Hello guys! :)

First of all, great stuff here, both AutoFlasher and AiO tool. Im completely new owner of Tablet S WiFi version, but old modder so i pretty much know what im doing.

Now, as i said, im Tab S WiFi owner and did AutoFlasher update from r1a to r5a. AutoFlasher naturally downloaded both Rom and "hidden.img" and process was undergoing well. I choosed to flash "last possible rootable hidden.img" (forgot correct number).

Everything was done well, i got my root, SD mount, permissions, everything.. except rom that was downloaded by AutoFlasher was for WiFi/3G version of Tab S, but i have just WiFi version.

Did i do anything wrong? I only choosed to update hidden.img to last possible rootable, everything else is done auto, so where did i do error?

Is there any way to fix this without reflashing it, or do i need to do it manually by creating custom firmware via AiO?

My current sys info:

Model Number - GT - p7500 (done Galaxy TAB hax) (original is Sony Tablet S)
Android Version - 4.0.3 (release5a)
Baseband Version - unknown (naturally, since its not 3G)
Kernel version - 2.6.39.4 integ-build@build9#1
Build number - TISU0163410
[Sony Tablet S] doomed151:
Heh, it didn't break anything though. More like, nothing changed at all.
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
No, you did not do anything wrong. Condi's S.onyTablet.S [FLASHER] v1.0 and v1.1 use firmware images based on 4.0.3r5a Poland WiFi+3G. Having WiFi+3G firmware on a WiFi Only tablet will not cause the tablet any problems; however, like you, I would prefer to have a WiFi Only firmware instead. Condi recently said he is "trying now to add next firmwares." I believe (with fingers crossed) Condi is working on adding US WiFi Only firmware. We will just have to wait to see what he does.
[Sony Tablet S] blackadder666:
My tablet is rooted with release5, so used the flasher tool to (hopefully) replace it with release 5a.

It went through all the processes but remains on release5

Have I got it wrong to assume it will update to 5a using this method? Any help appreciated
[Sony Tablet S] maxiii:
Thanks bro for this tool,, hope you add option to go back to honeycomb soon.
[Sony Tablet S] samkatta:
Can I use Flasher tool to flash any firmware or I have to use the ones listed within the tool itself?
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
You have to use the ones listed in the tool. The tool downloads the firmware files from Condi's online storage location during its process.
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
If you need it guys, then no problemo, i'm gonna add it to next ver :)
[Sony Tablet S] samkatta:
Thank you very much condi for your hard work.

Waiting for a Tablet P with 3G R5a Firmware pre-rooted.

Thank you again and happy holidays.
[Sony Tablet S] mehdi.xterra:
dear condi thanks again for your works, i flashed firmware with your tool but nothing changed!!!
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
check if you have enough space on internal storage (~1gb+)
[Sony Tablet S] mehdi.xterra:
i have 8.4 GB free space on internal storage, i think downloaded file is damaged because just dataapp.zip can open and 2 other file cant open and in flasher tool say cant open zip!!! i dont why!!!
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
most probably you are right. you have uncomplete zips.

delete _firmwares directory, and run flasher again - it will redownload fw data.

------edit

PS. i've implemented size checks for downloaded data :) so in next ver - no worries about that :)
[Sony Tablet S] mehdi.xterra:
dear condi thanks,thanks,thanks!!! i download required files manually with IDM software and move to flasher tool folder and start flashing process and my tab update to r5a and rooted!!! realy thanks but i have idea because i test 4 times with auto download required files with flasher tool but every time files damaged, my idea is:

I think it is better if you can download the required files individually. Because the fluctuations during the download connection may not download correctly.
[Sony Tablet S] Bojanglez:
I was stuck on standard 4.0.3 due to a conflict with my builprop/region during the update process. I have just flashed using this and now I have 4.0.3. (release5a) so I assume that this has cleared eveything up with a fresh image?

Thanks for your hard work condi, I will be donating some beer money :good:
[Sony Tablet S] LexxLol:
Condi, I think I found a weird bug.

I tried the flasher, the download clompeted, the the flasher stopped with the message "waiting for device".

So I tried the latest AiO5.3, also to no efford.

The AiO stopped, even at simple tasks like "run adb shell".

So I looked in the files/ folder of both tools and found, that the adb.exe located there is way smaller (159 vs. 796kb) than the last one delivered with android sdk.

After replacing your adb.exe with the one in the sdk, shell is possible in AiO, and now the flasher is pushing data.

Perhaps an update of the basic tools like adb could be useful for other to?
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
you've got instable connection i think ;) but im glad that you've flashed it successfuly :)

next ver will check if the data is correct, so it should be no problem any more :)

yes you are right, i had adb versions problems, i thought about it also.

got updated adb in next ver :)

thx for the info :) !

im glad :) enjoy tab! about clear everything - /data parition is not modified in any way, so your installed apps should be still there.

of course wipe is recommended after flash. thx for the beer! will drink for your health :D

I'm working now on next ver, gonna add some additional fw's.

condi
[Sony Tablet S] samkatta:
Please don't forget Tablet P firmware with 3G and correct recovery (R5a and pre-rooted if possible).

Waiting patiently for your great work.
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
r5a wifi-only for S done; next will be P :); then two r1a's.

P done - uploading; flashed it on my S lol :D
[Sony Tablet S] samkatta:
You are a gem. Can't wait for your release.

By the way, did it affect your recovery by any way or you flashed only the system part of the P firmware?
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
only sys :) i've got circle as cursor when moving on touchscreen, and got some 'glitches' on booting animation :) everything else looks normal :D

----edit

last testing... with Xperia Tab :) keep fingers crossed !

----edit

v2.0 released !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just pushing final fw for Xperia..
[Sony Tablet S] sciux:
a link for v2 would be amazing mate :), cant wait to upgrade my tablet p
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
DONE :)

sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. goodnight!
[Sony Tablet S] zorbakun:
Great Condi, You are a legend :)

I have Xperia Tablet S with rooted FW 6a, so I can use your tool to upgrade to rooted FW 6B?!
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Yup. Normally would be from 6 as 6a not root able? You used incremental etc to get 6a root?
[Sony Tablet S] xperia_pro:
thanks

thanks condi! you are my hero!!!!!!!!!! <3

hahaha
[Sony Tablet S] samkatta:
I tried the flasher with Tablet P, it downloaded the files and pushed data and supposedly flashed and when asked to replace hidde.img with stock one I answered yes but after restart I'm still on R1a with broken recovery.

So what would have went wrong here?
[Sony Tablet S] zorbakun:
Yes I used Incremental update to get 6a root. So it's safe to use your tool to update to 6B? will that affect or be affected by stock recovery?
[Sony Tablet S] reptile64:
You are our saviour!!!!!!! :D

Too bad my Xperia Tab is going to France for repair... :(
[Sony Tablet S] chilidoguk:
Vendor Apps

Hi Condi, just flashed with v2.0 and the vendor apps have disappeared!!!
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
So symllinks/retouch_binaries is still not working.... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr yesterday i was fighting with this to 03:30am..

have to fix this!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

taking down Xperia Tab fw files for short time, have to fix it.
[Sony Tablet S] civilization:
can i install whatsapp?
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
ok guys, got v2.1 with recreated Xperia fw.

the problem appeared - dropbox error 509 - daily bandwidth limit.

i must consider switch to other sharing service.

up till now we've got:

dropbox - daily limit.

google drive - no direct links for big files.

any suggestions for free service without bandwidth limit & direct links?
[Sony Tablet S] eric1214:
box? ?? or use basic ftp?

if can dl at pc, then put in to sd card , u can choose the BT, too many ppl will be the seed is too many fast

and the file is how large???
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
~250-300mb. box.com got direct links but only on paid accounts.
[Sony Tablet S] mehdi.xterra:
dear condi i think if you upload required files to xda file server and users download manually and move to flasher folder is good, or use another cloud servrice like box.net
[Sony Tablet S] chilidoguk:
fileden dot com (cant post links) has 1gb personal storage, 100mb max filesize and 5gb monthlu allowance. allows hotlinking.

never tried it though
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
May not be of much help, but take a look at Wikipedia article Comparison of online backup services.

And thank you for all your hard work. I wish your PayPal account would allow donation from the US. If there is another way, let me know.
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
thank you for the info, got to check them and find something stable :)

about paypal - got no idea why it does not allow donations from US ;/
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
I found the problem.

I was looking for United States when I should have been looking for Stany Zjednoczone!

Confirmation number: 7NF47654679400208.

Again, thank you for all you have done.
[Sony Tablet S] eric1214:
dl 2.1 but still is 509...... if i open the ftp for dl is ok?? my broadband is 200mb fiber only, and my is hong kong, can solves the problem??
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
Wait, does this mean I can root with Release5a on my Sony Tablet S? :D

Dear condi

Merry Christmas to you and your family and Merry Christmas to all of xda members.

Please whenever you have time I need your help.

Flasher Tool is not working with Tablet P, it goes through all the steps but no flashing is done (I'm still on the same firmware with the broken recovery)

By the way, it will push data, decompress and inflate the files only when there is an external sd card is inserted, if I remove the external sd it gives the error "no such file or directory" so I don't know if this is related to the internal sd structure of the Tablet P (is it different than Tablet S).

I've did rooting again with AiO tool and used the hack "enable write permissions to sd" but still same results with Flasher Tool.

I would appreciate your reply and help as soon as you get the time to.

Thank you again and Happy Holidays.
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
thank you very much :) check your email :laugh: :cool:

I'm uploading fw data to new online storage. Will test it after full upload, and release new version with replaced download links, or maybe a auto-switching mirror :)

Thank you and merry christmas to you :) I have to recheck mount points/devices on P tab, and we will figure it out.

Tell me - after flashing finished and reboot - there was a "3 dots upgrade screen"?

Ho Ho Ho.. Merry Christmas to all of you guys ! :)
[Sony Tablet S] samkatta:
No it just reboots as normal with the default boot animation.

By the way, when the Tablet P is connected to pc the internal sd directory is not shown only the ext sd is shown. Also Tablet P internal storage is shown 2GB only.

Files transfer and decompression with Flasher Tool only proceeds when there is an ext sd inserted and it all takes place on this ext sd not on the internal storage of Tablet P.

I hope that you can find a solution to that problem.
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
insert external sd, run adb shell and give me result of:

[Sony Tablet S] noriya:
hi condi,the speed download is just 1kb....can i manually download from dropbox and put it in firmware folder?
[Sony Tablet S] chilidoguk:
Condi, tried 2.1 flasher tool again (downloads are working again) and after it downloads the firmware it seems ive lost root after the initial 2.1 flash and the loss of vendor apps. do you know where i can get the official ota 6 flash to try and get my vendor apps back, the incrementals fail due to vendor apps not being available on my recovery partition.
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
I have offical OTA R6. Which one do you need?
[Sony Tablet S] chilidoguk:
Hi Stfilz,

[Sony Tablet S] chilidoguk:
thanks Stifilz
[Sony Tablet S] gorunn:
Thx man and sorry for late reply, im piled up with work so i have no time to browse as much as i want to and get to know my Tab a bit better. Truth to be told, i just managed to flash him and install few basic apps that i use, i havent had time to play with it, so its pretty much collecting dust now. -_-'

I figured as much and i built custom FW upgrade via AiO 5.3 and i have managed to flash it to WiFi version.

No, at any point dont do OTA update at the moment or you will not be able to Root/Exploit recovery.

Now, i have one question.. By browsing some other tabs (for instance Galaxy Tab 10.1) I see far much more custom roms for far older device, they even got Jelly build now. Being that both tabs use same structure (tegra2) what is the difference between those two? Why arent we able to build roms like that?

Looking at my PS3/Vita and ways to crack it, i noticed that sony did some nasty protection that can render your device literally unusable if you are not careful. Now they prolly did same thing to Tab S/its boot image so we cant mess with it much. But.. thats only my shoot in the blank, if someone can explain me a bit, i would really like to know a bit more. :)

Thx in advance.
[Sony Tablet S] chocobozero:
I have the same problem, the flasher did everything except flash....:p

I have a AT&T Tablet P. Please provide a solution. Thank you for the hard work.
[Sony Tablet S] riccardo91:
It's stuck on flashing datapp... What should I do??

EDIT: how should be internal free space??
[Sony Tablet S] slinder154:
Same here.

better to have ~1.5gb+

v2.2 up :)

still dont have feedback on Xperia Tab with new version!

i need to know if its ok, or if i need to modify flasher!

[Sony Tablet S] condi:
ok then its solved :D br :)
[Sony Tablet S] chilidoguk:
Condi, ive lost root with the v2.1 of the flasher on my xperia. ive also lost all the vendor apps. i guess without root i cant flash with v2.2
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Should be on R6 then??? Try the factory reset.... You can root again using AiO easy.

Stifilz
[Sony Tablet S] chilidoguk:
Stifilz, tried it already, hangs after restore.
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Can you tell me.... Settings > About Tablet > Android Version

If it is R6 you should be ok.

R6a or R6b can not root at the moment.

Not sure how it would have updated...
[Sony Tablet S] chilidoguk:
6b. tried flashing with a flat 6 and it failed because the vendor0 folder is missing
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Then you are out of luck. 6b is not rootable (only pre-root etc). Have you tried to install zip from recovery i.e. R6?

Stifilz
[Sony Tablet S] chilidoguk:
an over the air flash on SD Card? if so yes.
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Oh sorry, that is what you meant. Not sure how we can help then. If you don't have root and can't root then you can't change (missing) vendor.

Can you try to install from recovery again and then use adb pull /tmp/recovery.log so we can see the exact error you are getting.

It is a long shot, but worth it. :)

AT&T Table P update success!!

WOW~ It works!!!

I successfully update my AT&T Sony Table P (SGPT211US) through flasher v2.2

Lost my recovery tho.... now it's rev.36, I guess I can't use ADB shell...but still happy.

Thank you sooooo much for this wonderful tool!
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Glad to hear. But flashing the recovery is optional!??

Edit: Sorry seems that is only available for Tablet S

[Sony Tablet S] samtruman:
Hi I use flasher to upgrade xperia tab s from r3 to r6b, I decide to not upgrade hidden.img and when i reboot I discovered I lost some vendor app (ir remote walkman music). Maybe i have to update also hidden? Or i have to factory reset?

if i factory reset i will lost root?
[Sony Tablet S] samtruman:
I try to factory reset but nothing, no oem apps, maybe it depends on hidden part of firmware..
[Sony Tablet S] chocobozero:
Well, the flasher did ask me if I wanna flash recovery from this stock rom...

and I accidentally choose [1] .... [YES]

I think I could keep my old recovery if I choose [0]....which is rev.10

Anyway, AT&T never release an ICS update, so I am glad that I am able to have my table P update to ICS. :good:

So far it works like a charm. :laugh:

Thanks again!

[Sony Tablet S] dmahon:
Tried again with the latest version - all the updated firmware links for R5A wifi only were broken, so no downloads. Tried them in a browser, all 3 said files no longer existed. I pulled the old links (which still worked fine) from the previous release and manually downloaded the files.

The flasher worked like it normally does, did it's thing, and this time @ reboot it again said it was upgrading something, so I was excited that maybe it had finally worked. Once it was done, though, I was still on the same firmware as before. It looks like all it upgraded was switching me back to the correct region or something, maybe, now that the wifi-only version is available? The OTA update to R5A now shows up as available again, and the 'unlimited" apps came back. Other than that, everything else is the same.

So I don't know what's going on - I don't think there's anything wrong with the flasher, I don't think I'm doing anything wrong, but for some reason it just doesn't work for my tablet. It's clearly talking to it, doing something, making some changes, but those just don't include updating the firmware.

I'd love to hear any suggestions at this point?

I need stock att tablet p wifi/3g 3.2.1 honeycomb firmware

Hello condi,

I used the flasher tool to try and update my US att 3g tablet p to ICS. I was on stock version 3.2.1. I was already rooted so when I ran the flasher tool everything looked ok until I rebooted. I was soft bricked and had rbg color lines all over my screen after I rebooted. I found a link with US 3.2 firmware and downloaded and flashed from my sd card with stock recovery. I was able to boot up now, but now I have lost root and cant flash anything with the flasher tool. i did some research and found that the 3.2 firmware is not rootable? is this correct? so i was asking if you knew where i could download stock AT&T HC 3.2.1 so I can root with the all in one tool and update to 4.0.3 with your flasher tool? I can only flash through stock recovery right now since i cant root so if you know how i can get back to 3.2.1 so I can root and start over please let me know. I tried the url finder tool and it didn't find any firmware for me. i also checked on the xda firmware list and all of the links to 3.2.1 have been removed. I have also tried to do an OTA to 3.2.1 update on the tablet p through settings and it doesn't find anything. Any help you can give would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
You will be very lucky to find the 3.2.1 for US tab P. You wen the wrong way about it. You should have changed region to a different one using AiO then flashed a ICS r1a for example that is rootable.

But the damage is done now, I suggest you find members with US tab P and pleed for the file. It is very hard to find :(

If you do find please share the link, I will then also upload so we have a few copies available :D

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news

Stifilz

P.S It probably failed due to being flashed from such an old fw
[Sony Tablet S] xperia_pro:
PERFECT! Thanks condi :D
[Sony Tablet S] supergadgetman:
Well that stinks. Thanks for the reply though. I tried to change region with 3.2, but of course its too late now since everything you do requires root and of course I cant root anymore. So I am pleading with any US 3G tab P owners that can upload a 3.2.1 Honeycomb firmware. Not sure if there are any reading this thread, but its worth a shot. Here is the error I get when I try to root the older 3.2
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
could you please contact me via PM, i think i found a way to solve oem apps problem :) :) :)

the best way would be teamviewer session.

So Xperia Tab users - just wait few more days :)

btw as far as SugarSync is concerned - it looks like its not perfect :silly: I will add mirror switching in next flasher ver.,

there will be both - SS and Dropbox.

My story is exactly the same...about 5 full wipes, new versions of flasher, new downloads....still at release1a
