This is a short write up on how you install Sailfish X. It's how I did it and since I didn't encounter any problems It has no warnings regarding such. Hope it helps someone. :)

Installing Sailfish X from Linux takes no time at all as long as you have a working email and can access USB ports with you user.

Prepping for flashing

1. step one download every thing: https://shop.jolla.com/downloads/ and https://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/software-binaries/software-binaries-for-aosp-marshmallow-android-6-0-1-kernel-3-10-loire/
2. unzip the two archives and place the content of the Sony one into the folder unziped from the Jolla one.
3. install android-tools. This differs between distro but if you can't find it in the official repository the search engine of your choice will probably find a repo you can ad to solve this. Then the usual apt-get/dnf/pacman/emerge/etc magic for installation.

Unlocking the bootloader

https://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/ This link will explain how to get your unlock code. Then you must turn off your Xperia X and hold volume up at the same time as you plug it into the USB cord already connected to you computer. If a blue led shines after a quick visit of a red one and the screen is still black, then you're in fastboot mode.

Now.

1. open a terminal and run "fastboot devices" if anything shows you're connected.
   • If not you need to solve this before continuing. Try searching for who to configure fastboot on your distro.
2. Now run "fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xYourUnlockCodeHere" and wait until it's done, it'll tell you.
   • YourUnlockCodeHere should be replaced by your unlock code
3. Now your phone is unlocked. Keep it plugged in.

Flashing

1. If the unlocking above went well and you kept your phone connected this will take no time at all.
2. open a terminal change directory to the folder unziped from the Jolla archive.
3. run "./flash.sh" When asked for your password give it.
4. Looking at the script this should work on both mac and linux
5. Wait till it's done.
6. Done, disconnect your phone and boot it up. It will complain about an unlocked bootloader but that will pass.

This was done from a Gentoo Laptop but shouldn't be much different on other distros.

Possible problems:

• Your user isn't in the "usb" group (can be named differently on other distros).
• The flash.sh isn't marked executable.
• You don't have the drivers you need.

Flashing

1. If the unlocking above went well and you kept your phone connected this will take no time at all.
2. open a terminal and change directory to the folder unziped from the Jolla archive.
3. run bash ./flash.sh this might also need sudo privileges and will either ask you for your password or fail. If it fails run sudo bash ./flash.sh.
   • Looking at the script this should work on both mac and linux
4. Wait till it's done.
5. Done, disconnect your phone and boot it up. It will complain about an unlocked bootloader but that will pass.

This wiki was originally done with a Gentoo Laptop but shouldn't be much different on other distros.

Possible problems:

• Your user isn't in the "usb" group (can be named differently on other distros).
• The flash.sh isn't marked executable.
• You don't have the drivers you need.

Flashing without having the latest OTA update on your Xperia X see this comment below or research a more complete guide, for both mac and linux, here at an external site.
