Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet WiFi / WiFi + LTE - Official and unofficial firmware
Sony Karin, SGP712 (Wi-Fi), SGP771 (Wi-Fi + LTE)
Description | Discussion пїЅ | Firmware пїЅ

Important Information

When installing something, always make a backup!
You can upload any official firmware to the device using Flashtool without losing the warranty.
You need to remove the fwinfo.xml file before building the ftf firmware.

When you unlock the bootloader (boot, bootloader), the unique DRM keys stored in the TA partition are lost. Therefore, official software support is terminated, updates should be installed manually via Flashtool or through recovery.
I recommend if possible to make a backup of the TA-partition.
When restoring someone else's backup with the TA partition, get a brick!

You also need to turn off MyXperia before unlocking the bootloader and in no case turn on after, as you can get a brickhttp://sonystory.ru/20…smartphone-into-brick/I advise you to remove MyXperia from system applications after rutting.

Other ways from the cap tried?
Drivers Fastboot fell into place? There are no questions in the device manager? Is the tablet hopefully in fastboot mode?

[Mr.Ros]

The drivers have become normal, when you enter the command, the fastboot devices display the serial number of the device, then the system sees it. But something goes wrong ... is there another option?

Did my recommendations help?

[korchmar]

Very few info / instructions. To make backup DRM keys need root, and to get the root you need to unlock the bootloader, which in turn erases the DRM keys. According to the instructions for obtaining the root, what is My Xperia, which you do not need to enter?

[manowar123]

I realized that the manual was not read, I updated the header with the added manual.
Especially for you, page 125, all the details you are interested in.

As for the DRM keys, the instruction is in the header, in which there is not a word about the rootFlashtool

If you find any more detailed instructions, you are welcome, I will add it to the cap while I pile up what I found myself.

Thank you, + left. The manual, of course, did not read, much less up to 125 pages.

If you follow the link to the instructions about the flashlight and TA section, there immediately in large blue letters:

We move to a subsection. Fruitful discussion!

[manowar123]

I updated the cap, added the first caste, I did not check it myself, are there anyone?
Instructions taken from foreign forums in steps:
1. Unlock the bootloader according to the official instructions from Sony
2. Installing a custom kernel androplus kernel, as well as custom recovery
3. Download the firmware file (the name should contain AOSP_L_MR1 _....._ karin.zip)
4. Download gapps (arm64 / android 5.1 / stock (or optional)
5. Restart the tablet in recovery mode wipe davlik cache.
6. Install the firmware file (the name should contain AOSP_L_MR1 _....._ karin.zip) and gaps

While there are a few reviews on xda in the corresponding branch, they write that everything works more or less stable

All necessary links in the header

A little description would ... Then maybe you could try.

There is a minimum description on the team site, I would even say that it is not there, it is known that the AOSP, that Android 5.1, and the experimental core 3.10. If you find something interesting, be sure to add

[Persik7]

Greetings to all! I would like to know, is there anyone who got root for firmware 28.0.A.8.260? If so, share information on how to do this?
P.S. The Chinese method is indicated in the header, but it is dumb to use it, and there are no reviews in the net, it turns out or not. I do not want a brick.

only working today

[Persik7]

I decided, nevertheless, to flash through this instruction from the Chinese. I do everything as described. Up to 5 points everything went well. But further, I can not understand, he writes that you need to overload the tablet, turn it on and when the LED lights up, press the volume keys, and supposedly TWRP will boot? But nothing happens to me, the tablet just loads in normal mode. What can I do wrong? Or maybe something especially needs to be pressed so that TWRP starts loading? Or did I just misunderstand something? Tell me please.

[spider-man666]

Can you please update to 28.Рђ.8.260, now what not to get root right? I understand this method is valid only for 28.0.A.7.24 or 28.0.A.7.27? (((((

[spider-man666]

In general, as I understand it, it is possible to flash the kernel on the latest stock firmware.https://kernel.andro.plus/kitakami.html
But I get no drm backup keyshttp: //forum.xda-devel…t64052276#post64052276
http: //forum.xda-devel...ition-restore-t3267685

It will be interesting to those who do not know what we are losing after opening the bootloader
