[Q] Change Nordic 2.1 build.prop possible? - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

I'm currently running 2.1 Nordic on X10 mini pro. When my country's (SG) version 2.1 is out, is it possible to just change the build.prop in current Nordic version to SG and re-flash via SEUS?
Is there any other thing i should be aware of before i try that?
Thanx in advance.

I tried for the purpose of test to flash Russian 2.1 over Nordic 2.1. It didn´t work.

****, because that's what i wanted to do when the german 2.1 is out. so, if that isn't possible, what do we do then?
edit: i read so much stuff on here the last days, what i'm going to try is de/reinstall SEUS after that, at least move or rename the /db/ folder.

You can flash back to 1.6, root, change build.prop and update again via seus.

I stand corrected. you can´t downgrade to 1.6, but can switch to another version of 2.1 via editing build.prop
It is a good idea to reinstall seus, and delete all directories of Sony Ericssson before making any drastic changes.

vlissine, can u list down which country version u're able to change to? Cuz i tried a few SG version but was unsuccessful.

Yeh u can just delete the settings db and temp folders instead of reinstalling seus I think. Something like that anyway, don't remember the exact folders

For 1.6, all we need to do was change the country/product in build.prop and just update via seus. So i'm assuming the same applies to 2.1 as well, unless I'm wrong.
PS: U can't downgrade to 1.6 via SEUS but u can flash to 1.6 via flashtool.

Apparently when you tell PC Companion to Repair, it will obey whatever is in build.prop regardless of the current firmware, thus allowing you to shuttle between different 2.1 firmwares.
Allegedly, anyway. I haven't test this myself.

i just put báck the original build.prop and my phone went into infinite boot loop ????????????/ so weird. any body can help me...

try to reinstall using seus. if not reload everything using flashtool.

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

[Q] Help Needed Restoring Rogers X10A firmware

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.

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 ?

[Q] Noob Questions About Rooting and Updating

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.

And then you re-roooted again after update and have all the apps including Link2SD functioning properly?
BTW this update doesn't seem to have anything great which can equal the pain taken to reinstall everything. If Termdonte's process works OK universally then it can be tried.
Hoping for Tattoo 2.2 port by Contrarian / CM 2.2 by Mikevhl to work then only i may do a full upgrade.

[Q] using PC companion to update to gingerbread

when we update PC companion in our pc, it asks for our region right? if we give our region as thailand, is it possible to update our phone to the generic 2.3.3 gingerbread as it is released in Thai?
nope, someone else tried that already, there wasent an update to gingerbread even if u change your settings to thailand or china.
The most silly idea I've ever read on xda. Seriously, the update isn't released yet, and in fact there's no solid proofs that can prove the update at Thai was real, maybe its an unofficial update just for the expo, but it maybe fake too.
Just wait, when SE said its released then its released.
Sent from my X10 using XDA App
PC Companion reads your phone's CDA number to determine which firmware update you get. Changing the region on PC Companion won't do anything.
However, if you are rooted you can edit your CDA number in the build.prop file to change brands or regions. Reboot, then run repair software via SEUS or PC Companion with the edited CDA number. Just make sure you delete the contents inside the folder " db " found inside the folder where you saved SEUS or PC Companion on your computer.
Fyi, CDA 1234 - 4820 to change your phone to global generic X10a in preparation for the 2.3.3 Gingerbread update.

don't get too exited now... wait for the update

Maybe, no one besides some guys from SE, no anything so far.
Nothing is real, nothing is true, everything is just gossips, jokes or "guessed" information.
There is nothing saying when the updates are going to be released, to say poeple that it is coming in the next few months to me may mean 2 month and up to 10 months, who knows.
Just keep testing your custom rom.
what is all the fusss here
CM7 by J is very smooth and powerful with custome kernel and can be used daily.
Iris by Trip is Very Smooth and sweet with stock kernel and can be used daily.
Only problem they both have is proper camera and navigations issues.

Yes, if you have X10i, then use the X10i global generic CDA. I just didn't know it to post it. However, it doesn't matter for SEUS or PC Companion. The difference would be in the baseband.

Yes it does matter to SEUS and PCC what CDA you use.
As I said they wont recognize your device and allow you to flash if you put a X10a CDA into a X10i or a SO-01b CDA into a X10a. The CDA must be for your device, be it X10a, X10i or SO-01b.

No. Both J and Trip's ROMs, although great, are not complete. Huge battery drain, not so smooth at times, no full camera and videocamera.
2.2 ROMs have Video camera lag, HUGE battery issues with custom kernels, and are good but...it's definitely not perfect.
SE's 2.3.3 would fix all that, not to mention might add new features like tethering and 16M colors.
Wow, cant believe theres no meantion of enoloks 2.2 xshinybread rom. Ive been using it for 3 days now with 350 kernel. The camcorder is super smooth and loud audio, no lag, I have 2 x10s and compared to optimized 2.1 with camera mods. On top of that one, everything works perfect for me and after a few cycles Ive got 12hrs as of now and at 48% battery moderate use with bluetooth all day. I quadrant 1380 and linpack 36+, 1420 and 38 with 347 kernel but not completely stable. Ive tried trips billions of updates, and wolfs is nice but I had some issues with battery, among other things, this is the best Ive tried. That said, official gingerbread is what Im waiting for and no disrespect to the devs meantioned, I know its somewhat of a collabaration so they all deserve respect, thats why I chimed in.

According to unknown13x, you won't be able to get the official 2.3.3 Gingerbread update directly from PC Companion or SEUS on modified (rooted) firmware. You'll have to run repair software via SEUS or PC Companion prior to updating or use the Flash Tool to reflash generic 2.1.A.0.435 firmware.
