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.)

dude .ftf files are already bundled..!! you cant bundle them.. they are ready to be flashed..!!
files that can be bundled are .sin files which are converted into .ftf files after creating bundle. they are ready to be flashed..!!
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.

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.

Hi,
The flashtool didn't recognise the file after renaming it as described by you. Is there another way to get this done?

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.

Go to YouTube write Cara rename file ZIP ke FTF firmware Sony Xperia and the first video is your answer..
Hello everyone. I have gone through some guides relating to ftf to zip conversion.. They helped me a lot when I needed to tweak Stock ROM for my Neo L.. Thanks to all of them.. The process of this is quite lengthy for those who do not have Sony Xperia phones.. For the people with Sony Xperia phones, we have a flashtool which makes this process easier... I will be covering about extracting system.sin file and extracting it using the flashtool....
For this you need Flashtool. Go to http://androxyde.github.com/index.html?1363896068000.. Under 'Installation' tab, download the latest version of flashtool.. Install it to root of any drive so that it can be easily accessed... Now let us get to work...
NOTE: 1. This guide is only for SONY XPERIA phones which are supported by the flashtool provided in the above link...
2. DO NOT CONNECT YOUR PHONE WHILE DOING THIS METHOD....
A. Extracting system.sin from ftf file (ftf file is a stock firmware file.. Download the required fif file from xda)
1. Go to the folder where you installed flashtool.. In that there will be 'firmwares' folder.. Place your ftf file in it..
2. Now open the flashtool and click on the lightning button..
3. When you click on the lightning button, it will show flashmode and fastboot options. Select flashmode..
4. The ftf file which you placed in the 'firmwares' folder will now appear.. Select it.. Don't do any changes, just press OK..
5. Flashtool will prepare files for flashing and displays a dialogue box asking you to connect your phone..
6 Do not connect your phone.. Just leave that dialogue box like that.. DO NOT CLOSE IT..
7. Now go to the 'firmwares' folder.. A new folder with the name 'prepared' will appear..
8. Open it and your system.sin file will be present.. Copy it and paste it somewhere else..
B. Extracting the system folder from system.sin
1. Close the dialogue box which asks you to connect your phone.. Flashing will be cancelled..
2. Go to 'Tools' menu and select 'SIN editor'..
3. Browse to the system.sin file and select dump data.. You will get two files with 'yaffs2' extension.. Neglect the smaller one..
4.. Go to 'Tools' menu and select 'Extractors'.. Under this select 'yaffs2'..
5. Browse to the system.yaffs2 file and select OK.. That's it... You have the system folder with you.. customize whatever you want and combine with the META-INF folder and zip it...
Hit thanks if it helped you... Any suggestions or questions are welcome...
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
