Flashtool is a S1 flashing software that works for all Sony phones from X10 to Xperia Z Ultra. They all use the S1 protocol for flashing firmwares. This program was originally made to flash sin files downloaded by SEUS or PCC. Based on a command line tool written by Bin4ry (Andreas Makris), I brought a user interface to sin files flashing.

SmartPhone FlashTool is completely a desktop program that supports through Windows PC and Linux operating systems. So to make use of SP Flash, a Desktop is a must with installing the correct drivers. Androxyde had worked on incorporating all the drivers right inside flashtool and we have been suppling them as 'Flashtool-driver.exe' with.

We worked together to add more features to the tool such as rooting methods implementation or TA backup / restore Then I took the lead and got some advice and help from him occasionally on some features like rom cleaner or bootloader unlocking.

But flashing firmwares is still the core of Flashtool (that is updated at least to follow Sony improvements around sin files) and the reason of its name. Flashtool can also easily unlock the bootloader of the phone using the BLU icon as far as the bootloader of your phone is unlockable The flashing feature as well as bootloader unlock feature are available whatever the phone is recognized or not by the application. What is only mandatory for flashing is to own the FTF file according to the device you want to flash it on.
