Hi guys,
ALL CREDITS OF ROOT GOES TO djrbliss,
ORIGINAL THREAD HERE
I've been working alllll day and allll night long,
to make some modifications to great djrbliss's tool:
to eliminate problems like 'com.pwn.me' error etc.
timing is correct,
it goes fully automatic,
disabling mpt device automatically, and reenabling,
modded to work on 64 and 32bit systems,
(tested on winxp 32bit, win7 64bit).
etc etc...
Remember to have correct MTP driver installed!
Please post results if it works for you

Nice work, i've been stocking on run-as error for times, and this script works to my tablet just one time. Many thanks.

---

It works, thanks a lot. SET-CPU is sctive now on my sony tablet s.

---

Can I ask what MPT is please?
Do I simple extract your zip file and run it, even if it's already rooted?

---

I guess it was a Typo and shoud be "MTP"

Yes you can run on already rooted device - it will reapply root without problems.

I didn't lose anything when I applied this.
I am pretty sure that your account data will be ok.
If in doubt just back up what you want.

Hello,
Just dropping by to say hello and that this thread has been featured on the XDA Portal
http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...vailable-on-a-fully-automated-windows-script/

---

Worked like a charm! Thank you sir!
Sent from my SGH-T959 running ICS.

---

Where are the instructions?

---

Congratulations!!!

It didn't work for me. The problem is I can't seem to install the supplied driver. Tablet S appears twice in the device manager, and I can't install the driver, it gives me a code 28 error.

As a result when I start the batch, I get the following and hangs there without doing anything.
[*] Waiting for device...
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
Any advice how to get the driver correctly installed?

Ok, I had to remove Google USB driver, and reinstall it through SDK Manager. Also used this document to correctly install the ADB driver...

Just FYI if anyone gets stuck trying to install the driver...

Are there any potential issues when ICS update arrives?

Hmmm... potential issues? I think no. When ICS update will be available, then when you flash it - you will just loose root. We could try OTA RootKeeper, but I don't know if it will work with our tabs. Gotta try with normal/present ota update - and I will let you know.

Here, I was affraid even to root it. LOL
It's where a pro becomes a noob. ...when getting a new device....

I studied the source code of OTA root keeper today and it looks very interesting.
On the first view it should work on our tab and I guess it could save the root rights when ICS will arrive via OTA.
Supercurio used a very good trick (old linux command) to protect the su-backup file on a ext2/3/4 file system. The create a backup of su under /system/ with the name su-backup and protect the attributes with the 'chattri' command. Due to this fact, the OTA update will be not able to change something of this file. I am looking forward for ICS update next month and hope I am right.
