If i remember correctly. Install SEUS download the 2.3.3 update then install it. Then go to program files (x86) > Sony Ericsson > Update service > db > 13740270 (might be diff?) > blob_fs. Take the 2 biggest files from the blob_fs folder then copy them to a folder on your desktop or something. Then open flashtools and then i think its advanced > decrypt. Then just add the folder from your desktop with the two files in after decrypting it add the files to the right menu (fill in the info top right) and bundle them into a .ftf file. I think thats it lol sorry i cannot be exact since i have never made a .ftf
[Xperia Play General] cloud1250000:
thanks! but.. already tried... don't work... can't make the ftf file
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
I didn't do that. I just rooted and it is great.
[Xperia Play General] Mozza2k11:
Why are you wanting to make one? tbh i dont think you will need it. If you are not unlocking your bootloader you can uses SEUS to reinstall stock rogers and even if you unlock your bootloader you can now relock the bootloader thanks to blagus and then use SEUS to take it back to stock rogers
[Xperia Play General] cloud1250000:
lol, I just want to be able going back to rogers firmware (currently on uk)

just in case...
[Xperia Play General] Mozza2k11:
well even if you wanted to make the ftf yourself, you cannot since you have flashed the uk rom the ftf you would have made would be a uk generic ftf since your updates from seus or ota now come from the uk generic not rogers. You will have to get someone still on rogers to make it i thinks :confused:
[Xperia Play General] cloud1250000:
I still have the files from db folder ^^

2.3.2 rogers rooted to 2.3.3 rogers (to get db file) then pass on 2.3.2 uk, don't boot... then reinstall with seus (2.3.3), then retry flash, success, root and update with OTA...

Anyway, just to say.. I have db files XD
[Xperia Play General] thomassafca:
I tried to do the same thing, but I failed too.. Always get an error when flashing the ftf..

Maybe the files are corrupted, I don't know
[Xperia Play General] cloud1250000:
how did you have done with the uk ftf? you choose x10 bundle?
[Xperia Play General] jatt101:
can someone post the rogers firmware ftf for the play?
[Xperia Play General] cloud1250000:
all I can do is post the db_file.... my rogers ftf don't work so....

!!!edit!!!

[Xperia Play General] waz000000:
blagus posted a way to relock the bootloader, why not do that and use SEUS to flash stock?
[Xperia Play General] cloud1250000:
because I'm on the uk firmware?

If you wait, you'll always get better tech.

That page has a big mistake at least for UK phones: The GS2 has 1.2 GHz Cpus nto 1.0GHz so in real life there would probably be not much difference. The Screen size is personal preference and the download speed for the GS2 isn't supported by UK networks yet so you probably won't see any difference in speeds there. On Vodafone HSDPA+ I haven't got more than about 6Mb/s.

All applicable if in the UK of course.

just wait for the samsung hercules III...technology is always outdoing itself, so if you wait, there's only gonna be the next gen tech that comes out that would make you regret making that purchase. honestly for me, an additional .2" screen, .3Ghz cpu, and extra Mbps (that you probably wont even use) isnt significant enough for me to hold off, unless the original sgsII isn't compatible with your network.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
For some reason, T-Mobile's not getting a SGS2 variant. The Hercules is a modified version of the U.S. only AT&T Infuse. It won't have USB2G, Wi-Fi Direct, or Bluetooth 3.0. It'll have a dual-core SoC but it's not intended to be as premium a device as the SGS2. Think SGSZ.

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SGH-I997ZKAATT-features
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
If you're on T-Mobile and don't want to change carriers, then yes, it's probably a better choice. It'll be loaded with T-Mobile crapware and you'll be forever dependent on T-Mobile for updates. It won't sell in nearly the same quantities as the SGS2 and its U.S. variants so it will most likely have less dev support. Also, because it's using a unique SoC a lot of the dev work might not be easily portable from other Samsung phones. Look at the Infuse dev forum and it should give you an idea of what to expect in terms of dev support.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndreiLux:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intruda119:
Buy a sgs2 now, take good care of it, and sell on ebay. I gaurantee you can buy a Hercules for under 400 after release. And Still have money left over.

That's what I'm going to do unless nexus prime doesn't have an external sd slot.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSaw:
My 0.02$:

Don't wait for Hercules. If you wait, there is always going to be something better. And if you wait, the wait better be worth it. Imho this upgrade is not worth it. 1.5Ghz CPU is a waste anyways, nothing at the moment uses it fully. Plus that you can OC the original SGS2 to 1.6Ghz for free. The larger screen is a disadvantage for me. Besides the lower pixel density, even 4.3" is a bit too big, we're going towards some phone-tablet hybrid, and this is crossing the limits. I'd say 4" is perfect. The faster connection is the only thing that would make it worth it for me, but on the other hand 3G is more than enough for anything I do on my phone. Faster speeds would mean more battery drain for what? Unless you use your phone as a modem, which isn't practical for every-day use, I don't see why would you want it. Plus the hercules doesn't have FM radio.

As I said, if you want to wait, then wait for something bigger, like the Prime.

If this rolls out then I'll be switching to three at the moment in my area 3 is slower than giffgaff/o2 but I need tethering which o2 don't allow. With Google Music I'd need a stable connection as with o2 it runs fine but certain parts of London struggle.

On topic if you wait you'll be waiting for ever, the world of technology moves so fast that once you buy something there will always be something better and faster around the corner. Buy then sell.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xdenwarrior:

I'll update once I've installed it and used it more.
[HTC Sensation] Khagghen:
I would have to agree, the prices seem a little out of whack in relation to other products out there. The seller would really have to list key deferential features from their product to others being sold to help me understand the price difference.

Plus it looks like you would have to wait close to a month before having the product in hand, that to me is a really long time.

I could be wrong, but my experience tells me I'm not. FWIW

[Eee Pad Transformer General] jonitfcfan:
Another thing you could do which some people have tried is to change the file extension to mp4, which will play with the native player. I think DivX is just a 'container' format which contains MP4 video so it should work in theory, although I haven't tried this on my TF myself.

Can anyone test an divx 1080p video? Being software rendered I'm kinda not much confident, i feel it as a workaround rather than a solution...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sassafras_:
1080p video encoded using the DivX (or XviD) codec is really inefficient. It's going to be a lot larger file size or of lower quality than a more modern codec like h.264. If you'd like to play 1080p video on your transformer, you'd be best to transcode your video to an h.264 video stream. Not only will the file size be much smaller, but it will play back using hardware acceleration which is much more likely to be smooth than software rendered DivX.

Rockplayer, Moboplayer, etc are all the same thing. They're just containers for ffmpeg--which is the best free software decoder available. Pick the one that has the best interface and is free. Paying for any of these is actually against the law, and while you're not going to get in any trouble, it's stupid to pay for something that should be free.

Yeah, they are not hybrid cases. It's pure TPU. Since its a Chinese seller he probably doesn't understand the meaning of the word correctly. A hybrid would have a PC outline or rib cage, this has neither.
