ROOT For the 4 Year Old SONY TABLET S (NOT XPERIA!)

[panzerox123]

Hello everyone! I'm new to the forum and i'm here only to share with you a tip! or maybe many!
So i was looking for a ways to reduce lag on ICS and i stumbled upon a way to root any android device . and i tried it .... I was ready to take the risk on my 3 year old tablet to see if it was worth it... .and it was .....
I don't take any credit for this method of rooting the Tablet S . This is the simpler than all the AiO tools out there . And it can root 4.0.3 rev5A!!!!!! (yes!)
Requirments
Sony Tablet S 16GB/32GB on 4.0.3r5a (Or 3.2 this works with any version above 2.3)
KingRoot App (download link below)
Charger(we dont want to get stuck on a bootloop because we didnt have a charger!)
SD card for backup
RootChecker App if u dont believe me

This method does not require creating a backup... but do it just in case.
Download and install the KingRoot app.
Open the application swipe down till u see Sony Tablet S Root Strategy Found...
Then its pretty simple. just click on the root this device button...
Your device may reboot during the process
and voila! now you have root on your Tablet S

Now, unfortunately you cannot install custom recovery on your device because the bootloader is locked or you cant install custom roms(wish i could) but this post is only for obtaining root ... pls dont criticize me for the above reasons

Also, im not responsible if your device gets bricked ... rooting is a dangerous process and your device is your responsibility . Dont blame me for bricked devices.
I DO NOT TAKE ANY CREDIT FOR THIS APPLICATION! THANK THE CREATOR OF THE APP AND NOT ME!

Another tip ... If your device gets stuck in a bootloop, get into the recovery and do a factory reset. and if that doesnt work... try restarting a few times.

Thanks people!:victory:

Glad it worked! Another tip... Don't try replacing kingroot with superuser... It doesn't work with the tablet... Unfortunately...

SGPT13 (Tablet S)

Hello! Sorry for my spelling errors. I am Brazilian and I'm using Google Translate for this dialogue.

I'm having the following problem: I have a Sony Xperia Tablet S (SGPT131BR / S) and the wifi simply crashed. Already tested in other modems without success. I can connect it only to the smartphone hotspot. The gadget now has a version 4.1.1r2 (Jelly Bean) installed and already efetuei the HARD RESET, but the problem continues.

In Brazil's support, suggested I use the PC Companion software and make a repair update. However, the software only has MPT driver and has no USB debugging. Again, after search and find the driver, I found that this software does not
updates this unit specifically.

The equipment certainly is not damaged (hardware). Step this information based on the fact that it can only connect to mobile hotspots, also the bluetooth is operating normal and finally know that there was no fall when "out of nowhere" he decided to no longer work.

After researching a bit, I believe that the "system update from sd card" available at "Android System Recovery" (the HARD RESET menu), could solve ...

This topic specifically, I found the software to download the front page!
