.tft file

I had come across mention of this tft file several times here on xda forum.

Now what is actually a tft file.

Does this file really exist. Or is this a blunt and a gross spelling mistake by several individuals here.

If it does exist,Do the xperia models new and old have to use it sometime.When?

If it is a non existence file refferal then there is a problem.

The first time I came across the said file was a refferal to a firmware I was looking for.Later I found out from someone else that what I needed was a ftf file.

Since than on several occasions I had come across the exact same refferal files from others on different threads and devices.

The odd thing about this is,its the older members of this forum who are giving out this refferals.

And to whom?Newbies/noobs.

If it is a genuine file than I would like to apologize to everyone on this forum for creating another uncalledfor thread.

But if it is not,than I recommend that anyone giving information to others,which is a noble thing that you guys do,to please proofread what have been written.

My apologies.

Tft file is file that has the file extension .tft. roms and firmwares have them and they are generally stock rom/firmware. You'll need one, for example "xperiaarcstockics.ftf" when you want to flash it on your phone with the program "flashtool".

Essentially, it is a file that allows you to "reformat" you phone through the program flashtool

Or you can visit this :)

Superb. That's why I am still a noob.

And you are what you are.What are you?
[Xperia Arc General] Someguyfromhell:
Just adding some stuff.

It is FTF file format.

And can be used only to install back STOCK ROM. No custom stuff.
[Xperia Arc General] teddymild:
FTF = FlashTool File;)
[Xperia Arc General] eakav:
Could be ftf., and yes, as mention above.:laugh:
[Xperia Arc General] sandroidnz01:
I had been reading from the posted link but everything mentions about stuff which are not related to firmwares.

The only passage that links remotely to android is the use of Nidesoft DVD to Sony Xperia converter.

And I truly am unclear of the stuff written there.Thank god I am not in your shoes.(Developers)

But why refer newbies to such files in the first place.Why ask them to get this in tft.

I didn't know what tools to use to open such files until jiman mentions about flashtool at the end of her passage.

I've also scouted for a .tft file to try to use flashtool and open it but to no avail.

There is nothing on xda with a .tft file.Been scrolling for more than two hours. just to get a small sized .tft.

Imagine that.

Hey there my friend.

You are doing a great job/service for your fellow Swedes.

Coming back.I went immediately to the thread that you forwarded me to.

I clicked on every font in blue (highlighted) and could not locate any of the .tft files.

1)What is a kernel....

2)Update_service_setup

3)LT18i_4.1.B.0.587(ftf)

4)Flashtool

Maybe,I missed something.I will try again but the problem is I know I was thorough.

[Xperia Arc General] NeBouse:
You won't find any .tft file, just because it's clearly a gross spelling mistake as you stated in your first post...

The actual and real file extension for flashtool is .FTF , and not .TFT...

Read carefully what wrote Jiman :

"Tft file is file that has the file extension .tft. roms and firmwares have them and they are generally stock rom/firmware. You'll need one, for example "xperiaarcstockics.ftf"

He made himself that spelling mistake while trying to explain you...

so, long story short, .tft file don't exist in our Xperia world ;)
[Xperia Arc General] SammiSaysHello:
The link provided is actually quite irrelevant because it's a custom rom as opposed to stock rom which is the one FTF is usually concerned with. Examples of an FTF file -

Xperia Arc - lt15

Xperia Arc S - lt18

The ones provided are quite large in size because it's got the whole 'Operating System' of your phone (So to speak) in 1 massive file which you then 'flash' onto your phone with flashtool. Here's a really nice visual guide as to how to do so :)

Basically it just means the apks have been recompiled so that all of the data is contained in that one file rather than an apk and odex file, this allows you to easily make theme changes, etc.

Enable usb debugging on your phone, close Kies (also in windows tray manager) on your pc, open Odin as administrator and connect your phone through usb in downloadmode. That should work usualy.

S3 unlock code

As somebody said earlier call t-mobile and talk nice and they might send you the unlock code but this will work only if the phoe is registered with t-mobile (bought from t-mobile)

Else pay for unlock code. many sources available on the web or may try a local dealer who may do it for you.

Hello all- I have been an Android fan for several years now and started out with the I9000 then to the HTC Sensation, G Nex, Sony Acro and now the G3 and this is the one I am truly loving the most.

I know this mobile is not new and will be old news to many here but I'm just posting a wee thread for anyone who may be pondering a purchase to say go for it.

Beautiful form factor, great feel in the hand and stunning screen. Super responsive screen with solid feel, etc.....

Just rambling now but this is my little push for anyone on the fence, get this mobile and I know you will be pleased.

You also have the added factor of dozens of customisations and fantastic support here on XDA.

[Android Development on Bada] Perepandel:
Welcome to the club! I also got a Galaxy S Advance i9070 some weeks ago, which to me is like somewhat an "updated Wave": a bit bigger screen size but same resolution, same superAmoled, some more memory and a dual-core processor but same camera resolution (for pictures and video); also its lighter but at the same time feels cheaper because of the plastic case... I somehow miss my Wave because of the alluminium case (I accidentally threw it to the floor several times and it's still alive! feel like this new one won't resist that much!) and because the pixel density made the Wave screen look better to my taste, and it can fit the same contents in less space, and overall it fits better to my small hands :silly:...

...so I didn't rid off of my old Wave and I expect to continue using it for testing and who knows - maybe if a modem working Badadroid finally comes out maybe I would ever take it back again for normal use.

Anyway, an official Jelly Bean update is announced by Samsung to be available before the end of the year.

PS: also, as far as I know all the moddem roms for i9070 like the one linked by hero355 ara still kernel 2.3.6 based, so they are of no use for me. I probably will stick to the official firmware until a real version update.

yes, but they dont combinate the roms!!

sure i want a working flash light, but i dont want to have a rom that has painfull lag (non of those has, but for heavy games it has lagg, like mc3. it works only with chainfire 3d at fire v1, otherwise too much lagg).

so it will be better if they combinate them AND make different roms.

so its actually the same rom specs, but other builds like MIUI, AOKP, CYANOGEN

now i use every day badadroid.

only thing what i want (maybe others too) is that if they work togheter on 1 rom, the desteny will be seen earlier

[General Questions and Answers] ikjadoon:
Hi!

For the people who use an Android phone via USB to their car stereo: does the car stereo just make the phone a glorified SD card? Like, you just browse through the file structure on the stereo? Or, is it straight output? So, whatever I'm playing through my phone, it plays through the speakers?

Basically: does the USB slot on car stereos act like a computer (i.e. phone is glorified SD card) or a dock (i.e. phone is source for speakers)?

~Ibrahim~
[General Questions and Answers] Jarmezrocks:
Depends. Does your phone support mass storage?

Does your head unit support Bluetooth connections?

If 1. Is true then yes you should be able to pick mass storage from status bar (in some Samsung phones it's buried deeper in settings -> data more settings -> USB settings.

On some new devices like SGS3 mass storage is not supported at all and MTP requires Windows drivers to work.... I've not seen a Microsoft head unit anywhere to date? (I could be wrong but at the very best they'd be few and far between).

This can be circumvented with root access and scripts to mount a designated card and or an app like EasyUMS.

If you don't have mass storage support, you don't have a BT supported head unit and you don't have a rooted device then all i can say is good luck.

Just for clarification BT is to suggest that you can stream from your device. I've looked into reverse radio transmitting from FM app hacked but gave up when i discovered my latest device doesn't have FM radio what so ever.
[General Questions and Answers] ikjadoon:
Thanks for the reply! :)

Yeah, only MTP on stock, but EasyUMS works. But, I actually wanted the USB audio out (not mass storage). For example, all the playlists I have would be useless and it sounds nigh impossible trying to navigate 1000 songs with a head unit. Do you know if any head units do support Android USB audio out?

I considered BT, but no head units support apt-x (lossless audio codec) yet: even the 2013 models are using crappy SBC. A few home stereos have it, but they don't exactly fit in my car, haha.

Undervolting will never harm the phone, though it may prevent it from booting (if the undervolt is set on boot), or make the phone sporadically freeze/reboot. Some frequencies can undervolt more than others, and each phone's tolerance will vary as well. I've been able to go down -225mV on the 1024MHz frequency (or even -250mV on 1017MHz), though that's the farthest any of them has gone.
