Tablet Z 321 with latest Lolipop firmware in boot loop

I have unlocked my tablet using Sony Developer tools. I then tried to downgrade with flashtools to a kitkat firmware . I tried 2 different firmwares for SGP 321 but both give me a boot loop.
I am using flashmode to flash , should I use fastboot mode?
any other firmware I should try or settings in the flashtool?
these are the ones I tried: SGP321_4.4.2 _10.5.A.0.233 3AT .ftf. SGP321_10.1.1.A.1.307_Customized_FR.ftf
All I want is a rooted tablet z with whatever firmware on it.
Appreciate your help
When you say boot loop, do you mean the screen goes black and starts to boot again?
Or do you mean the boot animation is repeating for a long time?
The first time you boot up after flashing an ftf will take a long time. It can range from a few minutes up to tens of minutes.
Did you select wipe USERDATA when you flashed the ftf in flash mode?
Try that if you haven't. See attached screenshot.
Checking it will wipe all your apps, data and internal storage.
I'd recommend you use the latest ROM, 10.7.A.0.228. Root and Xposed works on Lollipop 5.1.1.
Here is a Generic Germany FTF 10.7.A.0.228.
You'll need to root it by flashing supersu zip in recovery.
If you don't have a recovery flashed/installed, you should flash one.
Let me know if you need instructions on installing a recovery.
fantastic, that little trick did the job and I am now on 4.1 .
I am considering now to flash your firmware but could you give me some detailed instruction on what to do please, especially the recovery part.
thanks a lot again.
No problem.
Requirements
Program to open ZIP files
Flashtool (flashtool.net/downloads.php)
Flash mode and Fastboot drivers installed (Comes with Flashtool. Find the installer at C:\Flashtool\drivers\)
A few things you should know about recovery
If you plan on using an official Sony ROM with an unlocked bootloader, the recovery needs to be part of the kernel image.
Sony's official kernel images do not contain a recovery.
The kernel gets overwritten when you flash new ROMs (Official and Custom), so you will lose recovery every time you flash a ROM.
Thus you must reflash the kernel with recovery every time you change ROMS.
Kernel's for different versions of ROMs should not be used interchangeably.
It always best to use the kernel made for the ROM.
Flash official ROM before flashing recovery
If you are planning on using an official ROM, flash the official ROM in Download Mode before flashing the recovery (for the reason mentioned above - kernel gets overwritten).
You should wipe USERDATA to minimise compatibility issues.
Do this first before proceeding.
Downloading a kernel with recovery
Fellow xda member [NUT] has an awesome kernel builder tool which allows you to create kernel images with built in recoveries.
Head over to nut.xperia-files.com and navigate to XZDualRecovery > Kernel Builder
Check the checkbox "Yes, I have unlocked my bootloader!".
Select the Make and model of your device (Xperia Tablet Z SGP321 in your case).
Then select the firmware version you will be using (10.7.A.0.228 in your case).
Cross your fingers. If someone has already uploaded the kernel for that version, you can simply download the link provided. Otherwise you will need to upload the kernel. If you have an FTF, simply open it as a zip file and upload the kernel.sin inside.
Flashing Kernel with Recovery
Open the zip file downloaded from the Kernel Builder and open the tmp folder. Extract the boot.img file inside the tmp folder to somewhere on your computer.
Open Flashtool.
Click on the Flash Icon.
Select Fastboot mode.
Click "Select Kernel to Flash".
Put device into Fastboot mode. (2012+ devices: Press and hold VOL+ button while plugging in USB cable)
Once connected, a file selection dialogue will show. Select the boot.img file extracted earlier. You may need to select the type of file (sin, elf, img) before you can see the file in the explorer.
Flashing will start immediately after selection. Check the log and ensure there are no errors.
Unplug the USB cable.
You now have recovery (Two recoveries to be specific - as XZDualRecovery has PhilZ and TWRP).
I would recommend TWRP as it is easier to use and has more features than PhilZ (Based on CWM).
The VOL+ key is associated with PhilZ and the VOL- key for TWRP.
To enter recovery, simply turn the device on and when the notification LED turns Magenta (Pink) start pressing the button associated with the recovery you want to use.
e.g. Press VOL- a few times for TWRP.
Flashing zips
Copy your ZIPs to your SD card.
In TWRP, tap the Install button.
Select the zip file you want to flash
Swipe to the right to start flashing.
Rooting
Download the latest SuperSU zip (download.chainfire.eu/supersu)
Copy to SD card.
Flash zip in recovery.
Enjoy root.
about to start the process, just wanted to clarify some things:
what zip files are you talking about putting on my sd card? is this the file I downloaded from NUT?
thanks again for your help
Just in general, to flash a zip, you would perform those steps.
You would want to flash the SuperSU zip to get root.
You can also flash the file downloaded from NUT.
It will install a program called NDRUtils which will allow you to reboot into recovery from within Android.
I just saw when I wanted to flash the firmware from your link above (Here is a Generic Germany FTF 10.7.A.0.228.) that this identifies as for device C6603. But I have SPG321.
Do you have a link to a firmware which would work with your way and is for my device?
Oh, sorry about that. Forgot to check the model. I grabbed it from XperiaBlog.
I think I should just explain how to download and create an FTF for yourself from Sony's servers.
Install the latest Flashtool if you haven't already.
Start Flashtool
Click on the XF icon (The rightnost icon)
In XperiFirm, select the series and model of your device (Xperia Tablet Z > SGP321)
Then select the Market+Operator for your country/region. The market only differs by the apps that are pre-installed, which can be removed. Your region may not have the latest firmware available, so you can click the "Check All" button to get the versions of all the markets. You may wish to avoid commercial Operators as they can have different boot logos etc. Download a "VMo" or "Customized" operator if possible. The 228 firmware is only out in a few regions at the moment, so Germany VMo DE would be a good choice.
After selecting a row for the firmware you want, click on the latest version near the top right corner.
A window will show the details of the ROM. Click Download to start downloading. The downloads will get saved to FlashTool's Firmware Download folder.
Once the download completes, close XperiFirm.
In Flashtool, Click Tools > Bundles > Create.
Select the downloaded folder (Which should be in C:\Users\<Username>\.flashTool\firmwares\Downloads).
Double click in the device field to select the model of your device
Branding should be set to the Operator you downloaded (e.g. Generic DE)
Version should be set to the ROM version (e.g. 10.7.A.0.228)
Then in the folder list, select every item except for .ta files (e.g. cust-reset.ta, fota-reset.ta). Click the -> button to add to the Firmware Content.
Click create.
An FTF file will get created in the firmware folder. You can start flashing it in Download Mode.
If you need some screenshots. The procedure may differ slighty.

Flash zip in download mode

Hey
Yesterday I flashed a boot logo on my SM-G928F in TWRP. After that my phone doesn't boot into system or recovery anymore - there's always a blackscreen. I only can boot into download mode.
I tried to flash a stock-rom via Odin but that didn't helped - the same blackscreen, because a stock rom does not replace the boot logo.
I think I have to flash the stock boot logo ( https://drive.google.com/file/d/1378RQ5w_vAAmnQ3HB0FymZXWIm12T0Mg/view ) , but thats a zip which I can't flash via Odin.
There a two ways in my mind which could work:
1. Getting a tar.md5 file with the stock boot logo.
2. Getting a tool which allows to flash zips in download mode of the phone.
I really hope that someone could help me with my big problem.
Best regards
DGB
Hey there
I recommend to flash the firmware again but this time after flashing firmware flash the twrp and flash the zip via adb sideload ( a feature present in TWRP) as by adb sideload one is able to flash zip files as well
Or i recommend you to get to know the combination of keys that will help you to directly enter into recovery
Hope it will work
And if there is any problem let me know
As in the internet there are various ways by which a person can flash the custom rom and custom recovery via odin
Look at this link:-

Thank you for your answer but that didn't worked. The problem is that flashing the stock firmware doesn't replace or repair the boot image. So I've got a never ending blackscreen when I want to boot in system or TWRP/Recovery and that means that I'm not able to configure ADB Sideload.
I can only boot into download mode, nothing else.
I think the jpg of the boot logo I've installed was corrupted so it can't be loaded
You are in download mode so you have to press all the keys including the home button and once the download mode closes then press the "volume up key and power key and also the home button and then your phone will automatically reboot into recovery.
I know, I tried that multiple times but it doesn't work. Blackscreen... only a never ending blackscreen. The download mode is the only thing taht works. I have to flahs the old boot logo via download mode... but i don't know how
Wait for the battery to be drained out completely and then do what i said earlier

I did. but it didn't work, too
I really need someone who is able to integrate the stock boot logo into a custom rom which can be flashed via Odin... Or I need a tool which allows to install zips in download mode. I tried adb sideload again but it didn't recognizes my phone when its not in recovery.
I really think that my S6 edge + is nearly died :crying:

Not even flashing a factory firmware (4 files with pit) with repartition option selected?
What about a combination firmware and then a full stock FW?

I only tried to flash stock firmware with AP in Odin... and I tried stock rom with re-partition.
Where do I get those 4 files? I need XEU for my SM-G928F. It would be very nice if you could give me a more detailed instruction for this because I never worked with PIT...
get samfirm v0.3.6
On the model you put sm-g928f, region XEU, tick the binary nature box and press "check update". Download the resulting file, that is a factory firmware to do repairs in a 4 files format: bootloader, pda or ap, modem or cp and csc!
You will get this file:
SM-G928F_1_20180305151001_nsg8uwd0sh_fac.zip
Put each file in the correct field in odin!
About combination firmware, it needs to be same binary version as stock firmware already programed on phone! if first number on firmware version is a 3, combination FW need to be also bin 3!
G928FXXS4CRB4 if is 4, you need comb fw also in bin 4! if you downgrade you get odin error and a softbrick!
Was checking if any comb. fw is available, but i find only paid files for your phone model!

It worked means you got your phone back to normal or you could get the firmware using samfirm?
Pit file is always inside csc file on a 4 files fac firmware. Use the pit on firmware because the pit from your link can be from a early version of android and have different bits for partition sizes!
EDIT: Here, got the combination fw for the binary 4. IF your phone is already ok, don't use this!

[Please Help] - Can only flash HOME CSC after samFAIL attempt. Stuck on EmergencyMode

As stated on the title I tried to do SamFAIL on my N950, it was on latest Oreo and I didn't know it would not work (my mistake)
I did the system flash with the .pit file on comsy odin successfully (it finished with fail as expected) but after that I cant flash anything.
I downloaded many official FW packages, Nougat and Oreo everything fails on official Odin, gives model mismatch error on comsy odin.
The only file I can flash is this : HOME_CSC_OYN_N950UOYN4CRD7_CL13303302_QB17839096_REV00
Its from the Oreo official package. If I try the regular CSC it fails as everything else. HOME CSC from nougat versions fail as well.
What I have tried so far:
Other Computer, Windows 7/10, other cable, all versions of odin (only 3.12.3 flashes home csc successfully), Smart Switch says unsupported device, no recovery mode stuck on Emergency Mode, sometimes it boots to normal download Mode
Is there a trick to force the flash? Did I break my device by doing the .pit flash? I thought that official FW would always flash no matter what... Hope someone has some ideas. Thanks in advance!

[SM-J530F] Can't flash back to stock ROM

I was using a custom OREO rom, and i tried to install another country's stock firmware (CYV) which had android OREO. Now my sim is not recognised, I am trying to flash the original stock of my carrier(COS) (Which had android 7) firmware but odin fails, and device shows SYSTEM REV. CHECK DEVICE 1 BINARY 0.
I can only use ODIN to flash the new (CYP) firmware.
Also after installing the CYP firmware it added on the boot a line Protected by knox which did not exist before, please I have tried everything? Is my phone bricked for good?
Hi , try this:
1. Download your stock firmware Android 7 if you have it skip this step
https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=22DB920E54E011E89F15FA163EE8F90B
2. Once you download your firmware use 7-zip and rename end of firmware name tar.md5 to .tar and extract to desktop just recovery.img .
3. Now use 7-zip and recovery.img to archive recovery.tar .
4. Open Odin , click on AP and add recovery.tar , put your device in Download mode and flash with odin .
5. If you successfully flashed recovery just reflash after that full firmware .
If that problem is still there try DBT version .

[How To] How to root Samsung Galaxy A03 the proper way

This is my first guide. Please forgive me for any mistakes and please alert me if there are any.​Some Samsung phones and tablets are having bootloops when flashing patched AP file. This guide gives you root and no bootloops!
These issues will also no longer happen: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...he-phone-turn-off-magisk-frija.4462471/unread
My Samsung Galaxy A03 died (sorta) and then I could use it only after the battery discharged.
Few months later I tried rooting again.
YOUR WARRANTY IS NOW VOID AND I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE! KNOX is tripped too!​This guide can be used as a general guide for these type of devices by Samsung.
Prerequisites:​- Your device will be factory reset! Make sure you backup!
- This guide assumes that you are on the latest firmware.
- Download and install Samsung USB drivers from here.
- Download ODIN from here.
- Download and install 7-Zip from here.
Guide:​1. Download firmware zip using this.
2. Extract it.
3. Extract boot.img from AP archive.
4. Patch boot.img in Magisk and copy it back to PC.
5. Rename it to boot.img.
6. Right click on boot.img then hover on 7-Zip and then click on Add to archive
7. Click on archive format and select "tar" from the dropdown menu.
8. Toggle OEM unlock from developer options (to enable keep tapping the build number in software info till developer options are not enabled)
9. If your device is carrier locked then close this tab and go do something else.
10. If you see OEM unlock and toggled it then we are ready for the next step.
11. Power off device.
12. Press volume up + volume down and then attach USB cable to phone with PC.
13. A warning screen should appear.
14. Long press volume up and then press volume up for confirmation.
15. Your device will reset and the bootloader will be unleashed!
16. When you get to the setup, power it off again.
17. Follow step 12 again but this time don't long press, only short press volume up.
18. It should get into download mode.
19. Open ODIN then the log should show "Added!!!", If it doesn't then try reinstalling drivers and reboot.
20. Then click the AP button and then select the boot.tar file.
21. Click on "Start"
22. It will flash and automatically reboot.
23. Setup your phone and install Magisk and you should be rooted!
or
Follow this guide if you rooted this phone to get rid of privacy invasion and software restrictions and if you live in India (UP) and got this phone for free.
OTA Updates (For this phone and similar devices, not a general guide!):​Samsung phones do not have A/B partition scheme. Samsung's OTA updater will be broken and any update you try will fail. However, flashing the latest version with Odin should work and then flashing patched boot.img separately. Cannot guarantee it works on this phone though. If it works I'll definitely update this guide.
EDIT: Flashing official firmware and then flashing patched boot.img works!
enjoy!
It didn't work for me with odin and I got bootloop, but it worked with Heimdall:
Code:
heimdall flash --BOOT magisk-patched.img
or:
Code:
heimdall flash --boot magisk-patched.img
