Having Problems Flashing to 026 - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I have a Rogers branded x10a that is currently on 020 firmware.
I'd really like to flash it to the 026, latest firmware.
However, out of the two methods I've tried, none worked.
The first method was using the X10Flash.bat file,
which gave me an error like this.
( I did connect the phone in Flash mode with the green LED )
I also did put the device ID in the folder, although I could only find one DeviceID through Regedit as opposed to some others finding more than one.

The second method i tried, was the one posted on xperiax10.net
http://www.xperiax10.net/2010/04/14/debrand-your-xperia-x10-tutorial/
With this one, I always get a install failed error.
Please point me in the right direction! Thanks for your help

Judging by the pic you posted it seems like your Java isn't set up or installed properly, which leads me to assume you're on a 64bit version of Windows.
If so, following this video (and reading the description) will fix all your problems.

EDIT: Just noticed you said you're on Rogers. I'm about to save you a few hours of raging after your update when you realise your 3G internet doesn't work.
After the update go into Settings>Wireless Controlls>Mobile Networks>Auto Internet Settings and chose "Rogers".
When you've done that, go back to the homescreen. Now, go to Settings>Wireless Controlls>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names> and click on GoRogers.
Change the APN field to "internet.com".
Now your 3G will work.
You'll thank me later

Hi Hypercore,
Thanks for replying!
However, I'm actually on Windows XP SP3, not sure if it has 64 bit or not.
The video is made for Windows 7 so I do not know how to follow it
And for the 3G problem, I actually don't use 3G right now, but thanks for thinking ahead for me !
I did notice that whenever I run it, I get a corrupt file in the temp directory. Not sure if that is the problem :/ ?
The Error baloon in the bottom right says java.exe
The file or directory C:\DOCUME~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\hsperfdata_Owner\132 is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility
