Could someone please share the Traditional Chinese (Taiwan) version 1.6 build.prop!
There's an official 2.1 and I can't get back to Taiwan version, stuck with SG and World Wide only............
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827273 try this.... this would work.....
Actually I have read that post from first page to the last page..........
The problem is that after reverting back to 1.6NL and root, whenever I change the country code to the ones I want(3 places if I am not mistaken), Taiwan, reinsert the build.prop back to system folder and then perform an update, it always update to the global version!
I suspect that there's more to change then just the country code with the build.prop in the original fw!
An update, some fellow androider share with me the original TW build.prop and it works fine! I haven't had the time to check the difference between the 2 versions! I will do that when I have more time.

i root 2.1 global,and change the country code in /system/build.prop(3 places), then force recovery in update service.
it changed to HK version in this way, it should work for TAIWAN version too.

So, as most of us went to Nordic 2.1 x10 mini pro update I would like to get back to 1.6 (preferably to original O2 Germany version but any version will do).
I have tried editing build.prop in 2.1 to values 1239-2971 (these values were from my original build.prop in 1.6) but SE Update Service says that there is no new updates. I guess that this doesn't work anymore
So, is there any old software backup of 1.6 available for downgrade?
Try deleting the db folder in /Update Service inside your program files
That doesn't work.
I could try putting 1.6 build.prop (original one that I had before editing and updating) but I am afraid not to brick my phone.
Is this safe to do?

Don´t do this. I tried it already. Doesn´t work, and will put your phone in a boot loop.

May I ask why you want to go back to 1.6? Is there something not right with the 2.1 upgrade?
I don't have it yet and am not sure if I want to upgrade if it is so hard to downgrade.

edit: I have found the list of issues with 2.1. I will follow this thread to find out how to downgrade if I'm not satisfied with 2.1.

I´ve paid to Davinci to downgrade to 1.6 because of the keyboard issues. I use Palm Graffiti in portrait mode and with my physical keyboard already being german, having Swedish layout on top of it was too much. Will wait for German update to be available. Otherwise no problems at all, only benefits - better battery handling in 2.1 etc.
Ok, thanks for letting me know.
It doesn't have any big problems, but as vlissine said there is this annoying thing with the keyboard. And as german update to 2.1 is coming out soon I would like to get back to original 1.6 version.
Also, I don't know is there any difference in Marketplace between countries. For example one application could be present on german version, but not on nordic.
At first glance there is not that much big of a difference so that you MUST switch to 2.1 immediately, except if the nordic version is suitable for your use.
Hm, no, I'm not planning to go nordic, I will wait for the update to come to Belgium.
u should try omnius instead of davinci. they charge per day of use rather than per flash and its cheaper

I did omnius when I unbranded my phone. This time I used Davinci just to compare. Omnius has one disadvantage - you have to chase their dealers to get credits credited onto your account while at Davinci it is straightforward and immediate.
Also charge per day might be interesting for those who want to flas a bunch of phones, not just one. But I agree omnius is cheaper and is as good as.

When Locale updates arrive, changing your build.prop to your generic one, and then using SEUS to repair your phone would do the trick. You will be changed to your local 2.1

I tried just to test to change Nordic into Russian by using this technique. Didn´t work.
I manage to downgrade to 1.6 for FREE. lol
Just download the FW for u20i NL 1.6 here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827273 and use the Flashtool from Binary's post.
Thanks zanndoth, this worked for me very well.
Unfortunally it doesn't works for me. Did al the steps (downloading flashtool etc.) but when I startup my phone I get the animating splash screen en after that a 'frozen' SE logo.... Still there after 15 minutes... Can someone help?
Ok, finally, after waiting longer, it finally works.
Thanks to you all!
Wanted to ask,
I have 2.1, using nordic build.prop method, and now the 2.1 generic UK update has been released so is it possible to replace the nordic build.prop with a generic 1.6/2.1 build.prop so it updates my phone to the UK's firmware,
any help will be appreciated
No replies?
can I just upload a UK generic 2.1 build.prop and re-update my phone?
I already try to restore my original 1.6 build.prop for have the 2.1 FR firmware, but it doesn't work : after restore, the build.prop is the same as 2.1 Nordic
sorry for my bad english, i'm french
I see, so it must be the same update then (meaning nothing different in nordic than uk) thanks for the reply
Yeah, because if you check in the build.prop, it's the same "version fs" : World 1-8 but not the same product name : E10i_1236-9436 for my 1.6 ROM and E10i_1238-0549 for 2.1
It's strange
Yeah I too Wanted To Do The Same As I Have Flashed Using Binary's Guide Nordic Firmware But now Firmware 2.1 is officially Released in My Local ( India ) What To Do Guys ?
Sent from my E10i using XDA App
First, you should check your old 1.6 and new 2.1 build.prop and compare the ro.semc.version.fs value (for me it's world-1-8)
If it's not the same, then replace your actual (2.1 nordic) build.prop by your 1.6 india. Then restore with SEUS
Hopefully this will help you

In my case, both says WORLD-1-2-5, I have upgraded from 1.6 to 2.1 using a Brasilian build.prop, now in Argentina 2.1 has been released, last night I tried to change the firmware using the OLD build.prop and it doesn't work. So I GUESS i need a updated argentinian's 2.1 build prop... again I GUESS.
What you guys can try is -
Restore your original 1.6 build.prop, (Or just change product.name, all three instances) save it and shutdown the phone (remember do not switch it on, you will stuck on SE logo forever)
Go to Sony ericsson>update service>db>some_number>blob_fs folder and delete all the files (or cut-paste them somewhere else)
Connect your phone to update service and force repair.. You will hopefully get back to your original version.
I restored my phone to original version through this method... Hopefully it will work for you too..
i have tryed many numbers in build.prop , but i could get no update on this new firmware ... is there annyone who can post the number or build.prop without branding to do some update? thanks in advance
92 views and no answer .... tanks for nothing .... 80% of the users here, only take and doesnt gave
I don´t think there is an update to German mobiles. At least I am not getting one, and I have an unbranded German ROM.
i dont know about the build prop but you try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894918
worked for me
Using a Nordic build.prop and sticking with it is the way to get updated as soon as an update rolls out I think (given that the Nordic fw works for you).

Hi, the updating procedure isn't just based on the build.prop.
When you connect your phone to the PC, you will notice an .xml file in the root of your SD Card - THIS is what PC Companion, OTA and SEUS Read and decides weather you need an update.
It is created each time you boot your device and consists of parts from build.prop and another file: "/system/etc/default-capability.xml"
My advice:
Edit your build.prop and look for the line starting: "ro.semc.version.fs=" and make sure it says "ro.semc.version.fs=WORLD-1-8" (without the quotes). UPDATE: You may need to do more as there are other factor too apparently, read this thread and download the DISABLE file for your device/firmware: Enable JIT
Follow this guide: [GUIDE to softlock] but change the version to 2.0.A.0.504.
Combined, this should, in theory, allow you to update to a generic 2.0.A.0.24.
Hope this helps!
A new update from SE is avaible for Xperia x8
it's version is 2.1.A.0.390.
It isn't avaible for Poland so I can't check what it gives to us.
Tell me what to do if this is multitouch update to upgreade my x8
Oy!
Not available in Norway either. Think we were among the first to recieve previous update, so I'm a bit puzzled.
According to version number, it's the same as mentioned in the multitouch thread.
Any guestimates on its rootability?
Anyone have Cust code that have this yet?

If I only could get SI number with avaible update I could get it...
Can you give m SI code for the latest update 2.0.2? Cause I'm in Bulgaria and here we still don't have 2.0.2. I dont want chinese firmware. Nordic SI code will be perfect.
In chineese you can change language -.-
But still I want nordic FW. The updates there comes first, right?
Thought so, but I'm smack in the middle of "nordic", and no update so far.
Maybe this is caused by me running... i think it's the russian firmware?
I have no idea, but does the russian Si code is updated to 2.0.2?
Also not available here in Greece. Waiting...
Does anything change in location codes for each version?
If my memory serve me, I did post my localization code for nordic firmware around the time of 2.1 update. I'll dig a bit.
Edit: Forgive my nubness, but I believe this to be my "customization code" from the time of 2.1 updates: 1242-7327_R3B
No idea if thats what you're looking for.
no notification on the SE Update site?
is this update going to delete everything (apps, sms) from my phone again?
I'm from Russia, but we dont have this update too...
update not yet available for me too..
its been certified..

Hello,
I'm root the phone through generic .058 and updated to .062 that is again generic. I'm looking for the greek stock firmware or a way to change the region to greek, in order to take greek updates and/or have a way to fully restore the phone to the initial state. I can't find something, but only the generic .058 firmware. Is there is any list with the variants of the LWW Wt19i? Thanks in advance.

Use root explorer and edit /system/build.prop to match your SI
With Greek (at least) firmware you can send sms with 160 characters, with world not. I've tried to change si but the option was not there
