Nordic 2.1 -> Local 2.1, how to? - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I swapped my Aussie X10i to Nordic, installed 2.1, and then rooted it.
Will it be possible to install the Aussie 2.1 when it comes out?
To do that, should i simply swap my system> default.prop numbers back to original (1234-6150)?

---

ok, well i just checked in the "system" dir of my rooted 2.1, there is NO default.prop file.
Is there anyway to change my newly Nordic system back?

---

"How to", REALLY?? - http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=617

i dont know if you read my post, but im not after info on how to get Nordic, i already have set my x10 to Nordic and installed android 2.1.
Im asking if its possible to turn it back to its original location settings.
I went to find the "system > default.prop" file as used in the Nordic tut, but its not present in 2.1.

---

You might have to flash back to 1.6 to do it, a few people have asked the same thing but no one seems to know where the build prop file is in 2.1.

---

thanks,
hmm... you would think there would be some warning about that

I did it! Work fine!!!
I change code back using "/system/build.prop", change 3 lines, then repair by PC Comp

Just going through mine with RootExplorer and it's there for me in 2.1 Nordic, so wonder why it isn't for you.

thanhss, thats, ive found the 3 lines in "system>build.prop"
XperiaX10iUser, well thats strange because everyone else who has upgraded to 2.1 no longer has a "system>default.prop" anymore, are you sure you are not looking at the default.prop file in the root?

Yeah, I knew I'd seen something "prop" and was laid in bed last night playing and realised.

Omg i finally found a thread for this i have flashed my 1.6 to 2.1 nordic with the digit method, but now i want to swap from nordic 2.1 to dutch 2.1 i have already root everything i can also see my Build.prop but which lines i have to change because the build.prop look different then 1.6 thanks in advance

XperiaX10iUser, im not sure what you are doing, or talking about - but to clarify, there is nothing out of the ordinary about your screen shots, thats how all of our 2.1's look.
Infinitylindo, that was my opening question in the first post - im still waiting for an answer.
thanhss, said he did it, but i kind of doubt it. He said he swapped the numbers. Look at the screen shots by XperiaX10iUser above. See the lines with "...1234-8465", there are 3 of them. 2 are in the middle, last 1 is in the lower part. I doubt swapping the numbers back to original will work, because if you look at the 2nd one it says ..."2.1-update1..". Im not prepared to try it yet, because i think that could cause major screw ups.
As for what numbers to replace them with, i can only tell you the Australian one is "1234-6150". You should have written yours down.
After that, he said he just plugged in the USB and ran the PC companion update and it took him back to 1.6. Im too scared of making a brick to try this. I havent been able to make/use rom backups yet.

thanks for your fast reply i dont think you can go from nordic 2.1 to 1.6 i think its only possible to swap from nordic 2.1 to dutch andriod 2.1 or other region. i will try it later on i will let you know otherwise if it doenst work i will send my phone repair centrum. to flash back to dutch fw. And about the rootexplorer i have the same build.prop as xperiax10iuser so it only looks different then the build.prop off 1.6. let me know if you have more information. i have the dutch digits i will try now and let you know

That is why I said I'm confused. Is it not just a name change of the same file that is in 1.6? There's a prop file there so why not try that.

---

i have changed the 3 lines digit to dutch digit i,m only waiting for the dutch andriod 2.1 will be released then i can go from nordic 2.1 to dutch 2.1. i hope it will work

---

Infinitylindo, insure you have a backup and are safe to go ahead with that - im not advocating it in anyway - infact i doubt it will work.
Now that you have swapped your numbers, what happens when you check for an update? Does the PC companion try to instal 1.6?
XperiaX10iUser, just so we are on the same page:
in 1.6 there are 2 prop files, default.prop and build.prop.
In 2.1 default.prop is gone (in both 1.6 and 2.1 there is a default.prop in root).
Your question/suggestion is that the build.prop in 2.1 has taken the place for both the old default.prop and build.prop (i think thats what you are saying).
Yes the 1234-8465 numbers are in it, and it would be logical to swap them back, the reason i dont give it a go is that i dont know how to do a ROM backup and dont want a $350 brick, hence why i started the thread.

God knows then. Given they've changed some stuff in 2.1 could it just be the root file then you'll need to change. The only way is to try it, but as I'm happy with 2.1 I don't need to go back. Someone has posted on a thread they just used the x10flash.bat to go back, but can't remember which thread it was on.
EDIT: Downgrade from 2.1 to 1.6..

Yeah, ive read that thread, but it doesnt explain how to do it, or where to get this flashing tool
