Hi all,
I just got my X10i and its factory unlocked, I have one question. My firmware is still 1.0.14 and SEUS and PC Companion tells me its the most recent firmware. I'm wondering are there anyone else who have a factory unlocked X10i that are still stuck at the 1.0.14 firmware? Also, is it normal for the phone to not have the firmware upgrade despite it being out for around a month ago? Thanks!
I'm in the same boat as you. I'm in the US.
There is another thread that discusses ways to get the newer firmware. Please go search and read up in that thread.

I have a unlocked 10i and I live in the usa and I was able tp get the update. I'm starting to think that getting a update comes down to random luck
Hey Guys,
You may want to verify that the hardware and the firmware match.
When the X10i/a first came out, a solution for debranding became available which entailed using a generic firmware. Unfortunately what ended up happening was that X10a that were flashed to X10i (and vice versa) were said to be no longer supported by SEUS.
Remove your battery and verify that it's an X10i, then go to your service menu and verify that the firmware is also for an X10i.
If the two do not match, don't worry...there is a way to fix it;

Thanks for the responses! I'm pretty sure mines is an X10i running on generic firmware as its factory unlocked to begin with. On a side note I checked the service menu and under Model Info and it says, "Brand: Customized", what does this mean? I'm starting to think the updates depend on version of the phone. I have a Singapore version so that's probably why I can't update yet.
very nice sir
i want to update.my phone is only vibrate, sometime power on butwithy sim
restart ? Any idea?

I debranded, then rooted my X10a (Rogers), installing X10i firmware R24. When I checked for software update from the phone, not through SEUS, I was able to update to R26.
Why was I able to do this? I was under the impression that rooted phones running a different firmware from the model (X10i on X10a phone) could not receive updates at all.
Rooting doesn't prevent you from getting updates.

You are able to upgrade because the phone is recognized as a X10i and it gets X10i firmware through update servers. It's all in .prop files in /system/ directory on phone.
If you change your firmware values you will receive other updates. But take care when editing, because if you edit the wrong line your phone needs a full reflash

I am looking to change my x10 rogers to x10i, let me know the procedure. Thanks.
Thanks for the replies! Does this mean that when Spain/Japan/etc. get their 2.1 updates that I will be able to get it OTA?
CMXD, I used this simple method for rooting: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=740240
For debranding and X10i conversion, I went with this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717949
Note that I debranded and converted to X10i before rooting.
Hi everyone, i need some advise.
I had the global 2.1 rom on my rogers phone and it was beautiful, fast and flawless.
It did bother me i had an x10i rom on my phone, so i decided to change the codes to brazil and do the reinstall from seus to get 2.1 from brazil on my rogers phone.
This is where it went all bad, the update failed 3 times and on the forth it went through.
1. My x10 now has a few issue's, terrible signal strength, no bars in my basement. with the global rom i was getting 2 to 3 bars.
2. My wifi connects once and after the phone sleeps i need to restart the phone to get it to connect.
3. The app men u is slow, it opens fast but it takes about 7 to 8 swipes before it moves, then it sticks to where it scrolls to and again 7 to 8 swipes to get it to scroll. with the global rom the app menu was super fats no hesitation. i could go from the first app to the last very fast.
4. generally seems slower.
Here is the advice i would like to get.
1.should i reinstall the brazil rom?
2. should i go to rogers rom?
3. should i go to the global rom again?
One last thing, has anyone else had an issue with the brazilian rom?
Thanks for any tips/ advise.
i did the same with mine did not like having the 10i im not having any of your problems but I would also like to get rogers 2.1 on my phone also. but no issues with the brazil one so far.
Brazil Rom works like a charm on my x10a, I tried the nordic and the global roms but the Brazil Rom is the smoothest. Plus the app launcher doesn't lag.
I would suggest to flash the phone again through SEUS then do a factory reset for the phone and ur SD card

thanks guy's.
I'm glad to here it is not the brazil rom. i will reset and do the reinstall using seus and post back if i have any issue's.
Gota love the xda forums, everyone is so good at sharing experinces. makes it one of my favorite places to hang out and read.
im about to do this to my x10a as well, is this the correct code?
X10a CUST-BR NAM1 1234-4836 1232-4526 Customized BR/Sensuous black
Yes, that code is the right one for brazilian 2.1 generic fw.
Ok all is good now, seems that when the seus update failed it caused some issue's.
or doing the reset of the phone and sd card might have saved me.
Anyways all is good again.
Thanks

According to Sony Ericsson Product Blog page LAM firmware has been released isnt the one with code 1232-4388?
Not sure if this is a good thread for this but I couldn't really find a response. I got a White X10 from Rogers a while back. I already debranded it using Generic Latin America (I think Argentina?? it was something like xploid, I can't remember exactly). Now I want to change the region so I can update to 2.1 but I'm not exactly sure how. Someone told me to I should change it to Brazil but I didnt know how to do that using the SEUS? I have an X10a with R2BA026. When I do the lock screen code (menu, back back etc...) under Country it says Generic LAM (b) - Brand is Customized. Under software info it has Phone Software Version: 1227 - 4612_R2BA026 Generic. Not sure if all of this was helpful but I hope someone can help me I really dont know when or how I'll be able to update to 2.1 without changing the region
Not able to bring phone back to original using SEUS
I tried upgrading to 2.3 but had no SD, so tried bringing it back to 2.1 Brazil 1232-4526 edited the custom files and what not but SEUS downloads the something than says my phone is already up to date. I'm using US X10a generic 2.1 right now. any ideas? also tried using recovery image I made with xrecovery but phone boots to SE colored logo than restarts.
I recently bought a used x10 from some guy on craigslist. factory reset it got it all working and what not and figured i would try and update it to 2.1. the phone says its updated even though when i go to phone info in the settings it says firmware 1.6. i tried the pc companion but it also says that it is up to date. any ideas with out rooting and running mods?
You've probably got a branded firmware that hasn't been updated yet...
Do a search for debranding and updating to the global generic firmware...
thanks i will try that out and see if it works.

Hi guys.
Sorry if I'm opening to many threads here, but Im still on firmware .67.
I just connected to Update Service and it said that there was no new updates but I was able to go throu a update, dunno what it was, but it deleted everything on my phone.
So I checked now, and still on .67. PC companion also says I have newest software.
But I'm still on .67 and a bootloader that can't be unlocked! WTF do I do now? I want the latest firmware!

maybe you should start reading the dialogs that appear on your computer screen instead?
you just reflashed your phone to last available software that did a factory reset. If you dont know what you are doing then DONT pursue this further - start reading on the forums how things work step by step otherwise you will end up with expensive paperclip.
.73 is only available in some random regions with some of the main ones left out.
If you go over to the dev section you can find .73 Singapore generic which you can up date to without unlocking bootloaders or rooting.
Without a changelog we dont know what sony fixed in .73 to me doesnt seem like a lot other than wifi on draws a little less power
Oh damn it.
Many other people in my country have received the update, so it's strange that I have not.
EDIT: So I can update to .73 Singapore generic? Is that safe, singapore? Will my menus still be in Norwegian? And don't it need to be a norwegian generic version?
No offical .73 in finland either

I am on the Singapore .73 generic, and you can choose to change the phone Language to Norwegian via Settings (so that your menus are in Norwegian).
Just received a new Xperia Ray locked to Orange. I have tried both the software update service and PC companion but both say my phone is up to date on 2.3.4.
The sony site says an upgrade is available for the phone (I even followed the link and upgraded my wife's Arc-S last night) but directs to install PC companion.
Orange suggest using the update function on the phone but none of these are updating; they all say I have latest firmware.
I checked the SI list and my code isnt there (well, not entirely) its SI 1254-3795.5
That last bit after the hypen doesn't relate to anything in that list.
Any idea how I can get it updated without rooting? Although there is a bit of Orange shovelware on there I would like to lose.
Phone was bought on 10th May from Orange online.
ICS 4.0.3 has been distributed to all ray a month ago. A new ICS 4.0.4 is rolling out but there are numerous people claiming their SI number are in the list but update service says they have the latest firmware. I for myself has that problem. This must be a problem from sony server.

Is there any way of getting the firmware and flashing it legally?
I presume from the Orange shovelware I mentioned that I am going to have to wait for Orange to release an update (complete with more of their stuff I dont want)?
Just found this on the Sony support forum:
Even if SI numbers are added for the cell phones, updating the phones will not be possble, as Sony Xperia Support team Member Johan, said that there's some problem with the server, and so people runining GB currently will not be able to update using PCC or SUS. We need to wait, for the update to resume again, and all the problems with the servers removed.
Looks like patience is needed or I flash manually...
Or if your phone is branded, the operator might have blocked the updates for your phone. Then you have to contact Orange.
Can I flash it manually with the Nordic firmware without unlocking anything or rooting?

Yes.
Brilliant...all done and running 4.0.4. Dont remember it being that easy when i used to flash my HD2.
Best of all...no Orange bloatware.
Still need to get it unlocked though...
Hi can you comfirm if your text and gmail app is working on your nordic firmware
As my
Gmail wont send photo attchments it says sent but never shows up on other end
Also text say sending but never send
Thank you
I've got the same problem with my Orange UK Ray, my issue is that's it's on a contract through work so I'm not sure I'm allowed to update the software unless I use the Sony website.
I contacted Orange to find out if they have a date for ICS on the Ray, they quoted "end of the year - more likely December rather than November"! I'm desperate for ICS, does anyone know if I void the contract if I upgrade to ICS by flashing the Nordic software?

I have an Orange UK Xperia Ray and got bored of waiting for ICS so I flashed mine to a stock 4.03 Central European firmware, which then updated to official 4.0.4 through PC Companion. This was a couple of months ago but Maps / Navigation is not as stable as GB, having frozen a couple of times so have mixed feelings. Flashing different firmware to the one it shipped with invalidates your warranty AFAIK...
If anyone has a copy of the UK Orange FW for SI 1254-3795 in .ftf format I would appreciate it for the stability and warranty, seeing as an official update is on the horizon.
