1- Make sure your tablet is in Debugging Mode ( Settings - Developers Options - USB Debugging )

2- Download Android SDK
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html (I installed the Stand Alone)

Put following device descriptions into each sections [Google.NTx86] and [Google.NTamd64] in extras\google\usb_driver\android_winusb.inf.

ps: Mine is located: C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver

;SONY Sony Tablet P
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_054C&PID_04D2&MI_01

;SONY Sony Tablet S
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_054C&PID_05B4&MI_01

Please add 0x54c into .android/adb_usb.ini file under HOME directory by using following command from command prompt.

In a terminal add this string to your path:
echo 0x54c << %HOMEPATH%\.android\adb_usb.ini   (very Important)


3- Download S.onyTablet.S [ALLinONE] v6.5 Condi Tool from:
