Downgrading a Sony Z3 Tablet Compact tablet SGP612 from lollipop to kitkat for remote play

Hi,I was hoping someone would be able to help me downgrade my Sony Z3 Tablet Compact tablet SGP612 lollipop 5.1.1 to kitkat 4.4.4? It is a UK model. I bought this tablet solely for remote play streaming from the PS4. The streaming worked ok when I first got the tablet but was close to perfect when the 60fps PS4 firmware came out. Then lollipop came out and unfortuantely there has been massive lag with remote play on my tablet since, this includes the latest 5.1.1 lollipop update. I can confirm that I have done a fresh install of 5.1.1 from the PC companion app but there is still noticeable lag in remote play. I also have a decent Asus RT-AC66u router running Merlins firmware and the tablet is connected via 5ghz.
So on 03/08 I decided I've had enough and followed the guide to downgrade to Kitkat at http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/03/17/guide-to-installing-xperia-lollipop-using-xperifirm-and-flashtool/ but the problem is the kitkat 4.4.4 firmware is no longer in the Xperifirm list of firmwares there are only 2 versions listed which are both lollipop, can someone please advise where I can get the appropriate kitkat firmware? I am not rooted and don't want to be as I would like to keep my DRM keys etc. Thank you for all of your help. Matt

Thommo, Thank you for your quick response and your help. I don't suppose anyone could possibly help with a UK version of the firmware? I am unsure what filename the UK version would be so unfortunately I'm unable to search the web for this.

Downgrade Z3 compact (and others) from Lollipop to KitKat

Does anyone know of a method to downgrade it to 4.4.4? I don't like Lollipop.
Thanks.

You can either check XDA for a firmware or make your own for manual flashing
Guide to create your own generic .ftf firmware file for your country
The Flashtool link in that guide is old so use the new one here
Follow this guide to manually flash but use the .ftf you created above and not the one listed - Everything else is the same for all Xperia devices

Downgrading from Lollipop to KitKat?

Are there any steps to downgrade from Lollipop to KitKat? Not trying to be a pain here, but Lollipop needs some work, and i would rather downgrade to kitkat instead of waiting to get lollipop 5.1 update? Just having several issues (battery problems, contact app crashing randomly, bluetooth connection problems, wipe cache partition has already been done)
Any thoughts, suggestions on how to do this without rooting my phone?

Battery Problem with Sony Xperia Z1 Compact

I have a very uncomfortable problem with my Z1C. Each time I use apps too long time (5 minutes), my telephone is off because of poor battery. I don't know if the problem comes from the battery or from the new version of Lollipop. By the way, I have allready reinitialised my telephone and uninstall all my games but nothing has changed. For exemple, if I launch a video on you tube or if I use the screen mirror with mty TV, the telephone is switch off quickly and if I charge it, the battery comes back to 100% very quick ! This problem is very important since I use the last version of Lollipop. It's very uncomfortable and I am seriously thinking of changing of telephone if I can't solve this problem soon...

I'd suggest that you do a PC Companion phone repair, this will do a clean installation of the latest firmware and will also wipe your internal memory.
Open PC companion -> Support zone -> Phone/tablet software update -> Repair my phone/tablet (blue link style). Follow the steps given, do not connect your phone until prompted to press volume down while plugging USB cable.

Does E4200 support Sony Remote play?

I have a Sony Vita , PS3, & Cisco ASA 5505 firewall. I can get remote play to work only if the PS3 is powered on. The ASA will kill any Wake-on LAN packet no matter what I do to try to allow it. Apparently it doesn't support directed broadcast.
Has anyone gotten Remote Play to worth with Wake-on LAN through an E4200 or E4200v2 (not sure which one I need)?
Thanks

Well, some of the user claims that WOL can be resolved. So here is the link: http://homecommunity.cisco.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/E4200-Port-forward-to-broadcast-for-WOL/td-p/3720...
So, please follow the steps mentioned in the above link and see it that helps for you…

Sony S Tablet not found in Flash Builder 4.6

Hi,
i tried to debug an AIR app on a new Sony S Tablet, but the latest Flash Builder 4.6 didnt see the device.
I setup the device in USB debugging mode and iam using an OSX OS with Lion 10.7.
Anyone has an idea?
Gary

DONE!!!
OK. I followed the instructions on this page:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/mobileapps/WSa8161994b114d624-33657d5912b7ab2d73b-7fdf.ht ml#WSa8161994b114d624-33657d5912b7ab2d73b-7fdc
Especially this part:
Important: If Windows is still unable to recognize your device, you need to install the appropriate USB driver from your device manufacturer. See OEM USB drivers for links to the websites of several device manufacturers from where you can download the appropriate USB driver for your device.
Which took me to:
http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html
That means that:
You have to install the USB driver for connecting the tablet. As Sony didn't release it, you have to use the generic Android USB driver. Follow the instructions to do so, then restart the computer, and voilà.
Hope that helps

My Experience with Sony Xperia Tablet S (so far)

For the Sony Xperia Tablet S, the bootloader is still locked, so getting an official install of Android is still impossible. I've decided to root it and clean it up as much as possible. At this point, It's either that or take it skeet shooting.
After rooting the tablet, I have managed to clean some of the junkware up manually. It's not the solution to the problem (only Sony or a judge can right their wrong), but getting rid of this junk seemed to help to some extent. Here is a list of all the apks that I manually deleted (season to taste).
Obvious disclaimer, here: If you brick your device, it's your fault and not mine. One thing that you COULD do though, is encourage Sony to up their morals and do the right thing by giving us the capability of unlocking our bootloaders. Selling people locked down hardware without the ability to unlock it is like selling someone a house and then telling them after the fact that they cannot clean the junk out of it, or modify it, or paint it, or fix the plumming, or replace the carpet, or even use the front door... I think you get the idea. It's a morally corrupt thing to do, IMO, and I think that Sony should be ashamed of themselves for locking us out of our own property.
I'm not nearly finished cleaning the tablet up yet (I'm going to take a break and get some reading in, but will focus on the system files next). At a minimum, this list can serve as a big chunk of useless fat that people can lipo out of their tablets if they so desire.

There are probably a few files that I removed and did not mention, but there won't be many. I didin't actually start keeping a log of the removals until later in the game, although I recorded as much as I could from my terminal buffer to make the list as complete as possible.
Obviously, if you're going to delete files, I strongly suggest that you keep a log AND make sure you have multiple types of backups (and backups to those backups). I actually had to rely on my backups on multiple occasions while coming up with this list. Again (as in "service not rendered"), we need our bootloaders unlocked so we can actually own the hardware that we have purchased.
Launcher and keyboard:
======================
The launcher and keyboard that come with the Xperia Tab S ******. On my system, I have replaced them both with the Nova Launcher and the Hacker's Keyboard, resulting in much (much, Much) better functionality and useability! And once those defaults were set, I removed the launcher and keyboard that came with the tablet as well.
Boot Animation:
===============
As far as the boot animation is concerned, that's easily changed as well. Nothing new here (Google it):
# find -type f -name bootanimation.zip -exec ls {} \; -exec ls -la {} \;
./system/media/bootanimation.zip
-rw-r--r-- root     root       242855 2013-05-19 02:44 bootanimation.zip
Something I need to figure out for my next steps:
=================================================
Can I simply build a stock Android system, take stock apks from that build and put it on the Xperia (replace) without any issues?
Can I swap them out whole-sale, or are there any caveats in regards to how far can I go with that?
Any advice of how to further improve this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

These are the issues as I see it:
The Software:
Initially, when I complained about not being able to remove unwanted software, this is what I got:
* "You can disable it in the settings and you won't see the icons."
* "You can root the device and remove the unwanted software, but if you do, then we won't honor the warranty"
We'll look at the logic of these, but first, let's inject a simple analogy -- something I think most people will be able to relate to with ease. Let's say that I buy a house, and I like the house a lot, but there is a toilet in the middle of the living room (I like social stuff that much ). So after I purchase the house, I find out that I cannot remove the toilet in the living room because I don't have the "special tools" to do it. In addition, this toilet has a bit of a valve problem, and it runs constantly.
The first supposed solution was "You can disable it in the settings and you won't see the icons." That's like saying "throw a sheet over it." In this case, disabling it doesn't even mean turning off the water. There's still pipework being used, because cache supporting those apps still keep coming back. So the toilet keeps running, and it gets to the point that it annoys the ****** out of me. Throwing a sheet over the toilet does not fix the problem, nor does it remove the offense from my living room. Not only is this NOT a solution, it's a horrible idea!
The second supposed solution was "You can root the device and remove the offending software, but if you do, then we won't honor the warranty." I'm not big on warranties, and over the years I've discovered that most companies give me so much hassle and additional cost over getting something replaced or repaired, that I'm better off getting another product (usually from another vendor). I personally wouldn't expect Sony to be any different in that regard. That said, I don't care about warranties. Furthermore I don't expect Sony to truly honor a warranty any more than I would expect a previous owner of my house to fix my leaking roof.
In my house, I don't want toilets in my living room. I realize that there may be a lot of people out there who might find this to be of great use and value, but for me, it is offensive just knowing that it is there. More offensive to me, is that I'm told I can not (or even "should not") remove it. But even worse is, "throw a sheet over it." To me, that's right up there with "We don't care so shut up."
So, left with no other choice, I rooted the tablet and took the (most obvious) toilets out of the places where I felt that they did not belong. I don't expect help or tech support from Sony, either and if "throw a sheet over it" is any indication of the help that I might get, then trust me when I say that I don't WANT any help from them.
But that's not even the crux of my frustrations with this whole thing. It's just a side-show.
The Hardware:
Lets get something straight - When I buy a piece of property (whether it be a computer, a motor vehicle or a house), I expect to be able to enter that property in any way that suits me (and the way by which entry was intended is no exception by anyone's reasonable expectation). Furthermore, if that piece of property has the ability to be locked, I fully expect to have the relevant keys, so that I might lock and unlock it on my own and at my own discretion.
With this tablet that I have bought, and therefore I own, I expect to be able to use the front door (the boot loader). It is my property, I hold the bill of sale (the "deed"), and I cannot see how Sony has any moral, ethical, or legal standing to withhold those keys from me, thereby preventing me from entering my own property in a forthright manner.
So far, I've read the following excuses on this forum:
"We do it for your security"
As in "Sony is my savior?" Hmm. Does this mean that if a Sony customer has an unrooted and locked-by-Sony Xperia Tablet S that gets hacked, and their bank account goes dry and their identity is stolen as a result, that Sony will take the responsibility for it, reimburse that customer, and pay any costs to get that persons identity cleared? Of course not. The term "Responsibility" is a two-edged sword, and it cuts both ways. As such, this excuse of taking responsibility of my security reads more like this: "For your security, we will control your house, but if you get compromised, you're stuck holding the bag, because we're not responsible." If that doesn't defy logic, then I don't know what does! This isn't an excuse for security. Instead, it's a lame excuse for control, which provides no safety net. I personally don't want someone who will not be responsible, taking on the role of being responsible for my security. I would much rather be responsible for my own security, thank you very much.
CAVEAT: I do understand that there are people out there who have no concept of security whatsoever and who do really dumb things, so the use of a snake-oil security solution can be beneficial (perhaps to the extent that it will "keep the honest people honest"), but my point is that it's still snake-oil, and it's benefits are far too limited for my taste.
So no, I don't want Sony's snake-oil security solution. I want what is rightfully mine. I want to hold the keys to the device that I have purchased. I want the ability to lock and unlock my own front door at my own discretion, and if possible I want to change the key set so that once I take control of my own device, Sony can't unlock that door while I'm not home. (there's an interesting idea, eh? ).
The other reason I've now heard is that "We do it to protect our proprietary software"
I would love to have a link or a scan of any document from Sony that actually states this.
If that is truly their position, then my response would then be, "Does this mean you do it so that I can't get rid of those toilets in my living room? I won't want them in my living room, I don't want them in my bedroom, I don't want them in my kitchen, on my front porch, or in my den. I don't want your software in my house, and being that this is MY house (as in "I hold the deed"), I'm ordering you not only to get the ****** out, but give me MY keys to MY front door! This house is under renovation!
On getting a refund:
If getting a refund is what Zero wanted, then congratulations to him. If a refund is what you want, then good luck. Do you think Sony will reimburse you for the time you've wasted with it as well? Just a thought.
I'm personally not interested in a refund. I simply want what is rightfully mine.
In fact, if this doesn't get resolved (or the tablet bricks in the process) maybe I'll take it skeet shooting and upload the video. It will at least be entertaining, and the upside to it would be that it couldn't be refurbished and imposed on yet another vict... er... I mean customer.
Final thoughts:
In the end, if Sony will not honor their sales by actually relinquishing the ownership of the hardware that they sell to the person holding the bill of sale, then at the very LEAST, they should start placing on their products warnings labels for future potential customers, enabling them to understand what they are actually buying, and what they are actually NOT buying -- Some type of "Brooklyn-Bridge" or "Bully" Buyer-beware warning should suffice, I think. If they do not do this, then I can definitely foresee customers being forced to go before a judge in order to actually take ownership of the property that they have purchased -- and that CAN'T be good for business. (Just sayin')

Play store not installed on z2 tablet purchased from Sony China.

Purchased Xperia Z2 tablet in china and there's no play store installed. Unable to return it. Tablet is of little use to me without play store. I would appreciate any help getting play store installed.

The China version has a restriction when it comes to Google and the Play store - You could if you know the exact model version download and manually flash another countries firmware to aquire these features

Hi there, I've seen a lot of posts like this but still I havent been able to find anyone helping me so I'm trying a new post instead. I've been using Remote Play on my Xperia Z4 tablet playing my PS4 games when I'm out of the house and it sort of works like it should.I get dicsonnected every 5-10 min. and it's really a pain in the butt. I have tried to go WIFI and cable with the console and still the same happens. Router is set for 2.4 Ghz and only thing connected to it while trying to fix this is my PS4 console. And space between console and router is 2 feet.I have no problem connecting to my console using remote but staying connected is a pain. I've googled router settings and changed what i could and again tested both using WIFI and cable and sadly same results. Iven get disconnected a lot when I'm trying at home with both console and tablet and same thing happens as when I'm doing this outside my home.I dont know why but when i turn off the controller it works perfectly which i find wierd. So is it my tablet thats the problem or perhaps controller. I've testet with 3 controllers though and it still acts up

That's quite odd, it could be a router issue.
