I have the Sony Xperia Tablet S Model Number: SGPT1211
SGPT121US/S
I could boot this device into recovery, but I can't flash anything especially signed update files that I have received from threads on this forum.
I own the Wi-fi version of the tablet, so if anybody could please help me..
All it does when it boots on is stay at the boot screen "Sony" and does nothing, I even tried trying the S.onyXT.S [Unbricker] v1.0 and it went through all of the steps but when I get to step #7 it says "Put SD card to tablet, power it on, and when it will show [COLD-BOOTING] text - connect it to pc, and press enter. I press enter and it says "Waiting for device..." PS. I don't even know what [COLD-BOOTING] text means, if you could please help me I'll be very appreciative! I also have Skype if we can talk and help me if YOU can, please PM me your Skype if you have one! Thanks.
PS. It says "Preparing SD....
Invalid drive specification
[*] Writing UNBRICK DATA to SD!
It then writes the data to the SD "It claims" and I put my SD CARD in my tablet and it doesn't [COLD BOOT]
End result: 1,625M
1625+0 records in
1625+0 records out
[*] SD ready..
[*] LETS UNBRICK YOUR [COFFEE PAD]! ;]
[*] PUT SD CARD TO TABLET, POWER IT ON, AND WHEN IT WILL SHOW [COLD-BOOTING] TEXT - CONNECT IT TO PC, AND PRESS ENTER
[IT DOESN'T DO IT, I'M GUESSING BECAUSE OF THE "INVALID DRIVE SPECICIFICATION"
ANY FIX? PLEASE..

Hi,
Has anyone managed to download the firmware update from Huawei's website here? I've been unable to download it for weeks now. The link seems to be down. Any mirrors?
Are you serious?
Try the search feature?
I managed to download it after trying several times. However, I keep getting a FAIL when I follow the instructions, i.e. copy the dload directory to the root of my sdcard, insert it, press and hold volume down + power button.
And from the FAIL screen, I can only reboot back into the update screen, which fails again.
1. What have I done wrong?
2. Since the battery is fixed, how can I force shutdown?
Usually that happens if the download is corrupted. Try to redownload the fw again. Btw, have you tried to remove the SD card? If the SD card with dload folder (with relevant files inside) is inserted then it would always go to the update screen.
to force shutdown hold power button for 10 seconds
Thanks. Turns out there's something wrong with my sdcard. I don't know why - they're working perfectly fine in Windows or in other phones. Anyway, I tried a 3rd card and it worked.
make sure that your card is formatted to FAT32
Sooooo this is a little embarrassing but PLEASE, I need help here .
My friend has a knackered old Elonex Etouch 1000ET (AKA Zenithink ZT-180 I think) that he is determined to hang on to but has locked himself out of (forgot his pin). I've assured him that I could easily facctory reset this for him and/or install a newer / custom ROM on there to help it perform better than it does at the moment - from what I can gather it's running an OLD version of Android, possibly Eclair and it's slow as hell.
Now I've been at this for 2 hours now and I can't work out for the life of me how to do it on this thing. I've been rooting / flashing phones for years without trouble but this is really doing my head in!
Here's what I've tried:
- Connected via the OTG port but Windows (Win7 64bit) doesn't want to install the drivers and then can't find it in device manager
- Tried the above while booting into 'update mode' (Holding home button or the left volume key and booting) - result is 'No zImage_update'
- Copied all relevant files (ZT_Bx.boot, zImage, system.pack.img, userdata.pack.img) to a folder called zt-update on the root of the SD card but still get the 'No zImage_update' message.
I get that this is a piece of crap tablet but it's a favour for a mate and I need to get this done. Please please PLEASE can somebody help here lol. I just want to wipe the damn thing and get it working again.
Cheers.
Fixed
For those looking for a solution to this, I found out a way:
- First go to http://www.elonex.com/index.php/support/etouch/1000et/ and download the elonex.com/support/etouch/1000ET-FWv1122.zip
- Then go here and follow this post to reformat your MicroSD card with a fresh FAT32: http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/198...hing-roms/page__st__40__p__219055#entry219055
- Extract the 'zt-update' file from the first zip and put it in the root folder of your squeaky clean SD card
- Pop the SD card back into the tablet, hold the volume down button and turn it on.
You're welcome.

Try this , Hold just vol down and plug USB cable : ). This is for fastboot mode , so if you are able to get your device recognised extract update.app with huawei extractor tool .
Example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKRTbv-6Kzc
Today when I saw at XDA app that I have a replay I said “ Thank God my problem is over” but nop!! A new problem appeared. I download the extractor tool but when I open the update.app file I saw that there where not all the files needed as I saw at the video example. So two possibilities exist. Neither the files are not indeed inside the .app file or my myopia has gone up and I can’t see.
Any help please??
P.S I tried to upload a screenshot from extraction tool but with now luck.

Can you post on the internet like on the https://imgur.com/upload and send me link to private message .
Hello!
I tried with the files you suggested but I can not go into fast boot mode or any mode so I’m starting to believe that there is no way fix it. The only think it does when I try all button combinations is to restart nothing more. I appreciate all the help but maybe there is no way to get into it.
Great news!!!
I finally managed to install the new firmware. :laugh: After doing again and again what I've been advised
All i did was to press Vol+ and Vol - while pressing power button and voila! ! The little green robot appeared and start to install the programme. I forgot to say that i put the 'dload' folder into SD card.
Thanks for all the help!!:good::good:
