OK...now that I have been reading in this forum for the last 2 hours...and y eyes are crossed and my brain throbbing.

I have the SONY TABLET S (non-XPERIA). I got it used/new Sept 29 (my birthday present to myself). I love it. I waited 2 weeks to take the update it kept nagging me to take to 4.0.3 (r5). NOW I REGRET I DID. Lost many of my favorite things..

I want to get it back to the 4.0.3 that was on it. I have tried everything.

I was directed to this forum and I have downloaded S.onyTablet.S__ALLinONE__v4.1.7z . I extracted to C:\ROOT_SONY and left the folders intact (Windows 7 Pro (x86)). I used an elevated CMD prompt to run the S.onyTablet.S.Bat file and following everything that I have read - started in STEP 1.

Plugged the USB cable into the table. Win7 recognizes it, and then I hit 1 on the batch menu. Told me to press ENTER to ROOT the device. Says allow 3 minutes+ to complete. I left it sitting well over 14 minutes and it never left the screen:

[*] FULLY AUTOMATIC - ROOT SHOULD TAKE ABOUT ~ 3min 10s.
[*] Press enter to root your tablet...
[*]
[*] Waiting for device...
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *

I pressed CTRL+C and ended the batch.

So then I tried to start with STEP 3.

I copied the signed-nbx03_001-ota-120803002.zip file that I downloaded form this forum to the __to_be_signed folder and nothing worked. So then I said....well it is signed already, copied it to the __signed folder. Again....nothing.

I tried renaming the file to UPDATE.ZIP and placing in the ROOT of the CD card (which is blank BTW, except for a LOST.DIR folder which SONY puts on then when it mounts the card.

Booted into the RECOVERY TOOL - told it restore UPDATE FROM SD CARD. It started the process and failed because the version on the tablet is higher than the update.zip file.

So, here I am -- hoping that someone can tell me how to use either the AIO Tool and the file for the pre-release5 to get my tablet back to the 4.0.3 version I had (don't really care about ROOT) - just want to go back, or by using some other method to accomplish the same feat.

Thanks to all in advance.

I tried to create decrypted Update.zip with AIO 4.1. It creates _hack-recovery.zip and pulls it to my sd. But then AIO 4.1 closes and my Tablet powers off. I bought my tablet in Germany but I changed my region to US when ICS-Update was available there and flashed it. When I now install the update OTA and then root again with this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 would it work?
Try to avoid 4.1 it is a bit buggy. Use 4.0 instead. You van root r5 with that method. Just note that r5 changes the recovery so you can no longer use the AIO method. For more info see my FAMILY in sign

Hi, I am located in Indonesia, and I can't find my ICS firmware for Sony tablet S1, which should I go with? please help thank you
Hi all updates are located at my thread here. It may not be under the same name. If you can install a file manager from Google Play and look in the file /system/build.prop for HoneyComb or /vendor/vendor.prop in ICS and look at the nbx03_0XX. Match this number to the update link and download that one.

Please let me know the number and I will add Indonesia to the list

Found a quirk :
I was trying to use menu 3,1 (Create decrypted update zip) using newest AIO tool v4.1

The german error should translate to "syntax error, cannot use 1 in there."

Code:
Saving to: `files/_hack_recovery.zip'

Hi Sti,

I can only see nbx03_036 will that suffice? which should I download? so I can start rooting my tablet :)

Do not use 4.1 version
The last good working version is 4.0

Does anybody know if the "Fake as other Device" is still working for the latest version of the Play Store? I've faked as every other device but still can't persuade Play to let me download my purchased Plants vs. Zombies.

Thanks for any help.

Condi, thanks for your awesome work. I was wondering if you had any plans to edit the AIO tool to work with the Xperia tablet s. If so, I think the most important feature (if any) would be getting rescue backdoor to work. Anything you could do would be greatly appreciated.

So far I couldn't understand one thing.
I have the Sony Tablet S1. Last month I did an OTA update to official ICS R1a.
Can I use this tool to root and change region to get the R6 update?
