installation tutorial F5321

Hugehead

Hello,

i have the same problem as in

https://forums.ubports.com/topic/6110/sony-xperia-x-compact-f5321-ut-extremely-slow-no-wifi-no-sim/1

that F5321 is extremely slow. I read the post and see some workarounds but still i am not sure how to flash my f5321. I did flash the suggested AOSP but now i am always stuck in Sony logo. I am not sure at which stage to flash the AOSP and if Android is requried upfront.

Can someone please write down the steps how to correctly flash the F5321 including the right commands?

Copied from Sony Xperia X (suzu/F5121 & F5122) it should be:

Make sure to upgrade your device to the latest stock Android 8.0 before continuing.
Windows: https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/flash-tool/
Linux: http://www.flashtool.net/downloads_linux.php (run with GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus ./FlashTool) and https://xperifirm.com/tutorial/install-xperifirm-linux/
OEM unlock your device: https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/unlock-bootloader/
Boot your device into fastboot mode by shutting it down and keeping the Volume Up button pressed while plugging in a USB cable between your phone and PC. The LED should be on and blue.
In case of flashing issues please wipe system, data & cache partitions using TWRP: https://twrp.me/sony/sonyxperiaxcompact.html
Flash the OEM binaries from: https://developer.sony.com/file/download/software-binaries-for-aosp-nougat-android-7-1-kernel-4-4-loire/ using
fastboot flash oem SW_binaries_for_Xperia_AOSP_N_MR1_5.7_r1_v08_loire.img

Great news.
Can you mark the thread as solved so other will find the answer more easily.
Use the cog wheel menu, "ask a question" then "mark as solved" or you can also mark the post as the best answer (but this thread is small, it's no problem to find it)

If any problem just ask and I'll do it

actually i dont see that option to mark it as solved

@hugehead said in installation tutorial F5321:

That is because it must first be marked as a question before it can be marked as solved.

Whoever thought that this was a good idea, I don't know. I see moderators explaining the interface, or marking posts as solved because people don't find it, every week.

I did it, no problem.
And yes Moem is right, you have to "ask a question" first.

It's logical but not really intuitive.
