What size is slot A and Slot B? When I look at storage space of internal it’s about 32 GB which is my entire drive and I would think it’s a lot less.

Getting too detailed for now! Cooking, wine, chill time, uK timezone. But I believe the partitions don’t take that much . more tomorrow maybe.
Well the media sound didn’t work for me on the /e/ release for e-0.14-q-20210204100103-dev-pioneer.zip either. I made an unencrypted nandroid backup of the latter Q that I had installed so I can go back and am restoring it now. Maybe I can get stock Sony on the other slot?
The 100103 version of /e/ is on slot A now and I restored the 100104 version on slot B.

Actually I think the 2 slots are just so 1 OS will boot. When I pick slot A it goes nowhere unit I pick slot B and then it goes into my backup of the latest /e/ version of 100104.

Marty, it just occurred to me what your problem with the stock rom might have been. I checked back on my notes to last July when I was trying to flash stock android 9. At that point in time I was using Androxyde Flashtool for flashing and Xperifirm for the rom, which I’m guessing is what you have too.
Flashtool was ok for android 8, but nothing worked to get 9 onto the phone. I tried various supposed fixes including altering the flashing script.
Eventually I tried Newflasher, still getting the firmware from Xperifirm, and this worked fine. (Later I set windows up with Emma which I mostly use now.)

Thanks! I’ll try to get my phone totally working in a couple weeks with that flashing tool. I’m not sure where the stock rom came from but I think I need to flash stock from Xperifirm and make sure everything works on the phone before upgrading to /e/.
