Why?
Is there anyone that can confirm a successful update to ICS and show us some screenshots?
Is there a way for us to get our ICS before they'll push it to our region? Can there be problems installing this zip on an other region? If that is possible.
I Tried to change my region to Mexico with all in one tool and i got a update notification for an older firmware version... but i don't want to risk to loose root forever... decrypting, costomize and resigning with All in One tool didn't work and i'm not able to flash the update with root...
As far as I know no one revived this update really. The only sign for ICS is the broken link in the upper right of the Sony select web app in some countries like Mexico.
Was this a fake post?
As soon as no one confirm a successful download or provide some screenshots & a functional link it seems it was an early bird.
The German blog mobiflip.de posted this as a news. Lol

No, I don't think so. When you look at selectApp-Website in Mexico there is the notification for ICS-Update. So it must come very very soon.
Condi posted a tutorial, how to do the update:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24563264&postcount=228
But how to download the OTA-Update and how to decrypt it after region change?
I think like the same way as before with the aio change region, use download zip in aio and decrypt + root.

Ok, so first I need to run "Run OTA ZIP autodownloader"?! And then? What options do I need to select?
First you have to modify your region to Mexico and than download ota.
I know But after I downloaded the rom through the script, how to decrypt the ROM? Does the Script also download the OTA when there is no Notification for an update? A lot of questions
No it doesn't. The download happens on the device. I you have installed rescue backdoor you have to modify your build prop again as condi says.

System Update release6b has been available for Japanese OTA update.
Major Change is...
SDXC card(64gb and 128gb) Read/Write is now available.
It is still based on 4.0.3 and the same kernel.

Region change is not available for Xperia S.... yet! Have you tried an OTA update?
After failing can you use adb pull /tmp/recovery/log and post it here so we can see why it failed.

You will lose root but you can use Condi's root tools to get a rooted version of the update.

Hi all! I recently got a Sony Tablet S on stock honey comb 3.2.
I installed all drivers and tried rooting it using some tools provided on this forums including the latest AiO tool but it gives me an error message.
Says it cannot be rooted because of the kernel and something about being "locked down".
I read that devices upgraded to R5 can't be rooted but I don't know if that's my case as I bought it from someone and don't know if they upgraded it to R5 or which android firmware it's on R5. Mine it's on android 3.2
Can someone point me in the right direction?
-Thanks in advance.

3.2 is old skewl. R5 is ICS. I suggest you read my faq and look at post #2. You will need to flash the 3.2.1R2 to root. Hopefully you have the US tab as there is not many 3.2.1 files around.
Do not accept any OTA updates.
Is it kernel 10?

Not the issue he is talking about 3.2 NOT 3.2.1.
3.2 is not rootable where is 3.2.1r2 < kernel 10 is ROOTABLE
Or he could ICS, R1 or even R5, NOT R5a though

Below is a link to where I detailed my steps in rooting/updating a Sony Tablet S from stock 3.2 to 3.2.1r2, which I rooted and used to install pre-rooted 4.0.3r1a. The 3.2.1r2 and 4.0.3r1a files I used are both US WiFi Only. 4.0.3r1a is no longer available online but I can upload it to 4share for you to download if you want. You do not really need to install 4.0.3r1a. A better solution is after you have rooted 3.2.1r2 installed, use it along with Condi's ALLinONE tool to install his pre-rooted doubleFLASH 4.0.3r5a with r1a's system recovery utility; link added below. I hope you find this information helpful.

Thanks man! I flashed ICS 120410 for easy root because I'm planning to upgrade to R5A with root. But on ICS 120410 everything was working fine until after root.. now the PlayStore icon shows but it says "App not installed". And the app list just shows the official ones from Sony :/ I also tried to upgrade to R5A through AiO to see if this would fix it but when I chose option 3 it came out a red screen and said "build.incremental value to high, reapply 'rescue-backdoor'" I copied the R5A to the SD and that's what it said.
UPDATE: Did some digging with the AiO tool. Trying to install the mooded google play store app from the options. Let's see how it goes
UPDATE 2: Didn't worked :/
Factory reset then root again?? It sometimes does that

I recommend you wait until Condi posts a new version of his S.onyTablet.S [FLASHER] tool, which is expected to happen soon. Condi recently said the new version will contain several fixes and additional firmware versions.

So I have had the THL W3+ (dual core) for months now and I have to admit that it is a great phone. However, I believe that it would run a million times better with Jellybean installed. It comes with ICS and there has been no update released (right?)
So I was wondering if there was any way to get Jellybean on this device. It runs the MTK6577 processor on which Jellybean has been installed on other phone so I don't see why the W3+ hasn't got the update yet.
Thanks in advance!

Thank you, that would be great! I wish I could help but I'm a newbie. I just know the technical jargon.
However, I just stumbled on a result on google in which a customer review said that "since the just new jelly bean update" the phone runs much smoother? I don't even know how to check for an update because I don't have the option under Settings > About Phone.

There's no option to check for update in the phone menus.
The update will be posted on their website http://en.thl.com.cn/Download/Index.html
About the review you came across, I've also seen it before.
Being desperate for jellybean update, I even registered on that website in order to contact the person who made that comment.
But I was dissapointed as the name wasn't clickable despite registration.
Right now, I even doubt that comment cos I've searched extensively for jellybean without success.
Maybe the person doesn't know how to check Android version.

The firmware that came with my phone allowed Viber. And it's the same version on the website. You should click on "w3 dual core version" not "w3 upgrade" as that upgrade is meant for the MT6575 single core version only.
I saw a comment on the firmware talking about G sensor. I think it would fix your problem. it says " Oct. 8, 2012 update: 1. Optimize the shooting effect of rear camera; 2. Improve the compatibility of the G-sensor to solve the problems of some gravity sensor failure; "
Right now I'm using a firmware labeled ThL.w3.121113.6577.COM.EN
I got it from a Russian forum where they claimed it was the latest official firmware (contrary to what I saw in the linkhttp://en.thl.com.cn/Download/Index.html I posted earlier)
Before I recommend a firmware, what version are you running currently?

I'm finding it difficult flashing this ROM since I'm not sure which ZIP file to flash. There are no ZIP files, only RARs. And they include unnecessary stuff like USB VCOM DRIVER
Edit:
I think I will keep this frimware (the one I said I got from needrom). I just flashed gapps so App store works great. I'd love it if you could post when the Jelly Bean update comes out. I believe this phone could be great with a little more support. Jelly Bean would make it so much more smooth!

ok, I assumed you knew how to flash using SP Flash Tool.
Anyway this is the link to the firmware http://yadi.sk/d/pSQ23rqr29rai
It can only be flashed using SP Flash tool. not from recovery as you did with your current ROM.
if you don't know how to use the tool, you might need to wait for jellybean update.
But hey... even if they release jellybean won't it be in the same format as the one you just got from their site?
they even bundled it with sp Flash tool.

I actually just learned to use it. That comment about the Jelly Bean update format being the same made me REALLY motivated.
I'm flashing the latest firmware from their official site although I'm pretty sure that is the firmware which doesn't support apps like Viber. Thanks a lot

Can you help me reinstall this phone's recovery without using recovery mode? Is that possible at all? Because at this point recovery mode keeps flashing purple colours like the screen goes really weird and all I can do is just restart the phone back into the OS. And the latest firmware doesn't have google apps such as the play store so I need to flash those, but without recovery working I can't.

That happened to me too when I flashed a recovery I downloaded.
The latest firmware I flashed overwrote the recovery to the default.
I'm pretty sure the official firmware you downloaded will solve the problem cos it's exactly the same version that shipped with my phone (version; Oct. 8, 2012). Viber and play store worked perfectly.
In case you only want the recovery back, here's how:
to flash a recovery using sp Flash tool.
what you need is an image file called recovery.img and a scatter file.
1. Create a new folder. Preferably in a path without special characters (just to be safe). example C:\User\recovery
2. Locate these two files inside the official firmware you downloaded, and extract them into the created folder.
recovery.img and MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt
Switch off your phone and Do not connect phone to PC yet.
3. Run the Flash Tool and click on Scatter-loading and point it to the MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt file
4. Only the RECOVERY option should be ticked by now.
5. Click on download then connect your phone using the USB cable.
It would download the recovery image to your phone and show a green circle as sign of completion.
That's it.
EDIT: Don't forget to backup your data
EDIT 2: Since you want to flash the official firmware, it will automatically repair your recovery.
in that case just skip steps 1-2 and start from step 3 above and when you get to step 4, all the options will be ticked.

That happened to me too when I flashed a recovery I downloaded.
The latest firmware I flashed overwrote the recovery to the default.
I'm pretty sure the official firmware you downloaded will solve the problem cos it's exactly the same version that shipped with my phone (version; Oct. 8, 2012). Viber and play store worked perfectly.
In case you only want the recovery back, here's how:
to flash a recovery using sp Flash tool.
what you need is an image file called recovery.img and a scatter file.
1. Create a new folder. Preferably in a path without special characters (just to be safe). example C:\User\recovery
2. Locate these two files inside the official firmware you downloaded, and extract them into the created folder.
recovery.img and MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt
Switch off your phone and Do not connect phone to PC yet.
3. Run the Flash Tool and click on Scatter-loading and point it to the MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt file
4. Only the RECOVERY option should be ticked by now.
5. Click on download then connect your phone using the USB cable.
It would download the recovery image to your phone and show a green circle as sign of completion.
That's it.
EDIT: Don't forget to backup your data
EDIT 2: Since you want to flash the official firmware, it will automatically repair your recovery.
in that case just skip steps 1-2 and start from step 3 above and when you get to step 4, all the options will be ticked.

I might be wrong but I think your devices incremental value is high. What was your devices android version?
