Sony Tab Z - Triangle and Wrench Screen

[I.am.Sam]

Hello all

So my tab did the update over wifi but then when it was done I couldn't turn the WiFi on.

So i tried doing a repair through PC companion.

Now the tab starts up with the sony logo and gets a triangle with a wrench logo

one site says i should leave it cause the blue bar means its doing something

What do i do ?

Its similar to this pic

Are you fine with formating the phone?

The Tab Z shouldn't update over the air? It keeps nagging me to plug it in. Also it's a 1.2 gig update so it's probably going to take awhile

yeah its a tab and doesnt have data that i need

i did make a back up before it updated

i installed flash tool now and trying to find a stock rom ...or a way to flash it back to before

it did the update OTA

the last time it wanted me to plug in

this time it didnt and after lollipop was done my wifi never worked ...so i tried a repair via PC companion and thats when it went crazy

Oh dear.

I had an update go south on me like that (an Acer Tab) - fortunately it was so old that I didn't care - it never recovered.

Never do updates without having the TAB plugged in to power, ever.

Good luck - I hope you come right.

PS: Have you gone to have a look at what the guys at http://forum.xda-developers.com/ have to say

yeah i have

problem is i cant find a rom thats available

and also now i tried the PC companion but the tab is dead and the red light is not going away so dont think its charging

cause i had it overnight on charge and this morning it went dead quickly

will wait for it die again completely and charge it overnight
