Hello! I bricked my Sony tablet s SGPT111PT/S
It was rooted, I made reset to factory settings and got stuck on Sony logo. Already tried a few things flashing from SD. The computer doesn't recognize the tablet with adb so I guess I can only flash with external SD. The original fw goes well until vendor error.
I can't find the hack recovery. Zip file anywhere. I will donate 10 bucks for a working solution!

Try flashing the original ota twice and post the /tmp/recovery.log
Adb should be available on boot loop.

Hello. Thanks for your help. I already tried to flash original Ota twice before. First time I get
Assert failed: package_extract_dir2("vendor". "1353012956")
E:Error in /tmp/desklunvr/desklunvr.zip
(Status 7)
Instalation aborted
Second time the error is
Erohibit update as a result of checking version of base sku
Instalation aborted
I hope this helps.
I will try adb again.thanks again

When you get ADB access, flash the backdoor and try again.

Boot your tablet up, when it goes into loop, connect it to your computer and try to get adb access. Then use the S.onyTablet.S AllInOne tool to apply rescue-backdoor patch. You can find this tool in Sony Tablet S Android Development secion

If you flashed the untouched official ICS update, you will not be able to downgrade until you have root again. Unfortunately, there is no known root exploit for ICS on this tablet.

I am currently stuck were I was last I believe I need to edit the build.prop to make it think I am trying to flash a newer Rom than I currently have on it but I can't replace the build.prop without root that's what I did today tomorrow
I am going to try work with a program my friend showed me called mercury downloadable from here (I would put the link here but it's not letting me just google mercury-v1.0 framework) from my understanding it's a bit like adb but for hacking
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA Premium HD app
Ok today didn't go as planned I couldn't get mercury working the computer was not connecting to the device if someone else would like to try please post ur results here other wise,
I need idea's any idea's on how to get this to work crazy, silly, and brilliant idea's they r all welcome I have a silly one which I'll like to share and two questions as well.
Idea connect the flash memory of the device to a USB memory stick then access the memory of the device like it's a memory stick then u can easily access root files or install root but it's desperate and silly and because the way the memory is placed on the board of the device their is no where to connect it to the memory stick.
Question 1 the command adb reboot reboots the device right but adb shell "reboot" requires root so is it possible to use the same privileges that let u run adb reboot to do root things.
Question 2 the system wipe wipes the /data file right if u could change it to wipe the /system file then u remove the system removing the problem of trying to flash the older system than the one on the device but to contradict my own question the device does the wiping in recovery mode which we can not change atm :-(.

That a good idea but Sony's locked any access to the bootloader well that's as far as I know and on top of that I think u need a unlocked bootloader which they's a project to do that atm but no progress yet

I am going into a private project now but the last progress I made is if u try to root the tablet as if it's a motorota defy then it runs as if there is no problem but at the end of the process that freeze and device needs to restarted because if u run adb devices u get (device name) offline it is mean to restart the adb automatically then if u run adb shell it should be in root it's not :-(
Anyway I hope at someone else can pick up this project I shall check in every so often and help if I can good luck I need this too.

Idont know how to brick but if u tried take care of :
8. I've bricked my device! What can I do?
- As long as your 'region.zip' file is not damaged, then for 99% your tab can be fixed.
Firstable try to flash this 3.2.1r2 firmware.
In most cases it works. If it will fail then:
1. Boot into RECOVERY;
2. Try to flash the update again - it will fail - thats ok;
3. Wait for 2-3min to get adb available;
4. Use 'adb pull /tmp';
5. Post your recovery.log and region.prop files.

will this guide help me unbrick my phone or am I now officially up $h!t creek?
if it helps the current KDZ was V20D and it was attempting to update to V20F but the update kept failing because we removed bloatware and then 10 minutes later saw a post informing us that that would stop OTA updates.

If you already have fastboot for the L9, just turn off the phone, take out the battery, run start in admin mode, choose option 1, plug in the phone when it requests, and wait 4 seconds.....insert the battery and run those commands.

When you connect, make sure to have device manager open and see if the OMAP drivers are installed. If so, you should get the inverted white LG logo. At that point, you need to run the commands.

Okay. Here's another way to install the stock recovery thanks to rarsenaux post in August........
Open LG Mobile Update (Make sure you have internet on)
Input MEID (located behind battery)
Connect phone to computer via USB in S/W upgrade mode (Vol+ then insert USB)
Let LG download and install phone recovery
NOTE: Recovery stopped at 4% install, but just leave it alone, and it will install correctly. It never went past 4%
NOTE: This will return your phone to factory settings like the day you got it, so you will have to re-root if you use this method.
Sent from my LG-P769 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
This worked but I didn't have to enter in the MEID.
I plugged the phone in.
Installed the driver while it went through a couple checks to see if the phone was connected.
While it was doing that i re-installed the drivers (actually did this part 2 or 3 times)
It finally recognized that the phone was connected and told me some type of software was up to date.
I opened up the drop down at the top of the screen and hit "Update Recovery" and let it do it's thing.
I can now turn the phone on without receiving the "Security Error" but my screens all wonky.
I've run LGPwn.apk and then reinstalled L9 Recovery but i can't boot into recovery to flash the tsfix. I have the option to boot to recovery when i open the recovery tool but the phone itself won't boot into recovery.

Hi all,
sorry im a newb to sony and am having some trouble.
I have unlocked my bootloader using dooms instructions and got a success message. I backed up the TA and restored after this process.
Everything seems ok.
I then tried the one click recovery doom bat file and got a success message from that too only i cant load recovery.
I have powered off but when i boot up i dont get any led light just the sony screen and no abount of button bashing helps.
So.. i tried the software option. i have exposed reboot and tried into recovery, tried titanium root pro, also downloaded a couple of apps supposed to do the trick (one specifically for xperia devices costing £1.25) and nothing.
I realised the one click was for the .402 firmware and mine is .55 so i searched, found dooms image for that, swapped the image files out and again a success message but the same recovery absence.
I'm assuming that if anything went wrong id have been informed via the software or with a bricked phone.
Is there a way that i can confirm all the steps i have taken? bootloader and recovery?
sorry if i have waffled i tend to do that.
thanks for your help

In your long path of unbricking, if you ever feel that you have bricked it forever, remove the back cover(if possible) and check if it has a board number. If it does, google it, download its firmware and flash it and get over with it
