You don't know what people are willing to use if there are no real alternatives in their eyes, for instance a Sony tablet with Sailfishos without any sensors, bluetooth, gps, camera .. did i forgot something? :D

By the way, how do you know that its nor ready yet?

I also have F5122 with 1302-3039 Rev2. How about it ?

You can flash any version of CDA on your phone, my Xperia X is from USA and hasn't fingerprint enabled, so I flashed from my region Generic LAM, which have a different CDA and works as expected and with fingerprint enabled [emoji847]

gps works, but you forgot about video playback :D

But honestly, would you expect people to pay for something as broken as that sony tab image?

That doesn't matters, i flashed this CDA 1301-2283 Commercial and Journalist. Its Android 6.0

Afterwards you can extract TA-Partition (DRM-Keys) and upgrade to your CDA (Android 7.1.1) again.

The whole process of Downgrade, TA-Extraction and Bootloader Unlock is very well described here. But its unfortunately in German.

The F5121 is one of the Xperia X offered @ ALDI in Germany.

Downgraded to 6.0, created TA-Partition-Backup (DRM) and unlocked Bootloader.

Why downgrade explit?

Because you can't back up your DRM or other Sony specific blobs under Nougat.

As far as I know only Sony phones needs to back up this DRM thing, otherwise you will lose certain function in camera (noise cancellation?) And screen colour enhancement.

Other manufacturers will just display you a warning screen (like Motorola) or lose warranty or can't do future OTA but won't have a functional loss as Sony.

Re: Sailfish OS (officially) on Sony Xperia devices
 
If you unlock bootloader without saving DRM-keys and TA, are they lost forever? (cannot get them back by flashing something, or by any means?) islosing DRM-keys and TA preventing me from installing Sailfish? (I understood features that require them aren't going to be ported by jolla anyway?) Or is backing them up only for if you want to return to Android stock ROM? Thanks.
