Great guide. Worked great to flash in Linux. I have a few improvement proposals.

I had some problems understanding how flashtool works. It became clear once I booted up the phone into Android and then run Flashtool and plugged the cable. The phone was recognized and there were instructions how to power it off and press volume-down when plugging in the cable etc.

Fully turn off your phone.

Open flashtool.

Plug your phone into your computer. Flashtool should now recognize your phone.
Please add that you need to press volume-down to enter flash mode while plugging the USB cable. This is also explained when using Flashtool.



...
Now fully turn off your phone again and enter fastboot-mode (hold volume-up while plugging in your phone).
The led should now be blue.
...
Hold volume-down to enter flash mode here (not fastboot mode). It is true that led is blue in flash mode.
