Dear friends!
My Sony Tablet S is bricked, I cannot doing anything now, all I can now is accessing recovery mode.....I need an original firmware for Sony tablet S, please help me if you have. I have tried some update firmware... but it's not works. Please help me, my tablet is like a brick now..
Dear neo.sys,
if You have only root your tablet and not find in this forum a file to recovery from sd card your system (there are some file that you can test searching in similar problem) You can only attend a Sony tablet upgrade to ICS and search again in this forum....
but if You are in valid assistance period contact with email Sony assistance (say it only the problem that You have not cause) and they retired your tablet and repair it free of charge; for now is this....
...
That's mean I will put my tablet S back in a box and waiting for next upgrade?
I just bought it yesterday....what the...!
I have updated 3.1 with OTA, root and using SystemApps Remover to remove some system application. And now.. it's brick. Is there any way to get back in the original firmware? (My original firmware is broken also)
Totally dead??

The question is - have you made 'rescue-backdoor'?
(lower value of build.prop incremental)
If yes - we can help you. If no - wait for ICS.

Test this ( with main connect; this delete all your data and app and root !!):
1) turn off tablet
2) press together button on and vol+; at Sony logo relase vol+
3) at new screen select "reset to factory setting" with button vol- and vol+
4) press button on to conferme
5) select "Yes delete all user data" with button vol- and vol+
6) press button on to conferme
7) tablet restart with a reset to default if have a chance...
but if You have buy it yesterday a new tablet You can have a Sony assistance...

Dear Condi and Gonzo!
Thanks for your reply, I think may be it's unlucky day of me
1. I do not making a 'rescue-backdoor'
2. I have tried using Receovery Mode to factory resetting it. It's worked but system program (that I remove it when using System Apps Remover) do not exits, because I remove S-launcher so.. I cannot access a home menu.... Can not doing anything.
This is my About Tablet S
Android Version 3.2.1 (Release 2)
Kernel 2.6.36.3
Build NUmber THMAS0012400
Is there anyway for re-flashing this tablet with original factory firmware? I don't need ICS, only need 3.2 ....

Boot your tab in normal way, if it boots ok, even without stock launcher, with black-screen, it should still be accessable via adb.
Check if 'adb shell' works. If yes - it can be fixed easly.

Dear Codi!
Yes, I adb shell work... Please show me how to fix it... I'm very appreciated that
Do you have the status bar (with the wifi and battery indicators) on the bottom of the screen after deleting data and reset to factory from recovery and reboot?
If yes, you can access the paremeters menu and choose "accessibility". You will be asked if you want to download an accessibility app. Say yes and you will be in the market. Ask for a launcher of your choice and install it. Then you will be able to install a text editor, edit build.prop and get an OTA update but be carefull, you may download the unrootable kernel 10!
Maybe you can also ask here for the s-launcher APK and install it from recovery with adb... I can't retrieve it since my tablet isn't rooted (kernel 10)...
Good luck!
Sorry Condi, I haven't seen that you're handling the thing because I was typing my post while you were answering!

Does anybody here have s-launcher APK? I really need it and please show me how to install it from adb
I really hate this ...
first ignore every hint regarding backdoor and recovery ...
did deep changes in the system and brick the device ...
afterwards crying and asking for support (our time) ...
OMG ... first of all you can go to the Google Play market and install from there a alternative launcher like GoLauncher HD and RootExplorer ...
In a next step you can ask here for the original s-launcher file and copy it back to /system/app
but to be honest ... how du.. must I be to delete the only launcher on a system?
@Condi
Good morning my friend .. how are you?
I admire your helpfulness ...
but IMHO we should ignore such a lazy guy if they ignore all our hints.
Have a nice day and best wishes to Magda.
done.
unpack, run, be happy

Dear Obicom!
I really don't want to be here for bordering anybody, I facing a problem, and I searching a lot of time until I decide to asking for support here, actually Tablet S is very new, and I still want to play with it. I just bought it yesterday, and still excited to discovering it until now... I'm brick... Sorry if I border anybody here

Hi neo.sys
I hope now you have learned from it ... take the time and read our hints...
implement ALL rescue and recovery steps from Condis awesome AIO tool ...
Would you play with your new car ... dismount the breaks .. and drive to the next highway?
Be careful with your new device and respect our private time and effort ..
it is only our hobby and we get no money for the support ...
@Condi
I have a bad mood today .. maybe the reason why I am so impolite
Have a nice day and cheers ..

No problem I'm glad that your tab is working. Thanks for the beer
Now, before you make any system modifications - run AiO tool, and make rescue-backdoor. It will give you possibilty to reflash your current firmware,
if you will mess something.

Thanks for your advice, I understand what is the problem I facing now, and I will never give up it again.

It's sounds that you have problem either with the temperatures or with the CPU. Have you overclocked your CPU? What's the history of your phone? Have ever fell? When did it start doing this?
My tablet will not write anything to memory, its as if its only saving to RAM, until it is full then has to be rebooted. It boots up and operates fine, I can install/uninstall apps, but after a while services will start to crash and I have to reboot. After reboot the tablet is like it was after the last reboot. All of my changes are gone. I have tried to do a soft reset, to wipe all data from with in the OS, and from the Recovery menu. However it still comes up the same state from a few days ago. It is acting like it is a dumb terminal. Do you have any suggestions?
Edit: I am on R5
Can you try to get aLogcat from the play store and try to post it here if you can?

HI everyone!
I have the same issue. I tried the same solutions than ngarre2, even more I tried to root to install prerooted firm but as you know, root process requires restart and every time that I restart I lose the made steps.
I will try to get the alogcat to post it here and I´ll let you now the release that I have installed.
If someone has any new idea to solve this please help us, pleae share it
restart sony
It happend to me last days, after a restart all the settings on screens were gone. Now I have installed a new Launcher - Go Hd for tablets, locked the screen, backedup the settings and restarted. For the moment the setings are all there. But what causes the problem by sony launcher? Is the firmware? I am on 5a without root.
Hi!
I tried MarioNico´s workaround and I still have the same issue.
Another solution that I tried was install the original OTA trought the stock recovery, and all commands were execute correctly (writing in system1, etc etc etc), but when it finish and restart to run for the first time the upgrade, guess what... I have the older system :crying:
I don´t know what can I do... Please help!!
(my model is SGPT121 and I´m in R4)
Did you tried a factory reset? Why are you on R4 and not on R5? over R4 you have the possibility to root your tab and install a custom rom.
Hi MarioNico,
Yes I did, I already tried a factory reset (trought system options and stack recovery) but after the restart I have the same system than before.
I am still in R4 becouse I can´t upgrade, I tried trought system update and trought the stock recovery with the original OTA, and every step works ok, but when I restart I have the same system again.
About the root, as you know, requires restart, so every time that It restarts I lose the made steps and I have the same system than before.
:crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: I don´t know what else can I do
Thanks in advance for any idea to solve this!!!

It seems like the issue is not caused by the system and the kernel.
Unfortunately it could be the bootloader or other hardware with other firmware built in to it.

Sorry, I haven't been on here in a while. I had a friend, who is a unix engineer, look at the tablet and he said he can see where the file system is corrupt and not able to write anything to which ever folder it writes changes to. He said he could fix it if I had root, but I have R5 and have never had it rooted.
Is it possible to completely wipe the harddrive of everything? Or maybe replace the harddrive?

Sony's tablets do not have hard drives, they have solid-state memory storage. As for completely wiping the memory, I have never attempted doing that. Most likely all you will end up with is an expensive brick. Perhaps you should just send your tablet to Sony for repair.

Sorry I still call solid state hard drives, hard drives. The tablet isn't under warranty any more and I don't want to have to pay Sony to fix it when, I could try and fix it cheaper.

If it is rooted you can reflash the pre-rooted rom.

Technically it isnt even a solid state drive, its just a flash memory (2 little chips on the board)

If it was SSD then the R/W would be instantaneously fast but it is flash memory for a reason.

Still no luck here...anyone else?
Now that there is a root out for my device and firmware level, It still has the same problem...I run the root it says it was successful and after it reboots, its back to how it was before I "rooted"...anyone have any ideas?
I recently bought sony xperia u. It turned out that it has multiple problems. The phone is locked to Orange but i have the unlock code. However everytime i turn off the phone, i have to enter the code again. It happens with all other settings, they are not saved after restart. There is more to it, wi-fi can't turn on. When i try to clear the internal memory, nothing happens. Even more, there are pictures and call logs, when deleted, they come back after restart. While working errors about stopped processes appear all the time, and some apps can not be opened for the same reason - errors as "stopped working".. I hope you have some suggestions for repairing my phone :crying:
