Help

I m having sgp321

I m going to unlock its bootloader using flash tool(is it ok??)

I will flash twrp after that (first i will root it with king root and then flash using official twrp app am i right)

I will flash RR OS OR LINEAGE OS after that (as new LO and RR OS are giving boot loops to many users so i will flash old one ok??)

Is it stable?

Please answer me as i dont want to brick my device as i don't have time to fix it due to exams please
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] ze7zez:
Each of us has little time for everything.

You yourself must be aware of what you want to get and what you will do.

But above all, do not hurry.

Read about these matters in [MENTION=5292989]Rootk1t[/MENTION]'s >posts<.

He writes very matter-of-factly and specifically.

You can learn a lot.

Have a nice read. :good:

Hey guys i am having problems with all the 7.1 roms. I get random reboots like every 2 minutes. How can i make a log and see the problem? I have a pollux.

Thanks for the help. :)

Try disabling kernel panic in kernel aduitor-
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] hedgegee:
Thanks i just tried it but it didnt make a difference :(
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] hedgegee:
I have now set the governor to alucard together with kernel panic off and the combination made it 95% stable. Why is that and how can i find out the problem?

Thank you for the help :)

I installed that rom and I love it ... but I have enough lag .. you are doing well? updated from the previous one will that be why? should I do clean installation?

Is this ROM still active?

Any recommendations for another ROM? What are Tablet Z owners using as a daily driver?

Even WhatsApp is incompatible is this rom

working great
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Rootk1t:
It's no problem to install any incompatible app manually via apk file.

Besides this, it is still one of the most stable custom ROMs for tablet.

8.1 line is not polished for a proper daily use.

IR Remote

First of all great Rom, I wonder if meanwhile any solution/possibility to get IR Remote working (no matter stock or third party) on this Rom?

Thanks a lot
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] tres_linguas:
Still the same today (04-14-18). I wonder whether this is a bug or intended :confused:

I mean of course no calls should be possible with pollux_windy, but on pollux they should...

EDIT: found out it does not work even on stock :D. There seems to be some patch to make it work on stock KitKat (https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2776752), but who wants to go back to stock KitKat ;) it is not that important anyways I better use my phone for making calls :laugh: USSD & SMS work, though, so it's kinda alright :)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Rootk1t:
Calls are working good on pollux, on all 6.0 and 7.1.2 custom ROMs. As for 8.1, i didn't have time, to check it.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] tres_linguas:
Really strange :confused:

I tested with several Sims and dialing several numbers, always the same issue: one beep and call ended
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] ModrickM:
For calls flash baseband ftf app made available from other threads.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] tres_linguas:
Do you mean the thread I linked to in post #205?

How can I flash the baseband ftf - I'm only familiar with installing zips through recovery or magisk and flashing imgs through recovery or ADB :o

EDIT: tried to flash a baseband ftf with xperia flashtool but I got an error message so unfortunately it didn't work

EDIT 2: used another flashtool version and enabled ADB over network and now it works =)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] tres_linguas:
same issue here. BUT: I disabled double tap to wake/ double tap in status-bar to sleep a couple of days ago and now it seems to be fine. In other words, if you only use the (hardware) power button for turning screen on and off, the problem should be gone :)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] julius1504:
Hello, i need help.

I clean flashed this rom and everything worked fine, but a few days ago, the battery ran dry and the tablet turned off. Now i cant boot into the OS, neither the recovery nor the flash mode. The LED doesnt even flash when trying to power it up. charging the device makes the LED turn red. Any Ideas?

[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Essentrix:
Nice work m8. One bug so far. Back button kill app not working. Works fine on stock 14.1. Cheers
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] CaHbKaUp:
With last update there is no unexpected reboots, everything that should work on custom rom is working, minor CM bugs does not interfere, so i guess you can use it every day :)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] phillipssat:
Installed with full wipe.

Testing. Seems to run fast and stabile.

I triedd installing this rom on my SPG321. But after flashing the Tablet does not boot. The LED is flashing red. I can bring the device into flashmode or fastboot mode but it dont boot.

I used the right version. I think it is the TWRP Recovery. Because if i revive it and try installing TWRP 3.0.2 (from the link in the first post) i have the same symptoms.

So is it possible that the TWRP included in the rom is soft-bricking the Tab? And why no one else have this problem? Is there any special requirements for flashing the rom?

Device: SPG321 (TabZ LTE)

Coming from firmware: 10.7.A.0.228 (Rootet and with TWRP 2.8.7.0)

Okay, my fault. For some reason the bootloader was relocked. After unlocking the bootloader (again) the device is booting :)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Essentrix:
Camera working perfectly here.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Woodgnome:
pollux or windy ?

Have you installed anything else.

My camera is only thing not working (pollux) :(
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] phillipssat:
Camera only works in older versions from rom.

it would be nice to hear something from CaHbKaUp... ?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Essentrix:
Windy and on latest ROM.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Rootk1t:
that's correct, camera is broken in the latest build.

Before start dont forget to unlock your bootloader and before this backup everything.

Camera would fc for me on enforcing but works on permissive, here's a log: https://hastebin.com/equdogikuc.vbs

Also, if I switch users, selinux goes back to enforcing and they don't have access to the customisation settings so can't use the camera

Camera not working is the only issue on my device.

---------- Post added at 11:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 AM ----------

Same on my device. I guess the camera issue is a security issue, camera drivers being rejected by the Kernel when Selinux is on.

Works great for me without installing gasp ...

On first look tablet is very fast, faster then on RR M ...

What do you people think about installing aroma ...
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] INNC:
Gassp

I think Gassp can cause a lot problems, even with camera...

I have installed aroma and after installing few apps for 7.1 Nougat I end with soft brick while OS was constantly displaying a message 'system cannot start UI or UI is not responding`...

I will give you more info going with same routine when I fully charge and unbrick tablet ...

I am on pollux ...

Thanks ...

Hi ! Thank you very much for the update !

Please your opinion: Is CRDroid better then RR ? Any real advantage ?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] CaHbKaUp:
I dont think its a good idea to compare who is better. Both roms are excellent, they are really feature rich and have individual settings, try them yourself and make your own opinion ;)

I have installed this ROM with aroma and it is good , maybe a bit slower then RRM and with camera that donot work but it is good for daily use, actually I have moved from this one to Crdroid from yours another thread and it works great .... Thank you ...

People just donot except that everything from 7 Nougat will work on this tablet, it can really mess UI ...

[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] CaHbKaUp:
Well, DRM Widevine support is buildin into android itself since DRM Widevine Google's product, you can prodide logs to solve what is wrong with it.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] CaHbKaUp:
There is no code to support MHL as open source.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] ze7zez:
What would you say about >this<?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] CaHbKaUp:
Seems you've taken me up on what i said. Of coz android itself already have support HDMI/MHL, your link is about main fuctionality, and as usual google fully support only nexus devices, but as you know for most every hardware vendors provides own drivers, so we have no sony's one.

[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] blackassassinuk:
Pollux stock/rooted did not like it when I flashed this ROM unfortunately. I clean wiped the tablet and I used TWRP to flash, it was completely fine up until the end of the flash when two errors flashed up saying 'E:unknown command [log]'.

I continued and ignored, flashing suggested GApps (Pico) with no errors and rebooted. My tablet didn't even turn on to get a bootloop, just black screen with one white light flashing when i pressed power button.

I thought this was just a problem with the download so I reflashed stock, put TWRP back on and rooted again... just to get the same thing again.

I attached log files... I think this is the right one, sorry if its not I haven't encountered issues like this before.

EDIT: probably should ignore this, I think it maybe an issue with my device since I just tried flashing another ROM and it flashed fine but when I restarted it did the same thing again. After checking, I think for some strange reason my bootloader was locked, despite me having flashed several roms successfully previously.... I will try again once its sorted.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Mr Paul:
I had the same two errors when I flashed, but the ROM seems to work just fine

Sony Xperia Z tablet WiFi SGP311 "pollux_windy" - no GPS

Dear CaHbKaUp,

thanks for your hard work on this tablet!! Quite old, but a good device.

With RR 5.8.2, my GPS is also not working. Symptoms: no GPS fix for hours, zero satellites (with whatever GPS testing tool I used).

Error message (from aCatLog):

eLOC_CLIENT_FAILURE_INVALID_HANDLE, ind..status = eQMI_LOC_GENERAL_FAILURE_V02

I've alreay tinkered with /system/etc/gps.conf (setting CAPABILITIES from 0x33 to 0x37, setting NMEA_PROVIDER from 0 to 1, enabling nearest NTP server - all to no avail.

I'm willing to send all logs and details - whatever you need!

:good::good::good: Big thumbs up for your dedication!! :good::good::good:

Xperia framework permissions for install sony apps:

- Is this implemented on RR only? Or also on LOS and crDroid?

- Is sony Remote Control app / IR-Blaster working with it?

- Does someone know where to download a package with sony apps as installed on the original firmware?

Fast charge kernel:

- Does fast charge work with the original charge adapter for this device?

- If no: which adapter could someone recommend with "fast charge" supported?
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] StereoSteo:
I second the IR blaster it's handy to have. I know TSremote works on CM12.1 and CM13 but it's impossible to download CM13 and I might aswell have the latest release. I like this ROM though it's really fast :)
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] Rootk1t:
Fast charge should be supported by CPU (Qualcomm's Quick Charge / Mediatek Pump Express) and by charger. As cpu remains the same, changing charger won't help here.

I think, fast charge here means, that when tablet is plugged in computer usb port, it can take as much power as computers usb can provide, without additional limitations.
[Xperia Tablet Z Original Android Development] nicky-xda:
Fast charge kernel

Is it related to computer USB only? I can hardly imagine that anybody charges its tablet Z by the computer USB instead of a external charging adapter.

... unfortunately, not on my SGP311... Symptoms are the same as before - no satellites found, even after waiting for a long time.

I have flashed the new version over the older one simply by booting into TWRP and chosing "Install" and the new .zip file. Several warm reboots as well as switching it off completely didn't help.
