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
thanks for imput
but
No, it will download current firmware if you hit repair and not update.

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.
Edit: mihahn posted while I was typing
Hit thanks if I helped you.

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
damn - its anoying that no one of the manufactures build a linux compatible sync software... its terrible because android is a linux

Hello,
I got 2.0.A.0.504 BUILD NUBER, how can I get to 2.0.2.A.0.24 ?
please help, many thanks
Hi Early81.
Your phone's region firmware is probably Italian.
So there are no updates from SonyEricsson Italia for their users.
You can update changing your region with this.
It's the last rom posted in this thread from Jerpelea.
Then you can obtain your root permissions with this.
Bye.
I bought the phone from eaby uk, I thinf is an orange phone..
I downloaded the rom, but when I launch x10 flash it gives me:
secm usb flash not founded
I connected xperia in flash mode with the back button and gave me green led button, I even installed pc companion, where can i get this driver for updating the phone?
sorry for my engish, thanks
U'd better use auto updste from se. Otherwise root ur phone by using z4root from market, install xrecovery and install .024 downloaded from this forum

Agree.
Try Sony Ericsson Update Service.
I did it today and i found the update you required.
Then use this to root new firmware's version.
I installed SEUS , it tells me I already have the newest firmware version... ok but at least now I have flash usb driver ok.. so I go to x10i flash in the rom folder , and it gives me:
INFO: start
and after 2-3 mintes exception in thread java.lang etc...
waht am i doing wrong?
thanks
Have a look in the X10 Flash Forum.... why doing an extra Thread? Read the 1. Post, everything is there....
Just change you build.prop file to NCB
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824711
And then use SEUS to update to the latest version.
thanks to all , I did it by x10 flah tool , after trying on 4 different computers cause of the drivers problem.. thank you all, if this post is not useful it can be deleted, sorry for creating another one

First unlock the bootloader the SE way.
Then flash the rage kernel with flash tool and you are automatically rooted.

It worked for me with .62..

What about restore my contacts and calendar? Can I synchronize it with my google account?

Simply open wotanserver.com
make an account, it's free!
Download the WotanClient application
and open it!
Select .42 firmware
and your phone will be flashed to selected firmware
But you must back up your data
I synchronized my contacts and calendar with my google account

Hello, folks.
At first, sorry for my bad English.
I have an Xperia Neo V (MT11a), and I figured out that changing the build.prop file to make my phone "pretend" to be a MT11i would make my phone able to play some HD games. And yeah, it works. But I am having some issues on some games (specially Modern Combat 3) that I suspect that should end by upgrading my firmware.
So, as I am seeing now by reading the forum threads, it seems that my firmware version is quite old (4.0.1.A.0.283, running Android 2.3.4).
I really searched the forum about how to upgrade my firmware, but all threads I faced stated that having the 4.0.2.A.0.42 is a primary requirement; I didn't find a thread about upgrading from 4.0.1.A.0.283 to a newer one.
So, how can I upgrade my firmware? Because, here in Brazil, PC Companion always reports that my phone is up to date (but we know that it is not!).
Waiting for an answer, and thanks in advance.
Sir search for sony ericsson update service application for your pc..
(can't post URL cause i'm using only my phone)
Use it if pc companion are not working..
If i helped tou!! Pls press thanks button..)))

Why don't you install pc companion,connect phone to pc and press check for updates
@OP: ether go to wotan server which I advise since it's simple for new guys. or you can flash .ftf file with flashtool

Then you gotta use flashtool,read flash tool guide on the link down

Then use the link down to download 0.42 ftf file and flash with flashtool,backup everything like contacts,apps,sms etc... before flashing as you will loose everything in the phone and after the flash it will be like brand new from the factory.

If pc companion is telling him that he have latest fw, will seus tell something different? I think those 2 are using same database

I agree, it's the same situation in Croatia, the updates come a bit later so you will have to flash it manually. I tried both and got no updates for .62 i think.
Actually...the newbies(i wont use noobies...it sounds kinda offensive) are a bit scared to tinker upon their new phones...they do search...but rely upon the seniors for assurance...but it is a boring task to answer again and again same type of queries.

I had the same problem with my MT15i but one day crossed my fingers and used Wotan. If you are afraid about command lines and other stuff like I was before I suggest you try wotan, it's very intuitive and simple.
I Need ICS ftf for MTi5a not MT15i.
Can anyone provide me one?
Please don't ask why I won't like Mt15i ftf
if you can give me than post or don't post saying "Why..............."
Unless you HAVE to flash an MT15a firmware (for warranty or something like that), you can flash any MT15i normally.
Sadly AFAIK there's no MT15a official ICS yet, I have an unlocked MT15a and my SI number still doesn't show on the talk page at sony mobile
Well, I am running MT15i ICS but I really want MT15a ICS.
I searched MY SI but No Update is available
Hope IT will Come Soon.

You really are a great helper.
MT15i ftf caused some network issue for me like data drop sometime etc
Also I really miss some app like Mcafee security suite
Gonna Download it tonight.
BTW, Is this ROM pre-Rooted?
and which Kernel do you suggest for this one?

Hi,
No, This Rom is original Sony rom without root. You can root it the sameway as MT15i rom in 5 minutes.
Currently, i'm using the stock kernel without any problem. BTW, my bootloader is locked, so i can't change the kernel before unlocking bootloader.

Ok, Gonna Root is myself
BTW, I unlocked my Bootloader so No problem for me to install any Kernel
Again thanks

Does anybody has any idea that for how long Sony will support our X10 Mini or X10 Mini Pro for flashing 2.1 (via SEUS or PC Companion). I mean to say that for how long we will be able to get android 2.1 if we flash via SEUS or PC Companion. When is expected that sony will remove these phones from their list in SEUS or PC companion...??

No one knows but Sony. I can't see them pulling that option anytime soon, because it requires no work for them to keep it in, apart from hosting the firmwares on their servers, but in any case, you can make your own 'rescue' firmware to flash with flashtool if you want to have it available for eternity
There is a tutorial for that somewhere, i think in the General section of this forum.
@ SmG67
Hey, Thanks for your reply...!! Are you talking about the tutorial titled "How to make your regional firmware a .ftf file". If yes...then can you please tell me that flashing this output .ftf firmware via flashtool will give me stock android 2.1? What if my boot loader is unlocked. I fear it might brick my phone. Pleas give some suggestion...!!
Thanks in advance.
