it took me a little time to compile it (since i cannot read everything on the website, perhaps there is a precompiled binary) but after that i think i got temporary root

Code:
[0|08:40|[email protected]|~/android_run_root_shell/libs/armeabi>
$ adb push run_root_shell /data/local/tmp
[0|08:40|[email protected]|~/android_run_root_shell/libs/armeabi>
$ adb shell
[email protected]:/ $ cd /data/local/tmp
[email protected]:/data/local/tmp $ id
uid=2000(shell) gid=2000(shell) groups=1003(graphics),1004(input),1007(log),1009(mount),1011(adb),1015(sdcard_rw),3001(net_bt_admin),3002(net_bt),3003(inet),3006(net_bw_stats)
[email protected]:/data/local/tmp $ ./run_root_shell                               
failed to open /dev/diag due to No such file or directory.
Attempt perf_swevent exploit...
writing address is 8e09
[email protected]:/data/local/tmp # id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root)
so i got temporary root...with that i could remount the system partition, copy busybox and su to /system/xbin and Superuser.apk to /system/app, so i guess i am rooted again, thanks for the nice work!

if anyone wants i can create a zip with all needed files and a linux bash file for installing.

that's a bit vague, okay, but after doing a complete Titanium Backup on my Sony Tablet P, i gues i can say for sure, yes i have root

Yes, I want - and I think many other users also. :)

It would be nice if you would provide the needed files. Maybe you can describe in short words what you exactly did.

i posted a zip package below jumper62s post*, which contains all needed files and a little readme file, which explains what to do, since he didn't post any binaries and you have to compile this stuff before you can use it, i guess it's kind of useful for a lot of people out there.....but it could be that i have to delete it, if he wants me to

I just rooted my Sony Tablet with Android 4.0.3 R5A

I justed wanted to tell it here also - I think it's better to continue the following discussion in the other (linked) thread.
