Same exact phone. The only difference is that they made a separate software to sell in America to avoid being sued. Flash a e5823 ROM and get your fingerprint scanner.
download your STOCK ROM (FTF) file using FLASHTOOL>> XPERIFIRM
Extract kernel.sin as Kernel.elf using flashtool
re build / MODIFY your stock kernel using http://forum.xda-developers.com/xper...el-dm-t3301605
download supersu and put it in sdcard
- flash the modified kernel (fastboot mode in flashtool)
- boot the device, goto twrp, flash SUPERSU from sdcard.
Reboot.
DONE
orr send me your KERNEL.elf file for latest firmware , i will make for u

use command ....... " rootkernel kernel.elf boot.img "
then it will ask you many questions
disable sony ric
disable dm varity
install DRM Stimulation
install recovery
it will compress image and creat boot.img in the same folder.
now this is your modified kernel. from FLASHTOOL select fastboot mode, connect device, "select kernel to flash" , from drop downlist select .img file (the default selected is .sin)
and flash boot.img. , it will be flash in less than 1 sec.
disconnect, boot, on sony logo press volume up, goto recovery, flash SUPER SU / REBOOT
done you have rooted Beauty in your hands!

by the way! you can Flash SUPERSU while modifying KERNEL also, if you put v2.78.zip file in rootkernel folder, the questionare will have extra question asking you "superSU found / Install? [Y/N].
but i wont recommend you, i found two problems if you install superSU directly in kernel
1. you cannot instal su updates lateron
2. batter life reduces.
so flashing SU from Recovery is the best!

So I updated to a new ROM and I have damaged my recover or I need to update recovery somehow.
The ROM launches and I have ADB support but not google play services or root working
I can access my bootloader (blue LED)but I don't know how to fastboot a new recovery from there
When I go to access recovery (pink LED) the recovery never loads. It used to be a CWM/TWRP dual boot, neither are working.
So I am guessing I need to flash a boot.img from the bootloader using fastboot? I can't find any boot.imgs anymore. Just all this one click **** that doesn't work at all for some reason.
Advice?
On which ROM are you?
Is it AOSP, CM or Stock based?
Is your bootloader unlocked?
If you are on windows, try using nuts dual recovery installer (if you are on stock based rom). But before u use it, u should install ADB system-wide or try to put it into a folder directly on C:/
If you are on e. g. CM12.1 you need to "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (you find them in the General Section)

Ok, so lots of info here you might want. =)
Yes Bootloader unlocked. I WAS on paranoid ROM kitkat. It pushed a LP OTA update, which silly me, I installed. So right now the phone is on an AOSP based LP ROM, coming from a KK ROM. There was a dual recovery approperiate for that PA KK ROM installed before.
Anyway, I downloaded a recovery from the link you posted and I am currently installing a backup from before I did all these silly and naive things. =p
My next project... How do I go back to stock so I can try a none AOSP ROM? (o:'
two ways :
- you can download a stock rom ftf file from the official thread here, then use flashtools to flash that file (a more complicated version would be to create your own ftf file using xpirifirm and flashtools), OR
- You can download a pre-rooted zip (also available on the forums here) and install that through your current recovery.
Either way make sure you do a full wipe, stock and AOSP don't like each other much from my experience.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/ftf-cutomized-23-1-0-726-cda-1281-9809-t3082166
1. Go here and download the 23.1.A.1.28 FTF and prerooted zip. (It's the latest stock firmware version) and copy the zip file on your phone.
2. Go to recovery
3. Do a factory reset (wipe)
4. Flash the prerooted zip
5. Shut down your phone (NO REBOOT!)
6. Go to Flashtool -> Flashmode and load the FTF file
7. remove everything in "wipe"
8. on "exclude" tick the following: PARTITION, TA and SYSTEM
9. Click on flash and connect your phone via flashmode and let it flash.
10. Disconnect your phone and start
11. You are done. let the phone boot and settle and reboot one time. Now you are on stock with recovery and root.

If you have jmz kernel flash the stock one and overwrite again debuggered, if still dosent work get the debuggered file of your stock untouched Rom ( 100% clean no root,removed system files etc). If still fails that means you removed some system files from your device and ota blocks update

Maybe you remove some apps from the system? If yes install them back from the at&t version here on this forum with the odex files. The only way to update is to have a 100% untouched Rom and a clean debuggered file

I have unlocked my tablet using Sony Developer tools. I then tried to downgrade with flashtools to a kitkat firmware . I tried 2 different firmwares for SGP 321 but both give me a boot loop.
I am using flashmode to flash , should I use fastboot mode?
any other firmware I should try or settings in the flashtool?
these are the ones I tried: SGP321_4.4.2 _10.5.A.0.233 3AT .ftf. SGP321_10.1.1.A.1.307_Customized_FR.ftf
All I want is a rooted tablet z with whatever firmware on it.
Appreciate your help
When you say boot loop, do you mean the screen goes black and starts to boot again?
Or do you mean the boot animation is repeating for a long time?
The first time you boot up after flashing an ftf will take a long time. It can range from a few minutes up to tens of minutes.
Did you select wipe USERDATA when you flashed the ftf in flash mode?
Try that if you haven't. See attached screenshot.
Checking it will wipe all your apps, data and internal storage.
I'd recommend you use the latest ROM, 10.7.A.0.228. Root and Xposed works on Lollipop 5.1.1.
Here is a Generic Germany FTF 10.7.A.0.228.
You'll need to root it by flashing supersu zip in recovery.
If you don't have a recovery flashed/installed, you should flash one.
Let me know if you need instructions on installing a recovery.
fantastic, that little trick did the job and I am now on 4.1 .
I am considering now to flash your firmware but could you give me some detailed instruction on what to do please, especially the recovery part.
thanks a lot again.
No problem.
Requirements
Program to open ZIP files
Flashtool (flashtool.net/downloads.php)
Flash mode and Fastboot drivers installed (Comes with Flashtool. Find the installer at C:\Flashtool\drivers\)
A few things you should know about recovery
If you plan on using an official Sony ROM with an unlocked bootloader, the recovery needs to be part of the kernel image.
Sony's official kernel images do not contain a recovery.
The kernel gets overwritten when you flash new ROMs (Official and Custom), so you will lose recovery every time you flash a ROM.
Thus you must reflash the kernel with recovery every time you change ROMS.
Kernel's for different versions of ROMs should not be used interchangeably.
It always best to use the kernel made for the ROM.
Flash official ROM before flashing recovery
If you are planning on using an official ROM, flash the official ROM in Download Mode before flashing the recovery (for the reason mentioned above - kernel gets overwritten).
You should wipe USERDATA to minimise compatibility issues.
Do this first before proceeding.
Downloading a kernel with recovery
Fellow xda member [NUT] has an awesome kernel builder tool which allows you to create kernel images with built in recoveries.
Head over to nut.xperia-files.com and navigate to XZDualRecovery > Kernel Builder
Check the checkbox "Yes, I have unlocked my bootloader!".
Select the Make and model of your device (Xperia Tablet Z SGP321 in your case).
Then select the firmware version you will be using (10.7.A.0.228 in your case).
Cross your fingers. If someone has already uploaded the kernel for that version, you can simply download the link provided. Otherwise you will need to upload the kernel. If you have an FTF, simply open it as a zip file and upload the kernel.sin inside.
Flashing Kernel with Recovery
Open the zip file downloaded from the Kernel Builder and open the tmp folder. Extract the boot.img file inside the tmp folder to somewhere on your computer.
Open Flashtool.
Click on the Flash Icon.
Select Fastboot mode.
Click "Select Kernel to Flash".
Put device into Fastboot mode. (2012+ devices: Press and hold VOL+ button while plugging in USB cable)
Once connected, a file selection dialogue will show. Select the boot.img file extracted earlier. You may need to select the type of file (sin, elf, img) before you can see the file in the explorer.
Flashing will start immediately after selection. Check the log and ensure there are no errors.
Unplug the USB cable.
You now have recovery (Two recoveries to be specific - as XZDualRecovery has PhilZ and TWRP).
I would recommend TWRP as it is easier to use and has more features than PhilZ (Based on CWM).
The VOL+ key is associated with PhilZ and the VOL- key for TWRP.
To enter recovery, simply turn the device on and when the notification LED turns Magenta (Pink) start pressing the button associated with the recovery you want to use.
e.g. Press VOL- a few times for TWRP.
Flashing zips
Copy your ZIPs to your SD card.
In TWRP, tap the Install button.
Select the zip file you want to flash
Swipe to the right to start flashing.
Rooting
Download the latest SuperSU zip (download.chainfire.eu/supersu)
Copy to SD card.
Flash zip in recovery.
Enjoy root.
about to start the process, just wanted to clarify some things:
what zip files are you talking about putting on my sd card? is this the file I downloaded from NUT?
thanks again for your help
Just in general, to flash a zip, you would perform those steps.
You would want to flash the SuperSU zip to get root.
You can also flash the file downloaded from NUT.
It will install a program called NDRUtils which will allow you to reboot into recovery from within Android.
I just saw when I wanted to flash the firmware from your link above (Here is a Generic Germany FTF 10.7.A.0.228.) that this identifies as for device C6603. But I have SPG321.
Do you have a link to a firmware which would work with your way and is for my device?
Oh, sorry about that. Forgot to check the model. I grabbed it from XperiaBlog.
I think I should just explain how to download and create an FTF for yourself from Sony's servers.
Install the latest Flashtool if you haven't already.
Start Flashtool
Click on the XF icon (The rightnost icon)
In XperiFirm, select the series and model of your device (Xperia Tablet Z > SGP321)
Then select the Market+Operator for your country/region. The market only differs by the apps that are pre-installed, which can be removed. Your region may not have the latest firmware available, so you can click the "Check All" button to get the versions of all the markets. You may wish to avoid commercial Operators as they can have different boot logos etc. Download a "VMo" or "Customized" operator if possible. The 228 firmware is only out in a few regions at the moment, so Germany VMo DE would be a good choice.
After selecting a row for the firmware you want, click on the latest version near the top right corner.
A window will show the details of the ROM. Click Download to start downloading. The downloads will get saved to FlashTool's Firmware Download folder.
Once the download completes, close XperiFirm.
In Flashtool, Click Tools > Bundles > Create.
Select the downloaded folder (Which should be in C:\Users\<Username>\.flashTool\firmwares\Downloads).
Double click in the device field to select the model of your device
Branding should be set to the Operator you downloaded (e.g. Generic DE)
Version should be set to the ROM version (e.g. 10.7.A.0.228)
Then in the folder list, select every item except for .ta files (e.g. cust-reset.ta, fota-reset.ta). Click the -> button to add to the Firmware Content.
Click create.
An FTF file will get created in the firmware folder. You can start flashing it in Download Mode.
If you need some screenshots. The procedure may differ slighty.

TWRP - https://forum.xda-developers.com/x-compact/development/ub-twrp-v3-2-1-xperia-x-compact-t3793837
1. Flash stock ftf from Xperifirm via Flashtool
2. After flash, connect in fastboot (before booting phone) and type in command line 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' (this assumes that your modified boot img is in the current directory,and is named 'boot.img'; otherwise, you need to edit the command accordingl)
3. Then type 'fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1.img' (same note as above)
Done
Now, you can flash Magisk, (or whatever), and have root access.
If you want Drm fix, flash serajr's zip here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4404527&d=1517335127
If you want to restore your own ta with munjeni tool, you will need to patch boot img yourself with rootkernel tool here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74724162&postcount=2793
How to get stock kernel elf and patch your boot img with rootkernel:
1. Download and build stock ftf from Xperifirm via Flashtool
2. Go to Flashtool > tools > sin editor, and navigate to stock kernel sin file, in the downloaded firmware folder. Click on sin file and choose 'exrract data', and it will create a kernel elf.
3. Follow the guide by serajr. You need only to put the kernel elf into rootkernel folder, then open a command prompt there and run 'rootkernel kernel.elf boot.img'. Answer all questions 'yes', unless you want to skip drm fix and restore your own ta, (if that's the case, you need your target file in that folder renamed to TA.img). After script runs, you will have a new boot img that you can use to follow the guide.
Done...
Magisk, MicroG, and Xposed tested... (update - I haven't tried yet, but I've read that Xposed not working on ...85; update 2 - confirmed, bootloop; update 3 - Xposed fix now available here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/x-compact/themes/xposed-fix-118-t3870673)
I made a patched boot img with rootkernel tool and uploaded it. Link in op. Don't forget to thank serajr...
Can confirm the above method worked for me. I used the TA.img instead of drm fix, and i get root and security test still have widefine and fidokeys enabled.
Just slight reminder for linux user, you need to add execute permission on both `rootkernel` and `bootimg`, otherwise rootkernel tool will fail with permission issue.

With which options is your modified boot image prepared?

Dm-verity disable - yes
Force encrypt disable - yes
Drm fix - yes
For Drm fix you still have to flash serajr zip. If you want to restore ta with munjeni tool, you will need to patch boot yourself.
Op updated for 3-click root...
SuperSU,Xposed
Hello,
can you please help me with a little problem? I just did everything step by step, but I can't still get root access (after flashing boot.img SuperSU still shows "no root detected"). And one more question. I used that DRM fix zip, but still get "Not provisioned". Am I miss something? (but nevermind, I can use my TA backup, but I'm just curious about that).
Thanks guys.

Boot img just enables modification by disabling Sony security stuff, but you still need to flash whatever mod you want. So after flashing boot and recovery img, then flash supersu (or whatever), and you should have root.
I can't say about drm fix, since I've never used it before, but I don't think it will show fido provisioned, etc, because it simply recreates the drm functions through a different method, (not with ta).
I was able :laugh::good: Xposed release link

Oh, well. Thank you! It's working now.
Hello,
i flashed on my sony with oreo this boot.img and twrp and im stuck on sony logo. Any ideas what could be wrong? I tried android 34.4.A.0.364 singapure and UK versions and neither of these works with this twrp.
I have the newest platform-tools and flashing went well.
Thanks

Can you try running the tool and creating the boot.img yourself? I use the singapore ftf and doesn't have problem booting the system (with the boot img I created myself). I do not put twrp on boot img though. I boot twrp from fastboot when needed
I created boot.img and everything works Thanks a lot!
I dont understang the part that says :
Android Oreo ramdisk patching needs some additional files, and they must be copied from Oreo /system into the rootkernel's filesystem_files folder, prior to run the script, and they are:
Code:
/system/vendor/etc/fstab.qcom
/system/vendor/etc/init/hw/init.qcom.rc
/system/vendor/etc/init/hw/init.target.rc
(you can pull these files through adb, or even converting system.sin to system.ext4 and take them out from there - just copy them, and DO NOT touch its contents)
how to do that!? im noob...

I tried the 3 click method, without doing any boot image myself, but impossible to decrypt with TWRP (or reboot to system).

As for rebooting to system, can't say for sure... Root method involves only changing boot img, so shouldn't affect system. Any errors in fastboot, etc?
Original flash should be clean flash official stock ftf from Xperifirm. First boot could be 10 minutes...
