Sony Xperia 5 AOSP

Hello all, excuse my bad English.
I have a phone Sony Xperia 5 (J9210), and I would like to install Android 10 AOSP into it (pure android without bloatware from Sony .etc)
I found this official guide:
Code:
https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/unlock-bootloader/how-to-unlock-bootloader
https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/guides/aosp-build-instructions/build-aosp-android-android-10-0-0
I have 4 questions:
1, How can I make a backup of a ROM if I want to go back to the original ROM?
2, If someone have experience with build ROM for SONY, are there any known problems what won't work for me, example wifi, camera, bluetooth .etc?
3, Will download Android auto-updates work? or do I have to rebuild ROM with new updates every time?
4, Will this build AOSP contain translate Czech ?
Thanks for help me

No Backups possible yet. Why do You want to Compile? Just use a AOSP GSI. Check My Threads for more Infos. Everything will work fine except for the Sony Software Features (Camera Button, Display Optimizations, Dolby). But even Stamina Mode is available on the GSIs. Welcome to the world of Treble (Exists since Android 8 btw.)

I'm sorry, I was sick so I write now.
I read a lot of information about Android AOSP GSI: https://www.xda-developers.com/android-10-custom-gsi-project-treble/
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases
system-quack-arm64-ab-vanilla.img.xz (This version should work for Sony Xperia 5)
Sony Xperia 1 and Sony Xperia 5 have the same development branch: (Kumano)
In the original tutorial https://developer.sony.com/develop/...d-aosp-android-android-10-0-0#tutorial-step-6 is that you flash these files:
Code:
fastboot flash oem SW_binaries_for_Xperia_AOSP_O_MR0_4.4_<release version>_<platform>.img
+
fastboot flash boot out/target/product/<device>/boot.img
fastboot flash vbmeta out/target/product/<device>/vbmeta.img
fastboot flash dtbo out/target/product/<device>/dtbo.img
fastboot flash recovery out/target/product/<device>/recovery.img
fastboot flash system out/target/product/<device>/system.img
fastboot flash vendor out/target/product/<device>/vendor.img
fastboot flash userdata out/target/product/<device>/userdata.img
Should I before the "fastboot" AOSP GSI (system-quack-arm64-ab-vanilla.img) also make "fastboot" oem SW_binaries_for_Xperia_AOSP..... ?
https://developer.sony.com/file/dow...-aosp-android-10-0-kernel-4-14-kumano-latest/
And where should I take the other files vbmeta, dtbo, recovery, system, vendor, userdata, or reset them in some way for AOSP GSI?

Forget the AOSP Compiling Guides and use the official Google Ones with vbmeta.img from Google and the commands comming with it here:
https://source.android.com/setup/build/gsi#flashing-gsis
EDIT:
Google AOSP with and without Google Apps (Also Android 11 Previews) which also include ready-to-flash vbmeta Images to disable verified booting:

[GUIDE] Install official Pixel Expierene ROM and Google Camera Mod 7.x

Welcome to my latest Thread. Today for the Official Pixel Expierence Builds from the Official Website. This Guide does include the Installation of a custom Recovery which allows Factory Resets and flashing Updates/ROMs. Enjoy!​
1. Download and prepare everything
First of all visit: https://developer.sony.com/file/dow...-aosp-android-10-0-kernel-4-14-kumano-latest/
And download the latest Software Binaries from Sony which You will need to flash together with the Boot Image (Kernel).
After that download the ROM File from here: https://download.pixelexperience.org/ and also download the "Recovery Image" which is a Kernel/Boot Image
Get the Magisk Manager Apk from here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk
Extract the Software Binaries to get the .img File from it.
2. Flash using Fastboot
After getting the Kernel/Boot Image do a patch with the Magisk Manager App (Your Phone doesn't needs to be rooted for that) (The Output File will get called magisk_patched,img from now)
Flash the Software Binaries from SONY with:
Code:
fastboot flash oem_a SW_binaries_for_Xperia_Android...............img
Repeat that step with:
Code:
fastboot flash oem_b SW_binaries_for_Xperia_Android...............img
Now flash the Kernel You got from the Magisk Manager with:
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched.img
And repeat that again for the Second Slot:
Code:
fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched.img
3. Install using a SD Card or ADB
After flashing the Kernel. Turn Off Your Device and hold the Volume- (Lower) Button together with the Power Button until You see the SONY Logo. Release both Buttons and wait for the Recovery coming up.
Search now for the Apply Update Option and select based on Your preference the ADB or SD Card Method to flash the ROM. Connect Your Xperia to Your PC again and enter:
Code:
adb sideload filename.zip
(In case of using the ADB Method)
Your Device should now flash the selected ZIP File (In our case the Pixel Expierence ROM).
4. Profit
Wipe Your Device now using the Factory Reset of the Recovery. Install the Magisk Patched Kernel Image again using the commands of the second Step of this Guide to keep Magisk functional. Connect Your Phone to a Charger and install the latest Magisk Manager to Your Phone. That's it! Enjoy
What Works:
VoLTE
Wifi Calls
Video Calls over Carrier
Camera Button (Does not start Camera Apps)
Everything!?
Bugs:
None!?

Urnyx latest Google Camera Mod works well with this ROM now. Enjoy GCAM 7.x
Link: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1343/#google_vignette

Any takers? How is the fingerprint sensor?

Updated the Guide. FP sucks still hard... Can't use it at all here. Same as Stock for Me.

Still some delay on unlocking the Device but the battery drain is fixed with the latest October Builds. Runs flawless in daily use! Never had such a good running AOSP ROM on any Xperia after the Z Series started. Awesome!

Can someone please make a YouTube guide for the less tech savvy of us?

I'm suffering from getting device is corrupt message after flash both oem_a/b and boot_a/b.

Just flashed this but for some reason my sim is not detected and my wifi wont turn on. Would love some help. followed the steps. Everything else works fine.
EDIT: fixed it. used different install method

Badly f*d Op7Pro. Need help to revert to stock

Hi,
First of all, yes, I have checked the other threads that talk about reverting to stock and I am still stuck.
So I installed Kang OS which is Android 11, and now I want to revert to stock. I have tried downloading multiple different versions of the fastboot ROM from the page https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=294300 and run the flash all batch file and every time I am either getting stuck in a boot loop or getting the Verity Crash Dump Screen. I have managed to reach the fastboot screen, and I am waiting on the fastboot screen, for someone to show me some way.
Thanks in Advance.

If you used a pin then your storage is encrypted and the rom you are trying to flash can't use it, that's why you're most likely stuck at boot.
I ran into the same issue and posted about it in the same thread. I think we will need a new version of TWRP as 3.4.0-0 would not accept my pin which had not changed.
To fix your issue, sadly, you'll need to wipe your storage:
Boot the phone into fastboot mode
Attach your USB cable to the phone/PC
Download and unzip the file I've attached (ADB/Fastboot)
Launch an elevated command window in the folder you extracted the attached zip to
Try the command fastboot devices and ensure that it reports the device correctly, if not then you need to install the latest OnePlus drivers
Type the following in the command window : fastboot -w (This will wipe the storage)
Try your rom again (TWRP should remain as the recovery if you had flashed it already, if not then copy the latest TWRP img file to the same folder as the ADB/Fastboot tools, use fastboot and type boot twrpfilename.img this will make the phone boot into TWRP recovery, you can then copy over the TWRP zip and flash it to recovery using the booted version of TWRP)
Once you've done the above you shouldn't really need to use the fastboot scripts as the latest rom should just flash from TWRP.

Get msm download tool for guacamole which is the codename of the op7p. I know the shorts with the global version I am unsure if this works with T-Mobile or others?

MSM is a bit of a severe fix when they've already confirmed they can still get fastboot, MSM is for completely bricked phones that can't access anything. Wiping the storage and going to fastboot will allow them to just flash recovery then flash the stock rom. Way easier.

Boot into twrp. Then format data. Phone will boot then.

Android 11 Open beta Stuck on Fastboot Mode While Rooting

Hi Everyone
I was rooting My op7 pro after updating to open beta android 11. While i was booting twrp it shows Fastboot Mode screen And stuck on that
Hope i ll find possible solution from the community
Regards
ali_hamza

I went through something similar. I'm reading that TWRP does not support Android 11 yet, so I think we have to do without it for now.
Steps I took:
Disconnect any USB
Hold down vol up, vol down, and power until screen goes black
Do this again until you actually get to normal fastboot mode
Connect to your PC
On your PC if you haven't already, download and install adb/fastboot tools, python, and the payload dumper tool - see Extract Android OTA Payload.bin File using Payload Dumper Tool (thecustomdroid.com)
On your PC, download the ROM zip of the Android 11 beta for OnePlus 7 Pro from the OnePlus forums
Open the Zip and extract the payload.bin file
Follow the instructions above to extract boot.img from payload
Open an admin command prompt and cd to a folder where you have adb/fastboot and this boot.img file
To make sure your phone is properly connected to your PC with correct drivers etc, run fastboot devices
Run fastboot flash boot boot.img
Run fastboot reboot
This got me back into an unrooted Android 11 system. My recovery is messed. I think there's a way to directly patch the boot.img file with Magisk and flash that. Will need to work on getting TWRP back if/when someone figures that out (or when it is supported)
Once you're unrooted and running on the Android 11 beta:
connect to your PC
tell Android to go into file transfer mode
take boot.img file from above instructions and copy it to the root of your phone storage
open the Magisk Manager app, click to install Magisk, and then choose Patch boot image
resulting patched boot image file will be saved to your phone's Downloads folder
back on the PC, pull this patched boot img file back onto your PC and into your fastboot folder
reboot phone into fastboot mode (using volup+voldn+power)
Run fastboot flash boot magisk_patched_?????.img (your file will have a unique name)
Run fastboot reboot
Now you're rooted.

You should just be able to run direct install after you boot to A11 with the patched boot image.

Some of us will have followed a standard Oxygen OS beta update flash cycle of:
Download the beta update
Reboot to recovery (TWRP)
Flash update, wipe dalvik
Flash TWRP installer to patch new boot image
Reboot to recovery (from recovery, to get A/B slot switched)
Flash Magisk to patch boot image for root
Reboot to system
I bricked at step 5 because TWRP installer didn't play nice with the new Android 11 boot image. Even when I flashed the latest unofficial TWRP from fastboot, the best I could get was a TWRP that couldn't decrypt filesystem... and after that, a bootloop that just flashed the TWRP load screen briefly every second, between black screens.
I'm super appreciative of OnePlus for having such a reliable way to get back to fastboot no matter what. I take it that when I extracted the OP stock boot image from beta and flashed it in fastboot, I also overwrote TWRP with stock recovery? It no longer seems like recovery is a separate partition to be flashed - nothing from the payload file seemed to be it.

Wait... you don't mean "direct install" of TWRP, do you? Is there a version that supports Android 11 filesystem decryption? Wouldn't that also get rid of root? What is it that you think should be directly installed after successful boot of Android 11 with Magisk patched boot image?

No, direct install of magisk. Check the twrp thread in the rom and development section. There is already a patched boot image and instructions on rooting. Twrp isnt working yet as far as I know.

Got it. Yeah my Magisk Manager was still installed from previous beta, but it took away the "direct install" option when I lost root from flashing the unpatched boot.img. Personally I would always rather patch my own boot.img file than rely on something from a filesharing service, especially when trying to get out of brick...
But I can see how until proper TWRP support comes, we can just use Magisk to patch alternate boot slot before rebooting but immediately after flashing the latest OOS beta using the regular system update process. Hindsight...

Yeah I did, and I could not find any evidence that it supports the new Android 11 filesystem encryption.
Changelog suggests much of the core functionality is ported from TWRP - that OrangeFox is more or less a fork with extra functions and a better interface.
The reason users of both TWRP and OrangeFox have been able to use custom Android 11 ROMs is that those roms are kind of a Frankenstein - they're based on Android 10 AOSP with Project Treble packages from Android 11. OOS 11 beta seems to have different partition architecture?
I think we need to wait until somebody reports their actual experience with OOS 11 beta on a custom recovery.

Yesterday i download and tried to flash Pitch Black Recovery Project but results were same.
I think there should be some changes regarding A11 in any recovery so the best is that we should wait for their( Devs) further response

Check out this (now locked) thread though: it seems like there's no working port of OrangeFox for guacamole that supports OOS11 yet... lots of people bricking and boot-looping on the hope that there might have been!

How To Guide [ALL IN ONE] How to Unlock/Lock Bootloader & Root/Unroot Nord 2T

Hello everyone hope you are all keeping well.
Here is a little guide on how to Unlock/Lock the Bootloader and Root/Unroot our Nord2T.
I cannot be responsible if you brick your device. Your phone, your choices, your responsibility!​
Unlock The Bootloader;​
If you haven't done it already...beware that this will erase all of your user data. To do so, you must:
Enable developer options
Enable the "OEM unlocking" option
Enable USB debugging
Have both adb and fastboot, from SDK Platform Tools available on your PC
Connect your phone to your PC using the USB cable and run the following commands:
Code:
adb devices
(just to make sure that your phone is, in fact, recognized by your PC and that you're able to run adb commands)
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
(so your phone will reboot into fastboot mode)
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
(device should now unlock)
Code:
fastboot reboot
(device reboots with an unlocked bootloader and data partition wiped so set up the device from scratch again)
Rooting Guide;​
Unlocking the Bootloader is necessary before continuing
1 - Download Nord2T stock boot.img that you may find later on this post, that matches your current build.
Copy the boot.img to your devices internal memory
Leave a copy of it on your PC (on the same folder you have adb and fastboot...you never know if you will need to use it again in the future...to restore the stock boot.img, aka revert to stock...)
Spoiler: Global Build boot.img's
Stock boot CPH2399_11_A.07 (did not extract it and can't find the firmware file to be able to download and extract, if someone could please upload a link to it on this thread I would sincerely appreciate it)
Stock Boot CPH2399_11_A.09
Stock Boot CPH2399_11_A.11

Stock Boot CPH2401_11_C.24
Stock Boot CPH2401_11_C.26
Stock Boot CPH2401_11_C.27
2 - Download latest Magisk Manager from HERE and install it on your phone
3 - Open Magisk Manager App and press:
Install
Select and Patch a File
Browse to the path where you saved stock boot.img and select it
Magisk Manager will now patch the boot image and store it in [Internal Storage]/Download/magisk_patched.img
4 - Copy the patched boot image from your device to your PC (Store it on the same folder where you have adb and fastboot)
5 - Flash the patched boot image to your phone by running these commands (remember, you must have patched boot image on the same folder you have adb and fastboot and, of course, your device must be connected to your PC...)
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
​
Code:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
​
Code:
fastboot reboot
​6 - After the phone boots up, hopefully with a normal boot (almost feels like nothing happened....), install/open Magisk Manager App again and watch Magisk doing it's magic!
7 - Enjoy!
All credits goes to topjohnwu and his incredible work with Magisk.
System Updates;​
For system updates. Just apply the OTA update as normal.
Once updated you will have no root and you must follow steps above again with the new boot.img that corresponds to the firmware version you are on.
Unroot;​
To unroot simply flash the stock boot.img.
Relock Bootloader;​
If you have TWRP installed flash the stock boot.img (same as your firmware version from earlier in this post)
This is so as you can access fastboot properly.
1 - To relock Bootloader first download Oxygen Updater app from the Playstore.
2 - Download the firmware which corresponds to the firmware which you have currently installed.
3 - Move/copy this firmware.zip to your PC and extract it. (inside you will see a folder and a couple files. The only file we need is payload.bin)
4 - Download/install Fastboot Enhance on your PC
5 - Reboot phone to bootloader mode so it gets detected by Fastboot Enhance, from there boot to fatsbootd.
6 - Flash payload.bin in Fastboot Enhance
7 - Wipe data in fastbootd from your Nord 2T, reboot and finish phone setup.
8 - Enable developer options, enable USB debugging from developer options.
9 - Reboot to bootloader and run the command;
Code:
fastboot flashing lock
The device will be now successfully locked.
Hope this helps out

Thank you so much

Thanks so much. Going to try this weekend with my daughter phone.

Thanks a lot!
There is a new update available for Nord 2T:
CPH2399_11_A.11
Do you have the stock boot.img for this version by any chance?

I was wondering... How can I extract the boot.img by myself without relying upon anyone? With the oxygen updater app I've the full firmware (~4 GB), would that be useful to extract the boot.img?

By using THIS software. I will always update this thread with the latest boot.img files in the future but this is the software I used

Thank you.
And what is the procedure to OTA update, once we have magisk_patched_boot.img installed.
OTA won't install, so need to revert somehow install new update and root again?

garylawwd this device is prone to bricking if you patch the inactive slot after an OTA within the Magisk app as I experienced first hand. I have never had such issues with my Redmi K40 Gaming despite their similarity with the MediaTek processor. After an OTA I would simply patch the inactive slot, reboot and enjoy permanent root.. topjohnwu made rooting simple for us...

Stock Global boot CPH2399_11_A.11 added to OP. Sorry for the delay, only received the update today

Ya I didnt do it this way at all because my device updated while i was asleep and i was unrooted, so I had to patch the new boot using the method in the OP.
I would definitely advise restoring the stock boot.img before proceeding with an update, then install the update normally and just patch the new image with magisk and then flash.
For a while the 'install to inactive slot' option only works on certain devices, the Nord 2T obviously is'nt one of those devices.
I'm sure the magisk documentation recommends restoring stock images before an update.

Thanks for the Stock Boot CPH2399_11_A.11, could you please also link the related img patched?
On my first Nord I have always updated with the patched boot img on it without problem, but I was on old Oxigen OS 11, not the 12 Oxigen (color) os...

I didn't want to share any of the magisk images because there is a new version of magisk every other week and people may like to be on the beta branch or canary branch of magisk or whatever.
It's very easy to patch the image though. Just download magisk.apk and use it to patch the boot.img's I've provided above. Then move the patched.img to your pc and flash.
But anyways here is the magisk patched.img for CPH2399_11_A.11 using magisk 25.2 stable
