hi, this might be a stupid question, but what part of this is from the stock firmware? i mean lineage OS is a complete ROM with its own kernel system etc. what is the benefit of combining it with stock? better HW compatibility? and does this affect OTA updates?

this might be a stupid question

Not at all, good question.

what is the benefit of combining it with stock?...

Better user experience and better battery time than SODP lineageOS. Test it yourself please.

does this affect OTA updates?

If you mean stock FW update. This is LIneageOS, not stock FW, we will provide OTA once we get LineageOS official support.

what part of this is from the stock firmware?

Some stock blobs and some kernel drivers, but System is LineageOS. There is no difference with other phones.

i mean lineage OS is a complete ROM with its own kernel system etc

As above, system is LineageOS, blobs and kernel drivers are provided by Sony. This is the same as other phones supported by LineageOS.

 

[bamdadkhan]

thanks for the detailed answer. sounds really awesome. too bad i'm on mac os and it's really hard to flash the stock FW here. i'm going to try tomorrow, though. : )

 

[dreDREb13]

You're planning official certification by LineageOS down the line?

Any reason not to flash the OEM binaries, by the way? What's the recourse for fixing that and installing this if one's already flashed the SODP firmware?

 

[Sjll]

Yup.

Any reason not to flash the OEM binaries, by the way? What's the recourse for fixing that and installing this if one's already flashed the SODP firmware?

Go back to official Android 10 firmware, and boot it.

 

[bamdadkhan]

is there any way to do this without installing the whole stock firmware? i understand that you cannot distribute parts of it due to some legal crap, but if i have the extracted files from the .ftf can i just use fastboot to flash those?

i'm asking because after 2 hours of headaches (installing mono for xperifirm, flashtool not recognising my firmware files, doing the whole thing again in a VM in virtualbox but failing on the USB being constantly disconnected etc.) it's obvious that doing this on OS X is damn near impossible - and i don't have access to a windows machine currently.

Newflasher:
1. Download firmware with XperiaFirm.
2. Flash it with newflasher.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/cr...gress-newflasher-xperia-command-line-t3619426

Or fastboot:
1. 1. Download firmware with XperiaFirm.
2. Convert two sin files should named super_XXXXX.sin and oem_XXXX.sin with unsin.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/tool-unsin-sin-v3-unpacker-t3128106
3. After you get two .ext4 files, flash them via fastboot.

fastboot flash super super_xxxxxx.ext4
fastboot flash oem oem_xxxxxxxx.ext4

 

[bamdadkhan]

well i tried everything..

- spun up a VM with vagrant and copied over the .sin files, did an unsin but the super one only produced an .img not a .ext4. tried flashing that but it want't happy.
- so i tried flashtool's sin editor but that complained about this version of sin being too new.
- then i found some (bad) info in the net about using an *older* version of flashtool for this. of course that didn't work either.

even though i'm really interested in this (especially since the other lineage ROM has major bugs), i had to give up.

You didn't mention it in your description but in the download link it says this is for XQ-AU51 (single SIM). Will it still work on the dual SIM version XQ-AU52?

I've got the XQ-AU52 and can confirm this runs fine on it. I don't use two sims though, so can't confirm whether or not that happens to work.

Don't plan on using two SIMS either, but in the thread for the other rom it was specifically stated that it only works for one variant.
Anyway, thanks for the reply, I will try it.

Hi @Sjll, do you think that this commit will help activating L1 for Xperia 10 II and possible another mark II devices?
Luk added that on Xperia XA2 and enabled widevine L1 for it

 

[adem_blackv]

I have some questions

1)Will you add suport of Google Camera?
2) Does Google Pay work? and will it work in future? A heard something like that Google want start check Safenet with hardware solutions

Stock ROM doesn't has Level3 and RAW Capture

 

[Meloferz]

1) Read first post, there is the answer
2) If Safetynet pass CTS, will work Google Pay. About the future, if Google decides to check hardware, there is no way to pass CTS, so no Google Pay. The developer of Magisk has a twit about that explaining.

 

[wheal]

Hmm, I got this:

erasing 'metadata'...
FAILED (remote: Erasing is not allowed for partition)
...
sending sparse 'system' 1/2 (773764 KB)...
OKAY [ 21.700s]
writing 'system' 1/2...
FAILED (remote: No such partition.)

Edit:
All good now, I didnt boot correctly in fastbootd mode.

usin is enough for you to unpack these sin file, you could flash these files unpacked by it. .ext4 is only an example,.

If you want to go back to stock, you need to reloack your device, then repair it with Xperia Companion.

You didn't mention it in your description but in the download link it says this is for XQ-AU51 (single SIM). Will it still work on the dual SIM version XQ-AU52?

SS/DSDS configs stored in vendor partition. So it's depend on your stock FW version.

Hi @Sjll, do you think that this commit will help activating L1 for Xperia 10 II and possible another mark II devices?

We are using stock vendor blobs, so these files are never missing, you could only get L3 level on unlocked status.

I have some questions

1)Will you add suport of Google Camera?
2) Does Google Pay work? and will it work in future? A heard something like that Google want start check Safenet with hardware solutions

Gcam is really nice, but as you said, Xperia 10 II doesn't support RAW support, if I have time, I will try to port camera hal from SODP, which support RAW.

1) Read first post, there is the answer
2) If Safetynet pass CTS, will work Google Pay. About the future, if Google decides to check hardware, there is no way to pass CTS, so no Google Pay. The developer of Magisk has a twit about that explaining.

Sorry, GMS is not avaliable in China. You could try to pass Saftynet with some Magisk modules. I don't know much about it.

 

[Meloferz]

We are using stock vendor blobs, so these files are never missing, you could only get L3 level on unlocked status.

I know that we get L3 for widevine after unlocking bootloader, I just point you with that commit if could help to activate L1 for the Xperia 10 II with LOS, because Luk (Xperia XA2 series maintainer for LOS) could activate L1 for it with bootloader unlocked and using Lineage OS

 

[Sjll]

After everyth

I know that we get L3 for widevine after unlocking bootloader, I just point you with that commit if could help to activate L1 for the Xperia 10 II with LOS, because Luk (Xperia XA2 series maintainer for LOS) could activate L1 for it with bootloader unlocked and using Lineage OS

I guess this is because nile platform has L1 after unlocked on Pie on stock. But we only have L3 on stock.
