I bricked my SGPT12 Xperia Tablet S. After attempting to install the "signed-txs03_201-ota-130705006.zip" everything seemed to go downhill. The problem is I can't get into recovery/download mode at all. I've tried every possible combination (Pow+VolUp, Pow+VolDown, Pow+Volup+Voldown) to get into recovery, but nothing has worked. The Sony logo appears, then the "blue streak" picture shows up and loops forever.

The only good news is that after awhile, ADB starts working on the tablet. I have already tried "adb reboot recovery" and "adb reboot-bootloader" but each time it just restarts the tablet and shows the Sony logo and proceeds to the "blue streak" animation.

I've tried using the S.onyXT.S [UNBRICKER] tool, but that one keeps on failing when attempting to write the files to the SDcard.

Please, can anyone help me out?

Edit: Also, I forgot to mention. When I try to "su" using ADB, it gives me two errors: "Stopped (signal)" and "Segmentation fault". Since I can't regain root through terminal, I can't use most of the tools of A.I.O.

@dex9mm

now you are so clever

why didn't help me when I need last week???

at least I try to help from mine ideas how I did it
Because the answers you need are already in the relevent threads you just have to look, this is why no one replied because with a small bit of research you find the answers your looking for
Reading is your friend on this fourm the tablets are about 4yrs and 3yrs old now at this stage and any questions are all ready answered a couple of times over so yea pretty much sick of repeating myself if you check my posts out ive been fairly active on this fourm and these threads in particluar also what you did has been suggested about a page or two back in this thread or the unbricker you did nothing that hasn't been done already again reading is your friend


By the way ive no problem with the fact that you posted what you did im only asking you tidy it up so if someone does need to follow it that its clear and understandable
