Need help update to R5A - Sony Tablet S

Hi,
I've got one Tablet S1(with 3G) one year ago. (I come from China mainland.)
Considering China version firmwares do not include GApps but I DO need the stuff like play store, contact sync, etc, I change the region code to UK.
Then, I made it updated to R2 and rooted via AIO tool by condi(THANK YOU!)
Now, I want the R5A update. I've downloaded several 3G version stock firmwares but failed to install them.
Everytime the tablet reboots to the recovery attempting to install the update, the whole will be aborted after the verification.
And, it shows "Erohibit update as a result of checking version or base sku" each time.
I've made multiple tries, and failed every time.
Never make it via OTA, AIO tool or flasher by condi. All failed.
Not even I changed the region to China(what it was initially).
What do I do to make an successful update?
P.S. I used to apply something like "hack recovery" or what from the AIO tool, would it break the recovery?

Please try to install UK, then use adb pull /tmp/recovery.log and post here
Probably failing as there are two systems one is UK and the other is Chinese. Using flasher should change both partitions to Poland 3G (i think that is the one)

Rooting and OTA Updates Problem

I have the GT-I9300 international phone, with the New Zealand-based stock ROM installed. I rooted this phone with ODIN straight out of the box (it came on 4.0.4) and the root went fine, CWM worked. However, when I was notified of an available OTA update, no matter how many times I try to install it, the device will reboot into CWM and say that the signature verification has failed.
I have tried to disable this check, but the device seems to "forget" that setting. I've also tried installing the OTA update through Kies, which just gives an "Unknown Error".
Is there any solution to this, to get the update installed?
I'm presuming here that the OTA update is simply an update and not a new firmware version entirely? The download was only 20MB.
Kies is your solution
Or downloading and flashing an updated firmware
OTA doesn't work on rooted phones...
At least it didn't on the ones I used and tried...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
If your phone is just rooted then OTA will work fine, the issue is when you install a custom recovery.
the OTA will fail at the flashing stage because the custom recovery will not be able to flash the OTA image (or the image won't let it).
Options are to use Kies, or better yet, download the rom on your PC and learn to use ODIN which is super easy anyway... and essential if you want to learn the root side of your phone better
Latest Chainfire root supposed to allow OTA .

[Q] Is WW JB Update still available from OTA?

My situation:
.28 Rooted (not unlocked) with a few tweaks such as keyboard and browser2ram.
Tried to JB update via OTA and manual method and got red andy.
Said screw it, took the factory .28 image from asus and loaded it onto my tablet before and after doing a factory reset/data wipe.
So I'm now completely stock and when I check for updates it says not found.
Tried clearing DM and CM CLient as well as cold booting linux [Pow + Vol Dn] and still says "no update found"
So is the WW JB Update still avail or did asus pull it?
Thanks
I'm having the same problem. Can anyone confirm that they have successfully downloaded the JB update OTA in the last few hours?
Happened to me as well, i think after you got red andy once you dont get the ota anymore. I went ahead and used manual upgrade method.

Same problem here. Rooted, locked, stock.
Had the notification bar give me the JB update once, that install failed.
I then checked the f/w update manually, found it, redownloaded it, that install failed.
Now I can no longer get the update via the f/w update checker. (tried many times last night and this morning)
Clouds... is the JB update available to be installed manually? Can you point me in the right direction?

I think the files you want are linked here, but they take an age to download:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1909820
I had a completely stock ICS .28 and got a dead droid (DMClient error). I manually downloaded the .28 from asus put it on a micro sd and it found this on reboot and installed OK. Now I am watching the green bar slooooowwwwwlly download the WW rom. The file has no extension, so I can't tell yet whether it is a blob file or the required zip.

Well, I just finished downloading that file, and whatever it is, and I renamed it as a zip (which it is) and my TFP ignored it. Maybe it needs a specific name to work.
The many of us for which the OTA failed will have to wait for Asus to list the files on their download site.

Alrighty, thanks.
This is the first time I've had any issues with updates, so was/am hesitant to dive in with the suggested workarounds posted in various places... don't know enough about the whole 'adb shell' stuff, etc, and don't want to make things worse.
I'm assuming that manually updating is relatively simple once Asus provides the files.

Hi
I had the same problem with the move from Honeycomb to ICS. The OTA would not do it and I got the red/dead droid. I have tried EVERY method to get Jelly Bean. The first attempt was OTA, and this loaded the file and tried to update but failed. Before I did it I back up root and unrooted. I have made no changes to the core system files. I have tried each method posted and none work. It goes straight to a dead driod. I re-installed .28 from the Asus site and still it would not work.
I shall have to wait until Asus decide that those like me 'deserve' JB and post the manual update files on the download page:
http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_Prime_TF201/#download
Indeed.
Once the update is available there, is a pretty straight forward process? Or does it still require terminal commands, etc?
glad to see i'm not the only one.
Guess i'll have to wait for Asus to post the JB files.
after hearing about some of the bricks I'm patient enough to wait a few more days.

[Q] Tablet stuck durring boot, need help please

Help, my tablet does not boot.
Today, my tablet froze while I've seen a video, it stopped responding to input. I waited about half an hour, if something happened, because this was not, I pressed the reset button.
And now the tablet hangs on boot at the Sony logo.
In early May, before the ICS update in germany came out, I did the US update via Condis tool, rooted and installed initd support to mount the SD card on boot. Then I disabled the Automatic Updates and never run another update.
From time to time, i made an Titantium backup, but but otherwise the root access was unused.
I have now tried it with another reset, no success.
While I still have access to the recovery, a factory reset does not help either.
Ihave not tried to flasch yet because I no longer have acces to the needed file.
Who can help me, how do I get to run the tablet again?
If necessary I do without root.
Thanks for your help

I would try to flash an update. You can now root ICS anyway and then restore wth TB.
Look in my signature update link. There is ICS R1A and R5 for US, either of those will do. Be aware that R5 upgrades the recovery so we can no long make custom ROM's thoug (using AIO).
Good luck

Thanks for the links, i download the files at the moment and will try this.
Just to make sure i understand you correctly, the r1a is rootable the r5 is not?
Update: Ok, i tried both files, but i got an error:
Erohibit update as a result of checking version or base sku

They are both decryptable. Well were for me anyway. But once you flash R5 the recovery changes and you can no longer pre-root future installs.
I have not found a way to restore original recovery.
As for the update failed, try the Germany files also as the region may be still on that.
If still not working, please use adb pull (while in recovery, after failed update) and post file here.

The german file doesn't work.
What exactly do i need to pull?

[Q]Need help update to R5A

Hi,
I've got one Tablet S1(with 3G) one year ago. (I come from China mainland.)
Considering China version firmwares do not include GApps but I DO need the stuff like play store, contact sync, etc, I change the region code to UK.
Then, I made it updated to R2 and rooted via AIO tool by condi:good::good::goodTHANK YOU!)
Now, I want the R5A update. I've downloaded several 3G version stock firmwares but failed to install them.
Everytime the tablet reboots to the recovery attempting to install the update, the whole will be aborted after the verification.
And, it shows "Erohibit update as a result of checking version or base sku" each time.
I've made multiple tries, and failed every time.
Never make it via OTA, AIO tool or flasher by condi. All failed.
Not even I changed the region to China(what it was initially).
What do I do to make an successful update?
P.S. I used to apply something like "hack recovery" or what from the AIO tool, would it break the recovery?

Can't update firmware, please help

Hi all,
I'm trying to update firmware on my Droid DNA. Currently I have firmware version 2.08.605.1, the latest before the last OTA update. Now i want to use RUU to try to update to version 3.06.605.4. It fails with error that I got wrong RUU, but I'm positive it is a correct one, because it shows firmware version. OTA updates are not working, showing me no updates. However, under Software update -> Status I see that the update was rejected by user some time ago. As far as I know there must be an option to install rejected updates, but it simply isn't there. Not sure what to do next. Please, help.

Nevermind now, I resolved the issue by first gaining s-off and then using the alternative method for firmware flash by using adb and fastboot in cle that can be found here on forums easily (latest ota for DNA).
