Flashtool Release Notes * 0.9.16 - Devices are now synced directly from github devices repository. As soon as a new device is added to the repository, all 0.9.16 users will have it locally. - Switched to Java8 - In Devices menu->Manage : You can now add updateurl and edit CDFID to check for each device where updateurl exists. - Advanced -> Trim Area menu reworked to be more clear (S1 Dump not intended to be restored) - In the device specific menu, added an entry to run service menu on phone * 0.9.11 - This version is a big split with every previous ones. And not fully featured as previous can be. I changed the UI framework from Swing to SWT because of a better integration with Mac UI. Here is what is missing from previous releases : - No multilingual UI - No recovery installer - No kernel installer (for 2010 devices) - No ROM cleaner. - Cannot Add/Edit/Remove devices. - No TA hex editor (in pro mode) - Version fully compatible with all 2013 devices (Z/ZL/Tablet Z etc etc) - Unified Bootloader unlock feature with the new BLU icon. No more unlock plugin. As for flashing, BLU is available even without any connected device, even with unrecognized devices. - Updated SuperSU package. Added servicemnu root hack (works with Z/ZL for all FW up to .434) Known working for Xperia T/V too - Added TA partition backup/restore. Using this feature, you can backup TA before unlock. Restore TA will relock the devicee and get DRM back as well as BE2 (full complete relock). You cannot count on this feature if ever your device is already unlocked. Missuse of this feature can brick the device.
