Read all steps carefully. You need to run "disable recovery update.zip signature check" option

Hello !

I've got the same problem, (reboot and ... nothing) , I have try with my tablet on the recovery mode (because me too, i just have this choice) and select "disable recovery.... but nothing. It told me something like that :

" ' su ' binary not found. You need root to use this function. Press any key to exit."

What can we do?

I have the same problem. I've tried to get condi to help but that doesn't seem to be working either. I've tried everything. Tablet is still bricked.

Behind you!
i think you are confused with Download mode and debugging mode,
Just enable debugging mode is enough Settings > development section

excusez-moi didn't saw that.

i had something similair but i did not deleted my region file,
but i think it was deleted back then by condi's tool and that you did it by yourself you made the same problem i think i had my tab repaired by Sony.

I am affraid there isn't any further options, mine was bricked too and they replaced a MTB chip which is very important, if all values are zero like mine were you could say like i did: I did a factory reset and it restarted then it didn't do anything anymore you must seek for a company in your envirement who are Sony certified they will send it to sony you only have to pay the sending costs, i did a recovery.log pull too and i sended it to Condi maby you could compare those to recovery logs
and see what are the difference.

I hope that condi might find a sollution, but i am still affraid that you will have to send it back,

Sorry for my english

how were you able to get adb to recognize your device in recovery?

Edit: Forget it I got it. I don't have a region.prop either!

So you are saying that you also have an bricked device? :confused:
if so can you do a recovery.log pull with adb and compare it with the one from Hdi-95
Maby you can see a difference and then there could be a solution for you, because i think Hdi-95 his device is not repaiable for now i think sadly.

First flash an update on you device and after it fails connect your tablet and pull recovery:
adb pull /tmp/recovery.log

maby its something for condi to look at it or just like i said compare
or if i said something stupid dont react.

yf,
Mahaco

But you did everything on your external SD right?. can you use _Hack zip and then if that failes use the ****om Signed zip?. ( ICS )

    I just read your recovery.log for the first time, hdi-95, and recovery will not accept the links I posted previously -- or any build for that matter -- because region.zip on your device is corrupt. You should try to get service from Sony or do a store exchange. Sorry.

    get one more file from recovery! /tmp dir:

    region.prop

    with sdcard install i don't try with a good update because i can't found

    signed-nbx03_001 .... ota update

    so ...


    and for decrypted or signed some update with tool an adb debugging mode is require

    Code:
    [*]*****************************************************************[*]
        Instructions:
         1. Put your device in USB debugging mode. ROOT IS REQUIRED.
         2. Attach it via USB
         3. Run this script.
    
    [*] Run device in normal boot.
    [*] Press enter to begin...

    so i can't create a custom firmwire with good 'sku' parameter
