Stock 4.0.3r5a is not rootable. Anticipating your next questions: Your tablet must already be rooted to install pre-rooted 4.0.3r5a. You cannot install or downgrade to an earlier rootable release.

I can't help thinking there's got to be an opening somewhere. After all, how else can Sony's engineers reflash a damaged or corrupted system?
I guess it requires a level of access not available to ordinary users, though. What a PITA....

They can sign the zip offically so a reflash for repairs shouldn't be an issue for them I would think

I mean if it was possible to create a rom for the HP Slate then I think this shouldn't be an issue.

When/who made root for 4.0.3 5a OTA?

I know that the guys that are making the modds here for the Sony Tablet S they said that for the moment there is no way to root the 4.0.3 5a OTA cose the bootloader is closed... but... anyone... is there another way?
I just bought the Tablet S... and without root und custom rooms is just no fun.
Thanks for your efforts and with great respect for your work.... greets from Berlin

on same boat like you , hope they can find out the way to root 4.0.3 r5a , this room got so much problem and i need wipe and install new rom stable
Yeah I have to say, I upgraded cause I was sick of getting the messages for months and months on end!
Upgraded on Sony Tablet S from OS v3.x to v4 R5.
Not sure why people call it "OTA" (over the air) when it definitely was downloaded via my Wifi!
So am I stuck? Am I locked? I thought this was the perfect device to experiement with!
p.s. How can we take a backup of the current ROM prior to rooting? Something I'd like to do this time when rooting my second device.
Cheers!

Why you didn't disable the upgrade message with condi's aio tool?
I have my tablet S with r5a rooted only because condi released the Flasher but I don't really see any diference from r5 to r5a
Why? Cause I got sick of it, and I figured the newer OS would be better!
The new OS is much better. Much faster. But several apps - I wish I could remove / uninstall won't go... Plus the stupid remote and other button at top of screen ...
Where can I find a list of ROM's that will support the Sony Tablet S device?
Anyone know?

[Q] Tablet P Won't boot after prerooted install

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!

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.
Stifilz
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

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

The latest firmware update available for the Sony Tablet S is Android 4.0.3r5a, which is rootable using Condi's S.onyTablet.S [ALLinONE] Tool. At this time, there is no Jelly Bean update available or planned for the Sony Tablet S. Also, in the future, avoid being rude when asking strangers to do something for you.

You should not use capital letters because it sounds like you're yelling or demanding response
Also there's a lot of post talking about rooting and fw versions but....
1. For rooting use the AIO tool by condi like Cat McGowan said
This tool have the option to root any fw version of the STS
2. About all your data I recommend you make a backup of everything, in my case when I rooted mine my data was intact but as always do this procedure at your own risk
3. About overclocking kernel, we have locked bootloader so there's no way to do that even no custom roms

Before using Condi's AiO tool, make sure you have the ADB drivers installed and working on your computer, and USB debugging enabled on your tablet.
BluechipJ's Automated ADB Driver Installer for Sony Tablet S and P
To enable USB debugging on Sony Tablet S, go into the tablet's Settings > Developer options > and set USB debugging to ON (checked).

Nope. There is no current exploit in 4.3 Sony firmware. So, you either unlock your bootloader, or do that process.
Wait till 4.4!

I tried with VROOT, but seems like there's no update yet. Was researching about 4.3 root methods, there a few, most of them you have to go back to 4.2 and then upgrade, but a direct root, no, I haven't found one yet :good:
