New issue

Description
I am trying to build the Andoid 13, branch android-13.0.0_r75. However, the SW Binary I am using - SW_binaries_for_Xperia_Android_13_5.15_v3a_yodo.img leaves the phone unbootable.

Is there a working version of SW Binary+ Android tag which I can use to create a working AOSP build for Yodo/XQ- DQ54?
Also is there a good SW Binary+ Android tag which will work with a high end Sony phone.

Best regards

Thanks Alin.

@gecko19
the bootloop is caused by the missing
sonyxperiadev/device-sony-common#918

Please wait until the PR is merged then the issue should be fixed

Thanks for your patience!
Alin

Thanks @jerpelea . Would there be a commit I can cherry-pick to verify that it is fixed.

Cheers,
George.

@gecko19 it's merged, so resyncing the whole tree or just device/sony/common (and device/sony/sepolicy) on your U or T tree should do the trick.

[jerpelea]

it is already merged so
rm -r out
repo_update
and build

Hi @jerpelea . Thanks for this. I did progress a bit further, though the phone still does not boot. I say that it does progress because the sony splash screen now switches off. Please be aware that the phone runs Android 14 from the Emma tool and in reality trying to flash Android 13 AOSP might be a downgrade.

I did the following steps in fastboot mode:

fastboot flash oem SW_binaries_for_Xperia_Android_13_5.15_v3a_yodo.img
fastboot flash boot out/target/product/pdx234/boot.img

Hi,
please flash Android 13 from Emma then flash Android 13 AOSP
A new oem release will be published on DW today or tomorrow

Best regards
Alin

[jerpelea]

another note

all supported devices MUST be flashed from fastbootd

from fastboot (blue light)
fastboot reboot fastboot (missing from your flash list)

you will have on the phone a fastbotd menu (like recovery
flash partitions from PC

Best regards
Alin

Hello @jerpelea. It does work now as expected. Though it it did take a couple of boots to show the screen. Thanks a lot for your help on this.
