[q] .sin_file_set - Xperia Play General

Does anyone know how to use these files to flash an R800a? Or is there some kind of tool to convert them to an ftf? I recently used an online service (DivinciTeam) to flash my phone back to a Rogers 2.3.2 firmware, these are the files that were used. I'd like to do a bit more experimenting with my phone but would like a way to go back to the Rogers 2.3.2 firmware (to keep root) without having to pay for the service every time. I know there is a generic UK 2.3.2 firmware, but that didn't seem to work for me (phone was constantly roaming when used that firmware). If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Thanks.

Use flashtool and do a bundle creation and it should make the ftf out of those files but I'm not 100% I've only ever done it a couple times with my x10
* if that is gonna be the Rogers 2.3.2 upload it to the dev section please and thank you!*

sin_file_set can be unzipped with 7-Zip. Inside you'll find standard .sin files.

I've tried using flashtool to package it into an ftf, it goes through the decrypting but I end up with no files.
I will give 7-zip a go to see if I can get the .sin files out of it.
Yes, it is the Rogers 2.3.2. I will upload it if I get it working (don't have enough posts to post in the dev section).
UPDATE: Tried 7-zip, didn't work. Gave an error about it not being an archive.

Strange. You should be able to open sin_file_set with 7-Zip, unless Davinc Team uses special encryption on sin_file_set - I wouldn't be surprised if they did.

I guess thats always a possibility.
Anyway to get it directly off the phone? It still on 2.3.2.

Ok, I've uploaded the .SIN_FILE_SET if anyone wants to see if they can create an ftf out of them.

US has update to 2.10.7.15,it doesn't work any more by replacing the 2 files
i cant seus thinks my phones a different brand
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general
do the debrand again using the brief guide I wrote here link
I'm on vodaphone and I got fedup of waiting for the update ..Debranding with the R1FA016 UK firmware solved the issue and gave me the new R2BA020 update OTA works fine on VODAPHONE
note if SEUS is playing up uninstall it and delete all the folders but you shouldnt really have to just delete the whole db folder and it will redownload the files
If it thinks you have a different phone you may need to uninstall completely remove the drivers etc and reinstall my guess is you maby tried using the flash batch files or tried rooting and messed something up in the device id reg entries

you remembered to rename the files didnt you to the same as the one it downloads?!
let it download the files once it hits that 100% downloaded remove the cable to stop the update
now rename the R1FA016 files to exactly the same name as the ones that have downloaded for it to work
read the original guide over at esato link and take a look at the image
once the files for the 016 have been renamed to the same name as the downloaded files you can copy them into the db folder and overwrite the ones in there and then resume the reflash/update it will see the files you renamed as the original files and proceed and flash them

HOW TO extract CSC, PDA, PHONE of different Firmwares

Hi @All,
maybe, there is a Thread bout this HOWTO, but I found nothing to use...
There are now different unofficial Firmwares, I flashed JM6-JMI, I cant remember, which CSC, PDA or PHone is really good, some FW dont have all these three things, so I want to extract this Files to have the ability testing JM6 up to the newest JMI....
My really problem is, how to extract these files and got it accurate!
jammysunny
It seems, there are no person to tell me how.....
This has already been answered.

This will help. Galaxy S forum also has extra quality knowledge.
(Extract JMA.tar (for example) using 7zip to a directory. Then use MagicISO to open the cache.rfs to find a folder called "Recovery" Inside are two files. One says "command" and one says "sec_csc.zip")

problems with flashtool

im unable to make a ftf file with flashtool. i unzip the file. then search it, select it in source folder. The flashtool never opens the file and subfiles. It never displays in the left column. Ive started with a zip file, then unziped it. Ive also tried winRAR to extract the files. Im using 2.9.1 Java 1.6.0_24 os 6.1
Any help or tips would be appreciated
Hey, you must sure that in the zip file just one file .ftf, if so, extract it. If there are 4 files like system, data ... you must rename the .zip file to .ftf

OK, what you have is wolfbreaks rom, this is installed on your phone via xrecovery not an ftf file, if you want to install it you need to install xrecovery on your phone first, then install this from there.
You need a rooted rom for this, so is your rom rooted and what version are you on 2.1 or 2.3
I have x recovery on my phone know. That's how I upgraded from 2.1 to 2.3, because my phone is sim unlocked. Super user is v2.3.6.1 I followed a thread on the upgrade. I can link which thread when I'm home.

I've tried installing via x recovery, by loading the zip file on my as card and loading it with xrecovery. But I don't see the file when I'm in xrecovery. Something I'm prob doing wrong

Thanks @Jozinek for first release
Is this for the Compact?
Edit: I've just seen the file name
doesn't show under Flashtool
Seems to have been packaged or compressed incorrectly. I have extracted the FTF, which appears to be an ordinary zip, and am making a bundle with the files from the zip with FlashTool, which I'll then try to flash on top of 2085...

file 6.0_concept_Z3compact_2099.ftf
6.0_concept_Z3compact_2099.ftf: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract
right you are
missing meta-inf/manifest.mf file that's why flashtool won't recognize as ftf
Thanks, i can make a zip flashable prerooted whit prf creator?
I'm repackaging same as @LadFromWales85. Let's see how it goes
Yes i upload wrong file sorry
Open ftf files with 7zip file manager
Open attached meta-inf.zip, extraxt meta-inf folder and copy to ftf files on 7zip.
Flashed now, without your META-INF, though I need to factory reset as I haven't done it since Lollipop and Google Play Services randomly force closes, as does Album.
I really don't want to though, as without USB mass storage access to the internal memory I can't correct the file modify time for pictures and they get sorted wrong in galleries. That and I'll have a Z5p soon so don't want to invest too much time fiddling with this!

Ok ?
Can I install this ftf in a Z3 Compact with a locked bootlader?
Thanks!
yes you can.
i put the ftf file in the firmwear folder but the flash program wont recognize it
nvm i figured it out
Any available mirror op? just download the file via mega and it got stuck on 99%
After adding the missing Meta-File everything worked like a charm THANK You.
Fix file uploading mega and mirror, when done i will add first post.
how to add the meta-file. I opened in 7zip the ftf file and extracted the meta.zip file but i don't get any option to paste file inside the opened 7zip program
Still waiting for the Ota to arrive. Don't understand why it takes so long...

Trying to install Wear 2.0 developer preview 3 on Huawei Watch

I'm trying to install Wear 2.0 Developer Preview 3 on Huawei Watch. I'm currently using Developer Preview 2, so I thought I'd be familiar with the flashing process.
Anyhow, all the tutorials I managed to find include a part with running a flash-all.bat, which for some reason isn't included in the preview image package I downloaded from https://developer.android.com/wear/...ampaign=android_discussion_wearpreview_092916 .
Where can I get the flash-all.bat?
Edit: Umm, I decided not to go with DP3 at least for now. I thought I'd return to the official stock firmware, but how do I perform the flashing? Do I manually have to edit the file names in flash-all.bat to match the file name of the stock rom's name? Does it matter that the stock rom came as a .tgz even though the files mentioned in the flash-all.bat are .img and .zip? Damn this is confusing, and googling isn't helping at all...
This page is what I'm using as a guide. Worked fine though did take a bit to get the flash-all.bat to run. All files are included in the downloads. Top download is preview image. Bottom is to go back to stock.
https://developer.android.com/wear/preview/downloads.html
Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers mobile app
The stock download from that page does not contain a flash-all.bat.
I used stock download for flashing and ewerything goes just fine. Just extract all packages in same folder. But if you are interested use this link http://rootjunkysdl.com/files/?dir=Huawei Watch/Firmware. There is all revisions.

The downloadable files there are .tgz and do not include any .bats or .zips (I tried opening with 7-Zip).

Personally, I would be grateful if someone can provide me with the set of documents already downloaded and extracted; and, if I am not asking too much, to please give me a dumbman's procedure to get the Wear 2 software to work on my watch.
Having to now wait until early 2017 will surely drive me crazy!
