SE X8 Update - Flashtool version 0.6.9.1 - Windows / Linux

Flashtool is a flashing software that can be used to :

1. Flash original Images (Android 1.6, 2.1, 2.3 Images)
2. Root your phone
3. Install Recovery, Busybox, custom kernels
4. Clean your Rom (remove /system/apps apps of your choice) (Be careful, unless you really know what you do, do not modify the default list. This can make your phone stuck at the SE Logo)
5. Clear dalvik cache
6. Optimize (install of JIT v2) (Disabled in 0.4, will readd it as a plugin for 2.1 phones only)
7. Customize (installs apps found in the custom/apps folder of the flashtool)
8. Clean uninstalled (remove any references to system apps removed in the Clean (root needed) step)
9. Edit any text file on the device
10. Rebrand your device  

Before downloading and even installing, disable your antivirus. The package is virus free. Antivirus complains about psneuter and zergRush root exploits and I still haven't found how to fool the antivirus.

To install the Flashtool, follow the steps below:

Windows version :
1. Install the full install Flashtool 0.6.9.1 package
2. Apply the latest update (each update is cumulative)
   Updates will not install if full 0.6.9.1 is not installed

Linux version :
1. Unpack the tar.7z package
2. Check that libusb-1.0 is installed. On 64bits system, both 64bit and 32bit should be installed.
3. Add these rules to /etc/udev :
   SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="add", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0fce", SYSFS{idProduct}=="*", MODE="0777"

 Flashtool can be downloaded on the Flashtool Homepage (on Installation tab)
