At least for me that image did not work under Linux. Always stucking on either reading device infromation, or that the flashscript was not found.

What horror. I think I will not have the stomach to try under Windows and experience it's little quirks just to get DRM keys backed up.

The one I referred to worked. I used Linux version of the flash tool.

Christ almighty, I managed to flash it using flashtool after installing the patch x10flasher.jar from here:

http://www.flashtool.net/downloads_linux.php

Unfortunately the result is garbage. The phone first booted and complained that some media service has stopped. And after that it boots into distorted image and reboots all over again.

Flasher showed these warnings:

apps_log is excluded from bundle
diag is excluded from bundle
ssd is excluded from bundle
Qnovo is excluded from bundle
persist is excluded from bundle
userdata is excluded from bundle
Unit 2212 not found in bundle
Unit 2550 not found in bundle
Unit 2553 not found in bundle

I'll try again to flash but this seems painful

I tried with Wipe on all options, to no avail.

I flashed 7.1.1 again on it. At least the device now boots, but it's giving me "com.android.phone has stopped" error all the time. Oh well, waiting for Sailfish.

OK, now it is decided, I'll pass the hopeless DRM backup thing, request device unlock keys from Sony and I hope the SFOS image is available for purchase tomorrow.

What I absolutely don't understand is why the XDA forum guys who undeniably must be android hackers of some reputation put up using windoze for development environment... and the tools they create are this kind of java-crap!

What a world...
