Thanks for the reply...

If I try to boot without going into recovery , my tablet is not recognized when I plug it into my computer (it just sit at the sony logo, no new hardware found, no MTP...), now if I boot into recovery and plug it in, I do have a connection as Android ADB interface...

I never used adb shell before so I don't know how to really run commands , but I did figure out how to use the cmd prompt and access the adb folder from prompt, I did a "adb devices" command to see a list of devices attached and I get this:

it seems kinda odd that my device is 0123456789ABCDEF ?!?!

Tried "adb pull / sdcard and I get this:

View attachment 2153193

As I said before I never used adb commands, I understand what to do if explained and I never give up ;) so I'm good for next if anything is possible....

edit1: adb shell command return this : exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2)

so if I understand this correctly it means that I don't have remote shell access and I'm pretty much screwed...

edit2: after fiddling around with some adb commands, I was able to access my external SD from recovery and tried to update system from SD card, selected custom_prerooted_doubleFLASH_R5A_nbx03_001-ota-121116036.zip (by the way I was on a different firmware before all this thing happened , it was the firmware prior to R5 if I recall properly)...well no go either, as I get a prompt in recovery saying:

--Install /sdcard ...

Finding update package...

Desklunvr update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Ok so there is normally no adb shell in recovery since the latest recovery anyway. Also you have no shell on normal boot. You may be ok still. BTW even after factory reset you will have adb in recovery.

Do the following.

Turn tablet off.

Enter recovery.

Try to flash a your normal region zip file. i.e 001 for USA. Do the oldest one you can. Let it fail and try it again.

Then use adb pull /tmp/recovery.log

Post your recovery.log here and we will have a look at it :D

The problem is that when I get into recovery I don't have access to my external SD card, I always get

E: Fail to read boot logo flag

E: Can't Open / Dev/block/mmcblk0p5

(No Such file or directory)

E: Failed to Mount /cache (No such file or directory)

E: Can't mount/ cache/recovery/command

E: failed to mount /cache (No such file or directory)

E: failed to mount /cache (No such file or directory)

And when that happens, I can't flash anything from the external SD, I was able to get in recovery

ONLY A FEW TIMES

without the above messages and that's when I saw that I could read the external and then I immediately tried to flash this zip custom_prerooted_doubleFLASH_R5A_nbx03_001-ota-121116036.zip but it gave me the "failed to verify signature" error, I tried a few times with the same results....when I rebooted I was even able to pass the Sony logo to the boot animation and it went into a bootloop...

I haven't been able to access my external SD since it happened those few times back then....and I'm running out of ideas on what to do with my problem right now...

By the way, when you say flash my "normal region zip file. i.e 001 for USA", you mean through recovery right??!?

The latest firmware I was on was ICS Release 1a (I never bothered upgrading higher than that as my tablet was super smooth/fast and my battery life would last forever even with very high usage, plus we had all those problem of non root-able R5a back in the days)...so if I put this firmware (the US ICS Release 5 Incremental

FILENAME: signed-nbx03_001-ota-incremental-120914044-from120803000.zip) on my external SD and if I'm able to access it through recovery again can I just flash the zip like that in recovery?!?

I'll download that zip and have it ready on my card just in case I'm able to access my external again....

And one last thing, if I can't do an update system from SD card as I'm unable to access the damn card ;), what other things could I try (if you have anymore ideas) ?

Thanks again
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Yes if you can access recovery try to flash from the SD card. To be safe use a full R5 or R5a (not incremental). If it fails try once more and then adb pull /tmp/recovery.log and post here for us.

Other than that no options and pay $ony some $$$ for them to use a 'installer' file. (We don't have these.... yet :p)

Stifilz
[Sony Tablet S] -DM-:
Ok downloading R5a and R5 full right now, so I can have them both ready on SD...let's see if I can access them at least one more time...keep you posted...thanks ;)
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Let it try to boot for a couple of minutes then hold down power to kill it, then reboot into recovery. It should realise that it has failed to boot and switch partitions. The reason to try flash twice is because it may try to switch partitions after a failed flash. Mine does that and it took a while to realise. I managed to fix mine but I am stuck on HoneyComb 0035 (so can't root) and can't flash anything due to broken vendor. But hey it goes. lol

best of luck

Didn't see your above post while I was trying to get my recovery to stop bugging so I could have access to my external SD and be able to flash a zip...well after 24 hours of trying, I was able to boot into recovery without those errors that used to get (I finally remembered how I was able to get into a clean recovery a few times in the past, just by doing "adb reboot-bootloader" from it and holding volume+ and power as soon as the command was sent and it bypassed the sony logo and sent me straight to recovery without bug), finally could access my external SD...flashed the ota R1a full zip(as I wanted to keep the R1a recovery to flash the custom prerooted R5a zip after that)...progress started up to "verifying update package" point, then it just sat there forever not going any further, so I just aborted it and tried again, same thing, progress just stopped at the same point,after 4 or 5 tries was still getting stuck....

So I switched to ota R5 full zip instead just to see and to my surprise it went without a glitch ;)...rooted the damn thing right away with AIO....my system was all bugged up so did a recovery wipe---->brand new cleaned R5 rooted

Since I went that far, I said let's keep going, started Flasher----->brand new cleaned R5a rooted

I read so many posts and threads on xda during the past week since my tablet crapped itself, that I don't really know anymore if this was the easiest way to do all this after I recovered my system...but I'm up and running now, funny how I never bothered to upgrade to the last 2 firmwares but got forced to this way ;)

----Anyway, just wanted to thank you in pointing me to the right direction----
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
No worries. You are doing better than me. Haha still stuck with Honeycomb :p
[Sony Tablet S] -DM-:
I would have took any firmware...mine was just a nice framed Sony logo for a week

De-bloating the system now and then installing everything back...that should keep me busy for a while :laugh:

See you around the forum
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Have you factory reset yet???? If you haven't then DON'T and let me know ASAP. Hopefully you will have adb shell on boot???

Sorry to be the bearer of bad new but you might be screwed. It is failing because you are trying to install R5a and R5a is already on that partition. Try to flash more than one, maybe it will switch partitions (it does that for me). Or let it boot and it will crash, hold down power for 10sec and it will turn off. Then boot recovery and try to flash that file twice. Then pull the recovery.log.

If you get the same message twice then it is not switching and you are currently bricked!........ Unless Sony release a later release for Tab S.... Not likely :(
[Sony Tablet S] GuyKap:
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, the factory reset was one of the first things I tried. Of course I hadn't read this forum yet! I tried to get into the adb shell, but failed. :(

I also tried to get the tablet to switch partitions, but this also didn't work either.

I guess the chances of Sony releasing an update are pretty slim. Is there a way to create a fake update file that tricks the system into thinking it is a higher version? I understand that the usual way would be to update the version number on the tablet, but that this isn't an option without access to the shell.

Also, I hear Sony has special install files that can fix this. Does anyone have access to these?

If all this fails, can I take the tablet to Sony and claim ignorance? The tablet is still under warranty, but they could of course claim that I messed this up myself. I guess they wouldn't be wrong, either!
[Sony Tablet S] limax182:
If you still under warranty take the tablet to Sony and if they ask you what happen just say when you tried to update vía OTA to newest version (r5a) the tablet did'nt boot anymore :fingers-crossed: I tell them this vía telephone and also in Sony Service Center they but I don't have warranty :(

Just act like a supernoob user :p

Since 4.22, any high frequency audio streamed across bluetooth A2DP is terrible. Sounds like it's being clipped....static and popping (see code issue here, https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39632).

Well, it hasn't been fixed in v4.3. However, someone edited the stock bluetooth.default.so file and created a fix. I've been using it before 6+ months. It's been working great.

Wondering if there's someone who has the skills and is willing to to the same. Here's the post where it was fixed for 4.22 (https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39632#c158)

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_Grumzer:
Hi there,

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 WiFi/3G (first edition). Right now there is stock ROM on it. I flashed CWM on it, booted in recovery mode and followed some guide I found.

At first I had an older version of CWM (5), after some playing around I installed CWM version 6. I wanted to flash the CM10 ROM, but version 5 of CWM gave me some error, So I flashed a newer version.Followed the guide again, installed ROM from ZIP file with CWM, no errors, flashing is done, reboot Tab, and now the only thing I see is the "Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1" logo/boot screen.

When I restore the backup I created earlier, the tablet boots in the stock ROM again...

So I was wondering what is going wrong... I have read some thread but could not find anything similar to this...

Thanks!

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the GREAT web site.

ROM: 1.50f.b1WWE

ROM Date: 13/05/05

Radio Version: 1.14.00

Protocol Version: 1337.24

I am not sure if this is the latest and GREATEST verison ROM. I think the radio rom mighty not be latest? So ...

I have been reading and searching on the forum and found on the ftp TWO folders; Win2k5 and Himalay2005.

The ROM nk.nbf in the Win2k5 folder display 1.50f in ER2003Edit

The ROM nk.nbf in the Himalaya folder displays 1.50b in ER2003Edit

This B version was the one I loaded Friday .. work fine .. except the known problems.

I just re-loaded version F (assuming it is the latest) and found that it only display the following memory allocatin:

Storage: Total: 14.54MB In Use: 2.41MB Free: 12.14MB

Program: Total: 24.35MB In Use: 13.86MB Free: 10.66MB

Where as the OLD version give me the fill 128MB

What did I do wrong ... please can someone clearify the correct ROM for iMate 2020 XDA2,etc

Thanks a million

Ok we ran the RUU in Fastboot USB Mode.

Now we got the Error 155.

There is standing that we need the right Rom Update Utility Programm

[General Questions and Answers] DrRichardQuack:
I would post this in the Developer forum, in reply to a poster who has the same problem, but I just registered and therefore do not meet the requirements to post there.

I'm wondering if anyone else has observed this behavior. In short, I installed TriForceROM 3.0 (after performing a "Wipe User Data" operation in TWRP 2.6.0.0) and all was well for about 12 hours. During the ROM installation, I chose the "Standard" option, as I believe it's called. (I didn't elect to customize anything.)

After 12-18 hours of having the ROM installed, I noticed that my phone was simply powered-off. I hit the power button and nothing. Then I held-down the power button, which is how I normally power-on the device, and then realized that the device was, in fact, powered-off when I came back to it after a few hours of being in the other room.

After powering-on the device, the same thing happened a few hours later, and the issue seems to be occurring more and more frequently as time passes.

I have not changed any of the ROMs settings, and I haven't installed any type of third-party "tweaking" app.

Another individual has the same problem:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=43942167&postcount=1466

Could this be due to kernel, power, or CPU settings? I noticed that when I opened KTweaker for the first time, the application warned me:

"Your KThermal values do not match current, Apply values?"

and

"Your vibration Strength does not match current, Apply Vibration Strength value?" (this one seems unrelated)

The CPU temperature seems to hover around 45 degrees Celsius. (Is this a normal range?)

Another observation is that when I long-press the Home button (to bring-up the app-switcher), I see a little Android icon with the title "MIPErrorActivi...". If I click on it, I'm simply dumped to the Home Screen. I don't know if this is at all related.

Thoughts or suggestions, anyone?

My phone is model SPH-L720.

Thanks in advance!
