Using the "Xperia Companion" is a no-no since it is a windoze tool.

I kind of thought the whole point of flashing a device that has a locked bootloader is to do it so that only official Sony-signed images can be flashed... so either it flashes or not but is impossible to brick...??

Not impossible to brick, that’s for sure.
I see ppl mentioning setting “wipe all”, that’s usually not necessary. Not entirely sure if that’s the issue, but it very well could be.
It might, more likely, be differences in hw revisions . Slight changes in design or even different chipsets.
I think it’s important feedback for the porters, and really suggest to join IRC channel to involve the porters. And Jolla.
