It makes ftf from the files you have...for example if u have kernel.sin and loader.sin, then u can convert it into an ftf
If u really don't know much I won't recommend u
But no harm in giving a shot
Press THANKS if I helped,
Best Regards,

Dont miss the ICON FARM!

no dont worry I know enough. I know the files after unpacking ftf are like you told. I just had this little hope that it is making ftf from zip. Great work and will try it in some days. Thanks hitted

Maybe you should explain a bit more how it works and what I can use it for
Because I guess there will be some people who want to build a ftf with their own modified /system folder, so better explain all files that "could" be in the input folder and how your program works :good:

I don't really think that it will be possible....but u can give it a try....if anyone want's to try, try to do the following:
1. Change any custom kernel to sin if possible.
2. Then download the stock ftf ROM for which the kernel is made.
3. Then extract the stock ftf and get loader.sin from it.
4. Combine loader.sin and kernel.sin together.
5. Then compress them in ftf format with this tool.
6. Then try to flash it and see if it works.
Most chances are that it won't so try anything at ur risk.

Nice tool bro.
Creating custom kernel as .sin files is not possible for our Xperia 2011 devices. Only Sony can do that. There is a way for Xperia 2010 devices but it mostly won't work on our devices. Good work though

virajt said:
Hello,
I have recently found the sources of E16i. Here is the link to download the sources.
I am a novice in the development section. So will require a help of the great developers we have to merge all these sources to a .ftf file!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is the source code, not the binary files of the kernel/baseband!
Creating a FTF is not as easy as compiling the kernel; Google around and you will find that this is rocket science squared.
EDIT:
To create a kernel only FTF bundle one would need the decompiled...
- kernel.sin
- loader.sin
...out of a W8 NAND dump.
To create a Baseband (plus Kernel) FTF one needs the decompiled...
- amss.sin
- amss_fs.sin
- cache.sin
- fota0.sin
- fota1.sin
- kernel.sin
- loader.sin
...out of a W8 NAND dump.
If you can get hold of these files you can actually "create" the FTF bundle with Flashtool yourself.
In the window where you would select the FTF you select the files belonging together so Flashtool shows them in the next window for selection. There you would select all of them and then flash. Since a FTF is a signed ZIP (yes, rename a FTF to ZIP and you can see what's inside), and I don't know of a signer for FTF files, that would be the only possible way (unless it would be possible to simply take apart a signed FTF and replace the files with the ones from the E16).
---------- Post added at 10:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 AM ----------
Update: I Googled for you ...
HERE is a W8(E16I)_2.1.1.A.0.53_HK.ftf for download (HK = HONG KONG).
If you can work out how to download the file, as I can't read chickenscratch, you could try to see if it contains other languages as well.
And here's another download of the same ROM version - also all written in chickenscratch.
Happened to check the link and found the download button. Its the "White" button to the right of the "Red" button.
I have X8 but I am currently downloading the file. Do you think this file can be used with X8(I am going to try it out anyway).
Managed to flash it with Flashtool on my X8 and this is what i got(See attachments).
The 3rd picture is just to show you the list of chinese apps that are included in the package.
This is a xRecovery back up. I have that of my phone too.
The reason I have created this thread is to develop a flashable file which gives a clean, un-rooted stock W8 ROM.
Hmmm but you want to do this for what?
You actually flashed W8 frimware. So?
If u wanna create clean file for flashtool you should make tool to sign thoose files first. If you have enought knowadle to do that it will be awsome
Therefore we would be able to flash custom roms using flashtool ;D
Good luck at all ! ;D
if you can do it it will be great so w8 will have its own rom ,,
w8 will be out on the shadow of x8
using w8 with rom gdxv24
can you ? should You? would you ? do it for our w8??
I am still trying my best to do it. But I dont see any light at the end of the tunnel with the knowledge I currently have.

Maybe you cannot do it now but if everyone spread the word about this, perhaps soon some advanced developer could do it for us
True that. But our top notch developers are busy in ICS and I don't want to disturb them for personal reasons
why m not able to falsh naa 11 ??
direct link for HK firmware http://www.mediafire.com/?ed2pe8v7v3jwicu
---------- Post added at 08:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 PM ----------
Now it is not possible to restore my W8 to stock firmware using PC companion repair option .Dont know why.It always saying no update available.I think something in custom rom messed up some data which prevents detection as W8.Is there any way to force PC companion to restore my W8 to stock?
Best method is Wotan client. first register in the site.then download Wotan client .After imputing username and password it will download and flash the latest one. After than you can repair/update with PCC or SEUS.My Problems solved. Thanks for all.

But did you unlock bootloader?
Thanks B.Jay and aji_s for the help.
Thread updated with aji_s's work!

Ics 4.0.4 img

Hi, im looking for official 4.0.4 IMG file, i can't change SIN to IMG cuz i got many errors.Any one have it ? or know how to change format ? Xperia Rom Manager doesnt work, Sin2img also.
Use a nandroid back up for img, sin2img hasn't worked with any ics release, seems Sony changed the byte order.

I always forget to tell you, looks like its working with neo and arc ftf, but doesn't work with neo v and arc s.
Does arc also use /vendor?

Yes. But I doubt that is the reason.
As sin2img should stripp down sin signature from whatever file.
I talked to aZuZu, he will also check that..

but some one can take care about this problem, Sin2IMG doesnt work for Xperia S SIN also.

flashtool can convert any system.sin file to yaffs.img and other related sin files can extract to orjin formats
from yaffs using aIUP 2048 same error
ok i change SIN to Yaffs using Flashtool,then i extract it by unyaffs. Now its perfect

Where the hell have you been man Or should I say where the hell was I watching...
Indeed, looks like flashtool have better sin header detection, or should I say yaffs header detection.
Mystery remains, why old sin2img works with Arc/Neo and why not with Arc S/Neo V

[Guide] How make a FTF of stock firmware from SUS files

Though we have similar guides for the Sony Ericsson Xperia 2011 line up, I couldn't find a similer thread in this forum for the SONY Xperia lineup.
Since a few user have questions about this I decided to make a step by step guide. Hope it helps someone. :angel:
So here we go,,
1)Download the Sony PC Companion from official Sony support site if you don’t have it Installed already.
2) Flash your phone with the latest software available using PC Companion. If you don’t want to flash the phone, just going until the Software download step is enough. [You'll need this step to get the temporary files required to create the ftf.]
3) Go to:
C:\ProgramData\Sony Mobile\Update Engine\db\13740270\blob_fs
4) create a folder "Source_files" in C:\
5) You'll find 3 larger files with filenames like "file_#########".One large file (~400MB) and 2 smaller files (~14MB and ~64KB) .Copy those 3
files to "C:\Source_files"
********[Ignore the files with filename like "ICON_#####...."]********
6) Download and install the latest flashtool from here
5) Run FlashTool
6) Click Tools>Bundles>FILESET Decrypt
7)Select source folder : "C:\Source_files"
8) From 'Available Files' , select all (Hold Shift and click on 3 files) and click -> to move the 3 files to "Files to convert"
9) Click Convert
10) Wait till it finishes...
11) From Folder list, select all (Using SHift+Click) and click -> to move all files to Firmware content.
12) If it is ICS, tick the Disable Final Verification Check
13) On Device Select your model [ex. Xperia U (ST25i)], on Version write the firmware version (Ex. 6.1.1.B.1.10) , on Branding write the local
(Ex.Indian or Italian etc.)
14) Click OK
16) Wait till the process finishes...
********[You'll get "Finished bundle creation" message on the log]********
17) When it finishes the .ftf file can be found on "C:\Flashtool\firmwares"[/B]
********************* Updated********************************
1 ) Updated the guide with new links
2) Removed SUS information since it has been discontinued.
3) Changed some instructions to match with the latest flashtool.
Thanks for this detailed guide

look in Q&A section...
btw try to download a pre-made FTF and reset your device
So I was trying to make an ftf file for the Xperia V. I succeed when making it using an ICS firmware. However the Jellybean firmware is different. The 3 biggest files consist of a file size of ~400mb, ~200mb and ~16mb. I tried making the firmware and failed. Any help?
