hi all
how can i convert ftf bundle into rom or to its system dump?
thanks
1. Open the .ftf file in some sort of archive manager and extract its content. You should be left with a bunch of .sin files.
2. Find a tool called SIN2IMG. Use this tool on system.sin. You should be left with an .img file.
3. Open the .img file in an archive manager and extract its content. You should now have all of the contents of /system for you to play with.
Pretty sure that's how to do it...

So with SIN2IMG I just bash in 'SIN2IMG system.sin system.img' ?
And I assume to to repack it, you repack up the /system folder into a .img, use a tool (maybe sin2img?) to convert it to a sin, then re-archive it up as a .ftf using same archive manager?
I'm using 7z..? Would like to have a butchers really, see what's changeable.
Random Question.. could one push binaries like su or apt-get to the phone by stickin' em in with the kernel/system images?
Many thanks!
Which archive manager? I can't mount it and unyaffs gives segmentation error (ubuntu), tried mounting with one from software centre, had an empty folder..

it's not easy as you think. to flash the rom, you need rooted system.sin. .sin files only can be signed by sonyericsson.
take a look at this thread instead. all your idea is in this. lol. btw, this method works

No. that app used to convert .sin from decrypted rom from SEUS to .img..you can extract it using unyaffs. trust me.

Coz SONY sign every sin they do, phone doesnt take unsigned sin files

but, after i got into there, nothing was happening, it said
"aZuZu SE SIN2IMG, v1.02.3 <c> anZuZu 2010.
Usage" System.Sin System.Img"
can anyone help >.<
usage: system.sin System.img
so in cmd
you write sin2img [path to your system.sin file] [path where you wanna to put new created system.img file]
This is freakin' brilliant! Thanks!
Edit: Make a Linux version.
have a try
It works with mono?
Edit: Okay.. So now it's a .img file. How do I crack this open and start playing around with it?
greetings..
thanks to all for trying...
as i recall there is kernel support for yaffs imgs with cloop.. or something..

it is actually yaffs v2.0 but mounting should be possible in linux
in win32 can be extracted with tool unyaffs.exe
Can anyone reupload the SIN2IMG tool ? I can't find any valid download link for it.

I only need to convert it to img... i dont need to unpack it... Why there isn't any mirror with that tool ? is there something wrong with it ?
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.

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?

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

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).

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

You can download the XTZ bootanimation.zip file from THIS POST. To use it on a different device, you probably will have to edit the desc.txt file contained in the bootanimation.zip file.

Assuming you are using Microsoft Windows, you will need four programs to extract files from the .ftf file.
1. An archive file tool like WinRAR or 7-Zip. Use the tool to extract the system.sin file from the .ftf file. You might have to change the .ftf extension to .rar or .zip to cause WinRAR or 7-Zip to open the file.
2. sin2img.exe. Use it to create a system.img file from system.sin file.
3. Ext2 Volume Manager (aka ext2fsd). It is a Windows driver. Running it will allow Windows to access the EXT4 partitions in the system.img file.
4. OSFMount. Use it to mount/unmount the system.img file as a Windows drive.
When you have the system.img file mounted as a Windows drive, you can extract whatever files you want.

7-Zip
7-Zip cannot read .img.ext4 files. I used program called sgs2toext4 and now the file is .ext4.img and 7-Zip can read it but it can't extract any .so files. I need to get libdefcontrainer_jni.so from /system/priv-app/DefaultContrainerService/lib/arm.

Use for that the EXT2 unpacker tool,
https://androidfrog.com/5gt67f
Select Package and then the directory where you want to extract it.
Doesn't work. It can't save that .so file.
same problem here, i try to extract cache.img from S8 firmware (G950FXXU1AQJ1/G950FOXM1AQJ1/G950FXXU1AQJ1/G950FXXU1AQJ1 , 20171018104053) . using ImgExtractor 1.3.7 it extracts , but the extracted zip cannot be opened by any program, with ext4_unpacker (after i fix the img header 4 bytes using sgs4ext4fs) it gives 'list index out of bounds' when i try to extract the zip, using CacheRipperUX it extracts the zip from img but when i try to open the zip using 7-zip it only sees a few files, when i try to open with Winrar it sees full list but cannot extract any of them because it give archive corrupted.
i found a solution: convert the original cache.img (samsung sparse ext4) to raw ext4 using simg2img , and the resulted .img file open with 7-zip and extract the content. My zip content was extracted correctly.
Is there any app for android which can extract .img files like system.img?
