Stock Firmware 10.1.1.A.1.253 FTF for XPERIA Tablet Z Model SGP321 16GB LTE

SGP321_10.1.1.A.1.253_Unbranded.ftf.zip.001 - 480.00 MB
SGP321_10.1.1.A.1.253_Unbranded.ftf.zip.002 - 268.49 MB

Notes:
Generated using Sony EMMA & Androxyde's flashtool

Bin4ry/tkymgr rooting scripts don't work with 253 - or at least they never worked for me......

DooMLoRD's CWM Recovery works a treat & does give a most welcome side effect of ROOT :)

Has been successfully flashed to SO-03E 32GB DoCoMo branded tablet, docomo apps & boot ani replaced by stock Sony versions, BUT it gets partitioned as 16GB device......

Thx:
K4HD for testing
Androxyde et al for Flashtool
DooMLoRD for his CWM Recovery
Sony for a nice bit of kit:)

Thanks for the upload.

My current firmware is .250 so I cant just load this firmware can I?

Is there anyway we can resize the partition with an app?

Thanks

Ah I give up I'll wait until some easy options.... what I got was you cant backup your TA without root----> You cant root without your BL unlocked ( firmware .253 for now), you will lose BA2 and Drm if you unlock your bootloader.... So the question still rolls how to root your Z tablet with Firmware .253 without unlocking BL ?

maybe because the tablet is still very new, theres not many out there that people have their hands on..

might be best to wait until its been released world wide and a lot more of this is on demand?

perhaps.. does anyone has say .344 or earlier... firmware? I can make my firmware's back up first and then downgrade and then root it, do TA backup for future's sake, and then unlock the bootloader :)

From what I read, TA needs to be backed up before any BL unlock. once its unlocked the TA partition is gone for good along with the keys...no way of ever getting it back

Yup thats why I want to root first and then Doomlords paradox.. no root without BL unlock and No BL unlock without root thingy... somehow I'll try to manage.

**Edit**

BtW does any one has the old firmware before or .344 or is it 334 where goroh_kuns rooting works??
