I have followed the guide up until the point where I am supposed to execute the .bat file. When I do the file runs for a while until it hits this error:
I have it on a usb 2.0 port.
the full log is as follows:
This is a Windows flashing script for Sony Xperia X device.
Power on the device in fastboot mode, by doing the following:
1. Turn off your Xperia.
2. Connect one end of a USB cable to your PC.
3. While holding the volume up button pressed, connect the other end of
the USB cable to your Xperia.
4. After this you should see the blue LED lit on Xperia, and it will be
ready for flashing

Why do you use old sf version? What os have you tried before? Have you changed partition scheme? May be restore vbmeta first, but try another system and other usb ports before…
Sometimes there have been conflicting environment variables defined on Windows computers.
The console printout above shows how three “fastboot flash” commands have succeeded but then the 4th command “fastboot boot” has failed. Would there be a ‘boot’ variable defined somewhere?
How many times have you tried to flash the phone? Perhaps the 4th or 5th attempt would work?
