I have everything ready to go for my Sailfish X install. Just one question before I do:
Is it possible to re-install Android after flashing with Sailfish X? Not that I plan to, but I'd like to know I have a get out plan if needs be. If so, are there any instructions anywhere? Can't find anything so far.
Thanks

If you want to fully restore your phone back to the original condition you have to make a backup of your TA parttition before unlocking your bootloader. instructions howto do that can be found Xperia X: backup TA partition before unlocking bootloader

Yes, tried several roms on the Xperia X in combination with TWRP (recovery software). In the beginning I had some troubles going back to stock, because I could not find the original rom and did not no the existence of Emma. With Emma I succeeded to go back to stock. There is another way with xperifirm (Availible on XDA) and flashtool but not tried that. (typed on my Xperia X with Sailfish X)

I don't see why not. I played extensively with Cyanogenmod on Android some years ago. I had a library of different OS'es and worked my way through all of them, when I got fed up, I went back to my original stock Android version, admittedly this was on a Samsung S2. Essentially, it is the same thing with Sailfish on SonyX - I doubt very much that you cannot go back to your old OS - we would have seen the uproar from the community if that were the case, but by all means, don;t be guided by what I've said, even though I think the answer will be a solid "of course you can" from those who really know their onions!
