[ROOT][SGP351/321/311/312][4.3] Update to 10.4.B.0.569/577 [UB/LB][XZDualRecovery]

[zombiej79]

I´m pretty sure that will cause bootloops.
Xposed modules from 4.2.2 will not work in 4.3 like the kernels from 4.2.2

Yeah re did it no xposed. And it's good. Miss dpi changing though lol

STEPS TO Flash Older FTF Version and Get Root and Recovery for 4.3 Update

Back to 4.1.2 and Rooting

2. Install Vroot from (www.mgyun.com/vroot) (DooMLord Exploit will not work for SGP351)
3. Select Debugging on from the Settings Menu
4. Select Unknown Sources under Security Menu in Settings
5. Connect your phone with USB (use your tablet cable)
6. VROOT will detect click the green button it will Reboot (if it prompts any access request grant it). Now successfully Rooted.

Copy the 4,3 Files to your SD Card as mentioned in the first Post

Install the XZ Dual Recovery

1. Download the ZX Dual Recovery from [NUT] files (Latest Version is TabZ-lockeddualrecovery2.7.62-BETA.installer).
2. Install Busybox by Stephen (Stericson) from Play store.
3. Install the Busybox (you're tablet may Reboot in the middle if proper System RW is not there), try installing it till you get success.
4. Now connect your phone and install the XZ Dual recovery folder Install.bat file
5. Select the Option as Super User (2), it will copy all the stuffs and reboot and start in Philz Recovery. (if not you need to install other busybox and start again from 4)

This is a messy guide... And also when powering off the SGP311... it freezes for like a minute then powers off!...... I rather wait for a proper rooting method than this, if this is the only solution then i rather have stock unrooted device.

I think Xposed wont' work at all. Installer installs itself but won't install framework. This is the problem I'm stuck now.


Does anyone has the same issue after upgrading/rooting 4.3 ?

and the solution :cyclops:

 

[hasenbein1966]

Yeah, thank you very much!

Just a few minutes ago I wanted to post that Xposed doesn't work...

Now all works well!

It's even possible to use Extended Desktop via Gravity Box module. Very good.

The fix for mounting system on the SGP311 is not working. Using the script method...

The rest worked nicely. Though Calendar force closes when I try to view Day or Week...

it depends on how your doing and installing the apps.. it takes more time to turn off if you install the Xposed with Power menu option. else i didn't see any difference. again i'm not sure on the SGP311 though

in that case try flashing the SuperSu.zip and Tablet ZX Dual recovery (2.7.62) (older version will not work with 4.3) after flashing the 4.3 flashable file before booting..
if you are not able to get recovery try the Tablet ZX Dual recovery installer version

No no... I have recovery and root. It is just the remount /system R/W fix that you included that isn't working. The rest is Okay...

what happen if you manually launche the script that fix /system RW after installing the firmware? are you able to fix it?

You don't need to fix /system or something in Tablet Z's ROM! The system partition is writable (not like in Z1 ROM), try to use Root Explorer, go to /system, and push"mount R/W" button. If no error message (and don't have to be), your system writable.

About Calendar FC: yes, older Google Calendar versions sometimes FC when Sony Calendar also installed, try to install this like normal apk, and after installing download from Play Store the latest update also:

you have to flash the 4.3.zip and without booting/clearing cache, poweroff and go bak to flashmode and flash the stripped.ftf for your tablet.

if you have operator locked customization flash your original file

Tutorial: how to flash stock ROMs with Flashtool

 

[xxliftsupxx]

No back Bootloop , so I changed the Custom Europe 67 installed - then root with Vroot - then Philz Recovery - then your custom DE zip in recovery flashed - then reboot off and flashed off the DE stripped from you - at boot time only Sony Bootloop ...

The thing is that it does mount, but when it does, the tablet reboots.

Regarding Calendar, It isn't Google Calendar closing, it is Sony one. I don't even have Google one installed...

You made a factory reset in recovery before installing the 4.3 zip? This kind of strange errors happen when you install new ROM without wipeing the old system... I have no other idea...
