[Q] Does flashing NORDIC firmware needs rooting?? - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys,
just updated my x10 to 2.1 n I am surprised to say that I actually am surprised to say that I am liking it more than before.
I have to say android guys are doing great and hope their good work continues.
I am staying in Dubai and have been considering to flash my x10 to Nordic firmware since I bought it.
I would like to know if we can flash x10 to Nordic firmware without rooting it? Or is rooting compulsory? n I hope that would get me the market application
Thanks

No it doesn't need rooting it just need seus installed before starting

great.... so does flashing bring me the market application here in UAE (dubai)??
Moreover another question is I have already updated to 2.1
So can I still follow the general flashing rules with the available Nordic Rom or is there something different with a 2.1 updated version.

Thx

Unless you're with ATT
I have a x10a w att and i had to use the flash tool to get 2.1. I used the x10a firmware instead of the global because i had better results with the x10a firmware. Then u can root and install xrecovery and get 2.2. I had absoutely no problems on 2.2. I had better results and less bugs on 2.2 rather than 2.1

Rogers here with 1.6. Can you describe your procedure in more detail please? Like:
- How did you get 2.1? Did you use the official AT&T ROM?
- Which 2.2 ROM did you use?
Thanks
Ive tried getting to 2.1 with x10 Flasher but it never detects the firmware .

Search threads for x10a global generic firmware 2.0.2.A.0.24 and flash tool. There is Rogers 2.1 as well, but there is no ATT 2.1 firmware, because they never updated. Global Generic x10a works great. I used to swear that regional Brazil was better than global generic for ATT, but after using x10a global generic 2.0.2.A.0.24 firmware I have to say they work the same. Global Generic is only missing google Voice Search app, but you can download it yourself.

You have to "extract" the 10 "file sin" files out of the firmware download to get them into the right format, "SIN files". Then create a "firmware" folder inside flasher folder, if one does not exist, and put the "SIN file"s in the firmware folder.

Did you ever think that maybe he is not on stock anymore.
@ OP
We don't know yet.
Hopefully soon we will.
Thhanks guys, im on rogers stock 2.1 I was thinkin to root after flashing it might be pointless if im going 2.3. Better keep it stock while I wait.
What did you mean by *unmodified*? Rooting? Or something else?
Sorry for double post, I just downloaded the x10a .435 generic from the flashtool thread, is that the stock unmodified one?
Sorry first android phone lol :$

No, dont use FlashTool. Yous current firmware is just fine. And yes, unmodified=no root, custom rom, etc.

Wow, you want to debate just about that? And DID I say I KNOW he is using an unmodified stock fw?
Btw OP, if you still want to modify your phone, go ahead. But make sure you flash your phone with ROGERS stock fw using FlashTool when the upgrade is rolled out. Still, I am not sure if they block modified X10, but an insider said so and I trust him.

Wait:-o. I can get the update with a rogers branded phone?, I though it was only generic ones
We are still not sure about that. It depends on rogers if they want.

So if I flash the generic one ill be able to upgrade

[Q] About rooting Stock GB 2.3.3 and Custom ROMS

Hello!
I wonder if there will be a way to root the stock SE 2.3.3 fw withtout flashing the pre-rooted version in the next days or if its something hard to do.
Also, does the update of baseband, fw, kernel, etc... means something to the devs of custom ROMs like fixing camera bugs
Thx
A root method will come with some time.

(Q) how to id what region of 2.3.3 i am running

Hi,
Many moons ago i updated to 2.1 via xda and a flashtool.
Then upgraded to 2.3.3 via seus.
I am almost 100% that it was world generic.
How can i check ?
As my phone is much better functioning than the wifes phone that is on 3-uk 2.3.3.
Also what lines would i need to edit for pc seus to repair to the same version i am running.
Thanks

If you want to put your firmware on your wife's phone then make a backup of your phone and restore it on hers...I think that should do it...

good idea . Would probablly be easiest way.

Help finding 2.0 - 2.2.* firmware version.

Hi!
I'm looking for a firmware for my X10 between version 2.0 - 2.2 which I can flash in CWM or with flashtool and I have searched and searched but have only gotten dead links etc.
I would be really grateful if someone could send me a link to a working firmware, it doesn't have to be that stable because I'm only going to flash it to be able to unlock the network lock. After that I will flash a newer one.
Not sure why u want to drop back pal what u trying to do?

In flashtool sticky in the general forum there are links for 2.1
