Basically, you need access to a SailfishOS 1.1.7.x or up target. Also, since we don't have working recovery for z3c, you need to manually extract the tar.bz2 on AOSP. You can use busybox and the install script in a working zip as example of how to do so.

You need an unlocked bootloader and flash AOSP. The AOSP version we used is AOSP_L_MR1_150422_aries.zip, you can find this file here: http://dfiles.eu/files/aiaya4zlb, it's recommended you use this version. Note the download is very, very slow.

Sony Xperia Z3 Compact

[edit] Current status

SailfishOS port to the z3c is still a work in progess, it it based on CM-12.1, and boots to UI. Wifi works, and so does the modem.

There are currently no prebuilt zips available for flashing. You can however roll a build yourself, using the repositories and manifests at https://github.com/xperiasailors/.

Feel free to ping maikoool on irc if your want write access on any of the repositories there. You can of course also do a pull request on Github.

maikoool was the latest one working on this port, in April 2016.


[edit] Some info for flashing

If you build a sailfish image, this will not include recovery. CM-12.1 stock recovery cannot be used because of some checksum error.

Since the Z3c does not have a bootloader recovery option, you will need to flash TWRP recovery or similar other recovery using fastboot. You can get one at http://nut.xperia-files.com/ by uploading your stock CM boot.img there.


If you want to return to Android, use fastboot to flash your original boot.img. No changes to Android should have been made by flashing SailfishOS.

If you want to reclaim the diskspace used by sailfish, remove the /data/.stowaways/sailfishos/ folder.
