ICS Updates Zip Added, Countries/Region where ICS is available for Sony Tablet S

[stifilz]

I've used AiO tool (v3.1) and upgrade to ICS US 4.0.3 on my SG tab and wanted to use my own region ICS since it's out already, but there seems that the only one available in here are the Wifi + 3G version (Singapore).

Take a look around and saw that you can try get the OTA by changing the ro.sony.build.incremental but there's no such line inside my build.prop.
Decided to grab my region.zip (original) and change my region back to SG version but got an error; cannot stat 'backups\original_region_build.prop': No such file or directory.
So I try to change the region to HK and succeeded to download the OTA files but it is for HK region wifi version, so my guess is that I can't download SG version while my region are HK.

Any other way to grab ICS 4.0.3 for SGPT112SG/S?

Whats you nbx03_0xx number under build.prop.

I will try find update. Best to downgrade to hc 3.2.1 then change back to sg then preroot ics sg file (which ill try find).

Thanks for the files!

Has already decrypt HC (HK) but aren't able to add root backdoor. AiO (v3.4) closed after choosing root backdoor.
Downgrade to HC using the decrypt files, success but no root. Root with AiO (v3.4) and somehow the tablet is back to ICS 4.0.3 rooted

Finally got the region thing fix. Realised it needed the old_build.prop (renamed it to original_region_build.prop) as well. Did not copy the prop from v3.1 into v3.4 backups folder.

I still have not updated my tablet s 114 Italian (non rooted), and I am no longer able to find a way to update it through the tablet.
How can I do?

I also just downloaded the zip file into this thread, but it is corrupted with winrar or unknown format. Why?
I could use it to upgrade to ICS? How it works?

many thanks!

File always says corrupted as it us encrypted by sony. Put it on sd card and run tablet in recovery.

To do this, turn of tab. Then hold vol up button and press power button, keep holding vol up button and tablet will boot into recovery. Then release up button. Use down button, then power to select 'install zip from sd'. Then find the file on sd card and use power button to select.

This should install ics non rooted. If it is not right file in will not update it but is 100% safe as it will fail before it writes to tablet.

Good luck

Sorry, but... my settings? and my apps?
It's the same as updating OTA?
Many thanks!

I am having a complete nightmare.. tried to update using AiO.. got problems.. lost Wifi.. recovery looping with _hack_recovery... managed to stop that..

Tried to install the unrooted signed sony downloaded rom and now I'm getting an error when I try to install that..

Starting to think that I might need to brick it and take it back to Comets for a swap (if they will swap it!)

Anyone got any fresh ideas?
