AOSP Android 11.0 – Kernel 4.14 – Yoshino

[Dfis]

Hello
How can I flash SW_BINARIES_FOR_XPERIA_ANDROID_11_4.14_V9A_YOSHINO.ZIP over the stock version?

Software binaries for AOSP Android 11.0 – Kernel 4.14 – Yoshino (latest) | Developer World

developer.sony.com

Tried to understand the official manual from here but can't understand where can I get the rest of the img files (boot, system...) - https://developer.sony.com/develop/...-aosp-android-android-11-0-0/#tutorial-step-8

You don't want to combine the AOSP binaries and stock. Those files are meant for pure AOSP builds that don't use the Sony vendor files. Most recent XZ1c ROMs start from stock, so would break if you changed to OEM files.

So if you were doing another ROM, you could go into fastboot and flash this partition and any others from the ROM, or maybe do some of the others from recovery. (e.g. some ROMs might come with their own rather than TWRP.)

Perhaps better question is to ask what you're trying to do with them here.

Hey @tonsofquestions ! I just want to upgrade to Android 11 And I assume it's not LineageOS (Which already tried but wants another OS to try)

It depends on the ROM, not the Android version. The Lineage 18.1 ROM is Android 11, and is based on stock.
Compare that to something like this one https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/g8441-xz1c-lilac-aospextendedrom-oreo.3859656/ which says it's AOSP, and has a step in the instructions to download and install the OEM files.

I also don't think there are many non-Lineage ROMs for 11. Maybe Havoc, but that's still stock-based. Which specific ROM do you want to try?

Want to flash this Android 11 img, and not quite know how....

Probably by following the instructions in the thread.
But if you don't include a link to the image, it's impossible to be any more specific.
