Hi, everyone, I just got my z3 tablet and I am in love with it except i don't like the interface. So i decide to root my tablet without unlocking the bolted and I did made it and i did install TWRP. I have a question, since I have TWRP is it possible for me to install cm 12 rom or I need to have a unlock boot loader in order to install it?
Sorry for my bad english and thank you for answering my questions.

You need to unlock to flash a custom kernel which would be needed by the cm12 to run. So first.
1.Backup drm keys
2.Unlock BL
3. Flash CM kernel via fastboot
4. Flash CM Rom via recovery.

I just bought a Z3 tablet compact, which should be here at the end of next week. I haven’t found a tutorial which includes all steps to get from the standard rom to CM12. Did I miss any steps or does the following steps include everything?
Root tablet on the original Sony rom
Backup TA partition (I guess that's where the DRM keys are?)
Unlock bootloader
Flash a recovery (any recommendations?) I found this tutorial, but I only need one recovery and I don’t want to flash that zip every time I install a new rom.
Flash CM12. Are there any kernels beside that one included in the CM12 zips?

I guess you should just flash the kernel via fastboot after unlocking the bootloader, that would eliminate the need to flash a recovery. It's hitting 2 birds and one stone and besides CM uses a different kernel than stock so later you would really need to flash kernel.

Thanks for your reply. The whole flashing procedure is a lot more complicated than on my S3, so I have a follow-up question.
Should I just backup the TA partition, unlock the tablet, flash this kernel which should give me root and TWRP and then flash another recovery and CM12?
I found this recovery which is only semi-permanent, because you have to flash it before you upgrade/install a new CM12 version. It’s not big deal tbh, but is there a permanent recovery, which I only have to install once.
I'm also curious about this.
Right now, I'm trying to download the Flashtool program from Sony, but apparently, you need to "register" for it. Where did you guys download your Flashtool from?

Correct, make sure the kernel is compatible with CM

The whole procedure is really frustrating, maybe someone can help me here.
I did a backup of the TA partition and unlocked the bootloader. I tried flashing the boot.img from the cm.zip, but I have no idea how to flash the rom via the cm-recovery.
Flashing the advanced kernel to get TWRP wasn’t successful as well. I tried the fastboot mode of the Flashtool and flashed the kernel, but nothing changed.
Can someone post a brief guide with the next steps to get CM12 running (with cmd commands pls)?
EDIT: I just tried to use “adb sideload” in the CM recover, but “adb devices” doesn’t show the tablet .
EDIT2: EDIT: Seems like I got it to work after all. The DualRecover Installer worked, even without SuperSU installed.

I ran into the same problem usin the cm12 nightlies from 27th march 2015:
Sideloading would not work because the tablet is not recognized by the computer. I tried with Windows 7 and gentoo Linux.
Installing from the sd-card in recovery mode was also not possible due to a error of missing "/misc".
I solved the problem by manually choosing the driver in Windows 7. I booted the tablet into recovery. Choose update using adb as detailed in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-...t/root-root-locked-bootloader-sgp621-t3013534
Then I found the device in the windows device manager. Here I manually choose the adb driver that I installed earlier from the flashtool package. After that the device was correctly recognized by Windows and I could Sideloade the cm12 image.
Hey I have a
SGP321 with:
Android version : 5.1.1 / kernel version : 3.4.0-perf-gbccb33a / Build number : 10.7.A.0.228
I cannot comprehend how to root it.
I managed to unlock bootloader, using FlashTool, and a code from Sony's developer page.
I want to install this rom:
Resurrection Remix M for Xperia Tablet Z (Wi-Fi/LTE)
It seems like rooting is failing due to the Android 5.1.1 .. Then where can I get the 4.4.2 firmware ?
I'm from Norway, and the device isn't locked to any carrier.

To flash RR 5.7.4 you need to have a Recovery.
To root:
Download kingroot apk from below link and install it. Follow the steps in that app and your device will be rooted.
https://king-root.net/wp-content/KingrootV4.9.6.apk
To flash recovery:
Select: TabZ-lockeddualrecovery2.8.26-RELEASE.combined.zip from the link below. And follow the Read Me.txt to install recovery.
http://nut.xperia-files.com/path/XZDualRecovery/XZDualRecovery_2.8.26
TAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR DATA BEFORE YOU START TO DO ALL THESE.
I JUST HELP AND TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY TO WHATEVER HAPPENS TO YOUR DEVICE.
All the best

It's actually much much easier/faster to flash RR boot.img straghtforward (Flashtool -> Fastboot -> Select Kernel to Flash) and install .zip afterwards via built in recovery.
Cause NUT's recovery is kinda dated now, and is not meant to install custom ROMs, though it can do it on pollux, but very often is unable on pollux_windy.
I'm going to download and try.
I managed to brick the tablet into a continuous boot and reboot. But I am lucky enough to get it into flashmode...
I tried flashing some other original ROM, but it was for Vodafone in UK. I tried to recover it with the official Sony program (Essentials?), but it said that my device was rooted. But I guess its because I have unlocked the bootloader. I have also requested to be able to use Sony Emma/Embla or something for flashing.
I was trying to get to Android 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 to be able to root. Its so much software out there. It's like getting into a new territory of learning.
I managed to do something....
What I have done before was to open the bootlocker. If it did matter... Using newest flashtool.
I got an Spanish FTF Rom file from the Flashtool Site, SGP321_10.1.1.A.1.307_Customized_ES.ftf. Flashed it somehow using a elderly flashtool (0.9.18.6), could probably work on a newer one but God's will and such.
I then downloaded DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v17_perf-event-exploit. And installed SuperSU or something. Settings: USB Debug and allow unsigned/foreign APK's.
There is a gap in my memory here (maybe I started TabZ-lockeddualrecovery2.8.26-RELEASE.combined).
My tablet booted into a recovery mode after doing something on my PC with the tablet powered in normal system (USB debug), and I now have managed to select my desired, ROM, and Gapps (No clue what it is yet) and a kernel that they recommended.
Now its currently Optimizing my apps (Preinstalled I guess). 106 apps.
Update1:
Popup "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped". I did see some google stuff also do the same
I am trying to factory reset with wipe.
There was now a different recovery menu.. Hmm. I had to disconnect the battery to get out of the menu. ( I have opened the tablet beforehand).
Maybe its that GAPS stuff that didn't install...
If this fails again I will try and install gaps again inside recovery.

you need to install gaps right after ROM install, or you'll will have setup wizard error.
I managed to install Ressurection M.
It was very painfull, I had many tries over the course of 3 days.
I flashed a older spanish 4.4.2 (i think) firmware.
Then I rootet it using kingroot I think.
Then I installed TWRP.
Since the Sony tablet doesn't boot into recovery with keypresses I had to boot into recovery in software.
I then wiped about everything, I formated System partition also. Because If I do not the old applications will follow into the new ROM.
I then flashed Resurection M, and GAPPS on the same time. I do not remember If I also flashed the Kernel also now or after.
I think I concluded with that the Kernel had to be flashed at the same time.
If I did something wrong I just flashed the old spanish firmware over again and redo. I actually liked the old firmware due to it was much nicer user interface. The new one on Android 6 is kind of hard to manage. But I get more screenspace now.
Hello! i have used the search tool to see if there is a custom recovery for my device but i am unable to find any. I found TB-X103F custom twrp but im unsure about trying it!.
I may be rather early as this tablet only recently came out.
Lenovo X 104F- 1 GB RAM
I own the same tablet , found also a solution to root it . Just to try other Custom ROMs you do not need to root it ....it is project TREBLE compatible ! This means that you can , with fastboot and ADB , install various GSI images )
ATTENTION : this method does not allow you to go back easily to the factory ROM !!! If you wish to do so, you need to root your Tab and make a full backup with one of the solutions described here in XDA ! Titanium or so .
I have installed Lineage 15 (Oreo 8) on my device and it runs without any problem ......Custom ROMs based on Pie make still some issues ! Be aware , that for one or other reason on my tablet i can install only ROM that is less than 1 GB after unzip !!!

Care to share any links?
Since Lenovo/Motorola added our E10 / TB-X104F to the recovery tool I decided to play around with hacking apart this awesome and terrible table. Long-story-short... you can unlock it using the normal FASTBOOT commands. A MAGISK modified BOOT.IMG does work which gave me full root access to the tablet. If people are interested I'll write up a guide... but a little bit of research on MAGISK and grabbing the Lenovo recovery tool will be your first step if starting from scratch.
Next step is getting a recovery image. I'm currently looking into getting this tablet into the TWRP BUILDER queue, but at the time of this writing their queue is full.
UPDATE: Just saw the TWRP BUILDER team has had everything on hold for over a month now. Guess I'll need to see about building this locally in my free time.

I can attest to this, I flashed the last Resurrection Remix Oreo GSI (12/21/18) and a (Magisk) rooted kernal I got from firmware (Lenovo MOTO Smart Assistant). And so far everything seems to be working fine.
So I also flashed resurrection remix pie gsi... it works as well... only thing is it doesn't come with gapps... and without twrp i can't flash a gapps package. The resurrection remix I used was the final oreo build... zt has gapps pre-installed... you have to register the device with google because it is not certified... but after that everything seem good. One thing to mention is both the oreo and pie builds are "go edition" so some features are missing because of that... one in particular I noticed is notification access for 3rd party apps... go edition devices don't have that feature
Do either of you all have a step-by-step guide to rooting the device and installing either the Lineage or RR ROM?
Also, what works and what doesn't on the tablet afterwards?

Use Lenovo MOTO Smart Assistant to repair your tablet (you wont actually repair tablet, just using to get firmware)
Follow steps to get to download the firmware (it will save to ProgramData folder, its hidden folder... in widows anyway)
Take the boot image (boot.img) from firmware folder and transfer to storage on tablet
Instal magisk manager and use to patch the boot image you transfered from computer
Transfer patched boot image back to computer
Download the latest oreo gsi for resurrection remix or lineage
Use fastboot to unlock bootloader
Use fast boot to flash gsi
Use fastboot to flash patched boot image
Google anything you need help with...
I used the resurrection remix oreo also because there is a build that has gapps pre-installed... the pie version works but doesn't have gapps pre-installed and without twrp I couldn't find a way to install them
After tablet boots up install magisk manager and you will be rooted
You will need to register your device with google because it will not be certified... that was a pain to get done even though the process is pretty straight forward
So far only "issues" I have encountered are not actually issues they are due to the fact that the resurrection remix gsi is android "go edition" I haventr tried lineage because I like the customization options that resurrection remix offers
Here is the magisk patched boot image I made so you can skip that part...
https://www.mediafire.com/download/x4d3xp8w3e8bw3g
Just to confirm the sequence of events (and thank you for the magisk-altered file):
1. Move magisk-modified boot image to the tablet.
2. Download latest version of Lineage OS or RR; move that file to the tablet as well
3. DL magisk manager APK and move that to the tablet as well
3. Boot the tablet into Bootloader and flash the new OS file first
fastboot flash recovery file.img
4. Then flash the boot.img altered by magisk
fastboot flash recovery boot.img
5. Reboot the tablet (will it load with the new ROM?)
6. Install magisk manager
Questions on the flashing:
A: Do you flash the .img and the ROM through fastboot shell command on your computer or do you install them in recovery mode?

So you want all files on the computer at first...
When you unlock bootloader it will wipe the tablet.
Flash the the gsi image then the magisk patched boot image using fastboot (there are instructions on xda regarding flashining gsi... you have to wipe system before flashing)
After tablet reboots to resurrection remix move the magisk manager apk to the tablet and install it... open magisk manager and you should have magisk installed giving you root and so much more.
Before you attempt this make sure you familiarize yourself with all the steps... search google/xda.
Also... I will say this... I tried to just root the tablet first but it wouldn't boot after so I tried to fix it using the Lenove tool and it failed... flashing the resurrection remix gsi with the patched boot image saved me from a lot of headache and wasted time... I would prefer if it was not a "go edition" rom but its still better than stock.
Sorry, more follow-up questions:
1. My bootloader is unlocked. It did not wipe the device (I used the "developer options" in the "Settings" menu to do it. Fastboot indicates the bootloader is unlocked. Do I need to redo unlocking the bootloader? For what it's worth, all my attempts to flash everything with my presumably unlocked bootloader have been unsuccessful.
2. Where did you find a .gsi of Lineage OS 15 for the Lenovo TB-X104F? I cannot find one.
Thanks

Make sure you fastboot flash unlock and fastboot flash unlock_critical. Just look an here for the links for lineage gsi. It flashes just fine and is super easy. I have resurrection remix on my 104f. I'm trying to compile twrp for it right now but hard to do with kids lol also if you use the lenovo tool you can download the recovery files which has boot recovery and all that in it and you can use magisk to patch the boot.ing and then copy that to the Lenovo tool and replace the stock boot img then recover it and you now have a working patched boot.img. I went through the same thing
Any Luck?
Any luck with that twrp? I'm willing to test it out...
Would like to be able to use the resurrection remix pie rom with gapps. So I can hopefully give some helpful feedback... one warning I am an amateur at anything beyond using fastboot and some adb commands, but I can learn pretty quick if i have the time to spend...
Another warning I have a sub-par windows pc to work with (and its the wife's) it prob can't run Linux in VM.
Disable "go edition" in Resurrection Remix Oreo
Using root explorer...
Navigate to /system
Copy build.prop to internal storage
Navigate to where you saved copy of build.prop
Edit build.prop that you copied to internal storage...
Find ro.config.low_ram=true and change to ro.config.low_ram=false
Save and exit file
Copy edited build.prop back to /system (make backup of original and overwrite with edited one)
Set permissions to owner read write (rw-------)
Navigate to /sbin/.magisk/mirror/system
Copy build.prop to internal storage
Navigate to where you saved copy of build.prop
Edit build.prop that you copied to internal storage...
Find ro.config.low_ram=true and change to ro.config.low_ram=false
Save and exit file
Copy edited build.prop back to /sbin/.magisk/mirror/system (make backup of original and overwrite with edited one)
Set permissions to owner read write (rw-------)
Reboot
This allowed me to set notification access again (its disabled in "go edition")
Hey guys, I'm trying to follow the steps in this thread to install Resurrection Remix Pie on the tablet using fastboot but whenever I try to flash a ROM to the system partition I get a (remote: size too large) error.. Does anyone know why this could be? I've tried using flags like -S, I've wiped the partitions and I don't know what else I can try. I have tried with Lineage, AOSiP and RR GSIs.
Thanks.
I cant get this to work.. What version of RR or Lineage OS works with tb-x104f?
up..................
I got the final version of rr oreo running fine... no luck with the latest rr pie unfortunately...
Anyone know if this is an A or AB device?
Hello,
A long time ago my brother has done something more stupid – had made root in Sony Xperia Z2 with TWRP, using the latest version of Sirius. As he has bought his new mobile phone, he has given me his old mobile phone, but he was not interested in formatting, de-rooting or fixing the bug of AudioFX, then I decided to work on my own. I made a lot of researches about how to fix the bug of AudioFX, so no luck.
As I wanted to de-root, I had to use my friend and sister's computers with Windows, using Kingo Root, because I am a Linux user, but no luck.
Then I downloaded the original and de-rooted image from TWRP, booted into TWRP mode, and flashed that image into Recovery. After, I could not boot any more. I tried to press power and Volume - and Volume +, but I could not boot either. I plugged the mobile phone into my laptop with Linux, but it was not recognised.
I read the following topics of XDA Developers, trying to train myself, but no luck:
1. Problem with TWRP 3.0.2 and encryption to solve boot loop
2.. [Q] Flashtool tool failed after amss_fsg.sin, can't flash phone
3. Downgrade to KitKat?
4. Unknown firmware, no boot, I can't flash
5. I can not flash!
6. Boot loop after flashing any ROM
7. To flash the recover Rebooting into TWRP recovery ... adb is not recognized

Sounds like you just soft bricked your device. ?
As far as i know it's easily fixable.
I might be able to help you out with few more info. ✌
Was it a 3G one or a LTE one ?
What rom were you on ?
A custom one or stock one ?
And what exactly do you want to achieve ? A stock rom with no root ? ?

An original ROM without root. I know a de-rooted and rooted Android 7 and 8 cause AudioFX bugs.
Can You still boot into twrp ?
If so did you try flashing a stock rom via a zip ?
Or you can use the fastboot but i won't be much of a help unless you have a windows pc ,i'm not familiar with Linux ?

Did you install the fastboot unsigned drivers as + ADB ?
Whole process should be something like this
Disable windows driver signature enforcement.
[URL="https://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how...igned-drivers/"][/URL]
Restart your pc or laptop.
Install ADB.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0MKgCbUM0itSUhpUklCTFpzWkE&authuser=0
Install flashtool-0.9.18.6 with all the drivers.
(For some reason this is the most compatible one for Xperia Z2)
Then try flash twrp recovery using the flashtool. ✌
Hello,
I just managed to generate TWRP recovery for S912 Android 9 version, you can install the official TWRP app to flash with in the ROM.
But after reboot the ROM goes back to stock recovery, so for now i am installing everytime i need to use recovery, unless i am able to find a permanent solution.
Link to TWRP
Suggestions welcome if you have for keeping the recovery persistent.
Regards
I was able to keep it persistent but if I go to install all I get for folder names is a mess. Using Superceleron's generic SC normal pie rom. Appeared to install magisk but magisk manager didn't see it and I lost superuser access so I had to reflash rom. I hope you or others can pick up on TWRP for this. Unfortunately I don't have the knowledge so can only test. Liking the Superceleron rom on my T95Z(2/16) much better than poison or stock (so far... still testing...). Glad to see these old devices getting some new love. Hopefully it will continue.

Jumbled charcters is because the ROM is encrypted and this recoveery is not able to decrypt it.
Bumping this, going to test this on Aidans rom
Update: could not confirm if it works it looks like the reset button is not mapped on Aidans rom. The weird thing is it works if I use the USB burn tool but not when I do a regular boot.

Do you mean we can flash using amlogic usb burning tool, I am now struggling to install this ROM on khadas 64 android 9 ROM by Highway star
Hi @eagledipesh!
I managed to install your TWRP successfully on Aidan's ROM, thank you very much!
First I unpacked the Aidan' ROM with the Customizatio Tool, then I replaced the original recovery with your TWRP. I repackaged the ROM and flashed it with the AMLogic USB Burning Tool.
With TWRP and I did a full backup and I was also able to restore without errors. However, after restoring and booting the system, it gets stuck on AndroidTV splash screen.
Maybe I need to port the correct TWRP, because when unpacking your recovery with AIK, I saw in one of the files that the model is gxm_q201_2g, but my Android Box is gxm_q200_3g.
1. What base TWRP did you use to create your TWRP?
2. I tried porting TWRP myself from Aidan's ROM recovery, I can even get into recovery, but the letters are all scrambled. Can you help me make my own port?

I used one of the twrp port guides, twrp was stock one, with stock recovery extracted from initial Android 9 builds by Highway star'
You can use the official twrp as base and then recovery from any of rom for your device

Are you talking about the Wiko Highway Star? Any special reason for using this ROM as a base? How do I know which version of TWRP to use?
i create a twrp for my amlogic T972 but can't boot into it, don't know where to start fix bug
Can you help me build a twrp for this? Or can you teach me do that? Thank you @eagledipesh
Is there now a working TWRP for the Yoka KB2 Pro 3gb on Android 9.0? I would prefer to have an img file, but if there is really no other way, I would also take the zip version.
Thank you and best regards
