[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/flash/mobile_phones/companies/sony_ericsson/models/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) On Device write the model [ex. Xperia X8(E10i)], on Version write the firmware version and/or the Android version [ex. 2.1.1.A.0.6 (Eclair_2.1)], on Branding write the region and your name if you wish [ex. Greek (by Leajian)].
13) Click OK
14) On Device Selection choose the device it is for (ex. E10i)
15) Wait very patiently...
16) When it finishes the .ftf file is located on C:\Flashtool\firmwares
17) SHARE IT ON XDA!!!

No, that would be completely stupid. I made a guide on how to install this, I didn't make how to obtain the FTF.

It's just a way of keeping a local version of your original phone software..
You can flash it using flashtool instead of having to rely on SEUS..

Want to flash roms , .zips or kernels but too lazy to do it all yourself? Well now with the HTC Flash Help Tool (HTCFHT) you don't have to! HTCFHT automates all of the commands for flashing .zips and kernels. All you have to do is have your HTC phone on and unlocked with ADB debugging on.Soon it'll even unlock your bootloader!

How to:

-Phone is unlocked
-The zip that you want to flash is named "flash.zip"

Step 1: Place the boot.img/zip in the Tools folder

I should flash by CWM or TWRP ?

TWRP is recommended but what ever you install in step 3

How come the flashable zip is so small 39.9 mb ?Should not be round 750mb?
i am in 4.2 rooted
well something is wrong with the download ,now ended at 90mb ,i assume is round 750mb ,will try with another browser ..
Edit,
Dear OP could you please upload the flahable.zip somewhere else too ,tried already 5 times ,the download is been interrupt always with firefox,chrome or ie
Thanks

The flashable zip should be 742MB I will upload to another host and I have removed the link.
If you have a torrent client get faster download with the torrent or use my other mirror

[Q] Extract FTF Image from Z1.

Hey, like the title say I want to extract the entire system to FTF file, classic FTF from my phone to flash it on other Z1.

If you have recovery on both devices you can just backup on one and restore on other device.
You can restore system only without data and apps.
Google for tutorial, if you need ftf and can't do that with recovery.

They are Stock, no recovery, no root, I have to connect via USB and extract the FTF. I googled for tutorial and I get one for X10, Z and ICS but was not really helping and they are not for Z1 so if you can just semplify the search posting the right link or app for Z1 I will appreciate it.
Thanx.

So, nothing there.
I'm not sure for link, I just said - try to Google.
Hmm...
Really don't know, I guess extracting dump won't help to create ftf.
You checked on NUT thread?
He has tutorial for creating ftf, it's not same but maybe you get idea from there?
Check here and try to ask NUT on this thread - I'm sure he will know the answer.

Perhaps the Sony PC Companion app would be useful?

Android programs are compiled into*.dex(Dalvik Executable) files, which are in turn zipped into a single*.apk*file on the device..dex*files can be created by automatically translating compiled applications written in the Java programming language.
In one sentence:
If you wanna use custom themes and mods you have to deodex your ROM.
