Hi everyone,
I have a Sony Tablet S with Android Version 4.0.3 release 5a and I am having problems with the Android Software, the programs such as browser, games even android base applications keep crashing. The device is still under warranty and I sent it for repair however the service here requested around 100$ for software installation as it is not under warranty. This is too much for me so I decided to do it myself however. I have searched this forum and many more to find a solution however even I have tried every step described in forums several time I could not be able to reinstall latest ROM from SD Card. I really desperately need some help here as this device is purchased solely for my daughter who loves android games alot.
I really appreciate any help you may provide.
Thanks.

hello,
try a hard reset. hold VOL up + POWER and when you see the logo sony release the VOL up button. then choose a factory reset. do not have to install from sd card.
Already tried hard and soft reset. Doesn't work.
I will try to describe the problem in full detail. I have weird error messages like "Google Play Store stopped working" "browser stopped working" "clock stopped working" and such error messages and when I try to uninstall programs i can uninstall them however when the tablet restarts they are all there, I think machine resets it self. If i try to uninstall a program called "Ustream" the tablet immediately goes off, and restarts resetting it self again. Even the soft and hard reset can not solve the problem. I have tried to boot the device, it says it is booted (I have managed to run adb and flash tools) how ever when the tablet restarts it again resets it self having the exact same situation as before. I have downloaded the official R5A update from the Sony Website when ever i try to install update from SD, the machine stops saying the operation is aborted due to some error. There must be a way to reset this machine to what ever it was.

If you have adb, you can try to root tab and apply the backdoor patch.

I have already tried that. The adb, flasher and other tools that I have found in this site. All in one tool says it has succesfully rooted the device but whenever it boots it restores itself to a previous unknown backup with all the applications installed and I guess not rooted state. I have used the flasher yet it needs rooted device. I have tried to update the system from SD, it says the software is low version (5A). I can not do anything. There must be a solution for this.

After attempting root the tablet is rebooting into the other partition. (There are two system partitions). Can you try rooting again and on the last reboot boot into recovery and try to install R5a twice in a row without restarting from the recovery menu. Hopefully this will catch the system switch and install R5a on the other system

I think I have rooted the device asthere is a "device manager" in the security options. However adb programs fails to recognize the device. I have installed the driver several times, restarted the computer how ever it did not change. Last time I was able to see the device in the adb device list. But i do not know what I have done to achieve this as I have tired many options. Can you describe me how to do that step by setp?

EDIT: I have AIO tools and flasher and ADB automatic driver instlaller. Now ADB Automatic installer worked just fine the adb devices i can see the device serial number. There is an "android device manager" option which I have enabled from security settings in my tablet. USB debugging mode is active however the S.onyTablet.S allinone v6.5 by konrad plasczykowski can not flash the tablet, it can not find the tablet. when i boot in to recover i have 3 options listed.
1. restart device
2 update sysstem from SD cARD
3 Reset to factory settings
when i choose update system from SD cart i see" Erohibit update as a result of checking versdion or base sku insallation aborted." message what does that mean?
there are no other options. how can i continue on...

After the update fail. Use adb pull /tmp/recovery.log and post it here and I will see what is happening
The flashing operation fails as the system can not access to the specified directory. Whenever I run the flashing tool the command windows background turns to red and I see this error. ADB can list the device yet I can not flash it.
By the way I have to reinstall all the drivers everytime I connect the tablet to PC, if I remove the cable and re mount it adb fails to list the device.
Hello XDA community, this is my first thread, i had never needed to post anything cause i always find everything im searching for in this awesome community... until now :crying:
Last week I got a new android device which is made by Polaroid, model: PSPR355, its a pretty low class device but I thought it would be enough for me.... then i realize I needed root permissions, for obvious reasons... easy I thought... i had rooted many devices...how hard can it be...right?... WRONG! :crying: . The first problem I encountered were the drivers..couldnt find em anywhere... fortunatelly i found a tutorial were i could install the drivers in a different way...although I took 2 days to do this...Ive been about 5 days trying to root my phone.... Ive tryied about 10 different programs with their different versions... and any of those rooted my phone, nor Oneclikroot, nor Unlockroot, etc, etc..... I really gave up trying to find something on the web cause i didnt even find the phone on its official site, so I came her defeated asking for any solution, idea, or if you want to help me with commands, a programm or anything else to root my phone, Im not even afraid of trying programming (Im trying to learn how to make roms, kernels, etc for this phone cause theres nothing on the web abou it but this is a theme for another time) if you wanted to help me i would really appreciate it, im a little desperate so anything would come useful thanks everyone and I hoppe you can help me!!! :fingers-crossed:

I would recommend trying the towelroot application. It can be downloaded from here, just click on the orange lambda to download the tr.apk file. Then open towelroot follow the instructions in the application. After the device reboots I would recommend downloading, Root Checker Basic form the Play Store and running that to make sure your device is rooted. Finally install SuperSU, and you should be good to go.
First thanks for answering so fast shimp208! And I guess I forgot to tell that I was in Mexico and Im using Telcel's network, I downloaded and installed the apk file but it doesnt starts I click the button pops up a black screen and then closes to the last app I used...any idea about this error...or if its beacuse of the carrier, by the way the device has Android 2.3.7 I dont know if it has something to do with this error

Does it present an error message of any kind before it force closes? Try uninstalling and then re-installing the application, and if that doesn't work go to application manger under settings, find the towelroot application and select the options to clear it's cache and data. The carrier won't have any effect in this case, and with it being Android 2.3.7 your device most definitely has a kernel build date before June 3rd, 2014.

No it simply closes without showing anything, and without even giving the "Force Close" message, i thought it was because i first installed it on the sd card, or because of not enough space but no, I moved it to the phone and uninstalled some apps I had, I uninstalled and installed towelroot twice and it didnt work, I installed the v1 of it and i got to the [make it ra1n] screen but when I click the button it closes immediately again without any error message

Very interesting, while in theory the app should work for any kernel build date earlier then June 3rd, 2014 the app many not be compatible with devices running an Android version less then 4.x.

Since you have the usb drivers working on your computer, try booting into the bootloader and using fastboot to see if the command fastboot devices returns anything. If the computer see's the device in fastboot that's a good sign. If your device doesn't have a locked bootloader which it likely doesn't, then I can try and create a rooted system image for you to flash in fastboot. Provided fastboot see's your device if it does, if you can provide me an adb dump of your /system folder then I will see what can be done.

Unfortunately if fastboot doesn't show your device without any other flashing utility, even with the system dump there is no way to flash a rooted system image if it was created.
Got to see if this guys do the trick!

Hello shimp well I connected my device on FastBoot Mode and my computer recognized it and it installed a driver named: ADB Testing Interface I dont know if thats a good sign or what should I do, I tried entering into recovery mode but it shows only an android little guy and exclamation quote... so I think it doesnt have a recovery boot I dont know if thats relevant, Could you help with the adb dump i dont know how to get it. And.... I dont know if besides you help me with the rooted system image you could teach me how I do this.... anyways thanks a lot for helping me! I'll keep doing everything you need so we can root this device!

Since your computer recognizes the device and installed the driver and shows the device when in fastboot mode that's a good sign. The Android with the exclamation point is part of normal stock Android system recovery, it just means that the recovery menu has been hidden (You should be able to get the menu to appear by pressing the power and both the volume buttons in recovery mode). To dump /system run the following command:
Code:
adb pull /system
Then please send me a link to the /system dump, from there I will make a rooted system image.
Factory Rooted??
Hey guys I'm new to this so I may be wrong but has anybody thought to check if the Polaroid PSPR355 comes Factory Rooted??? I had a Polaroid Tablet, PID something(I forget the name), which I tried for hours to root resulting in: bootloop, hard reset, root, bootloop, hard reset, root, bootloop, hard reset, about to give up. So I Googled how to root Polaroid PID something (again, I forget the name), and I come to a post somewhere(forgot that too) that tells me my Tablet and similar Polaroid electronic devices(as well as most electronic devices coming from China) are factory rooted due to some Chinese law. So after the last hard reset, I downloaded HowToRoot App to check if my Polaroid Tablet is, in fact, rooted. I press the little lock button(root checker) and I find that, to my surprise, my Polaroid Table is in fact rooted. So all I had to do was download SuperSU from Google Play Store and Update Binary when prompted and I was Super User. Don't know if this helps but it worked for me.
I installed GLTools for the 5th time, I have never had any issues with it before.
Suddenly this time I installed the version of GLTools on XDA forums(this forum!), the phone turned off afterwards, had to manually turn it back on, now it just sits at the Alcatel Boot logo!
I can access the phone with ADB when its turned off and do adb shell, su, with success. Now how can I remove GLTools and restore the phone to normal useage!?
Please somebody help me here, If i get it working again I will never use any software thats not straight from Google Store again!
Please help!

get aroma file manager.
go 2 recovery
mount system
flash aroma recovery file mgr
navigate to root/data/app And delete gltools.
go to data/data/(gltools folder) and delete it.
Then go to root partition and delete all 3 texure plugins.
U r done.
possible issue : maybe u messed with the system partition or plugins of latest gltools isn't compatible.
How do i do that if i cant boot the phone?
Please man I am begging you, need to fix this. Cant have another brick on something stupid.
I dont have a custom recovery since there was not one available for my phone. Alcatel OneTouch Fierce XL. Can't I delete the files with adb commands?
You know what happened. I Attempted to try an older version of GLTools 1.97 ealier to see if it would work better to clear up performance of a game, I got rid of that. Then today I went ahead to reinstall 1.99. I suppose the driver files were still installed and are conflicting?
How can I delete them with ADB commands? I have SU access in ADB, just need to know the proper commands and directories to reach and delete the proper files?

If u didnt know It means ur computer isnt authorized anymore(u have to do it after enabling usb debugging for every system)
U can always flash a system.img using fastboot
yea I had authorized it and told it to remember this computer always before the phone bricked. It was working fine last night, I just didnt know what adb commands to use after adb shell and then "SU", from there I should have been able to delete the GLTools drivers if I had known the commands. Then suddenly windows decided in all its glory to update and restart, now its Unauthorized again. So I guess I am ****ed eh? I was hoping a restore point to a couple hours before windows update or rollback the update would set the PC to the same state when It was still authorized, but no Dice huh?
I dont think my phone has a fastboot, the only button combos that work are Power+VolUp, brings up a stock recovery with only 4 options, Restart Phone, Factory Reset, Wipe Cash, and Power down. Thats it.
God this is such bull****, Next droid device I get I am locking down 100% as much as can get and not using anything on it but a few basic apps from GooglePlay.
Thanks anyways though.
Hi, everybody!
I have an android tablet Dicra Tab 975g. My daughter forgot a graphic key. So, after a few tries to guess it, she finally blocked the tablet on the lock screen. To unlock the tablet I need to enter email and password of the current user. Unfortunately, it is also unknown.
I thought it would be good to hard reset the device. But when I try to access recovery mode, it appears with a chinese language. Thanks to Google Translate I've found a menu item to "Clear data". But it doesn't help. Also I used Google Search to find a firmware for this tablet. Also without result.
What can you advise me?

Flashing the stock firmware will fix the problem.
Try to contact the manufacturer and ask how to flash it.
Good luck and reply what happened
Edit: may I know what other options you have in recovery??
Is there an option "adb sideload"??
I don't know if it works like adb normal commands.
If ues select the adb sideload and connect the tablet to the PC and open a command window (important to be in the same folser with adb.exe) and type :
adb shell **press enter**
recovery --wipe_data **presa enter**
Good luck and reply with the results.
This relates to the recommendation in this post.
I followed this guide and got as far as step 25. I have used the "by-name" in the 'dd' 'of' path (instead of "byname").
The device appeared to go into a reboot and froze with the Oppo logo as described in step 26.
Unfortunately fastboot and adb cannot communicate with the device anymore. All I see is a battery charge symbol on the phone when pluged into the PC. Attempting to start the phone normally or in recovery briefly displays the logo and then nothing.
Please help.
you must have made a mistake while following the guide.
it worked for countless others.

Thanks for your help via PM. I'm not sure if my reply PM got through.
The instructions therein seemed to reference files not available in the zipped package, so I was unable to continue.
Trying a few other things I did manage to get some sort of communication via the fastboot command however attempting to unlock or flash twrp returns a permission error.
If I was able to reestablish adb comms I could try the steps again, but I still can't get that working.
Any thoughts?

The word document is outdated but that's what I got from the OEM.
But basically what you have to do to unbrick your device is to plug in your phone to your PC.
Install the Driver in the package. Start the exe file. Read the instructions.txt file. Start flashing.
Why you are not successful with the guide and others are. I can not tell you. I would carefully read the steps and look out for copy/paste errors.
I need help too
Sorry to jump on this but I am in the same situation could you PM me the fix please.
Thanks and respect in advance
