Alright but i don't how to and i don't know how long that would take me and seeing as i can just download a .zip their you go.

Use winRAR and flashtool for that.
With the help of winRAR you can extract the .ftf file. Then if you want app you can use system.sin and with flash tool extract .sin file. Search the thread for that in xda it is available.
Hit thanks if I helped you

Actually, I found out you can just open the .tar.md5 file with any archiver, and extract its contents that way. No need to rename.

Is the unpacked .tar map the same as the system folder in a flashable zip?
(after unpaking the system.img as well)

No, it isn't, because the updater-script etc will be missing/incorrect

FlashTool cant find firmware!!!

I'm trying to flash the LT28i firmware but no matter where I put it, FlashTool isn't seeing the ftf file. Any suggestions?
Just copy the firmware (ftf) to folder Flashtool> Firmwares
( copy inside the folder of Firmwares)
If it didn't show any files after doing this in Flashtool, like (system.sin, meta.inf)then i think there is a problem in ftf so try download any other ftf of Ion

You can drag & drop ftf files to flashtool programs.

If there is one package, you do what seems the most logical - flash the zip as a one-package one as it contains all parts inside.
Ya i thought that at first but a guy on youtube flashed it as pda and he has 50000 views

Download Odin and .ops file.
Open Odin and select .ops file and check One Package, then flash the file tar.md5!

A little searching always helps You find what is needed..
I think there is no need for You to extract as Your files are already extracted.
