No that is not recommended. It is recommended to start the device in Android once and connect to Wifi and Mobile networks to make sure that the hardware is working and do maybe initial setup of the hardware and drivers itself.

What does this mean: "do maybe initial setup of the hardware and drivers itself."

That's up to your personal level of paranoia. ;)

Neither SIM nor SD card should be affected by the flasher, so there's no need to remove them. But if you are paranoid, removing the SD card ensures your data will survive any mishap.

I had a problem with my sim card in Xperia X when I flashed the os for the first time without sim. In the end I had to re-flash it with sim car in it to fix the problem. As far as I know it is also recommended to flash your device with sim card inside.

@sepuka : If you want to change operator and get a new SIM card, do you have flash Sailfish again to your phone?

Hi! I hope this weekend can flash Sailfish in my Xperia XA2 :) I'll report you the result :) Thanks! P.S-How many time is neccesary in the proccess to flash the OS?

If you have all the files ready and phone charged you'll likely spend more time reading.as unlocking and flashing itself takes only a few minutes on my computer.

OK! Thanks!
