[Q]General to "debranding" - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
i have the X10i and my Provider is e-Plus. My current firmware version is some thing with XXX20 at the end and XXX26 is the latest as far as i know!
How do i get to know if my phone is branded or not?
If it's branded i want to debrand it with this tutorial:
esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=195467
But i need a german generic firmware and i can't find any in the web!
Can you help me?
Regards
Poly

This trick is no longer work

The switching method doesnt work, however, on the android development part of the forum for x10 theres a few download links that will install a generic 026, simply find the one you want download and follow instructions
Vengeance
Sent my rooted X10i using XDA app

but i need a generic german firmware...

The fun part is, I debranded my X10 with the switching method about a week ago. How is this possible then?

SO-01B. upgrade to android 2.1 possible?

hey guys, i've been going about the forums and trying out various stuff. i really want android 2.1 on my phone, but i've had no success. and i only just found out that the SO-01B runs on x10a configurations and according to wikipedia, it has lack of support for android 2.1.
is this true? if not, can someone please link me to a guide that will work for me? i've seen alot around but im not sure which one would work and i really don't want to mess up the phone.
Im running on android 1.6 with RABA026 FW
Thank you!
no probs
hi there,
I'm in Japan with the So-01B and I have updated succesfully to 2.1
Same as you I flashed mine to an x10i and latest firmware (before 2.1).
Just donwload the decryted 2.1 ROM with flashtool from the main board and flash it. You'll be fine
Yes. I also updated my SO-01B to 2.1. No problems so far Everything works great.
Just use the version that provided @Bin4ry (hail to the genius) and you're set.
and don't forget to back up everything if things go sour (you never know).
i also have the same model as yours, and updated successfully.. i tried both the nordic and global firmware and both worked well..
can you please link me to thread that has the instructions?
DONE!
thanks =D

[Q] Can I switch from Nordic 2.1 to UK Generic 2.1 when it comes out?

As the title says...
I've tricked my Generic UK phone into thinking it was nordic and got SEUS to upgrade me to Nordic Combined 2.1... I've rooted it using Superoneclick..
I've had a look around the forum, but to be honest there's so much out there it's like searching for a needle in a haystack.. I've tried various search strings but to no avail...
So.. has anyone sussed out how to switch from one 2.1 ROM to another yet, cos as soon as the UK Generic comes out i'd like to switch back to it to get my warranty back in place!!!....
Thanks.

Yes you can. I'll update my guide on how-to do so very soon.
Wow... That's the quickest response I've ever had to any question, anywhere.. including when I asked my wife if she wanted me to buy her a new handbag she'd been drooling over!!
Thanks!

You should, hopefully the method to debrand/rebrand by switching the version's code will work with 2.1 and it will be really easy. Just wait a couple of days after it has been made available in Brazil and I'm sure someone will post a tutorial here.
I'm interested as well. I'd like to switch back to UK generic unbranded. Keep us posted please!

i think it would be best to grab the X10 flasher from these forums, and then wait until the firmware is released. give it hours/days, and the firmware will probs be available somewhere, and you can then place the firmware in the firmware folder of the X10 flasher.
Alternatively you can change your default.props, but I haven't properly looked into this method as I used the flasher to go global generic, and to be fair, don't really care much for flashing across to UK generic, I dont see the point.

[Q] NTT Docomo Xperia x10 Upgrading firmware to android 2.1

I am currently using NTT Docmo Xperia x10 on android 1.6. Its model is SO-01b and i want to upgarde to android 2.1 and unlock the phone as well. But i am not clear which version to use , nordic or global. I am not sure but on according to wikipedia nTT docomo so-01b is based on x10a.
Please someone help me if anyone could give me suggestion.
My Docomo X10 is flashed to global generic 2.1 and running just fine.
Just don't forget to write down your APNs so you can put them back.
You want the "bizho" one, since that's the network where your internet fees are capped.
Thanks for the response gtkashi.I am now in Nepal and want to make the phone work here in Nepal by upgrading to android 2.1. Could u please clarify me whether flashing would make the phone sim free.
it won't. You're just updating the software, not unlocking the phone.
Get in contact with nttdocomo to see what their policies/costs for unlocking your phone are or try to see whether there's some shady services for unlock codes by now.
Global to Docomo firmware 2.1
With this upcoming update for Docomo, if you currently have global 2.1, how would we "instruct" SEUS to flash the Docomo firmware? Would we need to edit some *.prop ?
Personally I'm hoping someone would extract the firmware itself so that the flasher tool can be used to overwrite the existing one.
Either way, 30 min til Nov 10!

Use flash tool 0.2.9.1 to flash the appropriate x10a or x10i 2.1.A.0.435 firmware. Both the flash tool and firmware can be found here....

Here is a detailed step by step guide for noobs on updating. It is based on AT&T X10a, but it will work for anyone. Just use the correct model firmware....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1012380
There are ways to implement dualtouch on your existing firmware, however if you flash the generic 2.1.A.0.435 firmware you will be certain to get the official 2.3.3 Gingerbread update directly from PC Companion or SEUS when available.
Just to add on top of the instructions provided,
You will lose your personnel data. So BACKUP before you start with this procedure.

Flashing android 2.1 generic u.k rom

Hi I just got an x10 for a relative because it was a really cheap deal. It has 3 branded android 1.6 software still on it. Can anyone tell me where to get the generic uk software and what to use to flash it onto the phone. I was going to use Omnius to flash it but they don't have generic uk on there, just generic global and some other generic international.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Can you not just use SEUS or PC Companion to update this to the latest 2.1 software?
Both of those progs are available from the SE website.
I would go with that for a quick official fix
Failing this look for Flash Tool in this forum and follow the guide.
Flashtool is available from here along with the generic firmware for the x10i
Moved to proper forum.
Thanks for your reply. I have upgraded it to 2.1 using seus but as i said in my first post. its branded to 3 and i want to have unbranded generic software so that i can upgrade to 2.3 when that arrives
Just click on the link that I put into my first post to flashtool ... on that page you can download global generic firmware and flashtool to flash it with.
THere is also an excellent tutorial on how to use flashtool by rendeiro2005 here
