Hi everyone. For those of you who have an X10a, who's planning on flashing to 2.1 X10i software as soon as it's available?
Bin4ry and MarylandCookie have recommended against it, in favour of waiting for an X10a specific 2.1 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=823115. However, I know we're all impatient and want to get new FW ASAP. We also know that in 1.6 ROMs it was not an issue to have an X10a flashed with X10i FW, and in the end, it didn't seem to affect anything, despite the different basebands.
I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread open for anyone to warn others if it brought disastrous results.
So, let's have it: anyone planning on flashing immediately with 2.1 Nordic?
Just want to add my stuff here
You MAY get Baseband issues. So the firmware and everything else should run well, but depends on the carrier you have you can get problems with 3G.
But i personally think that you will be able to flash back to 1.6 everytime using flashtool again, but that is not 100%. Maybe you have to wait for original X10A 2.1 to correct baseband.
Regards
Bin4ry
No point screwing up your phone not having SEUS support. Just debrand using the latest LAM firmware and wait till the official 2.1 is out.
SE LAM stated last week that they were still on target for a late Oct launch so it wouldn't surprise me if it gets released on Monday.
I am waiting....what is an extra day or two anyways...
Well you should be able to extract the baseband from the LAM f/w and then use the Generic Global
Or just wait for Rogers lol and have a seperate thread for the wait on that!!
No point in taking the risk, chances are that someone will try it right away and post the results within 10 minutes of the update anyways, so I'm going to just sit back and let someone elses phone be the lab rat haha.

Why would X10i users wait for the X10a. Can you quote exactly what it is they "warn against"?

The potential problems are with X10a phones running an X10i rom but you already know that since the title of the thread is phrased correctly. Just want to avoid further confusion there...

He meant x10a users waiting for x10a firmware. Seems to have been a misunderstanding here. This point was referring to x10a users flashing their handsets with the Nordic x10i release of 2.1 but were advised to wait for the LAM release or their Rogers.
Hi guys can please someone let me know whats going on? My question is why u dont advise flashing an x10a with x10i? My phone was originaly the stock rogers one and was x10a but to debrand it i used 026 x10i rom a few months ago and now its 026 x10i global generic. So can i flash this 2.1 rom?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
In a nutshell we had x10a baseband for 1.6 but for 2.1 we dont.
You could try flashing it without the x10i 2.1 baseband but we dont know how that will go down and how that will affect functionality of 3g, radios, mediascape etc so we advised against it. At your own peril .... lol

There are files on those guides to change back to X10a, and it's my understanding that if you've flashed a to i or vice versa you can't use SEUS to update.

My bad. The first X10i should be an X10a. Edited.
As for assurances that it can be reversed... I'm confident that even if it doesn't work, someone here with figure out a way to reflash X10a firmware... but the bottom line is that it is unlikely that it will be irreversible, but we cannot know until someone tries.

man ive been reading this for days on end, and im confused as hell.

Robby don't be mean
(ofcourse they are for that but they aren't supposed to know)
Anyway, I think you're fine mate, as long as you flash back an X10a firmware. People say that SEUS doesn't work if you 'cross-flash' but maybe you can just wait till Sunday evening and see if u don't get any update, and then flash back

IMO, I think we are perfectly fine with the x10i 2.1 version coming out (if we can flash it)
There is a possibility for it to go screwy but I think we proved it won't by using previous x10i roms on x10a. I honestly doubt that they would have changed this, if they were this concerned about it then 2.2 would be out.
I hope my intuitions are correct I'll probably try it first day (just not the first person )
Hi everyone,
I'm in canada and own an x10 with rogers.
Last week, I loaded the global fw on it and rooted it. So far everything works great.
Reading up on other posts, it seems like some ppl who updated prematurely regardless of their regions are planning and coming up with ways to update according to their regions once the official updates roll out.
The question I have is, why? My x10 works fine although it's not x10a anymore. So is it necessary to switch?
Hi man, I just finished to re-flash my X10a with the new Brazilian FW (X10a 2.1) i choose to match Phone Version(X10a) with FW Version(X10a)....reflash is so easy why not?
Btw with GlobalFW my bluetooth dosent work with the laptop (1.6 do) but now with the correct FW works great again (placebo effect? idont kown)
maybe beacuse people want to keep their warranty...

Hi can you post your build.prop? I'm trying to put my 2.1 back to Brazil but I must have missed something, cos PC Companion can't download the file. I might have made a mistake with the version numbers...
Rogers will release 2.1 tomorrow.
Or at least this is the rumor.

It's very unlikely, but, some users also like/want their carrier/region specific bundled applications.
And, like, yeah, warranty.
Hi All,
I recently flashed my at&t X10a to X10a R2BA026 0001 CUSTOMIZED GEL/LUSTER WHITE NAM_1. I assume this is the generic for North America. My question is, does anyone know when the 2.1 update for the firmware I specified will be released? Any information would be much appreciated.
Thank you all!
according to SE LAM it'll be ready for this week, they just said 2.1 will be released during the week of nov 15th
I'm just waiting xD
Really SE Latm really work? LOL, but will make that rom a difference to have the nordic or global?

In the post from xperia10 it is X10a CUST-GEL NAM1 1234-4820 this is not the KIT #, it is what you need to get
PC Companion to do a repair. Put in KIT # and you get back up to date no new firnware available.
GEL = GEneric Latin
It is out today 11/17, I loaded it this morning.

I am estimate this happen again.

The SE official ROM is 2.3.3 the extra .3 you refer to is a carrier specific update (I think) so if you want to know if there is a 2.3.3.4 you need to speak to your carrier...

when SE released their version or 2.3.3 it was first sent to the carriers (Vodafone, rodgers, at&t etc) for them to tweak as they wanted. For example, google release 2.3.3, SE then tweak it by adding SE apps (Timescape etc) then it goes to vodafone who put vodafone apps onto it...
the extra .3 in your version maybe the version from your phone network provider, it has nothing to do with the google or SE version....
I have not lost hope that SE update my phone to the new version of android,
perhaps this hope die with my phone.
