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.

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

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

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 I have an xperia tablet z SGP321 which is currently on android 4.4.2. But it's very buggy atm, and I would like to install a rom on it like omni rom or cm11. But in order to do this I have to root the device, and I would like to know how to root this? Am I able to root it currently or is it not possible atm due to the new software (4.4.2)? I have also tried unlocking the bootloader using the instructions on sony's website and other instructions by other people but they all failed. I know for a fact I did them all correctly and it just didint work. Is this because its not currently possible on android 4.4.2 on this device? Thank you in advance.

If you insist on installing something like cm11 you will have to unlock your bootloader before anything else. It is not clear what you mean when you say they all failed or it just didn't work. Did you follow sony's official guide? And by the way, it's better to make a back up of your ta partition before unlocking in case you want to ever revert it.
Have a look here. That worked for me to root my 4.4.2 device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759141
You have to do a downgrade to 4.1 before. But thats all in the root instruction.
Thank you for your help, but I found out how to unlock bootloader and install cm 10.2.1 on my tablet already. I followed instructions from a youtube video. It was quite different from the instructions on sonys unlock bootloader guide. I didn't have to downgrade either it worked with 4.4.2 .
Hi,
I recently got a new Z Ultra GPe as a replacement to my old one. I had OS version 5.0.1 before but the replacement I received is 4.4 and tells me that my phone is up to date. I expected I would get updates but that doesn't seem to be the case. Does anyone know if the OTA updates are still around and if I should be getting them by the normal method (rather then having to manually sideload)? For my needs I'm ok with a the non-rooted stock experience so I don't really want to deviate from that (and I don't really want to void my warranty as I have had to rely on that already). Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I looks like the OTA was pulled (well no longer being pushed) just before Christmas. The 5.0.1 is a little buggy so I would stay on 4.4.4.
Also note that there is no safe way to revert to 4.4.x from 5.0.x unless you root on 4.4.4 and back up the TA.

Thanks, but I have 4.4 and not 4.4.4. Version 4.4 is super buggy and basically not usable. 5.0.1 was very usable in my opinion. If I can get from 4.4 to 4.4.4 that would be a great place to start. If I remember correctly there were three updates to get from 4.4 to 4.4.4.
If the OTAs are pulled, then why are phones with 4.4 being released into the users hands? I'll have to talk to google support about this. Is anyone else in the same boat I am?
Is only the 4.4.2 OTA not being pushed, or are all Z Ultra GPe updates not being pushed?
Thanks.

I'm not sure what ones aren't being pushed any more, but they were all still being pushed just before christmass. You could put 4.4.2 on a SD card and flash that from recovery and see if the 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 OTAs arrive, if not they are archived in the GPe section and I have copies here as well.
Either way I would root 4.4.4 and do a TA backup, it will give you many more options if you ever need to roll back for any reason.
Bugs of note on 5 are:
memory leak
some wifi issues for some users
I have micro hangs (may well be from the memory leak)
OK. Thanks. I am going to do the process here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2761698 (different method but same result) to get to 4.4.2 and see what happens.
Hello all
I friend of mine donated his Galaxy Tab 10.1 to my son.
Now I need to update to the latest possible firmware. Not even YouTube kids works on the old firmware.
When trying to do OTA upgrade it mentions no upgrade available. I chatted to Samsung support and they suggest using Kies. Sadly this tablet isn't compatible with Kies 3 and I can't seem to locate older versions.
Can anyone assist or guide me in the correct direction
With thanks

If the tablet says that there's no new firmware, then there's no new firmware available.
You could root it, install a custom recovery and flash the latest Android 7.1.1 ROM from decatf if you want.
However, this tablet is getting pretty old by now and youtube just doesn't run super smooth without overclocking (and even then there are no guarantees). If you want my honest opinion, I suggest you look for a second hand Nexus 7 2013. It still runs smoothly today and has a very active developers community.

Wait a minute.. You have a GT N8000, this forum is for the GT P7500 /7510. Normally the latest Android for your tablet is 4.4.2. If you want to root it you will want to look at the specific forum for your type of tablet.
And a factory reset can sometimes do wonders for the speed of your device, if you don't mind loosing everything on it.
Hello to the forum,
I'd like to root my Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet (SGP771). When I bought it on eBay, it had firmware Android 7.1.1 (SGP771_32.4.A.1.54_1295-6955_Customized-DE), so I have to downgrade it to Lollipop or Marshmallow to use the "Dirty Cow" exploit, being able to backup my TA-partition.
I tried several Stock ROM's (Android 5.0.2, Andoid 6.0.1) which had another customization than DE. And after flashing the keeps rebooting in the "Starting Apps" sequence (just after showing the "Android"-logo). And I don't know, what causes this behaviour because I used only stock ROM's and the Bootloader is locked and haven't been unlocked before (DRM keys are still intact). And when reflashing the Android 7.1.1 firmware this strange behaviour is gone...
So I think I really have to downgrade to a Customized-DE Lollipop-/Marshmallow-firmware to be able to backup my TA-partition.
So can someone provide my with a download link of a SGP771_28.0.A.8.260_1295-6955_Customized-DE (or as alternative: SGP771_32.1.A.1.301_1295-6955_Customized-DE) stock ROM?
Thanks in advance and regards
