[Sony Tablet S] scorpio_77:
I'm at this moment flashing my sony tablet s, but I'm not sure which is the correct option. Can someone help me please?
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
You are installing 4.0.3r5a, so:

Choice 1 will install Android System Recovery (Rev.36).

This is the version of recovery that comes with 4.0.3r5a. This version disables rooting via recovery mode,

Choice 2 will install Android System Recovery (Rev.30) from 4.0.3r1a.

This may or may not work depending on the existing version of Android installed, but is my recommended choice.

Choice 3 will not install either; instead, it will leave the exisiting Android System Recovery installed.

Not recommended if existing recovery is Android System Recovery (Rev.7) or (Rev.10).
[Sony Tablet S] scorpio_77:
Thank you! option 2 and the upgrade was successful!
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
I am curious. Which Android System Recovery installed?
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
As far as i remember r1a had rev.30, and r5a had rev.36? :)
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
You are correct, I am with error. I will edit and correct my post.
[Sony Tablet S] scorpio_77:
Before this update I was on rooted ics r1a, done with the condi's aio tool.
[Sony Tablet S] dmahon:
Do you notice anything unusual during the process? We're obviously in a minority of people who this doesn't work for, but I haven't been able to identify any specific factors that would cause the difference... I know if I tell it to update the recovery image, it takes about half a second and then says it's done (which maybe suggests to me that the tablet is blocking the firmware writes somehow, but the flasher tool thinks they're working?)

You're on R1A and it doesn't work, I have R5, so it's probably not the firmware version and how we got it (which I was a bit worried about)

How did you root your device? AiO, or the other root trick?
[Sony Tablet S] Danzdroid:
I rooted with the BinAry script here

There doesn't seem to be anything strange in my execution of the script. Everything appears to work, no suspicious behavior. Other than the stock Media Remote icon disappearing from the bottom center quick launch area, everything seems to be the same -- just stuck at "release1a"

I wonder if anything I froze with Titanium Backup may have interfered?
[Sony Tablet S] cezarL:
Last week, I reported serious issues when upgrading from R5 to R5A (missing lockscreen, non-functional home button, problems with apps).

I did try wiping and flashing again with Condi's tool, no change.

My R5 was rooted with Bin4ry's script, too. I don't use Titanium backup, so I don't think that has anything to do with it.

I did have problems with TB on phones when switching ROMs, though. Now I avoid it altogether.

Maybe the problems were caused by missing stock apps? I had removed all the Sony crap when I was on R5.

But now I think I finally solved it:

1. I let the OTA updater download the official R5A (it's saved on the /cache partition), but I DID NOT flash it when the download completed

2. meanwhile, I downloaded R1A firmware on a PC, then transferred it to the tablet

3. I renamed R1A fw to match R5A and overwrote the original file downloaded on /cache by the OTA updater

4. flashed it using the OTA updater (it looks like it didn't detect the fact that I changed the file)

5. after flashing, you get an error message ("failed to update software", or something like that) but other than that everything was fine, I was back on R1A. I also performed a wipe after flashing (from the Settings menu, not recovery)

6. rooted with AIO, installed backdoor and enabled write permissions to SD card

7. flashed R5A using Condi's tool (v 2.2), skipped the recovery image flashing, I'm already on rev .36

8. another wipe after flashing from the Settings menu

Now everything looks fine: I have all the apps (or, at least, I think I do) and they work as expected. In Settings - About tablet, the version is listed now as 4.0.3 release 5a (it used to say release 5 before).

Sooo... if you guys don't mind going through the pain of reinstalling all downloaded apps by hand, you might as well try the above.

Hope this helps!
[Sony Tablet S] vdanh:
Hi Condi,

The SugarSync link dead, the FASHER cannot download the requirement fikes :(

Could you please fix the Sugar link?

Also repost my concern

And which tool is better between this FASHER tool and the "

[FW R5A WIFI/3G] NEW! custom preROOTed newest stock nbx03 R5A with R1A's recovery!"

Sorry for my bad english...

Thanks
[Sony Tablet S] dmahon:
This is interesting - I was wondering if the Bin4ry root script may be the culprit here. I'm willing to give this a shot and see what happens...
[Sony Tablet S] danny3202:
wonder if those of us who updated to the no rootable fw could use this to get back to a rootable fw?
[Sony Tablet S] dmahon:
I can't say for sure, but access to the /cache folder may be available for root only? Wouldn't take long to prove or disprove that on a non-rooted tablet, I guess.
[Sony Tablet S] danny3202:
i tried and failed
[Sony Tablet S] dmahon:
So did I - I was able to download the update and replace it as cezarL described, and the tablet goes through the update process, completes, and reboots. It does tell me "failed to update software," but in my case it's actually correct, and I'm still on R5 unable to update.

I did remove some stock apps, but I can't believe that condi's flasher is depending on Crash Bandicoot being intact to work, so unless someone can prove otherwise I don't think that's the reason for the failures.

My money is still on Bin4ry's root script for now - has anyone who rooted using it been able to successfully run condi's flasher?
[Sony Tablet S] blackadder666:
I'm in the same situation as you. I used the Bin4ry's script and now stuck on r5. The process appears to go through successfully but fails to upgrade to r5a
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
hi,

run now teamviewer on pc, PM me your id and pass and we will figure it out :)

condi

btw sugarsync public links has been (2nd time) disabled for 48hrs.

this is why.

------ v2.3 released
[Sony Tablet S] doomed151:
I think I found what might be causing my attemps ended up doing nothing. Line 293:

files\adb shell "/system1/bin/su -c '/data/local/tmp/busybox dd if=/mnt/sdcard/aio_flash/system.img of=%sysblk%'" > NUL 2>&1

I use SuperSU and I think the su binary is in /xbin instead of /bin.
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
got fix ready, testing with other device now :)...

it should work now :) please test it !

v2.4 up :D
[Sony Tablet S] dmahon:
Everything looks great so far - thanks again condi for all the work!

Absolutely required a wipe after the update (most system apps unavailable), but after that everything came up and looks good.
[Sony Tablet S] rydo88:
Everything went fine for my Xperia Tab, except all vendor apps are gone (Walkman, Movies, Album, etc.) I saw earlier in the thread someone mentioned that this had happened, but no fix was available. The apps in appdata/vendor don't work, they just fc. I've tried manually moving them to apps, but crashes just the same. Anyone else run across this recently? Also if anyone can pull the apk for any of them (especially remote) that are working, I'll give them a go.
[Sony Tablet S] eric1214:
Happy New year man

@Condi, big thanks for the great work. Just flashed my wifi only Tablet S worked perfectly and couldn't be simpler!
[Sony Tablet S] Vinny1967:
Hi Condi,

Finally got around to giving this another go.I clicked on the bat file and selected 2 but it does nothing.Just sits there.Last time I tried,it failed,but that was with 1.1.Everything is set up right regarding adb etc.What am I missing ?

Cheers

Vinny
[Sony Tablet S] Danzdroid:
Same success here. Ran 2.4 script after full factory reset, everything came up clean the first time. I now have "Guest Mode" so my tablet can also be the coffee table remote for the home media system, without giving everyone access to my email :)

Thanks, Condi!
[Sony Tablet S] jamminjon82:
Would this possibly work in flashing cyanogen mod or just official Sony updates

I just tried the 2.4 first time I use this but when I run the .bat file then type 2 then Enter, It crashed but there is a line that gets displayed very fast before it crashes.

I hope you can help me
[HTC One X] ilikegoogles:
Hi all,

Hopefully someone can help. So I am stuck on the bootloop screen on CM10. I have searched and researched but so far to no avail.

Here's what I have so far:

My One X is the international version and I have unlocked the bootloader and rooted.

Instead of doing the usual route of downloading a rom on my PC, I tried it through the phone via an app on play called CM downlander.

I then attempted to install from SD as usual.

I am unable to mount the phone/sd via clockwork as the pc seems to not see the phone.

I have looked all over the web and the only thing I can find is something called android debugging bridge? This looks like it could be helpful.

Although I am a complete android geek, I am relatively new to custom android, I have run CM successfully on a GSII but that is it so if anyone can help, please could you do it newbie friendly? Thanks!
[HTC One X] mihirengg19:
u have not flashed the kernel it seems.to mount sdcard,try rebooting recovery and then mount sdcard. just now this happened 2 me.

[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Which recovery do you have ? Is it cwm 5.8.4.0 ? If not ..... upgrade the recovery, it has the option to mount sd card as USB diskdrive.....and second, i doubt that you flashed the boot.img with fastboot commands ? It's needed because we can not flash complete roms with recovery because we are s-on ! You have to flash the kernel separately
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
First of all, download the cm10 zip from official source: get.cm/?device=endeavoru

Do you get an error if you try to mount in cwm?

[HTC One X] ilikegoogles:
Hi guys, thanks for your replies earlier. In response:

I have downloaded a copy of cm10 on my pc. Unfortunately TToivanen I am unable to mount in cwm. I'm using 5.8.2.7.

I am almost certain you guys are correct, I vaguely remember flashing the kernel for my old GSII but didn't touch the kernel this time.

Now....how the hell do I do get out of this one!?

By the way, forgot to add. when I boot up I just get stuck in cm bootloop.
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Easy fix: download latest cwm here:

http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img

Then flash it in fastboot.

fastboot flash recovery filename.img

Then mounting usb should work.

And don't forget to extract the boot.img and flash it as well.

Ok, just researching fastboot for windows now...
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Alright, dl these fastboot files:

http://www.mediafire.com/?q2540u4g3v6qqd7

Extract and put the recovery img I linked in the fastboot folder.

Then hold shift and right click anywhere in that folder and select open command prompt here.

Hold power and volumedown to get to fastboot modeand connect usb cable to pc, on phone screen you should see fastboot usb.

Then execute the command I posted while ago.

Finally, on your phone menu, select hboot -> recovery.

Usb mounting should work now.

Flash rom and proceed to next step.

Installing kernel:

Extract boot.img from the rom.zip to the fastboot folder.

Open fastboot command prompt as described earlier and type

fastboot flash boot boot.img

followed by

fastboot erase cache

I'm going to re-follow TToivanen's advice now and post the error message I am getting. Will post in a few minutes.
[HTC One X] ilikegoogles:
Ok, so I downloaded fast boot and the clockwork recovery file. Extracted fastboot and copied clockwork into it. Opened a command screen from fastboot, then entered the fastboot screen on my phone and attached usb.

This is where I think I am getting stuck/going wrong, I pasted fastboot flash recovery filename.img into the and screen and get the following:

C:\Users\Simon\Downloads\Fastboot>fastboot flash recovery filename.img

error: cannot load 'filename.img'

C:\Users\Simon\Downloads\Fastboot>
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Download this. And paste to fastboot folder.

The file name in this case is: recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img :D

Or you can change the name to whatever easier to type.

I'm going to check that all is in the correct folder. I'm pretty sure it is though.
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Try to type the command almost entirely: fastboot flash recovery recov

Then press TAB, it should be auto-corrected.

Hi, Simon!

Since you were having java problems before, I thought you should check environment variables. The setting is available at control panel -> system and security -> system -> advanced settings (left) -> system variables. Click add, set name to CLASSPATH and the value to where ever you installed your jdk. Hoping that this will solve the "unknown error" :good:
