What I want to say is: If you use Linux, there's no need to search for a Windows computer to use XperiFirm in. Install the Linux version and, if it runs, use it! It can't hurt your computer or your Xperia X in any way, as its only purpose is to download the firmwares.

Well apologizes for that. I swear I wrote Wine .
Yes Wine (mono) will work (I use that also)
Personally I prefer that, since Linux is just better for everything imaginable when it comes to play with this.

And very exciting it is too!

Seems to work really nicely - based on a few minutes playing I'd be tempted to stick it in my pocket and go out for the day.

As expected : no BT, terminal is slow.

Less expected : Camera app seems flaky - hung a couple of times. Autofocus at macro range is borked. Pulls in to excellent focus, pauses, then goes out of focus before taking the shot.

Totally Unexpected : Recognises a usb memory stick plugged into the X. Doesn't mount as exfat is unrecognised filesystem, but thats just a setup issue

Just to note : No double tap to wake. Camera h/w button inop. Couldn't mount sdcard formatted as vfat or ext4

I can add, GPS is not working. Phone is already pleasant to use. No SIM card until now here, since I have no nanoSIM available

Well, it might have to do with the SFOS version 2.1.1.26 being obsolete for the X?

download
https://github.com/EpicAOSP/make_ext...in/make_ext4fs
https://developer.sonymobile.com/dow...w-6-0-1-loire/

and place in same folder as flash.sh

run flash.sh and follow instructions, you need to also download this and place it in same folder

happy flashings, major disclaimers if it breaks :P

... the make_ext4fs did not work for me on debian stretch 64bit. I took the one from the debian package "android-tools-fsutils".

Sure this makes sense to some extracted from flash.sh

HTML Code:

MAKE_EXT4FS=make_ext4fs

if [ ! -f "$MAKE_EXT4FS" ]; then
  echo "Please download the '$MAKE_EXT4FS' binary tool supplied by Jolla into this directory"
  echo "or build one yourself:"
  echo "git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/extras"
  echo "cd extras/ext4_utils"
  echo "git checkout 67bf7cb2c7487b2a93af8e2d9903842e8fe51f69 -b no-android-deps"
  echo "gcc [^se]*.c sha1.c sparse_crc32.c ext4_utils.c extent.c -o $MAKE_EXT4FS -lz"
  echo "cp $MAKE_EXT4FS $(pwd)"
  echo "cd $(pwd)"
  exit 1

I got Xperia x to my hands today.
Not paid tooo much attention to all specs before, so realised only now that there is NFC. Any info if it will it be ok with Sailfish?

The hardware is fast and nice! Just waiting to get SF to it.

My first post with Sony X and SFOS. I am a little bit disappointed coming from a Nexus 5 with SFOS.

Overall speed doesnt seem to be better than the Nexus 5, apps are starting slowly, battery life is good so far, camera as indicated above instable regarding focus, i miss the Jolla store, videos on websites have audio only.

I think many issues might be related to the specific build, lets wait for Jolla.

...of course we all have to wait for the official x release, but that will not stop us from trying.
