I just received an invitation to use part of my remaining tablet funds to redeem a Sailfish X voucher. I imagine all of the tablet backers will be receiving one of these soon.

What wronng with using The officially Android flashtool used by fp2 and other Open Android Phone!?
This is stupid discussion btw since People here often whines about openess and in The same time accept Windows as The only officially Flash your Phone lol...
After all, 99.999999% of all sattelite receiveres are way more linux than any phone and yet, there's no linux channel editor. At least I never found one.

Sorry to be sound stupid but just trying to get my head around all of this.
We need to use EMMA tool to flash Xperia X with a sony android image that is more open than the one installed. After which you use the flash script to flash SFOS onto it?

Is it just me or the device showed at the end of the YT vidz posted on the jolla blog is way too big for being a simple Xperia X ?

So... As I have a US Xperia X, do you think if I buy the image (someone from Europe will buy for me), it will detect if my device is not from Europe and won't let me install it? Hope not

Whether you flash it with Linux, or Windows, or a washing machine running some UNIX derivative... you are still flashing binary blobs, which are closed software that you have no access to, and have absolutely no control over. What's more, none of the blobs are open sourced or available to public scrutiny.
That said, why are you so intent on repeating the same tired diatribe about openness? If you don't want to flash the software with Windows, don't. But, please, stop filling up these threads with the same sensationalist nonsense.

The (pretty much universal) fastboot mode and a more "powerful" sony-specific flash-mode.
There is a special partition on which Jolla is supposed to put the xperia-x blobs on (closed source drivers, which are unfortunately necessary on all current smartphones).
This special partition is by default not writable in fastboot mode.
So Sony is providing an update that enables this special partition to be written using fastboot.
This update can only officially be installed using emma, the flash-tool by Sony (which works with the sony-specific flash-mode).
After that the blobs can be written to the special partition in fastboot-mode.
That is the official ways of doing things; there are ways around the requirement of emma by writing the speical partition while the phone is booted up or in recovery-mode but these are unofficial for now.
