Hi friends!
I bought a Sony Tablet P, Spain model, with 4 GB of Rom and it's 3G model. It comes with 3.2.1 and was trying to update it to a 4.0 with root. I was using the S.onyTablet.S [FLASHER] v2.5, and looks all process done ok.
But when Im trying to reboot the tablet, the Sony screens show correct, but the next screen i see it's the next one.
ADB no reponse, and only boot in recovery mode. Root it's a second problem to me now!
Can any one help me??
Thanks!

I think you are meant to go from ICS to R5a, even though there is no warning??? about going from GB.
Try to manually flash a Spain tablet P firmware. See my signature for FAQ (how to manual update) and Update links for the files.
Try this file info.update.sony.net/ST003/nbx02_005/contents/0006/signed-nbx02_005-ota-120612003.zip R2a it is still rootable through AiO tool then you can use Flasher to update to R5a.
Stifilz
you hadn't flashed hidden.img which is required when flashing 3.2.1 <> 4.0.3.
ICS can not work with honeycombs kernel.
just flash last rootable 4.0.3 fw and then reapply r5a via flasher - just like stifilz said

Thanks to everyone. I put the original 4.0.3 in my tablet and now can boot in a original system. Later i use the guide to flash the R5A with S.ony tablet.s tool and put the last root version.
Now, all it's working perfect. One more question, whats it´s the better "region" for my tablet P to get a lot apps and a the most important, games.

Unfortunately there is no 3.2.1 for tablet P US region nor is there any ICS for Tablet P US. The file you need is signed-nbx02_001-ota-0042.001.zip (I recall that is the file name) someone out there should have it but I have asked several members of XDA on multiple threads and I can not find it. If you find it can you please share a link so I can also upload it. Thanks

It would be really cool if I could run Lollipop on it.
What would it take to create such a rom?
I mean if it was possible to create a rom for the HP Slate then I think this shouldn't be an issue.

Okay, so you have tested your tablet and you believe it has root access. Now tell me what exactly are you attempting to do when the AiO tool tells you your tablet needs root access?
Im trying to enable the write permissions to sd, and now when ever i do a selection of any option on the AIO options non of them work and before i did the update to (release1 a) i had access to everything in the menu
super SAD i just used a root checker and i have lost my root access ... please some please tell me there is something i can do to fix this and have access once again.. can i downgrade or work away around this ?
- i had 4.0.3 and flashed to 4.0.3 r1a from the link given in the firmware link given in the AIO thread .....

Unfortunately, you have lost root access and currently there are no methods available for you to regain root access. Your mistake was flashing your tablet using the OTA update file as-is instead of using Condi's AiO tool to pre-root the OTA update file before flashing your tablet.
ah well that really sucks..... and from what i have been reading there is no way of downgrading is there ?

I got japan wifi+3g SonyTabletS with 3.2, and updated to 4.0.3r1a. Recently, some japanese succeed to root "4.0.3r1a", I tried it and I'v got root!
I'm not sure if other language device were able to be rooted, but you might try the method.

Hi, I'm also trying to decypher the translation Google came out with. As far as I understand the author says that he proceeded the same way as with Tablet P. Yupandra2012 can you give us a short walk through how you proceeded?
hi,
i was able to access /data but the VpnFaker.apk digest seems invalid to my Tablet S (4.0.3r1a US firmware)
the logcat shows the following message
W/PackageParser( 163): java.lang.SecurityException: META-INF/MANIFEST.MF has invalid digest for AndroidManifest.xml in /data/app/VpnFaker.apk

The auther said included "VpnFaker.apk" had adjusted certification of original "VpnDialogs.apk" in /system/app/ in Japan ver.
So I guess you must match VpnFaker.apk's certification to your oliginal "VpnDialogs.apk", but it's required rooted device.
hi Yupandra2012,
I can get the /system/app/VpnDialogs.apk without rooted, can you ask the author to re-pack the VpnFaker.apk for us? Thanks!

Hi guys,
If you want to have root, and be able to use decrypt/custom
preroot/flash custom functions on Sony Tablet S / Xperia Tab with new firmwares,
then DO NOT update directly to R5/R5A!
since R5 and future releases are shell disabled in recovery.
since R5A new root method with restore is not possible.
Sony Tablet S users - use AiO to make prerooted custom firmware,
with hidden.img replaced to still-vulnerable one!
Or if you dont want to make one for yourself, just wait for me
to make and upload custom fw's for wifi and 3g versions - HERE.

Tablet s wit 4.0.3R5 recovery v36 to 4.0.3R5a with root ?
Hello everybody,
I have a tablet S, with version 4.0.3R5 with Recovery v 36 and it's showing the update to r5a...
I'd like to root it, and get the update to make vpn work again (r5a).
I've read in STIFILZ FAQ (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1828107) that it's rootable with condi's AIO tool, but how I can get r5a with root if I've already have recovery v 36 ?
In the same FAQs, I've seen this:
Q. I have 4.0.3R5 rooted and want to downgrade to something else
A. When you install R5 OTA or flash normal file the recovery is 'upgraded' you will not be able to use AIO to pre-root future updates nor flash them. You can still root using the ICS method (if it is still current for the update. You can however flash either ICS or ICS R1A by lowering your incremental and manually flashing through recovery. Or see below for condi's amazing solution.
Q. I want 4.0.3R5 rooted and don't want the stupid new recovery
A. See this post here.
-- Now with double flash (flashes both system0 & system1)
But I cant' figure out how to do it.
Can anyone point me in the right direction ?
Thanks a lot !!!

I think the link you put in "FLASHER" its wrong, I believe the right one is this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050126&highlight=flasher
I'll try now to root and flash with this tool...
UPDATE: The root worked like a charm, then I used the flasher. It downloaded all the files, and prompted me to select wich hidden image to use. I've selected R1 since its the last with adb support. When it finished I entered recovery and I still see version 36, it's ok ? In the windows device manager I see a "sony" device with no drivers, I've tried the ones with ADB and AIO but it does not recognizes them....

Not sure for certain, I am currently bricked
I assume they may have patched it as they did that with R6a and R6b for Xperia.
Also why would they release R5a for US when they had recently release R5!
condi is working on a method to replace the recovery with the old one (before flashing new recovery) which also uses hie pre-root method
If you are on R1a DO NOT update.... yet!

condi is working on a method to replace the recovery with the old one (before flashing new recovery) which also uses hie pre-root method
If you are on R1a DO NOT update.... yet!

R5 changes recovery so ADB in recovery is blocked so the root exploit cannot do anything.

Maybe, waiting the JB is a good choice.
There is still another not so good way! You can contact the custom service, asking them back to original system(3.2.1 or other).

Stock 4.0.3r5a is not rootable. Anticipating your next questions: Your tablet must already be rooted to install pre-rooted 4.0.3r5a. You cannot install or downgrade to an earlier rootable release.

I can't help thinking there's got to be an opening somewhere. After all, how else can Sony's engineers reflash a damaged or corrupted system?
I guess it requires a level of access not available to ordinary users, though. What a PITA....
They can sign the zip offically so a reflash for repairs shouldn't be an issue for them I would think
