People with bricked rooted xperia play phones have been flashing ftf files trying to get it working again with a non working radio.
So what is the difference between an ftf file and the play_modded.img rom.
Like why can't people with bricked phone flash that play_modded.img rom?

simple because to flash an .img you need to be able to get into fastboot, and bricked plays cant

But why can't u convert the img file into a tft file and then flash it... or am i getting something confused..
and aren't you 'flashing' a tft file with "flashtool" ?

the tft file is a complete ota update, the .img in question is just a copy of the /system/ partition, to flash with flashtool you need boot.img, radio.img system.img ect all packed into .sin files and the tft

Hi
Is there anyway to make .sin file from the system folder and put it into a ftf file and flash it through flash mod?
If we could did it we could flash custom Roms like stock...
And a lot of good things too...
Unfortunately, no. You can only make a ftf file for stock firmware.

There ia a tricks to make a ftf file but they are not signed by sony and hence not flashable on locked bootloaders
I dont know about unlocked
Also it makes it from a persons own system folder already in phone

No. Ftf file must be signed or it cannot be flashed via flashtool. Locked or unlocked bootloader determines whether you can flash custom kernel our not.

They can be signed
Jst imagine what I am thinking and tell me if it will work or not
To extract .sin files from an ftf first we change its extension to .zip first or open it with a app like winrar, so basically its a zip file
We can change its extension, sign it using a zipsigner and change ita extension back to .ftf and Bam! Its signes
But not by Sony
Does it need to be signes by Sony to flash??
Maybe someone can try this? But to try I recommend only flashing system or data or cache, not kernel or anything
So exclude kernel or just remove the kernel.sin all together
I got a locked bootloader so sorry cant
But do u catch my drift here?
Think like a mad scientist

Hi
If we don't extract ftf file and just drag new sin file (system.sin) and replace it , that is signed by Sony yet(remember if we do s.th like this with an update.zip(replace just the same file that already exist with new file with same name)it is flashable yet...
So if we don't extract ftf file the sign signature will not change...
So we can flash it...
Just help me to make .Sin file...
unfortunately the ones that can create sin files are Sony
sin is an signed img file , signed with se certificat and we dont have that certificate
img file is an yaffs2 image
Hello. I had my Xperia S rooted with kingroot and I had also installed Lucky Patcher to block ads in the apps. My cousin was playing with my phone and when I got it back I found that many apps are misbehaving. I simply unrooted my fone and made a hard reset. When my fone rebooted Igound that many apps like fFacebook and fm radio are missing. Please help me to restore my phone.
Thanks

You can find a good stock based ROM and flash it from the recovery.
just flash .96 firmware ftf file through flashtool......
Please provide me the links where I can get the original firmware.
try this...http://d-h.st/e0a... or...this....https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-Eeawe_SEpJc0MwRkpxZlFEcnc/edit
hope this helps..
Mohit. I have downloaded this file but when I paste it into flashtool's firmware folder, it doesn't recognize the file. It is a zip file and when I unzip it, I get a lot of files with .sin extension. Please suggest me what to do. I have installed every driver, put my fone into usb debugging. Allowed unknown sources, boot loader unlocked, almost every thing is done but in the flash mode when I klik on flashmode, I get a pop up where I have to select the firmware, but the zip file or its extracts are not shown there.
The flashtool is asking for ftf files and I dont hav any ftf file

It is possible, but i don't have 802 phone to test.
There needs to be one of these for all models. Can you possibly make it available for the Verizon's lg g2?

Sorry, but i only have 805 for testing. But you can use this rom, just replace all .img inside it from Verizon .kdz or .tot

So first we unzip ur rom,then we use that tot/kdz extractor tool n extract the vs980 kdz/tot and replace all the img files from ur rom w the img files from the vs980 kdz then zip it back up right?
edit: oh also does this wipe internal storage like actually flashing a tot/kdz or do you keep the stuff on data/media?
Yes this is correct.
And by doing this will wipe everything, the same as flashing kdz

If you get this thing working, you better make a thread in the Verizon forum for it. The lg tool can suck it.

Sorry to keep bugging you bro but if i was to use a img creator tool to combine this the various bin files, (minus the laf.bin to keep access to fastboot) into 1 img file could it then be flashed using fast boot?

If its a zip file then rename and give the file extension to ftf.means if the file name is xxxxx.zip then rename it to xxxxx.ftf

if He could have downloaded a zip file, the ftf file would be inside the zip file and it would not be accessible this way, he would need to extract it.

I've done it with Flashtool. You can download ftf with xperifirm, then copy kernel sin file somewhere and use sin editor function in Flashtool to dump it into img., (or just flash the firmware, checking every box in the 'exclude' section except for the boot files).

That doesn't work. Flashtool says "sin version not yet supported".

That didn't work for me either, the phone did not boot. I had to flash the whole stock firmware.
Try to fix it with Xperia Companion
