Okep. I assume you have the latest FlashTool installed already...
1) Get this (SEUS) : http://www.x-drivers.com/catalog/flash/mobile_phones/companies/sony_ericsson/models/seus/7572.html
2) Flash your phone with the latest software available using SEUS.
3) Go to C:\Program Files\Sony Ericcson\Update Service\db\13740270\blob_fs\
4) Copy the 2 largest files you'll find there to C:\Flashtool\leajian (I assume you created there a folder called leajian)
5) Run FlashTool
6) Click Advanced > Decrypt Files
7) Source folder : C:\Flashtool\leajian
8) From Files, select all (Click & Ctrl + A) and click -> to move the 2 files to Files to convert
9) Click OK
10) Wait patiently till it finishes...
11) From Folder list, select all (Click & Ctrl + A) and click -> to move the 2 files to Firmware content
12) If it is ICS, tick the Disable Final Verification Check
13) On Device write the model [ex. Xperia Neo V (MT11i)], on Version write the firmware version and/or the Android version [ex. 4.1.A.0.562 (ICS_4.0.3)], on Branding write the region and your name if you wish [ex. Greek (by Leajian)].
14) Click OK
15) On Device Selection choose the device it is for (ex. MT11i)
16) Wait very patiently...
17) When it finishes the .ftf file is located on C:\Flashtool\firmwares
18) SHARE IT ON XDA!!!
Reserved
;-) you forgot the most important point, once created share.
We'll soon have a full collection

Here you have a video of the entire process:

differs a bit from your guide
for example here we will copy 3 files from folder
in some other guide someone wrote obout excluding this file from decrypted files: simlock.ta it is needed?

Check this folder only after a complete flash via SEUS. After that the two big files we want are named after like this "FILE_XXXXXXXXXX" where X are some numbers.

Differs and may confuse users who are not that familiar with this stuff... :/
The third file you copy is small, around 64KB, that's the loader.sin which is automatically merged to FTF by Flashtool, when you specify the device of the FTF.
ok and now what with this file: simlock.ta
we need it?

Personally I prefer to include it, because it was shipped and that's why it has to be on an official FTF.
I haven't tested if needed or not, but I think it's not necessary.

You don't need it.
But we can't create backup if updated is available for FS, right?
I had stock gingerbread and when I tried to back it up I didn't see any repair option in SUS as ICS was available for my phone at that time.

Thanks! nice tutorial. You saved my time to download official firmware file. Successfully backup my Neo V ICS firmware.
hey man..thanks for this..created the FTF file successfully..but its 234 MB, Is this the normal size?? for .431 India fw (NeoV)

Well.. Before there wasn't problems by flashing that file, but in ICS era some reports having problems by locking their phones.
Few latest versions of flashtool disregard that file during flash process. I believe those users(who had problems) didn't use latest version and simlock.ta file got flashed. I'm not 100% but I believe so.
Btw, .ta file is tricky file, you can mess up your phone if you mess up with it. One guy did it with his Xperia S, that's why flashtool guys made it disregard that file.

F*ck logic, ask Sony! xP
for the first timers: now in the updated flashtool, the decrypt option is inside Tools - Bundles - FILESET decrypt... I was scratching my head for a while there, cuz Advanced options was not available to me.

I've updated my phone using PC Companion and would like to create an .ftf to use with Flashtool.
Use decrypt from flashtool to the two biggest file in size in blob_fs. Then follow the instructions

And where is that thing?
I assume you are on windows. Go to C:/ > Program files > Sony Ericsson > Update Service > db > ****** > Blob_fs
Hey, you have the Latin America firm for sk17a?
If that's the case I'd appreciate if you upload it when you get the ftf file (I guess that's what you'd do anyways, but doesn't hurt to ask).
Thanks!

Nope. It's the WT19a US generic firmware (CDA 1254-1956).
You can find SK17a ftf here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1693431.
It says "Generic US", but Sony's firmwares have system languages for every officialy supported language.
Doesn't matter if you download an US or brazilian firmware, you'll have the Spanish language in it.
Just be sure to download a "SK17a" firmware, not a "SK17i". Else you're going to screw the baseband of your phone.
Ftf can only be made by updating from SUS . Here is what u do now..
Download SUS.
Follow their steps.
They tell u that phone already has latest software......
Still u can reinstall the existing android version. Note thT it will wipe out everything....
Thn it begins to download
After it has downloaded... Thn u can go to above mentioned blob fs folder....
There arrange them by date in descending.... Top 3 files are the firmware files ... Take them and store them somewhere.... Thn start flashtool...advanced... Decrypt files.... Point to those three... After decryption it shows many files ... Select them all n bring them to right column.... Also fill in model,version number etc etc... Thn it asks u for fone model ...chose wt19...... And now u r done.... Look into firmware folder of flashtool ... There should be ur ftf.......
And instead of reading all above things .. There is a simple video on youtube abt backing up ur sone ericsson firmware..... Search that

what is loader.sin , i mean does it does any harm like in an updated phone u have old loader or something ?
or i guess its just used to install files like kernel via flashtools?
i am asking this cause in my flashtools>lt18i folder , the loader.sin is 26 feb 2012 modified, so is it all still ok ?!
when you make a ftf, flashtool will create a loader.sin automatically asking your model and bootloader status

this guy: "aisan" confused me with his post...
anyways i used prateek_gemini method mentioned on first page and dragged the ftf created in flashtools folder in flashtools and just kept to flash the kernel with the loader.sin in it,,,, so is it all ok ?!
i mean one loader.sin is in flashtools>lt18 folder
and other in the ftf file i created and flashed from that only...
so all i did was correct and had nothing to do with the loader.sin file in lt18 folder ?!
i hope u get it and ease me out of this please!

I have a problem...
I tried to update my Xperia S using Sony Pc companion...
Problem:
The phone contains modified software that cannot be updated..
Details:
Sony Update Engine failure (error 2003)
So the software already updated/downloaded and since I have limited bandwidth I would very much not like to download it again, is there anywhere where i can find this file it downloaded so I can maybe fix the problem and load it later with flashtool?
The downloaded file must be somewhere because if I try to update it again it just skip over the update part meaning it already downloaded, not to sure if this is the correct place to ask but any help would be much appreciated.

You can make your own system dump. Download .587 ftf and keep it in firmwares. Then open it with winrar and extract system.sin. Then Open flashtool and go to SIN Editor under tools (be sure that you are in advanced mode under the file menu). Then select the system.sin in firmwares and press dump data. Then under tools menu, go to extractors---> Yaffs2. Go to the firmwares folder. You will find only one file. Select that and wait until the data extraction in finished. Done!! Then go to the firmwares folder and look for a folder call "system_content". It will work for all 2011 Xperia devices.
Press the Thanks button if I helped.

You can extract a yaffs2 file using flashtool itself. Go to tools---->Extractors----->Yaffs2. Choose the yaffs2 file and begin the dumping process. You will get a folder called "system_content" which is the entire system folder of the stock rom. I have confirmed that this works.

About the tool:
This tool converts your FTF to a flashable rooted ROM in a few simple steps. Simple batch scripting has been used to make this.
How to use?(Will add screenshots soon)
1. Download and extract the f2z.zip
2. Now place your ftf in ftf folder
3. Now click RunMe.bat and press enter and let the tool do it's work.
4. Now select a compression size b/w 2048, 4096 and 8192 and press ENTER. I recommend using 4096 for ICS and 2048 for
GB.
5. Now the tool will do some final work. Do all the changes you want in your ROM by going to /system folder when prompted to do so.
6. Now press ENTER and the 7z window will open and compress your ROM. After it's done find your rooted, flashable ROM in rom folder.

good work.
trying it now
i got first comment. yay
Edit: Works perfectly. - ics
Doesn't work on "st15a" GB 4.0.2.A.0.62 .ftf file
Hello,
Thanks for the tool, however it doesn't work with "st15a" GB 4.0.2.A.0.62 .ftf...I have tried multiple compression values without success...it tries and sets up several empty directories, but there is an error that occurs and it goes to the next screen too quick for me to see the error.
This "st15a" .ftf is viable however with these "a" model firmwares there have been many incompatible programs (I am not sure why) and the "i" versions work without a hitch. Case in point...the readily available "One Click Root" works perfectly with "i" version models but the "a" versions do not work no matter how many times that are tried.
I am running Windows XP SP3.
Thanks so much for your effort though...I have been wanting to get this firmware rooted as a backup for my st15a and nothing seems to work.
Thanks again.
Do you know the steps to do it mannually? If yes pm me or aj the steps and any one will check whether the tool does that or not.
About the error try printscreening it

OK then do the following-
0. Download the latest flashtool.
1. Extract your ftf to obtain system.sin with 7z or winrar.
2. Now go to flashtool and goto tools->SIN editor and browse for your system.sin. Then click dump data.
3. Now you will get a file named system.yaffs2. Now click on tools->extractors and select yaffs2. Browse for system.yaffs2 and extract it.
4. Now you will get a folder named system with your files in it. Then download my tool.
5. Goto imp folder and copy the META-INF folder and place it along(not inside) the system folder.
6. Now from the imp folder copy su binaries and paste it in the bin folder of the system folder you extracted.
7. Now copy superuser.apk from imp folder and paste it in apps folder of the system folder.
8. Now copy the busybox binaries from imp folder and paste it to xbin folder of the system folder you extracted.
9. Lastly select system folder and META-INF folder and zip the ROM via winRAR or 7z and done.
10. Enjoy
Thanks...I will give it a try and report back later.

I tried all the steps to the letter and am getting an error7...here is the actual error:
setting permissions...
set_perm: some changes failed
E:Error in /sdcard/402A062stock.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted

It seems with the "st15a" 4.0.2.A.0.62 firmware, any modification of the stock, this error occurs. It is these "a" models which make it difficult to modify the firmware.
Any ideas?
Thanks so much for your time and help thus far...I had hopes when I saw your reply, but no go.
Thank u..!!
While installing the rom i get error while "Setting Permissions".. Installation gets aborted.
Do i have to modify the updater-script..??
Don't worry I'll update the updater-script in sm time. Sorry guys.
Cheers,
AJ

Updated the tool. Now the updater-script won't give the error Enjoy :good:

Was great
updater-script to android 2.x.x
Do not you think it's better to add to updater-script for android 4
Code:
set_perm(0, 3003, 06755, "/system/bin/ip");
set_perm_recursive(0, 2000, 0755, 0644, "/system/vendor");
symlink("/system/fonts/Roboto-Regular.ttf","/system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf");
symlink("/system/fonts/Roboto-Bold.ttf","/system/fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf");
symlink("/factory/hdcp.keys","/system/vendor/firmware/hdcp.keys");
symlink("/data/etc/wifi/wl1271-nvs.bin","/system/etc/firmware/ti-connectivity/wl1271-nvs.bin");
Used by myself.

At what part did it show installation aborted? It might show some status error. Also which firmware? Give log.

About the tool:
This tool converts your FTF to a flashable rooted ROM in a few simple steps. Simple batch scripting has been used to make this.
How to use?(Will add screenshots soon)
1. Download and extract the f2z.zip
2. Now place your ftf in ftf folder
3. Now click RunMe.bat and press enter and let the tool do it's work.
4. Now select a compression size b/w 2048, 4096 and 8192 and press ENTER. I recommend using 4096 for ICS and 2048 for
GB.
5. Now the tool will do some final work. Do all the changes you want in your ROM by going to /system folder when prompted to do so.
6. Now press ENTER and the 7z window will open and compress your ROM. After it's done find your rooted, flashable ROM in rom folder.
