but br condi said the R5A not rootable!!! and in R5 vpn not work, :crying:[/QUOTE]

oh, sorry. now i know it, so... well, now there is no way to root r5a by sony. i think, this problem will be solved, but not soon.

and - i apologize for the incorrect information in my first answer.
[Sony Tablet S] o_vdx:
recovery driver installing is similar to standart driver manual installing, you should go to device manager while your device in recovery and connected to pc, install driver via "install driver from disk" (just choose dir with drivers installer, .inf file is already included) then your device will be recognized in device manager.

Ihve problems to install the Update from 1. post.

i install the Automated ADB driver, must install the driver for the Tab S manuall because i have the yellow "!", ok do it like in the Video on You Tube.

After that i type in: adb devices , and it show me the number of the adb device.

Than i start the AiO5.3, use point 3: than point 4. and Enter.

Than came a long time: Waiting for device....

after a while: ADB server didnt ACK

That cames two times

And now i have a red screen `su` binary not found

I did a factory reset before. Was that the mistake?
[Sony Tablet S] eric1214:
Hi o_vdx

u need activate rescue-backdoor , first menu choose 4, then choose 1,,,,
[Sony Tablet S] tasar:
@ eric1214, thanks but that was not my problem! The problem was the adb.exe in the AiO5.3. The adb.exe in the "Automated ADB Driver Installer " has a size of 577335 By., the adb.exe in the AiO5.3 162816 By.

I wonder that every comand with the bigger ADB.exe was fine and with no problem, so i copy the bigger adb.exe and replace the smaller in the AiO5.3.

And voila: Everything work fine :) Update with no problem to r5a

Hi Condi, I just sent the email to Sony for pickup (maybe you will never give up, but I just did :) ), I just wanted to thank you for your efforts and for your good job (I have been quite unfortunate, but that's not your fault!).

In the next few days, I will send you a small donation. Thank you again.

Hello Guys,

I'm trying to flash the wi-fi only doubleflash into my Tablet S (R1A) but at the step to 'reboot with vol up' (recovery) after accessing it nothing more occour :\ maybe I missed something?

EDIT: If I choose the automatic mode after 3~4 option it says that the file is not there (custom_update_signed.zip) but is there lol (I'm using the Mass storage USB 'hack' from AiO tool)

if I choose manual it stop after the reboot nothing happens (at recovery)

EDIT2: If I want to update via OTA it's not possible, it's possible to know why? and can I revert it back (to still the OTA update)? thanks!
[Sony Tablet S] <robin>:
thanks condi!

i have some qustions:

1,my tab region is china,so i need change region then can use this rom?

2,if i want use china r5a rom,how to replace recovery for custom pre-root rom?
[Sony Tablet S] Johny1fin:
Hi TheGuuH,

Sorry if this is obvious but do not rename the file custom_update_signed.zip but just custom_update_signed as this is a zip file the file extension will be there already just not visible.

I put mine on the SD by putting the card in my PC not by USB so to ensure a decent undamaged copy.

Then use aio with 3 then 4 options.

I use v5.2 but v5.3 should be OK.

Try again and good luck.

Do not use ota to upgrade to 5a as at present there is no way back and you will lose root.
[Sony Tablet S] TheGuuH:
mmmm You are using a SD card then? because I'm copying it to the 'internal memory' (32 gb).

I was trying to figure it out why and checking at the AiO

_submenu_custom_rom.bat:

files\adb shell "su -c 'ls /mnt/sdcard2/custom_update_signed.zip'" > files\cf2

It's searching for the .ZIP at the sdcard2 (that I assume it's the 'SD' card slot, you said that you plugged the card at your PC)

and at my tab the file it's at 'sdcard' (checking with Root Explorer) I tried to change it to 'sdcard/custom_update_signed.zip'

but no luck :( (right now im working and I cant test it futher)

So should I test with a SD Card at my tab?

EDIT: lol yes I did after the screenshot but idk why it simple does not work grrr

EDIT2: My tablet is from brazil sgpt112br/s
[Sony Tablet S] eric1214:

Tablet P US 3.2.1 Will Not Flash ROM

Hey guys, I know this has been explained as a easy task but I am not capable of flashing any of these roms. I have obtained root, but not after a few days of having no luck. My device allows me to sign the rom and when it tries to update to it it gives me the same error 7. I have tried every method on here and even changing the region and trying a OTA for that region yields no favorable results. Can someone please help?
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Have you tried to use flasher??

It should solve your problem... you can choose to keep existing recovery too. :)
[Sony Tablet S] cøm3tx:
Hi Condi,

I don't know how your root method works, but it's invisible for Sony Assistance :D

Some days ago a sent my tablet under warranty, today I got an sms informing me that they just sent a replacement.

Nothing about "oh, you fu**ed up the warranty, you must pay us", and that's awesome for me.

Thank you again for your awesome work.
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
:laugh: It is not like Condi tries to hide the fact that a tablet has been rooted by the use of his tools, which places an empty file named _custom_update_made_with_S.onyTablet.S_AiO_tool_by Condi_ in the tablet's /system directory. Sony obviously did not do a close inspection of your tablet. :laugh:

A good advice for you - extract first tool data, then run, from normal place/path.

dont be so lazy - no doubleclick from winrar, extract to C:\S.onyTablet...\, then run.
[Sony Tablet S] drearystate:
LOL, you say lazy. I've been attempting this for over a week now and it is extracted from winrar. I have never had any issues rooting phones before, this is my first. Even my A500 didnt give me this much of a problem. But thanks for the reply
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
dont compare A500 to sony tab, its totally different kind of story.

fw data links are working just fine. as I said - extract flasher to normal path, like c:\flasher and then try.

you could try also to run it as admin, or disable firewall/antivirus - maybe it blocks wget from downloading data.

and yeah - i say lazy when i see c:\................\temp path. i havent invented this

Hi Condi,

My tablet S is US wifi only I updated it to 4.0.3R5 from 3.2.1 by your AIO tool prerooted FW. Now, my tablet S is on 4.0.3R5 rooted. So, is it possible to update my table to R5A with rooted by your instruction in this thread?

And may i know what the different between R5 and R5A? Can R5 fix the wifi problem ( i cannot wifi at my home with R5, although the tablet show connected and got the IP but i could not access any website???) and google play problem ( i tried to use google play mod in AIO tool after i rooted my tablet, after that could not buy paid app in google play :( )

Sorry for my bad english...

Thanks,

[Sony Tablet S] Greenarcher707:
How come the flasher can't find the custom_update_signed.zip? I named it correctly and everything, and it's on the root of my external sd card.

Update: I used root explorer to copy the custom update to the actual root and ran the flasher again. It worked but now I get a status 7 error even though the recovery adb drivers were installed correctly. Man, it is frustrating.
[Sony Tablet S] sodenrox:
Few questions im sure i am missing the answers too... in the forums..

I have tablet s 3.2 stock, do i need to root first before updating?

I already have the adb drivers installed from a previous tablet (another tablet s) will i need to reinstall the adb drivers..

Also wth does chose option "3" and "4" in the AIO, i have the newest version of AIO i can find 1.4, but there isnt a "3" and "4" option...
[Sony Tablet S] sodenrox:
N/M i kinda fixed it, updated from 3.2 to 4.0.3 r5, and just rooted it from there, is it worth it to upgrade to r5a?
[Sony Tablet S] NerdiX:
APX Mode isn't Acer property, nvflash too.

After fresh reboot and "dmesg | grep androidboot.serialno" to get my cpu id, SBCalc generate a SBK, and seems to be valid.

Can we use nvflash and sony's patched bootloader :confused:

Will try to boot in APX mode and exec "nvflash --bl bootloader.img --sbk (my SBK) --sync"
[Sony Tablet S] Maine_Coon:
Condi,

It probably had been asked thousand times before, but still..

I just bought my second Tablet S on eBay, and it came w/ 4.0.3 (release 5a) already installed.

Am I SOL in terms of rooting this tablet? :crying:
[Sony Tablet S] fotoingo:
I hate ...

Hey !

I hate my Tablet S right now....

I tried a thousand ways to upgrade it but it does not work..... ARGH

I wanted to install "NEW R5A WiFi only! doubleFLASH!"

via "AiO - choose '3' & '4' - Flash signed zip, choose automatic."

I use a german Tablet S rooted (Android 4.0.3, Kernel 2.6.39.4 integ-buill@build5 #1, Build Nummer TISU0077700) but changed the region to US today.

After that I tried the method above (and many more....) but all I get is the message "Prohibit Update as a result of checking version or base sku"

I also tried to sign the update (and some other files) but it does not work either...

Does anyone have some tips for me ?

....

ARGH.

Thank you in advance !

:D

EDIT:

Never mind...

I flashed with the" flasher tool " and everything worked.

:)

On windows it is possible to write batch file that opens several programs or web pages at once, just type this on notepad and save as xyz.bat

start ""facebook" "wwwfacebookcom "

Is there something similar on android, or is there some other method to create shorcut that opens several tabs at once, it doesn't have to be

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kitten Mittens:
As a disclaimer I was on rooted stock 4.2, with 160 dpi. Restored backup of build.prop then went to install the system update (worked fine that way from 4.1.2 to 4.2), rebooted and almost instantly had the Android recovery logo with a red triangle and said error. Stuck on that screen, so I held the power button to turn it off, then when I tried to boot it up I just get the Nexus logo and it never boots. I went to bootloader tried to boot into recovery (clockwork) and it said it wasn't there or something.

What are my options?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
A couple of things. You could boot into the bootloader and use fastboot to flash a custom recovery, then flash a ROM from there. Otherwise you could download the stock 4.2.1 images from Google and use fastboot to flash back to 100% stock and start over.

Can I used the posted method by Tasssadar here:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] igotlostintampa:
Yeah, Check out the Start of the Link

The link has spaces to prevent it from being a link, put it back together and copy into url for the Forum location of this rom.

This entire, Long, thought-out, time consuming post relied on you being able to view that link, without that ability, I would not be able to post this, long, thought-out, and time-consuming post, that contained valuable information to obtain Miui on your Htc Evo 4g Lte, and to help the regular development of this rom continue, while giving a spark back to the evo that while many roms may have been tested, all felt the same, which was a little bit of a let down for you, as it was to me.

I want to quickly state that I mean no offence to the developers of all other roms for the htc evo 4g lte as I have tried them all and have some that I love, and some that I have mixed feelings for. I am simply putting this information out there so this rom also has the ability to develop as well as yours has, as I am sure even you can admit, that the Miui rom is a rom that is greatly desired for this phone. All of your roms had their different features, different mods, different mod packages, updaters, even for one, it had its own app installer, and Battery usage customization to improve battery life (venom). I am simply posting this for those out there, who have tried every rom out there, and still seek something to fall in love with.

Thank you very much for viewing this post, and I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Wow..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rippley05:
Thanks for the write up. I do miss MIUI and development has been excruciatingly slow, tho I know hard work is being put in.

I won't give up stable, fully functional roms for it right now, but I do hope it progresses into a daily before this phone becomes to outdated. I have my doubts because I hear rumblings of how difficult it is to bring MIUI to some of these phones these days, which is unfortunate.

Cheers
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] misfit0313:
Yeah, what do you want me to say. There hasn't been a stable, daily driver miui.us build for the Evo LTE, yet. I have flashed just about all of them. Posted multiple logcats. If i remember right there were a couple of us who were getting a LOS on the October builds.

Thank you for viewing my post.

I want to thank you for viewing my post, and especially for replying to it quickly. I would like to state that everything I have found other than gps (which is currently untested) and the initial (only at start) F/C that the 10/26/2012.3 version of this rom is currently fully operational, and I am using it as a daily as I to love Miui and was excited to try miui 4.1. The only Miui feature that, that specific version, of the rom is currently lacking, is the Miui Camera. Otherwise, the 10.26.2012.3 release of this rom is fully functional and to the extent of my knowledge, usable as a daily driver, as long as you are ok with the initial F/C at boot that most JB roms have been experiencing.

To download this specific version of the rom, you may find the exact download link to the 10.26.2012.3 release of it here

http:// goo .im /devs/miui/jewel

just take away the spaces. I am of course in no way attempting to force you to try the rom, this is entirely your decision of course. Simply stating that this release of the rom, to my knowledge, is stable, and working for me currently as a daily driver. I will update the OP with information in regards to GPS soon.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] igotlostintampa:
Thank you for viewing my post.

the 2.10.19 build of this rom may be currently functional, I however am one to be closer to the latest stable and functional update, which is the 10.26.2012.3 release of the rom, to my knowledge, I do not see anything wrong with this version of the rom, and the link to all downloads for this rom have been posted.

Thank you for viewing my post, and replying promptly. I did not get far enough to thoroughly test the 10.19 version of the rom, as while backtracking the 10.26 version was the one that worked correctly for me, and I have not gone backwards from there, the download link for the 10.26 version of this rom has been posted, and if you would like to see if any improvements were made since that version be my guest.

If you do so, please let me know of any changes you may notice from 10.19 to 10.26.

Thank you, and have a wonderful day. ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] igotlostintampa:
Thank you for replying to my post.

I would like to thank you for replying to my post, and I would like to state that I am currently using the 2.10.26.3 release of the originally posted rom as a daily driver, and have found no real issues with it at this time. If you have any issues that I may not have noticed I would definitely like to hear them. I haven't had anything not work for me yet, other than the general JB download speed slowdown, that is currently experienced on every rom currently supporting JB, and GPS detecting my location slower than sense (which can also be said about every other JB rom)

As of right now I am happy with the ROM and thought that I had conveyed that the rom was functional in my OP. Any information related to errors you have noticed or heard of that I may be able to test and attempt fixing personally I would greatly appreciate.

Thank you very much for the edit on your post. It was much more informative than "yeah" ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] igotlostintampa:
Important Information Removal From Miui.us Site.

I would like to inform you that my original post on the Miui.us rom's forum has been removed. I attempted in this post to convey that posting a non working version of the rom as the first clickable download link was not the right action to get people to try this rom if they wanted to and receive a good experience.

To be clear, and to re-state.

The 2.10.26.3 version of this rom from what I can see, has no errors other than ones that have already been noted as JB errors for this device. such as the initial F/C that goes away after clicking on it twice and generally does not pop back up. Slower GPS point locating which is known to be a JB error for this device, it will still locate you, just not as quickly. and a Slower overall download speed, which can also be tied to JB for this device.

As far as the rom goes, excluding the normal JB errors, the 2.10.26.3 version of this rom, from what I can tell, is fully functional, and the download link is listed in OP.

any of the November releases or 2.11.anything currently have errors that jeopardize regular phone usage. Such as a non functional browser, and a non functional Root Access Manager (Which is like SuperSU and Super user, but MiUi specific, also not the exact name)

I am simply making sure that this information is conveyed, as this IMHO is the latest, daily, usable, stable, functional, version of this rom.

Thank you again, and I apologize for having to make my point, so many times.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rubyknight:
Fyi, you can open the permissions manager and manually give apps root access. It's just the initial request for root that will break it. It's in the tools folder in the launcher. As well, someone posted instructions for remapping the menu key on both the miui.us thread and we figured it out on the other miui thread on here.
