[Tool] [Windows] Makes flashing quick and easy!

With Google releasing monthly patches (which I believe is a good thing!), it's become a bit of a chore to install updates, especially so if, like me, you have a modified device stopping you installing OTA updates.
I wanted to do something to make it a bit quicker, so I made Nexus Flash! I guess you can think of it as minimal ADB & Fastboot packaged with a GUI.

I've decided I don't like the GUI layout, and I'm pretty sure most will agree, so I've already started working a new layout, bug fixes, and adding some extra features which I'm sure some may find helpful like an update manager (so you don't have to go to Github every time there's a new version), another example is a way to boot an image file too, for instance, Chainfire's CF-Auto-Root.

Currently, there isn't much validation of user input, so please only use it as intended for now. It shouldn't break your device if you don't use it correctly since ADB has built in measures to validate files to some degree at least.
However, I have to say, this program is provided without ANY warranty or guarantee. Using this program is at your own risk. I have tested this on my own Nexus 5X and it works perfectly.

The source code is released under the GNU GPL (General Public Licence) and can be found on Github.

Nexus Flash Steps

Prerequisites for Windows:
  1. You'll need the .Net framework 4.5.2 installed (Windows 10 already has this).

Prerequisites for Android device:
  1. Your device must have an unlocked bootloader.
  2. You must have USB debugging enabled.
  3. You'll also need the Android ADB USB drivers installed too.
Guides can be easily found by searching for them, there's plenty of them around! :)
