it's in there..
The Generic UK update isn't out yet.. but very soon hopefully! (or so SE would have us believe!)
Ah great thanks. Knew about the secret menu but not what it was used for. I am on generic. Is there a way to change it to global and is it worth doing or should I just wait forever for the generic version to pop up? Advice appreciated

Depends how impatient you're feeling!!.. I had absolutely no intention of rooting etc.. but got fed up of the lack of info so I followed the simple upgrade method.. rooted using the one click root app on my phone.. changed the default prop values as per the thread instructions and plugged into SEUS.. bingo.. 2.1...
Rooting the 2.1 was a bit trickier though (want to go to UK Generic when it's out)..
all i get from sony when asked is *******There are still tests which need to be carried out on generic versions to ensure they meet UK laws & regulations.*******
Surely the global version is still subject to UK laws etc if its being used in the UK. What are the advantages and disadvantages of being rooted and does it affect my warranty? Thanks for all the advice really good for a nooby discovering the world of a real OS

Factory reset will only reset current firmware. You need to get the 1.6 flash tool from the development section and install the 1.6 firmware back onto device. REMEMBER use 1.6flash tool not 2.1 flash tool.
If you need links ill try to find them, but best to pm bin4ry

What are the advantages/disadvantages to degrading? Will I lose some of the apps that I have?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
degrading?? Did you mean upgrading? If you did... then yes you will lose everything on the phone - it's like having a new phone.

Unless you use back up and restore app availible from pc comp and if your rooted titanium back up too then you loose nothing atall...

Ok I am on o2 pay monthly but want to keep things like Moliere. In fact only moxier. I think that's the only thing. Don't want to root till warranty is up. But do want to upgrade ASAP. Without having to wait till o2 sort themselves out. Is it possible to take all my apps etc. Backthem up debrand upgrade then reinstall apps without being rooted.
Is that possible or fantasy?

Hey guys, I have a Rogers X10a that I've debranded to the Latin American R2BA026. Just wondering, do you think any of the other regions will get it before this one does? I read somewhere that SE Brazil said the 2.1 update over there would be sometime around the end of October... does this apply to the Generic firmware as well? or is that independent of all this
I looked around and couldn't find any similar thread so I'm posting this
Thanks in advance
I really doesnt matter who gets it first. As soon as its out, somone will upload it and then we will all be enjoying it. No point waiting for your carriers official release cause youll be waiting............ forever. Its coming. People are more excited about this release then my kid is about Xmass or summer vacation!
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
The X10 is getting updated to 2.1? That's news to me. \end sarcasm
Yeah whoever gets it first which I think is the UK (thought I read that somewhere) will upload it for us.

Since I'm new to this,
will the UK generic firmware work on the X10a?
I was just wondering if there are any downsides to updating with the nordic method. theres no word yet from rogers about an update yet and I don't really want to wait.
I'm on Rogers and I'm using that firmware. No problems or issues.

Same!!! Its been perfect for me. Im extremely happy with 2.1
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Cool thanks, I might give it a try then
I am on Rogers as well, it's great but I noticed today that I can not do a file transfer over bluetooth like I could with 1.6...can do audio but that's it.
I would suggest maby go for the WORLD GENERIC it seems more stable than the NORDIC maby its just me but after trying the NORDIC when it first came out the WORLD GENERIC seems to be a bit better
note im not on ROGERS Im on VODA in the UK but if your going to do the update try it and see which is best
remember to backup first as much as you can (root your 1.6 and use Titanium backup to backup your apps and data)

OK which firmware file did you download and use?
OR
In the lock screen (the one where you put your unlock pattern) Press the following Menu Back Back Menu Back Menu Menu Back
Then go to software info and give us the number under the Customization Version (XXXX-XXXX)
Menu = middle button with the box
Back = Button with the arrow.

You have flashed the X10a 2.1 World Generic. (This was previously the 1.6 Generic Latin America).
Enjoy your phone my friend!
I just sim unlocked my phone from at&t and have it debranded and rooted.
I'm just wondering, since I'm running a global generic firmware, will upgrading to gingerbread affect the root or sim unlock on my phone when it is finally released?
Sent from my X10a using XDA app
No it shouldn't, that is done on a deeper level than just the firmware.
The Gingerbread update will un-root your X10. Hopefully the devs can get it rooted shortly after, however they are having trouble rooting the ARC 2.3.3 update.
Are you talking about the sim unlock? Or the root?

Thanx, I was pretty sure that was the case, I just wanted to confirm it. I was more worried about having to pay to get it sim unlocked again, but I shouldn't, should I? That has something to do with the bootloader, not the firmware, right?

This is totally different. Your Sim will remain unlocked if you change your firmware.
Cheers.
Thanx, I'm really glad to hear that, I believed that to be the case I just wanted to confirm it with someone to make sure.

Sim unlock
Who did you go through to get your sim unlocked? I've been looking around and it looks like most of them are scams and I don't wanna get ripped off. I just switched to tmobile and want to use my att xperia still. I just wanna get reliable info from someone about it who has had it done.
the best place to go and for a cheap 14 bucks is http://davinciteam.us/index.html
they are great and will help you through it very reliable just make sure if you are not sure contact them they will talk you through the proccess
They don't have the x10 on their list. Damn, anywhere else that doesn't rip you off that might have it?
i just have my x10a from att unlocked to use with tmobile now, i got my unlock code from unlocking.com for 35 bucks i think and it took them about 10 days, it works perfect tho, i've been using on tmobile for couple of months now and i flashed so many roms and the phone still is unlocked. ah, the best thing about that site is they give you unlock code not software craps like the other do, so you might wanna try, good luck
Here you go guys north amaerica generic 2.3.4 ready to download everything works as it should I flashed it myself before uploading. Enjoy New link since megaupload is no more!

apart from extra bloatware ,and a potential '0% battery' problem , i dont think there should be any differences. (if ur phone is natively R8OOi )

Whoops, looks like I missed this topic and replied to another one instead. I'll repost here because it's more appropriate to this thread.
This release is the second release of the 2.3.4 firmware, right? I ask because I installed the Generic UK 2.3.3 firmware to my Google I/O R800a months ago and received the second 2.3.3 OTA update bringing it up to 4.0.A.2.368 about a month before the version for the North American R800a dropped. By all indications at the time, the UK firmware was getting updates out way faster.
But now this has been released and I still haven't seen anything come up for OTA or through PC Companion or SEUS. It makes me wonder if I should just flash back to the Generic North American R800a ROM with this.
Any suggestions/recommendations? Thanks!
Weird. When I plug my phone into my computer PC Companion tells me there is an update for my phone (the version that this thread is about). If I search for software update in the phone it says I am up to date. I'm on 2.3.4 now (4.0.1.A.0.283) which I believe is the UK generic version.
The .283 is the Nordic 2.3.4

There are no real differences except some different bloat apps and it will just say r800a in your about phone settings

So I've been loving this FW to death... except for one aspect.
BLOATWARE IS OFF THE ****ING CHARTS!
As if all the other expected stuff wasn't enough, now they're forcing Google Books, Video Unlimited, like 3 different "Get Games" things, LiveWare, a bunch of Facebook integrated stuff, OfficeSuite and PlayNow... and versions of Flash/Facebook/Youtube that can't be removed or moved to SD... holy ****.
Madden, Star Batallion, FIFA and Bruce Lee are also being forced... but I don't mind that much. I like all those games (still wouldn't mind having the option to move that stuff to SD).
The most annoying part is that if I uncheck Automatic Updates, it'll just re-check themselves and slam all those updates on my phone storage when I'm sleeping or something. That's pretty high up there on the "**** move"-o-meter.
Even still though... this ROM has been amazing... like 250MB free natively... 720p recording, xLoud... screen caps... but if someone could modify this ROM and kill off all that crap, I'd be in heaven.

lol I found out about the zergRush method roughly two minutes after I posted that bloatware rant.
Happily rooted, and about to tweak some things to perfection. I don't necessarily want to kill off all the bloatware... I just want it off my goddamn phone storage
IIRC, I can just go straight into the system/app folder and every apk I delete from there uninstalls the app, right? I've been on stock 2.3.3 so long I've forgotten.
Do you need an unlocked bootloader for this, or can you use it if the bootloader is still locked?

I'd like to know that as well. Trying to learn what I can/can't do with this phone compared to the other android phones I've had. Gotta figure out how to use built in tether without a tethering plan next.
