I just got my Xperia P and i want to install ICS on it but I cant see the FTF files that i download for the ICS installation even if i put them in "firmware" folder, i also tried dragging the file directly to the flashtool but it says "null" the only thing that can be seen is that "x10_v1" file. i redownloaded the files and also the flashtool but still nothing happened. please help
Have you unlock your bootloader?

Maybe the downloaded file is compressed with zip or rar extention, you have to extract first.

U need to download winRAR to extract that file. Then inside that folder u will find the .ftf file. Just renaming the folder doesnt do it. More like crashes the file =/. Dont do it. Download winrar, extract the folder, then copy the actual .ftf file from inside that EXTRACTED folder n paste it over firmware folder.

Maybe you installed flashtool to a custom location?
Make sure the path on top of firmwares window pints to your firmware directory.

Hey there! I've downloaded the latest firmware for c2005, c1904 and c1905, but only the c2005's ftf and the x10_v1.ftf are being displayed on my flashtool. I've tried re-installing flashtool, but that didn't help. I've also tried using it in a diffrent pc, but the same problem persists. What should I do??

Well, it is an ftf file, but now I've realised that the reason behind my problem was that it was a corrupted ftf file, because I've tried changing their extentions to zip, and then I tried extracting it, but the c1904's ftf was said to be corrupted, while I was extracting it. Then I tried extracting the c2005's ftf (which is displayed on the flashtool) and it was extracted successfully!! So, is it just because the ftf was corrupted or is there any other reason for my problem??

Hi guys, Im trying to bring my phone back to rogers stock firmware and I can't seem to do it. I downloaded the unbricker tool and the firmware, which has 2 files named "1" and "2". I got no idea how to use the firmware with the unbricker tool, so can someone help me?
Thanks in Advance
Sounds like you downloaded the SEUS firmware files and you are trying to use the debricker tool which requires .sin files.
You can use the 1 and 2 file with SEUS software by following the instructions in that thread. You basically need to replace the files in a directory for SEUS while it's downloading them. One file is 16mb and the other is 125mb+. There may be a better firmware for you to download for use with the debricker.
wait im confused by your post can you try and maybe explain it a bit clearer? thanks
The 1 and 2 file are for use with the Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS) and not the debrick process. You'll need the Rogers files that are intended for use with the debricker and not the ones you have.
It is possible to use the 1 and 2 files to restore your phone to stock but it's more complicated and I'd suggest just getting the correct files.
I believe you need the first file (WWE_R1FA014 under X10a) in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683793
okay and do I replace all the files? because when I tried to only replace the ones already there, it gave me the exclamation mark and I had to go back to the debranded version.
Read the thread for decrypted roms. You need to replace the .sin files from the flash tool with the .sin files from the firmware version you downloaded from that page. Then run the flah tool with the new files in it. Its pretty simple once you figure it out.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
do I only replace the .sin files? and do I add the extra .sin files in?
Files 1 and 2 are not files that we are looking for.That link bring us wrong files.
Now do one thing download flash tool from here http://hotfile.com/dl/44983907/9d54b5e/XIOFUB.rar.html
Then downlaod files from this link http://hotfile.com/dl/43225669/598ad...4_DEK.zip.html.
The file we download from this link has two folders.extract them then copy files from them to flash tool folder. Then root your xperia x10 and you are ready with RB014 original one. You can update it from SEU. EASY!
hmm, everytime I replace the files, my xperia x10 gets the bricked picture. Do I HAVE to root it before reflashing?
edit: there is an "update.xml" file in the android.... folder and the phone folder. Which one do I use?

In the Rogers rom file, there should be two zip files in there.
- android_1233-6929_R11A_R1FA014.zip
- phone.zip
Now
- Unzip the flashtool first, and then unzip the phone.zip to the flashtool folder and replace any files it prompts.
- Unzip android_1233-6929_R11A_R1FA014.zip and replace any files it prompts.
- Rename or delete System.sin and userdata.sin inside the flashtool folder.
- Rename system_S1-SW-LIVE-AC12-0001-S1-PARTITION-WITH-SPARE.sin to system.sin
- Rename userdata_S1-SW-LIVE-AC12-0001-S1-PARTITION-WITH-SPARE.sin to userdata.sin
Try to flash the phone again see if this will work (Just tried it yesterday, it worked for me.)

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.

No. Once a FTF file has been extracted it can't be recompiled into a workable FTF again.
Just root your phone, at the very most it'll take 45 minutes to get it back to where you had it customized before.

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
has anyone got a working script for oreo .70 iv tried numerous firmwares and even some of the other scripts from the previous firmwares but evertime i try to flush in flashtool i get the no script found error im using single sim thanks
exract anf PASTE the attached file to
C:\Users\<user>\.flashTool\devices\F51XX
and try again
however if the package (ftf) was packed without script! then this may not solve issue
you need to redownload the ftf package from Flashtool >> xperifirm >>2016 >> SUZU>> F512x>> build/country & download.... once downloaded, close window and xperifirm and FLASHTOOL will automatically start creating ftf file ,,, and will PROMPT YOU TO INCLUDE SCRIPT (CLICK YES) and ftf will be created at C:\Users\<user>\.flashTool\firmwares
you can delete contents in C:\Users\<user>\.flashTool\firmwares\Downloads
try flashing now
