[Q] Sony Tablet S fully (softly) bricked - Sony Tablet S

Hi, folks. My Sony Tablet S is probably softly bricked. I can't recover from SD card (failed mounting), can't access to ADB shell (not found), but ADB is recognizing my device. Also tried to wipe (factory defaults) unfortunately no success. Device non-rooted. Never did any hacks, modifications etc. This logs from adb push /tmp (attached to post)
pull: building file list...
pull: /tmp/recovery.log -> ./recovery.log
pull: /tmp/nfx_daemon_flash.txt -> ./nfx_daemon_flash.txt
pull: /tmp/random -> ./random
3 files pulled. 0 files skipped.
541 KB/s (0 bytes in 8667.000s)
P.S I changed extensions to txt due to upload problem.
Please help me. Thank you very much in advance.

Try to force update via Sony Update Service.
It will surely wipe all your data, but it will work just like out of the box.
BTW, SUS helped me countless times in my first "adventures" with not successful modding my Xperia X10 mini pro and PLAY.

Not too sure sorry, never seen anything like that. Perhaps a corrupt internal sd... Is it under warranty still? Might be the best option.

Bin4ry for some reason i don't know why i can't use ADB connection with specific phone (probably reason it's a prototype phone) maybe it want different driver. for my other x10 mini RTL i haven't any issue with ADB.
it need a driver called SEMC HSUSB Device (from device manager - Windows)
http: //img219.imageshack.us/img219/557/10102010131939.jpg
I find another way to pull files from this prototype x10 mini with ftp app
If you know how can i solve with issue please tell me!
In the Menu where USB-Debug is located, there should be an option with PC-Companion. If you check this the phone will ask if you want to install PC-Companion if a usb-cable is connected.
If you choose Install on phone, then in Windows a new Drive will popup, the driver should be located there.

@Bin4ry, isn't root required to install io_ex2.ko? Is it not required to dump the boot loader?
Is it worth trying Exploid to gain root? Although I believe we think it won't work. It's got to be worth a try
yes first you need to root the x10 minni
but i think that i is already rooted
then extract this zip to sdcard
forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=407185&d=1285348031
open an terminal emulator app and give in
Code:
su
cd /sdcard
insmod io_ex2.ko
cat /proc/splimage > /sdcard/spldump.bin
then you upload the file spldump.bin
(it is on sdcard)
Nice one wolfilein.
@Lef.teris, when you manage to get the drivers sorted of the adb, please try the following: http://android.doshaska.net/x10miniroot
Edit: although I doubt this will work - try using the drivers from here!

I try to gain root with universal androot 1.6.1 but doesn't works. I can't try with exploit, i have issue with ADB driver
Any other way to gain root? so i can take and upload the file you want!
Another thought - could you right click on one of the devices in screenshot you uploaded (this one) and select properties, then click the details tab. Next in the drop down box select Hardware Ids.
Could you post the text thats in there? Hopefully we'll be able to find a driver

This is discussed many times. It replaces flash lite on android 2.1 devices that support it with flash 10.1. Only HTC devices support flash lite on android 2.1. Xperia line does not support it so this will not work.
I am afraid it doesn't work for Sony Ericsson xperia X8...

Doesnt work for my X8 2.1 either.
Also its a huge app anyway...

How uninstall this version flash? because dasn't work any internet browser witch this software.
thx
Applications Management.
Its in the Settings of your phone!

It doesn't work on X8. Tried many browsers. Wonder if you have tested or not?
Yep
I am beginning to get sick of android, always all you want to do you have to do it the hard way, problems with java support, flash support, the stupid market way to install apps (no offense but a normal user doesn't know how to use adb to install apks).
To reboot: you need another app
For proxy: you need another app
No native java support

The ZU isn't rooted yet, so i guess you/we will have to wait a bit. It's also not released in Europe/US yet, so not a lot of peope have it.

no only the /system/lib folder was posted so far, still missing /system
due to the GPU and s800 I find the ultra much more wiser than the new Nexus 7 (as a small tablet and not a phone)
slightly disappointed by the audio quality reports and of course the price is so far absurd
Hi, I got the original firmware update, just awaiting to get a an activated Emma account to decrypt it. I guess to get files you are looking for directly from this dump.

if you cant recover your device try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53968631&postcount=35
xperia Z2 doesnt support EXT4 on stock firmware, only fat32 but this applies only to internal storage
im sure cm11 supports all kinds of formats
i think your device bricked because the block partition unasigned from your sdcard1 or storage/sdcard1
none the less its a softbrick and apears to be repairable

if you can perhaps rebuild the corrupted partitions, or other solutions may include force reboot to flashmode and like said before try flashtool
maybe fastboot and see if you can format your boot and install a kernel just in attempts to get past nothing
try anything to get response, even sony logo frozen is good enough for now
if all fails you could just throw it out of a window and claim it was stolen or perhaps get a free replacement under warrenty if sony cant determine if the device has been modified
but those last solutions i think are illegal in some countries
doing a chmod shouldn't brick a device, what else did you do?

Guys, Unfortunately for me, I was the first to suffer Xperia Z2 (D6503) HARDBRIK in this community. On one hand I'm very sorry for what happened, but on the other hand am willing to experience the solution with testpoint, s1tool and files, but I have the knowledge to make such files. I can only goodwill engineer our community.
Thanks everybody.

[Q] Ubuntu and Flashtool problem

I have opened another thread about Ubuntu 14.04 not being able to show the internal storage of the Z2 before. I have it solved with this web pages help; http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2226702. (For Ubuntu 14.04 users, steps 3-4-5 are enough)
Then I have installed Flastool from it's official site and it just worked without needing further interfere from the command line.
How ever when I try to flash a FTF file I get the error shown on the picture. Some problem with header, a .sin file.
I have tried with different FTF files, all from XDA stock firmware topic. So I do not think they all are broken.
Why could it be and does anyone have a solution?
Thanks

I believe there are no drivers for the Linux based OSes. If you mean ADB and Fastboot, yes they are installed.
Flashtool already can see and identify my device, it can even tell the version of Android inside.

ubuntu is terrible and nice
anyways anything android needs to have admin rights or above so ADB, fastboot etc need to be ran in sudo or SuperUser
