questions about rooting? - Sony Tablet S

I just brought this in Hk, and i installed the adb drivers etc and tried to use the all in one tool to root, it tells me that my device is currently unrootable?
i've done nothing to the tablet
its running
android version 3.2
kernal version 2.6.36.3
build number 1.10.001100029
i thought that it could be rooted? or am i wrong?

in the kernel version, is it also written kernel10? if so, you may have to upgrade to a newer version of honeycomb. Or you can pre-root the ics version and install that. Dont upgrade to ics through the tablet!!!!

[Q] Rooting my unlocked hero.

Hi all,
I would like to know if I can root my hero,It was originally on the 3 network but is now unlocked (I bought it like this and I am now using my o2 simplicity sim in it).
The Firmware is 1.5 and the software version is 1.0.0.A6288.
If it is possible do I use the unlockr method of doing it? And also what rom update would you guys recommend?
Many thanks
Tony.

When you say root do you mean so you can add other ROMs or do you mean so you can add/remove system files?
More information would be handy go to settings > about > software version and post
Firmware version, Baseband version, Kernel version, Build number, Software number and Browser version.
ok.
Firmware 1.5
Baseband version 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29
Kernal version 2.6.27-430d1aea
[email protected] #983
Build number 2.73.771.73 CL#94055 release-keys
Software version 1.0.0.A6288
I want to be able to install custom roms and add/remove system files etc.
Thanks.
There is my newbie guide in my sig or there is a "1 click method" being discussed in a topic in the dev forum which you might want to look at.

Well first of all your going to need a recovery ROM onto your hero to allow you to install custom ROMS. Some ROMS come with ROOT, Some Don't.
Because you have build 2.73.771.73 you will need to first install the flashrec application and then download a recovery ROM and use flashrec to load it onto your phone. The recovery ROM is the gateway to unlocking your device for maximum potential.

Thanks for your reply,I will try that.
Sorry,but if I do the above procedure using the MODACOPATCHEDRECOVERY 1.0 rom will this mean my hero is then rooted?
Thanks

I have no knowledge of this ROM, but what you can do is ask from where you got it from.

How to upgrade to 2.3.3??? Plz help

Hi..
I m heaving x10i with t-mobile, how can i upgrade to 2.3.3?
Please help.....m new to xda..
Thanks in advance.....
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
You may be new to XDA but at least you posted your question in the right place. A lot of XDAers who behave and sound like they know what they are doing, don't even follow this rule. So don't worry!
Basically there are 2 ways to upgrade to 2.3.3. One is (1) to upgrade through PC Companion, and the other is (2) to flash pre-rooted version of the ROM.
If you have never used a flashtool or never flashed a ROM before, you should probably go the route (1). All you have to do is to install the PC Companion and connect your X10i to the PC. But you have to wait until an update becomes available for your version of installed 2.1 firmware. Here is something you should take a look at. If you happen to be in the legion where no official 2.3.3 is unavailable now, you may still be able to upgrade anyway if you know how to edit build.prop.
Going through the route (2) is a little more complex than (1) but if you read this or/and this carefully it shouldn't be that difficult.
model no x10i
fw version 2.1-update 1
bb version 2.1.54
kernel version 2.6.29 [email protected]#1
build no 2.1.A.0.435
what should i do to update?
Download the flash tool.
Doiwnload the firmware.
Flash.

[Q] Rooting and android version

I just finished running the Odin flash of Chainfire CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG6-v4.1-CWM4.zip, thinking that I will upgrade my firmware to 2.3.4. However after I do the setting checking:
setting > About Phone > Android Version > ???
it still showing 2.3.3??? Is that actually work like that, that when rooting, the firmware is upgraded but it will not show in the setting info?
My CWM clearly already changed to CF-Root 4.1 after I open and check it in CWM Manager.
TIA
custom roms make the upgrades on the android version (if included in their package), not the kernels.
Thanks for the info, really helpful

Yes, it will upgrade your phone to 2.3.4.
I plan to root my SGS2 but have not yet done so. I got the unlocked international edition from Amazon, and it arrived running Android 2.3.3.
Last night I created a Samsung account for myself so that I could upgrade. Then I did upgrade to 2.3.4.
Question: The Wikipedia entry on Android states that the current version of Android for phones is 2.3.6, released on September 2nd.
But when I tried to upgrade again (after having upgraded to 2.3.4) I got a message saying that no further upgrades are available.
I don't have to be on the bleeding edge but would like to at least upgrade to Android 2.3.5 (if there is a 2.3.5).
Why can't I do that (or can I do it)?
(This may in any case be irrelevant when I root -- my understanding of rooting is that to do so replaces the stock firmware, which is the whole point of rooting.)
Perhaps 2.3.5 simply isn't available yet for the SGS2, but that seems odd.

the upgrade version not available to all location all at once. Some still got 2.3.3 firmware upgrade with just patch. Check out sam firmware to know later update of your firmware based on your phone PDA etc.

can someone maybe explain to me, what the whole reason of upgrading to 2.3.4+ is?
because I just did so. I upgraded from my 2.3.3 firmware to the latest XWKI4, from the list of the official firmwares. I hoped that by doing so, I would get the latest and greatest GTalk with video and calling options (v1.3).
But for some reason I have exactly this version, but I can not use this feature. Although the version information under applications reads, that I have 1.3 installed...

XT910 Stuck on 2.3.5

Hi guys,
First of all, I'm not an android tech guru, however I've been searching around on both google and xda developers for some time and haven't been able to find any info on this, and now that ICS is rolling out, I would really love to get this problem fixed.
So here we go:
My phone(XT910) is currently running Android version 2.3.5 and when I go under settings and press System Updates, it says that no update is currently available for my phone. However as far as I can tell it should be able to update to 2.3.6 which has been out for some time. Even after a factory reset, no updates are available. I'm using a Danish carrier called Telia DK.
Here is some information from my system info's panel, hopefully some of might prove useful:
System Version:
651.73.30.XT910.NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU
Model number:
XT910
Android version:
2.3.5
Baseband version:
U_03.1C.85P
Weptop version:
WT-2.0.0-113
Kernel version:
[email protected]#1
Build date:
Wed Dec 7 22:22:14 CST 2011
Hopefully one of you guys will be able to help me I would love to able to try out ICS!

hi,
first of all, i don't really know if there's a NonEFIGS 2.3.6 update for EU. But for Danish usage you could flash your phone to the RETAIL version of 2.3.5
you should do this:
root your phone via ZergRush
flash the RETAIL (use the unbranded en.EU) via RSD Lite (protect root before doing this via OTA Rootkeeper from Play Store)
check for updates
there should be some 2.3.6 update available.
After the 2.3.6 update you're free to update to any eu GSM ICS ROM posted in RAZR DEV section
No ICS in DK or the rest of Europe yet. There's a thread in general.

Thank you so much! I flashed to a EU retail 2.3.6 and then to a EU ICS ROM! It runs SO much better now except the battery drains a bit faster, however I guess thats normal Thank you!

I'm in a similar situation with the phone stuck in NonEFIGS Retail 2.3.5, except I don't live in EU at all
Anyway, I need to do this step too. So you flashed to normal EU retail 2.3.5, update to 2.3.6, then find a EU ICS (which one) and flashed that?
