Until Sony updates their Firmware to allow flashing of oem partition, this is a workaround to flash this partition thru TWRP recovery and using dd.

Download and unzip SW_binaries_for_Xperia_AOSP_O_MR0_4.4_v05_loire.zip from https://developer.sonymobile.com/open-devices/list-of-devices-and-resources/

Create a sparse oem.img from the downloaded binaries.

$ simg2img SW_binaries_for_Xperia_AOSP_O_MR0_4.4_v05_loire.img oem.raw

Then flash the oem partition (workaround, until Sony updates stock image with oem partition writable)

Boot to TWRP recovery by powering off the phone completely, hold VOL-DOWN and POWER and wait for TWRP boot.
Or, fastboot boot twrp.img

$ adb root
$ adb push oem.raw /sdcard/
$ adb shell
# dd if=/sdcard/oem.raw of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p39

Thanks NielDK for the instructions https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74130466&postcount=2

Do you need to flash the OEM image to boot to system or it is just made to boot to twrp?

To boot to system.

Sony hasn't updated the bootloader to support oreo so we need to manually update the oem partition.

But can i do it with adb n fastboot tool too? Or its not going to work?

I haven't much used fastboot so I don't know how well adb works with fastboot. I just booted to twrp and used adb like in the instructions.

Of course you don't need adb if you put the raw-file on the sd-card directly with your computer. Then put the card to your phone. Boot to twrp and use twrp's terminal to write "dd if=/sdcard/oem.raw of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p39" .

Ok, but can you add the oem.raw image here because i am such a newbie. I haven't just touched the OEM stuff so i don't know much. So as i understand:
I need that oem.raw image and twrp
And then boot into twrp
Go to terminal
Write: if=/sdcard/oem.raw of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p39
Push enter
Reboot
And no sony logo stuck and boots right into omni?
(Edit) and put the oem.raw to /sdcard/

So after you have backed up every thing.
You need to wipe the system and data with twrp.
Then you can install my zip-file with twrp.
Then you need to make the oem.raw file like in the instructions with your pc.
Then you can copy that file to your sd card.
After that you can boot to twrp, open the terminal and write this " dd if=/sdcard/oem.raw of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p39 ". And push enter.
After that you can reboot your phone and every thing should work .

@DJHasis Some people over at the [Nougat 7.1.X][X Compact - F5321] Android Open Source Project thread were discussing the green camera issue, thought it might help you figure out the issue...

 

[DJHasis]

Sony has updated the Vendor image. It contains alot fixes and now camera works.

I downloaded it and converted it. Every one can download it from my mediafire-folder.

Hey, Thanks for your Work. Is it usable AS daily Driver ?

I've been using for almost two weeks.

Sometimes it might crash but devs are improving the code quite fast and the latest version is quite stable.

I'm compiling a new version on semi daily basis so you'll get the latest changes quite fast.

Hi! After a few days using, this rom, heres my "report":
- First boot time is so long, so be patient until it finished his work.
- Camera works perfectly with the roms cam software, there are 20,3MPx and the Automata focus continously, picture taking about a minisec.. self cam works to. But, I think the pictures a little dark...
- I found an "error".. If i set up the omni alarm and choosed the alarm sound to " random music ", it cant play any mp3 from my sd card. The phones internal storage play works good, but not from sd card...
- Supersu 2.82 SR5 zip did good the root thing
- and a big headcache... Google play... I can't install any of them. I tried lot of them. OpenGapps mini, micro, pico... Every time when i try to set up my account, its just "checking info ", and nothing else, just force stop after a few minutes. I tried it after a clean install. I tried adter root. I tried immediately after omni zip + raw combination. None of them work for me...
- about battery life, i think its normal, but i used it withouth google apps... So not many sync was the background...
- wifi doesn't work, it's simple not turning on

Anyway, i like it, i think after some time, it will be good as Omni 7.1.2. Keep up the good work OmniTeam! And thanks for your homemade to!

Hi!
On 11.04 the wifi doesn't turn on. Its not working. On the 11.08 I don't try it. BUT...
I've got a working gapps. I don't really know how to do that, but The steps was:
After wipe data, system, cache, etc then flashed Omnirom homemade zip, after that dd the raw image. Then before bootes up i flashed " A-GAPPS-arm64--8.0-01102017.zip ", then supersu latest SR5. After boot, the gapps setup FC. Then dirty flash homemade.zip after that another gapps, what was " open_gapps-arm64-8.0-nano-20171104.zip ", then came the supersu, and then went to reboot. Now a little more time was the boot than before. After its boot up normal i've got working google account setup, and orher google things. Why i do that now? Because until "A-Gapps" the google account setup just show "checking info" screen, and never goes on. After "A-gapps" its immadietly go to FC. Just the "a-gapps" dirty flash doeant help. The whole process again with "a-gapps" dont. Just that if i flashed second time an open nano version...
I hope its help if somebody got similar problem.

I installed open gapps pico and I didn't have any issues. Also I didn't install supersu, instead I installed Magisk Manager and I don't have any root issues.
Wifi doesn't work and Sony's people are working on it.
