From 5.1 Lollipop to 8.1 Oreo -> is this possible? - Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
Probably a silly question, I have a SGP312 and it is on Lollipop since 3 years, do you think is there a way to upgrade to the latest Android 8.1?
If not 8.1, what would be the highest version I can go and how?
The Tablet is essentially a stock one, I never did anything on it, just applied the Sony updates they made available for this old model.
Thank you,
Alex

Hello!
It's quite possible to install even the latest 8.1, though it is still not that stable now.
If you want 99% bug-free experience, i would stick to android 7.1.2, like Resurrection Remix ROM till 8.1 gets to a polished state.
Check this guide for installing custom ROMs on device.

Thank you for the link!
I will give it a try very soon.

Hi buddies,
I have a Sony Xperia Tablet Z (Model: SGP321) with Lollipop v5.0.2.
I had rooted it since a couple of years, so no need to say, it couldn't be upgraded to any higher version of android.
Now I unrooted it and wanna upgrade its android.
My questions:
1. What's the highest Android version officially released for this model?
2. What's the best version you advise me to install on it?
Thanks for your kind & prompt reply.
Cheers,
Leon

Hello!
1. The latest official firmware is android 5.1.1 (v.10.7.A.0.222 or 10.7.A.0.228 depending on region, though internally they are identical).
You can update via xperia-companion software.
2. What's the best only you can say. If stock sony one works good for you, stick to it.
If you have knowledge how to install, and want to try something "custom", there are firmwares based on android 7.1.2 and 8.1 on this forum.

The media players on my Xperia sgp312 keep pausing, has it got something to do with the software, I am still on Android 5.1.1

Sorry for my bad question and thank you for your reply.
My vendor doesn't provide the update for my device.
It is a Malaysia production smartphone.
My question are, can I just simply upgrade my version from 4.0.4 to stock android 4.4 from google?
Any specific system requirements for upgrade version?

no you can't, if your vendor doesn't give the update, you can't just simply update it, ,
but, if you can or understand about android programming, you can build it your self from the Source, like AOSP, Cyanogen, etc...

yea. That is what I am looking for but sadly I am not the programmer.
Waiting any expert to build it.
I don’t think you should to wait. There won’t be much or no support for these phones. Your best bet is to root and remove any unwanted system apps.
Highest I tried JB 4.1.1

Have Android O or Android P been ported to the SpreadTrum SC9853i-IA SoC?

Hi Everyone,
The title says it all: I own a Leagoo T5c running a SpreadTrum SoC, the SC9853i-IA, and so far, I've been able to flash a new ROM once, one still based on Nougat that was released in March of 2018, and a quick trip to the manufacturer's website informed me that it was the latest stable release as Leagoo recognizes it.
(Granted, there are newer ROMs on NeedRom, but a) I don't know where they come from (meaning, I'm not sure they're clean), and b) you've got to pay to download them)
Hence my question: do any of you know of newer ROMs based on either Oreo or (let's go crazy!) Pie? If the answer's yes, then where can I find them? I've Googled the subject and got nowhere.

what kind of XZ1 you got?
if it's Japanese XZ1 AU(SOV36) in this case, just like mine, you have to stick with original ROM from AU Japan..
if u flash it with global firmware, you'll encounter that randoom restart / reboot problem
no, I didn't own one yet. as i am among those who use latest custom rom on their daily driver, i found X Performance to be frustrating. No official custom rom support from anyone, kernel 4.4 and 4.9 wifi problems, no further updates from sony open devices project and for sodp 4.14....yeah. this phone is dead as a dodo
i thought xz1 might worth an upgrade. tremendous performance upgrade than 820, ufs 2.1, lpddr4x memory.....there are two custom roms that i see has official support for it. carbonrom and pixelexperience. i saw xz1s scattering around my online local marketplace that some people say they got random reboots, some say not.
thanks for advice. I'll be looking forward to buy the version as you suggested. i hope i can stick with it at least a year....

Which Rom To Use

Just got my XZ1 g8341 today. I've had the compact for 3 years and decided to go with a bigger screen.
I don't know much about the roms because I've run stock pie on my compact. My XZ1 only has android 8.
I've tried to read the list of roms but I'm not sure which one to install. Can someone suggest a newbie a solid rom like android 10?
Thanks.

NOPE, DON'T EXPECT ANDROID 8 OR HIGHER ROMS FOR THIS TABLET.
No one wants to develop software for old ****ing things that aren't iconic or popular enough nowadays, everyone's either focusing on modern phones from Google, Xiaomi, etc.... or phones that were literally hot **** back then (like the Samsung Galaxy S2, S3, S4, etc...)
Highest you can go is Lollipop (and maybe, Marshmallow?)

If your model is a 7D-50xx/S7-30xx variant, you can get custom ROMs for them.
For 7D-50xx (Mediapad X1) models, there's only a beta version of Lollipop from Huawei (and since it's a beta from Huawei, that means there must have been an official update already - go check your updates in the settings if your model is the 7D-50xx model.)
For S7-30xx (Mediapad T1, 7 inches) models, you can get CyanogenMod 10.1 running on it, but that is on 4.2.1. But since you don't give me the specifics of your model name, I don't think I'll be able to help you much.
hey may i ask how u managed to unlock the bootloader, i went through hell i have the 701W version but i can't find any proper solution.
