[Sony Tablet S] vonManstein:
Hi guys,

I let my tablet (on 4.0.3 R5a rooted), run out of battery overnight yesterday. This morning, whilst trying to start it (after fully charging), would only show the boot animation, and would never boot into the OS.

I've wiped and tried rebooting, but still stuck in boot animation.

Here's the build.prop:

ro.sony.sku.version=27550136_11
ro.camera.sound.forced=0
ro.product.locale.language=pt
ro.product.locale.region=PT

And here's the recovery.log:

I then tried to flash the Portugal official firmware, but it wouldn't work. I then discovered I have my region set to Poland,so I tried flashing the Polish official firmware (signed-nbx03_015-ota-120804000.zip), however it gave me the following error Fail to symlink /datapp/vendor/vendor1 to /tmp/prev_vendor: File exists

Going to try to flash signed-nbx03_016-ota-120803071.zip (Polish, but 3G and Wifi).

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
