Revision history [back]

Dear Sailfish-friends,

After 2 days preparation and thorough research, I reached the final step of flashing Sailfish X onto my just acquired Xperia X. I followed mostly the great guidance on sailfishmods.de and later on the official windows instructions to copy sailfish onto my device.

Beforehand, I updated the f5121 with Emma to 34.3.A.0.252. I ran everything from a virtual windows machine in parallels.

I launched the flash-on-windows.bat and everything seems to run smoothly. However, I notice that the input for userdata (sailfish.img001) is detected, but not copied. The log looks like this:

MD5SUM 'b642400e50753be51c3fb92d4bb04c99' match for file 'sailfish.img001'.
C:\Users\Sigma\Sailfish\SailfishOS-2.1.3.7-f5121-0.0.1.18>fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce flash userdata sailfish.img001
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
erasing 'userdata'...
OKAY [  0.201s]
sending sparse 'userdata' 1/1 (0 KB)...
OKAY [  0.024s]
writing 'userdata' 1/1...
OKAY [  0.014s]
finished. total time: 0.245s

The preceding fastboot flash system fimage.img001 is executed properly and split into two transfers, subsequent fastboot flash oem %blobfilename% runs fine as well (which caused issues when I tried to flash an android version that was not flashed with emma).

How can I transfer the userdata into the sailfish system? (: As of now it's a brick that restarts in a loop after showing the sony logo for few seconds
