before i begin i just want you to know ive tried to search for a whole day and still hit a dead end..
I just bought an X10 for AT&T USA so its x10a. brand new.
I already have it unlocked already so im using T-mobile USA.
I also have setup my internet access properly via tweakker.com
My question, why can i only use EDGE?! no 3G...
when i go to settings the network mode selection cannot be selected... what gives?!
should i debrand my phone? or root? will it make a difference? or is there a hardware issue here?

It's only twice Anyway, run steps 1 to 5 HERE, then run SEUS which will update you to 026. After you've got to that stage, run the additional step for X10a from the same link, and that should be that.
But if you are wanting to root your phone too, see THIS guide which will do the above also.

Yeah. but i always seem to hit the same result. but this time im gonna do it really slow.
BTW, is what dangerpanda said true?
ok so im done with 1 to 5.. i ran SEUS and it said my phone dint need an update..
im going to skip that for now.. im doing the x10a additional now.. should i do step 4 only, 5 only, or 4 and 5?

You should need an update because it's flashed an old firmware on there, so would run it anyway despite it saying you dont.
You should have followed every step from 1 to, and including 5, then run seus, then the additional step. I'm back at home now so will be here to help.

This is correct.
Debranding will not help you get 3G on T-Mobile with an X10a.
Only the X10i will access the correct frequency for 3G with T-mobile.

yes. i had followed every thing you said. 1 2 3 4 and 5. then SEUS.

This might be why seus didn't run as you need to get it back to an X10a, but that means then you'll have to use another carrier for 3G.

All I did is debranded my phone to LAM Generic R2BA026.
I backed up these files before I debranded my phone to Generic.
Did AT&T brand this firmware like crazy?
By the look of the file size posted by the OP, this firmware looks very slimmed down.
The generic 026 NAM weighs in about 124MB in size. This AT&T firmware is only 116MB. I am assuming PlayNow is not there and maybe other stuff.
Anyone install it on their device yet?
il try it
give me some time il throw it on right now il take that back my update app wont let meflash my phone sucks

1) phone comes with at least 7 ATT apps
2) ATT boot screen ..DUH!
3) no play now
4) timescape is the same, mediascape has ATT music at the bottom
5) phone only comes with stock Android keyboard
6) google search widget has microphone icon next to it
7) youtube login account finally worked!! didnt work any of the generic firmwares for some reason
8) new wallpapers

Question: Is Multi-Touch on ATT X10a Hardware disable? or Software Disable?
I am trying to figure out, which phone to get, comparing this phone with ATT Captivate.
well both phone have no front facing camera, no biggy for me.

It were said many times that X10 does not supports Multi-touch, so skip asking around about it.
It is seem the R2C firmware is just a customize for ATT, so sad
I'm quite curious to see anyone debrand it and upgrade it to 2.2...1.6 is soo old for a phone like that..
I asked the people at att and they say it was 2.1..turns out they lied.
Can you post apps and boot screen

You know they always will! Did they even know what you were talking about? I don't think so bro. A bunch of MORONS there. I plan on getting this phone too it looks sexier than captivate.
Did any one have any luck rooting their Xperia x10 on AT&T yet? If so, can you please tell us which of the rooting methods you used? I'm dying to get rid of all the bloated AT&T crap on the stock rom, and put my own on so that I can use the phone to its full potential.
Thanks in advance to anyone who has rooted their Xperia on AT&T and can tell us how they did it!
I used both methods. I used the 5 step (actually 7 for X10a) initially and then redid it with the 3 step for the 026 rom. On the three step I had to edit the third batch file to correct a syntax error.

And this was on the AT&T version of the x10a or a different version of it? If it's the AT&T version, can you tell me exactly how you did it so that I can root my phone as well?
Thanks!

Then why wait? All the tools you need are right here in this forum. You can always change to x10a once it's available.

Hi guys,
My friend can send (Austria) me this phone but is sim locked.
Is there good way unlock the phone?
Docomo unlocks at point of purchase for a fee.
Check provider to see if they will also.
I'm buying from a friend, so it will be locked to O2, what's the easiest/cheapest way to have it unlocked?
Thanks.
O2 send the unlock code free of charge on request, it took 17 days for mine to arrive but no questions asked and it worked.
Ok, cool. Do you just call them up? Or pop in one of their shops?

Andy O2 models of the phone have a bootloader that's locked and it's not unlockable yet. You testing just using the phone or you considering to hack it?
At the end of it all, I'll be reviewing it. I did want to put ICS on it though. About 15 minutes ago I've seen the bootloader of this can't be unlocked though
Nothing that can be done?
**EDIT** Sorry, silly me, you've said not unlockable yet Thanks.

I am looking for a copy of correct firmware too. If I can find it I will let you know, please do the same for me. My phone is not bricked but wanna have a backup plan before I start flashing anything. You can take your phone back and tell them the battery went dead and once you got it charged and turned it on it started doing this. CSpire employees are dumb, they won't know any better and will replace your device. I know from experience. I bricked my buddies Milestone X2 while trying to unlock it's bootloader. He took it to the store the next day and they replaced it for free.

P769 won't get custom roms for a little while. We are still waiting on the jelly bean/bootloader unlock update, that came out in europe. I speculate that we will have all the custom roms that are available on p760 in about 1-2 months but there is no way to know for sure. But still a solid phone for the price (I got mine as a free upgrade when I renewed my contract) and the prepaid is $200 I believe.

People need very small procedures and quick solutions. The length of the guide could be the problem. They simply dont read it fully. I think the guide looks lengthy but the flashing and rooting is very simple and quick.
Sometimes they dont even explain what are problems.

Yes the guide is long but all u need to do is read fully thru a few times then follow instructions exactly as they are typed skipping nothing. I tried root one night and i was under the influence it took me so many tries i gave up but i sobered up read thru the guide again did it step by step and successfully rooted my phone. Ppl have to make sure they change their host files and reboot otherwise ur gonna get that lg server maintenance error which is what had me stuck until i changed my hosts file correctly
