Sony is steadily emerging as one of the most developer friendly handset makers, though on the other hand they’re far from being the fastest company to bring the latest Android software updates.
The company’s latest gig involves releasing their own Flash Tool that allows users to flash stock ROMs and return devices back to factory settings, at any time and from any state. It does its magic by downloading your phone’s stock ROM from Sony’s server, flashing it to your phone in a single move.
There’s catch, however, as only folks with unlocked bootloaders can use it – but then again, this is usually the crowd that hacks and mods their devices anyway. You won’t be able to flash custom ROMs onto your Sony phone using this tool, and that’s kinda expected since the company wants you to use their own software after all…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
