I found out how to root the Xperia Tablet S with the newest 4.1.1 Jellybean update! You just need to use the motochopper exploit , which can be downloaded here. Obviously, you need to extract all ZIPs to folders before running them. Be careful with root; the Xperia Tablet S doesn't have a custom recovery image you can install and flash a backup/fresh system from. (Note: I missed the older thread with this same exploit, but I'll keep my thread up since it has more detailed instructions. This exploit also apparently works with earlier updates, but I haven't tested this myself.)
Instructions:
1.) Enable USB Debugging on the tablet (by going to Settings>Developer>USB Debugging; if they're hidden go to Settings>About and tap the build number 7 times to show developer options.)
2.) Install the drivers.
3.) Check if the tablet is seen by your computer by opening command prompt and using the "adb devices" command (Windows users may have to "cd" (change directory) to a folder containing the adb executable).
4.) Run the motochopper script (run.bat in the motochopper folder, or run.sh for your Linux users) and let it do its work! Your Xperia Tablet S with 4.1.1 should be rooted in under 60 seconds!
Message/reply for more help. Press thanks if this worked!
