Hey Guys... Today i found this wonderful topic about flashing the Xperia Z2 tablet (because i want to flash it to android 7).
But i have little knowledge of flashing an Android device.

So i did the steps in the very first post and the tablet is now starting in recovery mode, but what to do now?

I don't have any image file or what so ever to choose from to flash.
But when i restart the tablet now, i get the Sony logo and thats it.... :confused:

Did i miss anything? I hope anyone can give me some steps how i can easily flash a new rom/image to the device, because i can't do anything now besides booting in recovery mode... :cowboy:

Hahaha.. Very true! When you don't try, you never get anywhere... :)

So if i understand you correctly, i can install all those packages right after each other?

And i can't just download a full rom and only install that?
Because i don't really understand the OpenGApps package and what it's good for. I thought a normal rom would be enough.

Hi, I need help.
I flashed boot.img from ROM.zip and one of the TWRP.img's on my SGP511.
After removing cable I turn on my tablet and see only the SONY logo and that's it. I tried this several times but there is no pink LED flashing up. Whats wrong?

I've had that as well.... I believe the boot loader isn't unlocked.
Then you can't get into the recovery mode.

It's unlocked!
I fallowed this instructions before I flashed the recovery on my SGP511
Open the Contacts app. Click the menu button in the top right, Click Settings.
Long press (for about 5 seconds) somewhere in the empty space just above soft key bar, and then release your finger. A button named Enter service code will then appear in the same area (this may take a few tries).
Click Enter service code. A dialler will appear. Enter *#*#7378423#*#* in the dialler.
Tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes,

It worked, I've just finished installing. I made a mistake by flashing the boot.img.
The first thing I just noticed is that I have no 5Ghz WiFi. 2.4Ghz is there.
