DEV: Boot menu manager - Sony Tablet S

Did someone will risk to try Boot menu manager from market?
It hijacks android booting process and installs a custom recovery.
Personally I use it on mine Motorola Razr.
I'd try it but I lost root on mine Xperia S.
Warning: brick is possible, so if someone try it make sure the tab is still in warranty period.
What we will gain?
Custom roms, CM10, etc.

Only problem is we dont have a custom recovery for our tab so we cant install what we dont have lol.

Thanks for trying this!
What is your busybox version?
Last one is 1.21.0.
You can download busybox from market, check version and update if it's too old.
If you update choose normal install.

Hijack "should" work on any android.
Bellow is a link to the original tread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1720351
Mounting and flashing can cause a lot of problems.
We can use hijacking with pre-compiled CWM for Sony tablets.
But first we need a proof of concept. Will hijack work on our tablets?

Busybox 1.20.2 doesnt work

but but if it works, that's gonna flash a recovery for droid RAZR...

And how do you expect it to work with the Sony Tablet S?
I am trying to get the information about the application so I can find out what binary does it use.

Root without computer

Hi,
So I am wondering if it is possible to root the international S3 without a computer. I am running Swedish stock 4.1.1.
I am not new to android but I am new to xda. The reason I am asking is because I am currently backpacking in Australia and I need to root so I can get the latest update + fix a bunch problems.
With me I have a Asus transformer Eeepad if it helps at all wich I doubt.
Thanks in advance all you helpfull xda members.
Regards Reclused
If you have another device there is an app that can root from another phone... I'll look for it and post the link
Strange.. I have it installed but not showing anywhere for a link. Search root transmission here in the forums. You'll find it

How would you do that, rooting one device with another rooted device and not use Odin/Mobile Odin? Can`t think of a way right now.

Imo impossible, you always need Odin to install SU and/or CWM. If you can run that from a tablet it is oke.
-EDIT- Here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014121, but not for the international S3 atm, not supported yet.
Thanks a lot, I hope they figure it out soon for the international one.
The thing is that I want the latest update on my s3 but I can't get it OTA because it is "changed" status. So I figured I would root it and flash the latest stock version via mobile Odin. But can I root the TF101 without a computer and then use the root transmission perhaps? It has the latest version 9.2.1.27 ICS.

Check this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1104, make sure it is for your model. I don`t have a tablet myself so can`t help you much there
Root your asus: see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1366743
Oh i saw u linked the root transmission app link sorry for misunderstanding. Okay it seems I'm ****ad... :/ Thanks for all your help. Anyways.

Download the APK (Not Market) and install
Under the Android Applications bar, you will find the InDrive 1.2.0 Place your mouse on the "APK" and download it to your computer. Copy it over to your phone through a USB cable. (P.S. You won't physically see the transfer happen. It is MAGIC!) Use a file manager, find the APK you magically transferred and install it.
Can I just download the apk to my phone from your post or must I use a computer? :sarcastic:

I think the OP, who needed the app, did what was suggested. The rest of us were just curious if it would show up as compatible or not from the market. Since there seemed to be a couple of scenarios. :thumbup: :beer:
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
This is the dev. Droid DNA should be compatible with the latest version of InDrive (1.2.3). We don't have an actual device on our hands so I haven't run any tests. Please let me know if there are any problems.
Works for me.

Help with crazy photon, dials out on its own, opens and closes apps, no speaker

I have this 2.3.5 motorola photon, it looks functional, except that the earpiece is not working, easey fix I told to my self...but after replacing it for a working one nothing changed, and I started noticing that the phone act all crazy, calls out the last number when you are actually trying to dial out, opens and closes apps continusly, etc, I did a factory reset and a hard factory reset but nothing changed, I tried also doing RSD flash to have a fresh version of the OS but obviously that did not work, can someone help me please?

i dont think you will mess up your phone when rooting it. if you flash kernel or rom then of course yes but root? no chances. and you said that you can boot your phone to download mode soo you always can flash stock rom.
Did you ever find any info, michaelsinbad?
