Dear XDA-developers!
I have a big problem with my SGP321 with locked bootloader.
What I did to get into it:
1. I had two SGP321 tablets (with different serial numbers, let's call them SN1 and SN2).
2. In TWRP (installed from TabZ-lockeddualrecovery2.8.22-RELEASE.installer.zip) I made backups from SN1 to ext-sdcard.
3. I installed the same TWRP to SN2, then renamed TWRP/SN1 folder on ext-sdcard to TWRP/SN2. (it was very wrong decision!!!! do not repeat my mistake!!!)
4. I restored TWRP/SN2 to SN2 with all default settings (so restored all SN1's partitions /boot, /ta, /system, /cache, /data to SN2 ). (it was very wrong decision!!!! do not repeat my mistake!!!)
For now I have only SN2 in hard-bricked state.
* It blinks red on charge but does not consume current.
* It connects to PC only in flashmode, so fastboot mode is not available.
* Windows 8.1 PC detects it as SOMC Flash Device (USB VID 0x0fce, USB PID 0xadde).
* FlashTool reports the following:

Is it possible to repair my tablet at home?
Does SGP321 have test-point for S1tool?
Does it have JTAG and UART connector (as described on Sony Mobile Developer World in "Access UART ports" article)?
What do you recommend to unbrick my tablet?

Wrong section, This is for Xperia Z only (the phone not the tablet!).
Anyway, since your tablet can connect in flashmode, can you find a Twrp flashable that can be flashed through flashtool, or maybe a modified ftf so it can do the trick to be able to boot into twrp?

Thank you for reply.
I have FTF and zip files. When I try to flash ftf with FlashTool I got the same result (see 3 red lines in the post above).

As I said earlier, you are on the wrong section of the forum. This is dedicated part of the forum for the Xperia Z (the phone) and not the Xperia Tablet Z. So you should post this on the right section if you want to get some help.
Anyway, I checked a bit for you and please take a look at this thread, maybe it can help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849170
Also, from what I remember from a different tablet (Kindle HDX), or any device that needs its Primary Partitions fixed you need to put the device in Qualcomm Download mode (9008) and have the correct files in order to flash. The problem stands here because Qualcomm (the maker of the cpu and board) distributes these files only to OEMs and the only way to have them is for someone to leak them. Maybe what I just wrote doesn't apply to your case but is nice to know... and btw somebody posted this for the Xperia Ultra Z and the Z1, you can take a look ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2646405 ) but remember: DO NOT TRY THIS ON YOUR DEVICE because it has different Cpu and it is not compatible with those devices.

Please help!!
I would do the following:
1 - Change usb port and retry,
2 - Test flashmode by connecting to the computer (ensure that the light remains green) until you disconnect
So my friend tried to flash the latest rom 23.1.D0.509 he said it would straight fail. He tried a different download, it failed somewhere flashing it. now the phone doesn't boot up. It will go into recovery (stock) and flash mode. when I try to flash the old or new ftf it gives me this erro "19/048/2015 20:48:37 - ERROR - Can't read a byte value" I'm now stuck. any ideas?
After banging my head against the wall a few times. i managed to flash back to 4.4, then it took to 5.0 I have no idea what happened. glad its fixed. i did check resetnvram to get rid of the " ERROR - Next to unit should be the size on 4 digits" after that went just fine
How did you get it to flash anything? I tried for a few hours to flash the leaked firmware using the ftf file and the Xperia flash tool but the tool doesn't have the z3v as an option what is the workaround to that I'm on stock firmware not rooted

I had issues with flashtool as well. Had the Z3 device driver, flashmode and fastboot drivers installed. Phone was in usb debugging mode and set to allow installation from unknown sources. Still had issues with it saying "Processing of loader.sin finished with errors." .... "Error flashing. Aborted"
I read that someone had success with using an older version of flashtool, so I installed 9.18.4 and tried again.
I got the "Drivers need to be installed for connected device." Reinstalled those three drivers mentioned above and tried again.
Got the loader.sin error again, along with "Cannot identify your device." with a prompt to select a device from the list ( I usually chose Z3 (D6603) up until now).
BUT this time I hit cancel and was told "You can only flash devices."
I unplugged my phone, reloaded the ftf, hit flash and it began flashing!
Hope this helps.
The log below is continuous, I split it up for some clarity

Yesterday, I have been playing around with my phone (Z3V) and I was able to flash it to latest leak (23.1.D.0.509) and had no issues. Prior, Flashtool that I downloaded from flashtool.net, the latest version seemed to me that it will not put loader.sin into firmware content. With newest flashtool, the flashing might not work. If you need a detailed guide how to get to latest leak for your phone (z3v) then I will write it for you. I can only tell you how to do it without a root since I was not planning on rooting my device.
P.S. : I will make a video guide on how to flash z3v without root to 23.1.D.0.509 in few days.
Please do I don't see an official update any time soon

Hi guys.
I need your help.
I was trying to root my Xperia Neo (MT15i) so i've run ZeroPercentFix (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2070325) to unlock bootleader.
Problem is my phone is stuck inside a boot loop now (Sony Ericsson logo, reboot, loop).
What i've tried so far:
->PC Companion: it raises error 0x7d3 (can't update custom firmware or something like this)
->Flashtool: i can't flash any firmware (tried a couple from here and using XperiFirm) because FlashTool raises the following error: "Processing of loader.sin finished with errors"
What else can i do?
EDIT: I've noticed that if i connect my phone with fastboot it stays that way (green led) just a few minutes (2~3) and then "turn on" (get into bootloop). I've tried every USB port my pc have (6) and it happened everytime.
Could this mean my phone's usb port is damaged?

Bump
I have used the instruction to come back to kittkat. The FTF bundle is SGP621_23.0.1.A.0.167_CE.ftf and flashtool ver. 0.9.18.6
but when the flashing starts I got error, here is the log:
22/027/2016 01:27:18 - INFO - Devices sync finished.
22/027/2016 01:27:23 - INFO - Device disconnected
22/027/2016 01:27:42 - ERROR - root : this bundle is not valid
the first error "bundle not valid" I have ignored, as it was adviced on other forum and then connected the tablet in flashing mode (vol-) and quickly after that I got:

dude I only know that I had successfully downgraded from LP to KK just from flashtool..(the best I did for this tablet) check if your ftf is corrupted.it happened also to me 2 times in my other mobile devices..
how can I check if it is corrupted ?
That was my fault. I only choose the "generic drive" after running flastool-drivers.exe -
the driver specific for Z3 Compact Tablet was needed (was at the end of the list)
Nevertheles, after first attempt the Flashtool did not start flashing but enter into MTP mode and install
the drivers for the tablet, as I suppose.
Only after the second attempt it started flashing.
Now is ok, I have KK again.
hello guys,
I have been stuck with the following error message below in Flashtool for the last 2 days, trying to install the 5.11 firmware on my E5823.
Weird part is, that it worked once, when I was just moving files around in the firmware folder and reinstalling Flashtool...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I tried all tips I found on other treads/forums, but nothing seems to work...
- Restart Flashtool
- Reinstall Flashtool
- Move *.tft files out of firmware folder, remove firmware folder, restart Flashtool, shutdown Flashtool, move files back (this worked only once before!!!)
- Download new firmwares
Getting desperate here, as Im completely stuck now...
