How To Convert .ftf files to Flashable .zip WITHOUT Extracting System.sin

This guide will help you to convert a stock ftf file to a flashable zip file for CWM or TWRP or any other Recovery. Be sure you know what your doing before proceeding!! :)

Steps.

1: Extract the ftf file using any unzip manager or winter etc. You will see a bunch of files, but we only need the system.sin, boot.img, and META-INF files and folders for this procedure.

2: Go to META-INF->com->google-android folder and edit updater-script with a Text editor. Go down to package_extract_dir("system", "/system."); and change that to:

package_extract_file("system.sin","/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system");

3: Save and exit.

4: Now create a zip of the boot.img, system.sin and META-INF files and folders and flash in Recovery. Enjoy! ;)

If bootloop occurs then you may have done something wrong. Edit ROM again in PC and move to phone sdcard and try to flash again. If bootloops again, just flash stock ROM back.

Thanks!!!
