Hi everyone, i have a problem with my Sony Tablet S, suddenly it's freezing and when i try to turned it back on it stuck on booting screen (with sony logo ).
then i checked to the internet and i found that i have to hard reset it, by holding down the + volume button and power button in order to get to the Android System Recovery. But then again no clue, i have tried reset to factory setting and keep stuck on boot screen. its frustating.
Prompt on my screen :
E: Fail to read boot logo flag
E: Cant Open / Dev/block/mmcblk0p5
(No Such file or directory)
E: Failed to Mount /cache (No such file or directory)
E: Cant mpunt/ cache/recovery/command
E: failed to mount /cache (No such file or directory)
E: failed to mount /cache (No such file or directory)
On the Android System Recovery there is Update System from SD Card, is there any possible ways that i can put Honeycomb virtual image on to the SD Card then make it as a bootable device, so i can boot from my SD Card.
Please help! thanks a lot !
If it was previously on Honeycomb, and you could find someone with a rooted Tablet running ICS from the same region and same version (WiFi vs 3G etc) then you might be able to recover it.
You would need to get them to install the rescue-bcakdoor on their device, allowing them to download the OTA update file. You could then try and ABD push that file onto your device's storage and install from the Recovery menu.
Just a thought! Otherwise, you could try sending it back under Warranty or something..
Disclaimer: This is by no means a tested solution and you may want to check on a few things before trying this. I take no responsibility for anything that happens as a result of this procedure. As always, I recommend trying Sony's Warranty and Repairs department for an official, warranty-valid repair.
Same problem here
I have the same problem with my Sony tablet s, i udated it to 4.0.3, it was working fine till yesterday when it would not start, its stuck at the logo, ive tried factory reset, but nothing changed, i did not have a recovery data either.
i would appreciate if some one would guide me how to fix it, either upload the ota update file, can i root it some how or flash it by using an UPDATE.Zip on memory card and try system recovery using android 3.2.1 ota file. please help
help me too
I got the same problem yesterday(29. May), it might be google did something via OTA. I'm using China version, changed region to US and upgraded it to ICS, but unfortunatlly, can't root in ICS now. Yesterday, it suddenly stuck and can't reboot any more. always stuck on Starting Screen. I called Sony Customer Center, and follow their struture to reset the tablet, but not help. Can any one help me to fix it....

I'm not too sure about easy fixes (I'd have to work through it a lot more, which is tricky without the error), but I know that it can't be Google. Google neither could nor would release an OTA package that aggressively downloaded to the device, installed and then broke something at system boot-level. Doesn't really work like that.

If you have this problem and you don't have a rooted tablet, you won't be able to downgrade. you must send it back for repair, since it can't reboot normally, sony won't detect any self bricking tracks, so warranty is still in the game, had the same problem to with Region Changer somewhere in V2.1 or something.
Goodluck.!
I have the same problem too, and I can't send it to sony service because it's not on sale in my country. I look forward to deal with it through sd card. Can't use USB connection. (not rooted too).
I have a similar issue, but mine seems to be stuck on the bootscreen animation (with the swirly yellow lines traveling from one side to the other). Haven't tried the power + volume up yet, will try that to see if I can hard reset. I was rooted on HC, but decided to take the ICS update so I believe that I'm unrooted at this point--still unsure though.
Regions - guarantee
Same problem here
Have tried all of the tips in this post...Still stucked with the Sony logo..
I bought my in Krakow, Poland, but lives in Norway... it has the /P on the back instead of the /N.
Do you know if the guarantee is worldwide? If I can drop this to a Sony shop in Norway?
I dont have the receipt anymore, because I claimed a refound from the company I work in...
Thanks

What color is on the tabblet?
Is it green or red?
I think if its green, there is no fix.
If its red, use the battery completely then recharge it until green light.
Try after that. Mine was fixed whit same problem.
Well, I've tried everything that I've found on the forums/internet to no avail. Just contacted Sony support and am having them send me a box to ship it back for repairs (luckily I only bought it last December). The operator on the phone says that it's most likely a hardware issue if it doesn't get pass the "Sony" logo. This leaves me a bad taste with Sony, won't be buying a tab or phone from them again.
I have had the same issue, so will be going back to Sony soon for a repair. Disappointed as I've only had it 6 weeks, but as long as the repair service is good I'll be ok.
Same problem here tonight. Unreal. Purchased last August. Won't buy another Sony again. First it was the constant soft resets in order to power on. Now this.
I got the same problem on my sony tablet s device too model SGPT111US/S anykne fixed this erorr yet?
Now i can't do any things because it stoped at logo SONY, please help, any flasher or rom support this device from pc ?
Just got off the phone with tech support. Couldn't even get it to do a factory reset. Stuck on system restore screen. Sending it in for repair. Very disappointing. Paid $500 for this thing. Didn't last a year. A few more weeks and I would have been out of luck on the warranty.

What version did you have before boot loop? 3.2.1, 4.0.3?? Try to flash a us rom from recovery. You can find in my signature link.
Good luck

it's 4.0.3,
custom rom from your link is zip file, i don't know how to flash this file, because the tablet can't mount sdcard ????

Oh didn't realise you can't mount, that is an issue then. Sorry you may be soft-bricked

So, I updated to Marshmallow. Now every time I restart the phone it acts as if I am trying to install an update. It shows "Verifying Update Package" then "Installing Updates" until it reaches 5% and sits for 10 minutes until the OS boots and works normally. This is very annoying and the phone is for my Mom. I really do not want her to have to deal with this issue.
How do I fix this?
Nevermind, I fixed it. I'm not a hacker or anything like that, so sometimes simple issues can complicate things. The issue was that the zip file that was in my download folder was triggering the update prompt when rebooting the phone. I did not think the phone would look in that folder on restart and try to apply the update. I hope this helps anybody else who is not super tech savvy and runs into this issue too.
something is wrong then... because that should only be triggered when booting using both volume plus power....
my first instinct? the buttons aren't moving smoothly... mash them a few times to loosen them up again.
Me also

as mentioned just before my post, if you have the update.app file on your SDcard, it'll interfere. Rename the DLOAD folder and try again
Hi, i have little (or maybe big) problem with my Vienna. Yesterday phone asked for Wireless Update and i allowed it. So Update started to install, almost finished it. But at the end it just gave error and rebooted and then there is just Ulefone logo after what it gives No command error and just continues to bootloop. I tried to wipe cache through recovery and even factory reset. It just wipes my data and thats it. No factory reset. I cant restore backup either. It just says no SD card. I'm kinda new Android user, so i dont know what to do next. Kinda frustrated about that update. It basically bricked my phone. Anyways phone is running stock 5.1 version. Thanks who can help me with this :fingers-crossed:

This had happened to me too. Try to update it again trough sd card by getting into recovery mode (youll find vids how to get into recovery mode). The 6.0 version isnt very good (it can hanlde more apps though, I have ~500 apps). BUT, MOST IMPORTANTLY; after the upgrade factory restet the phone (more than once would, I think, better). I didnt do that and I think I should, since that may enable me now to get again in recovery mode (yeah, now buttons dont work, Ive to do this via PC), my phone maybe would be more compatible with PCs and I may was able to root it. By the way, there is another xda forum about ulefone vienna where you could get more answers and Im not a professional. I hope I helped (with some months delay).
So my brother asked for some help to update his device....
Keep IN Mind his
Software Version is
3.41.651.41
HTC Sense 7.0
Security Patch Nov 1st 2016
as we both checked it had been a long time since he has updated since 7.0.1 and we received a notification about Nougat.
As we 1st downloaded the OTA zip.. we had 52% battery and tried to install it followed by the on screen instructions but to no avail.... a Red Triangle and Exclamation in the Middle Appeared right after the
25% mark... but to note the 24% mark just blinks once. before it hits 25% a few seconds later, before that error is displayed.
After wards we restart it or it restarts itself back to the Original Firmware we were just on a few minutes ago , all untouched.
Tried a 2nd time, cleared the Cache and that didn't work either same response..
as for the the 3rd time i cleared the Cache, and then Restarted to go into the Recovery Mode but I can't event access that at all just another Red Triangle is displayed , unable to perform any actions with the Vol Buttons or Power Buttons...
any suggestions??
htc one m9 s-on bootlodaer locked untouched , not rooted, tried ota update but it failed, can't access recovery menu .

Make sure you have ADB installed and USB debugging turned on. Now get the RUU
Which you can get from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sp...nt/ruu-sprint-htc-one-m9-1-32-651-17-t3073355 and put it in either the SD card or the internal storage then connect the phone to your PC and open the command prompt where adb is installed and type "adb reboot bootloader" and it should reboot it and give you the prompt to install
Help with Nougat update
I'm having the exact same problem. Have tried wiping the cache partition and factory resets among other things but nothing works. It gets stuck at 25% and goes back to 6.0. I don't have easy access to a computer and am hoping to get it OTA. It's a Sprint HTC One M9. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

I tried the executable one listed under 'Latest RUU' and in the process it threw an error and along the lines that it was incorrect and rolled back the installation. It's the same version as the original posters, so I'm not sure why it went wrong.
I'm planning to download 4.27 under '0PJAIMG RUUs', but not sure if I'll have the same issue. Will there be?
More specific details
Just about given up on this one but am trying again. Not fully versed in all the language but hope this makes sense.
Have tried cache partition wipes, factory resets, and OTA on bootloader with no success.
Recently moved and can't easily get my hands on a PC. Htc Sync Manager works with Mac but can't install the RUU.
When using bootloader two different error messages showed up. Will try and type the relevant info and see if anyone can make sense of it and possibly help me solve this VERY frustrating situation.

I'm getting similar issues. I tried downloading the executable from the link above and the htc site, both are giving signature errors. I tried updating via adb and i got the same error you have. Not sure if I want to proceed any further with this, if this is causing so much issue installing.
