Did this really warrant a new thread? Ask your questions on which ever thread you've tried.
ya bro your right iv shouldnt open a thread for that.
i just didnt ask simple question in an opened thread cuz i had to many different questions -part of them are words ,like shortcuts that i didnt understand.
and the other reason is that i had no time i gtg soon..
nvm sorry for doing this

Post your questions and read the answers when you get back, which you might have had already had you asked them.
ok ill just ask my questions here.. first general info.
my phone is from france- and im from israel
some 1 unlocked it for me (paid for it) to work in israel.
and now- i want to update to 2.1
i dont want to wait for france update (anyways i get no benefit of that) so i undarstand that i should flash, and than somehow use 2.1 rom.
1.what is seus? is it same as pcc? how should i update my phone before flashing? *because i downloaded pcc and checked there for updates via support zone and was told that i have the lattest version (phone was mounted ) but i read that the phone should be in flash mode when u do the drivers thing(with pcc or seus idk).
2.to what version should i rebrand?
*i was reading in this forum since the nordic generic was out but now i see "Global World Firmware 2.1" etc..
3.if i flash, upgrade version or anything else..can i loose the unlock for my country? is there an easy way to do it anyway?(unlock divice to work in country X)
4. when i tried to flash i got an error, but i tried few ways (including from other forums) so now i download the file from Bin4ry and will ask about the error after i got it- for now answer me about my 3 first questions please

No, SEUS is just a program to update your phone, where as PCC can do it, but also allows you to manage your phone, to a degree, but I prefer to use SEUS.

Flashing will wipe your phone if you choose, so it's irrelevant.

No, if you unlock a phone to use any sim card it doesn't matter which country you're in.

Any errors then read the suggestions suggested on the guides.
ye bro i get u but i didnt mean that
1.i read that i need to check for avialable updates in SEUS before flash or use rom - so i dont know how to get that done (where i get SEUS?)
2. i know that ill decide - i just know nothing about that, and thats why i ask for your advice (if it doesnt matter ill just do nordic, but u get my question..)
3.it wasnt reguilar sim-free , it was unlocked to work in my country
4.yep thats what i said i will do but i just didnt understand some explanations, first i got to do the SEUS thing as was writen in the guides, so i waited till i get to that point of error (or see if i will get) and then ask..

Hi Everyone . Somedays ago I've bought Sony-Ericsson Xperia x10 mini pro used mobile from UK guy through eBay for my sister. But, it was Locked to UK Three network. so, I paid online to 2 sites for unlock it but both of them told me its IMEI was Invalid . I don't know what to do.
Help me please to unlock it.

Yea, it's same IMEI in everywhere.

I suggest you to flash some ROM, i think it will remove any SIM Locks and so one. Find ROM on development forum for your phone.
You can get a Worldwide sony ericsson Unlock Code from imeicodes.co.uk this however takes about a week to get your code, so you need to be patient. The code will work fine aslong as you havent used up your tries to enter it (just like a nokia phone). It's a good idea to check your unlock code attempts before ordering a code by doing the following:
Press menu < < menu < menu menu <
Then you can check the counter [0 or 5].
If it says 0 then you cannot enter codes.
And STOP giving your IMEI on public sites!

Thanks. but, now im trying to install custom rom to my mobile.
Thanks again for infor
This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888227is not ROM but tutorial on making new one. I'm using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059361 and it's very good. First you have to check if your Baseband Version is M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015 (Settings→Phone info (I don't remember how it exactly is in English). If not, you must use FlashTool to change it. Next, you have to root your device, install ClockWorkMod (xRecovery) and flash your new ROM.
I'm not sure if it will remove SIM Lock although it's worth of trying. Ask if you have any questions.
Sorry about my english if I wrote sth wrong

BIG thanks for Big Help. I'll try it and post here about my result. Thanks a lot guys again .
Good night. (3:25 AM here )
99% sure roms don't remove sim locks :<
Flashing a ROM has nothing to do with your SIM Lock. So no flashing will magically unlock your device. You need to get the proper unlock code, or have someone with a unlock dongle to do it.

Sure if you got more tries to use with correct unlock code you still can do that.
Else you can get it unlocked via dongle.

I guess "your ROM" still needs some work before you can release it
You are lucky some people here like to help others with less knowledge.
There are tons of threads teaching how to fix a "bricked" phone but instead of searching your problem you preferred making a thread and cry for help. I don't have a problem with that, people are here to help.. I just think you should be more humble.
I have an advice for you, don't take it the wrong way, i'm really trying to help you: don't release more "personal ROMs"
Take care
Next time you can try using google instead or the search tool on xda. Those will get you plenty of info on how to fix your phone.
Dear OP, if you didn't notice yet, Development forums are not meant for your Questions/help issue.
Next time, please, pay more attention, is the second thread from you that i'm closing, there will be not a third.
Hi guys, As you all know ICS is being released, Apparently my SI no. hasn't got the update yet, I really am losing my patience and want to manually update to ICS using the French ST25i firmware.
Now, coming to my question. I want to manually Update my XU ST25i GB to ICS. I want to know how it is to be done, IN A NOOB FRIENDLY WAY .
A step by step method would really help guys. I'm aware that if I update this way, It technically isn't ROOTING. ( Right?? ) (I havent unlocked my Bootloader and I prefer to keep it that way coz of future updates from Sony) . And one more thing, If I do this, Will I be able to still get official updates from Sony? ( i.e From SUS or PCC ).
Please help a fellow member! :highfive:

Its not rooting. It is just flashing a new official ROM. Here is the more stable ST25a Australian ROM with full instructions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1916419
THe french ST25i ROM is a little laggy. I own ST25i phone and I just flashed with the Australian ROM. It is just fine. Do read the instructions properly before flashing.

and yes u need to install the flashtool drivers as well.....sorry i missed that!
Hi,
i had an issue with the touchscreen of my xperia u, so i gave it in to be fixed. When i got it back, they had replaced my ICS with a gingerbread rom. Weirdly, there were some french bloatware apps on the phone, which werent there before, even when i had gingerbread. After getting the phone i tried to update back to ICS, but both pc companion and sony update says, i have the latest software. It's ridiculous becuase i was apble to update the same phone to ICS 6 months ago. I'm running out of options, i dont want to root my phone, so has anyone got any ideas.
i looked everywhere but i couldnt find someone who was experiencing quite the same problem. I live in SRI LANKA. is the issue with the french rom. Any help would be appreciated.

Any ways I want to try the ta backup, and then root with pie but it will take like 15 hours for me download the ftf.. Thanks
Wanted to do the same but poor knowledge on Sony (coming from HTC).
And even by reading and reading I did not find a step by step which will avoid risk to brick or loose photo or others stuff.
As I am photoholic, I cannot afford to loose DRM and so.
Good luck bro and share your success

There are two ways to do it, one is with flashtool with xperiafirm, http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php .. There are a few guides on how to use it no need to unlock your bootloader as your flashing stock firmware.
You can also Newsflasher ( read here.. https://www.google.com/amp/s/forum....-newflasher-xperia-command-line-t3619426/amp/ )
I used this today as I wanted to try it out and it was really easy to use.. I used this pdf guide by munted ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...-exploits-temp-root-to-backup-t3795510/page39 , second post) as I was playing around.. Till I hit an issues with adb.. grr but in the guide there is a quick and easy guide with pictures to flash the ftf. download Xperiafirm ( https://xperifirm-tool.en.lo4d.com.) to download the ftf... If you have any questions shout as I used it today to reflash mine back back and all is fine..
