Yes it works again

My Sony xperia s tablet sgpt1211 works again, thanks [MENTION=422959]condi[/MENTION]

It wasn't easy but this is how it worked for me

1. download [MENTION=422959]condi[/MENTION] unbricker program
[MENTION=422959]condi[/MENTION] Unbricker (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2642436)

2. Run using option 3 (I have an eu no 3g tablet)

it will create all the files you need in a folder named unbrick_data

the software will probably fail at the step to create the sd card - no worries

3. dowload Win32DiskImager and write a copy of the unbrick.img file to the SD Card with the Win32DiskImager software.

4. Run [MENTION=422959]condi[/MENTION] unbricker program and use option 7

after you put the sd card in the tablet just press the start button only and it should display the cold booting text on the sony logo page so you know something is working.

5. be patient and let the [MENTION=422959]condi[/MENTION] software work through each step - some take up to one hour to complete.

6. If you get an error message from the [MENTION=422959]condi[/MENTION] software you have to resolve the problem it won't work if an error occurs. You need to stop and go back through the steps again.

Keep trying it does work if you can solve all the hiccups.

Thanks again [MENTION=422959]condi[/MENTION]

Unbricking SGPT1211.

Requirements:

*ABD drivers for XT, you can download from here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/msn16sd5wrb1sdh/Sony+Tablet+ADB+Driver+Automated+Installer.zip

*SD card min 2GB

*USB Cable for XT

*Win32 Disk Imager, you can download from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/

Well this is how I did:

1 . Download from this link all necesary files and extract it https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B6RZCJTq-bzDU01qeUxvT2t4ZEE&usp=sharing this contains the unbrick.img, system.img, hidden.img and the [MENTION=422959]condi[/MENTION]'s unbricker program that I used in the process compressed into winrar parts.

2. Once downloaded we have to write the unbrick.img (you can fount into \Unbricker\UNBRICK_DATA ) to SD with Win32 Disk Imager.

3. Start [MENTION=422959]condi[/MENTION]'s unbricker program and press the option 6 (not 7, because I tried with this and did not work) and follow the steps. The program going to try write the unbrick.img into the SD card but for some reason it can't, but we already have the SD card whith the unbricker.img writed so don't worry about it.

4. Plug the SD card and USB cable into our XT when the program ask for it, and continue the process, it going to take some while (aprox 30 min), and going to ask for reboot at the end.

5. In my case when the program ask for reboot I pressed the esc button for mistake but it didn't reboot the tablet so I powered off manually and turn on again with the USB cable connected but without the SD card. In the reboot the XT show you an Android window like recovery mode and reboot itself again twice. After that, we see again the Sony's logo and Xperia logo after that.

6. Enjoy again your XT.

Sorry for my english.:o

Mate it f.....ng worked :) I did everything you described except that I did choosed option number 7 instead of 6 ( choosing option nr 6 didn't worked in my case ) in condi's unbricker and everything worked like a charm.I still don't get it why I needed the Sony ADB driver cause I didn't use it in this case.

Anw I bought another tablet to my kiddo last month for losing any hope of reviving this xperia and now I have one spare thanks to you :)
[Sony Tablet S] david_jk:
Glad to hear you!! :D ^^ I hope someone else with a similar case like us can see this post and solve this problem

[Sony Tablet S] papars:
I stumbled upon such tablet with only the Sony logo during boot.

I tried the above procedure and I couldn't go further than flashing mmcblk0p3.

Flashing mmcblk0p4 or mmcblk0p7 never ends.

Either the flash chip is gone, or it needs re-partitioning.

So it goes to the recycle bin.

Thanks for the otherwise great guide.
[Sony Tablet S] pasche:
Hi all,

I'm also having trouble with my german Xperia Tablet S and trying to unbrick this (if possible). I also tried [MENTION=422959]condi[/MENTION] AllInOne Tool but this does not work in several ways.

First...I'm unable to find a "current" ROM for my german XTS (SGPT121DE/s). All links I found so far are not valid anymore.

Then I thought I found one, but then, I'm unable to extract the system.img and hidden.img. 7za tells me, that the decrypted .zip is not an archive.

Another problem is, that I'm also stuck in boot loop, so I'm unable to boot normally. I was able to create the "unbrick" image and see the cold boot message, but am unable to connect via "adb". I get a "?????? no permission" from "adb devices" (on Linux). On Windows, the devices is not listed, so I think, I still have some driver problem on Windows.

So maybe someone could send me a "working" link for the german ROM (SGPT121DE/S) (Wifi only and 3g - just in case), so I can test the extraction of the system.img and hidden.img. If I got these, then I can deal with the driver problem.

Any help will be appreciated and many thanks to you XDA guys making this unbricking and recovery possible.

pasche
[Sony Tablet S] pasche:
Hi all,

thank you all for this great work. This guide now worked for me too, after finding the complete archive https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B6RZCJTq-bzDU01qeUxvT2t4ZEE&usp=sharing

But I had problems connecting the tablet via Windows. So if you have Linux, just use these steps

1. Download all 6 .rar files from the google drive link and extract the archiv. From this archiv, you only need the 3 files unbrick.img, system.img and hidden.img.

2. Dump the unbrick.img onto a SD Card (min. 2 GB) with "dd if=unbrick.img of=/dev/<yourSDCard>"

3. Insert the SD card into the tablet and power on. You'll see something with "Cold boot"

4. Check that the device is connected to adb via "adb devices". If you see something like "??????? no permissions", kill the adb server with "adb kill-server" and restart "adb" via "sudo" or set your "adb" binary to SETUID (chown root:root adb && chmod u+s adb) and try again. Try it with "adb root" to start the daemon as root.

5. "Root" the device with

adb shell "/system/xbin/pwn"

Results in

[+] This may take a few minutes.

[+] Success!

sh: /system/xbin/busybox: not found

sh: cp: not found

6. Remount / rw

adb shell "/system/xbin/busyboxbin/mount -o rw,remount /"

7. We create a new directory /imgdata which will be used to mount a partition and to which we'll push our 2 images (system.img and hidden.img) onto

adb shell "/system/xbin/busyboxbin/mkdir /imgdata"

adb shell "/system/xbin/busyboxbin/mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p3 /imgdata"

8. Push the images

adb push system.img /imgdata

adb push hidden.img /imgdata

9 Dump the "system.img" onto 2 partitions (don't ask me why) /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 and ..p4)

adb shell "/system/xbin/busyboxbin/dd if=/imgdata/system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3"

adb shell "/system/xbin/busyboxbin/dd if=/imgdata/system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4"

10 Dump the "hidden.img" onto mmcblk0p7

adb shell "/system/xbin/busyboxbin/dd if=/imgdata/hidden.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7"

11. Unload the SD card and reboot the tablet via

adb reboot

and also "unplug" usb cable.

Now wait a few minutes and enjoy. Work for me.

All steps are just copied from [MENTION=422959]condi[/MENTION] batch file so just look there in case you doubt.

Thank you all

[Sony Tablet S] aomelche:
Thank you very much!

Your English was the best English I read for the last three days!

It worked after all.

I had a problem with rebooting - I turned it off manually and after several seconds turned on, after may be a minute nothing still happened (only SONY logo), so I repeated turning it off and on, then it booted.

Special thanks for the files.
[Sony Tablet S] ErnestX:
Thank you [MENTION=422959]condi[/MENTION] and all of you guys! My Tablet works again. After a couple of tries I ended using step 7 (after writing unbrick.img using Win32 Disk Imager) This is the only way the Tablet showed the "COLD BOOTING" text. I followed all the next steps and after aprox. 20 min. When condi's program is done, after it asks to take the SD card out of the tablet, it tried to reboot the tablet but returned an error. No manual reboots with the power button made it work as [MENTION=4968244]rassegan[/MENTION] mentions. What really worked for me instead, when the error shows, is: go to the folder where adb.exe is located, and run: "adb reboot". And that was it.

Thanks again!
[Sony Tablet S] angelparras:
Hi, i founded a new thing that will help you. If is not showing cold booting, yo can do this.

Whit the SD inside (With the img file inside), turn off your tablet, press and hold the VOLUME + button and press once the ON button, now it will show the cold booting.

And if your sd partition has changed, you can use MINITOOL Partition Wizard, is free and recover your hidden SD partition.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harrytech:
I have checked various sources about HTC One M8 benchmark, *and ALL anti-cheating benchmark like BaseMark X, Antutu X or Geekbench 3 M8 showed unreasonable low scores compared to Galaxy S5 (the difference of 801ab and 801ac is not that big) *

I suspect that HTC is doing something with the CPU to improve the battery life. That's why they are cheating with normal benchmarks (toggle can be turned off with normal apps, not benchmark applications - Anandtech). The difference of the real world performance maybe negligible but I think we want to be cheated.

Anybody can help me by renaming benchmark apps like quadrant or Linpack and comparing to S5 result? Thanks.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pedyvirus:
well htc one m8 has and performance mode and you can disable it

so you cant say htc is cheating
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivicask:
If you call software/hardware optimization a cheating in order to improve battery life, i hope they cheat ever more!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hung2900:
I recognized what OP said before from a review on ePrice (Taiwanese). HTC is definitely doing something subtle.

I thought that Anandtech said the toggle allows your normal apps can run with the CPU level in benchmark, not to turn the "benchmark optimization" off.

I totally agree about battery optimization. But the way HTC doing is they want to deceive customer that they are the best of both world: benchmark and battery. I don't care about benchmark, just the real performance but many people care. Just think about the benchmark scores, if they didn't cheat and all reviews show that the scores are only 3/4 compare to S5, what would you think? Antutu X showed only 27k, which is equivalent exactly 3/4 of GS5 (36k).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harrytech:
It's cheating intended. Lower the CPU with the performance similar to to 1.9 2.0 GHz but still advertise as 2.5 GHz CPU!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hung2900:
It sounds like an automatic CPU battery saving mode, not "optimization", lol:p

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harrytech:
Oh 2.34 GHz. Actually I agree with you. Last year Snapdragon 600 on my M7 is totally enough. We only need better GPU, no need for CPU. But I'm still waiting for any manufacturer dares to lower down the CPU "officially" to increase the battery life (not in a subtle way like this), similar to HTC itself shrinked down the number of MPs for a bigger pixel size.

I dont know why ts not working for me. After re-packing, it gives a file "new-image.img" and not "recovery.img". And also reccovery folder gets a "new-image.img" automatically. If it is supposed to work like this. Even this I tried to flash it on my mobile (MI3), it loses CWM whole and goes directly into fastboot. Thanks it didnt brick my mobile but something is definitely odd when repacking.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] navneetasnavi:
bro see as per the repacking script it will create a new image u need to rename it to to recovery.img and more over the image that u are using in it that is to be edited in Gimp ... other i haven't used personally... and try to flash it using flashify.

post ur results too.

Hey, I have had my s2 plus rooted for a couple of months. And I installed another ROM (4.2.2 JB I9105PXXUBMG8) I had to do it that way because it had not been released in my country. I flashed some mods and installed some Xposed apps and functions. That's basically all the changes I did. And it's starting to run slow! In the touch-wiz it's freezing more often than not. :thumbdown: I can play games on a steady FPS, but it's just the most simple apps, freezing and lagging!

Best solution

I saw that you already solved your problem

But according to me you should root your s2plus

And install a new stable kernel! Only reason for lagging and slow phones is a faulty kernel!

So you should replace your kernel! M using siyah kernel!

Main reason for using it is that i can create swap memory and can increase my ram! Which makes my phone super smooth!

Hit thanks if i helped you!
