Is it possible to remove the mods (return to default) without unrooting and factory reset?
I see some of the tweaks return to default when i run them again, but what about Increase SD/extSD read speeds,Install gps-fix mod, Install init.d support, Install "rescue-backdoor"?

If it is written to the files and you have R5A which was not pre rooted then you are out of luck unless you can boot to the other system partition then you can flash both partitions with that.

I would like to return my xts to stock to resell it. I did the rescue backdoor but I don't get a notification of an update. Check for update shows software up to date. Any ideas how to get the update.zip file?

If the backdoor just decreases the SKU by one then will it be possible to decrease it much more until it matches the SKU list in the Sony OTA zip so you can downgrade or something?

That makes a lot of sense. I think I had to run the backdoor like 3 times (on the XTS) before it prompted me for the firmware up grade. Do you think there is any harm in runnig it multiple times? Or do you think it could be run too many times?

Na, all it does is change the SKU value, no SKU value would be registered has '0'.
I assume that the other two times did not either write correctly or the OTA Updater failed to check the SKU automatically.

Where can we find the custom roms for Sony Tablet S?
Unfortunately the bootloader is locked so the are not custom roms yet... It seems like $ony has no intention of unlocking the bootloader and further claim that they cannot do it... but, there are developments taking place which could allow for custom roms in the future (see the development thread regarding the safestrap). I dont think the developer has the STS, and is currently looking for someone with an STS and good linux knowledge. So if you meet these requirements please contact him and let`s see if we can make this device live to its potential.

This is jelly bean release 2. If you wanna root, don't update. Wait until devs find a root method, If you don't want root, just update.

Hi Cat, I get Bluechip driver installed, MTP installed. from Bluechip's adb I can connect to tablet, - adb devices can find tablet but from AIO still said ADB server is out of date, ADB command cannot talk to tablet. can you give any help. thanks in advance:rolleyes:

Unfortunatelly I am having unrooted R5A
Do "adb kill-server", do "adb start-server" making sure that nothing is using adb.exe from anywhere.
If you get some new looking errors then Droid Explorer is the problem.

AiO has its own copy of adb.exe and may be a different version than the one supplied by Bluechip, but that doesn't matter. What does matter is that if you are already running one adb.exe, you must stop (kill) it before running the other adb.exe. The command for stopping adb.exe is adb kill-server.
