1.First you need to download these 4 files
a)FTF extractor
b)META-INF folder and ROOTING files
c)7zip
d)Notepad++(Optional)

2.Extract ftf extractor anywhere you like;)

3.Open the *FTF file with 7Zip
You'll see these files and folders
Code:
META-INF
adsp.sin
amss.sin
amss_fs_urushi.sin
apps_log.sin
cache.sin
fota0.sin
fota1.sin
kernel.sin
loader.sin
system.sin
userdata.sin


4
.Extract system.sin to the folder where you extraxt ftf-extractor.

5.Press SHIFT+RIGHT CLICK on the empty space of the folder.You'll see a dialog like this
attachment.php


6.select OPEN COMMAND WINDOW HERE

7.Type
Code:
aIUP.exe system.sin 4096 system

9.You'll see

This is good tutorial. :D One question, after we extract to .ftf and .sin files, can we again compress it to .ftf file? :confused:

Thanks!

can this be recompiled to a FTF file again? I was thinking of a pre rooted FTF file.

Thanks

No you can't

No.





Is it possible to flash modified system.sin on locked bootloader even its packed to ftf again? Anyone tried this?

You can't create system.sin from system folder.





I think you can. We need to unlock bootlader for flash kernel. So flash system no need to unlock boot loader.

One question how do you make .sin file after extract it?

You can't make sin file, but you can make a Flashable zip

I am able to extract the file when using 8192, but after its extracted I can't find the system folder. I've tried it on windows xp and 7, but still the same. I'm trying to extract from .587 firmware.
