I can confirm that flashing this image via the open source flashtool unlocks the oem partition for fastboot flashing!
So no requirement for emma at all and flashing Sailfish X on Linux/macOS will most likely just be a matter of updating using flashtool and replacing the flash.bat with this flash.sh!
Thanks

I have to admit that at first I attemped to only partially update the firmware (get the fastboot update without overwriting Sailfish OS) which only kinda worked: The partition was writable after the update and Sailfish OS still booted but it broke the Wifi and Modem so I must have overwritten a wrong partition.
So I had to flash the full android update and then reflash Sailfish OS which fixed everything.

Anyway, one question remains to me : I thought Sony updated how their partition was, to enable partner , and the first one Jolla, to write their own image without touching the blobs.
so, does it mean that they release a new 7.1.1 android image recently to fulfil this needs ?

Another thing, in the sailfishX image, will it have a linux flash script ? Or will we need to create one ?

I don't think the sailfish-x build will ship with the flash.sh but simply using this one which is in the same folder as the flash.bat in the repo should most likely work with no/only minor modification

Just to go a step forward...
Do you think it will be possible a multirom to get both official Android and official Sailfish on the Xperia X ?
That way I could avoid Android App on Sailfish side and swith to Android OS only twice per year when required some Android app.

I can only lay my hands on the dual SIM version and frankly I do have user scenario's for dual SIM phones.
Edit: found this answer by James Noori on Sailfish X blog: 25 Sept 2017:
Unfortunately there are possible issues with the modem of the device if you have the dual-sim version. Depending on your SIM card, it may or may not work and unfortunately we don’t currently have a way of telling what the issue is. Other than that the rest of the OS should work similarly but because of that critical issue we do not officially recommend anyone to buy or stay with F5122.
Instead of 2 SIM in the possible future it means possibly no SIM at present
