Recently I flashed my Xperia X with SailfisOS from XDA-Sources. Good to know that it worked without any problems. However, the used image does not have aliendalvik, nor did I manage to integrate an SD card properly. I have flashed it back to Android with the help of xperia-flashtool (archlinux sources in AUR). This has also worked without any problems. Without guaranteeing that this will also be successful for others, I wanted to report on the successful way there and back.

Ok great, but why back to android? ;)

To remove the unlocked / untrusted bootloader hint, this might be helpful (not tested).

@tortoisedoc: The image used is, as it is, not ready for daily use. It is suitable for developers, less for users like me (sd-card, aliendalvik, issues on dav). I also wanted to test on an old, worn out Xperia to see if there is a way back before I destroy a new one.

Have you also restored the DRM Keys?

Doesn't above hint to remove unlocked/untrusted bootloader refer specifically to Motorola devices, as not quite same upon Xperia ones?link text
