Any one know how? or how to add and remove a file in the .ftf in flashtools?
1.Unpack .ftf file(as .zip or .rar) to get the file : system.sin
2.Use SIN2IMG.exe to transfer system.sin into system.img
3.Use unyaffs.exe to upack the system.img into resources you need
You can download SIN2IMG & unyaffs from the Internet
It's not an easy thing to add resources into .ftf file
Actually,Linux enviornment is required to pack the resources into .img file
But you may use Cygwin(HTC [email protected]) to help you do such things.

Thanks, now how do I repack it to .ftf ?
i need the same help
Unless you are modifying the baseband or kernel, it may be easier to make an xrecovery zip from system.img once you unpack and modify it however you want to.
Seems all 2.3.3 SE roms are on the same kernel/BB so if you're on the right ones already all you'll need is an xrec zip to build the rest. If you are on an older/different kernel/BB then Doomlord has an ftf package with just those 2 things & detailed instructions on how to get it going.

how were you able to unpack the .img file
I am able to extract the system.sin
then create a system.img with sin2img.exe, but when I try to unpack the .img file, unyaffs.exe only gives me stackfiles and not a new directory.
can you help with this, am I doing something wrong ?
if having trouble creating ftf try checking this thread out

Thanks for the links i already got guides to make my own rom.Am using dsixda' android kitchen and as the per the instruction given.For xperia x10
"First reinstall a Android 2.1.
Then root it.
Install a XRecovery.
Then backup it.
Now you will get system.img in backup folder."
My doubt is wether this backup should be dont with the stock rom itself or can i use an existing custom rom?And if it should be from stock rom then is it enough use the system.img file obtain by extracting ftf and then using sin2img?

1. It extract files out of the images.
2. Yes, make backup in xRecovery, then extract system.img.
3. Make sure you dont write .img at end, put your img files in same folder as unyaffs.
4. I dont think its possible.
you might want to note in the original post that modified sin files can't be flashed w/ the flash tool, if thats what your reply means.
i'd assume that, but not everyone would.. and maybe note the download is for win32 only.
thanks!

I am very interested in ROM developing, the problem is i am a beginner. I tried to look for some guides, but they are quite hard to find to be honest. If i would want to modify stock rom what should i do? Although i could not find it i thought this could be an option:
- flash stockrom through odin
- modify stockrom
- make backup and copy system.img
- in a flashable zip you have the system directory, but how do you obtain this directory from system.img, what program do i need? Simple mounting program poweriso didn't recognize the image. I thought it might be possible to directly extract the required files from the odin package, but not find a guide for this?
Use MagicISO to extract system.img

Use 7zip to extract system.img from odin's md5 file.

dsiXDA kitchen should be used only to zip-align, deodex and repack everything to flashable zip. It isnt really good at extracting .img files (personal opinion).
Read ketut's blackhawk rom's 2nd post for more info about dsiXDA kitchen

Probably a dump question, but when i extract the md5 file i obtained only a boot.img file and a recovery.img file, system.rfs file and some other files. Where is the system.img file located? I can't load the .img files with magic iso.

Open magicISO. Click on open -> navigate to system.rfs. It will load up all folders inside system.rfs. Select all -> right click -> extract all

Can someone help me with that. I'm not a newbie
Hi.. I've been trying to extract the FTF file... the unzipping and converting the system.sin works for extracting the system folder, but I also need the META_INF and the stock kernel...
How do i extract it from the ftf file?
I'm trying using the KeiranFTW-Xperia-Toolkit through Ubuntu 12.04 but it gives an error saying libmono.so.0 isnt present... so binary files like unyaffs and sin2img dont work...
DO i need a specific version of ubuntu for this?
Or can anyone provide me a link for the Stock rom in flashable zip format, so that i can get the META_INF and kernel directly...
Thankz..
I have download firmware in .zip format. in my pc i have install WINRAR. this shown only zip. if i extract there i not find .ftf file. i try to rename but its shown zip. how i change get .ftf file. plz reply me
an .ftf file is just a zip-file with a different extension, just rename it, right-click on it and change .zip to .ftf
I believe you have not open the option to see the extention of your file. open it in your windows, then you can change it. or, just use mobile phone explorer to do it.
c3poyoda said:
you are not suppose to change the file. zip is zip, not ftf. It is like you changed cloth but you are not becoming to another person.
If you do need ftf format, download only ftf, not the zip.

The built-in Windows Archiver used to zip folders doesn't use the proper format for files that need to be flashed. You should use Winrar or 7-zip if you have unpacked the zip-files.
If you've just downloaded the files without unpacking them, just rename them to .ftf without unpacking. Because your browser recognises the .ftf's as .zip-files it renames them on download-completion, simply renaming them back will solve your issues.

Sometimes you download a zip, you have to extract its files and then, create the ftf file with flashtool, using the option...tools/bundle creation. Try doing that.

When you are using Windows with standard settings and you rename the file, you will get filename.ftf.zip because you don't see the extention with standard settings. Use a different file explorer like Total Commander to rename the file or change the settings to show file extentions in Windows.

thnx bro, but it was not the problem of extension , actually Flashtool took time to "get devices sync with github" something like this, after that it worked like charm
