[RECOVERY] CWM-Based Recovery 6.0.3.2 for Xperia Tablet Z (Stock Kernel) [20130526]

[ibis69]

Can someone please babysit me for a second?

Also, I am on 4.2.2 stock ROM, BL unlocked and rooted. build is 10.3.1.C.0.136 on a SGP311 device. Is the recovery known to work or am I in uncharted waters?

That worked for me.

I have the same configuration with Walter_White:
SGP311
Build: 10.3.1.C.0.136
unlocked bootloader and rooted.



Thanks

Is TWRP 2.6.3.4 for the SGP321 avaible?
i cant find it

This recovery is setting my device to "pollux" when it's actually SGP311/windy_pollux. Why is it doing this?

To clarify, I flashed "SGP31x -> Advance Stock Kernel with Recovery v01 (FW: 10.1.C.0.344)", which is meant for windy_pollux

UPDATE: I check getprop...device and model in ADB recovery, and it reports that my device is pollux/SGP321, but in rom it reports pollux_windy and SGP311. It is actually a 16gb WIFI only model, and the link I download SAYS that it's made for "SGP31x" so not sure why it's doing this. Has anyone else seen this?

Can I flash this on a SGP311 (Wifi) running stock 4.3 rooted? Unlocked bootloader.

Thanks very much for any info.

 

[cludo47]

can only work for unlocked BL? any CWM can work for locked BL?

Check this out : Its for locked BL I tested it and works perfect on my SGP 321 16 gig LTE. Its not CWM but TWRP and Philz Touch (DUAL)

Should this work with newer firmware? I'm on SGP321 (LTE) build 10.4.B.0.569

when I flash the image, I can get into the CWM just fine, but the device doesn't boot - just get the SONY logo. Able to restore using Emma, but curious how I can go about getting a stable CWM to allow me to root. (bootloader is unlocked)

Hello, all
I've just acquired few days ago a model SGP311 ( WiFi only)
After 1st power on, an update has been done OTA
Now, firmware seems to be version 4.3 ( build 10.4.1.B.0.109 )

It seems the tablet does'nt have any recovery installed ( manual power on with volume up has no effect, and 'adb reboot recovery' only makes a normal boot )

Can I flash the proposed recovery over this kind of stock firmware ?

Thanks a lot for your work.

I have an error. FAILED (remote: command not allowed)

I have to ask.. which model (SGP ??? and what firmware or build number are you trying to root?

I think this will root up to 4.1.2 ( .370 for sgp 321 and .344 I think for spg 311 ) I just did one yesterday it worked well.. as I had a soft brick and I was compelled to flash 4.1.2 (to get root and recovery it worked well without a hitch.)

+1

VOL up and VOL down both don´t work.

HOW TO ENTER RECOVERY ON SGP311:

enable USB debugging in settings.

navigate into your x10flasher_lib directory (or where you have an adb.exe like in android sdk for example) and open command prompt.

type: adb reboot recovery



this instructions should be added to the OP till it´s fixed DooM

Hmm, I have the same issue. Except adb is note finding the device. I can get into fastboot and the device is recognized fine. But adb says no device found.
To make it worse, it won't switch on all the way at all, so it's not like I can use ROM manager to restart in Recovery. Bootloops on the sony logo.


SGP 311 16gb.

Any help appreciate!

SGP 351

Are there any custom recoveries for model SGP 351?
I think I unlocked the bootloader through Sony's development site using fastboot, is there a way to double check that it is unlocked? It did wipe my tablet.
I have scoured google and xda for a method that roots and installs a custom recovery for this device and none are comprehensive and are pretty vague.
I am not very familiar with adb and fastboot and need a little guidance.
A point in the right direction?
