[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rootk1t:
Check manuals how to properly install drivers (on Win 7/8.1 and especially 10 if you're on it). Also two last drivers from the list are not needed for tablet z. Without properly installed drivers, it's useless to try to restore/reflash tablet. It will not work.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NightRaven_:
Okay so I've properly installed the drivers (I'm on Windows 10) and then I tried to flash it again but the Flash Tool still doesn't recognize it :(

I installed the other drivers because I have a Xperia Z3

Hi. I was given an LG-P769 to use as a Wi-Fi only "phone". It has Android 4.1.2 with a software version of P76920h.

I want to remove the T-Mobile apps because it won't be used on their network or any other network. I also want to install a newer version of android.

I am unable to connect it to a PC because the phone keeps saying connected and disconnected no matter what cable I use and the cables do work with other Android Devices.

I mainly run Ubuntu but I do have access to a Windows box but I don't see that helping because of the problem with connecting over a cable.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] DJPatriX:
Did you followed all the tutorials carefully? Correct drivers? Manual replacement of them? If yes - this have to be a hardware issue, your microusb is gonna die soon ;)
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] ElevyNJ:
I found three guides that I followed. I messed something up because I was getting a security error or security violation message. I was able to use a different laptop and re-flash the T-mobile image onto it so the USB port still works. it could have been my cable Do you suggest a specific tutorial?

As stupid as it may sound, can someone please tell me how internet calling on WM6 on universe works? Do i need a VoIP provider, wireless internet, etc. I have read the help but still cant figure it out. Please help. Thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] mzalan:
you need a WLAN network, most of all, that's obvious.

However, whether WM6 carries its SIP-program onboard or if you have to install another VoIP program, I don't know...

If it doesn't, I recommend Fring: it's free to download, costs €10 for unlimited calls to non-Fring numbers, and it's generally an all-round cool and stable program.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] djanie78:
thanx buddy. Will check fring out. I installed it sometime back but took no notice of it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] j911:
you could try using sjphone, it allowed you to input the parameters and create profiles for various voip providers...pretty stable and decent application.

Has anyone been successful into rooting the D5316 running 5.1.1? I've used the FlashTool and tried other options, but no sucess on either. I've never owned a phone with no current ROM's or easy root..... Just crazy, thanks in advance for any help offered. :)

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akiradavis:
Hi,

When trying to restore my applications via TB, the license key which is found on the root of the internal storage is not being read after upgrading to Android M. This worked in Android L so I was wondering if anyone has experienced this issue and if there is a way around it? I changed my backup location to the proper location but it still has not been able to read my license key which is a .txt and the .bin file.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgbotoe:
Uninstall the license key and reinstall it. Had the same thing happen to me, that was how I fixed it. Was so weird....
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akiradavis:
I removed the .bin and .txt license key files from the root of the internal storage, downloaded another copy, and pasted it into the root directory. Cleared data and cache for Titanium Backup and launched the app. Unfortunately it still didn't detect it. Did you purchase your PRO version via the Play Store or PayPal? I purchased the PRO version before the dev posted it to the Play Store (in 2010) so I just have the license key(s).
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akiradavis:
BTW, it is trying to look for the license key in /storage/emulated/legacy/ folder. I checked and I see only Titanium Backup installed in this directory. When trying to move the file via Root Explorer I get a copy failed error.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malfuncion:
I have the same issue and am trying to figure it out. If I do I'll post a solution to share.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malfuncion:
OK so I got it going, not gracefully but whatever. I assume this can also be done from a root session in adb terminal, but I'm lazy and used the app on my phone. So anyway, I downloaded terminal from the playstore, executed su to get root, navigated to the legacy folder using:

cd /storage/emulated/legacy

and copied the license using:

cp /path/to/TitaniumBackup_license.txt TitaniumBackup_license.txt

Make sure your license has stuff in it. I had to extract mine again as it was 0kb. After doing this I had to reload titanium from the settings --> reload application. Rebooting may also work as well as force closing titanium. Either way, I'm licensed up again. Hopefully the dev will remember us license purchasers from way back and allow for a custom license location instead of a hard coded location.

---------- Post added at 10:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 PM ----------

Also forgot to mention you'll probably have to manually set the location of your backups. I could not get the default path or autodetect to work. I manually set it and am set so far, bout to attempt a restore now.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malfuncion:
titanium received an update today and it resolved the issue. License now properly loads without the above copy hack
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Just updated today to MM and I had to use this hack still even though I did a fresh install of TiBu. Wonder if it has something to do with encryption...?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosejaooh:
When I update from 4.4 to 5.0, I have the same problem.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
never ran into this issue with tibu on M....wierd.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TA123:
Got the same problem. Did not try to copy licence key as it is already there. Also all my backups disappeared. Not sure if I deleted them when I removed TB to reinstall. Usually it never removes backups.

[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] Stahlin:
Was really glad to read this! However I guess we will have to wait quiet some time for this. Will they just skip 5.1 ?
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] eladelh:
I hope they skip 5.1 and just go for 6
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] pdes:
I don't care which we get as long as it kills 251. These touch pad issues are stopping me from wanting to use the tablet. Such a shame!
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] najoor:
Why don't you downgrade to 28.0.A.7.24 and life will be good.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] pdes:
If I downgrade, I think there is some sort of counter that tells Sky Go that I have rooted and Sky Go won't work. At least that's what I heard!
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] CandyAndy:
this is the only reason I could accept that why we still don't have 5.1

[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] warriorking:
Wow.. I don't understand why you have not received 5.1.1 yet.. I have the First Tablet Z and we received 5.1.1 about a month ago...

We however will not get Marshmallow....Oh well 5.1.1 is rock solid...
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] awionetka:
We go straight to 6. See sony support page for z4 tablet.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] petzku:
No need for root. Just follow the tutorial and choose right firmware for your device and downgrade. And the touchsensitivity is back :)

OK, going for it!! But, which firmware from the Xperifirm should I use? I have an SGP712. I can see version 7.24 for Israel and Mexico but the suffixes are different. I understand that the language options are universal. Should I use one of these?

Thanks
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] petzku:
Use what is proper for your country. Im from Finland so I used Nordic...
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] pdes:
But there is no "proper" for the UK, just .251 which s what I want to get rid of.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] petzku:
Try France or Nordic, those are the version 28.0.A.7.24 ... If they dont work, you can always flash back the original UK .251 :)

Can people confirm that unlike Samsung and LGs marshmallow updates that Sonys one allows use of the SD card as internal memory.

The only feature I am interested in.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] ploopower79:
I read that as far as the z5 is concerned that feature is NOT included...but here's hoping for that to be different in our case but I doubt it.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] Ukbondraider:
FFS. I will sell my Z4 tablet if this feature is not included.

I normally dont give a monkeys about updates in general as to all intents and purpose kit kat is the same as lollipop which will be the same as marshmallow. However the SD card feature is immensely important to me given that Android devices can only be bought with low storage options.

It cripples the device.

Thanks for the reply.

[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] gbil:
This is much anticipated update amd much needed one. Right from the beginning it was obvious that releasing the device with 5.0 was a compromise Sony did in order to ship this device quickly but the result didn't give them justice.

While I've enjoyed the device since it's release only with Android 6.x is the device I expected. Fast, responsive, a keyboard that works etc. Would it hurt Sony if they waited to release at least with 5.1 and name it Z5 Tablet? Probably not but then again their strategy or better lack of it defines them all these years :S

Anyway, just wanted to share my feelings and thoughts.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] ploopower79:
Ugh lucky I'm here in Houston, Tx waiting for mine to become available via the tablet itself or PC companion...I'm not expecting it to be able to remote play Xbox one games and go to taco bell for me but I share your thoughts on how 5.0.2 really hindered its performance
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] callsignapollo:
Unfortunately this guide is a little outdated. I installed all available drivers (which took quite some time) and ended up having to use these instead.

Some notes:

- didn't wipe data with flash (boots fine with all apps intact, no noted performance issues yet)

- chose "no" on the script dialog when attempting to flash
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] gerald410:
I used Sony mobile Flasher by Androxyde.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] theanswriz42:
The version numbers were different, but everything else worked for me. I chose "yes" on the script dialog, so I guess that didn't make much of a difference, and I didn't wipe the data either and have been running for the last few hours without issue.

At least it's easy :)
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] lirex:
Solved! It worked on another PC. I guess I've messed up the drivers on mine.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] gerald410:
I believe you need to power off first then while pressing vol -(down) connect the USB cable to your tablet.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] lirex:
It's exactly how I do it. :(
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] gerald410:
I clicked on the lighting symbol first with the phone still connected(i believe), then I was prompted to chose a mode. I chose flashmode then i was prompted with instruction on how to get into that mode. Once i did the flash proceeded.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] jelbo:
Maybe it's hidden uing a build.prop entry. Can you or anyone check if there's a line containing adoptable_storage in build.prop? It's in /system/build.prop.

/edit: This won't work for now as there's no root access yet in Marhsmallow on the Z4T :)

You have to do disable driver signing enforcement via recovery options.

Flashed US yesterday, because I am damn impatient and just finished flashing nordic combined.

I just thought, when we had the touch sensitivity problems a few months ago, I may have flashed a German build so the tab think's it's German. Maybe that's the answer if you want MM now flash a German build.

Just coming around to updating my SGP771 and wanted to clarify. I had done the AndroPlus kernel change on the device that is on 5.0.2.

I have the sony companion software downloading the update now. Is the process to install via the companion and then go back and follow the AndroPlus directions for installing kernel and root? Just wanting to confirm there's no major pitfalls to be concerned with.

Please forgive the question as I am new to the Sony platform and haven't been through the update process yet.

Thanks.

I have used Androxyde's Flashtool. It's a little more work, but at least I know exactly what I'm doing when following FxP's tutorial page. I don't have experience with PC Companion.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] dante2086:
There really isn't much in terms of new features. But the tablet is a lot faster and way more fluid. And that horrible app switching lag is gone too.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] mcfisch:
I couldn't upgrade my SGP712 through the Companion software, so I had to go for Flashtool.

Even though i tried this to get the Companion going I've fully removed Xposed, reverted my modified system apps (Exchange2 & SemcEmail due to policy hack) back to their original versions and unrooted the tablet before doing the actual upgrade.

Than I flashed the TWRP 3.0 recovery and the Androplus kernel again, rebooted, flashed SuperSu, rebooted again and finally flashed Xposed. Didn't get a single issue, all works fine. Also deodexed the 2 apps (again Exchange2 & SemcEmail) and applied the Exchange policy hack to them - also no issues yet (if anyone needs them, just lemme know).

Since MM contains almost everyting I need I don't even use Xposed yet in any way, TB, Total Commander and AdAware are enough for me at the moment. But I like having the ability to just chime in when i.e. reading about an interesting module or so... ;)
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] Ukbondraider:
So I have the MM update. Not much noticeable difference to lollipop. The only thing I was looking forward to was adoptable storage to turn the paltry 32gb into a useful 32gb + 128gb.

However, typical that Sony and Samsung drop the only worth while feature of Marshmallow.

Remind me again why these forums are just full of post after post of folks eager for updates? The updates bring nothing new. I could be on kitkat and be none the wiser.

Just surprised why people aren't moaning about lack of adoptable storage rather than how to flash the latest firmware because people cannot wait a few more weeks for what is effectively just a change in the displayed version number.

Totally disappointed.
