my ics not root ,i want back to 3.2.1
thx:laugh:
my tablet recovery.log

No way back sorry. You incremental is 120510011 which is default for your ICS so you CAN NOT flash back until root is available for ICS. You are stuck with ICS for now.

Nope, still waiting for an ICS root.

Then only way is from HC and pre-rooting ATM.

Dear all,

I have a problem installing prerooted ICS. I am still on rooted HC (german).
When I start AiO-Tool and follow the instructions it works for a moment, then switches off the tablet AND the AiO-Tool... Don't know why... Due to the fact that AiO-Tool closes I cannot see what is on the screen...
For my luck I can restart the tablet without problems...
Someone knows this problem or could tell me how to solve it?

Thank you and kind regards

I had the same problem, I received my tablet from sony service, they put again 3.2 firmware (I dont know how they can downgrade without problems) and put my region back. I installed 3.2 and 3.2.1 root, and when I tried to used AIO 4.1 it closes all the time after hack (install.zip) creation.

I used the AIO 4.0 and then I had not any problems, of course I clean the sd and make a wipe to avoid any problem.

Anyone find a solution where AIO closes after update.zip creation? It's happening to me as well I'm prerooted on HC and want ICS. Thanks!

i had the same issue. i logged the output. the _submenu_custom_rom.bat script (in the files folder) seems to error out while displaying the following lines:

files\adb shell "su -c '/system/xbin/busybox mv /mnt/sdcard2/_hack_recovery.zip /mnt/sdcard2/install.zip'"
files\adb shell "su -c 'reboot -p'"
echo [*]**************************************************************[*]
echo [*] DEVICE POWERED OFF.                                          [*]
echo [*]**************************************************************[*]
echo [*] NOW ENTER RECOVERY MODE =  hold vol-up, and push power       [*]
if not %flashmode% EQU 1 (if not "%fwversion%" == "4.0.3" (echo [*] Go to update, and choose "install.zip"                       [*]) else (echo [*] _hack_recovery.zip will be automatically done,               [*] && echo [*] just wait for complete - it will fail - thats ok!            [*])) else (if not "%fwversion%" == "4.0.3" (echo [*] Go to update, and choose "install.zip"                       [*]))
echo [*]**************************************************************[*]
echo.

i just edited the script and removed all the condition checking and modded it to:

files\adb shell "su -c '/system/xbin/busybox mv /mnt/sdcard2/_hack_recovery.zip /mnt/sdcard2/install.zip'"
files\adb shell "su -c 'reboot -p'"
echo [*]**************************************************************[*]
echo [*] DEVICE POWERED OFF.                                          [*]
echo [*]**************************************************************[*]
echo [*] NOW ENTER RECOVERY MODE =  hold vol-up, and push power       [*]
echo [*] Go to update, and choose "install.zip"                       [*]
echo [*]**************************************************************[*]
echo.

this stopped AIO from crashing. Obviously the edit above changes what you see on the screen, but i followed the procedure mentioned in this thread and it let me complete the upgrade to ICS (root)

Thanks Condi for your work on this tablet.

PS: am back at XDA after 4 years! this community is awesome!

That sounds really great! Due to the fact that I am new on Computers, could you maybe provide me with your edited file? That would be great!
Did you also upgrade from HC? Could you maybe in a short way explain the differences to this tutorial?

1. Download ICS FIRMWARE,
2. Copy it to external SD,
3. Run v4.0 AiO - goto 'Custom Rom' submenu, choose 'Decrypt Update' function,
(after it will copy decrypted update, device will reboot and again it will be copied to PC - be patient!)
4. Follow AiO tool instructions,
5. Choose YES for add root etc.,
6. Choose YES for sign new custom update
(JAVA required - if you dont have, then install it, and manually run 'Sign' function),
7. Choose YES for flashing new custom update
8. Wait for finish

I would be so much thankful if you could help me/ us! :victory:

sure. i have attached the file to this post. rename to .bat and replace the one in the /files folder.

i was at 3.2.1 rooted before i started the following.

about the procedure:
1. ensure that your tablet is recognized both in normal boot and while in recovery. check using device manager. if the drivers arent there for either mode, the process will not work
2. formatted a external SD card
3. downloaded the ICS firmware from the link provided in OP
4. copied the downloaded firmware to the SD card
5. inserted the card, booted tablet into normal mode
6. started the aio bat (using 'run as admin' just to be safe!)
7. go into 'custom ROM' menu
8. select decrypt update (this takes a while)
9. towards the end it shows pushing install.zip to the external card (this is where it was crashing, but ideally shouldnt if you have replaced the script attached, instead the window will just pause)
10. the device powers off
11. boot into recovery
12. update using install.zip
13. after it fails, update using the ICS zip you have on the external)
14. this will start the copying of the image (to the PC) after it is decrypted)
15. once you get here, the procedure is pretty straight forward, just follow the on screen guidance

remember, in the end, i had to update using the install.zip and then the custom zip to be able to upgrade

lemme know if you have any other questions.

 

[mikajo]

I think that's a great explanation with good hints!
One further question at the moment:

11. boot into recovery
12. update using install.zip
13. after it fails, update using the ICS zip you have on the external)

After it fails, do I have to boot into recovery again or do I have only to choose the ICS zip (I think this is the original stock rom?!)

Thank you so

no rebooting in recovery required. after install.zip fails, just choose to update again and this time, select the zip you had downloaded from the link provided in OP. When the process starts you will see activity on the AIO window.

similarly, at the very end, you will again need to try install.zip and when it fails, you will flash the custom zip WITHOUT rebooting recovery or normally.

actually Condi had already fixed the issue with the script a day back! :good: just that i didn't look in the general section anyway, i would recommend that everyone uses his method instead of my workaround.

Great job

Condi et ALL

Great job - just another happy rooted ICS.
It has been quite difficult though, and things got fixed while I was trying, but finally everything 's fine.
Interesting enough but I bricked my Sony S and had to send it back to service. I was sure I'll get it back on stock ICS, but no, it was HC 3.2.
Actually it wasn't really bricked by me, I simply upgraded to ICS and then read that I was "out of luck" ;-( since no root was available for the stock ICS.
Then the tablet started behaving erratically, I tried to restore it to factory, and then it crashed - stayed in SONY black screen for ages. They said they had to change the motherboard.

So I've got another chance, and this time ICS rooted is working just fine.

Pampers or beer, your call Condi

Condi!
Thanx a lot. Now I have SonyP with rooted ICS. Sent to you some $ for baby's pumpers.
Good luck!

 

[condi]

Dear condi!
Could you add region for tab P - RU (Russia)? I will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
P.S. When I try to flash _hack_recovery.zip from recovery i got a message of version incompatibility with base sku.

All I need is region.zip from your stock decrypted_update.zip - get it from some 2755xxxx directory and send it to me.
Gonna add your region to AiO
