How to build AOSP Oreo for unlocked Xperia devices
On this page you can find guides on how to use our AOSP device configurations to build your own version of Android Oreo, and flash it on your unlocked Xperia device. For some of the Xperia devices, we provide Android Open Source Project (AOSP) device configurations on GitHub. This means that the software is open for you as a developer to use and contribute to. Please note that the software is not intended for daily usage and there are important limitations. For example, there could be stability issues, and important functions may be disabled.
Build AOSP Oreo 8.0 kernel 4.4
This guide assumes you run Ubuntu (we used Ubuntu 14.04 LTS), but it should work in a similar way on any Linux-based system. To use these instructions, you should be familiar with Android development. Follow the steps below to build Android Oreo on an unlocked Xperia device. The instructions will guide you through each step from how to prepare your environment and install all necessary tools to downloading and configuring the code, before you can finally build AOSP images and flash them on your device.
Prepare your Java environment
To prevent errors generated by having the wrong version of Java installed on your computer, we will start by removing any conflicting Java version and adding the correct version. Java 8 is needed to build Android 8.x.x.
On your computer: In a terminal window, enter the following command:
sudo apt-get purge openjdk-\* icedtea-\* icedtea6-\*
A guide will appear on the screen. Follow the instructions to remove Java.
Once Java is removed, install the correct version of Java by entering the following commands in a terminal window:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk
java -version
You should now see something similar to the following in your terminal window:
java version "1.8.0_91"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_91-8u91-b14-0ubuntu4~14.04-b14)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.91-b14, mixed mode)
Install the necessary tools to make an Android build
To be able to build the images that you will later flash on your device, you need to install a set of software packages and libraries which give you the tools to compile source code into binary files that can run on your device.
In a terminal window, enter the following commands, all at once:
sudo apt-get install bison g++-multilib git gperf libxml2-utils make zlib1g-dev:i386 zip
Now you have the tools you need to compile and build a flashable AOSP image. Follow the steps below to learn how to do this.
Download Repo tool and set PATH
In order to access and use the source code available on the Sonyxperiadev GitHub, you need to install the Repo tool that is provided by Google.
In a terminal window, enter the following commands to download and install Repo, and set the right access rules for it:
mkdir ~/bin
curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Open the bashrc file included in the repo tool:
sudo nano ~/.bashrc
To set the right path for your local bin folder, paste the following code to a new line at the very bottom of the bashrc file, and then save the file using Ctrl+X:
export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
Reload bash variables to include the new path:
source ~/.bashrc
Now you have all the tools you need and can move on to initializing the AOSP code and Xperia device configurations. Learn how to do this below!
Initialise the AOSP tree
The next step is to create a folder on your computer, and then download the Android source code to it. Follow the steps below to do this.
In a terminal window, enter the following commands:
mkdir ~/android
cd ~/android
repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-8.0.0_r15
Note! The downloaded data is around 20 GB, and for a successful build you need 100 GB free hard disk space. Depending on your Internet connection, it can take quite a long time to download the source code. When the download has finished you have the basic AOSP source code on your computer.
Clone the local_manifests from GitHub using the following commands:
cd .repo
git clone https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/local_manifests
cd local_manifests
git checkout master
cd ../..
Note! These repos include a precompiled kernel. If you want to change or improve the kernel, you can recompile a new kernel. The new kernel binary should be placed in the corresponding device repository along with new kernel modules for wireless hardware. For more information, see the page how to rebuild kernels for flagship Xperia devices.
To download the code into the device repos created above, run the command:
repo sync
Cherry-pick the upstream patches
./repo_update.sh
Build AOSP images that can be flashed
Now you are ready to build AOSP images that can be flashed to a device. To do this, you have to point out your specific device and then start building the images.
Enter the following commands:
source build/envsetup.sh && lunch
When prompted, pick the number corresponding to your device in the list displayed and press enter.
To start the build, type:
make –j <insert the cpu thread number of your computer>
This step will take a long time. It may take up to several hours, so go grab a coffee or play a game while you wait. When it’s done, AOSP images that can be flashed to a device will be ready.
Flash AOSP image to your device
Before you flash the images that you built in the previous step, you must make sure your device is unlocked through Sony’s unlock boot loader service. Then you can flash the AOSP images on your device by following these steps:
On your device: Connect the device to your computer in Fastboot mode, by pressing volume up while inserting the USB cable. When the device is in Fastboot mode, the LED on the device will be illuminated in blue.
On your computer: Flash the boot, system and userdata images by entering the following commands in a terminal window:
fastboot –S 256M flash boot out/target/product/<device>/boot.img
fastboot –S 256M flash system out/target/product/<device>/system.img
fastboot –S 256M flash userdata out/target/product/<device>/userdata.img
Note!It’s not necessary to re-flash the userdata every time you flash your device, but sometimes the new software is incompatible with previous content, which might result in a device that doesn’t boot. If you experience this, try to re-flash only the userdata again.
Now when you disconnect your device from the computer and start it, it will be running AOSP.
Flash vendor image to your device
Download the vendor image corresponding your device from List of devices and resources.
Unpack the vendor zip file to obtain the vendor image.
unzip SW_binaries_for_Xperia_AOSP_O_MR0_4.4_<release version>_<platform>.zip
Note: Release version should be equivalent to the latest downloaded image version, and platform should match your device.
On your device: Connect the device to your computer in Fastboot mode, by pressing volume up while inserting the USB cable. When the device is in Fastboot mode, the LED on the device will be illuminated in blue.
On your computer: Flash the vendor image by entering the following commands in a terminal window:
fastboot flash oem SW_binaries_for_Xperia_AOSP_O_MR0_4.4_<release version>_<platform>.img
Note: Release version should be equivalent to the latest downloaded image version, and platform should match your device.
We hope this tutorial will help you get started building your own version of Android for Xperia devices. Feel free to contribute your work back to our repositories on our Sonyxperiadev GitHub account. We will review and merge your code as soon as possible.

"Updating Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, and Pixel 6a devices to Android 13 for the first time
Warning: The Android 13 update for Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, and the Pixel 6a contains a bootloader update that increments the anti-roll back version for the bootloader. This prevents the device from rolling back to previous vulnerable versions of the bootloader. After flashing an Android 13 build on these devices you will not be able to flash and boot older Android 12 builds. For developers who need to develop and test against an Android 12 environment, a special Developer Support Build that contains the bootloader update should be used.
After taking an Android 13 update and successfully booting the device post update, an Android 12 build resides in the inactive slot (seamless updates for more information on slots) of the device. The inactive slot contains an older bootloader whose anti-rollback version has not been incremented. If the active slot is then flashed with a build that fails to boot, the fallback mechanism of seamless updates kicks in and the device tries to boot from the inactive slot. Since the inactive slot contains the older bootloader, the device enters an unbootable state.
To avoid hitting this state, if you are flashing a Pixel 6, Pixel 6a, or Pixel 6 Pro device with an Android 13 build for the first time, please flash the bootloader partition to the inactive slot"...
If you want to update to the Android 13 Factory image without wiping your phone: Do Flash Factory Image Keep Data (below).
Always verify you have the latest working version of SDK Platform-Tools installed on your computer before installing the Factory Image: Pixel 6 - oriole.
If you get an error while flashing, try one of these options:
Change the USB port to a non charging USB port.
Change the USB cord.
Change Computers.
If you phone bootloops
Press the Power button until the phone turns off.
Press the Power and Volume Down to boot the bootloader.
Open a Command Prompt in the SDK-Platform-tools folder or the folder that has adb.exe in it, and type adb wait-for-device shell magisk --remove-modules

For sure! Depending on your time committments that would be great.
When I go to patch the boot.img I get an error in Magisk
Code:
- Device platform: arm64-v8a
- Installing 92546e8a (23016)
! Process error
! Installation failed
In the logs, I see the following error in the stack trace
Code:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /storage/emulated/0/boot.img: open failed: EACCES (Permission denied)
It seems like Magisk doesn't have permission to access the boot image?
EDIT:
Nevermind, it was caused by the app I was using to select the file. I used Google's default Files app and that fixed it
As always, great work! Boomarked in case i have a brain fart

I'm assuming you have the latest version of SDK Platform-tools r. 31.0.3 installed on your computer, there are no typing errors on the command fastboot..., USB debugging is enabled, and fastboot.exe is in this folder:
C:\Users\Derek\Desktop
Try opening Command Prompt in this folder:

Then type:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched-23016_zt99Y.img to flash it.

What is FastbootD? How to Boot to FastbootD Mode
In this tutorial, we will explain you what is FastbootD Mode in Android, how to boot to FastbootD Mode and how to exit this mode.
www.droidwin.com
*Limitation of FastbootD
FastbootD not the same as regular "fastboot", impossible to use fastbootd without " Dynamic partition. etc., dynamic partitions are automatically created, resized, or deleted as needed.
*FastbootD has access in logical partition like Super Partition.
( have odm +product+vendor+system partition inside) , Because dynamic partitions are implemented in userspace, partitions needed by the bootloader can't be made dynamic. For example, boot, dtbo, and vbmeta are read by the bootloader, and so must remain as physical partitions.
then
You can't uses by fastbootD performed
Code:
fastboot --disable-verity flash vbmata vbmeta.img
✓ Not enough space to resize partition solution
Solution:
Removing stock system_ext and/or product from fastbootd is enough, like so:
***Don't uses this command
"fastboot delete-logical-partition product"
why ?
the product partition, with around 1.3GB in size isn’t even required by the GSIs.
then you can delete data on product partition.
*(Didn't delete product partition itself but deletes only data inside this partition , then android will auto-resize product'spartition.)
Do this.
Code:
adb reboot fastboot
Code:
fastboot erase product
set the size of the product partition to 0
Code:
fastboot resize-logical-partition product 0x0
To verify if the partition size has become 0.
Code:
fastboot getvar all
If one of the lines shows the below code, then the process is a success.
Code:
(bootloader) partition-size:product:0x0
