I found the recovery unusable - I could never get it to load anything from the sdcard and when I managed to get gapps nano loaded from the internal storage the install failed with "not enough space on system' (Lineage 14.1, Xperia Tablet Z).

After spending days trying to get Lineage OS 14.1 installed and working with gapps, finally gave up and went for RR 5.8.5! Perfect flawless install of all things necessary! Thanks

Gave up on Lineage - tried Resurrection Remix - went in like a dream; TWRP not clobbered; GApps installed flawlessly, Xperia Tablet Z now happily running Android 7.1.

I have to ask - given this thread how on EARTH did the OP procedure EVERY get past Step 11s "reboot into TWRP"? TWRP isn't THERE any more. ---------- Post added at 03:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:21 PM ---------- Awww you had me so hopeful there - but didn't work I'm afraid -...

Well RR installed great! Worked like a charm ... except: It doesn't have abrowser! Installing gapps never worked - play framework kept crashing and couldn't get anything stable to run - and because of lack of browser couldn't attemp device registration. So decided to go for Linear. That too...

Well, entirely unexpectedly, and flying in the face of Einstein's definition of insanity (doing the exact same thing and expecting the outcome to be different) - I did the exact same thing and the outcome was different! I'll post on my differences to the OP procedure later - but suffice to say...

Yeah I've unlocked it - or not - the menu doesn't say I have but the fastboot command ends successfully. Anyway, caught another thread saying downgrade to 4.something - but that is now having it's own set of problems (after the fastboot oem command to unlock the boot loader, the thing goes into...

So I"m having the exact same problems as you. I'm attempting to downgrade to Kitkat - that goes fine, but the *#*#7378423#*#* isn't displaying the service menu! Very frustrating - can you tell me where you get your firmwares from? Thx.

Hey DHGE - you seem to be up on this, so my 5.1.1 Tablet Z, on both "flashboot flash recovery twrp.img" and "flashboot flash boot twrp.img" fail with Sending 'boot' (11774 KB) OKAY [ 0.442s] Writing 'boot' FAILED (remote: Command...

Still works on Xperia Tablet Z WiFi, firmware 10.7.A.0.228 (I used version 4.6.2, not the very latest) :)

Can't get the root method to work! Any method hangs at different points - any ideas?

Great ROM - almost zero problems since installing months ago. Which brings me to the problem, which appears to be ROM related but may not be - trying to share connection using USB Tethering with a Raspberry PI 3B+ or Ubuntu 16.04 - in both cases I plug in the USB cable to both ends, go to...

OK, for ME it was THIS: There are two pins on the system board that "are" the GPS antennae. This post talks a lot about them - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729322 - but I mention that only to help identify them. On the plastic cover that goes over that (also in that post's...

Just to balance experience and expectations, the problem description is 100% exactly my experience - but the method didn't work for me. I tested my wife's SIM in her phone and it worked. I tested my SIM in my wife's phone and it worked. I tested my wife's SIM in my phone ... and the problem...

Hello V6 installed on N9005 - looking good at the moment except for a tiny tiny niggle: the notification font is waaaay too small. Any way to adjust it? Thx
