Can you please take a decent photo of that, i can just barely read build10, but can you get the same sort of photo as you did with the second screenshot? Would be reallly helpful.
Today i accidnetally accepted the lated OTA update but it rebooted halfway through updating and gave "error code 7" when then tablet finished booting.Unfortunately I result in "Erohibit update as a result of checking version or base sku"
Here's my recovery log:

I'm rooted with
Android version 3.2.1 release 2#
Kernel version 2.6.36.3 build 8#1
Build number THMAS0032400
I'm now worried i can't flash any custom roms or even download the official ones(which would clearly suck BIG time)
Any ideas?
Cheers
Hi, seems it might not be exactly the same error as i have region.zip with lots of files and all of them populated as well.
I would recommend rooting first, then you can download the OTA updates and root them with the tool before you actually run the update.Hello everyone!
Noob questions following
Well, I'm used to flashing the hell out of my Android phones, but this is my first tablet (expecting delivery tomorrow), and the rooting / flashing process seems different.
Now, assuming my Tablet S doesn't come with that dread build#10 kernel I read about, should I go ahead and root it right away, with this tool? (big thank you to Condi for his efforts!) Or should I install OTA updates first, hoping I won't end up with a build#10 kernel?
More to the point:
Once I root it, how would I install updated versions afterwards?
I didn't see any custom ROMs posted in this section... does the tool itself install the latest rootable ROM version?
Many thanks in advance!
PS-seems rather silly that Sony lets you unlock the bootloaders for the Xperia line, but they don't allow it for the tablets...
Thanks for that, just what I wanted to know. The instructions in the OP do mention the tool can root OTA updates, just wasn't sure if it can also download them.
I thought the whole rooting problems came from the fact that the bootloader is locked?

ok you have aroused my curiosity....
Hi
Yep, you've quoted another users log, and now everybody thinks that its your problem
So I'm waiting for users creativity Hi condi thanks for your really quick reply and for the tool and all your workYep, you've quoted another users log, and now everybody thinks that its your problem
There might be 2 sources of your problem:
1) ro.sony.build.incremental value is higher than update which you want to flash,
2) or your region is different (/changed/tempchanged) than one in update which you want to flash.
To be sure that your region is proper, just run 'Reigon Changer' function,
and choose your device region. Even if its ok, it will reapply correct one.

rohibit update as a result of checking version or base sku" error that i get but managed to quote the whole log as a result of a few beers lol
