PREMESSA:
Flashtool è lo strumento per eccellenza degli Xperia Android (quindi a partire dall'X10) che consente di eseguire operazioni di modding o di installare strumenti sull'S utili per il modding, in modo molto semplice e alla portata di tutti.
Continui aggiornamenti aggiungono funzioni e compatibilità varie con nuovi device che, per chi vuole personalizzare ulteriormente il proprio Xperia, diventano delle agevolazioni nelle procedure, semplici e funzionali.
