        @yamanobe Are you absolutely sure that no error message? My device is stuck in a loop. You can hardly see it, because the message only lasts about 0.2 seconds. Possibly go into a dark room to see this message.
        To see und read this I used a camera and recorded it.

        E:failed to mount/cache (Ivalid argument)
        E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_locale
        

        Thus, unfortunately, I can't fall back on Android either. In any case, I have not yet found out how I would have to proceed to do this.

          Boot with Power Button + Volume Down pushed into Fast Boot and then Flash the Stock Android ROM with the Tools that Sony provides for your Tablet ?!

          My phones :

          • BQ Aquaris E5 HD Ubuntu Phone Edition - Ubuntu Touch 16.04 LTS
          • ZUK Z2 Pro - ZUI Android 8.x
          • Xiaomi Mi 9T - Jolla SailFish 3.4.x Community Build

          P.S. : I am NOT a developer! ;)

            Today, I also got SGP771 and installed ubuntutouch!
            As a result, I get the exact same error as you and it stops at the "adb is scanning fordevices" screen.
            I think this is a bug, since both you and I have the same symptoms.
            You need to report this somewhere and ask for support!

              Please be specific :

              • Did you succeed in running Ubuntu Touch on it or not ?!
              • How did you try to install it ?
              • What software did you use ?

              For example : If you used the latest Ubuntu Touch Installer then it might be a good idea to try a older version, because there were some posts about the most recent version not beeing Stable enough!

              Also : Maybe try to run/start ADB before you start with the process to see what is going on ?? ๐Ÿ™‚

                @nero355 ใ€€Thanks
                The installation of ubuntu touch failed.
                I used ubports-installer_0.8.9-beta_win_x64.exe
                I used Flashtool because xperia can be unlocked by using Flashtool software.
                I used Flashtool because xperia can be unlocked using Flashtool software. o Developer mode of tablet is ON. o OEM unlock and USB debugging are ON.
                Is ubports-installer_0.8.9-beta too new? Is ubports-installer_0.8.9-beta newer or should it be older?
                Is the run/start ADB the result of running in power shel?

                Do I need to install TWRP on the tablet before running ubports by any chance?

                  Sounds good! ๐Ÿ™‚

                  I just have no idea what Flashtool is : Sony specific tool ?

                  Is ubports-installer_0.8.9-beta too new? Is ubports-installer_0.8.9-beta newer or should it be older?

                  Please just try going back one or two versions and if that doesn't work perhaps a couple of versions more, because there were some issues mentioned with the latest version ๐Ÿ˜‰

                  Is the run/start ADB the result of running in power shell?

                  Don't know about Power Shell in Windows to be honest...

                  I only use these two for ADB commands :

                  • Command Prompt in Windows 7
                  • Terminal & Bash in Kubuntu 20.04 LTS

                  Do I need to install TWRP on the tablet before running ubports by any chance?

                  As far as I know you don't need to, because Ubuntu Touch will flash it's own Recovery version! ๐Ÿ™‚

                    Were you able to successfully launch the edl-mode?

                        Hi @aiwo
                        This is an old post and the OP is inactive for more than 6 months.
                        If you have this issue you might want to consider creating a new post instead.

                            Glad to see it and thanks for the help so far.

                            I was referring to yamanobe, the original poster that may or may not have fixed their issue.
