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?

Can't you just download the ftf from Xperifirm ?

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."

No it will not work on pro, and you must own Setool box to flash it to phone.

SE tool box , i dont know if it'll work though
It needs some hardware attachments I think!
can anybody upload screenshots?

You can flash with this tool -
http://hotfile.com/dl/44983907/9d54b5e/XIOFUB.rar.html
Follow the instructions inside the rar file
I'm not responsible if you brick your device permanently
Be careful, don't try to flash your device if you don't really know what you're doing.
This Program can only flash signed Images. NOT custom ones.

Abhi,
is this what you referring to?
Use NANDROID backup instead of FTF. Cooking ROM from FTF is very lengthy procedure.

Copy "System.yaffs2.img" file from your memory card CWM backup folder to your PC local drive and extract it using "unyaffs.exe" for that give command "unyaffs system.yaffs2.img". It will extract your system folders and files. After extracting complete delete "lost-found" and "sd" folder if present.

Thanks i did that already ..but kitchen needs system.img file ?? how to get that ?? I dont want to extract ..but find system.img
Use the system.img from a nandroid back up is easiest way to start. Just copy to working directory from SD card

Arey yaar why you need system.img! Create new folder in kitchen and give it name as WORKING_XXX and put these system folders and files which you have extracted from system.yaffs2.img and also put the META-INF folder and Kernel (boot.img) in your WORKING_XXX folder. After that start DSIXDA kitchen and change the updater-script into update-script. Now you can able to modify your ROM as you want. After your modification complete change the update-script to updater-script. Go to META-INF folder and edit updater-script and remove following line :
assert(package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img"),
write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot"),
delete("/tmp/boot.img"));

Now select 99 build your ROM. Thats it!
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.
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.
