I bought an Xperia 10 i4113 for the sole purpose of running sailfish. I have no other uses for it. Of course I had to try it out first, and of course I installed the updates. That just what you do. Today I made the decision to get it done, so I payed for the download sailfishX and started reading the instructions, which unlike the supported devices list I might ad, mentions quite clearly that you should not upgrade to Android 10, though nothing about what to do if you have done so. The solutions seem to downgrade by dubious means, which is further hindred by the small fact that I do now run Windose, for much the same reasons that I do not want to run Android, which seems to be required.
So, now I'd very much like to know what to do. Obviously I do not want a refund, as I have no other uses for the phone, as it's a downgrade compared to my current phone, I just want a solution, which shouldn't be too hard, as this has most certainly happened before.
Thanks in advance and best regards.
NB. I have not categorized as both bug and feature request by accident.

I have not categorized as both bug and feature request by accident.Edit: I finally got windows 10 up and running. Yes, I installed windows 7 first, because that's what I've got, but that of course won't do. Windows 8.1 or higher is requiret. sigh
Anyway, installed Emma and well... I have to say that either I'm a blithering idiot, or this particular tool is utterly useless.
Moving on to second flashtool suggested, hoping to have better luck with that.

Edit 2: I think I've done it. There's still a lot of testing to be done, but I think it works. God that was frustrating.
