Hello,
I started on a quest last week to try and make my long forgotten Xperia tablet z LTE SGP321 more user friendly.
I stopped using it after being frustrated by the bloatware and its lack of customisation.
So I thought flashing a custom rom might help and wanted a bit of a technological challenge. Boy do I feel like I've got one.
I used kingroot, which worked fine. I tried to install SuperSu but it wont update the binaries.
I've managed to unlock the bootloader (forgot to do the backup TA woops!).
I downloaded TWRP app, flashed pollux_windy to recovery. Now there doesn't seem to be a combination of keys that I can find to boot the sony xperia tablet Z into recovery?? Power and volume up or down or jamming both keys...nothing seems to work. I've found one forum post suggesting it isnt possible and that I need to flash a kernel which is where I'm getting stuck.
SO this is where I am now and was wondering if I should use CWM instead or if there is another way to open recovery?
My main aim is to completely clear the tablet hard drive and start again with a custom rom.
Thanks!

NEW info
So i've managed to use the ADB to reboot into the boatloader. All that happens is a black screen. I want to try and flash CWM or TWRM but it doesnt seem to work.
Im beginning to think there's something strange about the sony xperia tablet z in that it doesnt have a bootloader in its stock firmware. i've seen something about using a Kernel approach but the guides are unclear.
Any help on flashing a CWM or TWRM into recovery would be much appreciated!!

Thanks for your help. I thought I'd start simple and just try and flash TWRP to recovery.
i downloaded the latest TWRP pollux windy img and then used the command fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
It says FAILED (remote: command not allowed)
adb fastboot devices displays my tablet
(by the way in configuration in service info it says bootloader unlocked: Yes)
>>>>>>UPDATE
so i managed to flash a cyanogenmod img using "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
The device then soft bricked and went into a boot loop. Is this because I used the wrong version of cyanogenmod?? Any other I can try that work?
I panicked a bit, mamanged to get the tablet into fastboot somehow andthen flashed a TWRM img to the boot using the same command above which now loads TWRM.
fastboot reboot now caused the device to go into TWRP but its in recovery mood
How can i undo that step i did when I flashed the boot img of the cyanogen mod. I want to put the old boot.img back!

also can I ask another quick question of you, what do you do to boot into recovery on your xperia tablet Z device?
Thanks!
Sorry about all the updates.
I decided to see what you had installed on your signature and tried resurrection remix. Version 5.8 caused Error 7??
So i went for version 6.9 which i installed successfully.
Only way i know how to get into recovery is to use adb terminal command "adb reboot recovery"
Also before I installed resurrection remix would you recommend a complete wipe of everything or does it not really matter?
Thanks and hopefully that's me all sorted!
Use VOL+ or VOL- on boot to enter recovery.

2 way for me:
- usually you can set an "advanced reboot menu" under developer option or the ROM customization panel (depends on which ROM do you use)
- turn off your tablet, now push the power button until your screen just turn on, leave the power button and start pressing vol+ and vol- alternately until you boot into recovery
This friday I got my tablet(lenovo tab 2 a7-10f). Yesterday I decided to install better rom on it. I rooted my device and installed twrp recovery. Unfortunally I didn't quite realize the importance of making back up and the fact that you can't flash this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/rom-orionlp-v1-8-lenovo-tab-2-a7-10f-t3480918
on android 4.4. My device loops "lenovo powered by android" screen. I can boot it into TWRP recovery. I have been googling today for a whole day and I havent find any rom to flash it. I tried this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...-stock-lollipop-5-0-roms-lenovo-tab2-t3418835
and I think thing like this for a KiKat (through twrp, probably that's why it doesnt work) .I couldn't quite boot it into fastboot and I can't use sp flash propely or it just simply doesn't work for me. Please help me to find any rom to flash it from twrp, since I am too stupid to do anything different way.
In short it loops, I can boot it to twrp, I just want to unbrick it. The ultimate goal is to propely install this *first link*
Thanks in advance!

There is a way to flash a now rom with SP flash tool although you can't use sp flash tool propely.
You must open the lid of the tablet and unplugin the battery
(to unpluin the battery simply pull out this)
Then open your SP flash tool, load the scatter file of the rom, press download button, plugin the battery and your pc will start dowloading the rom normally.
Hi Guys,
I wanted to backup my TA partition on my z5c so I donwgraded using an Australian Stock ROM found in a step by step tutorial (32.0.A.6.200_R4B). So far so good, backup worked with ivoryroot. After unlocking the bootloader I wanted to flash twrp on the recovery partition. I porbably was not concentrated so I typed "fastboot flash boot ...." instead of "fastboot flash recovery .....". Is there anything to do about it or did I hard brick my device? Perhaps I could generate a boot.img out of the ftf file? but if yes how? Thanks for suggestions in advance.
Cheers

Edit: I managed to reflash the whole rom (which did not work yesterday) an got it to work - sorry for bothering you!
Hello, thats the second time i tried to flash twrp into this device, Processor is MT6750, once tried SP Flash tool , today used fastboot, same thing happened it deleted whole system and dont want to boot in other systems excluding firmware. Tell me what am i doing wrong
If its the wrong section move the post, and dont be mad i`m still learning.
As i'm not familiar with MTK devices i ask for your help.
I've try to patch the image file and flash It with standard fastboot flash boot boot.img.
The phone restart and wifi and bluetooth not works.
After 1 reboot phone can't boot. Restore with fastboot and works now.
I read a guide wich Say to flash both partitions of boot ( i wasn't aware of this before ) as boot_a and boot_b partition.
Is the right metod to patch the boot image and than flash It to both partition?
Thanks for the help
To root? You shouldn't need to flash both boot partitions to root. I'd flash everything with one of the bundled flash_all.bat scripts so you've got a clean slate to work with for your next attempts.

I've already flash It with flash_all.bat, same was done before. So even with 1 boot should work? Why have 2 different partitions? I Just don't understand that.
It's unusual to see wifi and bluetooth broken like that, it's not my First ride, i've flash and root lot and lot of phones but it's my First Time with double partitions as i mention and not so familiar with MTK devices.
Did your have sucessfully root your 2 partitions devices with Just 1 boot IMG flashed?
Have anyone sucessfully root this phone?
Can anyone post a guide for this phone?
I tried a lot without success. Any working procedure?
I'm still stuck, i haven't try to flash both a-b boot partition... I'm too scared... What have u tried?
Have you followed this? If so are you downloading the right boot.img? https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/root-poco-m4-pro-4g-fleur-using-magisk.4449193/
Can anyone help US??
