I did all the parts and had no problems whatsoever, untill i had done them all.

Once I finished all steps and tried to boot to sailfish (and if i still try) this is what happens:
1. power on
2. scary varranty void message
3. ubiboot screen
4. press Sailfish logo
5. screen goes black and STAYS black

But the phone is still on, or atleast I think it is because when I press the lock/power button the charge light doesn't go on. If I press the power button for a longer time the phone powers off, and the charge light flashes if I press the power button.

I can still boot normally to Harmattan by pressing the meego logo.

Any idea what could be the source to the problem? Or should i just try again from the start?

remove your /sailfish dir and try extracting again. worked for me

And be patient.. There is no boot logo and booting will take some time

It should take a couple of minutes at most to boot, if it takes longer something is broken.
Probably you messed up extracting the FS image.

most of peoples forgot using --numeric-owner when extracting image

Removed the dir, tried extracting again, but this time (or I missed it the first time) it gave me "invalid tar magic error". So I downloaded the sailfish.tar.bz2 again, and extracted again, and now it boots to Sailfish. Thank you.

I hate the fact that if battery drained you had too force charging via flasher.

Is there anyway invoke flasher without reflash kernel/image etc?

I some kind of "diagnostic mode" in flasher where it just charging phone to 10% and then boot sailfishos normally.

none of that in flasher.

You could invoke flasher to charge to 10% then cancel the flashing procedure and manually power off, then on the handset.

But no way without flasher.

Yes. That is what I heard, too.
Not yet the need to confirm it myself.
