[GUIDE] How to make your regional firmware an .FTF file

---

Okep. I assume you have the latest FlashTool installed already...

1) Get this (SEUS) : http://www.x-drivers.com/catalog/fla...seus/7572.html
2) Flash your phone with the latest software available using SEUS.
3) Go to C:\Program Files\Sony Ericcson\Update Service\db\13740270\blob_fs\
4) Copy the 2 largest files you'll find there to C:\Flashtool\leajian (I assume you created there a folder called leajian)
5) Run FlashTool
6) Click Advanced > Decrypt Files
7) Source folder : C:\Flashtool\leajian
8) From Files, select all (Click & Ctrl + A) and click -> to move the 2 files to Files to convert
9) Click OK
10) Wait patiently till it finishes...
11) From Folder list, select all (Click & Ctrl + A) and click -> to move the 2 files to Firmware content
12) If it is ICS, tick the Disable Final Verification Check
13) On Device write the model [ex. Xperia Neo V (MT11i)], on Version write the firmware version and/or the Android version [ex. 4.1.A.0.562 (ICS_4.0.3)], on Branding write the region and your name if you wish [ex. Greek (by Leajian)].
14) Click OK
15) On Device Selection choose the device it is for (ex. MT11i)
16) Wait very patiently...
17) When it finishes the .ftf file is located on C:\Flashtool\firmwares
18) SHARE IT ON XDA!!!

Reserved

We'll soon have a full collection

differs a bit from your guide

for example here we will copy 3 files from folder
in some other guide someone wrote obout excluding this file from decrypted files: simlock.ta it is needed?

Check this folder only after a complete flash via SEUS. After that the two big files we want are named after like this "FILE_XXXXXXXXXX" where X are some numbers.

Differs and may confuse users who are not that familiar with this stuff... :/

The third file you copy is small, around 64KB, that's the loader.sin which is automatically merged to FTF by Flashtool, when you specify the device of the FTF.

ok and now what with this file: simlock.ta
we need it?
