One-click tools are famous for providing easy solutions to complicated guides and methods in just a few clicks. There is one such tool available for Sony Xperia devices as well. It makes flashing stock images (firmwares) and performing a few tweaks so easy.
Flashtool for Sony Xperia devices allows you to install stock firmwares, root your Sony Xperia phone, flash a custom recovery etc. in just a few clicks for an app built for Windows. This small tool offers a number of features for almost all the Sony Xperia Android phones.
