Hi guys,
If you want to have root, and be able to use decrypt/custom
preroot/flash custom functions on Sony Tablet S / Xperia Tab with new firmwares,
then DO NOT update directly to R5/R5A!
since R5 and future releases are shell disabled in recovery.
since R5A new root method with restore is not possible.
Sony Tablet S users - use AiO to make prerooted custom firmware,
with hidden.img replaced to still-vulnerable one!
Or if you dont want to make one for yourself, just wait for me
to make and upload custom fw's for wifi and 3g versions - HERE.

Thanks
Looking at the thanks list it seems as if there's very few users with an Xperia tablet s. I wonder if the old one is actually better.

Tablet s wit 4.0.3R5 recovery v36 to 4.0.3R5a with root ?
Hello everybody,
I have a tablet S, with version 4.0.3R5 with Recovery v 36 and it's showing the update to r5a...
I'd like to root it, and get the update to make vpn work again (r5a).
I've read in STIFILZ FAQ (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1828107) that it's rootable with condi's AIO tool, but how I can get r5a with root if I've already have recovery v 36 ?
In the same FAQs, I've seen this:
Q. I have 4.0.3R5 rooted and want to downgrade to something else
A. When you install R5 OTA or flash normal file the recovery is 'upgraded' you will not be able to use AIO to pre-root future updates nor flash them. You can still root using the ICS method (if it is still current for the update. You can however flash either ICS or ICS R1A by lowering your incremental and manually flashing through recovery. Or see below for condi's amazing solution.
Q. I want 4.0.3R5 rooted and don't want the stupid new recovery
A. See this post here.
-- Now with double flash (flashes both system0 & system1)
But I cant' figure out how to do it.
Can anyone point me in the right direction ?
Thanks a lot !!!

Thanks Stifilz, your FAQ is allways my first stop, its saves me reading all the posts...
I think the link you put in "FLASHER" its wrong, I believe the right one is this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050126&highlight=flasher
I'll try now to root and flash with this tool...
UPDATE: The root worked like a charm, then I used the flasher. It downloaded all the files, and prompted me to select wich hidden image to use. I've selected R1 since its the last with adb support. When it finished I entered recovery and I still see version 36, it's ok ? In the windows device manager I see a "sony" device with no drivers, I've tried the ones with ADB and AIO but it does not recognizes them....
thanks !

Hey guys, i have managed to root my Sony Tablet S (sgpt111gb/s) with the KingRoot app which you can download from the link below. You download APK on your device and install it as you would do normally and just run it and watch the show! I have to say that latest version of KingRoot DID NOT WORK with ver. 4.0.3 r5a currently installed on my tablet s but i've downloaded ''kingroot_global'' (link below) and it worked like a charm! My Sony Table S is now rooted
P.S. THIS ALSO WORKS FOR ALL OTHER ANDROID TABLETS/PHONES!

Hi everyone!
I was trying to ask this in the Dev forum, but aparently my post count doesn't allow me to do so...
I just bought a Sony Tablet S (Wifi 16 GB version), and it comes with Android 3.1 and Kernel 2.6.36.3, so my question is if I can/should root it before I update it to ICS? Is the root process safe and easy to do, and does it void the warranty?
Thanks for your help...
yes - you need to root it before you upgrade - then upgrade using AiO tool by Condi.. here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1515720

Great, thanks for your help! I see from that link that the root can be undone, but can this also be done after the ICS update? I will try to root my Tablet S with the stock Android 3.1 and after I want to update it to the oficial ICS...
Putente,
if you upgrade to official ICS, you will not be able to root, till now.
awn
you will probably have to upgrade to 3.2.1 first, because most of 3.1 versions couldnt be rooted. BUT BE CAREFUL! - do not use OTA update if it comes with ICS because its not rootable and you cant go back..
First you should get URL of 3.2.1 of your region - check one of HC URLS thread,
flash 3.2.1, root, download ICS and use AiO to preroot it, then flash custom ICS with root.
thats all
br
condi
Well, this is starting to get a bit confusing for me, as I'm a noob. I thought that this root process would be easier. I'll do a bit more reading about this subject before I make any decisions...
I got another question...
I have an update notice on my tablet and it says something about a system update version 1.10 and Android 3.2. Is this the (in)famous kernel build #10, or can I safely perform this update before I use condi's AIO tool for root and ICS update?
Thanks.
If you get 3.2 update, you'll probably receive kernel #10 but that update will be soon followed by 3.2.1 with kernel #5, #6 or #8 (or even another one, depending on your region) rootable by Condi's tool.
Then you can be proposed to download another 3.2.1, don't accept as it will be kernel #10.
You may be able to keep root after 4.0.3 update using Condi's tool if you come from a rooted 3.2.1. If not, you won't be able to gain root because there's actually no exploit for stock ICS.
So be carefull!

So you have 3.2 kernel 10?
Then you can install this for Portugal 'WIFI only'.
3.2.1R2 Wifi Only SGPT111PT/S SGPT112PT/S
http://info.update.sony.net/ST003/nbx03_011/contents/0008/signed-nbx03_011-ota-0042.002.zip
This is 3.2.1r2 install, not sure what kernel but should be rootable, I helped someone from Sweden using the same file and they were able to root tablet.
Copy to SD card
To install go into recovery (turn off tab, then hold vol + and tap power button, tablet will boot and then go into recovery, then you can let go of vol button) and select file off SD card.
Then run condi's AIO and select root, it will tell you if it can be rooted or not.....
If that works and you would like to ICS then use the program to preroot the following:
4.0.3 Wifi Only SGPT111PT/S SGPT112PT/S
http://info.update.sony.net/ST003/nbx03_011/contents/0009/signed-nbx03_011-ota-120410025.zip
Oh and Portugal / Netherlands /Norway /Sweden are the same file
GOOD LUCK

Since we cannot decrease from the tablet then why don't we just increase it in the flashable pacakage?
I don't visit here much but I read somewhere that flashable firmware must be greater than the installed one, then why not just change the build.prop in the to higher that 4.0.3 and it will get accepted right?
or is this already tried?
if this succeeds then we can make HC's build.prop to 4.0.4 n flash it and then root it and flash to ICS with add root support.
Just a suggestion.
This may help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1887447

Although we can sign it. We do not have keys or method to fully sign it. Because the bootloader is locked it has to be a signed file from Sony.... With the exception of condi's AIO tool which bypasses the check. For this you need root! But now we can root ICS anyway and apply semi custom roms i.e root and lower incremental

Okay, so you have tested your tablet and you believe it has root access. Now tell me what exactly are you attempting to do when the AiO tool tells you your tablet needs root access?
Im trying to enable the write permissions to sd, and now when ever i do a selection of any option on the AIO options non of them work and before i did the update to (release1 a) i had access to everything in the menu
super SAD i just used a root checker and i have lost my root access ... please some please tell me there is something i can do to fix this and have access once again.. can i downgrade or work away around this ?

Unfortunately, you have lost root access and currently there are no methods available for you to regain root access. Your mistake was flashing your tablet using the OTA update file as-is instead of using Condi's AiO tool to pre-root the OTA update file before flashing your tablet.
ah well that really sucks..... and from what i have been reading there is no way of downgrading is there ?

The auther said included "VpnFaker.apk" had adjusted certification of original "VpnDialogs.apk" in /system/app/ in Japan ver.
So I guess you must match VpnFaker.apk's certification to your oliginal "VpnDialogs.apk", but it's required rooted device.

I can get the /system/app/VpnDialogs.apk without rooted, can you ask the author to re-pack the VpnFaker.apk for us? Thanks!

I think you are meant to go from ICS to R5a, even though there is no warning??? about going from GB.
Try to manually flash a Spain tablet P firmware. See my signature for FAQ (how to manual update) and Update links for the files.
Try this file info.update.sony.net/ST003/nbx02_005/contents/0006/signed-nbx02_005-ota-120612003.zip R2a it is still rootable through AiO tool then you can use Flasher to update to R5a.

you hadn't flashed hidden.img which is required when flashing 3.2.1 <> 4.0.3.
ICS can not work with honeycombs kernel.
just flash last rootable 4.0.3 fw and then reapply r5a via flasher - just like stifilz said

Now, all it's working perfect. One more question, whats it´s the better "region" for my tablet P to get a lot apps and a the most important, games.

Unfortunately there is no 3.2.1 for tablet P US region nor is there any ICS for Tablet P US. The file you need is signed-nbx02_001-ota-0042.001.zip (I recall that is the file name) someone out there should have it but I have asked several members of XDA on multiple threads and I can not find it. If you find it can you please share a link so I can also upload it. Thanks

Hi friends!
I bought a Sony Tablet P, Spain model, with 4 GB of Rom and it's 3G model. It comes with 3.2.1 and was trying to update it to a 4.0 with root. I was using the S.onyTablet.S [FLASHER] v2.5, and looks all process done ok.
But when Im trying to reboot the tablet, the Sony screens show correct, but the next screen i see it's the next one.
ADB no reponse, and only boot in recovery mode. Root it's a second problem to me now!
Can any one help me??
Thanks!

IceCream Sandwich for SGPT211US/S
stifilz said:
I think you are meant to go from ICS to R5a, even though there is no warning??? about going from GB.
Try to manually flash a Spain tablet P firmware. See my signature for FAQ (how to manual update) and Update links for the files.
Try this file info.update.sony.net/ST003/nbx02_005/contents/0006/signed-nbx02_005-ota-120612003.zip R2a it is still rootable through AiO tool then you can use Flasher to update to R5a.

+1 Me too. I need ICS firmware.
I just got a Tablet Z. Model # SGP311, build 10.4.B.0.577
I am wondering if it's possible to root this. I don't know if the bootloader is unlocked.
Thanks

You can root the XTZ, but it's a bit of work... IMO the easiest way is to install a custom rom, but there are other root methods for this device...

Thanks a lot let me try this
OK I am kind of lost with these numbers (109 etc)..I read the link and it looks like it isnt easy like the Samsung devices.
First do I need to unlock my bootloader? Is it possible to install custom rom without root?

1.) I suggest you simply flash 10.1.C.0.370 firmware and root it using the attached file below.
2.) install the latest dual recovery by NUT.
3.) then follow this:

two important things, you should be rooted and has a recovery installed before proceeding the update and retain the root .
@donedos After connecting the tablet with the companion software on my mac, I got the .109 upgrade
Now I am on .109 Firmware.
- How should I flash 10.1.C.0.370? Which tool to flash, source to find 10.1.C.0.370 (search would do?)?
Many thanks

Okay, I have flashed firmware .370 to my tablet (but used SGP312 instead of 311 which is the model of my tablet!), and I have that awful UI layout with the home key and back button of the bottom left and the drop down menu on bottom right! .109 update has popped up as well.
When/if I update to .109 (after root) will my model be SGP311?
I have rooted okay, but used doomlord xploit as the file you attached did not seem to work, and I have installed the recovery by NUT.
I now have the firmware for SGP311 (UK), but only a .ftf file (853,683kb). The directions above state you should have a zip file also

You might lose root with the OTA. The awful phone layout is a consequence of Google trying to unify the UI across Android devices. It's a bit better for devs, lot worse for users. But you eventually get used to it. With 4.4, even Settings app will have the giant phone UI.
