Sony releases flash tool for Xperia devices to load stock software on compatible devices

Sony has released an app that can be used to load Sony’s own builds of Android on compatible Xperia devices.

The company said that this tool is aimed at users who have rooted their devices to install custom ROMs.

They can switch back to Sony’s own builds using this app. the company said:

At Sony, we have been supporting the custom ROM community for a long time, and our unlock boot loader service is very popular. We know that many of you are advanced users, who like to try out different ROMs on your Xperia™ smartphones. But until now, there has been no way to go from a custom ROM to Sony software. We are proud to provide high quality, stable software for our phones, and with this new flash tool, you can now flash standard Sony software on a Sony Xperia™ smartphone which has the boot loader unlocked. However, please note that the boot loader of your phone still stays unlocked.

They are supporting a limited number of devices right now and the app itself is in beta.
