Hi guys..
I tried to extract Xperia mini (ST15i) stock ICS system.sin, first I used flashtool sin editor, the result is system.yaffs2, then I open system.yaffs2 using yaffey, but yaffey always gave me error when I tried to open it, then I tried ext2explore, but it didn't want to open the file even after it was renamed to system.ext4.
Do you guys know how to extract ICS system.sin?
P.S.
yaffey works fine to open system.yaffs2 from ST15i GB system.sin
ext2explore works fine to open system.ext4 from GB ST27i GB system.sin
Edit:
If it's in the wrong place, then please move it into the correct section.

These are files to be used for recompiling a ROM.
Try searching for ftf file of your choice

Hey guys, I was wondering if you could find me a good tutorial for converting an FTF into flashable zip for CWM I found something but it creates a massive ~900mb file so I think there's something wrong. I want this for creating an E (1505) rom based off that new 11.3.A.2.33 ftf
Thanks in advance

1) Open the ftf with WinRAR.
2) Extract the system.sin to your desktop.
3) Open flashtool.
4) Click Tools>Sin Editor.
5) Select the system.sin file on your desktop and then click extract data.
6) Wait for the whole process to finish.
7) Download ext2explore and run it in administrator mode.
8) Open the system.ext4 flashtool has created for you.
9) Save the files to your desktop by right clicking on the root of the directory shown.
10) Bundle these files into a flashable .zip (there are plenty of these in the forums).
Sure Will Help

Thanks a lot guys, I think I'll do this
I think that in order to customize a ROM it needs to be in ZIP format, right?
At least in ZIP format I was able to browse the contents of ROMs while in FTF it didn't work with 7zip, or at least the contents are not easily readable.
So, can anyone help me converting FTF to ZIP? I'm on Windows 7.
I tried a tool called F2Z but it didn't work with my Sony Xperia Miro FTF ROM file.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers

1. Open .zip with WinRar or 7zip. Extract system.sin
2. Use the sin extractor tool in FlashTool.
3. The result is a system.ext4 file.
4. If on Linux or OS X, mount it and zip the system folder. On WinRar you can use a tool like Ext2Extractor to do the job.
5. ????
6. Profit.
