is this rom only flashable through recovery or is it also possible to flash ist in fastboot mode?
Or are there other possibiities to flash this zip-file?

1) extract FTF by using 7zip
2) open flashtool go to Advanced --> SIN Editor --> Dump data
3) open file "system.ext4" using ext2explore
4) save

Ok guys, I got it. File location of extracted "system" folder is the same one where is system.sin file. If u don't see folder than the value (that u use for extract) is incorrect. Try all of them, 2048, 4096 or 8192. If that doesn't work u can try this method given on the link below:

Hit THANKS button if this helps.
EDIT: And this only works with GB system.sin files.
