why not?

Condi's tool will perform rooting if the tablet's /log directory is writable by "shell" user. That's usualy not the case with kernel build #10 but it doesn't basically depends on the kernel. It's the script in the update.zip that puts the access rights on the directories and files. So why not a build #10 with /log writable?

Today i accidnetally accepted the lated OTA update but it rebooted halfway through updating and gave "error code 7" when then tablet finished booting.

Just out of curiosity i downloaded the OTA via the tool , moved to SD card and tried to flash and got the same "E:prohibit update as a result of checking version or base sku" :( error.

I'm rooted with

Android version 3.2.1 release 2#
Kernel version 2.6.36.3 build 8#1
Build number THMAS0032400

I'm now worried i can't flash any custom roms or even download the official ones(which would clearly suck BIG time)

Any ideas?

Cheers

Check your region.zip file (/configs/region.zip); the recovery log is saying that it's empty/missing.

Hello everyone!

Noob questions following :)
Well, I'm used to flashing the hell out of my Android phones, but this is my first tablet (expecting delivery tomorrow), and the rooting / flashing process seems different.

Now, assuming my Tablet S doesn't come with that dread build#10 kernel I read about, should I go ahead and root it right away, with this tool? (big thank you to Condi for his efforts!) Or should I install OTA updates first, hoping I won't end up with a build#10 kernel?

More to the point:
Once I root it, how would I install updated versions afterwards?
I didn't see any custom ROMs posted in this section... does the tool itself install the latest rootable ROM version?


Many thanks in advance!



PS-seems rather silly that Sony lets you unlock the bootloaders for the Xperia line, but they don't allow it for the tablets...

I would recommend rooting first, then you can download the OTA updates and root them with the tool before you actually run the update.

I may be wrong, but from what I have read online, the tablet S doesn't even come with a locked bootloader.

Thanks for that, just what I wanted to know. The instructions in the OP do mention the tool can root OTA updates, just wasn't sure if it can also download them.


I may be wrong, but from what I have read online, the tablet S doesn't even come with a locked bootloader.

I thought the whole rooting problems came from the fact that the bootloader is locked?
I may have misread, though; I only started browsing the Tablet S section here on XDA yesterday evening.

No custom Rom as you mentioned so the benefits are limited to apps that use root etc. as far as i am aware (please someone correct me if i am wrong) but as long as you are just rooting the version on the tablet the official updates will still arrive normally and be ok to install. just obviously be aware that the updates are likely to contain locked kernels so you could back at square one.


Condi: Quick Q. i am not asking for an eta or anything but wondered if you are hanging back until ICS is out to work on that instead? just wondered as i am checking back often to see if anyone has found a way yet and it kind of makes sense to me to do it that way.

ok you have aroused my curiosity....

could i ask you try and speak with condi or other developers to do some sort of tests, info dumps etc to see how you managed to get it done on yours?

also, my build number is THMAS0032400 which is below the kernel version on the about screen. maybe this makes some difference as i match everything else yours has. what is yours?

Hi, seems it might not be exactly the same error as i have region.zip with lots of files and all of them populated as well.
Yep, you've quoted another users log, and now everybody thinks that its your problem ;)

There might be 2 sources of your problem:
1) ro.sony.build.incremental value is higher than update which you want to flash,
2) or your region is different (/changed/tempchanged) than one in update which you want to flash.

To be sure that your region is proper, just run 'Reigon Changer' function,
and choose your device region. Even if its ok, it will reapply correct one.

No custom Rom as you mentioned so the benefits are limited to apps that use root etc. [...]

Condi: Quick Q. i am not asking for an eta or anything but wondered if you are hanging back until ICS is out to work on that instead? just wondered as i am checking back often to see if anyone has found a way yet and it kind of makes sense to me to do it that way.

As far as custom roms are concerned everybody can make his 'own custom rom'. You can modify _custom_rom_maker.bat and make your own :)
Just look at /files/_custom_update_maker.bat file.

About hanging back - when ICS will be released then yes, we all gonna check it out, if its vulnerable with some exploits, and I would like to make 'all-in-one ICS update' which will be flashable to all region devices.
It will be easy to use, to all the people not familiar with all the dev stuff.

And one more thing about hanging back - there are no suggestions,
request and no ideas of new functions ;) So I'm waiting for users creativity :D

Hi condi thanks for your really quick reply and for the tool and all your work

Yeah i only meant to quote the part that showed the ""E:prohibit update as a result of checking version or base sku" error that i get but managed to quote the whole log as a result of a few beers lol

I've changed my region using your tool just to make sure and the ro.sony.build.incremental value value was 1 so i set it to 0 but i still have the same problem :(

Any other ideas. Your help is much appreciated.

    Hi,

    So here it is. All in one tool to modify Sony Tablet S (/P/Xperia) in most important ways.
    From now on I will directly update 'S.onyTablet.S' tool with new features.
    If you think about some new functions, which could be useful to add - feel free to propose.


    If you want to keep this project alive - don't forget to donate,
    its not mandatory, but greatly appreciated.

    HUGE THANKS to those that have already donated!



    Condi presents... S.onyTablet.S [ALLinONE] tool :)
    zdnet-sony_tablet_s1_side.jpg


    [S.onyTablet.S features]:

    MAIN MENU:
    1. [ICS-OK] Root device - doesn't need description. Added compatiblity for CHINA devices and new root method for ICS!
    2. [ICS-OK] Unroot device - this will delete su, busybox, superuser - all root things. Useful regarding warranty.
    3. [ICS-OK] Region changer - !! yes! one-click region changer, also changes additional build.prop
      values, in order to get correct ota-update on current old-region firmware. Available 29 regions. For S&P tabs only.
      Big THANK YOU to all the people, who helped, collection of regions is based on users values, in large part.
    4. [ICS-OK] Run ADB Shell - runs adb shell - terminal from pc. Just handy.
    5. [ICS-OK] Reboot device - just reboot.

      CUSTOM ROM AND FLASHING SUBMENU:
    6. [ICS-OK] Create decrypted update.zip - boom1 :) decrypt official OTA updates, and can make custom rom from it.
    7. [ICS-OK] Add root, "rescue-backdoor", init.d to decrypted zip - boom2 :)
      (in previous step it can be also made) - make custom rom with root and build.prop mod built-in.
      Now init.d also included! in v2.3 I've moved script into separate files\_custom_update_maker.bat - to be userfriendly,
      now you can make your own modifications, own custom rom based on AiO :)
    8. [ICS-OK] Sign decrypted custom-update.zip - boom3 :) signs modified update.
    9. [ICS-OK] Flash signed zip [auto/manual] - boom4 :)
      (before using sign your update) - WELCOME CUSTOM ROMS FLASHING!
    10. [ICS-OK] Flash signed zip [straight from recovery] - will work only on devices
      already-working with _hack_recovery.zip! and with recovery up to R1A. Handy in some situations.

      TWEAKS AND MODS SUBMENU:
    11. [ICS-OK] Install "rescue-backdoor" - anti-bootloop protection, gives opportunity to reflash current firmware
      if something goes wrong with modifying system things.
    12. [ICS-OK] Run OTA ZIP autodownloader - you've got to have "System Update" notification to use it.
      Make it if new OTA comes in, or after "rescue-backdoor".
    13. [ICS-OK] Toggle OTA system updates and notifications - you can disable annoying update notifications
      (after "rescue-backoor"). Also enable back.
    14. [ICS-OK] Install init.d support - just push your bash scripts to '/system/etc/init.d/' to get them autostart
      on device booting. Useful to get some modifications (for example other sdcard mounting).
    15. [ICS-OK] Install gps-fix mod - changes gps.conf with modded version to get better and faster signal.
    16. [ICS-OK] Fake as other device - fake your tab as one of four available (Acer A500, Motorola XOOM,
      Galaxy SII, Galaxy TAB) - to get more games/apps available in market :) To bring back original - run again.
    17. [ICS-OK] [init.d] script] Increase SD/extSD read speeds. - adds init.d script which automatically on boot changes cache value,
      to get better read speeds (idea by obicom, solution by brainmaster - read more here, thx guys!
    18. Add WiFi AD-HOC Support - As suggested - fully automatic adhoc enabler. HC only.
      Big thanks to zerod78 for the solution! To get back to original state - run again.
    19. [ICS-OK] Install latest [modded] Google Play Store - changes Google Store App to one,
      which is modded to unlimited access to apps and with removed countries restriction etc.
      Big thanks to Deeco7 and Team ICEmods for the modded apks! To get back to stock app - run again.
    20. [ICS-OK] Install latest PlayStation Mobile app. - Downloads latest PSM app from Sony, and installs it.
      Users who got problem with installing 'Account Manager' update from inside PSM can use modded Google Play Store,
      from above, to install it without problems :)
    21. [ICS-OK] Install "USB Mass Storage" support. - yes! for external sd, and also internal one!
      Can be easly turned on with two shortcuts on home screen :)
    22. [ICS-OK] Enable write permissions to SD. - reenable SD write permissions for all applications! No more FileTransfer-monopoly!
    23. [ICS-OK] Update OEM Apps. - some oem apps from latest JB release2 fw for Sony Tablet S owners!


      UPDATE CHECKER - new function, which checks on start (~2s) if there is a new version of ALLinONE!
      If there is new version - it opens official S.onyTablet.S webpage! Always stay up to date :D
      This option can be turned off - if you want to disable it just make empty file called "_offupdates" in "files" directory ;)

    Its good to use S.onyTablet.S tool not too deep in directory structure,
    unpack it in root of C:\S.onyTablet.S v6.0 for example ;)

    [FAQ - frequently asked questions v1.0]:


    If you have some questions, just ask, most common, usefull will be added here.


    1. I don't know this, I don't know that! Grrrrr! That doesn't work!
    Throw everything and help me NOW!

    - Remember that all the project is free, everybody who works here, spends his own
    free time. Its our hobby. We all have jobs, families, everyday duties. Nobody force
    you to do anything. Appreciate all the work, read all you can before proceeding,
    do not blame if something goes wrong. Of course feel free to post, but its good
    to search for the solution, before doing that :) Most of the questions has already
    been answered.


    2. How can I know if my tablet is rootable?
    - Just run AiO tool, and choose 'Root' function, it will gonna check in the beginning
    if your device is rootable, if not - you will gonna see the statement.


    3. When root for not-rootable (fw R6A+) devices will gonna be available?
    - There is no ETA. When new exploit is going to be found, then of course
    I will inform you about it, and it should included in future version of AiO tool.


    4. I've successfully flashed 'custom prerooted ICS', there is SuperUser in apps,
    but I don't have working root, why?

    - If you have SuperUser, and /system/bin/tempsu binary, then most probably you used
    SuperSU in 3.2.1. In AiO v2.7 there was no path check for SU binary.
    Just use this small fix (path check included in AiO v2.8+).


    5. I've flashed 'custom prerooted ICS', but I can't access Google Play Store (Market),
    how to fix this?

    - Just use modded Google Play Store, from AiO 'Tweaks and Mods' submenu,
    choose standard one.


    6. I've flashed 'custom prerooted ICS'. I want Honeycomb 3.2.1r2 back!
    Can I downgrade my device from prerooted 4.03 to 3.2.1r2
    ?

    - YES! In few simple steps:
    1. Boot into RECOVERY;
    2. Flash 3.2.1r2 update zip (removed from s.ony server - added mirror :) );
    3. During flash tablet will reboot 3 or 4 times, with 'green dots' screen.
    Just before last 3rd dot reboot you've got to hold VOL+ button,
    to get to RECOVERY just after flashing complete! IMPORTANT!;
    4. Wipe device;
    5. DONE.

    Wipe just after flash is very important, because if you will not gonna do this,
    then it will be bootlooped in start animation, after wipe will boot correctly,
    but after another reboot it will gonna boot again into ICS!
    So if you will not gonna wipe just after flash, then just start all over again.


    7. I've bricked my device! What can I do?
    - As long as your 'region.zip' file is not damaged, then for 99% your tab can be fixed.
    Firstable try to flash this: 3.2.1r2 firmware
    if not works, then try this:
    signed-nbx03_016-ota-120803071.zip,
    in fot works, then try this:
    signed-nbx03_001-ota-120803002.zip

    In most cases it works. If it will fail then:
    1. Boot into RECOVERY;
    2. Try to flash the update again - it will fail - thats ok;
    3. Wait for 2-3min to get adb available;
    4. Use 'adb pull /tmp';
    5. Post your recovery.log and region.prop files.


    8. I've flashed 'custom prerooted ICS'. Now I get OTA update notifications,
    is this normal?

    - YES, its normal. In order to 'be safe' we need to have lower incremental value,
    and thats why your device 'thinks' that there is a new firmware on the air.
    DO NOT UPDATE. It will flash stock fw, no root, no way back.
    You can disable ota notifications via AiO - tweaks&mods section.


    9. I've flashed R5+ ICS firmware. I can't decrypt and flash custom updates!?
    - From R5+ firmwares adb shell in recovery has been disabled.
    It means that you can't use preroot/decrypt/flash AiO functions
    in future fw releases.


    10. Is there a way to update to R5+ and still be able to hack recovery?
    - YES, in AiO v5.3 make custom prerooted firmware,
    and choose to replace hidden.img in custom update.
    It will prevent from recovery update = will remain hackable one.


    11. I'm trying to root (new method). I still get ERROR INTENT 3?
    - The script checks after getting all the permissions,
    after every step the check is being made.
    Most of the devices will be rooted after 2-3 try,
    but some of them... not. What to do?
    Just be patient. Some users got root on 1st run,
    some reported that got root after ~30 tries :)

    The AIO may be helpful but it's far from perfect, with incorrect messages ("su missing" when adb drivers or just the device wasn't found) and missing crucial information like "reboot your device by holding vol+ etc etc etc IF AFTER A WHILE YOU ARE STILL STUCK HERE, CHECK THE DEVICE MANAGER FOR MISSING DRIVERS"
    Nobody force you to use it, you can always do everything manually,
    no need of AiO, thats a PERFECT SOLUTION.

    I've included a lot of verifications in AiO,
    but for God's sake - don't blame AiO&me for that you had incorrect drivers.

    Anyway, thank you for your program, but you should spend your time for the next update to fix the output and making it more troubleshot friendly. I mean, the root failed (because the hacked mtp driver that was included in the program's files wasn't automatically installed) and AIO's output was success?!?!
    I can't make it more user friendly. It needs some experience,
    if its not user friendly for you, then again - don't use it.

    And no - I'm not gonna spend my time on fixing what you've suggested.
    Most likely I'll spend my time with my wife.

    Good night.
