WARNING: This device is not recommended for future use with postmarketOS due to its armhf architecture. Alpine Linux (the distribution that postmarketOS extends) pmaports#599 has been considering dropping it. The processor of the device may support the armv7 architecture. If so, you can modify the device package and change the architecture accordingly. |

Device knowledge
Special keycombo's
- Boot to bootloader (fastboot): unplug device, hold volume up and plug usb into device. LED turns blue when in fastboot
- Boot to recovery(when flashed to FOTAkernel only?): repeatedly press volume up during bootup
- Reboot if stuck: hold volume up and power button till the phone vibrates once
- Shutdown phone: hold volume up and power button till phone vibrates three times
Notification LED information
- Constant blue LED: fastboot mode
- Slowly blinking red LED when plugged in: battery cannot hold any charge/battery charge is too low for booting
- Blinking red LED when trying to boot: Cannot boot, maybe offsets are wrong?
- Constant red LED on while plugged in: charging
Non-standard notes
The Xperia Z does not have a recovery partition, so flashing PostmarketOS erases any recovery you have installed. Instructions across the internet for reinstalling a custom recovery are almost all incorrect.
To install a custom recovery on the Xperia Z:
- put the device in fastboot mode
- run
fastboot flash boot recovery.img
(replacerecovery.img
with the filename of your recovery of choice) - run
fastboot reboot
to reboot into the recovery
This is also the reason why LineageOS boot.img is far larger than postmarketOS boot image (the recovery is inside it).
Current state
What works
- charging
- network through USB
- telnet in initramfs
- ssh
- adjusting the led, torch and the lcd backlight
- display
- Weston
- Xwayland

- FDE does not work, password unlock screen does not appear
What has not been tested
- Bluetooth
- 3G
- Sound
- Phone calls
- SD card
- Wifi
Mainline support
- It should be possible to run The Mainline Kernel on the device. At least there is a
dts
file already in the 4.14 kernel:arch/arm/boot/dts/qcom-apq8064-sony-xperia-yuga.dts
At the moment this is not tested yet.
Install
Installation procedure
Follow the Installation guide.
Troubleshooting
- If you get a slowly blinking red LED when trying to charge, this could mean your battery does not get charged. You have then have two options:
- Open the back (eg. with a hairdryer) and try to unplug and plug the battery
- If all else fails: buy a new battery
