It's been a while, that I installed Sailfish X.
But beeing just a average Linux user, I had no problems Installing Sailfish X following exactly the instructions.
How much space left on internal memory?
Just to be curious:
What happens if you touch the reboot text?

The difficulty of Sailfish X installation really depends on if you want to backup the TA partition (so that you can return the device to original state, for example for easier warranty repair) or not. Without the backup step (which entail at least one firmware flashing and then 3 hours of updates or two firmware flashings) the installation process is easy, you just:
0. pay for license, download the image, download the kernel binaries
1. make sure the Android firmware is new enough
2. unlock the bootloader (this is kinda annoying, but I understand the security implications of why it is it done that way)
3. run the Jolla provided flashing script
And that's it, isn't it ?
As for additional optional but useful steps:
a) resize rootfs so your updates will not fail in the future due to the by-default laughably small rootfs overfilling
b) install Google play services in case some of the Android apps you use require them
c) install warehouse to get access to OpenRepos apps
d) install modRana & OSM Scout server from OpenRepos ;-)

Anyway. You say it was easy for you. That either makes you a genius or me an idiot. I can live with both
If your device has its bootloader unlocked BEFORE updating to the latest version of Android, you need to follow OPTION 2 of section 1 in Windows instructions first to update your device using Sony’s flashing tool Emma.

For example, I still do not know "vendor binary images" are and why do I need them. I mean, I am replacing a vendor's binary image (Android) with my own (Sailfish), am I not? So why on earth do I need this? But I guess I do not really need to know that. It's just a black box that I need for some reason. I could do the whole thing again in no time at all if I had to.
