Softbrick after twrp flash

[brickedmytablet]

Hi everyone,

I tried to install Lineage OS on my Xperia Tablet Z Wifi and followed the instructions here: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/pollux_windy/install

I am on Ubuntu and I did unlock the bootloader successfully. Then I tried to flash twrp but this is where things went wrong.

After entering

 fastboot flash boot ./twrp-3.5.2_9-0-pollux_windy.img

the device did not start anymore. I can still enter fastboot mode and the device is recognized on the PC but else the only thing that happens is the LED blinking red.

Any ideas where to go from here are appreciated.

you flashed recovery to boot. So only recovery exists in boot section.
Of course tablet won't boot afterwards, as there is not kernel.

Download custom rom you want to install, unpack boot.img from roms zip files and flash via "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
Afterwards enter recovery and flash custom rom zip, gapps or whatever you need.

I tried this but flashing the boot.img does not change anything unfortunately.

I tried this but flashing the boot.img does not change anything unfortunately.

You can reflash stock ROM via Flashtool v.0.9.18.6. or flash another boot.img to check if it boots or not.

Thank you, this worked for me.

Should have used the right twrp form the beginning. flash to boot works if it is the right version in my case scorpion_windy
