Sony tablet S ICS rooted for CHINESE TAB - Sony Tablet S

At First I got My tablet in China, with Android V.3.x.x and this is my first time with these android stuff,,
so for the first time I turn on my tab, its prompt up that there is an updates available, so i press the update button,,,,
and finally I got 4.0.3r1a with kenel10
which I find out later it is unrootable version [ at least for AIOtools ],
so I tried to find out if there is any possible way to root my tab, and I tried bin4ry which is semi-auto method
Click here for the Bin4ry semi-auto method
the one I used is V.15 and its worked fine ! BUT before you root your tab, you have to resign your VPNfaker
By Following this thread
and once you success rooted you can choose to changes your tab's country to US to get a correct update for 4.0.3r5
and then just used bin4ry V.15 to root it again BUT this time you don't need to resign your VPNfaker like the first time.
after all this done, now you have a sony tablet with 4.0.3r5 which is US firmware, and you will be able to used play store and any apps that
Chinese tab are unavailable.
Hope this can help out who ever has a chinese tablet or facing a same problems with me ...
because when I have no idea how to root it really make me feel down.
:victory::victory::victory:
PS. sorry for my bad english.
PS.2 ,,,, VPN doesn't work for me after I updated to 4.0.3r5 but haven't find out if VPN application is worked fine

I'm a chinese user and glad to see V15 is working...(V14 doesn't work)

<CALL FOR STICKY>painless root for x10 in 5 seconds (TESTED ON MY X10i)

The name of the apk is Universal Androot
To root, simply install the apk and press the root button
Apk: http://bit.ly/aa4jxJ
Source:http://blog.23corner.com/2010/08/04/夏日-android-小品-按一下-root-手機-universalandroot/
Woot and your x 10 is rooted
Use at your own risk
can anyone confirm thnis.. this looks damn esy
yup, it works ! ^^ , tks anyway!
i already rooted my x10A to the 23 rom, which version does this root ur X10 to? and btw anyone tested this on the X10A?
let me know!
thanks
Will it work for x10a???
Could this be the holy-grail (from a user standpoint at least) of rooting? I'd love to hear comments on it's success (I'm already running 026 rooted, otherwise I'd try it).
As much as I appreciate all the work the X10 root devs have put into getting root on this phone and providing a solution for we lowly masse: I'd love a single-step solution. Seeing solutions for other phones like the one-touch root for the Galaxy S and jailbreakme.com do make me a bit jealous.
I am on rooted 026 too, otherwise will have a try.
Anyway, if it is true, that would be great for it is easier to do. Could any dev check and see if this way has any inspiration to your work.

From a quick glance at it I'd say it's the X10 mini exploit packaged and automated into an apk. Since the exploit appears to be a generic userland exploit it would explain how it works on so many devices.
Is there a way to unroot?

The apk has a unroot button too so that you can reverse the rooting process before you return your device to se for whatever reasons
i was so excited that i reflashed and rerooted with this.
works a charm. fantastic!!!
the superuser is not working. whats the fix?
mine works perfectly with superuser privilege
i used another one from the other thread "X10Root" and it works perfectly. rooted after clean update via seus. now on R2BA026. it includes superuser.apk. i think this one doesnt.
tested, and proved to work perfectly. really convenient.
There is one big problem with this root method, I can't get ADB to work. Operations are not permitted :/
Right heres a really stupid question--Will this work with the Apps Installer app or no I need the SDK from Android.Im totally new to Android and just picked up an X10i.This root seems to be the easiest so far--Stuck on Vodafone Ireland @ Rf014 (I think) so I need to root and upgrade to a later version.
I'm scared to trying this should i give a shot?
works fantastically on my 26
its the apk built from xperia mini root method
it works well with xperia too

The first option was too difficult and high risk (in fact i cant do it, the second was my issue here.
I cant root my x10 mini (2.1), i've been using these: z4root, terminal emulation push some .apk from this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739874 threat, universalRoot, and the last i use SuperOneClickv1.5.5-ShortFuse. I put my interest in this apps, coz most people said they've succeed use this app (on 2.1 (eclair)) but i found it keep loop and loop. I've toggle the usb debuging but its doesnt work.

The thing is that the very last version of the x10 mini firmware cannot be rooted yet, so if you want to root your phone, you have to flash the previous version of eclair with bin4ry's flash tool and then root it using z4root. sorry for my english too

I have the newest firmware: "2.1-update1" - "2.0.A.0.504" updated via SEUS 2 days ago and have managed to root it (Eventually) using "SuperOneClickv1.5.5".
It took a while and was a bit trial-and-error to find the exact time to disconnect/disable USB debugging but it does work! - Keep trying!!!
I am currently looking into installing App2SD which, apparently, can be easiest done via XRecovery (Once your phone is rooted).
This seems one of the most comprehensive sources that I have found: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833722
Hope this helps and please can someone correct me if I am wrong because I have only been using Android for a week (Plenty of experience with other devices though!)

bro,...
it is soo sad that i cant even flash my phone using the tools you mentions. The program that you give me, the roms, they keep searching for my x10 mini, when i realize my not in the flash mode, so i reboot my phone while keep pressing the back button, the little green light coming out, i switch to my PC only to see the message stay the same..
see endless dots and "Searching for Xperia...." message
people say my phone is invisible to the flasher, so how to make her visible?
with the correct usb driver you said, but sire, i currently using the SEUS thing, is there any more correct driver than this SEUS thing?
so,.. couldnt blame bin4ry for his nordic invention, just they people from the Sony Erricson for their hard-to-crack-cage...
please... set my phone free....

Are you sure that your phone is actually in "USB Debugging mode"?
Click Settings --> Applications --> Development and then Put a tick in the "USB Debugging" box.
Once connected to windows, this should add extra drivers for "Sony Ericsson sa0101 ADB Interface Driver"
SuperOneClick is extremely tempermental when connecting but I have now used it on 3 phones.
Exactly what version ROM are you using?
I used standard drivers provided with the newest PC suite downloaded from SE.
I've already switching usb debugging mode all night long, maybe i just dont get the correct timing right?
i dont really know what rom im using, but the version on firmware are 2.1-update1 and the kernel are 2.6.29 build 2.0.2.A.0.24
can you give me the right time to switch mode? i mean what is the right text on the console for the switching?
thnx bro

2.0.A.0.504 is not the latest; 2.0.2.A.0.24 is the latest and is the unrootable version. No amount of SuperOneClick will root it.

hey try this , i got this edited by someone here , i forgot who , btw give it a try , i successfully root x10i and the others mini pro , haha , it is actually same as super one click just the rageagainstthecage been customized , try it
Run super one click as admin and it works on the 5th or 6th try for me.
if it gets stuck on installing SU, enable and disable usb debug.

[Q] Downgrade to Honeycomb after rooting

Friend, now that our tab is finally rooted.. thanks again to all who did this for us
Now, anybody have tried to downgrade to honeycomb after rooting?
How was the procedure, simple or tricky?
PS Procedure is suggested by Cat McGowan here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31723451&postcount=194
I tried but when I boot in recovery It sais E: /sdcard failed to mount can't found such directory
and when I put an SD card in it sais E:/sdcard failed to mount invalid argument
So don't know what to do?

Xperia tab??? There is no honeycomb update for them, correct? It may be possible to use AIO to change to a org tab s region. However this has not been confirmed to work. May brick device from changing region.zip though

OH, just thought you were new here lol. Look in dev for AIO tool, downgrading has been around for 6 months lol. Use version 4.0 not version 4.1 (bit buggy) check out my old FAQ in signature for details, Which is where Cat McGowan redirected you, Piece of piss really, can't mess it up, semi-automated.

There is no India 3.2.(1) anymore, removed from Sony servers. Change region to US (WIFI ONLY). Then you can downgrade to 3.2(1). Then you could change back to India. Use AIO too custom update to Downgrade to 3.2.1 with root (to be safe) even though the US 3.2.1 online here is rootable with the old method.
Good luck

Okay bro, i will try by changing region.
Bro, with AIO how can i get the pre-rooted version of 3.2.1, where i can i download prerooted 3.2.1. files? sorry for asking too noobish question bro

Follow screen prompt, tahdah lol

Perfect, i'll try that soon.
PS i was thinking why i am downgrading to HC? lol
Actually i am just having microphone issue after ICS update, and i have heard its not in honeycomb?
What else, what are the benifits of HC over ICS

Downgrade to Honeycomb is VERY EASY
crack the ver num in prop files
then flash stock 3.2.1 rom by sd card
every thing will be done in 10 mins
but since you have not 3.2.1 rom of your regain,change regain is need
some good of 3.2.1
battery is more long life
more app and game
better ui
I somehow managed to downgrade to HC from link proved by condi in his all in one topic but it (hc) turned out to be kernal 10 which is unrootable

You will be very lucky to find that file. You should go up to ICS then preroot the HC update and then flash using AIO.
Hence giving you HC rooted.

THAT 3.2.1 rom is not easy to find
suggest you upgrade to 4.0.3 use ota
root it
then change to us 3.2.1 r2 rom,(Or china rom,i have it
last root it again
PS:not all ver#10 HC is un-root able!,my china 3.2.1 r2 is rooted by aio!
Yea bro, i have again upgraded to ICS but not with ota.. but downloading req file from stifilz bro's update thread. It all went just fine.
Yesterday, rooted it too. All well right now.
Now regarding HC, i have few doubts in mind. Can you guys please suggest:
-I have not yet understood how to install HC that is with kernal 10 which is rootable. stifilz suggested to install with aio to get the root on HC but i don't really get the steps. Can you please elaborate how to install HC and get it rooted step by step?
-In ICS, there is patch in aio to make it enable "Use sd card 2 as USB storage ", is there something available like this in HC?
-I sometime get microphone issue on ICS, has somebody else face similar issue and on HC microphone work well?
Thanks again guys for your help

normal HC is rootable,just use aio,make sure ver is 3.2.1,not 3.2
by now,only china #10 version is rootable,i 'am lucky chinese
maybe u can make a pre-root hc rom by aio,just like pre-root ics (just in theory)
-In ICS, there is patch in aio to make it enable "Use sd card 2 as USB storage ", is there something available like this in HC?
USB storage is ics ONLY
-I sometime get microphone issue on ICS, has somebody else face similar issue and on HC microphone work well?

I used the info from over here and it worked a treat!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2228613
When you have turned on the debugging, you will need to switch to win 8, go to device manager and get windows to search for the asus driver. Do all this while docked of course as that is the usb connection. I also turned off asus sync on the tablet first, don't know if that makes any difference.
Have to say I'm loving the AIO, even more so now the tablet is rooted ?

There's some more info over here, a small but growing forum for us big tablet users
http://www.transformerforums.com/forum/asus-transformer-aio-p1801-forum/
Some folks saying they couldn't get the root to take after updating the firmware, I'm glad you succeeded though, I haven't had to re-root as I already had the original firmware installed and did the root keeper before upgrading last time.
Be interesting to know what firmware you were on before rooting, maybe some others just weren't following the instructions precisely enough?

Not sure how I can check the firmware? I will definitely check out that site.
Thanks any more tips :thumbup:

Some folks saying they couldn't get the root to take after updating the firmware, I'm glad you succeeded though, I haven't had to re-root as I already had the original firmware installed and did the root keeper before upgrading last time.
Be interesting to know what firmware you were on before rooting, maybe some others just weren't following the instructions precisely enough?

i've use to about 7 ROM's (from TF300 and TF700) - flashing no problem, loading, launcher - everithing works fine.. except wifi and camera))
so, if anyone of us can make working port from TF700 or TF300, we can easily flash it and test it)

Working root method for the SM-G850A AT&T device

EDIT
I've changed the title to be something informative now, rather than a question.
Ok, so I finally got it working using KingRoot from here (it's probably the official version, but I'm not sure). Since it's an online-based root, you need an active internet connection and that's all you need. Device will reboot twice during the process, in my case, on first reboot, I've re-opened the app and the progress continued. KingRoot conveniently handles the root authorizations itself, but you might want to install your favorite superuser app later on...
Tested on KitKat 4.4.4 version (see attachments)
That's pretty much it. Hope it helps

I tried some of the rooting methods I found in the wild (including the NewKingroot + SuperSU Me) related to the samsung galaxy alpha sm-g850a, but with no luck at all. I know that this is an old device, but I still wanted to have root access for testing purpose.
OneClickRoot claims to have support for the KitKat 4.4.4 version, but I haven't tried it because of a membership requirement.
I hope someone create a new rooting method for this device

Thank you for your reply. I also tried that, the one for SM-G850F (sltexx), but it failed. Also, there's no support for SM-G850A in chainfire's web page. Do you know other working root methods for this specific device?
