Backing up and updating...

I`m happy about that, long waiting for.

Says I can update too. Thanks for the tip!
Just a quick backup and I'll know for sure.
I'm in Norway btw.
Edit: Updated fine. Got eclair, need root

Successfully updated in Estonia

Someone who updated successfully please share your customization code. Here are instructions how to do it:
1. Lock the screen of your phone. Press the menu button (left button) so that the screen is lit but still locked.
2. Press the home (central button) and back (right button) in following sequence:
home-back-back-home-back-home-home-back
Try several times if you can not do it the first time. when successful secret menu will appear. Go to Service info->Software info and find "customization version"
It should be something like 1241-3708_R3A (this is my code, your will be different but the same format).
Give us this code so we can update also.

To all who have updated succesfull,
Could you please post your "default.prop" which is located in the root?
More specific the "ro.semc.version.sw=1236-9291" (called kit by SE).
So others can modify and update too.
ThanX in advance
Dink69

My customization code: 1242-7327_R3B
Edit: added default.prop

thanks dude.

O2 UK not yet

Thanx Jens,
Updating right now Yeaaah
GreetZ Dink

No Update for me in Germany. Maybe I will edit the build.prop to get it sooner...

can we please close this thread . there is another thread for 2.1 discussion

Confirmed!! Update released in Sweden Too!!

Could I get your build.prop file so I could update X8 to 2.1?

Has anyone managed to root theyre device yet? If not im going to see if any one has managed it on another device. maybe we can do it in a similar way

my code
1236-9291_2.0.1.a.0.47

You can flash using Bin4Ry's flash tool.
I used non-gui one, works to flash 1.6->2.1->1.6
These are the files you need to flash the 2.1 :
Loader
Firmware X8 2.1-rus
Instructions :
Get Bin4ry's flasher here :
Flasher for SE
Unpack it somewhere lets say C:\x8-flash
Replace the bat script.
unpack firmware .sin files into folder firmware inside the x8-flash
Put the loader.sin in the same place.
Start the bat script.

I knew this earlier as I just post on this forum 2 days ago:-/,but except ,how???????
Hi,
Ya i also use the same way with flash KRsH kernel,
but for root i'm using flash tool 0.5.3 coz with that i can remove some application's
that i do want.
Before that i already test other method but all UN successful.
What changes makes this soft?
Hy!
Can you send me a fresh full Nandroid backup from this software?
Thanks a lot!
Dear Download The Whole Link Extract Then Go To Data Folder And Then Flashes Folder Where You Will Find All Flash File.
Yeah, I tried, but the Wotan use a strange encrypting method, and I can't decrypt it. I tried everything (Decrypt with Flashtool, rename to System.sin / system.img and extract with aIUPd, but they can't do anything).
I want to port it to Mini Pro, and I need they extracted things.
Thanks for your help!
Dude I also Tried All methods to extract and flash the the files by flasher but not successed......
Flash it to your phone, and change the kernel to KrsH Mini Kernel. Enter to CWM and make a backup.
Hope You Will Root Your Phone With This Method.

[Q] [HELP] TO Experts and Egyptians W/ Live With Walkman Original ROM [HELP]

Please i need the ORIGINAL stock ROM that compatible with that Phone SI Number ( 1253-5373 )
Recently I have flashed another ROMs [ The famous 2 ROMs around all the threads .58 and 4.0.4 ]
in order to get the untouched official ICS ROM Updated + Rooted
My Original ROM was a little bit different from the famous one.
for example: The Sony Unlimited Entertainment app doesn't exist in the original FW.
BUT absolutely this ain't the problem.. My important problem is all about my Carrier (Service Provider)
Since updating manually those ROMs, Google doesn't recognizing my carrier! Unlike my old original stock ROM.
Also some of apps like Go SMS Pro, Whatsapp. Both are saying: This item cannot be installed on your device's country. !!
In the past with my original stock ROM.. i was able to see those apps and also was updating them.
But Unfortunately, from the first step i didn't know that getting back to the original stock ROM is that hard task,
Even didn't imagine that doing the manual update could lead to those annoying problems !!
Another thing to add, while i was flashing the ICS ROM the flashtool ignored that file ' Simlock.ta ' !
I tried again flashing with the option ' Exclude TA '. Anyways, both results are the same at the end.
Also i got an old screenshots to my Original stock Rom Software Info, Here:
oi46.tinypic.com/6thd0k.jpg
oi47.tinypic.com/vcb6a.jpg
Please, Copy the links of the pics to your address bar, so that you could see them.
*As a new user XDA prevented me from posting links becuase i didn't reach 10 posts yet !
I searched alot around the internet for the same original stock rom.. but got nothing ! :\
It's very important to me to get my region ORIGINAL ROM to get everything back to it's right way!
I don't know if here in XDA are enough Egyptian members with Sony Ericcson Xperia Live With Walkman WT19I Or Not !
If you are Egyptian with original stock ROM Or know someone who could help with it, Please contact me.
If you could help me, you gonna save a deadly phone's life. DON'T HESITATE : )
Based on your software info:

Your CDA number is 1254-1848
This corresponds to CUSTOMIZED MEA WORLD I 1254-1848 based on this WT19i CDA list.
You can try this yourself:
Change your current CDA number to 1254-1848 by editing your build.prop located in /system/build.prop. Open it with Text Editor.
Replace the highlighted lines with 1254-1848.
Reboot your phone and use PC Companion to repair it.
First - There are no differences in the LWW firmwares.
Second - We do not have firmwares for every SI number.
Third - Why do you need that specific firmware?

Thanks dude for caring And also for your great topics : )

Many thanks for your post.. i'll try it. = )
i believe that simlock.ta is for the sim lock, so i don't think you want that
It's not hard at all to flash stock roms
Just download Flashtool and search development section for something like "[stock rom] 'some numbers' 1234-1234"
Open flashtool and click on the lightning icon and choose the firmware you want first boot is long.
After that do what boyq said.

It's work in locked/unlocked bootloader too!​
ES Vodafone source - thanks for the idea to sur1k
Vodafone's apps and customization removed, but any other apps and bloatware not - stock ROM, not cooked.
Rooted, SuperSU app installed
Install instructions:
0.) Copy the downloaded update_XMP587-ExPeacer.zip to your SD card
1.) Install CWM to your ROM
2.) Restart, and enter CWM
3.) If your bootloader LOCKED: mount&storage -> format /system.
4.) Back -> advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache.
5.) Back -> install zip from sdcard. Choose the update zip, then follow the instructions.
6.) When it finished, turn off the device.
7.) Copy the downloaded SK17i_4.1.B.0.587_Kernel-Baseband.zip to the Flashtool/firmwares folder.

Need help with editing a kdz file for LGUP

I have posted about my problem in several threads now, but I didn't get an answer yet, so I hope I can finally save my phone with your help here... It's been a major pain the cojones for two weeks already.
In short, here is what happened:
I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and after flashing superSU (once I found out how to get into TWRP), I got a bootloop.
So I wanted to do a full wipe. But I messed up and wiped literally everything, even the OS
Then I went on to look for a stock ROM zip file. I found one, but I didn't read the whole article which said it was for H901. I installed it and found out it's branded T-mobile version on top of all.
Now I'm trying to get back to a H960A stock ROM, but no luck so far.
I have tried both methods from the LG V10 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) KDZ & TOT Method thread
Then there was a shed of hope when I stumbled upon this thread, where the OP managed to do the same
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/help/flashed-h901-h960-comrade-to-help-t3429025
I downloaded the modified Switzerland file mentioned in one of the comments, but it didn't do through for me.
I also tried to run the chkdzdev tool to change my EU version KDZ file, but agian, I got the same error (possibly I didn't do it right, since there is no manual whatsoever and the author doesn't reply)
Here is a screenshot of how it went:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So now, my only hope is to:
a) find a zip with H960A stock ROM (probably none exists on the interwebz)
b) find a TWRP backup that I can "revert" to (not sure if this would work, but if anyone would be so kind, I could find out...)
c) find someone who can modify the KDZ file and tell me how to do it
Anyone?

Anyone has any idea where to turn for help with this issue? If not on xda, where can I look for a solution?
Try this. There is some instructions here that might be different from what you've been trying.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/general/guide-lg-v10-stock-firmware-to-stock-t3224170
It's saying after you load the firmware into LGUp, you have to close it and then open it again, select refurbish, and then make sure bin file is checked. Hopefully this can get you going. Good luck.

I've tried this one... it wouldn't even let me load the kdz file without doing this...
Problem is, the firmware version is coded somewhere deep in the file and it won't let me install it on a device that has a different version (unfortunately mine was overwritten by the stupid stock ROM i've managed to install)
