Recently i was searching the web for a custom rom for the sony tablet s. Which was a waste of time cause i did not find anything. What I did find is that people are saying that you can use the sony tablet s flasher tool by condi to upgrade to jelly bean 4.1.2. can some one verify this. If this is true is it prerooted, able to flash custom .zips.
4.1.2 update isnt out on any of Sony's tablet. So you cant flash it, no.

There will be a Jelly Bean update, its just not out yet.
There is no optin in condi's tool to flash 4.1.2 because it isnt released yet. But probably. there will be, once the update is released

Exactly!! Condi's new tool flasher is Jelly Bean READY because it does not use the recovery to update. It writes straight to the partitions and because we have the decrypt tool (now in Windows, originally only with AIO on tablet with old recovery) we can decrypt the zip and add back-door and root etc and whatever we want (i.e apps as system) to the 'ROM' and then use Flasher

Statement on Jelly Bean Release Schedule for Sony Tablets
"We will be releasing Jelly Bean for the Xperia Tablet end of April 2013 / early May 2013 for the Xperia Tablet. This update will resolve a memory management issue that may cause the Xperia Tablet to shut down from time to time.
Currently we do not have a roadmap to release the Jelly Bean update for the 1st Generation Tablet (Sony Tablet S)."
If you read the latter sentence carefully, they speak about "THE" jb-update. So... there is an update (ready or under development) but is not to be released yet. They absolutely don't say it will never come....

You do know that the Sony Mobile team (which is the one behind the Tablet Z) is very good at being transparent and releasing timely updates, right? The VAIO team is not and they were the ones who did Tablet S and Xperia Tablet S. But at any rate, all manufacturers are quite bad at releasing timely updates, so it's not just Sony. That's why we should all stick to Nexus devices...

Under "The xperia tablet" im meaning the current one, the XTS. I dont care about Sony's inner misunderstandments, id like to have a Sony product, that gets treated like all the others Sony product. Otherwise there is no point of getting a Sony over any other brand out there.
Thats my point, you cant sell Porsches, release a new Porsche that is actually made from the Porsche Watches team and do nothing about it.
Its just that im disappointed with Sony's decision makings and my new tablet would never be a Sony tablet again.
Handsets are another thing, although if Sony continues to be Apple-like and release phones with non-removable batteries only, im going to switch to Samsung.
Oh well hopefully my tablet get replaced by sony xperia tablet z if you do get the option i would take it.
Least if been offered to exchange mine for tablet z.
If I can exchange this for an Xperia Tablet Z then ill be satisfied.
I will forgive sony consider sony products if they are oke, i will regardless buy playstation 4.
but thats asuming sony exchange my tablet for tablet z in the end pull through.
My trust on sony tough totaly depends how sony deals with sony xperia tablet s issue.
I think sony should give 2 options least, aka a choice between part off cash back because xperia tablet s obviously not worth much, or free upgrade to xperia tablet z with accesory's being replaced asswell for equalivants.
Honestly tough i think the best option is to just get all the xperia tablet s replaced by tabket z,
Either way if they do the first option they should unlock bootloader and root, its obvious their might not be any future updates after jelly bean.
ofcourse time will tell what will happen, i hope sony does the right thing.

Rumours about andriod v5.0 (jelly bean):
Android Jelly Bean: Key Features
We've recently seen Google release its Chrome internet browser app for devices running Ice Cream Sandwich.
We expect to see Chrome become the default browser for Android when Jelly Bean rocks up, offering us the slick tabbed web surfing experience we've grown accustomed to on our computers.
As enormous screens start to keep onto more and more phones, it'd be nice to be able to flip it into landscape mode and use it like a tablet - especially as Android 5.0 will be designed to run on phones and tablets, like its predecessor.
With dual-core and quad-core processors now ruling the roost when it comes to mobile power we expect Android Jelly Bean to optimise these super quick chips and provide a fluid and speedy experience.
More power means more demand on the battery and Android 5.0 will need to make sure it works in the most efficient way possible, providing us with maximum battery life when we're hammering high-def, 3D games.
An improved power management suite would also be useful and Google may take a leaf out of HTC's book, which integrates power management features into its Sense UI.
We could see a "lite" version of Android Jelly Bean which is optimised to run on budget devices and which will allow manufacturers to offer super-cheap smartphones. Microsoft is already sowing the seeds with its Windows Phone Tango OS and we won't be surprised if Google follows suit.
If you're an HTC user you'll be familiar with lock screen widgets and this feature could be made a permanent option with Android Jelly Bean, bringing widgets to every manufacturer's lock screen.
Android phone manufactures have got user's backs up recently over the slow deployment of Ice Cream Sandwich to their current handsets. When Android Jelly Bean rolls onto the screen we hope it brings a clear upgrade plan with it, with users knowing exactly where they stand and how long they will have to wait.
As we churn more and more files onto our devices, it becomes increasingly tricky to keep track of everything. Some manufactures offer file managers as part of their user interfaces, but Android currently lacks its own dedicated file manager, something Android 5.0 can hopefully solve.
Android Jelly Bean: Manufacturer commitments
LG told TechRadar that it guarantees an update to Android Jelly Bean for all of its 2012 handsets which are able to support version 5.0 of the popular operating system.
Asus has made it clear that it wants to be the first company to offer devices running Android 5.0, after leading the way with Android Honeycomb and Ice Cream Sandwich updates.
Android Jelly Bean: Release Date
Some rather optimistic rumours have suggested that we could see Android Jelly Bean make its way onto handsets as early as Q2 (April-June) this year, but we find this highly unlikely as we've only just seen the first wave of Ice Cream Sandwich devices launched at MWC 2012.
There's also some slight more believable speculation that Android Jelly Bean will arrive towards the end of this year as Google looks to continue with its annual roll-out of software updates.
Google has said that it will be flexible with the Android Jelly Bean release date and it might differ from previous releases depending on how long it takes to finish the update.
Android Jelly Bean: Successor
It looks like the next version of Google's mobile OS (Android 6.0?) will be known as Android Key Lime Pie.
General Android surely, not remotely relevant to the S considering we don't even have ICS yet
-brought to you by Xperia Arc S, XDA Premium and AOKP
Jelly Bean will not be 5.0!! It will be 4.1! Why does evrybodythink it is 5.0, Google has already said it will be 4.1. It is just like before ics was released everybody called it 2.4... Damn.
No offense.

If you're not happy with it, why did you buy it? Sony already said they will be making whatever comes after ICS available for the Xperia S and the other devices in the 2012 line-up. Don't be an idiot now.

Secondly, much of the article looks like general analytics and stating the completely obvious things that Google must do to keep their market share.
And finally, JB will likely be 4.1, which already means that the author doesn't know much about the subject.

Trolololol. Go tell that to Xperia mini owners who got ICS on a phone almost twice less powerful than the SGS. Which, by the way, didn't. And go sell your phone, get a Lumia instead and watch Microsoft officially deny all upgrades for a phone that's just a month older than the XPS.

I have a semi official confirmation that all 2012 devices and maybe some 2011 flagships (ArcS?) are getting the next major version. Which, by the way, isn't even JB but rather K, L or whatever.
John Cooper, UK Product Manager for Sony Mobile, has been taking questions from customers on Facebook and, perhaps inadvertently, revealed that both the Sony Ericsson Xperia arc S and Xperia mini pro will not receive the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update.
We have been waiting for Sony to make an official statement on their Jelly Bean upgrade plans and this is the first concrete news we have on the matter. The Xperia arc S was the highest specced 2011 Sony Xperia handset, so if this handset isn’t getting it we can conclude that none of the other Xperia handsets from the 2011 range will get the update either. However, the 2012 Xperia range do look likely to get the update, although timing remains an unknown right now.
Its funny that many of the 2012 Xperia handsets have lower specs than the 2011 models. It sux! anw, we can hope for a developer to port JB for 2011 Xperia lineup. & Cynomod10 is coming with JB

http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/07/26/official-2011-sony-xperia-handsets-will-not-get-android-4-1-jelly-bean/
They have made a mistake
Xperia 2011 handets should have had that minor upgrade to Jelly Bean, especially given the performance issues. Also, it means those handsets are stuck permanently on 2.6 Linux kernel, unless one goes the custom ROMs way. Thankfully, Cyanogenmod devs are supporting Xperia Mini Pro, so I am starting on a quest to root my SK17i.
Jelly Bean would be slow on our phones if official update was done. Sony will push own Timescape UI inside instead of Butter UI, so we don't get any performance improvements in UI.
It's a shame, but it was expected...
Yeah, i also expect 2012 xperias will probably get Jelly Bean update around this time next year (+/- couple months), just before Key Lime Pie comes out

I wonder....
does anyone remember Xperia x10i? the funniest was they came from Donut 1.6 to GingerBread 2.3. they've got 3 official FW update.. and me guess we still have a chance.. Our device is not low range since we have 512 ram inside. and some of Xperia 2012 family also have the same type.
I was expecting this. They won't update 2011 xperia phones to JB. But they will update 2012 xperias. If I buy another phone, it won't be a Sony. Maybe a Nexus 7 but not a Sony. I was very disappointed with the ICS update. Can't imagine a JB for our phones, maybe to slow...
Long live to Gingerbread! xD

The thing is that to be able to create stable custom roms you need support from the manufacturer. Without proper source code or hardware drivers/libraries that suit the new OS developers have to tack everything together which greatly increases the chances of bugs.
IMHO the least thing Sony could do is provide a proper hardware layer to developers to give them a solid base to work from. Nobody really needs the Sony customisations anyway so they could actually save a lot of development time there.
Personally I'd wish all android phones came with AOSP, like what Apple and Microsoft do. It saves the manufacturers a lot of development and opens the way for more frequent/longer OS updates.
All hope of custom rom

Personally I buy an SE phone for the hardware (who else makes a tiny phone with a useable hardware keyboard?) while knowing you can optimise the thing to personal taste by modding the firmware and using apps.
As for updates the Mini Pro got 200% of what it's predecessor got (the X10 Mini Pro which only got Eclair).

I think that it is a Jelly Bean release.
But remember that even though it has been tested by ptcrb, is there no guarantee that this build is going to get released.
So even though a Jelly Bean release may be undergoing testing at the moment, could the next release be a ICS or even a GB release.
Sony (nor any other company) would release the latest OS to their entry level handsets and ignore their flagship models, That's a REALLY bad plan for keeping your customers happy....
You can bet the Jellybean will rollout will happen simultaneously (very unlikely)
Or...
High end: Xperia T/S/SL/AcroHD
Followed by Mid Range: Xperia P
Finally Entry Level: Xperia U
Xperia P, U, go and sola
Well it's being prepared for a number handsets:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/09/2...tified-for-xperia-p-u-go-and-sola/#more-10186
I doubt it's JB - Sony has not mentioned it, what manufacturer does that? They said ICS is incoming...though I agree with others - perhaps it is JB but to be released much later?
I had a 2010 and 2011 Sony device. The 2011 Sony device had a slight delay to ICS - which was eventually 4.04 I think - it was an improvement on the ICS they had already released for other 2011 devices - they fixed bugs. So perhaps our round of devices will get the updated, bug-fixed version of ICS also?

I was SOOOOOOO close to saying it's a typo - I have seen SO MANY websites makes typos on this stuff, including Sony phones, BUT this is a SONY website so it's true! Wow...
This changes things a bit then. So they have finished Jelly Bean enough to be releasing it's first phone on it, so it must be under testing for other phones? I'd imagine they'll do what they did with 2011 phones - guarantee all 2012 phones to get the next update, in this case, Jelly Bean. I hope the fact that they're working on this privately means they will make it as smooth as they can. I still can't stop thinking about O2 network in the UK NOT upgrading Sony phones to ICS "because the performance was so bad vs. Gingerbread".

Yes it could be a typo... or at least that they are missing to add that Android 4.1 will first be ready when it is done...
Same goes for the version number, that is being tested on PTCRB, but it is most likely a version, that is tested, for a later release of jellybean, for our devices.
Anyway, jellybean is worth a wait, so if we could get jellybean in a month, would I prefer that, compared to getting ics now.
It may be JB... but I don't expect it will be JB but a nearly perfect ICS firmware
edit: it is just a big ics update, got it from inside info

Thanks for the heads up :good:
I know no insider information, but at the time of the Xperia Tablet S release in early September, Sony said that the JellyBean update was complete and where working on optimising it's small apps function.
Say that took another 2 weeks to do, which takes you to around the 21st September, Sony take between 6 & 10 weeks to test the update (according to articles etc) so i'd estimate around mid November for JellyBean on our Xperia Tablet S.

The Tablet S and the Xperia Tablet S are different devices.
Hey, I just found out that Sony wont provide us with a Jellybean update:
http://blogs.sonymobile.com/product...rades-jelly-bean-for-2012-xperia-smartphones/
This is really bad, because they promised 18 months of updates, and thats one of the main reasons why I did buy this phone, so no more Sony phones for me after this phone.
Sad
hate sony!:banghead:
i don't see the problem... why not use the JB custom roms?
I love PAC
seriously?
They said they would support us at least 18/24 months not up to
Guess custom ones will have to do.

I found it not surprising for Sony doing that. They're late to the game now even for flagship devices.
Most of consumers not even want the update or know about it, only us screaming and crying is not enough force. And most of consumers will screaming and crying with update broke their device so rom need to be bug free to release, it cost a lot sop they dont bother.
I personal think Sony should have 'for experimental testing only' rom release without any warranty when they can not release the official one, I'm sure it take much less effort and can satisfy the community at good-enough level.

not expect Xperia 2011 to 4.1 but still disappointed with sony
Yes it sucks... no official JB for all 2011 devices
will xs get JB?
It's a flagship one.
Sony Mobile has this morning confirmed that Android 4.1 Jelly Bean for its new Xperia devices (Xperia T, Xperia TX and Xperia V) will start to receive the update from the middle of Q1 2013. Sony Xperia devices that launched earlier this year including the Xperia S, Xperia acro S, Xperia ion, Xperia P, Xperia go and Xperia J will be upgraded to Android 4.1 in “due course”. Looks like Xperia miro, Xperia tipo, Xperia tipo dual, Xperia sola and Xperia U users are excluded.
We suspect that the JB launch for the other 2012 Xperia models could take as long as early Q2 2013, given that no concrete information has been given. It’s hard not to commend Sony Mobile for updating many of its mid-range handsets along with their higher-end models. However, Xperia sola and Xperia U owners will rightfully be arguing why they won’t be seeing the update. It’s certainly not a question of hardware specification.

Well, the problem is that unlocked bootloader is an obligatory requirement for using JB custom ROMs. The point of expecting official JB from SONY is because devs. could get official drivers too, so they could cook ROMs for locked and unlocked bootloaders... Or at least that's what I think. There are some people who just can't or don't want to unlock the bootloader, one of them is me.
The reason why I bought a Ray is because I'm (somehow) a SONY fan. In fact, I was going to buy Neo but in the SONY store in my city they didn't have it in stock anymore, so I liked Ray and I got it. Their handsets are beautiful and reliable on their performance. A friend of mine has a Galaxy Ace and that phone is terrible, he has problems with his modem in his house, the phone doesn't connect to it (my Ray does without problems). Plus, no ICS ROMS for it. My business partner has a Samsung Galaxy SII and that piece of s**t is busted, it shows that is charging battery when the phone isn't even plugged! And it doesn't last more than 5 hours...
SONY (and SE) phones have never gave me that kind of problems. But yeah, it's really lame not getting JB, I guess SONY devs weren't smart enough to make project butter to work fine in 2011 line, or it's because all the damn bloatware they want to push affected the performance at the point the phone was a total slowpoke.Or, it's a lame strategy, getting ride of your current device to get a 2012, or even a 2013 one. Whatever is the reason, this is a bad new and a low move from SONY.
Personally, I was going to get Xperia V, but with the rumored prototypes (Odin and Yuga) I'd rather to wait, my Ray still has so much to give and when I get a new phone I want to feel I'm getting a real big upgrade.
Or I dunno, maybe the next Nexus isn't from Samsung anymore... I'd give it a chance
Doesn't matter.... its like we are sticking with a 1ghz phone for a long time since there a cheap dual core phones out there... so I guess its okay and who cares about jb on a 3.3 inch phone

The problem is that custom rom cookers don't have the latest libs for the HDMI and camera, for example, so they can't get them to work properly or at all. And while Sony has released all the libs for the Xperia S to the custom community, they won't do that for the Xperia 2011 line. So, no official nor unofficial solution for getting a 100% usable JB, though the handsets are fully capable of running it even better than ICS.
It's no possible for devs export it from XS?
I think XS will have jellybean or not?
sony must see thread [WIP][ROM][JB 4.1.2][Pa+Aokp+Cm] P.A.C All in 1 ROM !!!!!! Jellybean alpha, its 992 replies and 142.577 views, it's shows how love customers like they device
