Hi,
i modded the flasher it should work now for Minis too.
so please somebody upload the 3!!!! Files from Seus DB Folder of the 2.1 Nordic Rom for X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro.
If you do so i can decrypt them an upload it together with a flashtool for you.
Best Regards
Bin4ry
With the new SEUS update , those 3 files are impossible to take ( correct me if im wrong )... can you tell which files exactly ? I'll upload..
Thanks a lot
Just let us know where exactly are files located or names of files...
The files should be in "C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db"
You can directly decrypt with this tool too!
After that take the new 2.1 Flasher from X10 Forums and put Mini loader.sin and firmware sin files in "firmware" Folder!
Regards
Bin4ry

Within the the "blob_fs" folder there should be three files starting with "FILE_*" think thats all we need. FileJumbo http: // filejumbo .com (take the spaces out) is a good free upload place.

Can we roll back to 1.6 using your flasher?
Here you go:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825664
Theoretically you can rollback! Someone must decrypt the rom than you can rollback, minis has the same layout of partitions since the first day they came out!

Can somebody upload decrypted 1.6 mini pro so we can use it to rollback to original region when update to 2.1 comes out

I don't know whether you want it, but here are the 2.1 files for the Mini Pro, Singapore Generic. These may remove any potential keyboard conflicts.

Thaks Bin4ry for your support.
I have a question.
After decrypted my firmware, i got 3 tgz files. Extracted them i got 12 files, 9 *.sin.
Where's the loader.sin the complete my firmware?
Thank you.
I tried to decrypt, but each time the tgz I got are corrupted.
changing com.sonyericsson.cs.generic_2.10.9.13.jar and com.sonyericsson.cs_ma3_common_2.10.9.13.jar by new version found in seus folder (2.10.11.10) don't change anything.
solved : I have to rename tgz into tar then I extract it
and the obtained file have to be renaimed into tgz, then winrar can extract it.

First, get the ferakernel ics ftf instead zip file placed under subfolder under flashtool. Then, launch the flashtool. Should work normal. Hope helps

Tried to load from FeraLab_ICS_v3.zip without kernel. Everything went smooth but in the got stock with Sony Ericsson sign.
Currently have kernel 2.6.29
Please help.
Hi everyone,
I'm noob here. I'm using Xperia S. And now learning mote about android.
However I have a question, how can I make boot.img from my ftf file?
Sure, I extracted the ftf, decrypt the kernel.sin into kernel.elf.
From kernel.elf, I decrypt it again and get 4 files, one image (I suppose it is kernel zImage), one ramdisk.gz, one file forgotten and another is elf.4.
Okay, now the problem comes.
The main purpose of me is to change the bootlogo of my Xperia S.
I searched for a day to change the bootlogo, most need to add the rle file into boot.img file (ramdisk).
For sure I read through the site how to unpack, edit and repack the boot image.
The kernel and ramdisk of mine are extracted from ftf but not existing custom Rom,
1. Can I directly use the mkbootimg program to create boot.img? Will it work out?
2. Do I need to aware of any parameters or setting for Xperia S? Since I worried that different devices have diff setting.
3. Is it better to make it on linux? I found mkbootimg.c in c language file but not precompiled program as tutorial, the link given is broken. Can work also?
Sorry, I'm really quite new and very noob, I tried searching and many other things, but still can't figure it out.
Hope that pros here can help me...

how did you decrypt kernel.sin ? can you explain step by step ? Im also a noob

For how to decrypt the kernel.sin, you can use Flashtool (not Sony official one)
Under Tools (perhaps I remember correctly), there is a option about decrypt SIN, and then you can choose the kernel.sin you want to decrypt.

Hey,
I want to work on my own rom for my Mini Pro. I downloaded the SK17i_4.1.B.0.587_VODAFONE ES WORLD.ftf file and want to convert it in a flashable zip in order to use it in the kitchen.
I tried these two methods :
[Windows] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849867
[Linux] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513146
However, both are not working. I get errors that are still not fixed.
Do you guys use another method ?
Thanks.
If the decompression of the sin files doesn't work try it with flashtool, first decrypt with tools -> decrypt, you'll get a yaffs2 file from it and then extract yaffs2 with tools -> extract-> yaffs2 then you'll get a folder with the contents of the sin file
Sent from my xperia mini pro running cm10
Thanks I got it working that and extracted the content of the cace, data & system yaffs2 files. From there, what do you guys advice ? Should I turn it into a flashable zip right away ? If so how ? If not, can those extracted folder be used in the kitchen from the get go ?
I'm sorry for those newbies question but I'm just starting on this. If you got a good tutorial, don't hesitate to share !

No you can't straight away use just the system folder . You need a meta-inf folder, updatebinary and updater-script specific for your device. I can help with that if you are interested.

I would love you to teach me !
I've been toying around developping roms for months now and the Mini Pro seems a good device to start with...
Okay first for the sake of meta-inf folder's file structure, do you have any copy of of a working custom Rom for your device? If yes then open the Rom zip file and you would find a meta-inf folder inside the zip file . Just extract the meta-inf folder and zip just the meta-inf folder and upload it here.
hit thanks if I've helped!
sent from my smultron
So I just use the the meta-inf folder of any similar rom and it will be "flashable" one zipped together ? I wouldn't though it was that easy...
Thanks !
Will try and report.
Ya it should be sufficient but there might be some junk code in it or missing codes for setting permission and symlinks for your Rom so only I asked you to upload it to check for some errors in updater-script . Just open the meta-inf folder and go through the folders and find updater-script file, open it with any text editor (notepad ++ recommended) and just go through the code you'll get some idea.

bro you will have to create a new .zip file out of the edited system files.......... and also with META-INF so that it can be flashed via CWM......... There is no way to create an ftf file from this again...............
Better move this general section since it's common to all 2012Xperia devices...

If I extract system.sin only can see the app folder, the others folders are empty, why? How can I get the others folders?
Im missing the files
CERT.RSA
CERT
and the folder COM

Is this a problem when you flash the rom in to your phone ?

CERT.RSA & CERT aren't important
but you need the /com folder because it contains the updater-script, which tells the ROM how and where to be flashed
so you can't flash a zip unless you have the com folder, you need to download one (it is kinda standard)

ı see, but the problem is that I am searching for a stock zip flashable firmware. there is none :crying:
thats why I extract the FTF file than extract the system.sin.
I got my Meta-inf folder with only one file inside, got the system folder
but also no boot image? what can I do about that ?
There's no "meta-inf" folder in .sin or .img ROMs as it's a hack used to support permissions (as .zip files don't allow for them) and allow incremental updates where the .zip doesn't contain the whole /system partition
