Ok, i finally rooted my chinese sgpt111cn that was on stock ics.
Now i still can't get google accounts even after changing region to Us.
Did someone try to downgrade from chinese stock rooted ics to US honeycomb?
Do you think it's risky?
I can't wait for my chinese tablet to finally become fully usable!!!
Thanks for your advices...

Have you tried to use AIO to install modded Play Store??
yes of course, no luck
seems the chinese version of the market HiMarket is not replaced and I don't find a trace of the moded market after reboot, even though Aio says everthing went well...
I also tried copying it myself with root ES explorer, but even that doesn't work. It seems the chinese version lacks the google service framework as well, so I copied and installed it... no luck.
There are so many difference between the chinese and US ICS, I think the only way is to flash a new fm...
or wait until 4.0.4 so that I don't risk a downgrade, unless someone already found a solution to change a rooted chinese stock ICS to a US one ?
You will need root but...yes of course, no luck

Region changer should work. Change to US then reinstall US zip...
yes that's what I'm doing, I changed the region and got the zip (signed-nbx03_001-ota-120803002)
now it's stuck because I need to change vendor prop and decrease the build # I guess.
I'll try that and let you know how this works, what could go wrong anyway ?
worst case I'll end up with US ICS unrooted and will root again with the new method that worked on my chinese 4.0.3 r1a
I'm using Aio 4.0 btw, and disable hack_recovery download from sites.google because the shell could not connect, I don't know why...
I was able to download it through browser and put it locally myself anyway. all the rest if ok until the bad sku #, so vendor prop change should do the trick !
can someone tell me exactly what values to change to be able to downgrade in the prop files (vendor/build) ?
if I mess up those files, do I risk brick my tablet ?
Last edited:
Vendor.prop change incremental to 111104048. default aio incremental, I think. This cant brick tab But the region.zip can, tread with caution. After that AIO should a work with region changer.
Finally a root method that works!
Perfect - Thanks so much! This method worked and now I have a ROOTED Sony Tablet S running ICS.
