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

30/011/2018 02:11:35 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
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.
