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


6.select OPEN COMMAND WINDOW HERE

7.Type

aIUP.exe system.sin 4096 system

That(aZuZu's tool for extract) worked with GB and ICS(only for Neo or Arc) ftf's, it doesn't work for Neo V or Arc S fw's, not sure about Ray.

Only way I found so far is, use flashtool to get yaffs img from system.sin, and then use unyaffs on that .img file to get extracted folders.

EDIT: log

C:\Users\Madfish\Desktop\ftf_extractor>aIUP.exe system.sin 4096 system
UnPacking system.sin to system ...
Error: Page size parameter is wrong.
done.

C:\Users\Madfish\Desktop\ftf_extractor>aIUP.exe system.sin 2048 system
UnPacking system.sin to system ...
Error: Page size parameter is wrong.
done.

C:\Users\Madfish\Desktop\ftf_extractor>aIUP.exe system.sin 4096 system
UnPacking system.sin to system ...
Error: Page size parameter is wrong.
done.

C:\Users\Madfish\Desktop\ftf_extractor>aIUP.exe system.sin 8192 system
UnPacking system.sin to system ...
Error: Page size parameter is wrong.
done.

C:\Users\Madfish\Desktop\ftf_extractor>

It worked on ray,mini pro.,neo
It'll work on neo v too but you have to try different compression value.
