How to Extract kernel, Meta_inf and Rom from FTF file - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hi.. I've been trying to extract the FTF file... the unzipping and converting the system.sin works for extracting the system folder, but I also need the META_INF and the stock kernel...
How do i extract it from the ftf file?
I'm trying using the KeiranFTW-Xperia-Toolkit through Ubuntu 12.04 but it gives an error saying libmono.so.0 isnt present... so binary files like unyaffs and sin2img dont work...
DO i need a specific version of ubuntu for this?
Or can anyone provide me a link for the Stock rom in flashable zip format, so that i can get the META_INF and kernel directly...
Thankz..

How to extract .ftf file??

Any one know how? or how to add and remove a file in the .ftf in flashtools?
1.Unpack .ftf file(as .zip or .rar) to get the file : system.sin
2.Use SIN2IMG.exe to transfer system.sin into system.img
3.Use unyaffs.exe to upack the system.img into resources you need
You can download SIN2IMG & unyaffs from the Internet
It's not an easy thing to add resources into .ftf file
Actually,Linux enviornment is required to pack the resources into .img file
But you may use Cygwin(HTC [email protected]) to help you do such things.

Thanks, now how do I repack it to .ftf ?
i need the same help
Unless you are modifying the baseband or kernel, it may be easier to make an xrecovery zip from system.img once you unpack and modify it however you want to.
Seems all 2.3.3 SE roms are on the same kernel/BB so if you're on the right ones already all you'll need is an xrec zip to build the rest. If you are on an older/different kernel/BB then Doomlord has an ftf package with just those 2 things & detailed instructions on how to get it going.

how were you able to unpack the .img file
I am able to extract the system.sin
then create a system.img with sin2img.exe, but when I try to unpack the .img file, unyaffs.exe only gives me stackfiles and not a new directory.
can you help with this, am I doing something wrong ?

Thanks for the links i already got guides to make my own rom.Am using dsixda' android kitchen and as the per the instruction given.For xperia x10
"First reinstall a Android 2.1.
Then root it.
Install a XRecovery.
Then backup it.
Now you will get system.img in backup folder."
My doubt is wether this backup should be dont with the stock rom itself or can i use an existing custom rom?And if it should be from stock rom then is it enough use the system.img file obtain by extracting ftf and then using sin2img?

[q] extract full samsung rom

how can i extract a full rom to use with dsixda kitchen version 0.224? im trying to extract it with 7zip but even though it extracts it i get an error when doing so. all i want to do is get a stock rom to work (extract it and set it up) with the kitchen to do a rom.
so far:
1. downloaded rom from sammobile.com/firmwares/
- it downloads in zip format and after extracting the zip i get a tar.md5 file and a dll file
2. trying to extract full rom to use in kitchen, which is where im stuck...
thanks in advance
rename the file from whatEverTheNameWas.tar.md5 to whatEverTheNameWas.tar and extract
