I assumed that the fImage file was a necessary partition, ("system"). So, are you saying that whatever files would be in the fImage have been incorporated into Sailfish img?

This is a Windows flashing script for Sony Xperia 10 device.

Power on the device in fastboot mode, by doing the following:
1. Turn off your Xperia.
2. Connect one end of a USB cable to your PC.
3. While holding the volume up button pressed, connect the other end of
the USB cable to your Xperia.
4. After this you should see the blue LED lit on Xperia, and it will be
ready for flashing

Any idea? Device is unlocked, fastboot is working fine, the blue light is lit ...

Could it be that I am using the wrong software binaries? I downloaded and unzipped

Fastboot is working in general. Therefore the first part of the batch commands are fine.

It is stuck somewhere here:
