Rooted the x10 mini pro with the exploid guide.
Do the phone have to be unrooted\repaired to get firmware update?
No should work fine without unrooting.
ok, maybe different firmware between pro and mini.
An unrooted mini was notified of an update that had to be done with pc companion, but the rooted pro is still on 1.1.A.0.8.
Maybe wait for 2.1 instead.
Try with SEUS, PC Companion is unreliable.

You will have to wait until your provider releases the new update for you. Or try to flash the generic build in the forums.

i have a unbranded phone from se. will try a generic rom. thx
On the forum they are all pre-rooted, I want only 2.02.A.24 without xrecovery.
Where can I find it?
Did you try the seus update tool or pc companion? Otherwise you can ask for clean rom and use binarys flasher to do so!

Looking for the same. Hope someone can help out, especially now that we can root it.
does anyone know where to find SE x10 stock rom my friend intalled a unstable rom and forgot to back up his original one any help?
Do you want 2.1 or 1.6? I can help you with 2.1 only. And these are SE firmwares.

Use SEUS Sony Ericsson Update Service), this install stock rom.
I have the same problem. I need to restore the stock rom but when I try to use SEUS or PC Companion I receive a message saying that my phone already have the latest software.
Any idea?
Tell It you want to repair.

I did it, but didn´t work. It says I have the lastest software.
But I installed the last X10a Generic firmware from here and now at least SEUS and PC Companion works, including the repair.
Is not the same ROM I had on my phone, but I think I´m able to get the officials updates now.
Im in the same situitation, I found this convuluted way to go back to the 1.6 that involves command lines and command prompts Im a little scared to try it
Hi, I recently heard that the new update coming for the xperia x10 is only going to work for generic firmwares. Is this correct? If so, how do I install a generic firmware on my phone that would allow me to update it, and which firmware do I use? Thanks!

Okay, will this allow me to update to the official gingerbread through pc companion, or does the update come from seus too?
And would lose all my files, or would I still be able to restore with titanium backup? Thanks!

Updated right now with SEUS to 2.3.3 (had the X10i_2.1.B.0.1_CUST-DE GENERIC 1235-7836.zip)
Everything except sd card gets erased. Maybe try SE backup tools of PCC
So do i update my x10a to the same x10i generic you had? do i need to do this through seus? as long as i can get my phone updated to 2.3.3, i don't really mind losing all my apps! so after putting your generic version on my phone, i will update through pc companion, correct? is this how you updated your phone to 2.3.3???
SEUS Repair function Q
Hello!
I am new to both the XDA forums and to the Android modding in general.
A while back I did root my Generic X10i and install Xrecovery on it but now I have heard from several sources stating that I need a "clean" phone to get the 2.3.3 update from SE.
My question is: Does SEUS repair reflash the entire phone and remove all traces of modding so I can update to 2.3.3 w/o any problems?
(I have backed up my contacts and dont mind losing apps, as long as I have the 2.3.3 update)
Good question, I also don't mind losing my apps as long as I get the update!
Does anyone know if repairing you're handset removes traces of rooting?

Repairing wipes your phone and installs an official firmware, so yes. It removes all traces since it's a fresh install.
Any install using the Flash Tool (with wipe userdata checked) will install a fresh firmware.

but Repair will install based on what? the original firmware from that region or the original where the previously installed custom firmware was based on?
Thanks all. Was thinking about a repair based on the original update firmware from pc companion, do I can update once 2.3.3 hits my brand of phone
Sent from my X10a using XDA Premium App
how do i do it?
lol
use the Sony PC companion 2.1
No 2.3 is not possible over the phone. Use pc companion or flashtool or seus

sorry. i do not own a x10
Only use SE update service or I suggest you to use custom Roms.

SEUS is a way better than PCC.
Download from here http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/update-service/ and update easily the phone.
The Companion app dosent list the X10 under US, but UK, and it shows two versions of it. When i try to repair my phone this way, it says there is no software avalaible for it.
I just want to return to stock 2.3.3 so i can unlock bootloader. another question would be if that the 2.3.3 Aro file would suffice for this.

Hello,
Downgrade Your baseband version in order to enable the "upgrade" option in PC companion or SEUS

You can do it with SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service). You don't need to downgrade nothing. When ever I wanted to go back to stock from custom roms, I did it with SEUS, without single problem. Just download Update Service from Sony official site, run it and follow instructions.

Repair option doesn´t exist. But do not repair, just flash stock rom ( fresh install).

So flashing the 2.3.3 offical Rom that started circulating when Gingerbread came out would be considered stock?

I always used SUES but it only said that the newest software is already installed and there was nothing I could do. Maybe they've changed it already, last time I used SUES was more than half year ago.
PS. And You're right. If I downgraded my baseband I didn't select repair but flash new firmware.
