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!

i will like you to share my knowledge regarding returning back to own country firmware from the nordic 2.1
first of all download the bin4ry update tool and firmware but not any firmware but 1.6 firmware
downgrade your firmware from 2.1 nordic to 1.6 any countries firmware should work
then change the value of build.prop to your orginal handset value or your choice value.for more information about the value you can search blog
then try to update it with seus. if it say you have latest firmware then repair it with seus and if seus dont give option for repair then use pc companion .
if you are lucky then you will get the latest firmware or downgrade your firmware to your choice of firmware and that is great for now cauz if there is any update for your choice of firmware then you will get update so need to wait for while
i know this work cauz i have done this by first of all i was using nordic 2.1 thou my orginal firmware is uk generic then i downgrade my firmware to netherland 1.6 and then i change the value/replace it with my orginal build.prop and now this mornign i repair my phone with seus and it is working like acharm 2.1 ..hurry guys ...
i have included my build.prop 1.6 so this should work for each and every one
Thanks for share.

Use the NL one in the link above, root the phone using Androot, copy the build.prop from the first post to /system/usr and replace the old one, then open PC Companion while your phone is connected and click update.
Hi @all,

I see the X10 is getting an update to 2.3 my question is I have a custom rom for 2.1 and am wandering if pc companion will update it or if i will have to debrand and reflash to old stock att 1.6 to get the newest update
First, you will not get the update running AT&T branded firmware. You need to be running the 2.1 generic firmware that gets the update. There are different theories on what regions/kits will get the update first. Global Generic is my guess, but unknown13x says Europe first.
Basically, don't do anything till the update is released. It's all speculative at this point.
Btw, all the gingerbread info is in the "sticky" thread at the top of the general section. Look there for future info, as this thread may get closed by mods.
For those who are running AT&T branded 2.1 or 1.6 firmware, here is a step by step guide for unbranding to global generic 2.1.A.0.435, which will get the official 2.3.3 Gingerbread update directly from PC Companion or SEUS when available......

Sorry to burst your bubble, but AT&T will NOT be updating the X10.
They are ONLY updating phones released in 2011 to Gingerbread.

Hi
I own an Xperia Ray running 2.3.4 stock gingerbread. I'm on the O2 UK network so I can't update to ICS because O2 does not allow the update to be pushed to the phone. How do I update to ICS?

wtf?? i diónt think thats truth ?!?! just download sony update software (pc companion i guess) for pc & update it to ICS. i dont think o2 is in the position to decide zhis. even theres no law for this. also googeling doesent show anything about this. i guess its some kind of rumor......
if that not works (it doesent showed me an update for the 1st time as i bought my arc new) you can flash ICS throug flashtool :
