As the title implys would anyone be so kind and post the xperia play ramdisk, or better yet with root explorer look in the root of you device search for init.rc dump it and upload it, what i need is the bootclasspath, i ask for this so i can try and make an xperia play port over to my g2. anyways thanks
ps: yes iv searched on google this forum, no one seems to have posted the ramdisk or a boot.img this i could also use as i can dump it, and take out he ramdisk.
could you provide me a quick instruction how to extract the ramdisk?

well i only need the 10mb file one, the other i dont need =).
Following to
# cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 13880000 00020000 "system"
mtd1: 00a00000 00020000 "appslog"
mtd2: 0e100000 00020000 "cache"
mtd3: 17c00000 00020000 "userdata"
mtd1.img is not the boot.img - therefore no ramdisk in it.
Does somebody have experience in building the own ramdisk? Or could anybody extract boot.img or ramdisk of the xperia play?
Thanks
I got the boot.img from the kernel.sin file, which was included in a ftf file for the xperia play. From the boot.img I extracted the ramdisk. With that ramdisk and my own compiled kernel I could make again a boot.img and flash it to the xperia play.
Here are the original boot.img and the extracted ramdisk

Use flashtool.
Use 7zip to extract .sin files from .ftf, then extract .sin files with flashtool.

i extracted sin files and from tht i got system ext4 file... i need the folder of system ... how to get it from ext4 file.. pls guide me....i had tried sin2img , ftf file extractor etc... but all end with errors... do u know the compression size of ftf fie of ics...
How did you got ext4 format from Neo/V ics?? Neo/v use yaffs, not ext4.
For ext4 you can use mount -o loop system.img system in linux environment.
But for Neo/V you don't need that.
If you are using windows use Linux reader to mount ext4 image and copy files.
Hey,
I want to work on my own rom for my Mini Pro. I downloaded the SK17i_4.1.B.0.587_VODAFONE ES WORLD.ftf file and want to convert it in a flashable zip in order to use it in the kitchen.
I tried these two methods :
[Windows] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849867
[Linux] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513146
However, both are not working. I get errors that are still not fixed.
Do you guys use another method ?
Thanks.
If the decompression of the sin files doesn't work try it with flashtool, first decrypt with tools -> decrypt, you'll get a yaffs2 file from it and then extract yaffs2 with tools -> extract-> yaffs2 then you'll get a folder with the contents of the sin file
Sent from my xperia mini pro running cm10
Thanks I got it working that and extracted the content of the cace, data & system yaffs2 files. From there, what do you guys advice ? Should I turn it into a flashable zip right away ? If so how ? If not, can those extracted folder be used in the kitchen from the get go ?
I'm sorry for those newbies question but I'm just starting on this. If you got a good tutorial, don't hesitate to share !

No you can't straight away use just the system folder . You need a meta-inf folder, updatebinary and updater-script specific for your device. I can help with that if you are interested.

I said it because I've never signed any Rom using signing softwares. I just zip it with meta-inf folder.

I would love you to teach me !
I've been toying around developping roms for months now and the Mini Pro seems a good device to start with...
Okay first for the sake of meta-inf folder's file structure, do you have any copy of of a working custom Rom for your device? If yes then open the Rom zip file and you would find a meta-inf folder inside the zip file . Just extract the meta-inf folder and zip just the meta-inf folder and upload it here.

So I just use the the meta-inf folder of any similar rom and it will be "flashable" one zipped together ? I wouldn't though it was that easy...
Thanks !
Will try and report.
Ya it should be sufficient but there might be some junk code in it or missing codes for setting permission and symlinks for your Rom so only I asked you to upload it to check for some errors in updater-script . Just open the meta-inf folder and go through the folders and find updater-script file, open it with any text editor (notepad ++ recommended) and just go through the code you'll get some idea.

bro you will have to create a new .zip file out of the edited system files.......... and also with META-INF so that it can be flashed via CWM......... There is no way to create an ftf file from this again...............
Better move this general section since it's common to all 2012Xperia devices...

If I extract system.sin only can see the app folder, the others folders are empty, why? How can I get the others folders?
Im missing the files
CERT.RSA
CERT
and the folder COM
in the META-INF FOLDER.
Is this a problem when you flash the rom in to your phone ?

CERT.RSA & CERT aren't important
but you need the /com folder because it contains the updater-script, which tells the ROM how and where to be flashed
so you can't flash a zip unless you have the com folder, you need to download one (it is kinda standard)

Well yes but it would be much recommended if you copy it from a stock flashable Sony firmware ROM (not AOSP based ROM like CM or PAC)

ı see, but the problem is that I am searching for a stock zip flashable firmware. there is none :crying:
thats why I extract the FTF file than extract the system.sin.
I got my Meta-inf folder with only one file inside, got the system folder
but also no boot image? what can I do about that ?
There's no "meta-inf" folder in .sin or .img ROMs as it's a hack used to support permissions (as .zip files don't allow for them) and allow incremental updates where the .zip doesn't contain the whole /system partition
