CHECK THE CARBON ROM THREAD. THE TWRP YOU NEED IS THERE. I ALREADY GAVE YOU THE LINK FOR SUPERSU. I JUST CHECKED AND BOTH LINKS, TWRP & SUPERSU, ARE WORKING.

Follow L'ily's instructions and use flashtool to wipe and completely restart from scratch. Not sure what the problem is but seems to be something you are doing on your end that is causing the problem. Can you install any other custom roms?

Go to the Carbon rom thread and follow all instructions to prepare your tablet for a flash to Carbon. Once you have everything prepared to flash insert the RR zip in place of the Carbon zip. Everything else, gapps, supersu, twrp is ok from the Carbon rom thread. JUST REPLACE THE CARBON zip with the RR ZIP when flashing your rom.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] smoschi:
Dear Sherrif,

yep, its possible & i installed other custom roms (carbon rom, aic, rr). But on all 7.xx Custom Roms i got reboot loops, when display gos to sleep ;(

yep, i downloaded & flashed all files (TWRP & Co ) from Carbon Rom!

I thought that the TWRP or SuperSU maybee buggy, thats the reason why i asked here some guys, if they can upload the TWRP or SuperSu!

But i got reboot Loops nonstop, when the z2 Tab are not on the dockingstation (connect to powercable). Its allways happened when display going to sleep.

Im not alone with the reboot loop: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73635360&postcount=251

Today, i will try it the last time to install it from scratch with flashtool ;( If bootloops comes back, i will flash the cm 12.1 back or i will sell all my Z2 & z3 Tablets on ebay! Maybee i will change to ipads ...

PS

you are using TWRP 3.1.1 or 3.1.0?

Does anyone have any issues with the infrared port? I cannot use infrared at all ever since I've switched to this ROM, whatever infrared-related app I install it says the device does not have infrared.

Any clue as to how I could fix this?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] _Sherrif:
I am using TWRP 3.1.0

Been dealing with the recent floods in South East Texas. Just seen your message

---------- Post added at 17:33 ---------- Previous post was at 17:25 ----------

[MENTION=4921566]Indru[/MENTION],

From what i have seen on other threads for our Z2 Tablet with a custom ROM, infrared does not work. It may be just LOS ROMS, but i believe any custom ROM causes IR to not work. IDK as i do not ever use IR. Take a look around our ROM forums, Nougat based, and you will see IR discussions...
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] solved:
u can't fix this, coz there are no drivers for the infrared for 7.1 .. that's the problem with those Builds / ROMs

if u want to use infra-red you have to go back to stock
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] smoschi:
Hope you and your familiy are good & safe!

I dont know anymore, what i can do???

I formated internal sd & installed from scratch the Android 4.4.4 (... 402) original firmware ftf file with flashtool on my sgp511.

I rooted (easyroot) again and i installed boot.img (from last RR)

+ TWRP 3.1.0.0

+ last Remix Rom

+ last SuperSu

= reboot Rom =

+ installed opengapps 7.1 pico (arm) again

And my reboot-loop are back again when display gos to sleep ;(
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] RiceDie:
Running this Rom smooth as butter! Really gave new life for my SGP-521. The 3Gb ram is really giving life to my oldy.

Was on latest official 6.0.1 with ROOT

With Flashify flashed new TWRP recovery from Carbon thread, this is very important.

in TWRP wiped clean all my tablet, connected to PC droped all the ZIP's for flashing

Installed ROM [reboot]

Open Gapps PICO [reboot] I chosen bare bone Gapps

SuperSU zip [reboot]

PS: Thanks for this great rom!
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] smoschi:
[FIXED] reboot loops (display gos sleep) & shut down (power connected) fixed!

I installed all from scratch with original Firmware (...402) again

I rooted (easyroot) again

+ TWRP 3.1.0.0

+ Remix Rom from 2017/04/16

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] k303:
my SGP511 reboots / shuts down when going to sleep - just like smoschi described it a few posts back. it happens with any 7.1 ROM i tried: AICP, Carbon and RRN.

i tried the following steps a dozen of times:

- fastboot flash recovery TWRP 3.1.0.0 from carbon thread for castor windy

- fastboot flash boot boot.img from any ROM i was about to flash

- wipe EVERYTHING except external SD card + USB OTG from within TWRP

- flash <insert any latest 7.1 rom> from within TWRP

- reboot, let tablet go to sleep

- return to tablet 1 to x minutes later only to find out that it has SHUT DOWN :mad::mad::mad:

i didn't even install any GAPPS, magisk, supersu or whatever - just to make sure it's as mint as it can be,

installing GAPPS (full / mini / nano / beans or open) however doesn't help either.

i can work with any of these ROMs flawlessly, until i stop using the device and it goes to sleep.

what is there to cause this issue on my device when others don't have it??

every android partition thinkable (boot, recovery, system, data, cache, misc) has been wiped and flashed from scratch with the software recommended by the authors.

Why is this happening to ME?

is there any interest in a .log file in order to investigate the problem? if so, how can i create or obtain the log?

i will now crouch in some dark corner and cry out loud.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] k303:
i found a resolution to the reboot / shut down issue described above and am now running the latest RRN without a hiccup. :)

i redid everything i wrote above, but with the difference that i flashed SGP511_23.5.A.1.291_1281-8033_R3D.ftf via flashtool beforehand.

after i did that i noticed that i obtained another boot logo, which had SONY *and* XPERIA written with white letters on black ground. before that i only had "SONY" as initial "POST-Screen", if you may say so. interestingly that "new" screen remained even after flashing the boot.img and recovery.img

so i don't know if there is any context - but now my reboot issue IS GONE.

i hope this helps anyone who encounters a similar problem. obviously the initial boot data doesn't get fully altered by flashing the boot.img and therefore was causing problems

thanks to OPENDATA for this sleek ROM and anyone who might've had the intention to help ! ;)
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] Oedner:
this was my first time installing a custom rom on my castor_windy, it was still running on the latest official sony software. did everything like instructed and it works perfectly, no loops, reboots whatsoever :)

thank you for this awesome rom, i finally can use splitscreen on my tablet :)

the only thing thats bugging me: to get a usb connection to my win10 computer i have to activate MTP manually from developer settings, although its already set to MTP. no prompt which way to connect like on the old stock rom. is this intentional or a bug?

I've found out that my nexus 2013 wifi has the same problems under the latest official lineageOS builds. is there a way to force the prompt when connecting to a pc?

Is Quickcharge supported by the Kernel in this ROM?

and btw. a new "castor" would be nice ;)
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] _Sherrif:
[MENTION=599429]dimitrij2k[/MENTION]

No, QC is not working in the kernel. FYI a full charge on this ROM/KERNEL is about 4 hours. This is from about 15-20% to full. AMPERE app shows charging at approximately 900mah.

IDK about the Castor build. Some devs, for this tablet and my HTC 10, have stopped on the Nougat builds and waiting on Oreo builds to hit :fingers-crossed: Would love to try Oreo for the Castor_Windy.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] dimitrij2k:
THX for the Info... im unsure between the Custom Roms...

- RR is very nice, but there are safety net problems - magisk show me, thats all fine - but i can't install Netflix and other secured apps...

=> fixed witg the magisk module "universal safetynet fix" :good:

- Carbon had some mirroring Problems with hdmi (maybe I should try it again)...

- AICP is 100% working on the 24.06.17 build, but the dev seems to cancel the development, because later build went wrong and broke the media playback....

- AOSP and Stock are :eek: for me...

I hope that the Oreo Build will give more energy into this tablet! Its (in my opinion) the best tablet on market for under 200$ and the only one with full connectivity (hdmi, lte, microsd, slim & sleek...)
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] _Sherrif:
Yeah, i've tried them all myself, but always come back to the RR build. Stable, decent battery, nice customization, decent graphics, etc. Never been a fan of Magisk, was always quirky and loosing root, nor do i need to pass safetynet or run DRM apps that complain about my root. Maybe one day i will need it, but not now.

Have you attempted to download the Netflix app from an alternate source and side-load, just a thought if you haven't tried that yet. From what i understand about Netflix, is they are just blocking the install on rooted phones....not blocking the app from running if you have it installed? I may be wrong though...

We haven't heard anything from opendata for a while now. Not sure what his plans are going forward and/or if Oreo will be a possibility. :fingers-crossed:

All the best....
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] dimitrij2k:
At the beginning i neither was a friend of magisk - im an old school "sudosu" guy ^^ but you have to go with the time and it comes out, that magisk is more future-proof and powerful. Never had problems on any device, but I had to get used to the different system of rooting...

I don't worry by the way that I can't install Netflix (I always find a way ^^, but thx for your right info). Its more the perspective in the future, that safety net will play a big roll and i am an custom Rom - "long relationship" - person ;) if a ROM don't take worry about stuff like safetynet, im never sure if I can install any app I want or need anytime (without problems)... and without that kind of security in my satisfaction i can't donate - and here (like we say in germany) "is the rabbit hidden in the pepper". ;)

So, it would be nice, when RR support SafetyNet correctly. Actually it passing in magic the check, but the PlayStore still don't show Netflix or for example Super Mario run (two apps I don't need, but its my own kind of double checking if all is correct).

Read somewhere that it was already pushed to AOSP, and that it had been implemented on various devices. Also, just wanted to make the dev aware in case he wasn't.

It was made public today, read about it on Reddit, and thought I would bring the news here as well. It's pretty bad, and old devices like our Z2 Tablets is not gonna get an official patch from Sony, which makes them vulnerabel to attacks.

I made a kind of dirty flash from AICP to RR (final) because i thought, that both roms are build on Lineage OS, so i can leave my data partition:fingers-crossed:. Its not recommed, but it works without any problem so far :good: i just wiped dalvkin, cache and system and then flashed the RR (Final) Rom and (Open-) Gapps. After the first boot, i was on the RR (Final) and all my Apps (data) was installed, configured and working :D i hate it, to reinstall all Apps or use Titanium.... :good:

RR (Final) comment, from an AICP user (24.06 build):

- Hardware is working so far...

- Safetynet passed with 14.3 beta Magisk :victory:

- HDMI Screen mirroring works

- Security Patch is from 05. October 2017

- Kernel is from 20. October (WPA2 hack should be fixed)

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] _Sherrif:
[MENTION=8661396]MrAndMrs[/MENTION],

Have you re-flashed TWRP in fastboot? Either reboot to bootloader or power down and hold the volume up button while inserting the USB cable to tablet and PC, the led will be blue for fastboot mode, "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". That should get you back into custom recovery.

Are the options/toggles/select-able items gone in Developer Options or is Developer options not showing under system?

If not showing under system go to about phone and tap build repeatedly then you will have Dev Options back, but assume you know this?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] MrAndMrs:
Since I cannot turn on USB debugging mode, there is nothing much I can do sir. Also, developer options is showing but there is nothing to choose. Is there another way to fix it? Thank you.

ps. Moreover, < waiting for any device > will always show up whenever I try to use fastboot.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] _Sherrif:
With that being the case you may need to use flashtool and start over. Something got borked up. Somewhere in this thread or another for our tablet someone referenced the FTF file to use in flashtool. If unfamiliar with flashtool do some research on XDA and you will find the instructions. Haven't used in a while and would have to read up on it again. http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/03/1...peria-lollipop-using-xperifirm-and-flashtool/ this can help get you started if you decide to use flashtool...

Hope this helps....
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Android Development] MrAndMrs:
Thank you for your reply again. My apology, I forgot to mention about using flashtool. In this case, I will have to enable USB debugging mode to do so, which I have no access to do that at all.

Yes you can. Evidently the drivers are missing for fastboot. I completed borked my tab when i got it and was able to use falashtool to flash a new FTF. I just double checked and fastboot works without USB debug enabled. You need to locate the drivers for fastboot.
