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...

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

All the files you want to bundle need to be in one folder and look similar to this
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27083072/XDA/files.JPG
Then open flashtool and find the folder when you get to teh folder the location shoold appear blank, click open and you will get this

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

Hi @all,
I´m using the Flashtool and other provided tools here in the Forum for a long time (thanks to all people who are involved in the developing)
Now I want to give something back.
I´m not a developer but I understand (hopefully) basic things.
I have also some phones which does not support the flashmode so I am reliant to the fastboot mode and CWM.
At this point my goal was to flash the stock ROM to the Xperia Z.
I found a tuturial how to make a flashable zip file for CWM but it was for old devices with yaffs2 filesystem and the new ones have ext4.
After some search I found everything what is needed and I want to share it with you.
The Tutorial covers basic things but maybe it will help some people who will try it.
Step 1
Download the Stock-FW you want (FTF-File)
Step 2
Rename the .ftf File to .zip
Step 3
Extract the system.sin (with 7zip or WinRar for example)
Step 4
Open Flashtool go to "Tools" -> "Sin Editor" -> Choose the extracted system.sin and push "extract" Data
Step 5
You will get an system.ext4 file
Step 6
We have to extract the files which are in the system.ext4 file - for this I used the DiskInternal Linux Reader
Step 7
After extracting the files you have to put all the files in a folder named "system" (low letters)
Step 8
Create a folder named for example "Firmware"
Step 9
Put the "system" folder in the "Firmware" folder
Step 10
Download the Attached META-INF File - extract it and copy the META-INF Folder in the "Firmware" folder
Step 11
Now you have in your "Firmware" folder two sub-folders
"system" and "META-INF"
Now you only have to zip the both folders for example with 7zip or WinRar
Important: You have to set the compression to "Store"
Step 12
Copy the zip File to your SD-Card and flash it with CWM
If you want you can now add files to the system folder - like busy box - and or modify things and flash it over CWM.
Special thanks to Bin4ry

Learned ! Thank you.
Nice tutorial!
EDIT: The flashable zip is huge (990MB), did this have anything to do with the compression being set to 'store'?

If you don't set it to store it wont work at all, no rom/flashable zip have anything other than store compression the same goes for bootanimations
Edit: OP/Mod you might just want to change TFT file to FTF in step 1

Edit2: It seems like this only goes for bootanimations, sorry my bad.
Great.....learning it now
Thanks for the positive feedback.
Changed also the typo on Step 1
I've tried setting compression to 'Normal' and all seems to be going fine...

You have to selected the .ext4 file open with LinuxReader. (like you .doc file with Word)
LinuxReader will "mounted" it in his own window, open your "new" disk (2Go) then select the "Save" option above...

did it via linux ! thanks any way !
When I tried to extract Xperia S's stock rom from the ftf using DiskReaderInternals, then the rom would boot but USB would never work. Even the guy above me (ShivangDave) tried extracting using DiskReaderInternals for Miro but the rom failed to boot and got stuck at the Sony logo. That's why it is better to use linux to extract the system.ext4 image.

This Tutorial should also work with the Neo V. Only one thing could be different.
But depending on your Android Version (when I remember well) it could be possible that you have instead of an ext4 file a yaffs2 file. In this case you can search the forum for an how to for this extension.

I use a template for flashing various things and I just drop stuff in it using Normal compression and it flashes ok, might be more important for full ROMs or zips to be run on the Phone like a boot animation, but for flashing the odd apk or other file I don't think it matters.

Hello!
I just downloaded this latest firmware using the Sony PC Companion, decrypted and used Flashtool beta to repackage it to FTF. Tried it on my own Sony Xperia Z and everything works great!
Please use the Tutorial on how to flash the Stock FTF ROM using Flashtool
Download the two files from Dev-Host and use WinRAR to join them together. Just unzip both files in the same folder and let WinRAR do its thing.
File #1: http://d-h.st/F2n (WinRAR Archive 237 MB)
File #2: http://d-h.st/Ebf (WinRAR Archive 512 MB)
Some things to note;
- You do not have to be rooted to flash this with Flashtool
- You can flash this with either a locked or unlocked bootloader
- Your Xperia Z's bootloader stays unlocked thus keeping the Bravia Engine
- Customization code for this firmware is 1271-0119_R5B
Hope this helps out people who are looking for the Generic US ROM to flash on their Xperia Z.
I would appreciate a Thanks if this post was useful to you.
Enjoy!
Cannot unzip file... please update on how to unzip? keep on getting error..

He said FTF, so no, it's not a flashable ZIP... Stock firmware comes in FTF files, custom ROMs in flashable ZIP. Just flash the FTF with Flashtool.

Yes, I checked them last night. I even tried it here on my work computer and everything went through. Make sure both the Xperia_Z_C6602_10.3.A.0.423_Generic US.zip and the Xperia_Z_C6602_10.3.A.0.423_Generic US.z01 files are on the same folder. Have WinRAR open the Zip file and extract! WinRAR should be able to know what to do. Try it out again!

IDM does not convert anything, it just changes the filename extension to .zip because it recognizes a ZIP file. To extract this archive successfully, the filename extensions may not be changed, so disable IDM or change it back to .z01 after downloading.

I think the lollipop firmware is here

Deleted
So when I repaired the zip file with winrar, I was able to recover these files.
Scatter file shows HTC_A50ML which is the D820ys, it comes with Lollipop out of the box.
This zip file is encrypted, only if one could find a password to crack it, or if someone has the knowhow to extract this kind of files

is this update available for d820ts???
