I tried first the windows method (flash.bat) but it seems the bat file has some issues and doesn't work. I manually executed the steps on the bat file in terminal window and everything seemed to go fine.

Code:

After restart the phone entered to bootloop (shows SONY logo and restarts endlessly).

The only difference is that I did shorten the Sony OEM blob file name... This should have nothing to do with this? There are several versions of the Sony OEM blob files available. I used the one that was mentioned in the instructions.

I was able to recover it back to Android using the EMMA tool. It flashed back slightly older version (228) while the version before was 344 if I recall.

I retried flashing after the EMMA tool recovery but I still get the bootloop. This time I can't even get the EMMA to recognize the phone any more... so I'll need to recover it using the fastboot only.

One interesting point I noted with EMMA: It can not be used in the fastboot mode (blue LED after holding volume up key up) but only in "standard mode" showing green LED...

what were the issues with the bat file?

It kicked me out on checking if I had correct product: Manually given the "fastboot getvar product" command responds with "product: F5121"

The bigger problem now I have is that I cannot flash the userdata... More details are in my previous post.

I'm not sure if it matters any more... I fixed the userdata flashing issue by doing it from linux (dual boot). It worked flawlessly and now I'm already using Sailfish on my XperiaX :D

Busy now playing with my new toy... :D

Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)

Does this device have aliendalvik support? If so could any one of you share with aliendalvik package with me? I see this phone is using android marshmallow as base and i need aliendalvik which works with that version of base for Nexus 5 with base CM13. I tried with CM11 and CM12.1 and AD works but 12.1 has some issues. But it does start on CM13 base.

Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)

Few hours of testing/fooling around:
- sensors not working
- GPS not working
- Bluetooth file receive from another Sailfish phone (Moto G4 plus) works. (No other Bluetooth testing done.)
- Samba app not working. (Works on Moto G4 plus.)
- Occasionally WiFi stops working. Reboot fixes it.
- Not possible to setup "General email" account. (Works on Moto G4 plus.)
- Camera works, but not possible to select full resolution 24MPix mode.
- Video recording resolution is 3840x2160 4K? (By looking captured video file details.)
- Haven't tested SIM/phone functionality yet.

The XperiaX is in 2.1.3.7 after it performed OTA update. My Moto G4 plus uses sailfish version 2.1.0.10.
