I tried it doesn't work
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

[Q]HOW TO convert zip to ftf file..try almost all xda methods cant success..

i tried almost all metods to convert zip to ftf but cant got success...kindly help guyz so I can ROOT MY Z1....PLZZ

You don't have to "Convert" but just to rename the extensions of the file to flash it. For example if it is C6903_Unbranded.zip you have change it to C6903_Unbranded.ftf. If you do not see the extensions on your PC go to Control Panel > Appearance and Personalizations > Folder Options > View, then uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types", now you can rename it, flash it and click thanx.

done what you say

I don't know if this make difference but it should be in C:\Program Files\Flashtool\firmwares. Then if you can see yet the FTF that mean is something wrong with flashtool or the file which you downloaded. When I downloaded the file from NUT link I don't get .zip file but a normal .ftf file so I don't know yours where it come from but one guy had the same problem like yours and he just renamed the file and everything was gone fine. Try to download the file from different source. On this Video Tutorial by Shem, in descriptions there are links to download the .534 ftf by NUT, redownload again and let me know.

i downld the same

You have to flash the right FTF for you device and then it will work. Then you have C6902 model? You should said this before. Anyway how you flashed the phone, did you solved the issue?

What the hell are you doing? Who told you to flash .514? It do not exist. Download from HERE the C6902 14.1.G.2.257 Commercial/Journalist 1277-1348_R1A and flash it on your phone. Turn on your phone and check if everything is ok, switch it off and hold volume down and connect in flashmode, then Downgrade again to C6902 14.1.G.1.534 Generic TW, Root this Firmware with Bin4ry Application and when you are rooted then follow the instruction to update to .290 from HERE, then update again to .136 from HERE. Read carefully all the instructions. This method is for Locked Bootloader and if you do all correctly you will have .136 fully rooted.

thanx for help

Go back to the thread where you got the ROM and read the instructions on how to install it.
