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.
can you help with this, am I doing something wrong ?
if having trouble creating ftf try checking this thread out

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?

Nobody?
especiallyl SIN2IMG ... the other is in the repository of ubuntu
Hi.. I've been trying to extract the FTF file... the unzipping and converting the system.sin works for extracting the system folder, but I also need the META_INF and the stock kernel...
How do i extract it from the ftf file?
I'm trying using the KeiranFTW-Xperia-Toolkit through Ubuntu 12.04 but it gives an error saying libmono.so.0 isnt present... so binary files like unyaffs and sin2img dont work...
DO i need a specific version of ubuntu for this?
Or can anyone provide me a link for the Stock rom in flashable zip format, so that i can get the META_INF and kernel directly...
Thankz..
Hello!
As I'm currently learning about ROMs etc, I feel its important to be able to convert sin->img and then extract on my own.
The problem is however, I haven't been able to do that with the Xperia S system.sin.
I know that the .img is ext4 and not yaffs, but stuff I've tried without luck;
sin2img - errors out
aIUP - gives bad block no matter what
sin2img.py under ubuntu 10.04 - completes, but the output file seems to be corrupt (won't mount)
flashtool->sineditor->dump - same output as sin2img.py. ext2explore can extract the apps folder but nothing else. build.prop comes out corrupt
I redid the sin2img.py to .exe and ran under windows, produces same file as sin2img.py, still not working.
I've seen a couple of extracted filesystems from Xperia S, but I want to find out how they got extracted. PMs often get ignored or people are just too busy to respond so I ask here instead.
I've tried following firmwares;
LT26i_6.1.A.0.452_NCB.ftf
LT26_6.1.A.0.452_Generic_CH_1257-3740_.ftf
LT26_4.0.4 _6.1.A.0.452.ftf
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
I'm also encountering this problem.

If someone could provide a successfully converted system.sin to .img, I could look at what goes wrong at my computer. And I'm talking about system.sin from ICS firmware.
Else the only thing I can think of is that all the system.sins I've tried have been corrupt or something likewise, since userdata.sin converts just fine
Bumping this because I have the same issue with the Xperia S system.sin and Xperia ion.
Getting an error such as this in the dmesg | tail after doing the "mkdir system; mount -t ext4 -o loop system.img system" command when trying to make a prerooted system image
EXT4-fs (loop0): bad geometry: block count 262144 exceeds size of device (140642 blocks)

Using ext2explore instead of yaffey guys. It's Xperia S firmware, not Xperia Arc

He already mentioned ext2explore and that didn't work.
Sorry to revive this old thread. But I'm having the same issue and hopefully a solution has been reached within the last 2 years?
really don't understand what your guys talking about but im using winrar to extract ftf firmware file, then use flashtool to extract .sin file, then use ext4_unpacker to extract ext4 image file, thats all.

My Flashtool is just null when you try to open a .sin file. So something isn't right lol.... Nevermind.. I think it really WAS a corrupt file. Tried fresh and it is good now

Hi bro, what did you do to make it work? I've tried many times with different firmwares, extracting the system.sin with Winrar, then Extract data with sin editor in flashtool, and when I use the ext4_unpacker with the system.ext4 file, it says "Unknown file format". :crying:
In case my files are corrupted, how can I validate that? Please any help is really appreciated. Thanks!

Well... I am not exactly sure what causes that 100% but I think in some cases there might be some kind of encryption or something that is not allowing it to fully decode. But if you have tried many of them, I think something must be going on on your side. Maybe try unpacking with something besides winrar, etc. Also make sure you have the latest and greatest sin editor?
Are you able to successfully extract the data without errors in your sin editor?

So update your version?

If you have stock gingerbread System.sin then extract it using "aIUP.exe" and use following command "aIUP.exe system.sin 2048 system" (you can use value 4096 or 8192 instead of 2048). and if you have ICS system.sin then extract it using Flashtool, for that open flashtool>Advance>sin editor, select system.sin file and click on Dump data you can use this for gingerbread also.
