First, get the ferakernel ics ftf instead zip file placed under subfolder under flashtool. Then, launch the flashtool. Should work normal. Hope helps

This file does work
Download, rename .txt to .ftf
Place in flashtool/firmware
Flash
Let me know if it works
Maybe fera uploaded a txt by mistake
also a mirror with FTF not zip
http://www.mediafire.com/?5mamz8p47s89yb5
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!You can thank me if you like but take a second to thank one of FeraVolts posts HERE please, as its his work, i simply changed the txt into a FTF
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THERE MAYBE A REASON BEHIND HIM SAVING AS A .TXT FILE SO READ THE FULL THREAD HERE BEFORE YOU FLASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is clearly written in the instructions - "Flash kernel in zip only". So, download the zip, and look for the kernel in the zip.

You can use SPFlashTool to make a copy of the ROM you have installed, just the same way you would do to get a copy of your stock ROM

Hy thnks for idea i build rom for core 2 but i cant find any custom rom for this device
I have the stock rom how to get the META-INF
Thanks <3
If you have a boot.img and system.img I'm pretty sure they would need to be extracted to make a flashable zip. Just throw them in a kitchen. If you don't have linux try Ricky kitchen or someone has modded dsixda kitchen and called it cygwin kitchen, meaning you don't have to install a virtual box. Ricky is windows based anyway
