This is the Android device configuration for Xperia ZL.

To setup a tree and build images for the device do the following:

repo init as described by Google over at: http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html

Put the following snippet in .repo/local_manifests/c6503.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<remote  name="sony" fetch="git://github.com/sonyxperiadev/" />

Download the zip file with vendor binaries from: http://developer.sonymobile.com/knowledge-base/open-source/android-open-source-project-for-xperia-devices/

In the root of your Android code tree unzip the SW_binaries_for_Xperia_Z_Xperia_Tablet_Z_v3.zip.

You should now have directories named vendor/sony/lagan and vendor/sony/c6503 in your tree.

  • repo sync
  • source ./build/envsetup.sh
  • lunch full_c6503-userdebug
  • make

To flash the images produced make sure your device is unlocked, as described on http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/

Enter fastboot mode on the device by pressing volume up while inserting the USB cable or execute adb reboot bootloader.

  • fastboot flash userdata out/target/product/c6503/userdata.img
  • fastboot flashall

Reflashing userdata is not necessary every time, but incompatibilities with previous content might result in a device that doesn't boot. If this happens try to reflash just the userdata again.
