hey guys, i've been going about the forums and trying out various stuff. i really want android 2.1 on my phone, but i've had no success. and i only just found out that the SO-01B runs on x10a configurations and according to wikipedia, it has lack of support for android 2.1.
is this true? if not, can someone please link me to a guide that will work for me? i've seen alot around but im not sure which one would work and i really don't want to mess up the phone.
Im running on android 1.6 with RABA026 FW
Thank you!
no probs
hi there,
I'm in Japan with the So-01B and I have updated succesfully to 2.1
Same as you I flashed mine to an x10i and latest firmware (before 2.1).
Just donwload the decryted 2.1 ROM with flashtool from the main board and flash it. You'll be fine
Yes. I also updated my SO-01B to 2.1. No problems so far Everything works great.
Just use the version that provided @Bin4ry (hail to the genius) and you're set.
and don't forget to back up everything if things go sour (you never know).
i also have the same model as yours, and updated successfully.. i tried both the nordic and global firmware and both worked well..
can you please link me to thread that has the instructions?
DONE!
thanks =D

As the title says...
I've tricked my Generic UK phone into thinking it was nordic and got SEUS to upgrade me to Nordic Combined 2.1... I've rooted it using Superoneclick..
I've had a look around the forum, but to be honest there's so much out there it's like searching for a needle in a haystack.. I've tried various search strings but to no avail...
So.. has anyone sussed out how to switch from one 2.1 ROM to another yet, cos as soon as the UK Generic comes out i'd like to switch back to it to get my warranty back in place!!!....
Thanks.

Yes you can. I'll update my guide on how-to do so very soon.
Wow... That's the quickest response I've ever had to any question, anywhere.. including when I asked my wife if she wanted me to buy her a new handbag she'd been drooling over!!
Thanks!
Will I be able to install brazillian 2.1 Generic version too when it comes out?

You should, hopefully the method to debrand/rebrand by switching the version's code will work with 2.1 and it will be really easy. Just wait a couple of days after it has been made available in Brazil and I'm sure someone will post a tutorial here.
I'm interested as well. I'd like to switch back to UK generic unbranded. Keep us posted please!

Thank you so much for your effords !

i think it would be best to grab the X10 flasher from these forums, and then wait until the firmware is released. give it hours/days, and the firmware will probs be available somewhere, and you can then place the firmware in the firmware folder of the X10 flasher.
Alternatively you can change your default.props, but I haven't properly looked into this method as I used the flasher to go global generic, and to be fair, don't really care much for flashing across to UK generic, I dont see the point.
Custom SG X10 Mini Pro build.prop for 1.6 as requested by porcupineadvocate.
This is the build.prop i used to update my 1.6 to 2.1 -update1 2.0.A.0.504 5 (u201_1238-7173)
Have fun!
Great, thanks
Aw, replacing my build.prop with this build.prop had no effect
Could you upload your post-upgrade 2.1 build prop? I'm trying to see whether it's possible to duplicate this method, for the pro instead of the normal mini. Which entails swapping the 2.1 build.prop in instead.
i upload 2 build.prop in this file. try the 2nd one if the 1st one doesn't work. sry about that.
Btw, this is for 1.6. If u're already on nordic 2.1, flash to 1.6 and use this file to update via SEUS.
Ahhh... but do you have the build.prop after upgrading to 2.1? Because that's what the other method calls for
(yeah, I'm on 1.6. But it's currently UK/generic)
I can extract that from my phone. However, by changing the build.prop on 2.1, i wasn't able to get any update for SG. Other users have reported that they're able to change and update successfully though. I'm trying to get more info from them and try out the next few days to see if it can be done on 2.1. Will keep the community updated if its successful.
You're great, thanks.
Okay, never mind. Changing the code in my (generic-UK) build.prop to 1238-7173 (the code for generic-SG?) and then restarting managed to get it to update.
that's good news. which means it didn't work last time cuz the updates for sg weren't out yet.
sg as in singapore phones?
my phone was branded by singtel singapore
yes evo, as in singapore. u can see the flag on the left side ya?
the unbranded 2.1 f/w for sg is available, not sure about branded ones (m1,singtel,starhub)/ will check later today since i don't have to work.
mine is singtel branded..
is the official update out yet?

Thank you. I tried this firmware number and it worked for my X10 Mini Pro. There was an update notice and everything installed nicely using SEUS

And as I'm sure it's pointed out in them it's to flash 2.1 fw only, not 1.6.

We're all noobs at some point.
i just got a rogers branded x10a with currently build: R2BA020 and Firmware : 1.6 and baseband : 1.1.25
i would ideally like my phone to look like the one on this website http://www.malabarth.comeze.com/ its a rom called blue sparks
Im new to the x10 and would appreciate if someone could give me a rough step by step of how to get there
THANK YOU in advance
If no one helps u by U.S. Ohio time in morning, i wil PM with my little guide to help u. I dont have a computer in front of me to send my little guide
Sent from XDA Premium from my X10a rooted running 2.3.2 gingerbread rom from rdannar
The first thing you need to do is to upgrade your baseband to the latest firmware possible (Bluespark uses the 2.1.A.0.435). Next is rooting your phone to enable you to install custom ROMS, install xRecovery and you are good to go.
Follow this thread for more details -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=678513
Okay, I have gathered how to update my x10a to 2.3 and since I was able to take the AT&T branded one and put 2.1 on it before I feel confident that I can update it to 2.3. However, the problem is that on multiple computers and multiple browsers I can not find a working link for any of the firmware downloads specifically for the x10a. I have even tried for the x10i since I know that will still work as well. Can anyone help me with finding a working link for the 2.3 x10a firmware?
Thank you!
