How to Create an FTF file of Your Xperia Firmware (credit to Vijay's Tech Encounters)
What you Need to Create an ftf File:
Sony PC Companion or SEUS
Flashtool and its updates if any.
Internet connection
Xperia phone of course.
Warning and Disclaimer: Take a backup of all important data like contacts, call logs, SMSs, apps, APN and other settings before proceeding further. You may have to perform a clean install of your OS. While for all practical purposes, using Flashtool is safe but there is a very very remote chance of damaging your phone. You've been warned.
1. Install Sony PC Companion and/or SEUS. This will copy the necessary drivers to your PC. Connect your phone with USB Debugging enabled and allow your PC to install the necessary drivers.
2. Connect your phone and update or repair your phone with the latest firmware version. If you update/upgrade, your data will be preserved. If you repair, all data may be lost. So backup everything. Now, your phone is updated with the latest firmware. Keep put aside. We don’t need your phone anymore to create the ftf file.
3. Go to C:\ProgramData\Sony Ericsson\Update Engine\db\13740270\blob_fs folder and look for the biggest three files. The folder “blob_fs” may be located in a different place depending on whether you used PC Companion or SEUS. Perform a search for that folder if you can’t find it. Once you are inside the folder, sort by size and see the 3 largest files were just created (when you updated/repaired your phone). Copy them to somewhere else like C:\firmware.
4. Install Flashtool and open it.
5. Click Advanced > Decrypt Files.
6. Select all the two files and click the right arrow to send them to the right side and click OK. In a moment, you will see a Flashtool pop up window that shows all the decrypted files. Select all the files except the simlock.ta and partition-image.sin files as those are not needed and can cause flashing issues sometimes. Click the right arrow button.
7. Type in the device model next to Device (ie LT28i, LT28at, LT28h), firmware version number next to Version (not android version), and branding next to Branding (For branding if it is not a carrier branded device use Generic or the customization number of the device) and click OK.
8. In the Device Selection window that appears, select your phone model and click OK.
In a moment, your ftf file will be there in the default Flashtool folder C:\Flashtool\Firmwares ready to flash.
If you are going to upload the firmware for people please zip the file first before uploading.
I have the ICS 6.0.C.1.357 for ATT (not official yet) installed in my ION and I want to backup the firmware from the phone but I can't boot in recovery using fastboot (I have tried with recovery-nozomi.img for xperia S).
Is there another way to backup the firmware and create a ftf?

Not that I know of. Where did you get the .357 build from and how did you load it on your phone? If you have the files from that we might be able to do it.
I did an update using sony companion because my phone can get testing versions so I do not have any file.
I want to root it but and I do not want to lose the ICS that is installed.
I think that there is a trick to get the firmware from the sony companion update but I have to come back to a previous version. I do not know if I flash one of the stock version that you uploaded then I will be able to get the update again and get the firmware (which is the goal).
By the way my phone's bootloader is unlock.

And you have the lt28at? Did you get the phone from somewhere "special" and you are saying its ICS? Can you take a screenshot of your about phone page and stuff and post it.
I always get the files to make a ftf from the Sony ericcson-> update service-> db-> blob_fs folder using the two biggest files in the there.
Surprised to see you say its ics when it is only now going into testing with at&t and typically Sony doesn't put out testing version through the commercial software.

ICS!!
Wow! That is very exciting! Not only do you have ICS 4.0.4 but you have an unlocked bootloader. Definitely a phone we would want a developer to take a look at. Glad you came to XDA

If you want to zip them up and upload them somewhere I will download and make a ftf file.
Do you have flashtool installed? It will make it much simpler.
1. Install Flashtool
2. Go to Advance->Decrypt Files
3. Choose the folder of the PC Companion
For me, it is C:\ProgramData\Sony Ericsson\Update Engine\db\13740270\blob_fs
4. Select the three files that begins with "FILE_"
5. After finishing decrypting the files, select everything in the folddr list. Enter device as LT28at, version 6.1.C.0.357, Branding ATT, and disable final verification.
6. The generated package will be under the firmware folder in the Flashtool folder
---------- Post added at 10:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 AM ----------
Here is the latest FTF for LT28i (Still at 2.3.7).
Seems smoother than the previous version.

You don't need all three files just the two biggest files. Also when making the FTF do not include the simlock.ta and partition-image files. Those are not needed and sometimes can give people flashing issues.
Is that an official released firmware or do you also get test firmwares? I have the .72 LT28i firmware loaded and I'm not getting an update notification and SUS is saying I have the latest firmware.

i flashed to the beta ICS and want to be back on stock firmware
so i can get onto android market ect..
i tried using flashtool but keep getting an error
this error:
ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed"
there is nothing wrong with the usb port (i have tried others) and it is the same port i used to flash with
I get the error when it asks me to put the phone in flash mod (holding the back key then inserting the usb)
here is what i have
Xperia Play (R800i)_4.0.2.A.0.42_TW.ftf
X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_CUST-UK GENERIC 1235-7379
what can i do?
Try using the official software to update to stock. I don't have 8 posts yet so I can't post urls so you'll have to copy this into the address bar:
sonymobile.com/global-en/software/phones/xperia-play/
However, you say you're downgrading so you can access the Play Store? You should be able to access the store within ICS. You have to flash a gapps zip to install it however. You can get the latest ICS gapps here:
goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip

Since flashtool isn't working re'lock your bootloader using,
Unlock using: http://adfoc.us/423185576865
And relock using this : http://adfoc.us/423185576880
Then you could use SEUS to reflash stock firmware. Or download this firmware http://adfoc.us/423185569090 and retry flashtool this has a better baseband imo than the rom your currently attempting to flash.

You have three options -
1) Wait until someone releases the FTF file of stock JB and flash it with Flashtool
2) Relock your bootloader and try to do a software repair/update with Sony PC Companion/SUS.
3) Use Sony's official Flashtool for unlocked bootloader to restore your device to ICS/update it to official JB.
In my opinion, don't relock your bootloader but just wait until someone gets the update and makes the FTF file. Meanwhile, you can use Sony's official Flashtool and revert back to stock ics.

Root Xperia ZL with Latest .244fw
I Take no credit for this I have done zero development work
All credits to the great @DooMLoRD
This is a just a Guide telling how to implement his method
Requirement
Latest Flashtool https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8hAoiy5gSGVZU5zOHU4TFdJTkk/preview
latest Ftf file for fw .244
Ftf file for fw .423
Latest DoomLord Rootinf Kit v18 (no else would work in this case) http://www76.zippyshare.com/v/29480564/file.html
Make sure device is on latest .244 fw (If not then wait for the official update)
NOTE: We need complete file only to flash the Kernel.sin & Loader.sin
OR
Use the files provided by me which contain the required files only (easier method)
These kernel files are from C6502 if you have another device they might not work. In that case use the complete FTF files for your device and root using complete ftf method
Latest .244 file https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8hAoiy5gSGVcDI4di1YTnNYSkU/edit?pli=1
Older fw.423 file https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8hAoiy5gSGVbmtOY2lyMUc0OXM/edit?pli=1
How (Using complete ftf packages)
Flash only the kernel.sin & loader.sin from older .423ftf package using FlashTool
Uncheck all wipe options
Check all exclude option EXCEPT Exclude Kernel
Now flash this using flashtool
Reboot the device and make sure USB Debugging & Unknown Sources are allowed in settings
Now root using the latest DoomLord Kit v18 (No other version of kit will work)
Turn Off the Device and put in Flash Mode (Press Volume Down while attaching usb cable)
Now open the latest .244ftf package and repeat the check and uncheck process as earlier
Flash only the Kernel.sin & Loader.sin
Reboot the Device
Done !!
OR
How (Using given ftf files) EASIER WAY
These kernel files are from C6502 if you have another device they might not work. In that case use the complete FTF files for your device and root using complete ftf method
Flash the .423 kernel ftf package using FlashTool
Reboot the device and make sure USB Debugging & Unknown Sources are allowed in settings
Now root using the latest DoomLord Kit v18 (No other version of kit will work)
Turn Off the Device and put in Flash Mode (Press Volume Down while attaching usb cable)
Now open the latest .244kernel ftf package and flash it
Reboot the Device
Done !!
I take no responsibility for any kind of damage to your Phone
Do all this at your own risk
Thankyou @DooMLoRD for your great work

Enjoy!
Thanks
Crash338,
I just want to be clear on the steps for rooting with the files you provided:
open FlashTool and flash the part 1 file
now once flashing is done reboot device and connect to PC in usb debuggin mode
CLOSE FLASHTOOL <<< VVVIMP STEP
extract the file DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v18_perf-event-exploit.zip to root directory on c:\
execute runme_ file corresponding to your OS on desktop PC, this will execute a SPECIAL version of easy rooting toolkit <<< VVVIMP STEP
after rooting is over the device will restart
you can verify if device is rooted by checking for SuperSU app (it is the newest version)
once thats done now power down device and open FlashTool again
now flash part 2 file
thats it after flashing is done just disconnect and power on device and enjoy rooted phone!
!!! Please don't flash part1 on its own !!!
(Probably can't, anyways, but don't try =p)
We flash .ftf files. The OP could not post the file directly, due to size limitations on the fileserver. Please download the 2 parts, then *decompress* using, for example, 7-Zip (www.7zip.org)
You will get 1 large .ftf file.
Then flash via flashtool, etc.
Cheers
Edit: typos
Thank you for clearing that up. Next question is what is the second file I flash? According to doomlord's "how to" you have to flash a second file
Edit: my problem was I was using wrong flashtool. I went to sony website and dl their flashtool which kept asking me to ul bl. Now I have a new question as I figured this out but still didn't get root. Did you flash the whole file or did you just check the kernal box during flashing. I checked the kernal only box and got no root. Was afraid of losing data
Hello,
The instructions from the thread below should be pretty self-explanatory.
link here
The idea: old kernel has exploit, but newer ones closed the exploit.
Fortunately, even on locked bootloader, can re-flash older kernel only.. get root.. then re-flash new kernel, and keep the root.
To be clear:
- flash full new ROM (which includes new, no exploit kernel)
- flash old kernel only
- get root
- re-flash new kernel only
(Note: my terminology may be off; the gist shoukd be ok)
Edit: typos, clarification
Thank you, I think I may have done it backwards and flashed all BUT the kernal. DOH!
Woah, didn't check the forum in a little while, thx for clearing up everything spamam1 :good:
Performed tonight and all is as it should be. Thanks for the help

I'm assuming you are trying to root your phone so just unselect everything apart from the kernel when flashing.
Sooo, my backup is gone :crying:
I've tried restoring the stock firmware with flashtool, but i just cant seem to get it working :/
I go into the flashtool and select the firmware but nothing happends (i am in fastboot)
- Is there a stock firmware that is flashable in TWRP?
1. you need to see proper flashing tutorial,
2. once you download stockrom via XPERIFIRM (last button (right) on FLASHTOOL )
3. create ftf file (automatically)
4. now select firmware and when flashtool prompt, connect device in FLASHMODE (not fastboot mode)
it will flash
make sure you have the LATEST version of flashtool and all the drivers are installed

I sort of got it working.
now my issue is that the new flashtool version cant find my files. I can use the older flashtool version but then i can only get to 6.0.1 and not 7.0
any bright ideas ?

1. usually autodownloads via Xperifirm goes at C:\Users\<user>\.flashTool\firmwares, however if this is not the problem and you have
2. two firmware (android 6 & 7) both are at C:\Users\<user>\.flashTool\firmwares and you are able to see only 6 this could mean
(a) the firmware of 7 is not complied properly
(b) downloading firmware again from zero, may help
3. reinstalling flashtool also helps
4. make sure you are on latest flashtool and xjar files are replaced

I have done all of the above. I can see all the firmwares in the older versions of flashtool but none in the new version (the firmwares are located in the correct folder)
- the only thing i can see when i point the flashtool at the firmwares folder is "Sony Xperia z5 premium" and none of the firmwares it's supposed to show me
i cant seem to be able to attach an image so i hope this dropbox link to the image will do
- this is the only thing i see with the new version
