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.

Hey, I too have that 145MB rar file you are mentioning
You have to flash those ".img" files provided in that .rar file for getting the stock ROM. You can do it using fastboot. PM me for any help

hey i have the zip file..fast boot means recovery mode right ??
No sir, fastboot means bootloader mode. Press power button and vol down key (if u press vol up key, that one is recovery this is different)
The phone will get stuck at the boot logo. Then u have fastboot mode in your phone.

Update to the latest Flashtool.
Copy the ftf files in "C:\Flashtool\firmwares"
this is my location for you it might be different.
If u tried that and yet u failed, im sorry bro!

Its Not the OS Issue , because me too using Windows 8.
You uninstall Flashtool using Revo uninstaller pro, if u dont know what it is , its one hell of a software with deletes all the files related to that particular software which we want to uninstall.
Try uninstalling with revo , then install flashtool again.

I modified a TWRP installer with this CWM. Replaced TWRP with CWM on my E986 and it works. Updated adb.exe to work with 4.4.
To install just extract the zip contents and run the batch file.

No, you can't flash those files, but if you want to update CWM, why don't you install Philz recovery for the e980, it is great.

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.

how to extract dlpkgfile?

I have downloaded the lollipop update in which dlpkgfile is download along with few other, as I have goggled and searched so I know that dlpkgfile is a zip file but when I am trying to open with winrar or 7zip it return a error and I am not able to open it.

Where do you got that from ?
Maybe it's better to start with a KDZ and extract it if you want to mess with it.
