Hmm, but what about the blobs itself?
When flashing the community build I used SW_binaries_for_Xperia_AOSP_M_MR1_3.10_v12_loire.z ip, but now the recommended one is: SW_binaries_for_Xperia_AOSP_M_MR1_3.10_v13_loire.z ip?
v12 vs v13?

Use the normal blob img file (the one I linked in the guide) in combination with these instructions.

You need to boot onto Android once. That's very important. I had same problem than you ;)

Re: [UNOFFICIAL GUIDE] Flash Sailfish X using Linux or MacOS

Currently in the final step: sudo ./flash.sh
Detected Linux
Searching device to flash..
Found device with vendor id '0fce': Bus 001 Device 023: ID 0fce:adde Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB C2005 (Xperia M dual) in service mode
Fastboot command: fastboot -i 0x0fce

How long is it supposed to be? (15 minutes so far)

(...) Aborted :-(
Phone still running Android.

(...) Retrying after pressing volume up a bit longer than before. Blue LED instead of green. Now flashing. Phone rebooted as SFOS (Without a SIM card, as the required size is now even smaller.)

Thanks a lot, Jakibaki!

You're my hero. Worked great! Thank you so much!

Re: [UNOFFICIAL GUIDE] Flash Sailfish X using Linux or MacOS

Thanks jakibaki!

Flashed a F5122 from Linux and seems to working well :-)

If you didn't run ota while on an official sony rom in the last few days you'll need to install the update. It enables a special partition to be written to from fastboot-mode which is needed to install sailfish-x. (there is a workaround but this way is much easier)

Hi jakibaki,

What do you mean by « (there is a workaround but this way is much easier) ».

Also, I own a F5122 (double sim), I am running build n° 34.3.A.0.238, so it look like it is at the right level of build.

Is there a way to just verify the special partition exist on my device, before engaging the process to flash SFOS for X ?

Regards,

COLIN Stéphane

Download and extract the .img file from here, enter fastboot mode and then cd to the folder where you downloaded that image and run

Code:

sudo fastboot flash oem SW_binaries_for_Xperia_AOSP_M_MR1_3.10_v13_loire.img

If it runs without an error that means that the partition is properly writable.

Download and extract the .img file from here, enter fastboot mode and then cd to the folder where you downloaded that image and run

Code:

sudo fastboot flash oem SW_binaries_for_Xperia_AOSP_M_MR1_3.10_v13_loire.img

So if this works we don't need EMMA for the official build?

You don't need emma for the official build at all (that's the whole point of this guide).
If this works you can just skip the flashtool step of the guide.
