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...

Hello.
I'm having problems with my XPERIA x10i phone. This morning I was changing the case with new one. The full case, not just the cover. And then, my software was stuck in a loop at the Sony Ericsson logo. I tried installing the software with PC Companion, Update Service, FlashTool and none of them seems to work! They all stuck at the same place!
What could be the problem???
Thanks in advance!

The flashing finishes perfectly with no errors and the phone is connecting again in flash mode with the green LED in the upper part. But, when I try to turn on the phone, just the blank screen is lighted, no logo...

Hello everyone, i own a MT11i Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo V.
Yesterday i received a notification to update from 4.0.A.0.42 to 4.0.A.0.46. I downloaded the update and i started the 4-step installation process. The 3 first steps proceeded fine but at the 4th step, the update stopped and the phone restarted.
I should mention that i had rooted my phone with UnlockRoot utility. After the unsuccessful update, i removed root with UnlockRoot again but the exact same thing happened.
If you need any more info please let me know. Thanks in advance!

I have the international SGP521 LTE (castor) running smooth on
CM11 nighlies on T-Mobile and ATT.
I have been looking at the official US version of the Z2 LTE- exclusive
to Verizon. In the past - Verizon has locked the bootloader - and made
it difficult to run CM11 on their branded devices.
Has anyone worked on the brand new Verizon branded Sony Z2 LTE tablet?
Can the bootloader be unlocked directly from Sony?
Will the CM11 castor nightly load on this version?

This is what I'm getting. This is my first Sony device, so I'll wait for the experts to chime in before I go any further.
Did Sony issue you a bootloader unlock code?
Was this the message from the fastboot oem unlock 0xNNNNNNN?
The normal sony device flow is consistent across their devices:
get device drivers working from sony or flashtool (fastboot and ADB)
get the bootloader unlocked from sony
download PA Gapps,CM11 zip, and SuperSU to the SD card
extract the boot.img from the CM11 zip
flash the boot.img to the boot partition
reboot recovery
full wipe from the recovery
reboot to recovery and flash the zips from the SD card
reboot into system
If the bootloader won't unlock then everything else goes out the window.

Just picked up the US Sony Verizon Z2 tablet.
The model number is SGP561.
First impressions are great hardware.
SGP521 plus extra bands and CDMA.
Insane amount of bloatware.
Sony bloatware. Verizon bloatware. Bloatware on Bloatware.
I am not holding my breath for a Google Play version either.
I will try the Sony bootloader unlock - but I don't have high expectations.
Sony will issue a bootloader unlock.
But the device will not unlock with the issued code.
When you check the service menu settings- the device is unlockable.
No bootloader unlock means a difficult path for custom recovery.
Too bad this is the exclusive z2 tablet version release for the states.
If you have a GSM carrier (T-Mobile or ATT) buy the international SGP521 (castor)
from somewhere else like Amazon and roll the dice on warranty service.
Sony has been great with releasing Z2 tablet kernel sources but I guess
they don't really care about restricting customers in the US.

I just got one too and expected this outcome because it's Verizon
How do you get to the service menu with no dialer?
-Collin-
The directions are on the sony developer site
under the bootloader unlock pages.
Select the Z2 tablet non-wifi.
Its unusual- you have to go to the contacts app and then
click on white space on a specific page to bring up a hidden service app.
Thanks for that...definitely a bit strange. Would have taken me about 10 years to figure that out
Bad news on both fronts. Bootloader unlock allowed: no. LTE bands 4 and 13 (Verizon's two bands), meaning they disabled all the others. I had hopes of using this on T-Mobile at some point, but alas I should have known better.
Thanks, as always, Verizon My service provider is starting to feel like the Seinfeld skit where they try to quit the gym.

Root is not an issue. I've successfully rooted both firmwares.
Has anyone successfully converted their SGP521 Verizon Xperia Z2 Tablet to using stock Sony firmware & retained Bravia Engine & Camera quality? I'd love to stop having to wait on Verizon for firmware & remove their apps.

Sure thing,
The easiest way I've found was to use Kingroot to root your Z2 Tablet. (open and run kingroot to actually achieve root) afterwards if you prefer Supersu you will need to flash a custom recovery. To do so, activate USB debugging and connect your tablet to your PC via USB. Download xdualrecovery 2.8.26 for Tablet (should be the second one from top if downloading from http://nut.xperia-files.com/path/XZDualRecovery/XZDualRecovery_2.8.26). Extract the contents to your desktop and click the install.bat. When given options as to which method you wish to install custom recovery with choose method 2 (Install with superuser) and follow the on screen prompts and grant permission on your tablet (when selecting option 2 a script will initiate on your PC and advise you to grant root on your device. Simply unlock the device and grant permissions to continue). Once done your tablet will reboot to custom recovery. Reboot the system and install supersume and run the application. It will remove kingroot and install Supersu. When completed it will automatically open Supersu (it may prompt you to update the binaries... If this does happen DO NOT click TWRP as it will reboot to recovery and do nothing for you! Simply click Normal and let it do its thing and you should be done!!! :victory: all that's left to do is reboot your tablet to remove kingroot from the appdrawer if it's not already removed. If for some reason Supersume is not working properly then reinstall kingroot and retry Supersume again.
I forgot to include the link, for some odd reason I can't upload files. anyways I've also included the files for xposed installer just in case you want xposed on lollipop. Just be sure to make a backup after installing the framework through recovery as some modules are incompatible and cause the tablet to be stuck in a bootloop. That way you can restore if you have any questions ask and I'll help out as much as I can

Searching the web revels this to be a common problem but nobody ever seems to have any luck fixing the problems the threads go dead or the owner gives up. Now I got my phone off eBay a few days ago so I can send it back but I like the phone, Id rather no go down the hole rooting route just yet as I am enjoying the stock feeling.
As I mentioned I had this phone before and my last one never did this.
Also there is an update pending that may fix it for all I know, but Sony been stupid wont let me download it over my mobile network and I cant use WiFi to download it, so its stuck.
Can anyone suggest anything for me to try? I have already rebooted, reset, airaplane mode, many different wireless networks with different channels and security.
Phone model : c6833
Android : 4.22
Build number: 14.1.B.1.510
Kernal : 3.4.0-perf-gde8296d-02194-ga2561a5
Thanks in advanced for any support,
Zachary

Hello,
I was thinking flashing my own stuff getting my own ROM and been happy, only problem if I do that I cant then send it back and if it still does not work I am stuck with the phone.
But thinking about it flashing newer firmware and a custom ROM should work

You should start with flashing the newest stock rom. This is anyways always the manufactures first step recommendation when troubleshooting :good: And it does not void your warranty.

Yes I am doing that now with the Sony software (I completely forgot you could do that with the Sony software), and yes you are correct it wont, what I meant was if I put a custom rom / kernel on it then it would do. But I shall see how this update goes and report back if I still have troubles.
Thanks for your help.

Hello,
I've had no luck, I did the update via Sony software and it updated it to 4.4 kitkat and the WiFi still does not work, I then tried updating the firmware even more with flash-tool and this did not work either.
Since I can not unlock my boot-loader via Sony I can not put custom kernel or ROM on it either, although flash-tool did root the device for me, but this wont help me in the near future.
Any other ideas that I can try, is there a different way to unlock the boot-loader on these devices?
Thanks,
Zachary

Contact the seller for a solution. Either ask for a replacement or return the device.

Yes probably a good idea, just a shame I have to wait for a new one. Thanks for you help though I appreciate it.
Hi,
I have an Xperia X which despite being long abandoned by Sony is still as reliable as the day I got it. I'm a complete n00b when it comes to using different firmware on phones. Are there any different firmware's out there that I could install which are kept up to date or has my phone been abandoned by everybody now?
Thanks.

Thank you for your reply and sorry for my late reply.
I have looked into Sony aosp and they offer a tool to unlock the bootloader and a flash tool. My device is listed as "maintained" which is good, but what to actually flash is where I'm getting lost. I can find a software binary from May 2019 but it's only 90MB, surely that cannot be the entire Android operating system? I'm savy enough to be able to unlock and flash a single ROM file, but if I have to start "building" a ROM with a load of Linux commands then that's beyond me.
