Hi, so I see that ISC is now available for this tablet. I have my sony tablet s rooted. would upgrading from the tablet kills the root? if so, how do I upgrade while keeping my tablet rooted?
i think so but just to be sure just wait till someone on here got the rooted version of ICS so you can be certain!
You can download ICS and root via Condi's AIO v2.7 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1515720
Good luck,
I am stuck with kernal10 for now.

Hi everybody! I've tried clicking the search button but it's not working for me
How do I root my 0.62 firmware Mini Pro, and will I still be able to get the official ICS release from Sony?
You need to downgrade to .58 firmware, root and then update via OTA so that way youll get a .62 rooted fw, and yes, you'll be able to get ICS update as long as you dont have unlocked bootloader
you are probably new here or havent noticed that, there are now way of rooting .62 yet. the solution is go back to previous or older firmware such as .42, .58 then root will work.
if your phone is rooted, yes you can still update it to ics without unrooting it but the root will probably gone after you update to ics. but no worry about that there already a thread somewhere of how to root ics xperia
Thanks for the input guys, I really appreciate it. I think I'll wait for ICS and then root it. No point going through all that hassle only to have it un-root.
Also, I'm very security conscious and Flashtool seems to contain a virus. I know everybody says it's a false-positive and that the exploit is just needed to get root control over the phone. I can understand that. But what's to stop the developer introducing malicious code for bragging rights or whatever?
I'm not saying they did, I'm just saying that I wouldn't know if they did...
Ok well I want to know if its woth the update to ics? Im running a root version oh honey... everithing running smooth, and I want to know from people that have the ics working good and like I said if itrs worth the update and if it can be rooted yet? Also could u posibly point the way on how to update to ics safely with honeycomb root sony t. S (3.2.1 release 2) @build5 #1 thanks...
I think it is worth the update. ICS still has a few annoying little quirks, but its a lot smoother on the Tablet S and just all around nice to look at.
You can use condi's tool to update to a pre-rooted version of ICS, just make sure you follow the directions very carefully.

You can safely update to unrooted ICS from rooted Honeycomb without any problems, but once you have unrooted ICS you will no longer be able to root your tablet until a new exploit is found. So if you really want root, condi's tool is the way to go when you upgrade to ICS. Good luck!
Hello everybody,
I have a Sony Xperia S Tablet. When Jelly Bean was released and the root method too, I did it on my tablet.
But now, and I dont know why, when I check my tablet is not rooted and I cant update it (I mean if I click on update in the parameters it says "No updates available), and when I tried to use the condi's tools (AIO or flasher) first the root method doesnt work then I dont know how to get the R3 update.
So can you help me to update my tablet to the last release?
Thanks
Hello there,
I've been using official 4.1.2 JB on my Xperia GO and I'm deciding about going back to gingerbread. However, I got my phone rooted with DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit and am wondering if I can follow these steps on this site:

Could this be risky? Can my phone in such condition end up getting bricked?
Thanks!
That way is OK.
I just bought a Sony Tablet S 4.0.3 R5a. I have spent the last 2 weeks trying to find an upgrade to 4.1. I have seen a few thread about upgrading, but none of them works.
The most popular one is the Condi flasher v2.2.7. I even try the version 3 and everything in between. I can only see 4.0.3 on the screen. i have added an attachment of the flasher. I installed v3 but the tab was still runnung 4.0.3 R5a
I was able to root it easily with (Sony_Tablet_S_Root_Windows).
Any help would be appreciated
