Research direction

Start by comparing flash-gui.sh and flash.sh, then review the context from issues #613 and #834. Check the open pull request #2076 before starting, since it may already contain the refactoring. Done means the zip hash verification logic has been moved to flash.sh without leaving the intended behavior in flash-gui.sh.
