[Q] Problem with boot

[dvdbane]

Hi..i receive this tablet from a friend asking if I can do anything before he send it to sony service centre
The problem was bootloop with only sony logo and some time, the orange aura boot screen came out
What I did after I got the tablet was do a factory reset through recovery and I didn't know it is not recomended to do that
Then I was able to load it up after flashing with ics release 1a for singapore signed-nbx03_041-ota-120804012.zip
Then root with AIO > apply custom preROOTed newest stock nbx03 R5A with R1A's recovery
During the rooting process until successfully loading the custom stock rom, the tablet seem not responding after the first boot.it only stay at sony logo for a long time like a bootloop..then I tried to shut it down and turn it back on.the tablet start normally
After that I tried and found out,i need to start > force shutdown by power button > start again for it to boot normally
Anyone know why it happen and how to fix this problem?i just hope I can give it back to my friend without this problem
Thnx

You could try the an update.zip for your region. When you first turn it on go into recovery and try to install the zip twice in a row. It should switch partitions for you.
