////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

For root on 353:
Flash cwm zip followed by superuser from clockworkmod
@Bin4ry 's tool works on 344 but not 353, another method will be needed for rooting 353.

Root is not always stable now I think, the Tablet will reboot while some root operations are performed, like hosts file edit.
And change superuser app dosen't help in this case.

Hope the files are useful to anybody~

I will appreciate it if someone can make a deodexed rom from the stock firmware for further modifications...
I didn't manage to deodex it...

If root is not stable then
adb shell
su
stop ric

now no more reboots will occour. You have to change /system/bin/ric with a fakefile which for example only sleeps to prevent reboots in future.

Hi I just got my Xperia tablet Z wifi 32GB model SGP312. I downloaded the 10.1.C.0.353 firmware and tried to use flashtools to install it. I have installed the drivers, flashtools detects my tablet. When I click on flash, it ask me to unplug the tablet, press the "back button" and plug in the USB cable. There is no "back button" on our tablet. So I tried pressing the volume up, my Pc shows it is installing the flashboot drivers. However, flashtools does nothing. I tried pressing volume down instead and it installs fastboot drivers.
Any help? Thanks.

Thank you for your reply.

I tried the procedure you stated and the result is like this:
I found ric locates in /sbin (firmware 355) and no ric is found in Tablet Z system factory image 355/344
stop ric doesn't stop the process (checked with ps), I must use kill PID to do that.
But even after killing the ric process, the tablet reboots when operation to /system is performed.
Replace ric from your root kit using the install-recovery.sh script doesn't help too.

Do you have any idea?

I think its the volume down button not the volume up. Well atleast it volume down on my Xperia Z phone

Yes

VOL+ = Fastboot
VOL- = Flashmode
VOL- and Powerbutton = 1 x Vibrating REBOOT 3 x Vibrating POWER OFF

 

[Fishmanzero]

Yes

VOL+ = Fastboot
VOL- = Flashmode
VOL- and Powerbutton = 1 x Vibrating REBOOT 3 x Vibrating POWER OFF

Same as Tablet Z

 

[UserX10]

Same as Tablet Z

Valid for all Xperia devices with no hardware "back" button
Device with hardware back button will go in flashmode while holding back button and plug USB in

I think difference between Regions should be only pre-installed apps, and a same build no. is shared between regions.
But SGP311 is 16G model so I think flashing this 32G firmware may cause partition problem.
Flash FTF excluding system, partition then update system with CWM should work.

I will try this on my SGP311 (16GB versoion bought in germany). Will report back when ready (could take some hours tough already downloading)

PS: good idea to split the archive; we have doubled download speed



UPDATE 1: doesn´t flash with my current flashtool will try with the new 0.9.11.0

UPDATE 2: It´s flashing right now; i excluded "partition"(because i got the 16gigs version) and "unknown"

UPDATE 3: It´s working, just tick above mentioned checkmarks
