Yes i can, but i need the ftf files .42 or .62 st15a to convert my phone in st15a, because st15i not work well with bands in americas.
And I it cannot update pc companion or sony ericcson update service, he says to me that I have the updated firmware, and is not like that as that I have .42
don't worry about that really. As you can see i am from México and my phone says it is a wt19i instead of a wt19a and even so it's working great with telcel and i have 3g and everything. It is the same kind of bands as in your country believe me.

Help/ayuda xperia mini
I have ST15I baseband 56, android version 2.3.4 comp.42. and pc companion says i have the firmware updated.
it really is weird as you already flashed with wotan server pc companion should recognize the phone as generic and let you update to .62 mmmmm but well if you want to upgrade your phone there is always a way i will search for the ftf tomorrow if that is what you want.

Help/ayuda xperia mini
The whole day i looking in Internet for the files ftf for st15a and not found them, if some user of here could upload an image of the official rom or a file ftf for st15a one would be grateful for it very much.
What I want is to return to the official rom of st15a and leave it this way, is that in st15i erases some apps and I do not want that this in this versión.
Today also try to update for PC companion and he says to me that my telephone this one updated, here I leave some screenshots.
maybe this way,
try to edit your buid.prop,
and then update again your phone with Pc Companion.

Thank you very much for your help, and how I edit the build.prop.?
to edit the build.prop you need have a rooted phone.. install root explorer or other explorer with access to the system, and go to/system/build.prop; long press on it, and select, enter in text editor! and you can edit your build.prop

Ok i have rooted my phone, in build.prop edit screen which lines i have to edit to back to st15a.?
Thank you very much to everyone with bring me help, really thank you.
The solution is this for another users:
1-Download the file for this link: http://pastebin.com/yjcmxqpm
2-save the .txt file in the SD
3-install the ES file explorer, you must root to copy st15a.txt file into System folder.
4-copy st15a.txt file and rewrite the file to build.prop and cut the original build.prop file to SD.
5-restart your phone, look in settings, your phone now is st15a.
6-Optional. Make a factory reset if you will, after that your phone still be st15a.
Thank you very much to ahzoe user for the idea/recommendation.
Indeed, you have to edit build.prop first.
Then download SUS(Sony Mobile Update Service) and try Repair option. It will restore firmware completely then.
Sure after that, i try it with Pc companion and dont work, but SEUS work very well. I did phone repair, upgrade to .62 and factory reset and now i have my phone ST15a .62.

3 root explorer installed on phone
4 phone with 2.1.1A0.6 for older buid try
1-backup you files Build.prop from original emplacement /system and cust.prop from /system/etc/cutomization/settings/
How Todo?
method 1
modify the cda on the build.prop from the original to 1236-0516
and modify too /system/etc/cutomization/settings/cust.prop with same cda
Method 2
1-download the files attached and copy them with root explorer on the original emplacement

Unbranding to 1236-0516 won't work for me.
Both PC-Companion and SEUS say that there is no update for me neither they "repair" the device.
By the way is there a list available with all the CDA's of the 2 minis?
very nice. thanks for information

You can always click repair in seus and abort repair after seus downloads the firmware and you can create a ftf from the downloaded firmware files.
Hit thanks if I helped you

I'm from Germany, too and you can use any ftf for your device and it'll work great. Just use maybe the generic world...
Otherwise do it with seus and build the downloaded files to an ftf like gouthamthemostwanted said

No, it will download current firmware if you hit repair and not update.
What about wine? Can't you try to run seus/sus with wine?
Yes you can build the ftf from wotan server. There's a tutorial somwhere here

my current firmware is a Custom Firmware ICS with xperia NXT launcher... i dont belive that this will be reperable by SUS
hm... ill try with wine
Maybe mihahn can help. PM mihahn. He is from Germany so he can get you German firmware through seus. Moreover you don't always get the latest firmware from seus, if you have gingerbread in your device and hit repair in seus, it will ONLY DOWNLOAD THE GINGERBREAD FIRMWARE.

Okay you are right if you are on ics this is a problem. Maybe ask on android-hilfe.de if anybody could download the firmware for you, because I'm on jelly bean and so I can't upload it for you
Just tried with wine but it looks like the latest version isn't working with wine, so that's a problem. Maybe ask if somebody from android-hilfe.de could upload it for you
thanks for trying

i think you can edit your "build.prop" file in "System/" with root explorer f.e to Sus recognize your phone to St25a & then repair with Sus
only you need the SI number & other from which you want to download ,

Are you repairing with PC Companion ??
I have done what you are doing and "companion" actually will download the firmware for that SI that you had in 3 places in build.prop , and when the installing starts.. THEN it will give you an error.
So you just have to cancel the installation when it gives you the error, and use flash-tool to create your own FTF with the downloaded files, and that FTF will be the one for your SI.
EDIT....
If you had a little searching on XDA..... you would find this

You should put 1261-3755 for SI number in your build.prop to get the firmware for your SI (1261-6383)

I hope that is a mistype, you need 1261-3755 in build.prop, and it will remain 1261-3755 in build.prop.

What SI number? I tried to create a backup of my fw 188 but it failed, cause server tells me no such firmware
So I have to find any ftf for my SI 1261-9039, because now I have no backup...
On my XU with fw188 was a bug that all custom contact ringtones was ignored, so maybe is something wrong with this firmware...
My SI number is 1261-9036.I gues something was wrong with it(i mean version .188)so when i went to repair phone throught PC companion it downloaded .184.You can freely instal this firmware because it's completely free of carrier and there is no difference with that firmware that you used to have.

Yes I know it will work on every phoíne, but in case of warranty claim Sony require the installed firmware to be for my SI (SI that is written under the battery).
So I really do not want to use Ginger bread at all, but I need FTF for my SI in case I will have to contact sony support in case of possible warranty claim...
