How can i downgrade my tablet - Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the 4.2.2 ftf but i want to downgrade to this version without restoring my device. Because if i flash the 4.2.2 i will lose my data. Is there any way to downgrade without loosing data. I know i can backup but some games will redownload their data again.

The device will probably not boot if you flash without clearing data. IF it boots, you will have loads of errors and slowdowns

If you relock it, you won't lose root. Just make sure you are using stock kernel when relocking.
And it won't brick if you OTA. You might lose root, but it won't brick.

App updates won't brick your device, just system ones

Question about Unlock Boot and PCCompanion.

I read in some places, including here at XDA that when you unlock the bootloader no longer more updates by PCCompanion in your device, it simply does not seek information about upgrading. Gives error.
Turns out I unlocked the bootloader of my Xperia S, I root, and still recognizes PCCompanion and sought an update (0.75).
I ask: It is possible that my Xperia S don't have unlocked bootloader? But as I got to root it?
Where can I check if the bootloader is even unlocked or not? Root it has, but PCCompanion is recognizing and seeking to update, and this is strange...

Try go to *#*#7378423#*#* --> Service info --> Configuration
If Bootloader is not unlocked, it says "Bootloader unlock allowed: [Yes/No]"
If Bootloader is unlocked, it says "Bootloader unlocked: Yes"

Ok, my XS is Unlocked = Yes.
I can update with PCCompanion in this case ?
Or brick my device ?
Thanks.

Many XPS users in Thailand said they saw the update but couldn't download it. It appears they have unlocked boot loader.
Therefore, I think PCC doesn't allow you to update unless you relock BL. But it shouldn't brick your device.

Is my tablet update via OTA?

Hello everybody....
I update my sony tab via downloading from a post (i ain't remember where...). My version is now 4.0.3 and the kernel version is build 9 and the build number is TISU0017700. Is my tablet is updated OTA? Sry, if my question is stupid but if my tab is not updated OTA, I wanna flash back to previous rom and will root. I really had to root my tab. Pls help.....

If your tab is not rooted, then you cant do it. If it is rooted, put the rescue backdoor and downgrade to honeycomb. Go to this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1515720 . Follow pt. 7 of the FAQ. Credits to condi.
If i helped you, click the thanks button!!!
check you current system,can you find superuser application in app list?

if you find,yes,it's a pre-root rom,you can downgree to 3.2.1,reference to AIO thread in dev form
if not,it's official rom(whether OTA or SD card flash).by now,it 's can't be root,so you can't go back

i'm afraid I cant downgrade now since the su is not here. All I have to do is to wait for the root now. Really hope that the devs made it soon...

Already said that.
Try unlocking your bootloader again.
Cause your bootloader might be locked.
Press thnx if u like my answer.

It says device must be rooted, what it actually tries to say is bootloader is not unlocked.
Unlock bootloader, or try a kernel which works on locked one

Rooting Status:

Bootloader unlock allowed : yes means bootloader not unlocked.

So urs is not, there a sticky in general for unlocking.

I'll try to unlock bootloader and root my nexus 9 this afternoon, Any risk with this app?
This wiped my /system partition when I just tried to root, so I'd avoid it. Thankfully I had the ROM's zip on the device.

When you unlock the bootloader partition is always deleted .... has nothing to do with root. But there are apps so you can unlock the device without data loss .

#1. I didn't use it to unlock the bootloader. I'm already unlocked and was trying to root a stock build.
#2. Unlocking the bootloader wipes data, not system. I couldn't even boot into the ROM after running this, and I had to reflash it. My data partition was untouched, though.
it did worked; thanks
