EDIT: unless you're talking about Sony's official flashtool called Emma. But that doesn't even support the Xperia X. The other flashtool that was around before Sony's tool is the one I was talking about.
yeah am on about emma...I think? I dunno anymore

For Arch Linux, there's a xperia-flashtool package on AUR, which includes both the Flashtool and XperiFirm.
Well, you can get xperifirm to run under wine also.
It is still Windows though.
So, everyday users is better off using Windows.

No?

The official thread on XDA explicitly mentions Linux and OS X support. Also, Mono and Wine are two completely different things!

You are not running a Windows software on Linux. The software was developed to be cross platform.

That’s utter BS, it’s quite the opposite.
PS! I know what Iam talking about, I used to work together with Xperia team on XDA (when I was participating in unlocking the boot loader of Xperia play )
See screenshot from that page.

Well, if you "used to work together with Xperia team on XDA", I will shut up. I have nothing more than a superficial knowledge of Mono/Wine, and I just came here to correct your statement that XperiaFirm was only available for Windows and one would need to run Windows to use it, as I knew it was not true, because I use it on my Linux machine.

I also said it will run under Wine (yes, needs proper config)
It is, however, a Windoze app!
So I repeat, for everyday user. Windoze is easier.

Well, you said, and I quote:

I don't see a mention of Wine.

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.
