Would somebody be willing to point me to where stock android 10 for the 5 ii can be downloaded? That's a prerequisite to this guide. I'm having trouble finding anything that I feel I could trust (undoubtedly I simply don't know where to look). Thanks very much in advance.

I haven't used this in a couple of years so I'm not sure if it supports this Xperia model, but you can give it a shot: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/tool-xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-v5-4-0.2834142/

Thanks! That seems to be the best option.
I'm having issues getting those images flashed, but the issues are with the Newflasher program and not with the firmware images (I believe).
I've made a thread about it:
forum.xda-developers.com

Issues getting Stock Android 10 installed (problems with Newflasher)

EDIT (2/5/2021): Hmm, Newflasher just worked for me now and I'm not sure what could have changed between when I was having issues and when it worked. Other people have reported similar, transient issues with Newflasher where it works and then...

I could use some help setting up the PDX206 device tree for LOS if you've got some time.
I was able to build AOSP given the `sonyxperiadev` sources, but adapting it to LOS has been a challenge:
- If I use the entire `local_manifests` repo, I get path conflicts during the build. I've been able to eliminate duplicate repos cloning to the same path (using remove-project directives, but am still having trouble with the same modules being defined in multiple Android.bp files.)
- If I only source the device repos in a roomservice.xml manifest file, I get SOONG errors.

I've yet to get a successful LOS build for this device :(

    Yep. Dev seems to be more active over in the XPERIA 1 II sections. I'm going to see if I can get any traction porting some of their work over to our device. I'm no developer, so it's unlikely I'll get anywhere (soon, anyway).

    The OP says you should use the stock android 10 firmware as a basis, so I'd imagine thats your issue.

    Not really - the first post states that "You don`t need to upgrade to R vendor (58.1.X)", that doesn't imply that with R vendor the phone won't boot. If that's the case, then the initial quote is kinda misleading.
    In any case, I'll just try Q vendor as well and see how it goes.
