Can anyone give me tips on how to convert .ftf file to a .sin file so as to flash using fastboot?
Related
Is there a way I can get an app that comes preinstalled in a .ftf file by extracting the .sin file (or .tgz) into its components so I can get an apk. I suppose it's kind of an image?
this may sound really stupid.. im new to it.. ive downloaded a firmware and its on .zip
how do i flash it? can i just rename it to .ftf so that i can use flashtool to flash it?

Check the contents of the zip file, if it contains a .ftf file inside it you have to extract and use flashtool to flash it.
If it contains an updater-script then its probably a recovery flashable file, which means it won't work using flash tool.
If you rename and try, you most probably will get an error from the flashtool.
But i doubt its possible to brick your phone that way though
it contains .sin files and meta-inf folder

Most likely you should be able to. But can you quote the source and name of the file maybe?
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.

It's a better way than just renaming ftf to zip but his problem is that Flashtool doesn't work on his PC
@Chronoxl, You can try to convert it with an Android Kitchen tool like "Assayyed kitchen" from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ch...-android-roms-editor-assayyedkitchen-t3410545
I use it to convert elf boot to img but not tried to convert the whole firmware, it works for others Xperia.
