v6.4 up :) one-click R5A root!
yeah and i freaking compiled the binary! so proud!
;)

just a small question, wasn't there a notice that there is also something "wrong" with the recovery, so that custom zip's cannot be flashed? just interested if this is solved by only rooting? (because i guess not) do i have to/can i reflash the recovery partition?

yeah, great job my friend ;)
about recovery - unfortunatelly its one-way ticket - we can't downgrade recovery, where adb is disabled (no custom zip flashing), even with root.

is the recovery partition locked by the bootloader or why can't we just reflash from within running system?
you can look into flasher bat how hidden.img flashing works - it writes via dd hidden.img - but recovery can't be flashed directly. firstable it writes hidden.img, and after reboot, device verifies if the hidden.img is valid - also compares version if its newer than current, and finaly flashes. Thats why no downgrade is possible.

Condi, I was wondering what if you could use the flash_image binary from busybox to flash the recovery in Android Terminal Emulator.

Can someone upload the recovery.img from Release1a Sony Tablet S?

Thx a lot !
It makes me a little less sad since we'll never experience JB on tablet S...

Weird thing : System proposes me a new update. I suppose I have to deny it ?
