Any help pls ?

Great scott, it worked! So elegant root and wayyyyy sooner than I expected!

To the fokls having problems; I found out, that adb.exe in motochopper.zip did not want to play together with my Xperia. So I deleted it, killed adb.exe and copied latest adb.exe from android sdk to motochopper directory. Blam, no problems and I have root.

You may also manualy debug (and even root) by starting cmd.exe and calling commands manually, ie.

C:\>adb devices

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

List of devices attached

XXXXX device

If this don't show you device, you have no changes to root. If your device shows up, there should be no problems. If you devices is not showing, kill all adb.exe processes and use adb.exe from latest android sdk. Then you can even root manually and see waht step does what:

adb push pwn /data/local/tmp/pwn

adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/pwn

adb push su /data/local/tmp/su

adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox

adb install Superuser.apk

adb shell /data/local/tmp/pwn

adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/pwn

adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/su

adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/busybox

And then manually reboot. Run each command manually one per one, do not copy paste every command as batch. This will teach you a lot :) But .bat should work.

Kudos to authors of motochopper!

If you under windows 8

1st :

From the Metro Start Screen, open Settings,

Click "Change PC Settings".

Click "General".

Scroll down, and click "Restart now" under "Advanced startup".

Click "Troubleshoot".

Click "Advanced Options".

Click "Startup Settings".

Click [Restart].

Choose "Disable driver signature enforcement" (Usually #7)

2nd

Install device drivers either through the automated (not manualy use the : Install ADB Drivers.exe)

http://www.mediafire.com/?msn16sd5wrb1sdh

3rd

Run as administrator run.bat from motochopper

Normally this should work
[Sony Tablet S] vatis24:
Thank you very much for your replies mates.

Worked perfectly.

What i did :

Disabled the Disable driver signature enforcement as jimbxl said ,

installed the Sony tablet ADB driver.

Copy from inside the folder of Sony tablet ADB the adb.exe and the .dll (2 files ) and paste it to motochopper folder.

Cheers all

[Sony Tablet S] xxliftsupxx:
I am pleased to hear that some will thus helped to cope better with the tablet;) and seize power of the tablet itself;)

The idea was to look for a way to 4.1.1. and the same kernel is used - obvious was the Asus Transformer which has the same basis - that means the same leak or possibility as the Sony - Thanks to Google, I came across Moto Chopper looked at the scripts and this then immediately tried & was amazed himself the it was so easy - just 1min later I posted it here so that all of them have;) why they call it community, too;)

Of course, the circumstances are different for everyone as it can cause conflicts with the drivers or ADB - but nice to read that you are still here to help settings - so that each tablet can be safely rooten.

Now you can integrate this option in the "allinone tool";)

ok i downloaded the files but where is the launcher located? and widgets?

Thank you for your help
[Sony Tablet S] Ubichinon:
Mobile Bravia Engine 2 i guess.
[Sony Tablet S] SWFlyerUK:
They are all inside the system/app folders - Home.apk is the launcher.
[Sony Tablet S] vatis24:
You will find the home launcher in the apps in the files you exteacted. The name is home.apk, use the root explorer change permissions and move the home.apk to system/apps, then click on it and install it working like a charm,

SWFlyer one question mate, you managed to make the themes to work with the new home launcher, mine force closing, but I move the wallpapers and I can use the standard from home customazation.

Also please tell me how to import the z keyboard?

Please advice

Can you theme switch or can you theme select?

For me, the launcher is constantly stopped when I want to select this Page ... what does it need to? Framework?

unfortunetly xperia home is crashing when i want to change themes, and impossible to add widgets too
[Sony Tablet S] vatis24:
Hey Jim, yes everything working exept themes.

As for widgets is possible, old ones working also new for z you have to push to system\apps and install them seperatly

We believe is due frameworks
[Sony Tablet S] jimibxl:
that's too complicate for me :p i am too lazy to do that. Xperia home launcher is very cool anyway

Yeah win8 is a prick for drivers, i ended up creating a small bat file (as you can also disable/enable from cmd) see attached. I got sick of doing this all the time though so I went back to Win7. Anyway to use the attached file:

Disable

1.Right click and run as admin (or it will not run)

2.Type '1' and press enter to disable

3.Type '3' and press enter to restart

4.Look for 'Test Mode' bottom right of desktop

Enable

1.Right click and run as admin (or it will not run)

2.Type '2' and press enter to enable

3.Type '3' and press enter to restart

4.Look for NO 'Test Mode' bottom right of desktop

Hope this helped, good luck

so i would recommend to any one with root to use the a.i.o tool to install the rescue back door and turn off system notifications and do what ever the tool worksive used it safely no problems

i would say do it as its the only protection against bricked devices it gives us the ablity to flasher a current safe firmware

:p:p:p:p:p:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
[Sony Tablet S] reptile64:
Brick the device?? Anyway.. I can't understand what are you trying to say.. sorry :p :silly: :p
[Sony Tablet S] dex9mm:
So im saying that to be able to flash back to a working state you should use condis AIO tool to enable rescue backdoor so if anyone with root decides to do some tweaking and gets stuck in a bootloop

if your incremental value (the number on the software)is the same as the clean firmware then it will not install package over the the courpt one

and thus you have a soft brick

anyone tried this apk? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.janis605.softkeyz
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
This exploit accesses the Tegra 3 and Quadcomm Snapdragon chipsets only.

Tried on the S1 and it froze due to a resource exhaustion.

Basically it was probably too much for Tegra 2 to handle.

I did modify the script but that did not help what so ever.
[Sony Tablet S] jappaj:
Doe AiO work properly with JB? Have you tried ie. boot loop protection? I read scripts through and found lots of version checks etc. for ICS... Condi we need you to update everything :)
[Sony Tablet S] dex9mm:
Hey no I have not tried to flash to jb or back to ics I used the AIO tool not the flasher and not to root

But section four of the AIO tool tweaks and mods.

I installed the "rescue backdoor" tweak and after reboot got a system notifcation for an update so im assume that it has worked and lowered the incremtal value so that it will take a offical f/w

I then used another option 3 to turn off the system notification which also worked

Then used the option 4 to install init.d support

So far no problem
[Sony Tablet S] mishuseby:
I rooted my Xperia Tablet S running the RUN.BAT from Motochopper folder. Now my XTS is rooted. I try with AIO tool to install the "rescue backdoor" but it's not working. See the attached photo. Also checked with ROOT CHECK (Check result: Root access available :)

su available: yes // BusyBox available: yes // BusyBox version: v1.17.1)
[Sony Tablet S] jimibxl:
worked perfect here i install "rescue backdoor" without problem
[Sony Tablet S] mishuseby:
Why AIO don't find the su binary? Superuser works fine.
[Sony Tablet S] xxliftsupxx:
If you install backdoor - you look then to allow access on tablet;)

Upgrade to the latest busybox 1.17>1.21 see if that helps also make sure su application is give the right permission

[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
a brick is useless heck the name bricked device

whoever posted this thread on sony america forums perhaps should add warning that its not without risks one guy bricked he's tablet probably forgetting to change file properties properly after swaping a file ended up with reboot loop with no way to recover.
[Sony Tablet S] sanitys:
just so everyone knows it also roots xperia tablet S running r6b. So everyone that lost root can get it back even if they do not wish to move to JB
[Sony Tablet S] Zer0K3wL:
so did it always work before also not get discovered untill now or ?
[Sony Tablet S] sanitys:
i just seen the OP's post today and tried it..If this exploit has been around awhile then yes we all could have rooted whenever this exploit became available. I ran OTA to get JB. Re-ran the exploit. Rooted JB. No issues using AIO tool tweaks (option 4) except don't run the wifi ad-hoc mode one or your WIFI will stop working. If anyone happened to do this you will need to replace the wpa_supplicant file in /system/bin with the backed up one in the AIO backup directory. The ICS ones (last too options) fail due to non ICS
[Sony Tablet S] sanitys:
at this point you could probably update to latest OTA or choose ICS and use the exploit provided by the OP and have a rooted xperia t s. Were any gen1 s tab users successful? Id still recommend doing the root on current version and install back door from AIO then do OTA and re-root...Im sure if we wait for condi to get back from honey moon and all that he will update his tool, or someone else could mod it to include this exploit. I haven't tested it on all releases but it could simplify his menu and the flasher leaving the tweaks and what not.
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
Check if the su binary if it is in /system/bin/ and update busybox to v20.

Make sure you granted permission to 'Shell' or something.

---------- Post added at 08:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 AM ----------

Release5a* is unrootable so fat chance.
[Sony Tablet S] xxliftsupxx:
Please people think of the tweak for the backdoor rescue "rescue.backdoor" to the install from the All.in.One flasher tool. So you if something goes wrong you can save your system via update. There is the joyous euphoria and tinker on the framework already happened - uh, the tablet got stuck in Bootloop - otherwise there is no chance except to wait for a new release. Because Sony does not make it possible successively to flash the same firmware. Since the version must always be higher. The tweak is this version down so that an update (the sam update) can be overwritten. Attention and no WiFi use Tweak ... and NOT to flash ICS ..

This is only an indication that you may not afterwards annoys you.

This is some of the most exciting news! thank you so much for coming up with this and releasing it! I am a noob to this form and also to rooting but I made an account to say thank you and to ask a question.

I do have a Windows 8 computer so I'm going to use that file the nice man on page three or four posted but do I need the the file the first post as well?
[Sony Tablet S] Raedek:
Yes. You need the exploit itself, the motochopper, and the proper win8 ADB drivers. There is a readme file in the automated ADB package with instructions on how to install them manually, in case the automated process doesn't work. Remember to run it as administrator. :)
[Sony Tablet S] jimbohurt:
Thanks you so very much. Im a little nervous, so before i try it out, how will i know if the automated process of the adb driviers didnt work?

I did all of this but am getting

* daemon not running. startging it now on port 5037 *

*daemon started successfully *

and then nothing happens. I did take the adb files that were created on my desktop and put them in motochopper as well.

Please help :)

EDIT:

Never mind! I got it! I used these instructions instead before running motochopper and it worked easily! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1883808

How easy! Thank you all :D
[Sony Tablet S] dex9mm:
If your getting a bootloop your actuly better off not reseting as adb debug will be switched off after a reset

If you get stuck on the sony logo boot screen

There is a slight chance that in recovery you can change the incremental and then flash a ota update then root again

Reseting the device will mean you lose the adb usb debugging

If im wrong sorry just a idea I have been wondering about

---------- Post added at 07:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:43 AM ----------

Sorry, it seems your device is bricked... Real all the posts from thread Debricking ideas..., but most likely there is currently nothing you can do if flashing OTA update from recovery wont work.
[Sony Tablet S] bg_man:
In my JB XTS adb is disabled into bootloader mode.

Do you have it enabled?
[Sony Tablet S] Ponsonby_Britt:
I am hoping to remove some of the Sony-branded apps, if it can be done as root. As it currently stands, a stock install of 4.1.1 only leaves me with less than 10gb of free space on a 16gb device.
[Sony Tablet S] jappaj:
Yeah you could do that but I strongly would suggest against it. Yes you can free some space (though I find it highly unlikely that you would be able to free many gigabytes...) but if you remove wrong app your device may not boot anymore and you could be bricked. Please do not join club bricked, it's expensive club... It's another case with unlocked android devices or devices to which manufacturer provides proper recovery zip, you can recover by yourself but Sony is another case.

I would suggest that you would just bu 32GB SD-card and move your stuff there. They are cheap especially when you can put regular SD card to XTS, you won't need micro-SD. Much cheaper than taking your device to Sony service :)

Don't worry. I reckognized you on my post to this thread, not by name but saying that kudos to author of motochopper. Also googled background of motochopper (of course, who would install random binary without researching backgrounds) and found your amazing work related to Motorola devices.

If somebody thinks that op researched and released motochopper, he is an idiot (heck, even the name is MOTOchopper). Nobody said that. And you don't need recognition from idiots, right? ;) Though I agree that mentioning original authors name would be good way to express gratitude.
