Hi guys,
I live in the UK so no ICS for me at this time. My device is not un rooted and running the latest firmware update prior to ICS. What's the easiest way for me to beat the system and upgrade early? :-D
Can I root on this firmware?
I'm from UK and I'm waiting for ics as there are some bricks using the USA one

Look At condi AiO Tool,
And for you, you need "root access" first also with Condi's tool
And then you got an other problem, if you do not af any Adb stuff installed jet.
So easy installation for someone that doesn't have anything on his pc jet. Nope then there isn't a quick installation.

Just download 2.7 AiO and switch USB Debugging on ( On your tab ) and press 1 with condi's tool
then you will have root then follow the ICS Quide make shure that you have MTB drive installed properly!
Edit>> You will find a Quick ICS quide on top of Condi's AiO 2.7 topic in blue text.
any HK tab owners got theirs yet?
in Oz, tab from HK
Dear Friends,
Any idea when ICS update will be available in India. I called up India customer care they are not even aware what ICS is? .. pathetic..

Unfortunately I'm on kernel #10. DOnt know condi's AIO tool will work to change the region code.
I don't want root but just want to change my region is it possible using condi's AIO Tool?

To change the region also u need to root ur tablet but since you r on kernel 10. I guess its unrootable for now
Mayb later the dev team might come up with a exploit for kernel 10 users
Till then u have to wait n watch

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

download : htp:/115.com/file/c2ct8l0d
Thanks for links. I will look into it
Update:
This fastboot image contains an upgraded "Secure Version".
Secure Version is 3, same like any other ICS leaks. Which mean you can't downgrade back to GB.
Customer id is 4 (China / India / Japan)

Could it be rooted?...Maybe the method for older leak will work?... Or if i backup root with rootkeeper and then flash this on top of older ICS chinese leak will i be able to restore root?

There is no method to root it. Only if you upgrading from 2.3.6 to 4.0.4 by OTA Root Keeper. This is SBF so if you flash it you'll lose ROOT.

Could you please upload it to mediafire or dropbox? That 115.com download speed is killin' me!
I'm just a consumer, I usually don't upload things.
Why would you want to install this?
Do you have a chinese version xt910? If no, better don't mess with it.
In fact I have LATAM RAZR but my current ROM is previous Chinese ICS leak which version is 6.7.2_GC-120-175; I've flashed it with mmcblk replacement - and that's why I'm asking someone to share. I know what I gonna mess with. Moreover, there would be guys who will try it sooner or later for sure, so the earlier we share it the faster we get some feedback.
宜しくお願い致します。

Again, this fastboot upgrade your cdt main secure version to 3.
Previous chinese leak was 2. That's why you can revert back to GB.
While i'm not an expert, i guess it will be hard to go back to LATAM after flashing this.
You know your phone better..
Well this is interesting
I'll keep my eyes on this thread

What I know works is fastbooting a 4.0.3 boot.img, booting into BP Tools from the boot menu, rooting there, then fastbooting back to 4.0.4 boot.img. There isn't a 4.0.4 root method at this time other than this. So find a 4.0.3 FB file and use that boot.img.
Isn't that's how older leak rooting method works?

Unfortunately, there's no macthing 403 kernel with secure version 3 & cid 4 / 7.
You guys that have xt912 just lucky, because you have a 403 kernel leak (secure version 3 cid 2 too be specific).
2whirleyes: Again, no need to tell me that. Let me suppose you think I don't know about problems with downgrading? You're wrong if you think so. OK keep it but don't "warn" me once again, please.
Am I the only one who wouldn't go back to so-called "stable" GB after flashing ICS leak? Previous Chenese leak I currently running on my device is MUCH BETTER than any GB I've ever had. And after all, 2.3.6 upgrades for LATAM RAZRs were rolled out about a month ago - after all other regions. Who wants to wait till August - rise you hand up high, please.

Just wait for someone to upload it for you.
thanks for everyone, i just waitting
I found this post today in the earlymorning and started download. The speed was too slow, so I left it and went for job. If the download is completed, I will upload this leak to sendspace... But no promises...

Good luck.. Hope you will post some screenshot afterwards..
The baseband is still 72 ?
just a curious question, does the home launcher in 4.1.B.0.587 is smoother now like in GB? the only reason i had moved to my own ported miui because of it's too lag in 4.0.4
Out of curiosity which country is this update for?, I'm still waiting for the original ICS update in UK, and my phone is sim free, and they haven't updated the SI Numbers for a month.
recieved the update here .. in egypt
Anyone can post the ftf file?
Hey plz tell us more: D

btw, did you lose the ROOT ???
Wonder what the deal will be with rooting this one? Hopefully it won't be like ICS 4.0.4. - i.e. using Flashtool to flash 4.0.3 kernel (then root & CWM) and then flashing back to 4.0.4 again. Then again, if someone posts up an .ftf for .587 it should be straightforward enough. Hopefully anyway!:fingers-crossed:!
I got update in georgia but same global fail while downloading firmware.. almost bricked my phone..
I got the update, UI just like previous stock one, but feels lot more smoother than before. I added some screenshots

Yes, this for international version, I'm uploading the american version too.
And I confirm that can root and install clockwork mod such in 431 firmware.
Just flashed to 4.1.B.0.587. The UI is definitely smoother, and the camera lag seems to be gone as someone else has pointed out. Also the phone in general seems to be faster. I can also confirm like the others that the rooting trick for 4.1.B.0.431 works on this new firmware.
Could you guys please post some link with rooting instructions and necessary files to achieve it? Thanks a lot.
guys what about led notification? sms, missed call? working or not?
Quite some time ago I rooted my S2 to get it unlocked. I then shortly after unrooted and flash ICS onto it when it was first due to be released. Ever since it does not ever find any updates.
Can anyone help with why this may be?
whin ics was firsted released from this site was never considered official, just leaked firmware. OTA updater will not recognize leaked software it is not stock, it was modified slightly.
You would need to find a stock ics which was releaed about mid 2012. Flash that and OTA should work.
