Remember to record exact version if ever intend restoring in future to stock.
Thanks - downgrade completed, TA backed up and bootloader unlocked! SailfishX purchased, read instructions - 'update android before unlocking'

Seems the backup TA windows cmd file has a restore option but the Linux version does not - is there any way to avoid windows and Emma yet?

Edit: Found out if you enable pro mode in XperiaFlashtool you can use it to backup and restore TA, but as I have a .IMG from the script the only option that may work wants me to click twice for each of what looks like hundreds of items and chose between partition 1 or 2 - still quicker than installing windows, if anyone can advise which partition it should be. Seems strange there's a choice...

Thanks Niel, that actually looks like what I've done - great to have it all in one place!

In the comments there's a link to a German site which uses TWRP to restore TA, haven't seen that mentioned yet so I'm hopeful. Will try later...

Feathers_McGraw's Hammerhead Torch from the openrepos works. One in Jolla Store doesn't as it hasn't been updated lately.

The difference between versions is that the latest defaults to Gstreamer to control the led.

Personally I like to use app since you can add the flashlight app to the lockscreen as a shortcut.

(I also find it ugly and confusing how SailfishOS has quick controls behind only one of the screens in the carousel, and not both, so I keep those disabled.)

yep, but according to mwc2018 screenshots of sfos3, this will be unified finally and quick controls + ambiance switcher will become one.

Since SF X uses android's .so's from /odm/lib*, did anybody look into using android's anti-DRM trick via LD_PRELOAD, so camera would be thinking the phone is not unlocked?

PS Seems like updating removed a patch allowing to lower notification volume. Does anybody remember what app from openrepos was that?

Thanks for your replies, I managed to get a new black xperia and have installed sailfish OS OK. It was a bit frustrating, the driver from the Sony website did not work for me and eventually I found one on a forum that did work.
I am a bit annoyed about the quality of the camera photos tho. I read somewhere that there is no urgency to fix this. As others have stated, there are a basics that should always work well and I would have thought camera would have been one of them, Certainly seems weird they are trying to get this OS out there but they almost seem sluggish to do anything about these issues. I acquired the OS thru a VPN, so normally I wouldn't have access to it. Maybe they have been focusing on Sailfish 3? Hope Sailfish 3 is out asap.
Also I loved the N9, simple system, I get a bit annoyed by pulley menus as it takes extra actions and makes it seem more complicated in my view. It is certainly not as simple and elegant as Meego was, which is a pity.
