[Q] ROM set conversion - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I flashed my phone to 2.1, but I'd like to revert it to it's original state. I've got a .rar file with the ROM, but it's a .sin_file_set and I don't want to have to buy SETool. Is there a way to get the .sin files out of the 'set' so I can use the other flash tool?
Thanks.

[Q] Different between ROM for xrecovery and .ftf firmware?

This is my question
why all the ROM out there are needed to be flash from xrecovery within the phone itself
Is there any thing like X10i_2.0.2.A.0.24_Generic.ftf?? That flash through USB cable?
Like old time? I flash my k800i and w810i those kind of method (flash via USB)
basically:
xrecovery flash *.img files
flashtool flash *.ftf witch came from *.sin files like the ones you found on SEUS or PCC
you CAN flash SE firmware through xRecovery without using SEUS or PCC but you need to do that in 2/3 or 4 steps.
1. flash phone with SE firmware;
2. backup SE firmware through xRecovery;
3. transform *.img files into something readable on xRecovery so that you can flash a new rom with it.

Can i use LGMDP (with LG-Utils & DZDecryptor) instead of kdz updater

I m afraid of using kdz updater as i bricked my phone once with it.
Now my question is can i use lgmdp instead of kdz updater.
Like i will use "LG-Utils-0.4.2" to extract dz file from stock kdz file,
and use "DZDecryptor" to extract all files from dz file.
Now using Lgmdp and selecting the folder of extracted files from dz file.
Then pressing download.
Will it do the trick, i mean will it erase custom recovery, install stock rom and bring my phone back to warranty.
please help..
is there anyone who can answer my query
Yes you can, its the same, in fact i think its better because you can choose to uncheck recovery and that way you can keep your custom recovery
And i think even there will not be any risk of corrupt kdz files bcoz corrupt kdz files will not be extracted

1. Flash any firmware with version oldest than You had.
2. When You will be able to loauch phone user Root Explorer to edit build.prop files.
3. Modify entries in build.prop to 1249-1255. Save.
4. Shutdown phone and use SEUS to reflash firmware.

Hey you gonna do any dev work on the mini pro?
Reflash with SEUS???
Is it going to be ok? Because I have unlocked the bootloader( without loosing the DRM way) and I am using doomkernel, so it is ok to reflash with SEUS (after I done the other steps you said)?
Thanks my friend

[Q] [QUESTION] How to create a KDZ file?

Good night!
This thread is a "2 questions", really.
I have a D685, know as LG G Pro Lite Dual. I want to try make a custom ROM, but, for now, this model don't have a recovery to flash ROMs, or CWM. It don't have bootloader (wich is locked) or fastboot mode. All it have is a stock recovery, which is nothing but and android opened (the keys do nothing), and a "download mode".
The only ways to flash a ROM into this phone is using LG Mobile Tools (the offline method) in download mode, or official LG Program. With the offline method, we flash a file with a KDZ extension.
I can extract it, it give me a CAB file. When extracted, I have 2 files: a DLL and a BIN file, instead a .DZ or .WDB file. I can't find a program/way/thread to extract the BIN file... anyway to do this?
The intention is get the system.img (or whatever) inside the BIN, cook it, and reflash it. Then, you ask: "How to reflash, if this device don't have a recovery?"
Well, this is my second question! If I can create the KDZ file, maybe I can "integrate" the system.img into the KDZ, and flash using the offline method!
By this way, maybe we can have a recovery and boot images, too... If the BIN file have them, maybe we can cook boot and recovery, too... maybe... All depends what is inside the BIN file, and of course, if we can create or recreate the KDZ and flash it.
Any tips for these questions?
Thanks!
EDIT: we have root, at least. Tried to get boot and recovery with MTK Droid Tools, but the phone don't boot. It gives a security error just after turns on..
