First download the files we're going to need:
Main2Raw
SEFStool (megaupload)

Then go to the download section and download your firmware;
for example I will get the w810i firmware (you need to download the FS, not the MAIN!)

(just for those who dont know...)

Now extract the .exe's of SEFStool & Main2Raw to the same directory on your desktop (you can move them later) then open that directory and put the firmware you wish to extract in it... now you'll have:

then select the FS firmware and drag it to the main2raw.exe, it will extract a file, the folder now should look like this:

now.. i had a problem with dragging the .raw to sefstool, but if dragging the raw file to SEFStool4.exe worked you dont have to do this:
it would only give me a .FS file, not a folder... the way I did it was using the command promt. To get to the command prompt go to start>run and type cmd, once in the command prompt type this:
cd %userprofile%\Desktop\FSExtract (or the name of the folder you chose when extracting the executables)
then type sefstool4.exe <filename.raw> (e.g. "sefstool4.exe W810_R4ED001_FS_EUROPE_3_RED49.raw")
Posted Image
then it will get working and when its done you will have a folder called W810_R4ED001_FS_EUROPE_3_RED49 in the directory you had the .raw file, that is the file system of your phones firmware...
At final you'll have:

This could be handy for people who don't know where to put there files or just want to experiment with their phones...
i made this as noob as i could and described each step... ill hope it will help some out...
and i couldn't put this in the tutorial forum so if an admin would like to do it if he finds it helpful...

I've corrected some of the grammar and spelling in your post and moved it to the tutorials section.

Also could you please upload the needed tools in a zip file here at se-nse as you can no longer download them from TopSony for free.

I've trying to use sefstool to extract files from K750_R1CA021_FS_EUROPE_1_RED36 and K750_R1CA021_FS_EUROPE_1_RED49 (and others as well) and it always hangs in the same error.


(#)Supported phones: z530, k610, k790/800, w550, w810, w850, w900

Is there any version that is good for k750 fws?

SEFSTOOL4.exe keeps crashing on me when I drag + drop the .raw file onto it, but it still outputs a .fs file. However, when I execute it using command prompt, it just quits on its own. I am trying to unpack the W810i hong kong FS.
