I also have a Singapore version and changed the number using rootexplore to Nordic version. I'm downloading the firmware now, will see if it installs without any problems. I will let you know soon...beginning to get little worry
OK,please inform me immerdiately...i need the way to save my X10...
Remove your battery and wait 30 seconds, than put the battery back in the phone and connect it in to your pc while you're holding the back key (before you connect the phone to your pc, run the SEUS)
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Ok, I was able to install without any issues. I'm running 2.1.
I think I saw a way to unbrick the phone using a debranding method. You might try searching. Good luck.
2.1 update No mobile Network
Can anyone help me out here everything else works great except i have no 3g. Im on rogers in Canada. did i miss a step?
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
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 ?
(RESOLVED)hey guys, i've been looking everywhere for about 3 days now and really don't know how to resolve my phone's problem. I bought the rogers e10a version of the x10 mini and really wanted to update my phone to the latest 2.1 version. As most of us know, you have to debrand your phone first as SEUS as well as sony companion will tell you that 1.6 is the lastest version. Anyways i ended up using the "build.prop.claro" file from skzBR from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=820009&page=4) while debranding and re-used SEUS to upgrade the phone to 2.1. Now when i used this build, i got the a claro logo when i booted up the phone and i didn't ike that, so i though i could just change the the build.prop in 2.1 to the other "build.prop.vivo"... well when i did that i felt really stupid after since i then remembered it was made for the 1.6 os. So now my phone is messed up! all i get is the Sony Ericsson start screen looping over and over again.
The phone does go into recovery mode, but does not have root permission through ADB so i can't push the old build.prop.claro file back into the phones system folder.. The SEUS and pc companion programs do not work to restore the phone and give me tell me my phone has no new software to update with. Even when i try pressing the repair option through pc companion get that same message. I've tried numerous flashtools with different rom with .sin files and have has zero success. So i'm wondering if i do have a chance at this if someone has the .sin files from both rom descirbe in the link and i try reflashnig it with the latest flashtool or if omnius is my only choice here.. any help really appreciated guys.
Thanks.

re:evo
not helpful, but thx.
Have u tried this:
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=844219
RE: have you tried this
yes i have, the flashtool establishes a connection with the phone when i put it in recovery mode. When it says its flashing my phone, all ,sin files or a 2.1 generic rom seam to flash fine and whn done, it tells me " finished, now reboot phone", the phone is still stuck and looping. So i don't know if its because i'm not flashing the .sin files of the build.prop.vivo rom which i can't seam to find anywhere or what....
Hi, im a bit busy today. So just give you a link that you can try http://www.xperiax10.net/2010/04/14/debrand-your-xperia-x10-tutorial/
Hope it will help you.
i fixed it
I flashed the phone with 1.6 e10i firmware and the java flashtool and it worked. I then changed the build.prop file to a e10a file and reflashed. SEUS was able to reflasht the phone's firmware to 1.6 e10a and all is good now... thanks guys!
Hello everyone.
I have just got this phone brought to me by my little brother. It seems that phone is made for Japanese network (Softbank)
according to him, he downloaded few apps and was using it for few week until recently there was a problem and the phone had some issues. So he took it to repairer and the phone was flashed back to the company default
But now the issue is that the phone doesn't recognize any SIM and also WIFI searching forever without finding any network. I am not able to pass through this initial phone setup configuration to find out what exactly is wrong with the phone
Although phone restart with inserting SIM but soon as it boots to setup it acts like no SIM is inserted and prompt to connect to either network.
I have used Xperia companion with no luck cause the file size taking very long and my internet connection is not stable and failed on many attempts
Downloaded the exact Japanese firmware from Xperifirm and flashed using newflasher but still could not pass the setup due to no connection
I am not able to even skip that network and initial setup like all other android phone because the phone has to be connected to network and there is not step to skip
What could have gone wrong with the phone. Is this a software issue because the phone bricked by that guy accidently did something to software stuff or is it hardware issue? any urgent assistance would be highly appreciated.
I haven't touched the bootloader yet and as far I know it cant be unlocked?
Please help me resolving this issue
usually it happens when flashing the wrong baseband or modem firmware from another japanese firmware e.g. au kddi/docomo firmware,clean flash via newflasher should fix the problem,make sure to download the right firmware for your model (701SO),not au kddi or docomo...
if problem still exist after flash it,try to flash the global firmware (try CE1 firmware),it will convert your device to global variant(but nfc will not work and deep sleep not working)
good luck :good:

Hi and thanks @filandry
I have downloaded the exact copy of firmware as per my model (701so) and I even downloaded the UK customised version today and flashed it. The phone boots to setup but same issue no SIM detection and no wifi activity. I can't even see SIM or WIFI icons on the status bar
I am now thinking of whether if it's possible to somehow find this setup file and delete it in the firmware folder and then flash the firmware to see if it works when it gets to phone.
It will also help me checking the IMEI and other stuff but just wondering if its possible?
I know there maybe still few options to get the phone somehow into desktop but I am kinda newbie into sony phones and i wouldn't mind doing it
Edit; Just forgot the CE1 firmware part. How different is it from UK customised version? You really sure this will make a difference? Cause downloading a big file is a very daunting task for me as I am living in a place where we barely get 512 KB (shared 1:3) download time take a whole day for me.

you can try this via adb (i'm not sure if you can connect via adb since usb debugging not turning on)

or...try to boot up in safe mode
you can google it how to enter safe mode

Thanks for replying.
Adb can't be done since it needs usb debugging turned on and for that I need to get to the phone settings.
Safe mode already tried in the past and done it again for this new firmware but same issue
I wish i could flash custom rom so that its start-up settings might be different and no need to be connected
I really need help here if I still have an option
