I believe the nrfutil.exe file bundled together with nRFGo Studio is quite old and might not work anymore. Can you try to follow this guide?

Then i have created my own application zip file using following command "C:\Program Files (x86)\Nordic Semiconductor\nRFgo Studio\nrfutil.exe" dfu genpkg --application nrf52832_xxaa.hex --application-version 0xff --dev-revision 1 --dev-type 1 --sd-req 0xfffe BLE.zip

But when i select this zip file in nordic toolbox android app and select device click on upload it connecting and again discconect and show error message is "Remote DFU invalid CRC error" in nRF ToolBox. why it so how i can resolve this issue please tell me. even when i select test zip file is given in sdk is successfully upload. but my own application zip not upload. let me know sir....

I suggest that you take a look at one of the DFU bootloader examples in our latest SDK. They should all support GCC.

I don't quite understand what you mean. These two sentences contradict each other:

"I want flash my updated program into my nordic device without open this device via BLE services."

"By using same apps is it possible to update my program via android apps."

Do you want to upgrade your firmware over the air? Then you should look at DFU. We also have some Android and iOS apps on github.
