[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] ploopower79:
Just out of curiosity what brand is it? I think when MM came out I flashed a German ftf or whatever o2 is lol I plan on doing a clean install anyways but thanks in advance!
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] killdozer56:
Customized SA (Saudi Arabia)
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] ploopower79:
Got everything flashed and running for some reason it didn't delete my user data even though I told it to so once it booted up I went to the settings and dis a factory reset myself and had it charging to 100%. One of the first things I noticed was that notification audio is noticeably louder.

Pros so far:

1) split screen is amazing

2) I love the new updated icons toggles in the status bar. Being able to swipe down once for the toggles and then again for expanded view is awesome.

3) loving the updated notifications nouget brings

4) overall smoother than MM I hadn't done anything to my z4 and left it totally stock and I feel like it was starting to slow down.

Cons:

1) gets warm borderline hot when I was setting it up again but that's to be expected I'll keep an eye on it.

2) on MM when I would play YouTube for a while eventually the video would freeze but the audio continues for a little while and then eventually would crash. This has happened once so far but I'll give the system some time to settle in.

3) speaking of the system even on a clean install it was already taking up almost 10gb of storage which is disappointing.

4) it's not 7.1.1 I'm sure there are only small improvements but still to wait this long is kinda bad for their "premium" tablet which I also don't see them updating for a while.

5) cell signal...maybe it's T-Mobile, maybe it's where I live, maybe it's the fact that I switched from a German brand to the customized SA, but I feel like it has gotten worse but I'll report back on that later as well.

Battery life is still up in the air as I've only charged it once so I'll update after about a week or so giving it time to settle in.

I'm trying to flash it on my SGP771 but:

1-The flash process is faster than normal

2-After flash is done and I restart it the is a black screen that

Says: Flash fail

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] ploopower79:
As always check your drivers, use the most recent flashtool (I was able to use 0.9.23.0) , and make sure USB debugging is on under developer settings, make sure to run it as administrator!

When I flashed mine it didn't take that long either it took the longest time flashing the data
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] jongcruz:
I'm perfectly able to flash other versions like Central Europe

Of 6.0.1 and I'm also using 0.9.23.0 so not really sure what's

Going on here because the flash process goes ok but then

When I reboot it shows incomplete or bad flash.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] ploopower79:
Are you checking any other boxes when you select the ftf? I didn't select anything. I just selected it, flashtool prepped the files and instructed me to connect via flash mode and off it went. I remember there was a question about something not being included and I told it to go ahead and flash anyways.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] killdozer56:
Try the last flashtool version: 0.9.23.2
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] sahilg009:
I have tried to install it but the flashtool is unable to recognise the FTF on latest flashtool

Older version of flashtool can see FTF but is not able to flash it
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] jelbo:
Really now? I think Sony is doing a great job supporting this tablet and it really shows they care and support this premium device. If this was a Samsung it would be way behind that.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] ploopower79:
Sorry to hear that man all I can think of would be to re-download the ftf which I know is a pain

---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 PM ----------

Sorry I should have clarified further by update I meant releasing another tablet in general! I am very pleased with my purchase and have definitely gotten my money's worth from Sony. My first Sony product was the Xperia z1 c6902 which blew my mind as well. I almost got the z3 but the over heating problems stopped me lol. I was almost always about to get Sony...but finally landed on this tablet and the latest Xperia xz and really enjoy them.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] jongcruz:
I did the same as you did.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] ploopower79:
Mostly YouTube and browsing stuff and reinstalling my old apps.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] kuroneko007:
Installed the FTF for the SGP712. Basically everything works great, except for the one known bug of switching audio outputs. When I plug in my headphones, I don't get any sound, which is a shame for a multimedia device. I'll probably stick with this until the official fix release though, as I haven't noticed any other problems.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] jongcruz:
Did you factory reset before flashing 7.0?
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] kuroneko007:
I selected the option to wipe user data with flash tool.

[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] knoxploration:
I'd say there's very, very little chance we'll ever see a followup to this tablet.

* The Tablet Z arrived just six months after the Tablet S. The Z2 Tablet followed 12 months later. The Z3 Tablet Compact followed after another 7 months, and the Z4 Tablet another 8 months later. It has been 19 months now since the Z4 Tablet was released, a delay that's unprecedented in Sony's entire tablet history, and is fast approaching twice as long as there has ever been between tablet releases.

* Tablet sales are tanking. They barely outsell laptop PCs at all any more (2016 tablet sales were 19.5% higher than 2016 laptop sales, and 2017 tablet sales are forecast to be only 8% greater than 2017 laptop sales. And that's unit sales, mind you: In terms of dollar sales volume I'd guess laptops alone are probably back in the lead, now. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technolo...l-third-successive-year-pc-market-stabilises/

* Apple and Samsung basically have a lock on the market already. I can't find final 2016 numbers, but together they were hovering at around a combined 40% global market share for the first three quarters of 2016. The next largest vendor is Lenovo, and it's hovering around a paltry 5-7% share. Sony isn't even in the top 13 tablet vendors, and every vendor from sixth place or below in the market has a share of less than half a percent to itself. So at *best* Sony is selling less than a million tablets per year, probably far less -- and that's between both the Z3 Tablet Compact *and* the Z4 Tablet. I wouldn't be surprised if they're selling significantly less than 100,000 units worldwide of the Z4 Tablet in total. That's dismal! (https://www.statista.com/statistics/276635/market-share-held-by-tablet-vendors/ and http://fortune.com/2016/10/31/apple-samsung-tablets/ and https://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=prUS41632416)

My guess is that Sony has already silently made its decision to exit the tablet market and focus on phablets instead, sadly. I highly doubt we'll ever see another Sony tablet, at least within the next several years. Given that fact, I'm honestly surprised that Sony is even bothering to give us updates at all any more. I certainly don't expect we'll get many after Nougat 7.1.1 -- perhaps a few security rollups, but probably nothing adding new features any more. And kudos to Sony for even doing that: If this were Samsung we were talking about, I'd have expected them to cancel our Nougat update and stop security patches immediately that they decided not to make any more tablets.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] ploopower79:
I'm very glad I got this tablet though and honestly the only thing is really change is give 4 or 6gb of RAM. Good job on finding the data and I just read they'll be announcing a bunch of PHONES and not tablets only reinforces what you're saying. Oh well I suppose I don't have anything against any of the other brands of tablets so I'm happy to look elsewhere when the time comes which hopefully won't be until the winter holidays again. That's be a good 2 year investment in the amount of time I've used the z4 and how much I've gotten out of it.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] jelbo:
Thanks for sharing your insight. I fully agree. Apart from surprised I'm also very happy Sony has been continuing support until now.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] knoxploration:
Oh yes, don't misunderstand me. This is hands-down the best tablet on the market, and I'm thrilled I got one. I figure I should easily get another 2-3 years out of it, by which time someone will likely have released something better and I'll just have to jump brands if I'm right.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] BackHol3:
Just flashed this. Everything works! Very good ROM(lte model) after I installed nova launcher and took animations away and removed useless bloatware. Cheers to who ever provided the link download this :)
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] ploopower79:
Ugh I've been experiencing that audio bug...

While watching something on YouTube the audio will completely drop but the video will continue and then slow down drastically until the audio comes back and the video catches up again. During this time the clip still progresses but the audio is missing. Not life threatening but I can see why this would be a reason to pull the mass release.

Another minor annoyance I discovered is that when you wake up the device and want to toggle something it brings down the entire page and won't let you just toggle what you want for example if I want to turn my WiFi on or off it will open the WiFi page instead of just toggling.

But I'm still enjoying nougat I consider this like a release candidate lol.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] gbil:
You mean when you are in the locked screen correct? This is I believe intended android 7.0 behavior, I also don't like it...
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] Stevethegreat:
Which is weird to say the least. The tablet market is huge and is set to be the best selling type of computer for the foreseeable future. People don't buy laptops and especially not PCs ... to exit a maturing market is of the least understandable moves I can see: https://www.statista.com/statistics...forecast-for-tablets-laptops-and-desktop-pcs/

There is a real need for quality tablets and only Apple and Microsoft seems to care. Why do the rest leave the profits to those two is beyond me.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] Looloup:
I think that some interesting things are likely to start happening in the convertible Chromebooks market.

So, I flashed SGP771_32.3.A.0.372_1295-0783_R2D.ftf and my SGP771 successfully updated to Nougat.

However, there's a problem when I try to root my Nougat Z4T.

I tried two ways:

1. rootkernel v4.51 + SuperSU

rootkernel said:

"Skipping SuperSU integration. Only supported for Android 6"

So, rootkernel4 doesn't seem to support Android7 and root failed.

And also it stuck at "Configuring secd" phase.

2. rootkernel v5.11 + SuperSU

All processes finished without errors.

However, as you know, it resulted in a screenrespond problem, and my Z4T didn't recognize any touch.

Anyone succeed in root?
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] jelbo:
Don't us Z4T owners have to wait for a new AndroPlus Kernel, which AndroPlus can make as soon as the proper source code files have been released by Sony?
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] RJASSI21:

Ok got the FTF hosted here:

I won't be creating it for any other versions, this was just done for personal use and sharing it for convenience.

Just flashed it myself and just booting now.

I doubt I will recognise any changes, but will edit this post once it boots successfully and hasn't caught on fire etc :D

Edit: And all booted fine.

I will likely do one last one when the Nordic version is released, I would expect it to be mostly identical, but thats what my device shipped with so will stick to it, not always paying attention to these forums so occasionally do get suprised by the odd OTA ;)

I installed 378 on my Nordic LTE Tablet (with full wipe). However - I'm getting noise (almost like coilwhine) from the screen/digitizer now!? It's especially noticeable in Google Maps when you pan and zoom using multiple fingers. And it's noticeable in a quiet room.

EDIT; If I enable power saver the noise somewhat diminishes but is still there.

[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] ploopower79:
I'm still pretty upset that YouTube is still messed up.

After watching for a while the video will stop but audio continues...then the video will glitch back up to speed with the audio which can last anywhere from 5 to 10 seconds. If I'm just listening to music or "stories" you can't really tell the difference but it happens often enough to where it's so infuriating lol.

Full wipe no mods or anything man ugh!!!
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] Limeybastard:
Anyone know when the official version will be made available to customized version 1296_4830 r9c ?
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] Islamelhakim:
I am also still waiting for the update on the same customized version, bad news is now when I search using the support app or by IMEI on the Sony page it says no new update available, before a couple of weeks ago it started that android 7.0 will be available. Does that mean Sony has stopped the update for the region??
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] Limeybastard:
I tell you bro, this tablet is amazing for what it is. Hopefully they'd come with an update. Im no longer an owner as I found 4:3 ratio was more necessary for my needs. Else, I miss it.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] Islamelhakim:
well it is an excellent device, but one thing is missing which is split screen or better floating windows, which is something that nougat offers, so i hope they do update it especially that some regions got it so it would be very strange if they those to opt some regions out.

Can anybody give any support about that issue? Especially the chnage in status from scheduled update to no new Android version planned yet?
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] Islamelhakim:
So does anybody have any information regarding this?

Again the problem is that now support application shows

no new Android version planned

, a couple of weeks ago it said android nougat will be released...

Does that mean the update has been pulled out for the region?

I have a SGP771 on Customized HK (1296-4830) 32.2.A.0.305-R9C
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] gbil:
Why don't you flash a different customization with nougat?
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] Islamelhakim:
I don't want to lose stock customization unless absolutely necessary, it's more convenient as OTAs will be available and all stock Sony apps. I would lose that if I flash as I will have to unlock bootloader, correct? Even if I backup DRM keys?

Anyway I still am asking, is the update rolled back for some customizations or is it just taking its time and the info on support is not precise..?
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] gbil:
you can flash official sony firmwares without unlocking the bootloader and of course you will still get all the OTAs etc afterwards.

your question can only be answered by sony
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] Islamelhakim:
Can you please explain more about the process, what I understood from the Sony developer page that flash tool only works with unlocked bootloader. If you can provide some info or a guide link I would be grateful.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] Islamelhakim:
Ok,I've done a little research and I think I've got what you meant.

Now I'm stuck with only one question, should I include *.ta files when flashing with flashtool.

Obviously simlock.ta should never be flashed.

But there are a few files that some people say flash and some say don't:

Cust-reset.ta

Fota-reset.ta

Also there are a few bunch of new *.ta that are only present in the nougat ftf which are:

Auto-boot.ta

Osv-restriction.ta

Reset-non-secure-adb.ta

I have an unrooted locked bootloader SGP771 and I would like to keep it that way. But I also would like to receive OTA after flashing, so which is the right way to go

Edit: check next post
[Xperia Z4 Tablet General] Islamelhakim:
OK so I flashed NOBA customization today and all went well thank God.

I wiped all data, and excluded all .ta files ?

Enjoying the Nougat right now ?

I'm looking for a way to make a link to a specific contact in poutlook. I've looked around but it seems it is not possible, but maybe someone here knows better. I know it is possible to access for example the new contact screen with poutlook.exe contact -new, maybe there's something similar for a specific contact. I made a little mortscript script for it, but it's just not fast enough.

Alternatively, is it possible to call cprog with a phone number without going through the confirmation screen?

This would allow me to create a menu with contacts in mobile shell (I don't like very much the cube).

I'm actually having a similar issue to the person that just posted w/ the Samsung S4 mini.

I was in the process of preparing to sell my OPO bacon. I had just upgraded to the latest CM13 snapshot. I was following various advices to encrypt the phone before factory resetting it, under the impression that the factory reset would leave me an unencrypted device ready to sell. To my surprise, it did not.

I then reflashed the snapshot, along my gapps and SuperSU (I've since read that perhaps encrypting while rooted might have been a bad idea). I cleared cache, dalvik -- now I'm at a boot hang.

I've read a sticky regarding flashing a different kernel for ridding it of encryption that I assume is still there were it not boot-hanging but I'm not sure if that's what I should do.

I'm considering flashing a different system, like back to CyanogenOS to try to clear up the boot hang and encryption?

also wondering, since the OS is at boot hang, if I'll have better results pushing via adb rather than flashing a zip.

Any advice appreciated!

got it fixed

I've pushed a new ROM via ADB. Flashing it now, looks good, and encryption byebye. CHeers :D
