Several people have already tried using UnlockRoot and found it does not work on their Sony tablets.
Thanks for pointing out this program.
It worked for my Sony Tablet S (TISU0R0110110) 32GB Wi-fi 4.0.3.1a.
When you install it make sure to uncheck the option to install the free search/tool bar.
According to their list it should work for.
Sony Sony Tablet S 4.0.3 TISU0077 80
Sony Sony Tablet S 4.0.3 TISU0R0110 107
Hope this can help anyone else.
They said MOST not ALL.

here not work...
Did not work for SGPT112US/S
From the device list, here are the supported Sony Tablet S models.
Sony Sony Tablet S 4.0.3 TISU0077
Sony Sony Tablet S 4.0.3 TISU0R0110
But, never know, maybe they will figure out a quicker/faster way to root than the ones out there with other model in the future.

Maybe. They did have a root 'method' before this adb restore settings one. But that never worked and by the looks of it they have just made a user friendly program where the back end has ripped of the true developers and they are trying to infect people with spyware and crap (babylon).

Because him said that it won't be a jb release, but, they would be working in new updates for 2011 Xperias, and I don't see the work, so are they working in new firmware as they said or it was just a joke?

Check browser.
see if there's a carrier splash screen at booting time.
Got it today. There is no carrier boot screen and cant find any bloatware. The browsers are stock android browser and chrome. It came with 4.0.4 out of the box is that normal?
Btw xperia P is an awesome phone. :good:

Did that only sony mobile and green hart bookmarks. Seems like a fully unbranded phone.
Btw there is sound clipping in most games on the phone speaker is that normal? There is no problem when listening to music.
Btw what is the deal with the boost charging till 80%? I am not seeing it. Its not that the phone is taking too long to charge but I dont see it being any faster than the xperia arc S. I am using the supplier greenhart charger?

I don't believe there will be a JB update. A lot of these sorts of discussions get confused between Xperia S and the old S, there has been confusion with twitter/facebook errors on official feeds. I remember a furore when the official Italian site confirmed there would be a release and then withdrew it.
Here is the closest I can find to a definitive answer stating that there is no roadmap to update Tablet S to JB.... http://community.sony.com/t5/Sony-Tablet-Operating-System/Any-news-about-Jelly-Beans/td-p/38595

Yes, but we already knew that. Sony said that 4.4 for the Z1 and ZU is scheduled to be released in January/February, so this isn't news.

I've got an interesting question. Once Kitkat has been officially released by Sony, would obtaining root be fairly easy?
Or would it be a mission like on current 4.3 firmwares where we have to downgrade, root, flash, etc?
I'm still on 4.2 and will not bother upgrading until Kitkat has been released and obtaining root is done by a one click procedure.
If anything it'll be harder to root
And you would more then likely have to downgrade etc

What Jack said
There is a slight conflict here, you want an easy root path, but you want a secure phone that no one can hijack. If there is a one click root tool then there can just as easily be a 'no click' root exploit that you dont even know has been un on your phone and the writer/hacker now has full control of your phone - see the problem?
The way Sony wants us to do it (and the best security model for us and them) is to unlock the bootloader and install recovery to flash our phones - this is what we do now except we do the extra steps of running a root exploit so we can latter restore our bootloader/TA to a factory state

Doh! I take it it's best I stay with 4.2 and firmware 532 for now...
There's not much of an advantage for me to update to 4.3. I already tried and saw no noticeable improvements...

I understand. What you said makes sense. I previously used Vroot to root previously like most others but after hearing rumours that were apparently true, I no longer used it. As you mentioned they may be stealing our imei numbers and taking control over our phones violating our privacy...
Since Kitkat 4.4 is around the corner, I won't bother updating to 290 Firmware. Who knows, we may need to downgrade and flash to root Kitkat.
As long as we have an unlocked bootloader root is easy
hmmm.i remembered that when the nexus 5 came in..they got it rooted fast.since the software securities of 4.4 is almost(if not the same) with 4.3..but who am i to say..im just a simple guy passing through... but hey, we already have a working kitkat rom for ZU..so why wait? *smiling

You're the second swede in here that haven't received 4.3, and since both Norway and Denmark received it a month ago, I'll conclude that Sony hates Sweden Sony and Ericsson did break up after all, so I guess Sony doesn't want to go back there and risk bumping into Ericsson. Awkward.
I assume you've checked PCC for the update, and that you haven't changed your CDA to a country that haven't received the update (a mistake I did).

You just bought a new one and want to install a different rom? Why don't you use the standard one for a few weeks and try to find out what you miss in the original rom. Then read a lot in this forum and make up your mind which rom you like and why you want to change it?
I don't understand the rush you have. Take your time.
I will get my tablet tomorrow (Sony Xperia Tablet Z WiFi only 16GB & Sony SGP-CV5) i bought this new set in Germany for 319 euro !
I will not install a new rom in the comming months. I did not do that wih my Xperia Z phone either.
but on the other hand it is your tablet and you can do what ever you want it.
Thanks for the reply. Will it work on the phone as well. Using this method?

All the apps that require root don't have any problems but I'm still wondering why the binaries fail to update...
