      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 ?? πŸ™‚

            @nero355 γ€€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! πŸ™‚

              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 πŸ˜‰

              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! πŸ™‚

                    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.
