Xperia 10 II + SFOS

Hello, I have an Xperia 10 II. I had problems with android 11, I downgraded to Android 10. My bootloader is open. I am not getting an update to Android 11 now. Do I have to close the bootloader again, if so how do I do it? Do I have to be on Android 11 if I flash the upcoming SFOS? Is there a way to get to Android 11 with a saved bootloader? Sorry for my bad English

Should be no issue using Xperifirm and Newflasher: https://github.com/newflasher/newflasher

Just to add that since March 2021 need to update to Xperifirm v5.6.1 and that to date Androxyde Flashtool no longer opens Xperifirm.

Is there no way to download official android images directly from Sony’s site?

Just to add a little extra info . .

I had issues with my XA2 ultra using the Emma tool after unlocking that sound similar to Rene. It wouldn’t find any firmware at all for it. Whatever weird term Sony calls its firmware. So xperifirm and newflasher to the rescue.

There’s some helpful discussions regarding using these tools over on the xda developers website for new users.

You are right - so it must mean April 2022

Indeed :joy::joy::joy: I’ve developed enough patience skills that I can probably wait until April 2022 if necessary

As someone said above, it might be on a Thursday so maybe tomorrow.
But who knows, might take a few more weeks or months. I’ve been waiting since their first tweet about a 64bit device in early December 2020 :sweat_smile:

The fact that the Jolla store is back up after a period of being inaccessible suggests to me that it won’t be long. :crossed_fingers:

I know the feeling :slight_smile: Several times there have been posts that I’d like to react to somehow, but without the heart thing. Oh well, we can only wait.

It’s much harder to understand impatience regarding things in the past. :wink:

Still playing around with the Xperia 10 II on Android. At least one, and sometimes many come-ons keep popping up every day. I’ve got some new extra tiny icons on top now, next to the clock. One’s obviously an eighth note, I think one is the facebook logo trying to get me to join. Two more are undecipherable, using a magnifying glass doesn’t help.

My wife said to me “Can’t you turn notifications off. I can on my iPhone.” I just thought if I wanted SFOS to bug me all the time I’d probably have to install something to make that happen. Or at least turn something on. I want my SFOS on this neat device. I was getting to like the improvements in 4.0 right when my Xperia X died. Android is making feel cheap.

I used Sailfish one year and switched back to Android for about one year. Then one day I got totally p…d off to Android and switched back to Sailfish. Now I have Xperia 10 ii waiting for Sailfish release. Not impatient but yet checking status every day…

My app list views, silica or generic are not sluggish. black sheeps hafenschau, which is really nice programming is also not sluggish. it’s faster than desktop apps with far more horespower.

and I’m running on a kernel in debug mode. so it doesn’t get any more sluggish.

SVG rendering is deficient in QT 5.6 (in comparison to pngs) which can also be ‘slow’ but silica in general is not sluggish.

I’m doing the same :joy: Sorry for the impatience, Jolla, but it’s taking so long that it’s almost become an obsession, hahah
