[Q] SGPT112US/S Root Help Please! - Sony Tablet S

I have an unrooted Sony Tablet S 32GB Wifi model #SGPT112US/S Android Version 4.0.3 (release 5) Kernel 2.6.39.4 [email protected] #1.
Desktop trying to root from is Windows 7 64 bit (never had any issues rooting when it was on HC and or other devices in the past)
I have attempted the automated way from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 , & http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1828107 all 15 scripts, one at a time, all failed, all factory reset after including erasing USB storage so it is clean.
I have tried to re-sign step by step, copy/paste line by line from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31582941&postcount=42 and then follow instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1828107 and tried the auto scripts again and still no luck.
I already have latest drivers from the afore mentioned http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1828107 & and tested ADB as well. After each reset I enable Unknown Sources from Settings, Security, and Settngs, Developer Options, USB Debugging.
Wifi enabled, I also run Google Play and download Zinsigner2. (obviously for re-signing), tablet is plugged into wall outlet in case any issue with power and the update.
Files Extracted to root of C:\ using 7-zip using latest version of 7-zip in case of any directory length limitations.
I have tried running ADB from both the directory itself and enviornment path from afore mentioned link, and same adb version as from link.
I have also attempted the manual mode from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886310 with both re-signed vpnfaker and not and no go.
I have also tried multiple people's other vpnfaker files just to eliminate I am somehow a total [email protected] and cant copy/paste but no go either (didnt really expect that to work but figured worth a shot).
Below is what I receive from Automated script 1st, and 2nd manual typing it out from manual link. If you have any suggestions/personal experience with this model and have success, please let me know what else I may be missing. I have way to many hours into this so far.
Thanks in advance.

I am having the exact same issue. Only main difference is I am running Windows XP not 7.

Same here.
I don't get "Android is updated" after the reboot. Terminal emulator doesn't start, when I start it manually and enter "id", the UID is 10076, and not 1000 (as it should be as a system app). I think the problem is that we don't get a write permission that others get.
Edit:
in the instructions of the manual rooting method there is a line that reads"Start the injected Terminal Emulator". I know almost nothing about adb, but before this line the emulator "Term.apk" has been mentioned NOWHERE, so it hasn't been injected, or am I getting something wrong.

I also don't get android upgated as well (my line of same exact issue might need to be tweaked a bit, I was half asleep when I compared the OP situation to my own) As far as your edit above when I go through manual rooting I get nothing but permissions errors. My understand, forgive me if I am wrong, is that much of it will cause permissions errors and that is okay. I also think the guys here are light years ahead of the game for me as well as many others, so it may just be that everyone else picked up and understood what they were saying to do and I completly missed it.
I did run a AIO script yesterday and it came back as unrootable, which bothers me to say the least, exspecially since I've seen everyone get the thing rooted here.
Good luck, I'm subscribed to this and if I find anything I'll be sure to share here with you

I have posted to other threads to see if anyone has gotten the root to work with our model SGPT112US/S. I tried to skim through and see (although there are dozens and dozens of pages) but dont think I saw one that did as of yet. Wondering if there is some sort of bug/something different that has to be done for SGPT112US/S.
Time will tell I guess.

Well, I solved the problem. The whole thing worked the first time when I copied everything to C: on my hard disk. I have to admit that I have the SGPT111AT/S, but I think that doesn't make a difference. RunMe.bat and RunMe.sh are in root, the rest is in the "stuff" folder. Rooting rel. 1a worked instantly, and rooting Rel. 5 after the upgrade worked also at the first attempt. Before that I had the files on my desktop and always got the errors mentioned in the first post.

I have the same problem but moving the file to c:\ didn't work for me- same result

Did you re-sign the VpnFaker.apk?

I didn't will give that a try. Thanks.

I tried resigning the VpnFaker.apk but still didn't work. Just for the hell of it I tried running the script in Normal mode rather than Tablet S mode with the results shown below. Based on the results of this i.e. no backup and restore on the system I installed back up and restore apk from the forum and tried the script again with the results shown below. During this I noticed that there was a message on the tablet saying that backup and restore had stopped working and in fact neither of the two backup and restore apk's from the forum will actually run on my tablet s so at the moment I'm assuming that this is the problem and looking for ways to resolve this.

I have still had no luck either manual or automatic as of yet. I did find someone with a US model and they provided there VpnFaker.apk file. If someone wants to give it a shot, here is the link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460&page=83
I had no luck with it, but, beginning to wonder if mine is cursed lol.
Note - I did find one odd thing, if I use Internet Explorer, it saves the file as Vpnfaker.zip , Firefox/Chrome saves it correct as Vpnfaker.apk . Just a heads up there because it doesnt "look" any different via Explorer. (didnt notice it until I did a DIR from DOS prompt.

I tried to the root of C:\ as well and no luck, I really think it is something with this specific model. Just a matter of what.....
Thanks for the post though.

Well, I solved the problem. The whole thing worked the first time when I copied everything to C: on my hard disk. I have to admit that I have the SGPT111AT/S, but I think that doesn't make a difference. RunMe.bat and RunMe.sh are in root, the rest is in the "stuff" folder. Rooting rel. 1a worked instantly, and rooting Rel. 5 after the upgrade worked also at the first attempt. Before that I had the files on my desktop and always got the errors mentioned in the first post.

FINALLY!
Here is what I did.
Factory reset including wipe USB
Setup wireless & google account
Settings, Security, check Unknown Sources
Settings, Developer, USB Debugging checked, Stay Awake checked, and Allow mock locations checked.
Download attachmetn from post by k4syx from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886310&page=31
From there, resign the vpnfaker.apk from the extracted folder from instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31582941&postcount=42
Then replace the vpnfaker.apk file in rootkittablet.tar and inside that rootkit.tar .
run the runme.bat, choose Tablet S,
Follow along until the point the terminal emulator loads.
From there open a new dos box , type adb shell and start from "Still in the Terminal Emulator, ignore the script error" from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886310
Note - I attempted the backup of Backup /system (you may just skip it) but then all I got was a blank screen, and had to start over in new dos box and start over.
One thing I have learned from attempting various scripts, various methods I wanted to pass on.
1. Always factory reset after failed attempts
2. Re-extract original zip file to different location on additional attempt (I think there is something goofy with the backup files after trying to run a 2nd time)
3. Re-sign vpnfaker file after each attempt.
Hope it helps!

Thanks for the perseverance will give it a go. One question does your tablet have the sony backup and restore program on it? Mine doesn't and I cant get any of the posted apk's to run.

I did not install any seperate app, just what was built in with 4.0.3. release 5. It does prompt after a reset if I wish to restore my settings, I am assuming it is using the new options with release 5 (I dont remember this with release 1a)
Hope it helps.

Ok thanks. I'm still on 1a. Notsure if can get to release 5 guess you are in the US?

I solved my problem too! Apparently it just was a matter of selecting unknown sources.

There are problems with the AIO for Electrify running 2.3.5. The "Photon Torpedo" method should work, though. (If you're comfortable with ADB shell, I would recommend using that instead of a terminal emulator on your phone.)
Wow just a newb. that looks pretty complex. May need to wait it out unless someone else can suggest something more my cup of tea.
thank you for you response. I may end up trying it.

Anyone wanna test a one root script for me?

Found a one root script. Just need to see if it'll work on the Amaze. If it does, I'll add it in my tool and give proper credits as always. If not, I'll look into it myself.
Prerequisites?

Before you s-off/unlock your boot loader, run the script. Tell me if it works. If it does, reboot the phone twice and see if it is a perm root or temp root.

from 4ext nothing, just hangs.
Hold on, adb is giving me issues.
Alright. Try CWM
no go from cwm
it seems that in recovery it hangs a "@adb wait-for-device"
below is what happened when I removed the wait for device command and changed reboot to reboot recovery.
I had dropped the last part of the script in manually to finish the process.

I wouldn't recommend running this batch script on Amaze.
It doesn't even know where our system partition is mounted.
And if my memory is correct, we won't have root previledge to do much with adb shell right after unlocking the bootloader; we need to flash su binary using updater-script to begin with. As for the busybox, just install the 'busybox installer' so that users can run it in Android.
BTW, your all-in-one tool is very handy. Why no 4EXT recovery, though...

Firstly try V13. It seems to be less buggy for Sony Tablets. I use it fine for NZ tablet.
Secondly try the roll back?
Thirdly you have enabled mock locations etc? (Not sure if it is needed, but couldn't hurt)
Fourthly the only way I managed to get it to work first time was a Factory Reset
Try these and see how you get on.

hey I tried using bin4ry to root my xperia s, but it gets stuck at the connecting the phone part... I hav put my phone in usb debugging mode and enabled installation of third party apps... wat to do?? pls help!!!

[QUESTION] Rooting a read-only device.

Hello Guys!
This is my first post on the forum, I will try to make myself as clear as possible. I have got a LG Optimus L5 (known as Swift L5), which I am trying to root. But there is a problem. I have been doing a bit of research, and I have found out that the Optiums L series are read only (the internal storage). And because they are read-only, I cant push the files onto the device, in other words I cant root the device! This is really freaking me out a bit. I hope You guys can help me solve my problem. Best regards
Please help guys
Again the problem was not looking for specific device forum.
However, here's your answer

Ok. I read the tutorial and there is no file to be pushed in /system partition. What are you basically trying to do?

You aren't understanding me. I didn't see ANYTHING in guide that was to be pushed in any partition that returns with read only error.
I was asking that what you were trying to push when you got that error. I know that you're trying to root. Tell me what I need to know to solve your problem
I suggest you to read the guide again thoroughly and then tell me WHERE you are getting error.
I get the error, when I start root.bat:
Code:
DON'T TOUCH THE DEVICE OR UNPLUG WHILE ROOTING!

You will notice, that I get Read-only file system and permission denied errors, as well as No such file or directory. Does that mean, that my rooting package is corrupt?
