info.update.sony.net/ST005/nbx03_024/contents/0010/signed-nbx03_024-ota-120803056.zip

when I turn on my tablet into recovery mode and selected choice 2 [ update system from sd card ]

it prompt several text as below

-- Install /sdcard ...
Finding update package...
Desklunvr update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:prohibit update as a result of checking version or base sku
Installation aborted.

and other question is can I use other android version which is not china wifi only ?

and here is my tablet, I got my tablet in china

what I want to know is

- I want to flash my tablet's android version to somewhere else which is not from china [ I don't like some of its built-in apps], can I do it with my tablet?
- If I want to flash it as I said above, am I have to root it first ?

I am new for an android devices, so thanks for telling me

flash from sd card need:
1,same regain
2,rom version num. > old(not =)

your tab is 4.0.3 r1a,so can't "update" to r1a

if you want change regain,
1, root
2,change regain with "all in one" tool
2,update to a biger number(or crack version number & flash)

ps,不喜欢内建程序,可以root后干掉,同理可以补回阉割程序

So from what you said is
I have to download the "china" one right ?
but I don't understand
2,rom version num. old(not =) is this mean I have to update it with higher one , so that mean I need 4.0.3r5a and it is have to be "china" am I right

and another question is

can I root my tablet right now with 4.0.3r1a , kernel 10


thanks

ps. I am not Chinese, I'm Thai so I try to translate it with google but just make it harder to understand ,,, hahaha

"rom version num. old(not =)" means the Android version you are wanting to update to must be newer than the one you already have installed. The Android version cannot be older than or equal to the one you already have installed.

You can root Android 4.0.3r1a kernel 10. READ THIS THREAD. I greatly recommend you read the entire thread before attempting the root method.

I have already read this thread, but the problem is I never done anything like this before and I never play around with cmd

actually I have no idea what it is and how to type in any command that he said,,,but thanks you anyway I will try to find out how to do that

and I will also try the other one [ bin4ry] as well !!

thanks

Now, I have tried Bin4ry's

which is this thread

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460

but it comes up like this

so anyone know what does this mean and is it rooted ?

I didn't see superuser in my tablet [ I find it in apps page ] I only see terminal Emulator in my tablet
No root, those scripts .sh[1], .sh[2] etc should run and not fail like that. Have you tried a rollback?? Special > Rollback
