With your help we've identified the issue with certain Xperia XA2 family devices entering a boot loop after flashing.
We apologise for this oversight that hadn't occurred in many of the devices we tested internally.
To attempt to fix this issue swiftly, we recommend you to execute commands below in the folder where you extracted your Sailfish image:
Linux / macOS
Ensure your fastboot version contains the set_active
command (check via fastboot -h
).
If not, try to obtain a binary that has (e.g. from here), or resort to the Windows method where we supply fastboot.exe in the image.
Execute the following:
sudo fastboot set_active _a
If above command fails with Could not get suffixes.
, try:
sudo fastboot set_active a
Upon success, execute:
sudo fastboot reboot
If you no longer get a bootloop, but still get stuck on the Sony logo, reflash with ./flash.sh
Windows
Press WinKey+R
In the Run dialog, enter cmd
<enter></enter>
Type cd
and then paste the address to your Sailfish folder (as per step 3.2 of the Sailfish X Windows Instructions)
Execute the following:
fastboot.exe set_active _a
If above command fails with Could not get suffixes.
, try:
fastboot.exe set_active a
Upon success, execute:
fastboot.exe reboot
If you no longer get a bootloop, but still get stuck on the Sony logo, reflash with flash-on-windows.bat
Thank you for your patience and support!
