So Rogers X10a Users, did you guys get your update yet? Also does anyone know how to update the X10a to 2.1? Thanks
I plugged my phone to SEUS yesterday night and it said phone was up-to-date

Pretty sure you can just follow what was posted in other threads.
My phone is orginally from rogers but I unlocked it and activated it with Telus. I just followed the steps for the Nordic 2.1.
Rogers is supposedly releasing the official update next week: http://mobilesyrup.com/2010/11/02/s...to-os-2-1-available-the-week-of-november-8th/
That said, why wait?
Video of a Rogers X10a getting upgraded in <10 minutes.
lol i honestly don't see the rush anymore. after reading through all the fails and bugs i'll take my time with my 1.6 to update until more general fixes and stuff get released by sony

Thanks for the response guys. Also I am with goothu99 on this one. When the 020 023 026 firmwares came out in the summer i was one of the first and on the way I hit some bugs and snags here and there. Looks like the 2.1 is solid but i guess i wait a bit more. If not released next week what the heck I just use the global one that's posted.
Looks like Canada is getting the update Nov. 8th.
Rogers sent me a replacement x10, cause mine had something wrong with it... Just got it today, but I'm going to wait till the update comes to use it...fresh start
I'm using the X10i version and it works fine ...
And i hope we will find a Generic version of X10 somewhere as i don't want a version "customized" with Rogers bloatware.

I did the upgrade on my rogers handset here in the GTA and had no issues. rooted and all is well.. calls are perfect, all functions are just great.
I think I'm going to wait it out till next week, and if they don't release by then, I'll use these methods

Rogers 2.1 Upgrade
I don't see it being release in the next week or so.
I just upgrade 2 X10s on Rogers with the Nordic firmware with very little issue.
The issues I did find are APN will NOT setup, it looks like it will download, but it will NOT. The work around is backup the APN's before upgraded, then added internet.com apn address
Name: Rogers
APN: internet.com
Username: wapuser1
Password: wap
after this, you will have mobile internet access.
Second issue: The mobile backup will not work for the contact list. (you can backup using 1.6 but it will not restore in 2.1)
To backup your phone book, in 1.6 Open the phonebook app. press the left button, select backup contacts (maybe under More)
save them to the memory card.
After you upgrade, do the same thing and click on import contacts
select Memory card, select phone contact. Then your contacts will be restored
I don't recommend restoring the system settings but you can.
Wifi: working
mobile internet: working (after adding internet.com apn)
Camera: working and HD
Phone: working
Speed: MUCH faster
RAM: more available.
ROOT access: still testing.
NORDIC vs GENERIC
Hello,
been doing a lot of reading but i'm not clear on why go with Nordic vs Generic.
I have a Rogers X10a ... should I go with the NORDIC or GENERIC(GLOBAL) 2.1 FW ?
thanks!
Fadi
Just go with the x10a update that will be released tomorrow or monday
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
Upgraded to 2.1 global version, added rogers apn settings, rooted, used optimizer v2, rerooted and it is ... as the family guy would say ... fricken sweet. Everything is working great. Thanks to all the experts out there for the firmwares and tools.

not sure if this belongs here but i bought a tmobile 3g streak and i love it so far. it's running firmware 1.6 baseband gausb1a111100-aws with kernel 2.6.29-perf build number 6267. my question is that i see everyone talking about build number 4917 and i was wondering if i'm running an updated version since i can't install this build.
another question is all my mms come in small, i've tried changing the settings to no avail. if i send them using a diff sms program , chomp, they go out at decent size but return small so i'm guessing the ua string is what i have to change but i;m not sure how to do that. any suggestions.
ps dell streak rocks!
explain to us how you happened to get a "t-mobile version" of the streak, when it hasn't even been released yet in the usa. and the uk one doesn't support t-mobile 3g either, i could be wrong there. Just curious.
Please can you clarify if you are in the US or UK
In UK the streak is exclusive to O2 and direct buy from Dell which is unlocked.
So how did you manage to pick one up with T-Mobile???
Yup, thought tmobile wasnt supported on streak

For those of you who didn't know... Dell did have T-Mobile 3G USA versions of the device in beta testing along with AT&T 3G compatible devices.
There were a few of them on eBay at one point. All gone now though...

he's right, i bought mine on ebay and made absolutely sure it would work with tmobiles 3g bands before the purchase. since it works with tmobile on this side of the pond i'm guessing it's a us version.
if someone can tell me how to get a copy of the build i can upload it. i have not yet rooted but will soon. also any ideas why i get the small mms downloads??
thanks guys.
also, i put up screenshots on this other forum of the firmware and such. here's the link

I can attest to this as I bought one locally thinking it was an AT&T beta but turns out it was a T-Mobile test unit. I sold it to another local buyer who is on WIND Mobile in Canada which also runs on 1700/2100 UMTS/AWS. We tested it with his sim card and it worked perfectly fine including 3G data.

hi,
planning on buying an unlocked version from Dell direct once the firmware update is out. Was wondering on your t-mobile streak, do you get the H icon for HSDPA?
What data speeds are you getting? and is your MMS working ok?
thanks.
In avg I get 2000 down and 700 up, not bad id say. My mms works but the pictures come in very small about 5kb in size. Very frustrating. If anyone has any suggestions if greatly appreciate it.
Ps I'm in chicago

In chicago also, the same for me...I have worked on trying to get bigger MMS, but no luck so far. I remember we had the same problem with the HD2 EU version when it came out. I have tried some of the things i learned from that. I am sure there will be a solution soon.

having the small mms problem always happen to me when i get a phone from the uk and use it on tmobile. it's such a pain in the ass. what does it matter what the ua string or whatever is as. almost all phones nowadays are able to get pics way bigger than 5kb which is why it was imposed on from the beginning. really annoyed at tmobiles stupidity. great service but stupid mms issues.

I tried searching, but the only similar thread I found was one about x10i being used on Wind. Not sure if its the same though...
I'm flying to China and HK next month and was wondering if 3g would work there if I bring over an unlocked x10a. I flashed it to Nordic x10i for the 2.1 update, but I am assuming the bands is a hardware issue.
If it known to not work I'm just going to leave my phone in Canada and bring over another phone.
Thanks!

Did you follow the original instructions to re-put the sim in an unlocked phone with all data and 3g turned off? The rebelsim only communicates with the phone to trick it into thinking it has the correct sim, apps shouldn't interfere at all?? There was a problem with the old v1.1 due to the baseband being incompatible which caused no 3g/data and some call problems (same problem now when upgrading to 2.2). I'm waiting for my programmer to arrive then i will try it out

I dont think you can coz theres no UI or anything to check, i would run the update and try coz if it isnt 1.3 then you can always easily update the rebelsim after froyo using v1.2 doesnt interfere it just doesnt work

Upgraded and now I wont get to go on any network. So it means I need a proper programmer or get an unlock code.

You can flash straight back to o2 2.1 8105. Oh dear, what programmer did you try? I tried researching and found out it needs to be a pkey thats iso compatable.

Strange stuff here!!! Long story short, I got an O2 locked 2.1 (6941) Streak. It was working perfectly fine with my Rebel SIM. Voice, 3G, everything. I upgraded to DJ Steve's 1.1.x, official Froyo and then to 1.1.4. As expected, the Rebel SIM stopped working with the start of these upgrades.
A couple of days ago, I put my non-O2 SIM in an old unlocked 2G phone. Made a few calls, sent a couple of messages and left it at that. A few hours later, I put the SIM along with the Rebel SIM in my O2 (Now on official 2.2) and I had a working signal!! I could only make calls and send messages. Couldn't receive any. No data either. No 2G, forget about 3G! Figured it was expected, and left it at that.
Upgraded to 1.1.4 yesterday. After resetting and rebooting and everything, I put the non-O2 SIM + RebelSIM back into the Streak. The non-O2 SIM had been in an unlocked phone for a while before this. As expected, I got a signal. Just for the heck of it, I put the APN settings again. They had gone after the reset and upgrade. Turned off wifi, and I've got working 3G!!!! Of course, if I loose the signal or reboot, I loose signal and don't get it back till I do a SIM shuffle, but the point is, it's working!! Getting some good speeds via 3G, so I know it's definitely working!
This gives me hope that the 1.3 firmware for the RebelSIM might give us a proper working connection. Yeah, my RebelSIM isn't on 1.3 beta! It's probably still on 1.2 like when I first got it! Going to order a Rebel SIM programmer now!

So after reading through all the posts about flashing my phone to ics from droidstyle's post, i ended up trying to flash my phone from 2.3.5 (which I was not able to update normally by my crappy carrier) to one of the ics roms. Which ended up giving me zero 3g access. My question is are their specific files i can pull from a working Showcase with the latest carrier supported os, to put on my phone after i flash it to ics to get it to access 3g again? My problem is all these roms and what not tend to be based off verizons phone the fascinate. Which as far as i can tell are almost identiacal except a few differences. I dont have verizon as my carrier but a little kansas based one called nex-tech.
there is a 3g data fix.zip floating around here somewhere in this section...thats what u need.
*edit found it

most likely you will have to call your carrier and have them do a esn swap or activate a old phone on your line then switch back.
I went down to the office and they did a swap of a phone they had in the building. No luck what so ever. My girl friend and i have the same exact phone, minus a small hardware update between them. Ive completely erased all of my phone and flashed a generic showcase rom and updated through their website. They programmed it and all that jazz but no luck...

firmware version 2.3.5
Baseband version S:i500.05 K.EI20
Biuld number SCH-I500.EI20
If u need any other info im happy to do anything to get this damned 3g back

I'm not trying to offend you, but Samsung created it for Verizon network...you might be able to program it to work on another, but you might not...idk
DROID DOES, Apple did...like I forgot when
Well the phone is a Nex-tech phone, that is where i bought it from. That is the local cell phone provider here. Its worked flawlessly rooted for almost 6 months. Then i decided to try and get ics on it and followed the guide droid so awesomely wrote up for everyone. It didnt work so well for me, because Nex-tech is some random generic cdma cellphone provider.

I had a Sprint Epic for a brief time but live in an area where it was using Nex-tech's towers since Nex-tech is part of Sprint's roaming alliance. I was running custom Froyo roms from XDA because there was no official Froyo release at the time. After a few months it had the same problem with losing 3G. I spent two hours on it with Sprint's tech support and never got it to work again. They even sent me a refurbed phone and it failed right out of the box. They wanted me to drive to the nearest store to have them activate it, which was 1 1/2 hours away when it should have been able to activate thru Nextech's system. Needless to say I ate the ETF and got a Fascinate.
My theory is Nextech has some kind of black list that shuts off data on phones it thinks are roaming for an excessive amount of time. Maybe switching to an ICS Rom designed for the Fascinate might have triggered that.
Good luck with getting it working. The main thing that keeps me from going back to Nextech is their lame tech support and huge repair times instead of refurbished swapouts. I keep hoping when Nextech's contract with Sprint is up next year maybe Sprint will come out here.

Is there something i did wrong? I updated it with Kies, what can i do to downgrade back to the old firmware if i get tired of this roaming business?

I am not sure, but its funny my friend has the BLUE i9300 bought 3 weeks after mine, and he was not getting a notification of the update via kies either, but it did give it to me and my phone the exact day it was out (uk firmware).
about changing the modem, will I need to root for that? i prefer to run stock for now..
that's bizarre but it probably has something to do with the phone being an internation model with a uk csc, but i've used my S1 from the uk several times in the u.s. with t-mobile and never had that problem .....can only assume it is a bug

Yea becuase when the phone arrived it worked great (even had a minor firmware upgrade the day i opened which was like june 15th ish or a few days later) and still worked great, no Roaming at all, then with last weeks update now it roams
It's worth pointing out that changing the modem will not work as a valid solution in this case. If one uses a non-LFB modem with the LFB ROM, the mic doesn't get used. One would have to also go to an older rom in addition to a different modem.
I'm having the same exact issue.
Need a solution.
Tried a factory reset. No dice.
Hi guys,
Didn`t find answer for my questions, so decided to link myself to similar topic.
Since the SW update I have done today my phone doesn`t lock to a network
When I go to settings to find a carrier manually, It takes about 2 minutes to find 4-5 networks available around, I am picking o2 UK (as I have a contract with them) and it says : Registering to o2 UK which takes about 4 minutes. After this it says : Emergency calls only and there is no status bars at all.
Master reset didn`t help.
What steps should I take ?
For you reference :
- Phone took from CPW in UK as sim free
- SIM Card used is from o2 UK (contract)
- I don`t want to flash anything, I would like to stay to stock ROM (if possible)
UPDATE : Chosen `Select Automaticly` allowed the phone to find signal, could make a call etc, but after 30 minutes lost signal again....

U Using it in india? Which network u using?
Any updates?
I did find out that the CSC that was applied by default was KOR. I went in and changed this to BTU using *#272*imei#, but still did not solve the issue.
Wondering if a repartition would help?

If u do not wish to root then your only option is to take it back to the store, so they can fix, u bought the best smart phone available on the market and u can't make phone calls or browse internet(without wifi).
To my understanding, still no resolution on this..
My friends phone after being updated (he just got his first update after having the phone a month) is now roaming as well.. So this is definately something either with our network (t-mobile) or the recent updates.
I've just started living with it, but it sucks becuase it does silly things like makes me click 'download image' when someone sends me a picture message in text...
with the few bugs could be ironed out of this phone kinda frustrating.
I do have similar problems since I installed an update 2 weeks ago. at home the phone says it is roaming at work approx 6 miles away and with a different station I am connecting to it is fine.

Thats interesting, no matter where I go i get roaming. Though a few times I have gotten the 'roaming' warning popped up, so maybe i went out of roaming and didnt know it? I'll keep a closer eye on it.
It is very frustrating and annoying. I've called T-Mobile and they said they would open a case with Samsung. If you guys could call too, we might get a fix.
I really suspect it is something in the CSC. Maybe if we could get the T Mobile SIII CSC and apply it?

My suspicion is wrong. I pulled the TMB CSC from a T999 ROM and manually copied it to /system/csc/TMB, then used the CSC Selector App to change to TMB.
No dice. Still in Roaming.
