Has anyone used the app or website to flash Firmware or a recovery to the G925F? It's the only way for me to currently add a recovery or ROM as I have a Chrome book with Linux running alongside it and I don't fancy bricking my phone.

It seems like all tutorials for a mac are so outdated. The new android sdk doesn't have adb so I can't do any tutorial that tells you to use adb, rom manager didn't install it like it was supposed to, I don't have odin so I can't do it the easy way, that weird mac program that is supposed to be like odin can't detect my phone, and now all I've got is the stock android recovery and no stock operating system.
What can I do from the stock recovery to get clockwork on this thing?
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.
Re:Stock or Custom ROM flashing with TWRP...
Let me preface this to say that I am a "noob" when it comes to all things Android,that being said I need some helpful replies re:flashing (with Windows 7 64 bit PC or Smartphone...)a custom or stock ROM (if TWRP is to flash the image,will need a zipped ROM)to an Alcatel One Touch Fierce XP-5054N smatphone that has mysteriously lost Android 5.1.1 Lollipop after downloading,installing TWRP recovery app /) ; after installing TWRP recovery , i noticed that "TWRP" had erased my Android OS so I will need a download link (or ?) for a good Stock Alcatel 5054N ROM or custom ROM copy that is compatible with the aforementioned smartphone...
I will also need to know the best way to reflash/install Android 5.1.1 (or later android OS version)...to my Alcatel(i prefer to install via the smartphone since the smartphone has issues being recognized by any windows adb drivers(well,the smartphone shows up in windows explorer when connected to a USB 2.0 port,but any PC based flashware i've tried cannot find my smartphone!?!?)
Thanks in advance for a pertinent reply!!
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
I need the stock recovery image for flashing the stock firmware. Could anyone please post the stock recovery image?
you will need an app called Oxygen Updater which you can find here: https://github.com/oxygen-updater/oxygen-updater/releases
If you are stuck without an Android you could also sideload the pixel experience rom on then load the app after you sideloaded that.
you also have to enable advanced settings in the app as well to get a file. but as of rn i don't believe it is currently possible to flash the OTA unless if the pixel experience rom turns back on the OTA option because you cant do a local OTA.
But i just have the normal pixel experience and not the plus version.
The kind of thing we never touch ^^
OK. I got it via payload dumper
