S.onyTablet.S v6.5 [ALLinONE] - new: Update OEM Apps! automatic ICS ROOT!, JB ROOT!

Kernel 10

I got my tablet back from Sony today. New motherboard and reimaged hard drive. I was excited to root and install ICS.

I plugged it in, made sure adb was working and popped open the AiO tool. Hit root and got an error that my device is unrootable.

I just looked, and I have kernel 10. Am I locked out, or is there something I can do?

Android 3.2
Kernel version 2.6.36.3 Build10 #1

Thanks.

You need to flash 3.2.1r2 before you can root it (assuming your device is set to US region). That build is vulnerable to the root exploit, while the older 3.2 build is not.

Are you 3.2 or 3.2.1 if you are 3.2 then you should be able to download update (be carefull this maybe k10 aswell) there are some rootable builds on these forums, what is your region etc.

Edit: quiksilver, you bet me to it lol

Upgrade to 3.2.1

 

[ejchis]

Thanks, All. It is just 3.2, so I'll update and try again.

Use a known safe one off this forum if you can... I think it is on page 1 of this thread

still same fail

I have re-tried to ics update with AiO tool. still getting to same stage and still having same fail :- that is when it asks if you would like to add rescue backdoor and add root and i type y, it starts fine, says it is doing its thing, then after a few mins it quickly flashes a few lines of info then promptly closes the AiO tool.

Still no ideas. I did re-install the adb drivers and tablet is connected fine, java is fine, region is U.S. so i am stumped. it has done this same fail 11 times now.

Have you put it in the root directory?

As in C:\*files here*

I'm having an issue too. When I do the step to create decrypted update.zip it starts, but after it does the daemon started successful it just flashes some text and goes back to the sub menu.

attached is how far it goes before it resets

You're probably having issues because Sony took down signed-nbx03_001-ota-incremental-0042.001-from0035.001.zip, which is used by AiO to run an adb shell in recovery. AiO wants that file as files\_hack_recovery.zip to push to the sdcard, and it tries to pull it from Sony's update server if it doesn't exist. It can no longer do so.

so did i just miss out or is there another way around? or is it just wait until the AiO tool can do it again?

If you already have signed-nbx03_001-ota-incremental-0042.001-from0035.001.zip (_hack_recovery.zip) on your sdcard or you can acquire it and place it there, you could edit the script to skip that part of the process. The md5 is A765850992B93A49FE7DF0E32656136F.

I do already have it on the sd card, but I dont know where or how to edit the script

You could just copy it from the sdcard to your AiO files directory and away you go.

To edit the script you would edit files\_submenu_custom_rom.bat. Look for ":hackv2" on line 326. Add a new line below: "goto:hackbelow". It should look like this afterwards:

:hackv2
goto:hackbelow
files\wget -O files/_hack_recovery.zip http://info.update.sony.net/ST002/n...001-ota-incremental-0042.001-from0035.001.zip

Can you please be more specific? What recovery part? What .zip file? On where?

when i need to apply the _hack_recovery.zip

 

[quiqsilver]

Do you mean to say that _hack_recovery.zip isn't in the list of update files on your tablet in recovery?

 

[earni]

Do I need to change the region before I flash the update to ics In the 1st post?
