[Q] XTS (SGPT1211) brick - stuck on Sony Logo

davhenry · Apr 18, 2014

Hi All,

first of all, I'm very sorry should ask dump questions but I am totally lost here. Have been trying for two months to get my tablet to work and tried thorugh all of your helpful tipps but nothing seems to work, so I would very very much appreciate any help!!

The situation: I have a Xperia Tablet S from the US, SGPT1211, which just shows the Sony Logo when turned on. I can access the Android recovery menu and have tried (several times) to install the JB R2 and R3 files from SD card (i used the US versions from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26882207).
The Updates start but at about 20%, they would just stop and says "Installation Aborted"

Also, I have tried to use @condi Unbricker (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2642436). It does install on my SD Card, but if I start the device using the SD card, it still hangs and the Sony Logo and does not show booting cold.

If there is anyone here, please please please help! @stifilz

(I bought the tablet while studying in the US and living in Europe now. Sony Europe won't look at it - not even for money...)

Hi, i am in the same situation that you and the same tablet, i tried too with Sony Unbricker program but never work for me even with 3 different SD Cards 2, 8, 16 GB and differents class 4, 6, 10 respective.

I found the original post about unbrick the tablet http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2610791 but doesnt have any idea what to do because i am not a linux advanced user and low level's programming :crying:

Unbricker is only for Xperia Tablet S not Sony Tablet S. I am partly in the same boat, although my one does run (honeycomb) lol. Anyway can you both please try the install your original update (i.e. to suit your region) twice in a row and then pull the recovery log. If you need help with this please see my FAQ thread in my signature.

Thanks

Its Works!!!

Hey guys @davhenry @stifilz i could finally recover my Sony Xperia Tablet S following these steps and the Sony's Unbricker Software 1.0 by @condi

1) Unzip the software and make a new folder called "UNBRICK_DATA"
2) Download manually the files unbrick.zip and the correct OTA Software of your tablet
3) Unzip the unbrick.zip file and copy in the SD Card with Win32DiskImager
4) Rename your OTA Software ( Example: signed-txs03_201-ota-131023018.zip) to update.zip
5) Copy this file in the folder "files" in the program
6) Open and DOS Console in Windows and descrypt the file using desklunvr.exe. Example : desklunvr.exe update.zip
7) Make 2 image files with the recently file generate (update_deslunvr)
7za.exe x update_desklunvr.zip system.img
7za.exe x update_desklunvr.zip hidden.img
8) Copy the new images files and update_desklunvr in UNBRICK_DATA (these last file i did just in case )

9) Run Condi´s Program and make sure you go to the step 6 and just follow the instructions

The tablet reboot 2 times at the beginning looks like not working because get stuck in sony logo but turn off and turn on again and then ITS WORKSS !!! :laugh:

Good luck guys

@rassegan

Thanks for your tips! However, I'm having some trouble following your advice: when using WIN32DiskImager to unpack the unbrick.zip onto my SD Card, I can no longer access the SD Card as it says it uses an unknown Data System.
Additionally, where did you unpack the OTA Software? directly onto the SD Card or rather on my desktop and then the SD Card? And could you detail the DOS unpacking using desklunvr.exe?

Sorry for asking so many questions, it would be so so so great if you had some additional comments!
@stifilz Thanks for your help, was abroad for a cpl of days and will try to pull the log file which I couldn't work out so far

davhenry · May 2, 2014

@stifilz I'm having trouble to actually access my XTS via ADB. I follwed all your steps here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=30099315#post30099315) and installed a billion of drivers. I do see my tablet in the device manager als Android Device, however, it won't show if I enter "adb devices". Instead, the list is empty.

Anyone an indea what I'm doing wrong here?
Many thanks!!

Hi @davhenry, well i unzipped the file unbrick.zip in the same folder UNBRICK_DATA so you should be have a image file of 1.5 or 1.6 GB this image you would use at moment to copy in the SD CARD with the WIN32DiskImager

Hey again, i had the same problem, follow this thread i use the method A in my Windows 8.1 and download the zip file and unzip

Once time you unzipped the folder find the file android_winusb.inf and add this lines under the sony products

;SONY Sony Xperia Tablet S
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_054C&PID_06AC&MI_01 (Verify if your PID is same as me )

Copy this line in GoogleNT_X86 and GoogleNT_amd64 and save the file

Update the drivers manually in the device manager

davhenry · May 13, 2014

OMG guys, it worked!!!

I didnt do anything differet, for some reason it worked though. I am so grateful, thank you so so muc @stifilz and @rassegan!!

Hi..
Firstly, I'd like to apologize in advance for my bad english..

My Xperia Tablet S is an SGPT131A1 (Asia model)
Rooted and got it bricked few weeks ago..
Got panicked and recklessly did a full wipe..
Still stuck on Sony logo..

Thanks God I found Condi's post..
Gave it a try, and still did not work..
Still stuck on Sony logo..

There are several questions I'd like to ask you @rassegan
1. How do you copy the unbrick.img to the SD card? I tried using the Win32DiskImager as you mentioned above, but my SD card ended up having 0 byte of free space. Thus, the unbricker program cannot copy the rest of the file.
2. Eventually I formatted my SD card and skip part 3 instead. Followed Condi's unbricker program, chose option 6, and followed the instruction, but it did not succeeded to copy the files onto my SD card. Here's the screen capture of @condi 's program showing the error.
View attachment 2844352
Is there something wrong? Or did I miss some step?

Any help will be much appreciated..
Thanks in advance

Hi everybody thanks for this great topic
i try to follow this procedure but cannot find the files "unbrick.zip" you mentioned.
searched for a while with no success.

thanks for your help. :good:

JuicyMaraca · Mar 31, 2015

Where the heck did you find all those files you mention?

gordo588 · Jun 8, 2015

Yes it works again

My Sony xperia s tablet sgpt1211 works again, thanks @condi
It wasn't easy but this is how it worked for me
1. download @condi unbricker program
@condi Unbricker (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2642436)
2. Run using option 3 (I have an eu no 3g tablet)
it will create all the files you need in a folder named unbrick_data
the software will probably fail at the step to create the sd card - no worries
3. dowload Win32DiskImager and write a copy of the unbrick.img file to the SD Card with the Win32DiskImager software.
4. Run @condi unbricker program and use option 7
after you put the sd card in the tablet just press the start button only and it should display the cold booting text on the sony logo page so you know something is working.
5. be patient and let the @condi software work through each step - some take up to one hour to complete.
6. If you get an error message from the @condi software you have to resolve the problem it won't work if an error occurs. You need to stop and go back through the steps again.
Keep trying it does work if you can solve all the hiccups.

Thanks again @condi
