Don't jump to conclusions.

Those devices have all been built for by the community in the same style as the Xperia X and so allowing them to be easily flashed is just a nice thing for them to do.

First of all, "whining" is a rather provocative term: it is a legitimate concern, triggered by comments made by the person who is in charge of Jolla communications.

That recent image will be flashed by Emma and can be flashed by (inofficial) Linux-only tools, too.

The requirement is simply spoken to have a current Qualcom baseband and other device blobs in place to run SFOS X as a common base for all official images flashed to the device. Otherwise some might have MM (32.0.x) blobs installed leading to a faulty device with official image.

OK - let's see if I have understood correctly what you mean. You are saying that the purpose of Emma in this process is only to ensure that there are no MM blobs on the target device? It seems to me that this doesn't apply to a device with a locked bootloader and an official Sony build, because in that case MM can be upgraded to Nougat OTA without using any tools at all. In that case, why not make the requirement that the device has a locked bootloader and an official Sony build, fully updated? An unlocked bootloader can be relocked, and anyone who has flashed a non-Sony build is quite capable of reflashing back to a Sony one before relocking.

I am not a real expert here, and I am happy to be corrected if I have got this all wrong, but I am having trouble reconciling what you wrote with the following statements from James Noori:

So for further clarification (and maybe to repeat myself), the current official requirement from Sony is that everyone should use Emma tool in order to flash their devices.

If I can't flash firmware using Linux it is over for me with ANY Sony device.

Its simple:

They can go **** themselfs.

**** those big corporations I should have learnt from history....

Jolla should have learnt too they should have supported FP2 ****ing *****s.
