Question:
1)before the RW version 14.3.A.0.757 , in this version 14.3.A.0.681 want root first? or can just follow the step root it?
2)what is De-ODEX?
thank everyone for help...
1) Flash a FTF file ending in .534 (Find the file and the instructions in the Mega collection thread in general)
2) Install Dual Recovery (Find the files and instructions in the dual recovery thread in the cross device development section)
3) Install the rom you have linked to following the instructions in that ROM
De-odex means the odex files of all the system apks have been incorporated into the apk making modding of them easier.

as our friend said, the procedure is that easy, and that was complete, just for making your burdun a bit lighter, this is link for that explorer you need at the last step
wish you luck bro
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext...xt2explore-2.1.65.zip/download?use_mirror=dfn
hoping to make a stock based rom for LT30p so we can keep the polished stock rom, with maybe some nexus look-a-like xp I'll see
No need for the ext2 explorer.
Once you have dumped the data in flash tool just use that ext4 file as the working file for your Rom in dsixdas kitchen
Sent whilst sat on the toilet.
I put the system.ext4 in the original update folder , but still get this: Ensure there is at least one ROM under the 'original_update' folder!

Make sure you read the instructions in the kitchen OP and post 2
Sony Xperia 2011-12 devices, specifically:
- TX, P, U, Sola
- Active, Arc, Arc S, Mini, Mini Pro, Neo, Neo V, Neo L,
Play, Ray (follow steps below):
- Can only build ROM without boot.img
- If using stock FTF for kitchen:
1) Unzip FTF file, extract the system.sin
2) Dump system image from system.sin w/ Flashtool
(Advanced-> SIN Editor)
3) Rename dumped file to system.img
- OR If using Nandroid backups: Rename system.yaffs2.img to system.img
- Use this system.img in kitchen's original_update folder
- WARNING - If using a ROM made from system.sin (not Nandroid), it
is recommended to flash from the temporary (fastboot) Clockwork
Recovery, rather than the regular Clockwork Recovery, otherwise
device may not boot (possibly because custom recovery files in
system folder are not added to ROM? e.g. recovery.tar).

Can you also create a flashable zip for the new 4.2.2 ROM? Is it possible to pre-root it?

Is 4.2.2 update out? Anyway I just need the ftf.
I did not post a Rom it's just a update.zip
If you already have root for 4.2.2 you can just add superuser.apk in system/app and it will be pre-rooted

Yes, the Nordic version it out. You can download the FTF here. If we flash it with FlashTool, root will be gone and we cannot use DoomLord's rooting tool for it since the exploit is fixed in JB.

I provide only system/app and system/framework, which in your request is 4.2.2, but the rest of the OS will be 4.1.2 , so the phone is going to reject it.
But if you have an unlocked boot loader then obviously what you requested might be possible. You can do it yourself if you have ROM Kitchen.
Again i'm just a noobie with some enthusiasm i might be totally wrong.
The files doesn't extractig. Haven't you forgot to place one more file?

There is no 'XZR Deodex.zip.000'
Download and install XZR Deodex.zip.001 & 2 , they work fine.
I've used them myself.
Please explain how to install no executable file?
All OK, just your zips only suitable for 7zip archiver.
Hello,
I would like to get some more information on how to make such "debloated" roms. I noticed the hint at "rom kitchen" but i still don't know how to do it and which kitchen to use.
Could you please provide a link to the kitchen and a tutorial?
Thank you
Hey guys,i didnt find a tutorial so i will ask you here.How can i download a rom and odex it from pc before i flash it?Because its not easy to odex every rom i download with universal odex script.Im too lazy to do this(and many times terminal print errors and i have to do this again).I know it could be happen cause many of you create roms and upload which already are odexed!Thanks guys for your help!
I found solution from alin.p. So here is a nice tutorial:
You have to flash it de-odexed first, then odex whatever part of your system you want with the Universal Odex Script which you'll find in the Mini forums, then extract the odex files from:
1. /system/app if you odexed system apps
2. /system/framework if you odexed the bootstrap or the framework
Put the extracted files inside the zip in the appropriate folders.
A little warning here: even a single (no matter how little) change inside the framework code, will break the whole ROM if it is odexed.
where do i find the script need it link please

Do limitations I can't post external links
Get Sony Update Service: sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/update-service/
Get Xperia Flashtool: flashtool.net
01) Download and install latest Flashtool
02) Download Sony Update Service (SUS) and reinstall firmware of your phone (backup your data first)
Follow the steps in SUS
03) After that, go to SUS installation folder and search for folder db/some Number/blob_fs, there you find some files, which names start "FILE_"
04) Paste the "FILE_" files, which names start FILE, from blob_fs folder to folder "Firmware" included in the XPERIA Flashtool
05) Open the Flashtool, click on Tools->Bundles->FILESET Decrypt and put all "FILE_" files from blob_fs folder to the right columm
06) Click ok and after approx. one minute a pop up Window will appear via Flashtool
07) Fill in a boxes in the top of the screen, fill in what you want, it is just for you (A double click is needed on the first one)
08) Mark all files and transfer them to the right column
09) Now click ok and Flashtool will create backup of your original firmware customization, that you can anytime flash to your phone
10) finally go to the Flashtools Firmware folder and delete all unneeded files (.sin, .ta ect.)
Hope this helps

Hi,
If you are using latest version of flashtool ie ver 0.9.18.5 or above, you have to move contents of firmwares folder (all ftf files) to your user profile directory.
For example if you are on windows 7 folder will be C:\Users\username\.flashtool\.
Other possible reason that ftf file is not listed is that your ftf file is corrupted. It happened to me as well 1-2 times.

I would suggest you not to use ftf file provided by someone else. It is quite easy to create your own ftf for your device and before starting, please update your flashtool to latest version available 0.9.18.6 because it provides integration with XperiFirm. If you don’t like to update, you can still create your own ftf file using old version of flashtool but you have to download and install XperiFirm from http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142.
Follow the instructions carefully.
XperiFirm Section:
1. Select your handset on the left pane. You can then choose the firmware for your region/carrier in the middle pane. The pane on the right side will show you which firmware is available for that region. Click on it to download the file.
2. You will find a number of files starting with ‘FILE’ in the download location. Please take note of this location. If this folder include ‘fwinfo.xml’ then manually delete it before continuing to the flashtool section. If you do not delete this file, your ftf will not work, it will corrupt.
Flashtool Section:
1. Launch Flashtool
2. Click Tools – Bundles – FILESET Decrypt.
3. In Source Folder, Browse for the location of files you have noted in Step 2 of XperiFirm Section.
4. Select All files under Available files column and hit -> arrow to move all files to convert column and then click Convert. This can take a few minutes so please be patient and wait till it is completed. After this is complete, a new Bundler window will pop up automatically. If it does not, you can manually open Bundler by going Tools –- Bundles -- Create.
5. Select the ‘Device’ box which will bring up a box allowing you to select your device. You can then type in the region in Branding field and the build number in version field.
6. Under Folder List, select all files except files with .ta extension and hit -> button to move selected files to right side and click Create button. This is very important to exclude .ta files else you could brick your phone.
7. Flashtool will now start parsing files and once complete you can look for your newly create ftf file in Firmwares folder.
For better understanding I have uploaded Images as well, you can go through images one by one.
Hit Thanks if you find it helpful.
There is a new, easier option. Use the tool "Emma". It's a tool from Sony especially made to get a phone back to factory defaults. After this, flash whatever you want
I should put this text into my signature... I've written it just a minute ago into another thread where a similar question was asked

You say that, but I've spent the last 2 hours trying to figure how to get Emma to recognise the TFT file...
Yes, including googling. No way to point Emma to the TFT file I want to flash.
