Good evening to all forum..i've just bought this great tablet.
I did all the updates until you get to kitkat pero 'I read that consumes a lot of battery.
I would like some advice on how to fix it, if you go back to the previous update .... ... or put lollipop ??
Considering that I am a beginner and would like to make a few changes
greetings
The best version of android for this tablet is 4.3(SGP3xx_10.4.1.B.0.109),great battery life and really smooth. Lollipop just release yesterday so we have to test how it run for the moment.
Hello Borexz ... then back to 4.3 flashtool should I use?
Currently I also customization tim and I would take it off
Could you kindly tell the operations to do to get Android 4.3 Generic and where can I get the firmware right ?.

For now we have to wait for a version for the region, when will be available in XperiFirm.
Not everyone can use without risk of firmware for HK and TW.
I personally will wait for the recommendation of @najoor.
His great review "Xperia Tablet Z: The best stock firmware for power and performance" is impressive.

I have ordered the UMI Cross / C1 from iShoppstore and am expecting delivery just after Christmas. I am aware the problems people have had with the Chinese smartphones regarding the Wifi and GPS connectivity but I believe for the most part these are fixable so it is with interest that I await to see what problems I will have with mine. I did see some newspaper article that UMI were going to start selling their smartphones in the UK.... http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/business/news/umi-smartphones-to-launch-in-the-uk-29610580.html Not sure if this article is to be taken seriously though.
It would be nice to get the KitKat upgrade for this model though I doubt this will happen any time soon. I am very curious if you have resolved the issues you had with the Cross. Can you let me know how its going for you and what problems you've had as I'm sure my phone will be the same.
I know the transition from Android 4.1 to 4.2 included some key features but from 4.2 to 4.3 I could do without. I don't know much about the difference between 4.3 and 4.4 though. I guess I'm more worried about how the phone works when I get it.
Cheers

Hello,
I got my Z2 tablet from t-mobile germany.
It has 12 GB internal Storage.
Model: sgp521
Build-Number: 17.1.A.2.36
I would like to install the new firmware (for touch improvement) but the tablet does not show me any system update to install.
How can I get the new firmware running on the tablet?
Anyone else with the same problem?
Kind regards
Alex

Hi, same thing for me, maybe the Provider do not work on an Update to the the newest Firmware.
I read somewhere that the Firmware you mentioned, works the best and i'm runnig the same Build i had few to no Problems at all.
I takes Time but in my Opinion, when there will be Custom-Roms realased for the Z2 Tablet, i would recommend flash those, with many Reasoin's like regular Updates, Bug Fixes,... etc.
If you want to stay with the Stock-Rom, you could try to flash the latest one, here on the Z2 Tablet Forum (in General i think).
I hope i could help

Thanks.
I think I will wait for a custom-rom (like cyanogenmod or similar).
Is that in progress?
Kind regards

Hi,
i think there should be one in the Future, because the Kernel- and Rom-Sources are realased, means it shouldn't take to long until
a Custom-Roms arrives for the Z2 Tablet.

Hello Guys.
I planning of rooting my Tablet Z (SGP312) still in new-ish condition.
It is not updated still have android 4.1.2 on it (Built 10.1.C.0.370).
I just want to get rid of the sony mess what is on the tablet.
What program you recommend for this android version ?
It is not going to be my first rooting as my Galaxy phone and my LG G pad rooted as well.
I heard a lot problems with the updates (kitkat and the new lollipop) so not planning to update it.
Anybody use here other newer Android version (not from Sony) on this tablet with no Problem ?
Thanks for answer.
(If you can an email me on [email protected] would be really appreciated).

Firmware is very old, but you can root it with DooMLoRD_SuperSU.zip or DooMLoRD_Superuser.zip
Also KK and LP firmware are great, so no reasons for not updating. Also CM is working good on tablet.
Sony Tablet Z what you recommend
Thanks for the quick replies guys.
Keep up the really great work.
In the meantime Azar_98 was so kind to answer to my private message.
He recommended to put the 5.1.1 prerooted firmware onto it.
Just updated the tablet now there is 4.3 on it now (10.4 built) and there is available
the 10.5 built I think it is the Kitkat.
I see you have 5.1.1 prerooted on your tablet.
Is there any how-to on this site what explain the installation of this version ?
thanks again.

Install XZDR recovery and flash prerooted afterwards.
Phone is Xperia C5 e5553
Is this possible?
Im really not familiar with custom rom, rooting or jailbreak, however i hear these terms whenever i ask about it.
Finally a friend adviced me to visit xda and register. I would highly appreciate if someone could help.
BTW here are the apps im trying to use, but it installs a messaging app which disables the default messaging app, if youre using kitkat and newer OS.
Extreme call blocker
Shady sms
Thanks in advance!

No bro this is impossible for 2 reasons :
1- this phone is new and first firmware was 5.0 so any custom rom will be on 5.0 or up ...
2- this phone is based on mediatek chipset ... And i think no developer will make a custom rom for it ... As you see the android development part of this phone is empty ... Only official firmware is available for now
No hope for jelly bean custom rom ... Why you need it ? Lollipop is much better and more beautiful and faster than jellybean (except battery usage )

Now i would have to download a different messaging app for it to work.
Hello dear Elephants, I'm really honoured to belong here because of my new Elephone S8. I really love the hardware but software is really buggy. So, referring to https://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-s8/development/rom-elephone-s8-15-10-eragon-1-0-t3689359, is that a good idea to replace the firmware? If some of you is using this ROM, you can also provide me the pros and cons. Many thanks in advance!
If you're familiar with such things, going from stock to custom and back is pretty simple. Why not just give it a test drive?
I'm not so familiar. I've been flashing lots of ROMs in my lifetime but not into this particular device. Which method do I use to flash firmware?
Will I die, if I flash the Eragon ROM from Elephone's firmware update section?
If you're going to run a custom ROM, spending a couple of hours reading through the thread for that ROM might be worth your time, as it will contain the answers to many of your questions and possibly save you from some future troubles.
Thanks! Will do as you say.
I used eragon rom for a few months but the developer has withdrawn from the project and the latest version is not really stable. I had some network problems and some weeks ago I got problems with massive battery drain of about 15% per hour without any heavy usage. The only thing that helped was to go back to stock. Since then I'm on stock rom again and everything is fine now. I don't experience any major differences in performance.
Anyway I hope the developer will continue his work on the S8 and eragon rom in the future, at least if android 8 will be released.

You can download the latest stock version here:
https://bbs.elephone.hk/forum.php?m...ra=page=1&filter=typeid&typeid=151&typeid=151
Unpack the rar file and load the scatter file with flashtool. Be careful which boxes are checked in the list. I accidently deleted all data (including external memory) from the phone because this option was checked by default!
Edit: I have corrected the link above, the first one did not work.
You can also download on Mega with the following link:
