Hi,
I have a question regarding flashing a stock FW (ftf File) over fastboot.
Is this possible on Xperia devices?
If yes, how?
I have an Motorola Xoom, where I can flash FW (IMG Files) over fastboot.
But how to do it if I have a FTF File !?
Is there a way to convert the FTF-File in an IMG-File and flash it over fastboot?
Can someone explain it step by step??
Thanks in advance
Best regards

There is flashtool that will do all the job for you.
If you extract the ftf file you will see lot of .SIN files.
I don't know how to convert them to .IMG

I know the flashtool and I´m using it very often
I know that the FTF-File is a zip File where I can extract the SIN-Files, but how to flash them all (the whole FW) over Fastboot or convert them to IMG??
I don't know if you know that

Hi gm007,
yes I know this - but that way I can only flash the kernel.sin and system.sin, or?
What is with the other SIN-Files?
Sorry no idea.

Hi friends i wan to install Curiosity ROM for my xperia t and my boatloader is locked due rooting it so i have to follow these steps
Use flashtool to flash any generic 7.0.A.1.303 ftf.
- Root using Bin4ry's method.
- Install CMW for locked bootloaders.
- Download ROM and CWM & with Reboot fix, and copy them to internal/SD memory.
- Enter recovery, and make wipes [wipe data / factory reset, and also wipe dalvik cache (advanced ---> Wipe Dalvik Cache)].
- Flash the ROM, and followed before reboot the CMW Recovery for locked bootloaders.
- Flash stock kernel .489 with Flashtool.
- Reboot, and after entering PIN, wait for a couple of minutes.
- Recommended restart again before start working.

I have downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918397 generic 7.0.A.1.303 ftf. file but actually thats a zip file not ftf
Can you tell me how to convert that file to ftf
Extract it using Windows explorer.
Also, in flashtool when you browse for the ftf file it does not show the ftf file. Just browse to the folder where it is and click ok. You will see the voice of ftf files in the next dialogue box

Dont worry, I can see from your screenshot that flashtool has loaded the ftf file. Just attach in flashmode and it will go through the process.
If you do not know how to enter flashmode then read this which is what I suggest all new users do before they decide to start flashing and rooting

That would not work
kernel.sin is the file in the ftf you need to convert. Flashtool has everything you need to convert it and get access to the files inside.
Install Kernel.ftf for C6903 (.757) or Kernel.ftf for C6902 (.757) with Flashtool to get compatible Kernel and Baseband.
the file i downloaded is a zip file,how can i install it,i'm so confuse right now,please help.thanks guys
