[GUIDE]Convert Docomo SO-05G to SGP771

[GVN.Gallus]

After several attempt, i managed to install SGP771 LTE firmware on my SO-05G Ntt DoCoMo tablet.

First, mine is already unlock simcard from dealer, i dont know the procedure to unlock so dont ask. After install SGP771 fw, its running with no problem, simcard still accepted, LTE work.

I will not go detail on how to use Flashtool, xperifirm or driver install etc, since these things a common for Xperia users.

Here is the stock modified ftf to use with flashtool, its based on Hongkong 32.4.A.1.54:

Open flashtool, after choose firmware to flash, tick the following option:

WIPE: APP_LOGS, DIAG, USERDATA

EXCLUDE: AMSS_FSG, AMSS_FS_1, AMSS_FS_2, B2B, FOTAKERNEL, MODEM, PARTITION-IMAGE

Then flash like normal.
Goodluck. :fingers-crossed:

Using it for a while now, no problem at all, except the device seem a little bit warmer while running heavy games.

Very cool to see somebody do something new with these. The hardware is still superb; it's such a pity that the software was abandoned while it was still so young. I'd love to see Oreo or Pie on these.

Me too I've three of them and would love to see some noble soul port recent version of Android.

Nice trick. I hope it works with my phone too. Which version of flashtool did you use? and did you modify the FTF in any way?

can you guide me to update firmwares

I recently used Sony Z4 tablet Docomo. I don't know how to update the firmware. Can you guide me?

SO-05G can't unlock the bootloader. It means it was not same as SGP771.

How about the NFC? Is it still works??

Hi, first of all, I'm new at XDA, so I really apologise

Recently, I bought a second hand Docomo z4 tablet from my friend. He bought it when he attend his education at japan about 3-4 years-ish ago. The tablet had a signal issue for about 6 months [no signal but the card is detected], so he sold for cheap. It was a nice deal for me [$100 with a cheap bluetooth keyboard], as I need a tablet/laptop for working on my papers asap [mine was stolen] where the problem was a non issue [still have my trusty nokia candybar].

Mostly, it runs fine, great even, but when I open my a bit big research project, it was chugging a bit. My friend said to try root or install linux/lineageos as it has less bloatware and newer android version [to bad I found that lienageos for z4 tablet was dropped ]. I was searching far and wide on how to root this tablet, but apparently mine was unable to be rooted [Bootloader unlock allowed: no]. I have tried almost everything like software repair using sony pc companion using my friend's pc but no luck whatsoever.
I am really curious, will flashing this change the bootloader unlock status to yes? or uninstalling the bloatwares? or this is just modifying the model number to show SGP771 instead SO-05g?

Thank you kindly

No, this rom will not change the bootloader unlock state. But it will transform your device to global version, without Japanese bloatwares.
The rom itself is official SGP771's rom, i'm only modified the flash code to make it flashable on SO-05G.

Need help to convert

Hi, thank you for this rom, It's work well, but I got little problem, do you have a way to convert back from SGP to Docomo, the problem is, since I use this rom, I got ghost touch under the front camera, I think because the tablet become quite warmer, appreciate your help.

Regards,
