My attempts to install Sailfish on my Xperia is currently foiled at the last step. Unlocking the bootloader and all the rest of it worked fine. Emma also works and I updated Android with it up to the latest version (34.2.A.0.333). However, flash-on-windows tells me: "The Sony Android version on your device is too old, please update your device..." But, as said, Android is the latest version according to both Emma and the update tool in the phone.

Is there a way to return to an older version of Android? Tried doing a factory reset, but it doesn't affect the build version.

Here's the current build in more detail according to Emma

Software: Application Software: 1300-4911 34.2.A.0.333

Customization: CDF: 1302-3140 R6C

Additional information: Activated: Yes

You are indeed using an old Android version. You need at least version 34.3.A.0.228 in order to flash Sailfish OS. Since your device is already unlocked, you have to download and install the latest software version with the Emma tool.

See 'OPTION 2' in Jolla's instructions: https://jolla.com/sailfishx-windows-instructions/

Except that like I said, according to both the OTA in the phone as well as Emma, that is the latest version - no other updates are available

there maybe no update for your customization variant, but you should be able to install another (newer) variant with emma.
