Face unlock

Hi

This is really great. Flashed it a couple of months ago and it was great. Only problems are screen rotating by itself to portrait when tablet upright in landscape, network connection fail error when attempting to check for updates on settings/status, and loss of facial unlock. I have just updated with 2017 12/12 to see if rotation can be solved. Is there any way of adding facial unlock?

Thanks for this great rom

Hi there,

Not sure I've ever said "thank you" for allowing me to move my Tablet-Z into the future!

I have a simple question, maybe you can point me to a link or a tutorial if it's already been asked - I cannot find it! I am on RR-N-v.5.8.3-20170708-pollux_windy-Unofficial and I was wondering what is the procedure to update the tablet? Do I have to follow the same procedure I followed to install it or is there an easier path?

Cheers

Tony

HELP!!!

After install LineageOS 14.1,i cant go back to stock 5.1.1,anyone facing the same problem?even i use Emma,also cant restore to stock 5.1.1.

after sony xperia boot screen,just go blank,and nothing happen,pls help.....
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Rootk1t:
Don't panic. It's a well-known issue.

You need to install any stock ROM except 5.1.1 which won't boot.

Try 4.1.2 or 4.4.4 firmwares.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] maomao5509:
Thanks for reply,i have try install 5.0.1 ,using fastboot by flash boot.img and system.img,can boot into system,

But after that,i try flash 5.1.1 via recovery,same problem again,stuck in boot screen....

Is it must need 4.1.2 or 4.4.4?
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Rootk1t:
It doesn't matter. Any firmware except 5.x.x will do.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] leptoid:
Thanks everyone for posting your problems and for those who had solutions. I hate soft bricking my device but I did before I found this forum thread. There is a HUGE performance difference between pollux and pollux-windy. The difference is that pollux-windy boots on the SGP311 and plain pollux softbricks it. haha

It looks like it is thinking about working now. I have an upside down curve with a dot going through it... and... yep. It works. Now I just have to figure out how to make my Z3V do it.

Thanks

Oh, if you're wondering, LineageOS 15.1 runs on the Xperia Tablet Z, but things don't move on the screen as fast as factory. Considering that it was never supposed to get this far, I think it runs pretty good. I haven't noticed anything I can't really do. I do like that the bloatware is not there.

Hello sir wanna tell u that the new builds are very strange

I tried dirty flash over the December build but it failed

Then I factory reset(as written in twrp and flash was successful then I rebooted every this g was normal but when I power off the tablet it was not turning on so I pressed power + vol+)

And tried to enter recovery I entered a stock interfaced re overt like stock Samsung recovery or just stock recovery with dead android below ) strange the I used volume buttons to navigate to reboot system but after power off and entering recovery I was in twrp ? ???

[Xperia Tablet Z General] amritansh singh gautam:
No ?
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Azazel Azay:
Did you flashed updated baseband file? Or ever used sony's official lollipop rom?

Cause I switched to custom ROMs straight from official kitkat. I never used official lollipop rom on my tablet. And i haven't flashed updated baseband.ftf file either. Maybe thats what causing the problem?

Can you please send me screenshot of baseband version in About Phone?
[Xperia Tablet Z General] amritansh singh gautam:
Yes it can be ?
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Rootk1t:
No. Baseband is not related to wi-fi. So check your router wi-fi settings and channel. Maybe it's full of other devices making noise.

Sony Tablet Z dead after update

Hi all,

On our Sony tablet Z (SGP311) I have installed TWRP recovery (from file twrp-3.0.2-0-pollux_windy.img) and Lineage OS 14.1 (from file lineage-14.1-20171124_095032-UNOFFICIAL-pollux_windy.zip). Everything worked fine until I've got the message that an update is available. So I answered it should be installed. But it somehow failed and I just saw the lineage starting symbol for an eternity. After trying to access TWRP I ended up in an "android recovery". I tried different things (also wiping the cache), but I doesn't allow to reinstall the OS again. Just updates, but they can't be found.

Question: is there any chance to get back to TWRP? Or to install the OS with this android recovery?

I installed these ADB tool set on my computer and attached the tablet in fastboot mode to it. But adb doesn't list it in its device list :(

Any help is appreciated.

Kind regards

Jenero
[Xperia Tablet Z General] tres_linguas:
Here are some tips (please, senior members, correct me if I'm wrong in anything!!)

- you won't be able to install a custom Rom through Android stock recovery. You need twrp for this

- try to install twrp again through adb. Maybe your device wasn't recognized becoz drivers for your device weren't installed or not properly. BTW there is a later version of twrp available.

- the Ota probably failed becoz you use an unofficial los build. As far as I know with unofficial los the option of Ota does not work. If you want that, you should flash official los through twrp. I myself use official los 14.1. I also noticed that there are newer builds than the one you mentioned available

There is a good tutorial that directs you step by step for how to flash twrp to pollux/ pollux windy etc:

https://xdaforums.com/xperia-tablet-z/help/guide-tutorial-sony-xperia-tablet-z-lte-t3392831

---------- Post added at 07:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:18 AM ----------

Question: Is this thread also intended for the official version of the Rom? Did not find a separate one here on xda...and people here also asked questions related to official nightlies, that's why I'm asking :)

And, apart from (more or less) weekly updates and possibly more up-to-date security patches in the official version: what else is different to the unofficial one?

EDIT: found out about the differences here:

https://www.cyanogenmods.org/offici...ween_an_UNOFFICIAL_and_an_OFFICIAL_Lineage_OS
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Jenero:
Thank you very much, I will try to get the device being recognized by adb and to install TWRP again. I tried already, but in the manual they said, that some number must be taken from the tablet. But my tablet is dead, so that I can't get any numbers out of it.

Kind regards

Jenero
[Xperia Tablet Z General] tres_linguas:
If you say that you already had twrp and los installed that must mean you had your bootloader unlocked before, so no need to check your imei (the number you mentioned)

You just need the right drivers for your PC. If you haven't done already, try the ones recommended on the tutorial. If it's not a driver problem, maybe sth is wrong with the cable, I also have to move mine a little bit when connecting the tablet with the PC before it is recognized (sometimes even for charging). And by the way flashing a recovery needs fastboot mode on the tablet, not adb mode. I don't know if it also works through adb, but the tutorial says fastboot mode and that's the way I did it. :)

By the way, two tips for using the forum: - hit thanks button instead of saying it ;)

- when you answer to a particular post, quote that post so the author of that post gets a message that somebody quoted him ;)
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Jenero:
Yeeeaaaaah, :D after some longer struggle with installing them drivers I've made it. :cowboy:

So I had access to TWRP recovery again, did all that was described in the link you've posted. So now I have the tablet reanimated to live. That was the good point (Thanks for your help - and yes, I've also pressed the Thanks button).

The bad point is: I can't reboot into TWRP recovery. When ever I start it and press volume up after for several times when the sony xperia writing appears it boots into some android recovery, but not into TWRP :mad:. But I need to go there, because I need to install google apps (they should be installed after the first reboot). For me it seems as if LineageOS overwrites the installed recovery when installing it.

Or am I doing something wrong?

---- Later ----

...ok, I reinstalled everything the same way, but this time I've installed LineageOS and google apps directly after another. It worked. But still, after OS was installed, TWRP recovery was gone. Or I need to do something different when booting...

So, if I am right, I can only use the pollux_windy version of the OS, because I have the Wi-Fi version of the tablet. This OS version can't be updated using the build-in update function. So how can I update the OS then?
[Xperia Tablet Z General] tres_linguas:
Yes, it is not that easy to keep twrp, I think this is because it is flashed to a partition that is later replaced by the os (boot partition, if I'm not wrong). But in the tutorial there is also a part that describes how to keep permanent twrp recovery. I guess one has to flash it to the so-called fota partition becoz our tablet ain't have recovery partition. But u will see that in the tutorial.

And yes, for wifi version you should use pollux_windy builds. Flash official version for weekly updates:

Activesync

Hi all

I am using that ROM on my device but EAS/ActiveSync crashes the Email App when I setup the Account.

I think it's exactly the moment where the Email App checks for the Security Policy on the Exchange and where the App asks for Access rights to some system areas to enforce the EAS Policy down to the device.

The App crashes instead.

Anyone has the same problem with EAS?

I manually gave the APP access to all areas. No success.

Which Logs should be o interest?

Deactivated advanced restart & developer actions, rebootet, enabled both -> also nothing

I use a third party app now. It is no dealbreaker but strange. Maybe it is because I dirty flashed over CM13. But since I have no motivation to do a clean install I will live with it. :o

The 23/12 update somehow caused me a major problem. Boot is stuck on the CM logo. I can get into TWRP recovery, but nothing works. It can't wipe, it complains it can't find the partitions. It can't install an image since it doesn't see internaln storage or the SD card.

It seems I first need to sort out the partition mess before I can install anything, probably with ADB. Anyone can tell me how to unbrick?
[Xperia Tablet Z General] NoSuperHero:
Yep same was on me. My solution was the program calles "Emma - Sony Flash Tool".

Im not sure but I think u need to boot the Tab into the Flashing Mode or Fastboot Mode when u connect it to ur PC. After that Emma showing u some possible Roms for ur Country for example and will download them. Rest was flashing the original Rom and then install Twrp again and this Rom. (I rooted the original Rom with Kingroot and for installing recovery I used the original TWRP app from playstore.)
[Xperia Tablet Z General] NoSuperHero:
Its still Beta but almost perfect in my eyes. I found no major bugs till now but ofc I dont use every single feature in this rom.

Btw any chances to get "theme chooser" working on nougat roms?
[Xperia Tablet Z General] CaHbKaUp:
You can try to use Substratum instead
[Xperia Tablet Z General] CaHbKaUp:
1. TWRP 3 you flashed with this ROM, TWRP integrated into kernel.

2. You make common error when try to flash this ROM via old TWRP. In your case you should flash ROM's kernel via fastboot fist, then boot into TWRP and then flash ROM itself.

3. TWRP 3 have OTG too, boot into TWRP, select Mount->select USB OTG and select Select Storage -> USB OTG = now you can flash from this storage.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] CaHbKaUp:
You trying to flash boot.img from ROM ? Anyway "fastboot flash recovery ..." want work since our device have no recovery partition. You should flash kernel with fastboot flash boot boot.img
[Xperia Tablet Z General] CaHbKaUp:
You can extract boot.img from zip archive of ROM
[Xperia Tablet Z General] janflapjes:
I am still having issues. I flashed the boot.img of 20161223 via fastboot. TWRP does not see SD Card or any partitions. Then flashed Cyanogen Recovery from 20161220 via fastboot. It can see and mount everything, but it won't install things, maybe some problem with my SD card. I have sideloaded 20161220 and gapps via adb, that worked. I am on Pollux_Windy.

I would advise anyone with pollux_windy to stay away from the 20161223.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] lorenz4578:
You should try to flash twrp to boot wit fastboot flash boot twrp... And then wipe everything in twrp and install cyanogenmod. I did it that way and it worked fine. It will automatically boot into twrp since it is in the boot partition.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] lorenz4578:
Usually you just repeatedly press volume up after the sony logo showed up but if you have flashed it to boot it will automatically boot twrp without pressing volume up

Mic issues

Happy new year to you all!

I just installed the last ROM (2016-12-30) on a pollux_windy device, but the sound of the mic is garbled as soon as I try to use Skype or any other voip-like app (FB Messenger, Google Hangout). FYI, I had the exact same issue for every CM ROM I tried since CM 12.1 and I wasn't able to find any kind of fix (most related to modifying the options related to fluence build.prod in various ways).

The sound recording app works perfectly, but Skype only register garbage, it sounds kind regular, repetitive sound, vaguely metronome-like. No kind of yelling in the mic changes the sounds registered, so it doesn't seem like an issue of low mic sound...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Works great so far. I installed it 3 days ago without problem. One question, though:

I really miss the NFS module in the kernel to mount my nfsv4 shares. How can I add this module to the kernel? Could you compile this missing module for the SGP321 LTE pollux? Or where do I find information on how to do it myself. Thank you.
