Hello!

Is there any tool for windows 7 to extract, read, write EXT4 or .SIN files? Tried ext2extract tool but it can only extract, I need something that can read/write, anyway to do it? Or should I install linux for that?

Thanks

You can dump the system.sin (and other .sin files) to .ext4 using flashtool
Then you can use ext2explorer to read and extract individual files.

If you want to write a .sin....that going to be difficult. Unless you have signatures from Sony you wont be able to do it.

Hmm.. I need something to write EXT4, it's easy to extract it, how can I repack EXT4?

Yeah, i know that :(

No, this is what you need

FTF's cannot be pre rooted or have anything added to them, unless you work for Sony and have their security keys
you need a pre rooted .zip file

Hi, I know that it is 3-year-old post but want to ask. So I've already unpacked ftf file and extracted system.sin file to .ext4. My question is I wanted to remove all that bloatware software I don't need or use so can I remove files directly from ext4 or first extract ext4 files repack it to .ext4 and then it to .sin . I know it's wishful thinking but wanted to know is this possible.

    What is it you want to do? If I knew what your goal was I could suggest something
