[Sony] Xperia Open Devices Project

[jerpelea]

Sony Mobile is committed to supporting the open developer community, and one way to show this is by publishing parts of our code as well as selected tools developed by our internal developers.

For some of the Xperia™ devices, we provide Android™ Open Source Project (AOSP) device configurations on GitHub. This means that the software will be open for you as a developer to use and contribute to. This is a way for us to support the open Android community, and it is also a tool for us to facilitate and verify contributions to AOSP.

If you want to build AOSP for your unlocked Xperia device, you find all the resources you need in the sections below.

I compiled AOSP using Sony's instructions and was able to boot fine into the ROM.
I also used the offical recovery mode update from Sony's developer page.

I can enter recovery with power + vol down, but when I use 'adb reboot recovery', it does not work (boots direct into the AOSP, like a normal reboot). Is this expected?
Do I have to use the extract_elf_ramdisk in my AOSP build, like CyanogenMod?

Thanks!

Ah, OK...
@jerpelea
Is this a bootloader thing?
Or is something in the kernel?

Maybe I can look into it...

I have a C6902 device, and I'm unable to see the open devices bootloader update for my phone in Flashtool, both while using stock and AOSP. Will it only work for C6903, or can I get a .ftf file and flash it with flashtool?

loader should be compatible but we have not tested it
(a ftf should solve the problem)

It appears as some people have been able to unlock the bootloader if the c6916 z1s (USA), using the regular z1 unlocking method on the Sony dev site. This didn't week for my z1s though. Is the camera permanently broken regardless of ROM after unlocking the bootloader? And why does it with to do this with some c6916 z1s units and not others? :/

 

[sorullo_xgrx]

Can you confirm is it possible to unlock the bootloader please.. Anyone else have tried it. Thanks in advance
