Unfortunately, OTA RootKeeper will not work. I took a chance and tried, now I am stuck without root until a new exploit is found.

Hello bandrea15
I'm not sure how to identify the correct rom as Condi told me to use that one and it worked. I'm guessing it is somewhere on Sony's servers.
It may help if you put your device into bootloader mode and then try to use Condi's rom or the hack_recovery one. Then once it has failed run adb pull /tmp when connected to the computer and post the log here which should contain the region and model details and someone may be able to work out the correct rom for you.
So i'm trying this but there is nothing happening after the "installation" from the _hack_recovery zip the first time. How long do I have to wait, reboot or something?
I tried it last friday but didn't have enough time at that moment. But that step worked without any problem.

Hello

I dint read condi's instruction prior to the update and got my 3g tab updated to official usa ics firmware by changing the region
After upgrading I lost my root as well as 3g

How can I run adb? is possible in recovery mode?condi's tool says no device found...
This is encouraging. I'm rebooting and rewiping repeatedly. Hopefully it will break through one time.

I cant use the fix, not working for me, I put it in the PC in the All in One directory run it and after that I run the AIO tool, still red screen telling about is not rootable.Attached fix working one, the last one had to be changedunpack to AiO directory, run, done.
Remember to have correct (new) drivers for ICS ADB!

Thank you.
A quick question ... since the update I have a issue with the led notification LED.
I don't know why but often the red LED (low battery) is blinking without a understandable reason. Do only I have this issue or can someone of you confirm this?
Is there a setting or something else to switch this notification off?

And why are you trying this? What you trying to fix using this.?.
condi, I just love your work, I just bought you a cold drink since I don't drink
also as a cheer to help us find a root for the OTA ICS
since I don't drink also as a cheer to help us find a root for the OTA ICS
I lost the root in the process, and now Iam trying to root again, I followed all the steps, including rooting and signing, now I am in 4.03 but without root.
Thanks

Thank you very muchcondi, I just love your work, I just bought you a cold drink

My wife also does not drink, for next 3(/9) months for sure she cant BTW guys - some news regarding 'ICS rescue-backdoor' and region changer after ICS flash:
1) 'rescue-backdoor' for ICS is built-in in custom zip made with AiO, everything is correct, it looks that in new firmware there is one new condition in order to get ota notifications. Update app checks for vendor.prop values, AND ALSO for region.zip. OTA notifications can be achieved, only when vendor.prop values are corresponding with region.zip. In other words vendor.prop values needs to be for the same region as in /configs/region.zip - device region.
2) regarding region changer after ICS flash - strange, but for me it works just great. I've changed several times region in my device with ICS on it
I've made US custom prerooted ICS with built-in polish region, flashed it with polish region already.
If you want to check if OTA notifications are working correctly, then just if you have changed region to US -> change vendor.prop values to nbx03_001 and ota will be shown.
Lets summarize ICS update - for now ~1400 downloads, and few bricks, 10? more? 3 of them has been fixed already. Lets say that maybe 20 - its 0,0143%.
About bricks - the only situation I can help - when there is any proper /configs/region.zip on the device. There were few cases, when I saw from recovery.log error about opening region.zip - not exists.. This looks like that:
Code:
Verifying update package...
I:comment is 1465 bytes; signature 1447 bytes from end
I:whole-file signature verified against key 0
I:verify_file returned 0
Checking version is passed, 1 -> 111201009
minzip: file is empty
minzip: Map of '/configs/region.zip' failed
Fail to open /configs/region.zipThe only solution for now is warranty.
I have no idea how could this be possible, it looks that MAYBE there is some variant/revision of the device which can be bricked? OR MORE POSSIBILITY - just a pure user mistake?
I cant predict more, without all the revelant data, details.
Also its very hard to say what caused that, because AiO has got checks, which are looking for backed up region.zip file if its empty or not (correct one).
Another thing about bricks - I'm making a list of most common firmwares, which can fix your device (thanks to built-in ICS rescue-backdoor by me
) - but of course there got to be not-damaged region.zip on the device!Another scenario which came through my mind - when region is going to be changed - new region is being copied to /data/local/tmp, maybe that few cases where caused by not enough free space?
-- I've almost done implementing check for the free space, for the size of region.zip on the device in few locations in the code, before device reboot - this could save user from getting a brick.
Next thing is that every user who is not familiar with all the flashing custom rom thing, then just check first post, there are few youtube videos there made by me, which shows step by step how it should look! It would be good to spend a few minutes more and learn how it should looks.

Condi,
I would very much appreciate any assistance in unbricking my device. I'm on a US device, and I have years of experience with rooting and custom roms on Android devices. I was also very careful in following you procedure on Saturday morning.
What can I provide to help you help me? I've never pulled a log from within recovery, so please let me know what I need to do to get that.
I'll happily donate for any progress you can help me make.
Thanks.

Same situation, tablet bricked after try to update http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1622939
I hope to help to solving problem.
If that won't flash, then you're probably looking at either a corrupted region.zip or your ro.sony.build.incremental value hasn't been decremented. Can you pull tmp/recovery.log and post the contents?E
Installation aborted.
will this work with unrooted ICS? as I have changed region & updated to US official ICS!
No, recovery will not accept a lower version without edits that require root to make. You're stuck pending a new root vulnerability.
