Hi,


- if you want to stay on stock rom/stock kernel with locked bootloader, you can install this dual recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606 --> the philz touch recovery is working well on my SGP312 running 10.3.1.C.0136

On Unlock Bootloader ( backup your TA partitions before unlocking in case you want to relock bootloader one day, then unlock your tab with sony tool)

- if you want to stay on stock kernel with unlocked bootloader, you should install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433466

- if you want to install rom with non stock kernel (CM ...), you need to flash boot.img from cm10 zip (fastboot flash boot boot.img) : recovery is included in it because XTZ doesn't have recovery partiton

is there any advantage using an unlocked bootloader? something i can't do with a locked bootloader?

it seams the procedure is the same for locked and unlocked bootloader?

or http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2433466

for that i have to install "fastboot", this means to tool "minimal adb and fastboot" or is there a other tool i can do the same?

Hi for the dual recovery, press volume UP at boot to access CWM recovery or volume down to access TWRP recovery.

U can too install xposed framework and this module (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2411887) to add 4 way reboot to the stock rom, when you select reboot to recovery you will acess CWM recovery after reboot

that means first boot into the existing recovery and install the latest recovery and not install it from windows pc?

yes, it's an update package of the dual recovery so you have to update it from cwm recovery
