Hello there,
Ok this is frustrating me to no end. Months and months of freaking wait and yet i cant get the update.
I have an Debranded X10a (bought in Canada) that I am running on O2 UK network. I confirmed that X10a 2.1 update is available, O2 uk has the update out as well. The SI number of kit 1232-4507 is in the list (http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/products/) So theoratically I should be able to get it without a hitch.. right ?? NO !!! I have been trying on PC Companion and SEUS for the update but every time i get the same darn message "Your software is update" but when i check its always 1.6.
What is it in this sane universe that i am doing wrong that I am not able to update my Xperia X10. O2 update is available, X10a SI Kit number is on the list, SEUS and PC Companion tells me that 1.6 is the latest..i tried installig/uninstalling.. and deleting the DB.. but nothing
is it not possible to get the 2.1 update in an installable file that we can execute after downloading rather then trying to get it on the whim of SE or the career. its kinda frustrating that a simple OTA process is making me cry like a lil kid
Can any one help me ?
Please help
Im not sure what 1232-4507 is, but if that is a x10i firmware, and you have it on a x10a, it probably wouldn't allow you to update via SEUS.
If thats the case, a couple solutions here.
Change region code to the one in Canada, and update via SEUS.
OR
You could just use the flasher located in the android dev section and flash it to whatever you want without using SEUS.
Hope that helps.

You did use CDA and not SI when you de-branded?
Try reading out "Software Info" 1st 9 digits of Customization Version shows your CDA. Should be 1233-6929 for Rogers or 1234-4820 for World Generic.
To access Hidden Menu in 1.6 home, back, back, home, back, home, home, back
If that shows one of the above, suggest flash, or ignore above and just flash.

Oh crap, so it just got weired
So In model info it says: X10a and Country as ARGENTINA
in the Software info the numbers are 1237-1014 R7A
I am surprised cz i just did a complete install of the os from SEUS. it SHOULD have not got the Argentina version..
So thats that.. i m not on a world generic..
Also, tried doing flash from the other thread. But when i booth the phone in Flash mode, it will give me message "searching for xperia" and will go on to boot the phone normally... Tried installing the flash driver uploaded by Binary but no joy there as well..
i am quite stumped..

You have two choices. One is to search the forum for changing your FW signature. There is a whole thread about this. Another choice is to fight with the invisibility of your phone for the flashing software. I think, this is the driver's issue. In Bin4ry's post about the last version of his flasher check the "Problems" part. For more detailed things search my posts - I had similar problems and actually this part was from my last messages. I just used virgin clean computer (in SE terms virgin clean, it is pretty old one) that guarantied me from any driver's conflicts. And try to use old, non-GUI version. Some people had problem with it. One of the last post told that for non-GUI version you just need to reconnect your phone when it began to search for it. In flash mode, of course.
Can you point me to the thread... Firmware Signature change thread is no where to be found, I have been trying all sort of searches
Sorry for being such a Noob on this !!!
Re: Driver issues, I have tried a couple of things, Tried installing the driver, moved to another computer.. pretty much same result "searching for xperia"
Didnt use the Non GUI.. wasnt sure how to go about it... i got macs every where not windows PC.. which is a bit of issue

Try this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824711 only good on a PC.
Driver issues can be a bear. Did you run PC Companion?
There is a rather long discussion on this in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719

I have no idea what should you do at mac... But actually Android is from the same family, as mac os - bot are posixes. Android is linux, mac os is BSD. Possible, it is easier to try to find way in linux/unix forums.
In case of windows stuff, you need specifically flashing drivers for the purpose you have problems now. You need to install only flashing drivers. You can find them in Bin4ry posts. There he included a link to non-GUI flasher as well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827065
If you have flashing drivers problem you won't able to use SEUS too - it will try to find your X10 too and will fail. I used another computer just to try clean Windows install - without any conflicting drivers and found right one (too old to know anything about this new stuff like PC Companion, SEUS etc). I can not guarantee the success, but in my case it worked.
So i finally cracked it..
For me, the issue was in the GUI version, i took a virgin computer, went with GUI.. same"searching for xperia" thing ..
i went with NON GUI... and voila.... it worked on first attempt.. had my phone humming to World Generic in next 20 minutes..
So yeah.. for some reason.. the GUI version didnt work for me on 3 different pcs.... also, used MAC OX10.6 with Parallel 6 to run the batch file.. not sure if it had to do somehting with the fix..
anyways.. to my next hurdle.. got all working.. but ..
So i Flashed my xperia x10a yesterday to 2.1.... after that... I am not able to change the keyboard to android keyboard .. its stuck on default..
Can any one suggest what can I do ..
While at it, I am looking for swype too... i know that the beta program is closed, however, was wondering if i root my phone.. can i just borrow Swype apk from some one on the forum and use it ?

Ok I'm sorry i feel i might get flamed for making this post. I have tried to understand this process but am unable to. What are the best Firmwares out there? the custom rom? what does decrypted rom mean exactly? and am i able to put the Custom rom on a x10a?
I have read a round, but it seems the threads are very sloppy due to people posting some dumb remarks. Any how i found it to be quite confusing. I am also unable to find omnious.
Thank you to all the devs. I have been following these forums for around 4 weeks, keeping quite and out of the way |
Thank You again,
Brock
you can now flash through
1.
SEUS and change rom/debrand phone
those rom are in specific SEUS format
2.
you can flash decrypted rom using our flash tool
(decrypted toms are extracted from seus and you can dump them using android tools)
3.
we have custom roms ready but you will not be able to flash them untill root is available
how to check?
I search many times but cannot find any clear answer.
How do I check/know my x10 is branded/debranded/unbranded?
Pls help me getting a simple clear answer!
Thank you all

an branded phone is usualy sold by phone carriers
they add customisation and junk apps to those phones
an generic phone has only the junk from SE
it does not have anything to do with network lock
I found omnious, but it only recognizes my x10 for the first 2 - 3 min then it doesnt anymore, i have tried the battery pull, holding the back button.
i have registered at both locations.
I am installing the rom with no SE apps, is it possible on a X10a, or do i need to rebrand my phone to X10i.
You say the decrpted roms allow dumping does that mean faster performance?
Are any of those roms the new smaller update? i have read around DoCoMo has gooten the update already.
Thank You

1. Have your x10i screen in lock mode and lit up..
2. Enter Menu Back Back Menu Back Menu Menu Back
3. Click Service Info
4. Click Model Info
5. Under the heading Brand you will find whether it is branded by your carrier.
I.E if it says Orange then it means its branded by Orange, etc

If you install the custom rom you will no doubt brick your phone!
The custom rom(s) are for Root for when it comes.
As for your earlier problem i think you may have to activate your account via an activation email, check your spam folders etc. If that isnt the case then the most likely problem is that you are trying to flash a custom rom!
Ok, first off i would like to thank everyone for quick responses.
I havent even been able to get to the flashing because it ownt recognize my phone. I have uninstalled PC Campanion not to sure what SEUS is, I am logged into Omnious, its sees my phone while i am holdibng the back button then the SE shows up on my X10 and bom no devices connected.
Which rom is best for me to flash my phone with. I have seen post of people saying getting better reception. Are any of those roms the smaller update that is due next week?
I am getting fustrated lol, I am by no means a Dev but i am tech smart somewhat and am trying to learn as i enjoy this tyoe of thing
Thanks

Ok.. remove your battery from your phone and wait atleast 5-10secs and whilst waiting press and hold the power button for atleast 3-5secs.
1. When ready insert the usb cable into your phone, only the phone end and
2. fire up omnius and make sure you have your username/password entered in settings.
3. Select x10 from the drop down list of handsets
4. Click on flash and select the App/Sw for the 1st entry (approx 16Mb) and FSP Customised file for the second entry (approx 112Mb)
5. Hit OK and hold down the back button on your x10i and at the same time insert the USB cable into your PC/Laptop
The most current ROM is R1FB001.
Hope that helps.
I managed to root my mini pro. However, I tried to debrand it and the phone stopped functioning. The touchscreen will not respond (thus, it is stuck on the "Select language" page. I've noticed that the 2 big files in the Sony Update Service that was supposed to replaced, disappeared. Leading me to conclude that those files are deleted from the mini pro.
However, PC companion, PC suite does not seem to be able to fix/recognize the phone. I've spent over 4hrs searching and attempting to fix this to no avail. Please help.
Long shot here mate, but worth a try..
Hold Home key and the power key from a cold restart. See if it resets to default again..
Good luck I feel your pain!

Try with "Update Service":you can download it from sony website...
Update Service will help, I also rooted my X10mini, after that I removed some apps and after reboot the device was frozen on bootanimation with no respond. I was recomended to use Update Service and it worked. It "reinstalled" whole device SW.
I had the same problem et I tried to solve it with SEUS but this software told me that my version is the last one and dont want to repare or install another one one my mini..(I can't see any button "repare" !)
Anyone have an idea ?
sorry for my poor english
Thanks for your suggestions. However, I managed to fix it using the Davinciteam software.
Well I guess that your solution is not free so if somebody found anything whcih could be usefull to me or anybody who can fall on this problem please tell us

Without phone connected:
Open PC-Companion and press Start under Support zone. Then press start under Update (My version is Swedish so i am just guessing what yours might be.) You will get a small box where the options are Connect and Repair.
Try that.
No, I have an error like "sorry, we cant update your phone cant be recognized"
I already tried with software like omnius, seus, pc compagnon, sin reconstruction, an utility of root by Mogway where there is an button to repare some errors. Davinci software doesn't support x10 in the free version.
I'll go on to find a solution, tks for your help

But IS there a repairbutton ? I am wondering because otherwise you might not have the latest version of PC-Companion or something? Also , when doing repair i don't think it even checks what your phone is. You have to select it from a menu that pops up.
Yes, there is a button and i tried all the software in there last version.
When I press the button "repair", I see that the program load "update prtocol" or something like that (update service ?), then It's start the update and 2sec after an error appear in a box "We can't access to mobile phone" or smthg like that.
Apparently, no communication can be done in PC compagnon.
My drivers are ok, seus apparently recognize my phone (if he told me that I have the last version and tell me that he see my phone)
A little weird huh
Under pc compagnon there is a repare button yes.
The error appear to the point "update motor boot" (démarrage du moteur de mise à jour in french)
I dont find solution yet

Use the latest Omnius, it supports x10 mini and mini pro flashing
oh sh... I paid to fix it and now there is a free solution, the world is really nasty
Well, if anyone can't fix it with Omnius, I can give some advice for DaVinci, but I really hope that I'll be the last one to use this soft (despite his efficacity).
I hope you unterstood me
what do u use to convert your firmware to work with omnius??
I have the same problem, stuck on "Sony Ericsson" screen at startup. I tried SEUS and PC Companion to no avail. How can I get Omnius, i cant seem to download it anywhere.

You dont need to convert them..
Just zip up the following files for the App.zip and make sure the naming convention is as below:

They do have them, you have to register for access to downloads and activate your account. I have just checked
Many months ago I updated my Rogers X10a to a X10i firmware. Later, thanks to a method and tools posted by Gorokhan (sp) I was able to switch to the Japanese Docomo X10a.
Now I would like to rebrand my phone to the current Rogers X10a firmware. I have tried many methods for about a week now. I've used the different flash tools from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683793 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=740240 as well as various firmwares posted in these forums.
So far I've managed to:
Revert to a generic X10i
Brick my phone 4 times
Debrick my phone as many times (thanks devs, love your tools )
Never ever been able to switch back to any X10a firmware
I've also tried SEUS, PC Suite, etc... to no avail.
I know some people on Rogers have done this successfully in the past but with various methods that don't necessarily work anymore. Can someone please explain what method, with which files, currently works to rebrand from an X10i firmware back to a genuine X10a Rogers?
Thanks
Download this firmware:

Should have the flash tool for 1.6 included.
Flash it then upgrade with SEUS or PC to R2BA020 (latest Rogers FW)
Thank you. I I will try this tonight when I get home.
Well, it did the job for me
If you don't run in java problems with the flasher.
DevID problems, damaged USB or whatever you should be fine
It worked!!
For the first time in my life I was pretty happy to see that ugly Rogers logo show its face Naw, to be honest, they've been pretty good to me, I have no complaints.
Thanks for the help tuxStyle
Do you mind me asking why you wanted to go back to Rogers?
The phone needs warranty repair. I had to buy a new phone in the meantime :/
I have the same situation but I don't know how to use the flash tool, can you give me a brief tutorial? thanks
Where is the flash tool
Is the flash tool included with the file? I couldn't find it in the .zip file. can someone upload it for me please?

I believe I just hit the "DevID" wall. Anyway to "overcome" this?
Thanks.
I ran into the same problem. Trick is, when you find the device id in the registry, if it doesn't work, keep hitting F3 until you find another one. I think it creates a dev ID for every USB port on the computer you have ever plugged the computer into. So either try different IDs or try plugging your phone into another USB port.
Rebranding Xperia X10 to Rogers firmware to get update
Follow this link for a brief tutorial on rebranding and then updating to 2.1. The post is just a collective of bits of information found in various posts here in XDA.
http://blog.jeshurun.ca/random-scribblings/re-branding-rogers-xperia-x10a-for-android-2-1-update
Hi. I've been reading through the forums and am thinking of flashing to the world generic for x10a (2.1, latest build) but don't want to lose some of the functions of my phone that may be country specific such as Google Voice Navigation for their Google Maps. I was wondering if Google Voice Navigation will still work after I flash to world generic for x10a, i.e. can I still use it as a gps when I drive (like it'll give me voice directions)? If it doesn't, any way to make it work?
On a semi-related note, I've been reading that there have been issues with the gps and wifi with the ROM update/flash. Have those been resolved with the latest 2.1 update that was released a few days ago (at least those that are software related and not hardware related)? The world generic is really the LAM but non-country specific without any of the bloatware that our carriers put on yes (I'm on AT&T and given their responses...ugh)? And if the world generic x10a 2.1 ROM happens to not install google voice search, I can just install batman_112's apk after flashing?
Thanks a lot for any help!

I use the 2.1 world generic. I have an AT&T X10a.
Navigation is there, yes.
You can install voice search, yes.
Issues, no.
Bloatware from AT&T, no.
You can root from here and remove whatever apps you do not like using root explorer or titanium backup.
Good luck.
Thanks man! That's awesome. Will do it once I charge up my phone (and of course after I do all the set up things). As an official ROM, we'll get the future updates (if SE releases anymore) as they come directly from SE right? Would we need to reroot every time there is an update?
Sorry, I'm still learning... Thanks.

Yes, you can get future updates directly from SEUS. You will not be tied to AT&T anymore. And yes, you will need to re-root every time you update but, that should not be a problem. Just pop in here whenever you need something and I am sure you will find what you are looking for.
Also, before you start, watch this tutorial regarding the flash tool.
Yes the answer to your question. If you use SEUS to update your phone you will need to re- root your devices after the update. I would look into checking out one of the custom roms that are out. i have tried each one and have it narrowed down to 2 to be my daily. either the EminenceBuild or J's 2.2CustomDarkStyle.
Thanks guys. The info and help is much appreciated.
Sorry, forgot to ask- the flash tool would be from jerlepea's massive ROM thread correct? Then I would root using batman_112's/your superoneclick's root program. Thanks.

Will do it later on in the week as I don't want to accidentally brick it during the week when I need to use the phone and have an all-nighter (however remote it appears to be); anyway, after flashing and rooting, I may not sleep anyway b/c I would want to play around with it! It's a pretty sweet device that's mainly marred by the official "support." But the support here more than makes up for that. Thanks again!
Ok, I tried flashing for...well much longer than it should have taken. I tried both PC Companion and SEUS. When I first got my x10a, I was able to update with PC Companion no problem. Now, when I'm trying to enter flash mode, my computer hangs. The phone enters flash mode (green light turns on) but my computer than hangs - it detects the SEMC device but then it hangs and the phone eventually just boots up normally then. I read somewhere that it might be the usb drivers? But I can't find the thread now or the files. Does anyone have them? I'm using Win XP SP3, antivirus and firewall off during flash attempts. Any advice? Thanks!
Hey, ok, I've been trying to flash my x10a for...well let's just say much longer than it should have been. Things seem fine in that I was able to use PC Companion to update when I got my x10a out of the box. But now, when I'm using either SEUS or PC Companion, my computer hangs once it detects the SEMC Device...after several seconds, the x10a just loads up normally and my computer hangs. I remember reading somewhere that it might be the usb drivers? I've been looking through the forums but can't seem to find it now - does anyone have it?
I'm running Win XP SP3, antivirus and firewall off when doing the flashing. Please help. Thanks!

I've tried it on another computer to no avail - it's the same thing, it sees the SEMC Mass Storage but it does not register as SEMC Flash Device (i.e. it sees it as a SEMC Flash Device but then it stops). I've uninstalled and reinstalled PC Companion and Update Service which should have given clean install of the drivers. I don't know what to do. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.
Ok, I finally got the firmware to flash but I can't seem to root now. Am reading through the threads but it seems like I am doing everything right, just not getting the results. Which sucks.
Btw, why does the haptic feedback not turn off properly? I turn it off but whenever I press a key, it still vibrates?
What do I have to do, install, change or what ever so my PC Companion recognizes new update. I'm always last one to get it . New update (2.1.1.A.0.6 build) is available for a few days now but PC Companion still showing that my phone is up to date. I don't care losing languages and settings etc. for my country, I just need english ...
Find it here on xda and install it
You are not the last one. I have German generic firmware, and it takes me long time to receive the update. And unfortunately, although I also use English, I HAVE TO wait for German version because of the keyboard layout.
Hi all,
just to add my experience on this. I was like, I couldn't receive any update on time.
But if you try to run PC Companion with Administrative rights (in Vista and Windows 7), it'll pick the update.
Or try using SEUS (and run it with Administrative rights).
I got the latest update the next day when it was launched (it was a week ago or so).
Also, if your phone is locked by a network, you have to wait for the network to approve the update. My phone is Factory unlocked (unrooted!).
Cheers
I have an unlocked (no provider) phone in Germany and it isn't out here yet.. so your not allways the last person.. and to think.. some people still havn't got 2.1 update yet!! so you shouldn't complain.
And I was really excited about getting ANT support
not in too much of a hurry for this update.... doesn't offer me anything new (and all my Xrecovery install Themes won't work) I'm happy to stick with .24 for a while longer.

Not very helpfull answers ...but I found a solution for rooted phones:
With Root explorer copy attached build.prop to /system folder also recommended to backup "keyprint.xml" in system/usr/keyboard-config for keyboard layout. then restart phone start PC Commpanion -> Update - > Repair and you'll have 2.1.1.A.0.6 build.

they're releasing it by region i guess. give it a few more days or a week.
you can try SEUS since that's the one that i've used and it detected the new update.

That is a helpful answer.. and its what a lot of us did to get original Nordic 2.1 last year.. but I just don't think this update is worth screwing with my build.prop, it would just mean installing JIT again.. and then trying to get it back to my Region once its released here.. I Agree.. if you really really want 2.1.1.A.0.6 then go for it.. (and enjoy your ANT features ) I think I can wait.
Thanks for mentioning this method anyway, good to teach the noobs
