Unofficial build for Sony Xperia 5 II `pdx206` In response to a request in another thread, I have made a build of IodéOS 5.1 for this device. It’s available from sourceforge > **[pf-custom-roms - Browse Files at SourceForge.net](https://sourceforge.net/projects/pf-custom-roms/files/)** I do not own one of these devices so… THIS BUILD HAS NOT BEEN TESTED AT ALL - USE IT ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK! It should be possible to install the build by following the instructions for installing LineageOS [https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/pdx206/install](https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/pdx215/install) Note the section [Ensuring all firmware partitions are consistent](https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/pdx206/install#ensuring-all-firmware-partitions-are-consistent), which only need to be done once per device. ---

There have been zero downloads of this file from [SourceForge](https://sourceforge.net/projects/pf-custom-roms/files/pdx206/iode-os/) so, if no-one wants to use the build, I will be removing from SourceForge in the next couple of weeks, as they are hassling me about using too much space. ---

@petefoth just noticed that the post was 6 months ago but had already downloaded it anyway. Keep us posted if they hustle to take some more down and I might just put them on to my OS archive disk anyway. Not sure as to where this project is taking me too as I keep buying phones but people keep buying them in the schmoogle form despite me offering the demonstrator and a free iode install at no extra cost. ---

I’ve rearranged the sourceforge project. The latest IodéOS build is available from [here](https://sourceforge.net/projects/pf-custom-roms/files/IodeOS/pdx206/) [iode-5.5-20240916-pdx206.zip](https://sourceforge.net/projects/pf-custom-roms/files/IodeOS/pdx206/iode-5.5-20240916-pdx206.zip/download) I’ll blow the old build away (though sourceforge haven;t been hassling me again) ---

The latest build of IodéOS (v6.2) is available ``. Bootloader re-locking is not possible with this build (and it really [isn’t necessary - or even desirable](https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/n7yo7u/a_discussion_about_bootloader_lockingunlocking/%3E) 🙂 ) > _ **2026-02-22 edit from @rik:** removing link to old LineageOS for microG server download location for iodéOS builds as it is causing issues users when finding this old, inactive link. The new download location is [https://iode.lineage.microg.org/](https://iode.lineage.microg.org/) It was changed in January 2026 to enable OTA updates for the L4M hosted unofficial iodéOS builds._ ---

GrapheneOS develops and builds the most secure Android Custom ROMs - exclusively with relocked bootloader. CalyxOS develops and builds Android Custom ROMs - exclusively with relocked bootloader. DivestOS built a large number of its custom ROMs with relocked bootloader. If, as with YAAP CustomROMs, the user has the choice between installing a ROM with or without a relocked bootloader, so much the better. My decision is, whenever possible, always in favor of the relocked bootloader. So my Sony Xperia 5 II and Sony Xperia 1 II are now running with OFFICIAL YAAP build-in microG (A15) and relocked bootloader. I would like to see both Sony Xperia included in the iodéOS portfolio with official iodéOS 6.x relocked bootloader version. ---
