I just got this Sony Tablet P and I'm trying to get it set up but I can't update any apps even though I'm connected to the internet, it can load emails, download Crash Bandicoot, and webpages, etc. I keep getting errors. I figure, maybe using stock isn't the way to go, so I try to update, to no avail. Then I look it up on google and end up downloading 4 different zip/7z files to try it. I'm able to install the abd files, but I can't root the device. The computer is in Test mode. The program fails (but can't post a pic yet) but luckily the Tablet is left where it started and not bricked or in any worse condition.

I've seen online that there's a ICS updated for the tablet and I'd love to get that, as that's a version I spent a lot of time with and enjoy the experience. Being back to 3.2.1 leaves much to be desired and the inability to update apps ruins the experience. Is there anything I can do? I read on a difference thread that 3.2.1 build 10 can't be rooted and while I am 3.2.1 I don't think I am build 10.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. I realize I'm using an old device and am not expecting the same experience I get from my Xperia Z2 Tablet.

What I have:
  • Sony Tablet P 3G AT&T US Version
  • SGPT211US/S
  • Android Version: 3.2.1
  • Baseband Version: R4A02
  • Kernel Version: 2.6.36.3 [email protected] #1
  • Build Number: THMAAS0015400
