While in the Sony Tablet Bootloader Discussion I have created a R5A ADB Recovery Driver.
This will overwrite your Sony Tablet S ADB driver.
This does support x86 and x64.
Please note that the recovery is going to disallow most if not some adb commands, I created this so people can access the recovery with the new recovery address via ADB, hopefully someone would be able to bypass and hack the recovery using this.
This uses the ADB from the system so it is ok to install.
EDIT: I was really suppose to use adb install to install an application. :p
EDIT 2: Sideload just throws back an error, I have not tested ADB install and I doubt that would work.

Screeny of the commands that would work if I had a flashable zip file and also if the recovery allowed such thing:

says install method not supported for this type of file. I was hoping to use this to allow flashing on my soft brick tab that I just can't seem to get going again.

Can we run adb shell and “ dump_image boot /sdcard/boot.img “ to port CWM
Nope, unfortunately Sony did block most of the ADB commands and I assume it is blocked with either ADB unlock code or some file which is required to unlock the commands.
