NW-A100TPS source code and firmware

Unlawful — Tue, 19 Nov 2019 18:49:40 GMT

Hello. Are you planning to provide the source code for the Android kernel and ROM in the NW-A100TPS?

Additionally, are you planning to provide full flashable firmware files alongside OTA updates?

Thank you.

Hi @Unlawful, welcome to the community.

It's not clear whether this sort of access will be made available. I will check it out and get back to you here if so.

Cheers

Mick

Hi Unlawful,

I believe that Sony wouldn't disclose the source code but the Android Kernel version is available in the about device section.

Cheers,

Hi The_Black_Rose, thank you for your reply! Unfortunately I need the actual kernel software, or its source code, as opposed to the version in About device. I believe Sony is required by the Android OS licensing terms to share the source code of the firmware to some extent. Hopefully someone from within Sony can provide an official stance on this.

Hi,

Can you please let me know if you have it by any chance? I want the firmware too. Thanks

Someone else on the Head-Fi forums found the source code: https://oss.sony.net/Products/Linux/Audio/NW-A105.html

It looks to be strictly the kernel source code, but I'm not sure yet.

No idea about full firmware files though.
