        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™‚

            My phones :

            • BQ Aquaris E5 HD Ubuntu Phone Edition - Ubuntu Touch 16.04 LTS
            • ZUK Z2 Pro - ZUI Android 8.x

              @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.
