I don’t really understand you..
The question was how to create subdomains with same content without copying all the files.

I googled it, but didn’t find any solutions.
May be:
1.It should be somewhere in the wp-config.php and .htaccess to define that automatically all the content to be reffered to a root domain when create a subdomain.
2.Some plugin?
Please help, really need to solve this.
WordPress multisite is the ability to create multiple WP sites using one codebase (you do not need to copy files/directories). You install WP, then configure to use subdomains.

Your WP subdomains will have hostnames of: domain.com (main site), sub1.domain.com, sub2.domain.com, etc

You didn’t say “Same Content” before. You said files. For multiple WP sites with ONE install of the files, it’s Multisite.
For multiple sites with the same content it’s not a good idea. Google will hate you and kill your SEO and you will be sad.

OK.
The main idea is that we’ve got a product, and would like to put a city in the first place to have some search engine advantage (it was sucessful used by our competitors) :
london.example.com ;
manchester.example.com ;
liverpool.example.com ;
May be with a bit different text.
But the problem is that the whole site is a about 1GB as we’ve got lot’s of picture, etc of our catalog.
So, despite of your warning about google haters, we would like to know how to SET A PATH FOR CONTENT from a main site to have:
example.com: = 1gb
city1.example.com = just some few KB or MB
city2.example.com
….
….
That’s not what I mean….
Google sees “city1 has the same post content as city2. That’s not cool. That’s someone trying to scam our SEO. Bad example.com. Downgrade.”
Your competitors will be dinged by Google and lose their advantage.
You should instead do redirects. Have all those URLs work, but have them send you to the right place on example.com

Hm! Interesting idea about redirects.May be in the meta tags use some description of city for google, and then the meta redirect to a main site.
Also, I heard somewhere that is possible to have opened in a browser 1.example.com , but visualazing example.com . I mean, kind of a trick?!
Or may be it’s something like a frame with a content of main site. Dunno..
‘trick’ – yes. A trick that will hurt your SEO since it has multiple sites with the same content.
