Seeing as though I have a bricked device, would anyone be willing to get hold of their UK firmware when released through condi's instructions?
I'm running the 16gb Wifi version - begging you all! Please

Condi has just posted he's having a look at the ICS update tonight. Hopefully I'll be able to follow his instructions, download ICS and run a backup. If I do, I'll send the FW to mediafire or something and PM you a link.
You never know, Condi might be able to provide a generic update for everyone?
Maydo but not if my device is bricked I wouldn't have thought?
Appreciate if you could do that for me.

I received a notification to upgrade to ICS 4.03, is this safe without lost root.
At present if you update you will lose root....

curious where you bought your tablet?
I have a US 32gig model and I'm not getting the OTA.

Why?
Is there anyone that can confirm a successful update to ICS and show us some screenshots?
Is there a way for us to get our ICS before they'll push it to our region? Can there be problems installing this zip on an other region? If that is possible.
I Tried to change my region to Mexico with all in one tool and i got a update notification for an older firmware version... but i don't want to risk to loose root forever... decrypting, costomize and resigning with All in One tool didn't work and i'm not able to flash the update with root...
As far as I know no one revived this update really. The only sign for ICS is the broken link in the upper right of the Sony select web app in some countries like Mexico.
Was this a fake post?
As soon as no one confirm a successful download or provide some screenshots & a functional link it seems it was an early bird.
The German blog mobiflip.de posted this as a news. Lol

No, I don't think so. When you look at selectApp-Website in Mexico there is the notification for ICS-Update. So it must come very very soon.
Condi posted a tutorial, how to do the update:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24563264&postcount=228
But how to download the OTA-Update and how to decrypt it after region change?
I think like the same way as before with the aio change region, use download zip in aio and decrypt + root.

Ok, so first I need to run "Run OTA ZIP autodownloader"?! And then? What options do I need to select?
First you have to modify your region to Mexico and than download ota.
I know But after I downloaded the rom through the script, how to decrypt the ROM? Does the Script also download the OTA when there is no Notification for an update? A lot of questions
No it doesn't. The download happens on the device. I you have installed rescue backdoor you have to modify your build prop again as condi says.

U want ICS update? no, the first release is US device,if u want to ICS u must change u region
Use condi's aio. Tool and root ur 3.2.1 honeycomb firmware and change ur. Region to usa and u will get the official usa ics firmware
I have done this on my uk tab and running ics. so pretty sure it can be done on urs also
But after upgrading to ics plz dont chnnge the region back to italy it will brick ur device let the region be of usa only
Hope this helps

I have a uk 16gb wifi only sony s
Is it quite straightforward to do?
Or will the uk version b out soon?
I still have no info regarding the uk release of ics
Yeah its kinda starightforward to do but one thing after u do it u cannot change ur region back to uk if u change ur region back to uk it will brick ur device
U need to be in usa region itself until there is some exploit for it in near future
Thanks for the quick reply, I only got it at the weekend so I will play with it for a while and see if ics comes out for uk soon
Don't want to risk a brick just yet though I am keen on getting ICS
Cool device though
Ciao!
ICS isn't been released in europe yet..I updated mine via condi's tool 2.7 flawlessly.. if you simply change your region,you'll lose root for the moment. I suggest to update soon because ICS is much way better!
Sony Italy doesn't know that ICS for Tablet S was released. You can use condi's AiO tool, but read all the instruction in the post. Not avaible for now for 3G model, only wifi

Hello, I just received this reply from ASUS:
Thank you for contacting ASUS Service Care.
I'm sorry to tell that there will be no Jelly Bean (4.1) update released for JP SKU.
And it's impossible to install the update of other district onto your machine since it is launched by Japan.
sorry for the inconvenience and hope for your understanding.

Do you think this is true? Should I wait for a possible update or maybe try to change SKU?
Update
So following the guides on this forum I have used to ep201_sdupdate.zip method to update my TF201 JP SKU from V9.4.2.22 (Android 4.0.3) to US SKU V10.4.2.15 (Android JB 4.1.1).
Everything seems to work and I had no problems during the update.
My question now is what happens when Android 4.2 comes out? Will I receive the OTA update for US SKU and be able to update without any problems or should I download it from ASUS.com and use the same sdcard method for all future updates.
Thank you for any advice and I am sorry if this is answered elsewhere. I tried a few searches before I posted this.

Did you need to root prior to this? If so how did you do that? I cant seem to find a way that I can root JP V.22 without a custom recovery.

No rooting required. All you need is a fat32 sdcard and the firmware from asus downloads. Since you are already at V.22 your only choice is to go to Jelly Bean. This method only works with updating.

Thanks so much. It seems to be booting as we speak. Again thanks for the help.
I've tried to find an update for my Sony tablet S to put it on the SD card and then upgrade it form there!
My tablet is freezing at the Sony logo and I've already tried to do a factory reset and it doesnt work. It sais that some files are missing.
And now I want to try to load the update from the SD card and for that i need the update.
I;ve seen here the ICS update zip files for UK for my tablet on some topics here on XDA but when I click them it says that the file is missing.
Any joy? Exactly same tablet exactly the same problem.
