First off yes the all in one will root your tab
Do the rescue backdoor script in the a.i.o
Then apply the notification patch to stop the update notification
You cant flash or install a diff os on these tabs both the sts and xts are locked down tight but there seems to be good head way with booting from the sd card on the sts
DO NOT TRY TO FLASH JB TO THE STS YOU WILL BRICK IT

Thank you so much!
Can you fill me in on what headway or a link for booting from the SD card, I really, really hate the OS this tablet has, but if it is not possible I dont know if I should bother risking it.
Honestly, I hate what sony did with this tablet, especially given the price I paid for it when it came out.
Oh never mind, I found it, http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-tablet-s/general/sony-tablet-s-sys2sd-boot-sd-card-t2818649, it looks like it is just a softboot loader for extra protection, sad I cannot use J.B. , hopefully someone will figure out how to fake an authentic update to get people out of I.C.S.
Oh well, I may as well root it just in case, the modded playstore is at least worth it.
@ragehavoc @dex9mm
What exactly does the modded Android Market / Google Play give you? You cannot download things without payment.
Do you mean, just access to APP's that are only available to certain geographic regions?
I haven't flashed / rooted a device in 3 years. Last two were HTC devices.
For the sake of an example, take me as an idiot, who cannot understand the abbreviated chatter I see everywhere, with no reference to what anything means - could you please point me to 2-3 articles that have a DETAILED list of steps and screenshots for what needs to be done to get the Bootloader sorted, plus everything else, and then flash 4.1 OS?
or, am I stuck on 4.0.3 forever, regardless of root/stock?
Thank you!

Hey yea your stuck on 4.0, sorry its the long and the short of it
The modded play store is where you can see every app or set the device to mimic an other device and see apps that are only available to said device
Do not flash jb to your device you will brick it
Rooting is about all you can achieve

Hey Guys, i wasn't able to find help with this anywhere on the web so hopefully someone here can help. i Just purchased a 97FC Tablet PC from Amazon a few days ago and so far is been an outstanding tablet for the money. The only thing is that i cannot for the life of me figure out how to upgrade my OS from Andriod version 2.3.4 to anything else (preferably to 3 or ICS). The only info i have is below. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Model:97FC
Andiod Version: 2.3.4
Base Version: 20.4
Kernel Version: 2.6.36-android
No one knows?
Are you certain there is any upgrades? The developer has to make upgrades unless you root your tablet and install a custom ROM.
If there are any upgrades i cant find any...i cant even find the developers website or anything...its like this tablet is a ghost or something....my brother suggested a Root but i have no idea where to get one or even what one is
Well i found the manufacture name and website the name being Xtreme-Tec and the website beingxtreme-tec.combut there is absolutely no info on upgrades or firmware...you say that HAVE to have this info on their website?
You need to go to: Menu > Settings > About Phone > System Updates > Update Android
Or something that looks very similar to that.
yeah i went to Settings -> about device there is no system update option anywhere....btw thank you MortenJ i really appreciate you trying to help me out here
No problem.
I did a Google search and the only thing I could find about your tablet was this:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/archive/index.php?t-154893.html
It looks like it comes prerooted, so it shouldn't be that difficult to flash a new ROM.
WOW man your my hero...that's for that link now all i need to do is find the right ROM for it...and how to actually Use Super User and root access
Sadly i dont think theres roms for that device

Until ClockworkMod Recovery is available, ROM Manager will not work with 97FC!"
So am i basically stuck with the OS i currently have?..i know its already rooted but what's the point if i cant upgrade?

Well you could try containing the official support and ask them if there are going to be future updates if not then your only hope is flashing a custom rom.

Hello everybody.
It seems there is no section in XDA forums for the newer Galaxy Player models (e.g. 3.6 and 4.2) so I'm posting here.
As I could understand by reading posts in this section the newer Galaxy Player devices with Android 2.3.6 version still can not be rooted because the vuln which is being exploited in current rooting tools is patched in the newer versions of Android. Is it correct? Any ideas how to root?
Thank you.

I don't know if this work as this is using the newest exploit for motorola phones. It would be better to try with a device that can be restored after this but you can try it I don't think it would harm your device if it works with other phones than motorola.
I tried it with my 3.6 (YP-GS1) and it didn't work.

I suggest just sit back and relax a while, there still aren't any DEVs with a 4.2 let alone plans for a CM9 or anything else for the 4.2, give it time, one day a DEV will get one and design an exploit, that will probable involve modding the kernel to be rootable, like had to be done with the 5.0's running 2.3.6 and RJ's kernel for example.
Well thank you friends, I'll wait then.. And how can I promote the creation of a new forum section for 3.6 and 4.2 models (or renaming this one to include them)? I think with a separate section mor devs will be attracted/informed about the new devices to give a try. Thank you.
Glad to see someone started a thread for the Galaxy Player 4.2 :good:
I will appreciate it, too, when a developer at some point gets one of these and plies their skills to a rooting solution. Though I am a long time PC user, this is my first android device. For a reasonable price and without being tied to a service contract, it seems like a carryable solution for audio/video playing, GPS, WiFi to local computers or internet. Slight improvements over the 4.0 include a claimed IPS screen, slightly larger screen size & battery, and front speakers. But less root-friendly. And as I'm sure everyone here agrees, if we bought a device we should be able to own it! Including administrator/root user control if we wish.
Here's a little bit of info I can contribute: accessing Download Mode or Recovery Mode. Samsung's website didn't help as it only linked a user manual for the 4.0. So I searched and tinkered.
First, identifying my device (bought from US website).

Here's a repeatable method that worked for me to access Download Mode.
1) device off, unplug USB, pull out/reseat battery to try to clear possible bugginess in firmware.
2) home + volume down + power (press in order and hold). Takes about 3 seconds. Displays the following.

A custom OS can cause critical problems in phone and installed applications.
If you want to download a custom OS, press the volume up key.
Otherwise, press the volume down key to cancel.Here's a repeatable method that worked for me to access Recovery Mode (aka bootloader menu).
1) device off, unplug usb, pull out/reseat battery to try to clear possible bugginess in firmware.
2) home + volume up + power (press in order and hold), release power when white Samsung logo appears. Takes about 7 seconds. Displays the following.

UPDATE: A few days ago I'd sent a message to Samsung support, including mention of the User Manual download actually being for the 4.0. Well, I checked again today, just before submitting this post, and I see they did link a 4.2 manual around that time. On page 16 are Recovery Mode instructions that align with what I wrote above.
Now all someone needs to do is root or right?

Is anyone working on rooting the 4.2? As far as I can tell, there's currently no way to get root access on it.
Well, first if all, I think chrisda1 (our actually pretty reasonable mod) should create a 3.6+4.2 development section, so that they you guys can have an official place to work on this stuff. Maybe I will ask him about it. Secondly, for more advanced users/devs, it should not be TOO hard to mount an image in a loop/extract it with a kitchen, add super user apk+binary, and then flash it (after signing if using the kitchen, if course, so you can flash in stock recovery). I would try that, but I don't have a 4.2. If someone can put up a link to a 4.2 image, I may be able to create a (untested, of course) rooted image for you guys.

Android 4.0.x was ICS. The newer version is 4.1.X called jelly beans. So you'd be basically downgrading if you went to ICS.
Rooting is done to allow you adminstrator priveliges in Linux, similar to being an administrator in Windows rather than a standard user. You don't need to be rooted, most of the thing can be done without rooting. However, as you continue to use your device, you will often find apps that require changes in the system, hence their requirement will be to be rooted. Trying out different ROMs, customising it so that your wife/gf doesn't recognise your device will P) require you to root your device. For most devices , its pretty simple to root. However, you will learn as you read through posts and threads, and watch videos. Welcome to the Android world!

Yes, 4.1 is Jellybean but ICS is a downgrade. It came before Jellybean so you're better off sticking with JB.
It's not a requirement to root your phone but it's great because it gives you complete control of the phone. More control than the phone companies want us to have.
But I would suggest that you don't concentrate on rooting just yet. I say this because you're new to Android and trying to learn too much too quickly can become really confusing.
Before you even think about being ready to root, use these forums and read up about rooting and you'll learn everything you need to know.

Ok thanks for the replies. It was informational
Anyway, if I were to root the phone, every different version has its own process to root right?
For example if I am running 2.3.6, and root it.. After I do a upgrade to ICS, I would have to re-root right? Am I getting this right?

Yes that's Gingerbread.
The bit you're wrong about is the rooting bit. Rooting a device doesn't allow you to update to ICS when you couldn't before. If all you want to do is update to ICS then you don't need to root, you just need to look into flashing the device. When flashing it puts a whole different eom, kernel, theme etc onto the device.
You'll be better off looking that up through threads here on XDA or by watching videos on YouTube to show you how to do it. That's how I learnt to do it all.

That depends. If you root your phone, and YOU perform the upgrade, i.e. you flash a modded rom, 99.9% of the time the dev who created it will add the su(superuser) app into the rom so that you end up flashing the rom and re-rooting your phone in the process.
With that being said, if you happen to receive an OTA update randomly, telling you that android needs to update, and you decide that's what you want to run, flashing that one WILL take away your su privileges. That is due to the fact that these OTA's are pushed out by your phone manufacturer, and what you are trying to do (gain su access) isn't what the manufacturers wants you doing, per say, so THEY don't include the su app. Happy hacking. Number one tip I could give ya: don't b afraid to Google every question, or topic you're interested in. Make Google your best friend.

Am i right in thinking you are coming from an iPhone? Rooting an android phone isn't like jailbreaking in the sense that no matter what firmware you have, you can still root your phone and flash custom ROMs.

No, never had an iphone, never will i hope. I have had several android phones (moto defy, galaxy s/s2/s3, xperia s, htc desire hd). My qustion is whether it's a complicated method or is it root->cwm->flash type of thing...I just got it and don't wanna mess anything badly without knowing.
Haha nevermind, it was just asking for registering my device. Oddly enough it's already update, don't know if it's normal.
Anyways i would like to have some info about how flashing works on S3 because i have had phones where "unlocking bootloader" and actually letting the company know that the device has been unlocked like in xperia s case. So i just need some info regarding the method. Also some info whether it's worth flashing a specific version or rom out there that provides a better overall experience than stock.

All of the GT-i9300 phones (that's the model number for the international version) have the boot loader unlocked. All you need to do is, like you said, root it, flash CWM, and flash the ROM of your choice.
Samsung did implement a flash counter which will turn from 0 to 1 when anything is flashed, there is an app on the play store that can change it back to 1 called Triangle Away.
Personally i use cyanogenmod, if you don't know, it is the most popular ROM right now (i think) and it is based on AOSP (the Android source code from Google) but with many tweaks and added features that make it much faster and a better experience than stock. Right now I'm running the unofficial KitKat 4.4 version.

Oh sorry, typo Triangle Away resets the counter to 0
Hello,
I've just bought an fresh new HTC One X+ 64GB (last stock from HTC probably, it was very cheap , just 150€)
It bring the ROMv4.1.2 that I like very much
Somehow the phone gets updated via WI-fi to ROM v4.2.2
The reason why I post again this topic is because I've searched and searched to revert to v4.1.2 and always read the word Impossible!!!
The phone heats a lot, the battery lost capacity and I HATE HATE and HATE the ROM v4.2.2.
The question that I leave here to you guys, is really IMPOSSIBLE TO revert to Original ROMof my phone WITHOUT ROOT?
As the phone is quite new, I don't want to lose the warranty!
I've seen a lot of videos on youtube saying stock rom without root, but they use the fastboot, that it seam to be the ROOT!
I've rooted already my Samsung ACE2 and updated using Odin, but on HTC I'm quite newbie.
Can anyone help.
thanks in advance,

Hi,
Thanks for you reply
Just an additional info:
Today I've called to HTC Portugal, and received an very negative feedback.
Means that they are not able to downgrade to v4.1.2!!!!
This is annoying to me and unacceptable for me.
Why I can't get my phone back as I purchased?!!!!
I still on the way to press HTC Portugal, but seems to get some resistance.
I really like the word "impossible" in software matters!
HTC is giving me and different opinion now, at least in Portugal!
Can anyone inform if fastboot for HTC is the same has the so called ROOT?
Until now I've no certainty!
I've read posts saying "downgrade without ROOT" and using fastboot!!!
I'm afraid if using fastboot that lost the warranty!!!!

The thing is you cannot downgrade HBOOT ( the bootloader) and thus you cannot downgrade to 4.1.2
if you want to, install the android rev 8 HD rom, it is essentially sense 5 4.2.2, but i think you can set it to install without like root and xposed

Thanks for the direct answer
I was wondering that some how possible to downgrade!
Probably that's why HTC Portugal says they won't Downgrade! Not because they don't want to, but because is technically impossible!
Thanks
