  Flashtool is one of the most useful pieces of third-party software to help upgrade/downgrade or change regional firmware for Sony Xperia devices. Developer Androxyde has updated the utility to version 0.9.25.0 which adds support for 2018 Sony Xperia handsets, including the Xperia XZ2 and XA2 range.    A word of warning if you already have existing FTF firmware files though, they will not work in this latest version of Flashtool. You will need to recreate the FTF firmware file with version 0.9.25.0 of Flashtool. You can download the latest version of Flashtool here .   Do you Know about Flashtool? Click Here .

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 This program was originally made to flash sin files downloaded by SEUS or PCC.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. 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. From time to time, sin files have been bundled into what is now well known FTF (Flash Tool Firmwares) and more features have been implemented. 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...

This update is said to include new features currently present in Inbox, such as smart replies and the ability to snooze emails. The update will also bring Gmail up to date with Google’s rapidly changing design languages, and will incorporate aspects of material design as well as Google’s new bubble design.   After we posted that report, a trusted source offered to let us see the Google redesign early. The new design we received supports the claims of features like smart replies and email snoozing, and enables a sidebar of plugins that give you easy access to different Google apps like Calendar and Keep.   What’s more interesting, is that Google looks to be completely refreshing Tasks for the masses. This is essentially a To-Do list which can be built directly into your Gmail window to help keep you on track with your goals for the day. Tasks was previously built into Gmail already, but the UI hadn’t been updated since the dark ages, so this to...

Apple has finally released the iTunes app on the Microsoft Store, formerly the Windows Store app store. Microsoft, at its Build conference held last year, had announced plans to add iTunes to the Microsoft Store. While some Windows users were highly anticipating the debut of iTunes, Apple in December 2017 said that iTunes will not be available in the Microsoft Store that year. The iTunes app on the Microsoft Store is similar to the regular iTunes, but now installation updates will be handled through the Microsoft Store updater rather than through Apple. Notably, the app will only run on Windows 10 PCs with either x86 or x64 architectures. The arrival of iTunes also ensures the software's compatibility with Windows 10 S mode, a more secure version meant for schools and other establishments that runs apps downloaded only from the Windows Store. With the advent of the new education-focused Windows 10 S, developers are being encouraged to flock to the Windows Store to make...

The next major update for Windows 10 is supposed to hit sometime this month, though one of the questions that has yet to be answered is what exactly will it be called? We know have an answer. While still not officially announced, it appears that Microsoft has officially moved on from calling it the Spring Creators Update and will instead simply refer to the next major release as the Windows 10 April Update. That is based on a new RTM (Release To Manufacturing) build that Microsoft recently pushed out to all rings of the Windows Insider program. Otherwise known as Redstone 4, Microsoft Edge gains a server-side update in the new build, and when fired up, it loads a 'welcome' page hosted on MSN that says, "Welcome to the April update," which you can see in the image below: The welcome page promotes a few new features of the April Update, such as being able to resume past activities in timeline and the ability to share files with nearby devices.
