[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberBaumer:
Thanks for the response!

Just not sure what you mean by "wipe everything". What am I flashing it with? Which firmware? And what's "al wipe"?

I tried posting a screenshot of the flash tools but as a new user I can't do it. Sorry for being a n00b.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cat McGowan:
I believe by "wipe everything" and "al wipe", they mean select to wipe APPSLOG, CACHE, and DATA during the flashing process. The flash tool you need can be downloaded from HERE. You can download a US version of the firmware from my post HERE.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberBaumer:
THANK YOU, SIR.

I really appreciate it!

Back onto 4.1 and just rooted again. Now I just need to manage not screwing up installing CWM like I did last time!
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberBaumer:
Grrr...so I'm having trouble again.

When I try flashing CWM it keeps soft-bricking or whatever my tablet. It won't boot and I need to put it into fastboot mode and reflash the firmware.

I'm using the command fastboot flash boot TabZ_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-253-v01.img

Is there a better or another way to get CWM installed?
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cat McGowan:
TabZ_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-253-v01.img is for the SGP321 running firmware 10.1.1.A.1.253.

You have a SGP312.

TabZ_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-344-v01.img is for the SGP312 running firmware 10.1.C.0.344.

You are running firmware 10.1.C.0.370.

You would probably have better luck trying to install Nut's XZDualRecovery.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberBaumer:
Jeez, dude, you're totally rocking my world. Thanks a ton for all your help.

I've successfully installed the XZ DualRecovery.

But now something weird is happening: when I try installing various roms (cm-10.2.0-pollux_windy or cm-11-20140418-nightly-pollux_windy) I get the error that it's for the wrong device. It tells me that I have a Pollux, but according to google, Pollux is the LTE version - I most definitely have the SG312 32GB WiFi version).

Did I go wrong somewhere here?
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cat McGowan:
I do not install custom ROMs. No ROM has ever impressed me enough to cause me to want to install it. However, I have read posts regarding your problem in the Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development forum. Look there and perhaps you will find the answer you need.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberBaumer:
Hmm, I see. I was excited to install Cyanogenmod because I have it on my Samsung Galaxy S3 and enjoy the customization and ability to remove all the bloatware.

According to your signature, I see that you're on 4.2... A few questions:

Did you do this through an official update?

Can I somehow flash 4.2 through recovery mode (so if I decide I don't like it, I can just load a system backup and go back to 4.1.2)?

If I were to update through the automatic system update, I'm assuming I'll lose my root access and won't be able to get back into recovery mode (in case I figure out a way to install a custom rom in the future)?

Is there a way to remove all the sony bloatware without root access (if I were to install an official system update)?

Sorry for all the questions. I'm just trying to get this all figured out before I start downloading all my apps and getting comfortable with the interface.

Thanks again so very much.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cat McGowan:
When I first received my XTZ, it was running 4.1.2. I gained root access using DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit. I also installed SuperSU Pro and enabled its Survival mode and Install SuperSU into /system settings. Doing that allowed me to update firmware builds via OTA twice without losing root access. I have chosen not to update to 4.3 for various reasons; however, I did attempt updating to 4.3 via OTA like I have in the past, but the update failed to install. And from what I have seen of 4.4.2 on my son's Nexus 7, I may chose not to update to 4.4.2 also. My 4.2.2 install is working flawlessly and my XTZ does everything I need it to do, so I see no reason for updating yet. I live by the aphorism "If it's not broken, don't fix it."

If you install 4.2.2 (via flashing, you can no longer do it via OTA), you can use Vroot - English version to gain root access. Be aware that in the past, Vroot had a bad reputation regarding its loading unwanted apps during the root process, but I believe xda-developers and Mgyun-team (Vroot developers) had a talk and Mgyun-team has since changed their ways. In my opinion, Vroot is now safe to use. Many people have posted saying they have used it and have not experienced any problems.

I do not know of any way to remove bloatware without having root access.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberBaumer:
Damn, maybe I was a bit too hasty in rooting my tablet; why is it that I can no longer to OTA updates? If I were to buy SuperSU PRO (for survival mode) is there any benefit to me? I see that it allows for OTA updates.

I am currently rooted via Superuser (by clockworkmod).

When you say I'll need to install 4.2.2 by flashing, you mean through Flashtool, right? Which build should I get (and where, one of the development forums)?

Is the reason why one is advised to install custom roms via recovery mode in order to maintain root access (which I'm assuming doesn't happen if you flash through Flashtool)?

Something I forgot to mention earlier is that I did unlock the bootloader. I'm not sure if that helps or hinders me at this point.

Thanks again for taking the time to answer all my questions. I really love this new toy, and I'm so terrified of bricking it.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberBaumer:
If I were to say flash this version: http://android.sc/official-android-4-2-2-on-xperia-tablet-z/ I should still be able to install Vroot, right?

Also, do you just manually remove the bloatware yourself, or is there a particular script/app that goes in and cleans up all the unnecessary stuff?
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cat McGowan:
Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean 10.3.1.A.0.244 is for the SGP321. You have a SGP312, so you need firmware 10.3.1.C.0.136 (same as mine), which you should be able to download from HERE (upload credit goes to user named spectre51). Flash it then gain root access using Vroot.

Regarding SuperSU Pro versus Superuser, I use Chainfire's SuperSU Pro because it has superior functionality and more options compared to ChainsDD's Superuser. And I use SuperSU Pro because it is more likely to retain root access rights after an OTA update than the free version of SuperSU; e.g., SuperSU Pro provides OTA survival mode, the free version does not.

Regarding uninstalling bloatware, that is something you need to be careful with. Some apps you want to keep have dependencies on apps you consider bloatware and want to uninstall, especially when it concerns system apps. So, investigate the app before you uninstall it. Most times, I use Titanium Backup Pro or ROM Toolbox Pro to uninstall apps that cannot be uninstalled via the Apps list found in the tablet's Settings. At other times, I have had to use a file explorer and text editor to uninstall an app.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberBaumer:
Thank you again my friend.

Is there a list of apps that are safe to uninstall, or, rather, a list of apps that I shouldn't tinker with (for fear of uninstalling an app that has a dependency on something critical)?

Also, I'm on the Google Play store and I see both Titanium Backup Pro and Rom Toolbox Pro. Should I buy both? If you had to buy just one, which would it be?

My main goal is to just make the smoothest experience possible. I want to take maximum advantage of the hardware in the tablet and have as few unnecessary programs running as possible.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psxpetey:
Jellybean. Apparently ure not much of a reader.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
There are many Jellybean firmwares available for the Z. Jellybean is 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 and there are several firmware versions available for each version of Android for the Z. The settings apk will be specific to the version you're running.

So I would suggest that you stop with the unhelpful comments if you don't actually know what you're talking about and remember that you're the one asking for help. ;)

Edit - I see you didn't "accidentally delete" anything.

If you just wanted the settings apk from any rom, you should have just asked. Go and download a stock based custom rom from the development section and extract it from the zip. Make sure it's at least a 4.2.2 rom, as Dualshock support wasn't added until then. :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psxpetey:
Oh nooooo. You found me out. I was hoping someone would give me the app considering how easy it is with titanium backup. I already would have downloaded a stock based rom but its annoying and doesnt really need to be done. Howver since there are zero links to just the apk and no one is willing to share looks like ill have to download a rom and extract it. Man....thats annoying...

Is it me or is WAD really slow on the Atom? I am using the latest version of WAD (lite) and my device freezes on the "Please wait...loading" screen. The device does not recover and requires Soft reset.

Here is my specs:

ROM: 20060426B1WWE

Besides the progs in the rom, Resco file explorer.

Can it be ROM issues or is it clashing with another program?

thanks appu! WA works on the Atom now with no freezing issues. One problem I had though was it didnt have a close/ok button! I tried looking thru the settings of WA but could not find a solution.

I ended up removing WA because of this issue. Hopefully WA developers can make a close button on versions past Beta.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] Appu:
wat do u mean a close/ok button? :?
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] mos33y:
well for 1, when I enter onto a (any) program, the close/X button is not in the top right hand corner.

the only way to exit out of the prog is by tapping on the top task bar and selecting 'Desktop' from startmenu.

The other annoying bug is that when entered into WA settings, and lets say for instance you want to creat a new dock, you would select a background image form whatever file but there is no green tick on the bottom left hand side of the screen to select (nor a 'OK' on the top right).

I guess i need to tell all of this on Lackridge forum but Im wondering if any other Atom users are finding this problem?

Hello,

usually I can solve the problems I sometimes have with my I9000 or P5110 thanks to all the information I can find on XDA.

However this time I've run into something I can't directly find in these forums.

Since i flashed : cm-11-20140416-NIGHTLY-p5110.zip my P5110 keeps force closing and rebooting from time to time.

I tried to reflash to an earlier or later nightly using CMW 6.0.4.5 but this does not work. I keep getting back to the 20140416 nightly.

I suspect something is wrong with either my internal sd-card or CWM 6.0.4.5

Looking at the log from CWM 6.0.4.5 I can see the following error:

Can't partition non mmcblk device: /devices/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/mmc_host/mmc1

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Killer2k8:
So i encoutered a strange situation.

I flashed/updated the phone right after the [NUT] 's version of the last kk update , since then i always thought that my battery life decreased, i had 1 day and a half at max with the same use & apps as on 4.2, on wich i had even 3 days of battery power.

So, yesterday I placed the phone on the charhing dock, removed a couple of time because of phone calls, and after 2~ hours the phone said that the battery was 100% charged.

I removed the phone, made a call and right after i hit end call, battery was showing 63% left, i repeat this was minutes right after the phone was fully charged from the dock.

I thought that was an error, checked battery statistics, and it showed a drop from 100 to 63 in 2 minutes.

As i thought that it was a problem with the dock charger, i connected the phone to a usb charger, orange light was on, and after a few minutes the phone would stop charghing and the light will turn off. I tried this step a few times, and always the phone will not charge more than 63% just as if the kernel would think the battery is already full.

I turned the phone off, connected the phone to a wall charger, and the charging started from half to 100% in 40 minutes more or so.

From yesterday i have 20 hours on battery and 70% still left :| this with 27minutes of voice talk and 1 hour& 37 minutes of screen on (this includes some gps navigation app ~ 20 minutes ON)

I think that my situation clearly states that there might be a battery controlling problem that it might show 100% while the battery is still not charged completly.

The next step i will take is to let the phone completly die, and then charge it on the wall charger (turned off) untill the battery is completly charged and after that i'l power it up.

Did anyone else encountered this issue/situation?

I also saw that between reboots the XZDual recovery shows different battery percents, wich is not normal...

Again this is purrely for the talk of it... and maybe someone else that has the problem would see that it is best to let the phone die and then charge it full turned off. (As i did not do :) ) / WIPE DATA after an update/or flash.

I think this is the single method to reset the battery stats without any knowledge....

Because if this thing didn't happen to me i would let it be and thought that is a bug with the kk firmware :)))
