I saw people asking for it so here is the stock ftf file for 5.1.1
mega.nz/#!Nthn2JBY!ErAs49xnG9R8M8SADO8YuLovWazOIjBs5Mv2r9cy1Gc
For some reason there is space after the c and before the y that needs to be deleted for the link to work
And you should know that people can go to Xperifirm to download it too and also have the tools provided along with Flashtool to unpack it and create a zip with it.

DUDE DOOM CHILL!
1. using Flash Tool - unpack blob stuff..
2. use sin2img to extract system.img from system.sin
3. extract system.img to system with unyaffs unpacker
4. from unpacked folder delete all symlinks
5. create META-INF structure and place update-script use some from 2.1 roms avail on x10 section...
6. pack system & META-INF
7. flash.
so some folder has to have:
system & META-INF >>> pack to some.zip

any idea where is can get sin2img ? D:
Hi everyone,
I'm noob here. I'm using Xperia S. And now learning mote about android.
However I have a question, how can I make boot.img from my ftf file?
Sure, I extracted the ftf, decrypt the kernel.sin into kernel.elf.
From kernel.elf, I decrypt it again and get 4 files, one image (I suppose it is kernel zImage), one ramdisk.gz, one file forgotten and another is elf.4.
Okay, now the problem comes.
The main purpose of me is to change the bootlogo of my Xperia S.
I searched for a day to change the bootlogo, most need to add the rle file into boot.img file (ramdisk).
For sure I read through the site how to unpack, edit and repack the boot image.
The kernel and ramdisk of mine are extracted from ftf but not existing custom Rom,
1. Can I directly use the mkbootimg program to create boot.img? Will it work out?
2. Do I need to aware of any parameters or setting for Xperia S? Since I worried that different devices have diff setting.
3. Is it better to make it on linux? I found mkbootimg.c in c language file but not precompiled program as tutorial, the link given is broken. Can work also?
Sorry, I'm really quite new and very noob, I tried searching and many other things, but still can't figure it out.
Hope that pros here can help me...

how did you decrypt kernel.sin ? can you explain step by step ? Im also a noob

For how to decrypt the kernel.sin, you can use Flashtool (not Sony official one)
Under Tools (perhaps I remember correctly), there is a option about decrypt SIN, and then you can choose the kernel.sin you want to decrypt.

From what i understand, u want to extract only the kernel file from the official firmware .ftf file that u have right???
here is what u gotta do.
1. first download 7zip application(google it).
2. then right-click on your .ftf file from wich u want to extract the kernel and select 7zip.
3. then select extract files and select their destination folder.
4. after extraction u should be able to see various .sin files among them u ll have ur kernel.sin.

Re-flash ROM is the best idea.
this is the right call. however, time-consuming and troublesome to deal with. so I wanted to systemUI original. I'd appreciate your help in this regard, and much mercy.

If you have the FW FTF you can extract the sistem.sin from it (with 7-Zip or other software)
Then you extract it's content with flashtool -> Tools -> Sin Editor..
Then you need to get ext4_unpacker and you can extract anything you want from it.
I'd gladly U/L it but I have Xperia P not U.

FTF file is just a zip file, inside it there is a file system.sin you should extract from it.
Any archiving software should be able to do it.
After extracting system.sin, open flashtool go to tools -> sin editor.
Click the 3 dots and select system.sin, click extract data.
When finished there will be 2 more files in the same directory of system.sin, system.partinfo and system.ext4.
system/ext4 is the file you need.
Get ext4_unpacker http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1921399
With it you can extract any file you want from system.ext4

I know you can create flashable out of FTF, but how to do it the other way. From flashable zip to .ftf file?
Is it possible?

AFAIK it's not possible because of digital signatures, this link was taken from zxz0O0 signature and explains it technically:
Reason why we can not create custom firmware (ftf) files for Xperia
https://gist.github.com/dosomder/8ed79b26a5e063efa5ef
"// And that is the reason why we can not create custom firmwares for Xperia. If you still don't understand, RSA is an asymmetric function.
// This means it's using a private key to create the signature and a public key to read it. So even if we find the public key
// (which is somewhere on the device), we can never find or guess the private key. Therefore we can not create a valid signature."
