Long story short, I had some reasons to flash ST15i in past but had never seen this error before.
Log looks like that:

I use the latest version of flashtool, because previous one cannot sync with github what gives me additional errors.
My question is what does that "Not a sin file" error mean and what causes it (except for my inability to see some obvious things).
Thanks in advance.

Did you manage to solve this? Running into the same issue with my ST18i...
