How to build and flash AOSP Android 11.0 to Sony Xperia XA2

[neo75]

Hello,
I have followed all the steps described here:

https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/guides/aosp-build-instructions/build-aosp-android-android-11-0-0/

and here:

https://developer.sony.com/file/download/software-binaries-for-aosp-android-11-0-kernel-4-14-nile/

Everything was succesfull up to the last flashing, where I obtained following error message:

sudo fastboot flash system /media/android/out/target/product/kirin/system.img

target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
erasing 'system_a'...
OKAY [  0.383s]
sending sparse 'system_a' 1/3 (516924 KB)...
OKAY [ 12.921s]
writing 'system_a' 1/3...
OKAY [  0.000s]
sending sparse 'system_a' 2/3 (516176 KB)...
FAILED (remote: Error: Last flash failed : Volume Full)
finished. total time: 13.305s

Is there any solution for the "volume full" error?

I did it all under latest Linux Mint 20. The phone is without any SD card.
After this last error the phone was completely stuck and after booting showed only "device corrupted" message. So finely I switched to Windows and used Sony Emma programme and flashed back original Android 9 installation from Sony site.

Thank you in advance for any help.
Regards

Hello
I built and flashed the image without any problem on my device

Can you please confirm that

• the device was lashed with EMMA to the latest SW available ?
• The AOSP software was built according to the guide without adding extra packages or source?

Please share the output for the next command:

ls -la /media/android/out/target/product/kirin/*.img

put device in fastboot mode (blue LED) and run the next command to check the base SW version
fastboot getvar --all

Best Regards
Alin

Hello, thank you for answer.
-I have flashed it with Emma the baseband 50.2.A.0.400 (Android 9), which works.
-regarding the AOSP I have made no modifications at all.
Just followed the first part of steps here:
https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004283713-Reverting-Xperia-device-to-Android-OS-and-reinstalling-Sailfish-OS

Regarding your command I will share it later. Now I am sitting at different computer.

The history of this my XA2 device is following: I have used Sailfish OS for more than a year, than I decided to reflash it back to android. I was not satisfied with SFOS.

Thanks a lot for support!

Hello,
so now I'm back and want to share following outputs.
I recompiled everything again (the phone is H4113).

ls -la android/out/target/product/pioneer/*.img

-rw-rw-r-- 1 zdenek zdenek   24192296 lis  5 03:36 pioneer/boot.img
-rw-rw-r-- 1 zdenek zdenek       3630 lis  5 03:36 pioneer/ramdisk.img
-rw-rw-r-- 1 zdenek zdenek   11502249 lis  5 03:36 pioneer/ramdisk-recovery.img
-rw-rw-r-- 1 zdenek zdenek 1346535872 lis  5 04:32 pioneer/system.img
-rw-rw-r-- 1 zdenek zdenek     184732 lis  5 03:10 pioneer/userdata.img
-rw-rw-r-- 1 zdenek zdenek   65159352 lis  5 04:31 pioneer/vendor.img

Sony is saying on their page, that "Several images may be missing depending on device layout.​"

In my output is missing "vbmeta.img​", "dtbo.img​", "vbmeta_system.img".
And some images are not mentioned on Sony page, like "ramdisk.img" and "ramdisk-recovery.img".

So should I flash all of the images, which appeared in my directory?

And here I want to share following output:

Hello,
so finely I was successful. After I recompiled everything again I found, that phone H4113 XA2 is codenamed "Pioneer" and not "Kirin". I did wrong setup of the first compilation. Now the AOSP 11 is up and running.
Thanks for support!
Best Regards
Neo
