[Q] Question about R5 - Sony Tablet S

I was wondering if the R5 of ICS is out in UK yet for the Tablet S WiFi only version, i have an OTA available but can't tell as it simply says "4.0.3 Upgrade" and does not specify what version of ICS is it. Can someone confirm this for me before going to the effort of decrypting etc. to keep root then coming to realisation that its the same version...

I just changed region to UK to have a look.
IT IS NOT R5
Just standard signed-nbx03_003-ota-120803004.zip which is R1A.

Xperia Apps etc are added so the older Tab is like the newer Xperia Tab. Has Xperia link, walkman etc etc. If you are keen to have a look just change region to US....
Note: It changes your recovery so you CAN NO LONGER make decrypt / install custom roms using AIO as shell is disabled in recovery.

[Q] Does anyone have a nandroid of the US retail stock official TW ROM? desperate

Could anyone help me find either the stock plain HC version (that's upgrade-able to TW) or the stock tw version that the p7510 WiFi US retail (from Best Buy) now ships with? I've been looking around for hours and I've tried a few, right now I have HMJ37.UEKG4 from the "look here first" thread and I don't think it's the right version.
Any help is appreciated!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089
To clarify...I just need this so it will get all future updates from samsung. (as it is as retail)
edit: bleh nvm..was using the wrong file from http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/sys-backup/hc_31/
Okay actually after installing that, it upgrades to version version HMJ37.UEKG4 p7510UEKG4...but now there's not another update. (so no touchwiz?)
I need to thing ready by tomorrow so thanks if you can help!
That is the IO firmware I think, so yeah, it's wrong. Haven't seen another link for stock HC retail. I have a Nandroid backup of a stock, untouched Tab before the TW update (from my own Tab), but I have no idea how to make it an ODIN or CWM file.

Alright well...since I'm kind of panicking at the moment because I can't get this thing to update properly, would you mind uploading the nandroid?
Otherwise I don't know what to do...I think I was on the stock firmware before the TW update but it only gave me a 10 MB update to the version I said above. Any help is highly appreciated
This is a very interesting question. I wonder why the stock ROM doesn't seem to be available?
Sent from my HTC Thunderbolt.
Or maybe there's a version with TW? Because I don't think I screwed anything up, maybe the TW update just isn't available anymore?
EDIT: Okay so the stock files put me on version HMJ37.UEKF3...then I get a 11.22MB update to HMJ37.UEKG4. After that I get no more updates, but I really need to get this baby back on stock TW by tomorrow.
I found one here that works with all future samsung updates, phew...

That is a zip file containing ODIN and ODIN-flashable KME (the latest official US WIFI Retail ROM with Touchwiz). BTW, I got this from the Overcome ROM thread in Development, so all credit goes to those guys for providing it.
I'll have to upload my Nandroid tomorrow as my Tab is dead and I'm heading to bed.

Since this is the official US WIFI Retail release, you should get future updates no problem.
That "Look Here First" thread really needs to remove that version of KF3.
If you still need nandroid backup of stock US retail wifi tab, here's the link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/41710083/CWM Backup/2011-09-13.15.19.39(3.1).rar

Nothing in Europe!! How instal US firmware??
Great!
I'm looking forward to have here a tutorial on how to upgrade from other countries and without losing root )
Thanks guys!
nothing yet for Canada
I'm currently changing my region with Condi's tool. Here's hoping that works to download and crack the update...hrm..
edit: It's now telling me the update is to 3.2
Seems odd. Thinking maybe I should wait until Condi or someone can confirm that this will work alright...

Its correct behaviour. Thats because of sony.ro.build.incremental lowest valu ('1'). You can update (downgrade) to 3.2, then again update to 3.2.1,
and then to 4.03
Or change value to higher to get ICS update.
OR BETTER - wait for me (or other users) and we will give proper,
easy, step by step instructions.
I want to make ICS rom capable to use for every region
br
condi
Thanks for the quick reply Condi!
If that is normal behaviour, I might just carry on, and move through all of the firmwares, keeping them rooted along the way.
Will let you all know how it goes!
If someone can upload US firmware with is tablet.
EDIT : I wait for your tutorial condi ! You have time today?
i have a 16gb 3g italian tablet, if i change the region to us, and upgrade, and the change back the region to italian, will i lose the 3g support?
I'm in India, so I'll let you know if anything shows up over this way.

Nothing for me yet... USA
I see they have added direct access to files on the SD card.
Can anyone convince me of a good reason to wait for a root version? I can't think of anything I really need it for on this, unless someone finds a way to run Sky Go somehow through a hack.
Why cant I access this yet? USA rooted.

Bojanglez, I'm thinking the same as you - the only reason I rooted 3.2 was for the init.d support to run scripts for SD cards. Now that ICS supports that, is there any reason to root?....
Probably, there's always a good reason for it - CPU Master is as good excuse as any!
Anybody know if the Hotspot is disabled in ICS as in Honeycomb?
pretty sick

I can't get the update here in the UK yet anyway, so I will wait and see how it goes here.
If I can get a rooted version as quickly as the official I probably will, but I'm not sure I can resist the temptation just to upgrade if it becomes available before.

Likewise - the temptation to just go for it is great - BUT - we should be aware of the kernel situation (.10) that stopped some users from rooting. Best not to be too hasty, Condi might well present something to keep root. He usually presents something awesome!
Does anyone actually have this yet?

Need help regarding road to ICS from Retail.en.IL

I've had it with Motorola. I can't wait anymore. But I am currently baffled with the various ways to get to ICS from stock.
(And not just stock mind you, 65.1.40.XT910.Retail.en.IL)
I'd be grateful if someone could explain what steps exactly must I take to get ICS running on my RAZR and if there are any drawbacks or things that are not working with the current releases.
(I swear I'm not stupid. Both my Milestone and SGS were easier to upgrade! )
Thanks!

This thread is useful for you, the process is not complicated. and the result is %100 smooth and perfect, i was on 2.3.6 European, then 672.180.33 [European leak] then the small update 676.226.3 [European update]. Working perfectly smooth and awesome.
The difference is that you are on different REGION ROM, which you will first need to Fastboot to European ROM and then UPDATE to 4.0.4.
Good luck

I also just noticed your region is IL, note the European Official leak does NOT have Hebrew locale (keyboard language) by default, but you still can read thru web pages and messages etc. If you install the European leak, and still want Hebrew then i advice you download the beta.swype.com keyboard which contains all languages. Otherwise, you would want to flash the ASIA Retail fastboot ROM which does have Hebrew locale.

Exactly. Make sure you choose the correct Region you want to be on, There is a difference between PSHAsiaRetail and AsiaRetail. I believe the latter will have Hebrew but not sure about the PSH.

update verification failed

I have a TMobile P769 and I am on 10E, I can't update to 10G or to JB because my phone gives the message "verification failed" after downloading a 24mb OTA package. Anything I can do to fix this?
Are you rooted?
Sent from my LG-P769 using XDA Premium HD app
yes. although i've done a factory reset twice for other reasons since root. however, I still appear to be rooted.
I had the same problem when 10g came out. I never solved it I just used off line flashing to get to 10g. Have you uninstalled any apk's that came on stock rom??
Yeah, I've uninstalled quite a few stock APKs, however, offline flashing doesn't seem to work with my phone for some reason. Maybe I should try again.

You may have to re-install all of the stock .apks before updating. I remember this being mentioned in another post somewhere because it is looking for all of those stock programs to update. There's a post around here somewhere with a link to a .zip file with all of the .apks and instructions about where to put them.
I'm in the same boat, but I have been trying to hold out for the new JB release. As soon as someone gets that working with Apps on SD I'll make the switch.
Maybe you already knew all of this and were hoping for an easier solution... in which case I will join you in hoping that someone has one.
would you happen to have a link to that thread haha?

to those who have eu 610 and rooted in haste

Like a lot of us here, I'm not a developer but a user. Like a lot of users we can get over excited and flash and roots and so on without thinking of the consequences...
I came originally from samsung phones which in all honesty are much easier to root, flash and return to total stock. but I got the HTC 610 as a gift from my phone company. I quickly hit the forums looking for a way to unlock and root my phone and did so without making sure that there was a way to return to original stock.
I'm not blaming anyone here It was me who did it so my bad, since then I have been searching on a daily basis to find original 610 eu rom with no joy.
Now I got mine working ok but like most eu users I encountered problems, my biggest was the constant problem with play services and downloading from play store and after about 6 weeks I started having the same connection problems that almost all rooted eu users have commented on...
Last week I read an article from android police that had an apk of the new play services 6.7.7 anyway when i went to check the info on mine i noticed that mine was only 6.5 which was released all the way back in November, after some research i realised my phone wouldn't update to any other, anyway after some fiddling I got the new services installed and now all my errors have disappeared, my connections have stopped disconnecting and are working totally fine...
Now i Know a lot of you will say that this doesn't affect the connections but all i'm saying is that sometimes when one thing doesn't work it can affect other things and seeing as now I've been using this for 4 days with no problems now, so maybe its worth a try if nothing else...

it is but sadly i didn't make a back up of the original firmware as it was before it was rooted I kind of got ahead of myself and flashed everything in one post... only reason I didn't make a back up was because it was new out of the box so I didn't have any personal data to lose... now I'm using a stock Asian rom that was posted by mini blu on another thread... after some tweaking I've got it working fine now...
shame if i can get a proper eu dump even with root i can make a non rooted stock package
thats the problem
coming from samsung its really easy to get original firmware so i just assumed that the same would be with htc... oh well lesson learned...
htc used to be fine too, they just started being problematic here in the EU, in the states the RUU is clearly available for anyone to download, asking for a european version over live chat got my IP blocked from HTC support as "suspicious"

I contacted HTC US and they advised me to contact HTC Croatia (which I'm from). Then I contacted HTC Croatia and they said (after having no clue what I'm talking about, sending me links to kernel source and how to unlock my bootloader) I should contact authorized service of HTC in Croatia. Authorized HTC service told me that they don't have that file and pointed me to HTC Croatia... Maybe it's better that I didn't get any answer at all.

so the wifi and mobile data work fine on my modified stock asian, the 3g but no wifi on zubairali00's backup of his eu rom.... what would i need to take from my rom to make his wifi work???.... If I can figure this then I can make a rom that is combination of his and mine which should be modified stock with superuser, xposed framework, but connects with both wifi and mobile data with no problems...
any ideas?
