I tried all apps from this forums but none of 'em worked (it works with 2.3 gingerbread). I'm using windows 11

download, unpack and open the folder. copy the .sin file(s) into the folder and create a new folder called "output" =>

C:\Users\$NAME\Downloads\sony_dump_tools\output

sony_dump output <name of your *.sin file>

And here is the cmd

as you can see everything is fine. the file is called *.unknown because the tool don't know what it is. but it's not an error.

rename system.sin.unknown => system.ext4

download and install 7z from here. Then open system.ext4 with it.

Then we have to find out what kind of file type was unpacked.

Please install HxD - Hex Editor.

=> choose your language and "Edition = installable"

=> open HxD > go to "File" (top left) > "Open" > select "system.ext4"

=> press F11 and make screenshot
