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

Just edit your own build.prop. It is a text file and you have to make only 3 replacements, using 1238-8536 as the new value.
keep in mind guys that the keyboard layout in nordic is not qwerty-en. got my device rooted now adn should be fixed in a few seconds...but still a little bit of extra dicking around
Thanks guys. Finally updated to 2.1. WOW
and where is that 3 places to change this 1238-8536 .. i am from denmark and i cant update normally
U20I updated Norwegian phone
Hi. I used a UK one from another thread. Changed the 1238 numbers.
The file attached worked for me. But use at your own risk!
have a branded telenor mini pro, found the build.prop under system and changed 3 numbers.
ro.product.name=U20i_1238-8536
ro.build.fingerprint=SEMC/U20i_1238-8536/SonyEricssonU20i/delta:1.6/1.1.A.0.8/1:user/release-keys
ro.semc.version.cust=1238-8536
Do i just copy it over the old one?

can you tell me how to change the layout?
i do these changes on my CLARO CHILE branded mini PRO and cant get the update : /
I hava a australian 3 U20a. Is it different from U20i?
Upgrade took about 30 minutes (messed up a couple of times) but now it's FW. 2.1.
Didn't see any HUGE changes, but it's more responsive, and more more stable.
Updated to 2.1 in India (Mumbai) on Vodafone on my Mini Pro. I had de-branded earlier using the -0199 CDF to th UK firmware. Thanks to the other threads, I got the build.prop changed (using Root Explorer) to the Nordic one and it upgraded seamlessly to 2.1 At the end, I had a different keyboard layout, but it was easily changed (thanks to the keyboard thread and the root exploit) and now I'm a happy camper using 2.1.
First impressions- smooth and fluid. No lag at all as compared to 1.6. The icons and dark theme enhance the fonts making them easier to read. Downloaded a couple of apps- Angry Birds, XDA app, Cnet, Techcrunch, HuffPost etc.
So, as most of us went to Nordic 2.1 x10 mini pro update I would like to get back to 1.6 (preferably to original O2 Germany version but any version will do).
I have tried editing build.prop in 2.1 to values 1239-2971 (these values were from my original build.prop in 1.6) but SE Update Service says that there is no new updates. I guess that this doesn't work anymore
So, is there any old software backup of 1.6 available for downgrade?
Try deleting the db folder in /Update Service inside your program files
That doesn't work.
I could try putting 1.6 build.prop (original one that I had before editing and updating) but I am afraid not to brick my phone.
Is this safe to do?

Don´t do this. I tried it already. Doesn´t work, and will put your phone in a boot loop.

May I ask why you want to go back to 1.6? Is there something not right with the 2.1 upgrade?
I don't have it yet and am not sure if I want to upgrade if it is so hard to downgrade.
________________________________
edit: I have found the list of issues with 2.1. I will follow this thread to find out how to downgrade if I'm not satisfied with 2.1.

I´ve paid to Davinci to downgrade to 1.6 because of the keyboard issues. I use Palm Graffiti in portrait mode and with my physical keyboard already being german, having Swedish layout on top of it was too much. Will wait for German update to be available. Otherwise no problems at all, only benefits - better battery handling in 2.1 etc.
Ok, thanks for letting me know.
It doesn't have any big problems, but as vlissine said there is this annoying thing with the keyboard. And as german update to 2.1 is coming out soon I would like to get back to original 1.6 version.
Also, I don't know is there any difference in Marketplace between countries. For example one application could be present on german version, but not on nordic.
At first glance there is not that much big of a difference so that you MUST switch to 2.1 immediately, except if the nordic version is suitable for your use.
Hm, no, I'm not planning to go nordic, I will wait for the update to come to Belgium.
u should try omnius instead of davinci. they charge per day of use rather than per flash and its cheaper

I did omnius when I unbranded my phone. This time I used Davinci just to compare. Omnius has one disadvantage - you have to chase their dealers to get credits credited onto your account while at Davinci it is straightforward and immediate.
Also charge per day might be interesting for those who want to flas a bunch of phones, not just one. But I agree omnius is cheaper and is as good as.

When Locale updates arrive, changing your build.prop to your generic one, and then using SEUS to repair your phone would do the trick. You will be changed to your local 2.1

I tried just to test to change Nordic into Russian by using this technique. Didn´t work.
I manage to downgrade to 1.6 for FREE. lol
Just download the FW for u20i NL 1.6 here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827273 and use the Flashtool from Binary's post.
Thanks zanndoth, this worked for me very well.
Unfortunally it doesn't works for me. Did al the steps (downloading flashtool etc.) but when I startup my phone I get the animating splash screen en after that a 'frozen' SE logo.... Still there after 15 minutes... Can someone help?
Ok, finally, after waiting longer, it finally works.
Thanks to you all!
Wanted to ask,
I have 2.1, using nordic build.prop method, and now the 2.1 generic UK update has been released so is it possible to replace the nordic build.prop with a generic 1.6/2.1 build.prop so it updates my phone to the UK's firmware,
any help will be appreciated
No replies?
can I just upload a UK generic 2.1 build.prop and re-update my phone?
I already try to restore my original 1.6 build.prop for have the 2.1 FR firmware, but it doesn't work : after restore, the build.prop is the same as 2.1 Nordic
sorry for my bad english, i'm french
I see, so it must be the same update then (meaning nothing different in nordic than uk) thanks for the reply
Yeah, because if you check in the build.prop, it's the same "version fs" : World 1-8 but not the same product name : E10i_1236-9436 for my 1.6 ROM and E10i_1238-0549 for 2.1
It's strange
Yeah I too Wanted To Do The Same As I Have Flashed Using Binary's Guide Nordic Firmware But now Firmware 2.1 is officially Released in My Local ( India ) What To Do Guys ?
Sent from my E10i using XDA App
First, you should check your old 1.6 and new 2.1 build.prop and compare the ro.semc.version.fs value (for me it's world-1-8)
If it's not the same, then replace your actual (2.1 nordic) build.prop by your 1.6 india. Then restore with SEUS
Hopefully this will help you

In my case, both says WORLD-1-2-5, I have upgraded from 1.6 to 2.1 using a Brasilian build.prop, now in Argentina 2.1 has been released, last night I tried to change the firmware using the OLD build.prop and it doesn't work. So I GUESS i need a updated argentinian's 2.1 build prop... again I GUESS.
What you guys can try is -
Restore your original 1.6 build.prop, (Or just change product.name, all three instances) save it and shutdown the phone (remember do not switch it on, you will stuck on SE logo forever)
Go to Sony ericsson>update service>db>some_number>blob_fs folder and delete all the files (or cut-paste them somewhere else)
Connect your phone to update service and force repair.. You will hopefully get back to your original version.
I restored my phone to original version through this method... Hopefully it will work for you too..
Hi everyone, i need some advise.
I had the global 2.1 rom on my rogers phone and it was beautiful, fast and flawless.
It did bother me i had an x10i rom on my phone, so i decided to change the codes to brazil and do the reinstall from seus to get 2.1 from brazil on my rogers phone.
This is where it went all bad, the update failed 3 times and on the forth it went through.
1. My x10 now has a few issue's, terrible signal strength, no bars in my basement. with the global rom i was getting 2 to 3 bars.
2. My wifi connects once and after the phone sleeps i need to restart the phone to get it to connect.
3. The app men u is slow, it opens fast but it takes about 7 to 8 swipes before it moves, then it sticks to where it scrolls to and again 7 to 8 swipes to get it to scroll. with the global rom the app menu was super fats no hesitation. i could go from the first app to the last very fast.
4. generally seems slower.
Here is the advice i would like to get.
1.should i reinstall the brazil rom?
2. should i go to rogers rom?
3. should i go to the global rom again?
One last thing, has anyone else had an issue with the brazilian rom?
Thanks for any tips/ advise.
i did the same with mine did not like having the 10i im not having any of your problems but I would also like to get rogers 2.1 on my phone also. but no issues with the brazil one so far.
Brazil Rom works like a charm on my x10a, I tried the nordic and the global roms but the Brazil Rom is the smoothest. Plus the app launcher doesn't lag.
I would suggest to flash the phone again through SEUS then do a factory reset for the phone and ur SD card

thanks guy's.
I'm glad to here it is not the brazil rom. i will reset and do the reinstall using seus and post back if i have any issue's.
Gota love the xda forums, everyone is so good at sharing experinces. makes it one of my favorite places to hang out and read.
im about to do this to my x10a as well, is this the correct code?
X10a CUST-BR NAM1 1234-4836 1232-4526 Customized BR/Sensuous black
Yes, that code is the right one for brazilian 2.1 generic fw.
Ok all is good now, seems that when the seus update failed it caused some issue's.
or doing the reset of the phone and sd card might have saved me.
Anyways all is good again.
Thanks

According to Sony Ericsson Product Blog page LAM firmware has been released isnt the one with code 1232-4388?
Not sure if this is a good thread for this but I couldn't really find a response. I got a White X10 from Rogers a while back. I already debranded it using Generic Latin America (I think Argentina?? it was something like xploid, I can't remember exactly). Now I want to change the region so I can update to 2.1 but I'm not exactly sure how. Someone told me to I should change it to Brazil but I didnt know how to do that using the SEUS? I have an X10a with R2BA026. When I do the lock screen code (menu, back back etc...) under Country it says Generic LAM (b) - Brand is Customized. Under software info it has Phone Software Version: 1227 - 4612_R2BA026 Generic. Not sure if all of this was helpful but I hope someone can help me I really dont know when or how I'll be able to update to 2.1 without changing the region
Not able to bring phone back to original using SEUS
I tried upgrading to 2.3 but had no SD, so tried bringing it back to 2.1 Brazil 1232-4526 edited the custom files and what not but SEUS downloads the something than says my phone is already up to date. I'm using US X10a generic 2.1 right now. any ideas? also tried using recovery image I made with xrecovery but phone boots to SE colored logo than restarts.
Hi guys.
I made the mistake of not making a proper backup of my phone before flashing a rooted version of 1.6 and would like to be able to return it to its original state before Three pushes out the 2.1 update.
Could anyone with a backup of the original 1.6 firmware of Three Australia please share their backup ?
My phone is an Xperia X10a
Thanks in advance.
PS: at the very least I will need the following files in their original form:
/system/default.prop
/system/build.prop
from another Oz 3 clients comments and my own very frustrating dealings with them I think its unlikely that they will be realeasing 2.1. I updated my x10a to the Brazilian 2.1 software a couple of weeks ago and have had no problems with the phone or using the 3 network.
I called 3 and was told that they dont do updates :-S. So you might be waiting a while.
I flashed to global generic 2.1 and my phone is perfect. Only thing is I cannot use planet 3 anymore lol

If its just rooted then simply do a master reset to restore it to its original state. If you debranded it and rooted it then just flash back using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824711, changing the id to 1234-4828.
Thank you delbuenno. Will give it a try shortly.
Update: I used code 1234-4820 to make it a generic X10a and then the SEUS updater upgraded me to 2.1 without a hitch.
