Yes, bring your phone and warranty card to any of the Service Centre and they will upgrade your phone to Android 2.1.

if i wanna DIY
will i have to debrand it?
It is easier than you think
It is easier than you think...to update
I have...well had ... a singapore x10i ....
1. use one root apk ... X10Root 1.0.8
one root apk
2. back up using Titanium ( but people have lost hundreds of contacts having upgraded )or better...sync your contacts and calendar events with google ...its what i did
3. use root explorer to "debrand" ... which is really changing the product codes
uh.... well this then defeats the waiting for updates... I live in the West Indies / Caribbean... so debranding is not an issue at all
4. if your still following me...you will need to debrand twice..one to upgrade to 026 ... then again to get to 2.1
All this is done without having to actually "flash your phone" or use "roms" or " flash tools " .... safest method if your really dying to get to 2.1...I was

Hi XDAnians,
I'm new to Android, being a previous WinMobo user I need some help.
I just purchased a White Xperia x10i through ebay.
The phone comes with chinese firmware from Hong Kong.
I would like to change it to Australia Optus latest firmware branded or un-branded i don't really care, as long as it has everything in english.
Currently running;
Firmware: 1.6
Baseband: 1.1.31
Kernel: 2.6.29-rel
Build: R2BA026
Can anyone direct me to the ROM / Firmware download suitable.
Any help would be really appreciated!!!
Thanks heaps.
Check out the decrypted roms thread.

Just use the latest ROOT method and you will get the newest firmware
The simplest way to get onto the optus branded firmware is to signup @ www.omnius-server.com download omnius flash tool from here.
and download the optus .16 firmware from here. (Both links came from the omnius site in case they dont work when you click them).
Then use omnius to flash the phone.
Once completed, you can updated to the latest .26 firmware via SEUS or PC Companion.
You now have a fully branded optus X10. Should you want to root the phone, download the exploid package from the xda forums and root the phone from there.
Have done this a few times now for people that used the unbranded roms and wanted to go back to stock.
Works well and is nice and fast once you have all the files.

Well like u, being sick of the football icon, I was sick of the chinese stuff lol I didn't know what was going on! (Figure of speech) haha
Optus firmware was easier to setup. I did this mainly test the difference in firware and the android limitations.
Turns out, they're the same. LoL back to good old drawing board.

I myself had the same issue with the optus firmware. I like being on the branded firmware for the time when they will release the next update.
If you root using exploid, you can then install titanium backup and freeze the football app, moxier mail and anything else thats annoying you.
So now I still have the official optus branded firmware, but without the extra crap I'll never use.
Would one click exploit work? Cant we just uninstall moxier etc. . .
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Because moxier is a system application you need root to be able to have read/write acces. Thus allowing removal of system apps.
I run the Optus branded software and have removed the football app etc. Just open Titanium Backup go to preferences and select chuck norris mode it should delete fine after that.
Yeah but your phones locked to optus. try sticking a telstra sim in it and see what happens.
mine's running a uk branded firmware because i know australia will be a few months behind europe for the 2.1 update.
on a side note, i was playing around with a desire today but i still can't understand what people get so excited about - lags, browser freezes, full of plastic. this thing really is a cheap piece of tawainese crap. give me the x10 any day (and i only have the mini).
Will the optus firmware update to 026? or will we be stuck on a later version.
I want to go back to optus firmware for the usage app etc and then root it (I believe that is possible now) but if i'm still stuck on an older version, I'll stay on the generic and update to 026.

You'll notice from the guide I posted on the first page that I stated to update the phone once back on branded firmware.
You will not be stuck on a certain revision and your phone will continue to recieve optus OTA's etc as they become available.
The reason I say to use the exploid method to root is it doesn't matter if you update at some stage you simply reinstall/rerun the same app and BOOM rooted phone again.
So to summarise....
Yes you can root your optus firmare
Yes you can upgrade on rooted optus firmware
No you will not be stuck on a certain firmware revision.
Hi, I've seen so many threads now on this that I'm kind of confused. Can anyone tell me exactly what I need to do to update to 2.1? My phone is a X10a 1.6 on Rogers network in Canada.
Apparently rogers is releasing 2.1 tomorrow so unless u want to root just wait until Friday
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
Where did you get that info?
Waiting is the easiest thing. We're potentially so close to the update, you'd have to have a major issue to update with 'unsupported by Rogers' firmware at this point...IMO.
I suppose your right, if the update is in fact tomorrow then there really isn't a point in me doin anything but waiting. I just thought it would take rogers awhile to send out the update, Canada never usually gets anything else the world gets very quickly.

It's really hard to resist I know...up to you. There are tons of threads on it...no one that's done it seems to regret the decision but for me I have nothing wrong with my phone now...so i can wait
I don't believe that it will come out on Friday. I only hope. I have decided that I will do the root explorer method and change the code to Brazil generic unbranded x10a then do the update through pc companion if it does not come out byssunday. Very easy and simple method.
hi i need little clarification
so to flash 2.1 on your phone you need to root your phone first??

To flash to another country's verions of 2.1 yes, you'd need to root it first, debrand it second and then flash the update.
To install the update from Rogers you wouldn't need to do any of that.
Well you can root your phone with one click root or what ever the bleep its called and then install root explorer from the market or 4 shared and then open system folder then edit default.prop file and edit the country codes. There is another thread on that.
Then do update through pc companion (this is the same software that you will do update with once Rogers releases the update) all you are doing by editing the country code with root explorer is tricking pc companion into thinking you have a debranded Brazilian phone. After you do update it will not be rooted anymore cause the update wipes your phone clean.

WRONG. You don't need to be unlocked OR rooted OR debranded.
Once you put the phone into flash mode, you can flash any signed (official Sony) ROM, including the Global & Nordic generic ROMs (v2.1).
The bootloader hasn't been cracked so there are no custom ROMs (hence no 2.2) but official ROMs from around the world can still be used.
I flash my Rogers X10a a few hours after Nordic was released and a 2nd X10a once global came out. The only issue is that the Rogers APN information has to be entered in manually for 3G/3.5G/HSPA data.
Or you can do a flash but many ppl are scared to go that route as it requires a bit more effort.
My bad. I didn't key into flash part. Listen to the guy with two phones!
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.

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.
Hello, I have an X10 I got from 3 in Australia, it is unlocked and I now use the Optus Network on prepay. The phone uses the Android 1.6 software but from what I understand there is a 2.1 or 2.2 update available.
I'm quite keen to first debrand the 3 phone as I find that I can't use any of the Android features with this network like Maps, YouTube Gmail etc from the icons as they just get a network error. I can manually browse the internet but not use the icons. I can use it when I use 3 network. I took it to Optus but they said it's because it has the 3 branding that they can't help me and I need to debrand it or contact SE.
So I would like to debrand the phone and then update it to the latest software but I'm not sure where to start. I'm not a developer so I need a simple and easy to follow tutorial if there is one.
Start by reading this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825675
Get the flash tool from here and flash your phone
Also suggest rooting your phone, which you can find here
You'll find plenty of resources. If you need more help search the forum and you'll find plenty of answers. Don't worry, you don't need an engineering degree for this. Just follow the instructions.
Good luck.
thanks but the first 2 links go to similar page and they post say this in the first few lines:
"(old 1.6 Firmware can not be flashed with this at the moment)."
My phone still has 1.6

Which means you can't flash 1.6 FW with it. Read the thread again as that will debrand and update you at the same time.
I'm finding it all to be very confusing. I wonder if I can get it flashed and debranded in a mobile store or something?

Same guy this is just about the flasher. Also, in that thread is the link to non-GUI version, some people find it easier to use.
The original flash tool only had 2.1 Nordic (X10i), 1st released and was described from that point of view.
Now there are ROMs for X10i, X10a, most 2.1 generic, some 1.6. The original descriptions have not been fully updated to reflect all.

hey man, its really quite easy. where in aussie are ya? if you are in newy, i'd be happy to help out
otherwise, back everything up that you want to keep (mostly contacts and pics). If you download z4root and titanium backup you can backup any apps that you have installed/bought also!
use the Binary flash tool to install 2.1 over the top of your 1.6 - it does not matter what version you have using Binarys installer - it just works
Then once 2.1 is installed and up and running, then you setup the market and download z4root (click the app to root your phone), titanium backup (to remove any crappy apps u dont want + schedule backups of the ones that u wanna keep).
Hope that all makes sense
Hi
A newbie could use some serious help. I have an Xperia X10 2010 model that came up with Android 1.6 which I upgraded to 2.1 last year.
Contract over, got it network unlocked. Now, I was able to remove all gmail acounts except for the one associated with Android. Since I need to pass on this phone to family, I need to get rid of that main account.
If Restoring Factory Settings is an option, I can't use it since it'll throw me back to Android 1.6 and checking for an available android update needs a network to be active.
So here I am, want to remove that one bloody account. And upgrade the device to a faster Android version (2.1 is outdated, slow and sucks big time).
I'd be really thankful to get any kind of hel on this one.
Best
SM
Go to the sony mobile website, download the update centre software and install it, after that plug in your phone and follow the on screen instructions.
could you just use flashtool to flash the generic stock 2.3.3 or 2.1 ROM.
that'll quickly fix your problem
or download over wifi?

So the Falshtool should remove my associated account? And since I have 2.1 currently, flashing would persist the version. Android 2.1 and alter, which one is the most stable version for this model?

A factory reset will not send you back to 1.6 it would factory reset the 2.1. Use this link to get 2.3 and don't this will also remove your google account from the phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=

The latest official version is 2.3.3.
U hv unlocked the network. Doesn't mean u don't hv an active network. It means u can use any service provider's sim in ur phone. Also, I don't think a sim needs to be in the phone to update it.
And factory reset will only reset the settings to the ones which are default in current android version. The settings in ur actual settings menu. eg.: ur accounts, ringtone, display brightness, that kinda stuff. No changes are made to the firmware.
Upgrade to 2.3.3 instead btw. Don't bother staying on 2.1.. use sony PC companion. Connect the phone, start PC companion. It'll tell u by itself there's an update available. Follow the steps.. don't setup an account when it switches on after update. Pass it on to ur family
