Create a folder : .flashTool/mydevices/F51XX/
in the tar file I uploaded, there is a fsc file. Extract it
and copy it here:
.flashTool/mydevices/F51XX/
.flashTool/devices/F51XX/
Then, close flashtool and launch it again and try flashing again
Good luck

I was frustrated looking at programs whose purpose wasn't clearly stated, and instructions which say 'do xyz' but don't state what the purpose is, or what the expected result is.

I wonder if whether it works correctly, fails alltogether to flash or goes to brickloop depends also on the variant existing on the device?
Using the "Xperia Companion" is a no-no since it is a windoze tool.
---------- edit ----------
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...??

Hard to believe that I was just lucky so here is the process that I did with my Xperia and Opensuse PC. Hope I remember it all.
- enabled usb debugging and allowed application install from usb in Xperia original android 7
- downloaded flashtool for linux and applied the update available on the flashtool page
- downloaded Xperia scandinavia image version 6.something from the link I gave earlier
- downloaded madcows DRM backup script
- started root shell with "su - root"
- installed adb with "zypper install android-tools"
- plugged in Xperia
- tested that "adb devices" works
- unplugged Xperia
- shut off Xperia
- held volume down button and plugged in Xperia
- launched Flashtool as root
- browsed and opened the Android 6.x what I just downloaded
- used flash mode
- selected all wipes
- watched it update
- rebooted Xperia, set the new user mandatory settings
- enabled usb debugging and install apps from usb
- executed madcows DRM backup script
Never had a glitch. Did I forget something?
