So you can update with your own country's firmware and not the Nordic One.
It was to test the flashed mostly. I obviously have gone back to 2.1 again :-D

I would like to upgrade to 2.1, I have a South African X10.
Am I correct in thinking I must flash the 1.6 Nordic firmware and thereafter flash the 2.1 firmware?
Can someone please help me with the steps I need to take (my phone is not rooted), as reading the development section, there seems to be a lot going on and I am not quite sure which thread to follow, etc..
Thanks so much.

Do not flash your phone.... it is way too complicated in my view... let the default sony ericsson programme do it... try this post...worked for alot of people
Debrand to Nordic Combined (B) Quick and update to 2.1
I need to send my phone back in for warranty (Camera stopped working) i've tried searching the previous threads but all the old methods like omnius dont work (can't download it) I've got the original root packages but that only gets me back to debranded x10i firmware. Kind of a new i've tried using the current flasher made by bin4ry and loading the firmware a_WWE_R1FA014_DEK.zip but i'm not even sure its rogers firmware and it hasnt yeilded me much success.
if anyone could help me out and give me a brief step by step

I'm not 100% sure but I don't think a Rogers branded fw for the x10a was ever uploaded to XDA.
Edit: davinciteam should work too -- man it's been a while since I used that... I used to have a w650 a w800 a w850 and a w900 at different points. Haha.
The newest flasher from bin4ry doesn't work with version 1.6 as far as I know, so you'd have to use the old flasher (from those root packages you have) to flash it.
Unless someone can link to the OEM Rogers fw, your best bet is to go for the debranded one you mentioned in your post, with the older flasher from the root packages.
dude, I replaced mine, sent it back with generic 026, Rogers didn't say a word, I wouldn't stress about it.

Make sure you have download the WWE_R1FA014 for X10a from post # 2 in the following link, and flash it to your x10a with flash tool.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683793
Once that done, connect your x10a with SEUS and perform an update. SEUS should update your Rogers X10a to the latest Roger's firmware version.

Oh thats a good point too. I forgot about that. Evil evil SEUS.
I'm in a similar situation here, my USB connector broke and i need to send it back in. I'm on build 023 and i've also rooted my phone too, i know that voids the warranty for sure. What do you think?
which flash tool and firmware files needed to restore photo to original x10a rogers 1.6 from nordic 2.1 x10i ?
didn't like 2.1 so want to restore my rogers x10a, anyway ?
I have the X10i from China and it's in 1.6
I did the "official" update to 2.1 but lost Marketplace and everything relating to the West (youtube, facebook, twitter).
I wanted to know if I can go back to 1.6 and use the 1 touch root app to root the cell that way.
After I root it, how can I update the Android OS? Also what is the highest OS that can be run on the X10? Can we use 2.2 if we root the cell?
Thanks.

Flash to nordic or global FW then... There is a tutorial at the Development thread. Use z4Root after you upgrade it too 2.1
Thanks, I'll give it a try.
Thanks, worked.
Still running on the Chinese Android 2.1 though, no market.
At least it's rooted well enough that I can just add files if I want if I can find them.
Thanks for the help.

Well I did try to flash it to the Global 2.1, but even after it flashed, it was still the same Chinese one. So I guess it's something I did totally wrong then.
So I'll just keep it as it, I'm not sure what else I can do besides constantly trying to flash every copy of global 2.1 I can download and hoping that one of them will take.
Thanks for the advice though.
Hi All,
I've recently purchased an X10 and while its quite a nice phone, I'm sure it would be a hell of a lot nicer if it was running 2.1 - some things which are "missing" in 1.6 have started to annoy me haha.
To this end, it would appear Telstra are about the slowest telco on the planet to release an update. My current firmware is as follows:
X10a
Country: Australia, Brand: Telstra
Phone Software Version: 1227-4612_R2BA023 GENERIC
I understand that if I follow a tutorial such as the "Debrand your Xperia X10 [Tutorial]" on xperiax10.net (google finds it, I'm not allowed to link yet sorry!) and debrand it, SEUS will then automatically update my phone to 2.1 next time I try to update.
Can anyone tell me what is a good X10a firmware for use in Australia? Note that it needs to be X10a since I use an 850MHz "nextg" network. The list on the link above appears to give me a rather limited set of choices, none of which sound generic or australian (what makes latin america latin america??).
If anyone could give me some hints that would be most apprecitated!
Thanks,
Tom

Which no doubt stems from xda, so you might as well use the original guides from here.
X10Flash 2.1 final & 2.1 Firmware (Update Flasher 14.11.2010)
That will debrand and update you to 504 firmware, then you can install xRecovery, then install a prerooted .24 which is the latest FW, which can't be rooted in the usual methods just yet.
And give this a read too - Step By Step Flashing 1.6 - 2.1
Aside of Xperiax10user advice. After you are done with the upgrade to. 504 2.1 version I recommend you to follow this easy thread to install Xrecovery, delete Junk apps and install Zdizihu's JIT v2...

Tom, I had exactly the same issue with Telstra. My brother is with Optus and had his months ago. I finally cracked it and de-branded my phone, installed 2.1 and it all went fine. Trust me its worth it. Then i rooted it and have'nt looked back... goo luck mate
Hi,
Thanks for the advice! I followed the tutorial and updated to 504, then flashed again to .24, however on both of these my bluetooth does not work :-/ Windows 7 shows nothing in the services menu and the phone seems to pair with devices but never connect. Also the .24 ROM available appears to have been a X10i ROM, this doesn't seem to have mattered though as 850MHz HSDPA still seems to work.
Any thoughts on fixing bluetooth?
I haven't installed the rooted version btw and I'm not quite sure what xrecovery does? Thanks!!
Fixed BT - turns out it didn't like to talk to my MacBookPro on Windows - updating Boot Camp drivers to 3.2 fixed that.
As for xrecovery, what does it do? And how does one root 0.24?
Thanks for the help!
Tom

You could have saved time and flashed straight to it using SEUS if you didn't want to root.

Allows you to flash to the phone at boot, so you can install custom and user ROMS, themes, and pretty much anything else.

You need to unroot otherwise it will say that it is "unofficial firmware" and will not let you upgrade. Remove JIT and go to flashtool thread and flash global generic.
