[Q] Tablet stuck durring boot, need help please

[eismaus]

Help, my tablet does not boot.

Today, my tablet froze while I've seen a video, it stopped responding to input. I waited about half an hour, if something happened, because this was not, I pressed the reset button.
And now the tablet hangs on boot at the Sony logo.

In early May, before the ICS update in germany came out, I did the US update via Condis tool, rooted and installed initd support to mount the SD card on boot. Then I disabled the Automatic Updates and never run another update.

From time to time, i made an Titantium backup, but but otherwise the root access was unused.

I have now tried it with another reset, no success.
While I still have access to the recovery, a factory reset does not help either.
Ihave not tried to flasch yet because I no longer have acces to the needed file.

Who can help me, how do I get to run the tablet again?
If necessary I do without root.

Thanks for your help

I would try to flash an update. You can now root ICS anyway and then restore wth TB.

Look in my signature update link. There is ICS R1A and R5 for US, either of those will do. Be aware that R5 upgrades the recovery so we can no long make custom ROM's thoug (using AIO).

Good luck

Thanks for the links, i download the files at the moment and will try this.
Just to make sure i understand you correctly, the r1a is rootable the r5 is not?

Update: Ok, i tried both files, but i got an error:
Erohibit update as a result of checking version or base sku

They are both decryptable. Well were for me anyway. But once you flash R5 the recovery changes and you can no longer pre-root future installs.

I have not found a way to restore original recovery.

As for the update failed, try the Germany files also as the region may be still on that.

If still not working, please use adb pull (while in recovery, after failed update) and post file here.
