Android 4.4.2 Install Guide For Xperia Tablet Z SPG311

I am not responsible for bricked devices or dead SD cards! do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications
I Made this Guide is for SPG311 Versions of this tablet as i could not find one that worked.
Instructions:
1. Check If you can unlock your boot loader if you can continue WARNING THIS WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE!!!!
(if already unlocked goto 2)
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
2. Download the latest CWM recovery (extract boot.img from zip)
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=pollux_windy
3. Download Rom
http://dl.omnirom.org/pollux_windy/
4. Download Gapps For 4.4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2560364
5. Put tablet into Fastboot
6. Flash CWM recovery via fastboot
fastboot -i 0xfce flash boot boot.img (Boot.img is the recovery)
fastboot -i 0xfce reboot
7. Your tablet will boot into the recovery
8. Wipe EVERYTHING (System, Cache, Dalvik Cache)
9. Flash the rom & gapps
10. Reboot System
I warn users against flashing 4.4.
Browsing will be broken in all browsers because 4.4 replaces WebView with a chromium-based version.
This means:
NO double tap anymore to wrap text anew when zooming!! (WTF Google???)
Very laggy operation, e.g. when clicking links or doing pinch-to-zoom.
It is strongly advised to stay on <4.4 until Google has fixed these annoying problems if you want a pleasant browsing experience.
OMNIRom for the XTZ is quite good. However, I found that with about every other delta update (well done btw), the GApps will be wiped without warning. That's kinda very annoying unless your tablet is for goofing around with ROMs only.
Other than that I didn't find a flaw.
i'm curious why did you suggest that version of gapps compared to this one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942

Download the files required, ROM, RECOVERY, SUPERSU.
1) Goto recovery mode (obviously twrp recovery).
2) Clear (dalvic, system, data, cache) and not (internal).
3) Flash the ROM, then flash the RECOVERY by selecting "install image" and selecting "recovery".
4) Go back to main page of TWRP & Reboot and when it asks (system, recovery, fastboot), choose recovery.
Then you just wait, it will reboot back to the new TWRP (orange color).
5) Now flash the ROM once again. But before flashing, must clear cache again like in step 2.
6) Clear cache.
7) Reboot now. it takes approx 1mins and shows new bootanimation.
Now, when you get Marshmallow page, set everything up like in starting. Then
8) Flash SuperSU file via recovery to get root access.

How to install ANY CustomROM on OnePlus6T from OOS/CustomROM

So, I searched the internet for a method to flash a CustomROM on the OnePlus 6T. But somehow none of them worked, so I worked on one myself that at least works for me.
There are 2 methods, use Method A if you don't have a custom ROM installed and still use OxygenOS. Use Method B if you are using a custom ROM and want to have another one:
Method A: From OxygenOS to CustomROM
1. boot in twrp
2. in twrp, do a factory reset
3. flash latest oos zip(flashable ota, link will be below)
4. flash twrp installer zip(i recommend mauronofrio´s twrp, link wil be below)
5. check current slot, then reboot in twrp
6. check if slot changed, then do a factory reset
7. flash latest oos zip
8. flash twrp installer zip
9. reboot recovery, and check if slot changed
10. factory reset
11. flash custom rom zip
12. flash twrp installer zip
13. reboot twrp(check current slot)
14. check if slot changed(if yes:it worked, if no:repeat)
15. additional: flash magisk&gapps
then,your rom is ready to use
Method B: From Custom ROM to another Custom ROM
1. reboot to twrp
2. in twrp, do a factory reset
3. then select advanced wipe: wipe system,cache,data. DON’T WIPE VENDOR
4. flash custom rom zip
5. flash twrp installer zip
6. check which slot you´re in
7. reboot twrp
8. if slot changed, everything worked
9. flash gapps and magisk if you want
then, your rom is ready to use
So, I hope I have spared you many problems and wish you much fun with your Devices.

Some of those steps are unnecessary. Like doing a Factory Reset each time you boot to TWRP as that will mess up your Encryption. And in Method B, you mention to Wipe System. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES WIPE SYSTEM ON THE 6T. IT WILL MESS UP YOUR DEVICE. This is the method I use to flash ROMs.
1. Boot to TWRP
2. Flash the latest version of Stable OOS for your Device and latest TWRP Installer for your Device. -> Reboot to Recovery.
3. Flash the latest version of Stable OOS for your Device and latest TWRP Installer for your Device. -> Reboot to Recovery.
4. Flash ROM + TWRP ,Format Data (Go to Wipe, in the lower right corner Format Data, type in 'YES' and hit Enter) -> Reboot to System
5. After first Boot, You can Reboot to Recovery & Flash Magisk (Optional).
These are for EvolutionX that has Gapps built-in so you don't need to flash Gapps. Otherwise you can Skip the Format Data after ROM flash in Step 4, Reboot to Recovery, Flash Gapps and then Format Data. I use these and they have worked flawlessly for me. Also when switching from one AOSP based ROM to another, it's generally recommended to flash OOS Before.
