Hi,
first post on this forum -> hope this is the right section, sorry if it isn't.
So I'm here because I have a problem regarding the building process of AOSP for the sony XA2
I'm following those steps : developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/guides/aosp-build-instructions/build-aosp-nougat-8-1-oreo-4-4
(adding https for opening)
The problem appears on step 4, part 4 : I do not have the repo_update.sh
So first question very simple, does anyone has it ? what am I missing.
Although I'm not especially new to development, I found it on the repo (don't know why it does not come still -> I suppose it's not in the manifest, yet why is it suppose to be in the tutorial ?)
The next question are regarding my newbie state in android development / flashing / OS
Cause next I would need to flash the boot.img vendor etc . . . I did not find nowhere the explanation of where to find those and I'm kind of frustrated of finding absolutely nothing EXPLICIT on the matter.
So could someone point me to a newbie tutorial / explanation please ? or directly explain it to me if it's not too long.
For the record, I understood what those images are, I just don't know where to find them.
ok It's more a general confusion due to the fact that I'm new to Android than anything else still, I need answers
Thank you for your responses in advance.

I don't have this device and I've never personally built a ROM before but, you should be able to obtain some member guidance within one of the following threads.

Ok truth is, I think something is wrong with my system, I have a linux 17 maybe it's not the right one to do this, I tried with a 'normal' 16.04, I went further, have other problems, but I'm finding solutions on the forums.
Precisely in the links you gave me so thanks for answering the questions that I did not have time to ask ^^
Thank you for your help, have a nice day.

Why can people not READ!!!!! This is a QUESTION - don't post it in the DEVELOPMENT forums That's why we have a Q&A forum.
Is it really that difficult for people to understand the basics? Also, learn to search. The question you have asked has been answered too many times to count - so please, go and read the stickies, use the search function and then you will, hopefully, understand what you need to do without us having to repeat what has been said many, many times before.
This is the kind of response that I did not expected to receive. If u know the basics, and if u are very good at this, help others too do not try to give them ethics lessons.

Read the rules of XDA. First Rule;-
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.

I pointed out to you that you posted in the wrong place - Dev forum is for DEVELOPMENT work, not for people to ask questions.
I also pointed out that you should search first. Believe me, your exact question has been answered before - you are not the first person to ask this.
There is no point simply telling you the answers because then you won't understand what, why or where and if something goes wrong you will be lost. Much better to read, learn and understand exactly what you are doing and why.
Actually, simonTS is right.
Don't expect help, when you are incompliant to read forum rules.
This section is dedicated to custom roms etc.
Check other forums sections. There is plenty of stuff about downgradeing.

Just repect forum rules, post your questions in Q&A and you'll have expecting answers.
Try search by yourself, you probably find what you need :silly:
Just too slow !
Ok. Thanks. I have posted to the Q&A forum. Please delete this one.
So even after being scolded for not being bothered to search & find the solution yourself you still just post the question & expect others to get you out of the hole you yourself got you into! Man up, learn to read & fix it yourself!

Ok, maybe I've posted on the wrong section, but regarding the device, there isn't a Pocket 2 forum section here, so I posted on the most similar I've found. Is that really a good reason to make a report?
I read the rules once, but it was a long time ago and I don't remember where it says "report a user when he posts a thread of the device X on device Y section if the device X section doesn't exist".
Anyway, thanks for reporting me and I still need help and about this thread, I will wait the moderators tell me if I am wrong or not.
If I am wrong, I hope they point me where to post the thread (or move this one).

I don't want to be mean but posting a question on the development selection is not allowed.
Anyway, I make a research and there is no way to root your device (yet!!!).
You can try Kingo root

I've tried that already.
Like I said, I guess I've made a mistake by creating on this section, but I think I can't delete a thread (can I?).
About "a way to root", I don't know any yet, but I'm hoping there is, that's why I've created a thread (after a lot of searching).
First of all, thanks for moving the thread.
I still need help. Does anyone knows a way to root this device?
This thread was open and closed on Feb 13th, but I think I may have found an answer.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gen...10-rooting-t3029612/post58816724#post58816724
The phone in the description seems like it's the same phone, so I believe this method will work. I'm considering on buying one if someone could test it out. They're on sale for $39 right now. Even if not getting root isn't possible, it still seems like it's a good deal. Here's the instructions.

So I've rooted this device several times and only once.... have I gotten the wifi to stay on.
But I decided to turn off the device and after that next reboot, the wifi was no longer allowing me to connect.
Attempting to turn on the wifi will freeze the device. I have no idea why it's doing this nor how I got the wifi to stay on previously.
Has anyone found a solution to this problem?
I have successfully rooted many devices and this is the only device that has given me this much stress.
I do not want to go back to stock again, KNOX over heats the tablet and Samsung devices are known to have
heavy bloatware. I just want this device running on wifi and block the mobile data option but that requires root.
N O T E : >>>>>> Any form moderator reading this please... please ...PLEASE DO NOT re-direct me to a form
that has not given a specific answer to this problem nor close this discussion, This issue needs a solution. I can not stress the importance on this request. Any time I ask a question generally I get re-directed to another post with in the vicinity of nowhere near the request and only to go back to square one. I just really need this issue resolved as soon as possible.
I have already search on this form
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/general/root-sm-t237p-t2849224/page2
as well as this one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/development/rom-sm-t237p-rooted-odexed-2015-04-11-t3079083
and still no solution was found.
Again please DO NOT re-direct me nor close this post.
-Thank you for your time.

Hi there,
First of all I think you need to read our sticky threads about the purpose of this XDA Assist Forum. Take a look bellow with highlighted words:
The mission of XDA Assist is to provide basic help to those who have tried searching but can't find what they are looking for and need assistance. This is not a "helpdesk" providing technical assistance but more to point you in the correct direction with your problem. Perhaps you can't find posts on how to root your phone, install custom recovery or maybe you have questions about how to navigate and use features on the site.
Our XDA Assist team will give you links to threads/forums that are relevant to your problem. You may be pointed towards guides and instructions that can be quite complex, so you will still need to read carefully and be cautious before attempting to make software changes to your device. It is essential you are in the correct forum for your device model; what works for one can ruin another.

Now, reading that i'm sure you understand that the best place for your question is just in the device specific forum from here:
Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Thank you for understanding,
Good luck
Hello Forum members,
___
So this is my first ever thread, forgive me if I make any mistakes.
About last month or so, I purchased a Sony Xperia Z5, E6653 Android 7.1 device, mainly with the intent to root it for the sake of some app development, and also for the fact I wanted to experiment a little before I concluded as to whether It was worth rooting my Pixel 2XL.
Whilst I may not be new to Android, I am relatively new to rooting an android device, having only just got my laptop working again.
___
So I went through the TWRP recovery files, flashed the system image and whatnot, and then I got to the stage that requires you to unlock the bootloader. To my dismay, nothing I did would make it unlock.
This is mainly down to my own stupidity, assuming that unlocking in developer options would make it accessible, as it has done on various other devices.
I later went through the system information (dialling the number in telephone) and found that my Bootloader is locked.
Obviously, the bootloader is there, and surely there is a way to access it.
I haven't personally contacted Sony yet, I had planned to come here first.
As this particular device was bought primeraly to root, wiping save data etc is not a massive issue for me, plus I am willing to try literally everything.
___
I don't know if anyone here would have an answer, and I highly doubt Sony will be of assistance either.
My thanks for reading this far through the thread, and any help is appreciated
Cheers!

I don't have this device but, I believe that one of the following threads should be helpful for what you are looking to do that's specific to your device. Don't be afraid to ask for some member guidance within one of them too.
