Maybe bricked - please help - Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
In my desperation of installing freexperias aosp rom on my tablet I used the command "fastboot erase system" and "fastboot erase user data" .. And now when I'm in twrp I am unable to mount data. It's like I can't mount the system partition
What do I do? I've been searching around but not able to find a fix yet

Maybe i can fix it with emma?
I just installed it but i have to make an account to use it. AND they have to approve me to make the account.
Any kind soul who want's to share their account for a moment??

You have installed the wrong one you won't get anyone to share user and password for that version
Sent from my Xperia™ Z5 using Tapatalk

I probably did.. But i can't seem to find the right version. Can you please help mate?
*Edit* Found it now - now i hope it works

I'm trying this site: http://www.flashtool.net/firmwares.php but it doesn't seem like the Z4 tablet is on the list?
*EDIT* Z4 tablet is not supported....

I'm lost.. Thinking about returning to my retailer....

So from all that I read here, I make out that you can't flash any custom ROMs on it also?

At the moment it seems so. Luckily tomorrow marshmallow starts Rolling in.

Yep marshmallow is comming tomorrow. But how does that help me guys? I mean usually the only way we can update to mm is OTA with a working version of Android? Or does sony also send it out as a "IMG." Or "zip"??

[Q] Error on installing Lollipop rom

Hi Guys!
Is there any soul who can help me out?
I have a SGP321 Tab Z version with stock 4.4 on it, and rooted with towelroot (i guess this is the name!)
Every single update i've done since initial version 4.1 had been without any problems and all by OTA.
Now, after downloading the latest version, after click install button, i get a message box telling me that the tablet will restart and will take some 41 minutes to do the job. OK then, it reboots, but after one or two minutes max, it reboots again and nothing done. Then on the notification bar i get a message saying that the update failed and i should do it again.
Well Mates, after 5 tries i gave up?
Maybe someone have had a problem like this one??
Might have something to do with the root method?? I really can't figure out....
Thanks for your kind help in advance.

To tell long story short, it is because you are rooted. Before applying OTA device checks system files for modifications and stops install if it finds one. Root as you know is a modification.
So, any suggestion?
What should i do?
Thanks, again

Sorry to bother again, but on the second link you provided, something have frightened me:
"...Unfortunately, XZDualRecovery isn't working for TabZ with Lollipop at the moment.
That's why it is not included..."
So, will it work?

[Q] Help with update please

Ok so I have an SGP771 that is on build 28.0.A8.260 and running the AndroPlus V12 kernel and I am attempting to update via Sony companion software. The software has downloaded the update and attempts to start the update, it shuts the tablet down then on the software screen I get:
Startup error
An error occurred while preparing to update your device. Your device is unchanged.
Please try again later. If the problem persists, contact Sony support.
Error code: UEGetPhoneInfoFailure
CompanionUE 3417, UE_2003
Ok so is this because I have the AndroPlus kernel? What am I missing, I haven't seen this problem articulated by anyone else so I am guessing I am missing something simple but can't for the life of me understand what.
I am new to Sony devices and certainly long for the simplicity of HTC updates... Why does Sony make things so difficult when it doesn't have to be...

Thank you for the information. I will probably end up just selling the damn tablet as flashtool apparently can't be downloaded without torrent software which is ridiculous. OMG I never realized the pain Sony users had to go through for something that should be simple.
Again thank you for sharing the information, I am very frustrated which is probably coming through more than anything else but I do appreciate the assistance and willingness to share information.

I agree that smasung or HTC tablet is better as it has custom roms. But for me, having Sony tablet is also a great deal especially after being a user of ios, and having endless awaiting of jailbreak.
Pccompanion suppose you to have untouched system files, in order to save all your data on internal storage after an update , and if you modified it with xposed, luckypatcher and other stuff. Of course something goes wrong if pccompanion tries to update it with saving data.
For me, using flashtool is no problem at all. Important information is saved on sdcard, apps are recovered by google account.

Thanks. My only point with HTC was that you only need to know your way around ADB and Fastboot really and you can load just about anything when the bootloader is unlocked.
I have Flashtool working but stuck at the part where I am trying to flash the update to the device as it says the device isn't in debug mode but I have usb debugging selected and I've reloaded drivers so I am not certain were to go from here with it.
Ok so finally got MM loaded and have loaded AndroPlus V20 loaded. Can't for the life of me find a link for downloading the TWRP 3.0 image, TWRP doesn't list the Xperia Z4 Tablet in their devices list at all and I am totally baffled as to where I even found the 2.8.7 image I had.
I find no posts with a download link anywhere in the Z4 forums, what am I missing? I am not normally this helpless in finding stuff on XDA but it really seems that anything for this device is a struggle...

If you can go to TWRP recovery then use flashable stock rom to recover your phone.Or try flashing boot.img from the stock rom also.This should work.

If you face any problem and need to improve or add new features in the rom just comment in the Rom's thread or PM that Rom Developer because he is the one who build rom for your device.Here me or anyone can't help you with this. And always use stable build.Don't try too fast to try Recently developing Alpha,beta or nightly rom.It contains too many issues and bugs.but if you want to help developer and you know how to handle your phone in such bad situation you can go for those builds and provide Dev log to develpoer.

How to use QPST to unbrick redmi note 4(mido)?

Must I change the port to 9008? But how?
It is impossible, but can not unlock the line brush downgrade. Can only use the official release of the unlock tool to unlock, because the millet made some restrictions. To be honest, I hate it!

Try flashing the latest firmware available. This might solve the issue. You can find the firmware download links here. Use global stable.

If you want to know the know-how of how to revert back to stock MIUI configuration then you are asking me to duplicate a work of another XDA member and am not of a fan of doing that. :silly:
What I mean is just visit @sachin n 's index thread and you will find the answer to your question.
Sachin's thread will definitely help you.

Lenovo A7000 Hard Brick

Hello guy, I was trying to add new custom ROM of lineageos 15.1 in my phone. So I flashed TWRP and successfully installed custom rom lineageos 15.1 with root addon on my phone.
It was working very well, but due to lots of apps, it is getting slower. So I downloaded titanium backup pro (Cracked One) to remove the pre-installed apps of Google.
When I just installed the titanium backup pro app, it restarts my phone, and my phone stopped working (stuck at TWRP recovery screen). So I thought to reinstall the lineageos 15.1. But this time whenever I try to install the file, it sends me back to the starting point of TWRP recovery mode.
So I got pissed off and opened the SP FLASH tool to remove TWRP, but I don't have any idea how to remove it, so I go to the format section of sp flash tool and format the phone.
Now I tried to power on my device, but it wasn't showing a logo of TWRP or Lenovo it was just a black screen. So I figure out by googling that my phone is hard bricked so I tried to flash the Lenovo a7000 framework with SP Flash Tool, but nothing worked out.
So here I am asking for help in XDA Developers Forum. Please help me out I will not get any other phone till my JEE Advanced Exam

Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that...
But unfortunately I don't think I can help you with that, I mean, if I understand, you erased TWRP recovery, and you can't enter fastboot mode so I don't how we can install anything on it...
That sucks!
If you really need a phone, try to get an extra cheap clap phone to deal with calls an SMS, and to manage your Google account use a PC.
Except that, I can't help you anymore.
Stay strong :highfive:
