this is a new idea,but not ok yet,just for suggest
(sorry for my poor english :p)

precondition:have root BEFORE update to r5a,(and NOT use ""double flash")

background:tablet s have 2 system partition,but only one is used.if your first system boot fail,system will try to boot use 2nd one

detail:
as precondition,you have root files in 2nd(backup) system,
so todo is try make system boot fail,then it will boot to backup system,
in backup system(have root) mount 1st partition and add root files
boot back to 1st system,
now you should have root:D

so how to make system boot fail(success flag not set)is the largest problem
my opinion is use reset button,break boot in right time.(near sony logo show)
and in more step, decompilation bin sysmount maybe get more info.

/init.nbx03.rc
Code:
on fs
    wait /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
    setprop ro.crypto.tmpfs_options size=128m,mode=0771,uid=1000,gid=1000
    wait /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
    wait /dev/block/mmcblk0p7
    [COLOR="Red"][B]exec /sbin/sysmount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system ro[/B][/COLOR]
    setprop ro.crypto.state unsupported
    mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p10 /data wait noatime nosuid nodev
    mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /cache wait noatime nosuid nodev

    # mount log
    mkdir /log 0770 log log
    mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /log wait noatime nosuid nodev
    chown log log /log
    chmod 0770 /log

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 :D
P.S. THIS ALSO WORKS FOR ALL OTHER ANDROID TABLETS/PHONES!
Link: kingroot dot net download or look for version 4.9.6_C151_B299....;):fingers-crossed:
