) and it works perfectly with my 32GB SDcard
