I'm not 100% sure but I don't think a Rogers branded fw for the x10a was ever uploaded to XDA.
Edit: davinciteam should work too -- man it's been a while since I used that... I used to have a w650 a w800 a w850 and a w900 at different points. Haha.
The newest flasher from bin4ry doesn't work with version 1.6 as far as I know, so you'd have to use the old flasher (from those root packages you have) to flash it.
Unless someone can link to the OEM Rogers fw, your best bet is to go for the debranded one you mentioned in your post, with the older flasher from the root packages.
dude, I replaced mine, sent it back with generic 026, Rogers didn't say a word, I wouldn't stress about it.

Make sure you have download the WWE_R1FA014 for X10a from post # 2 in the following link, and flash it to your x10a with flash tool.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683793
Once that done, connect your x10a with SEUS and perform an update. SEUS should update your Rogers X10a to the latest Roger's firmware version.

Oh thats a good point too. I forgot about that. Evil evil SEUS.
I'm in a similar situation here, my USB connector broke and i need to send it back in. I'm on build 023 and i've also rooted my phone too, i know that voids the warranty for sure. What do you think?
which flash tool and firmware files needed to restore photo to original x10a rogers 1.6 from nordic 2.1 x10i ?
didn't like 2.1 so want to restore my rogers x10a, anyway ?

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.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
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.

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.

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!
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.

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 All,
I've recently purchased an X10 and while its quite a nice phone, I'm sure it would be a hell of a lot nicer if it was running 2.1 - some things which are "missing" in 1.6 have started to annoy me haha.
To this end, it would appear Telstra are about the slowest telco on the planet to release an update. My current firmware is as follows:
X10a
Country: Australia, Brand: Telstra
Phone Software Version: 1227-4612_R2BA023 GENERIC
I understand that if I follow a tutorial such as the "Debrand your Xperia X10 [Tutorial]" on xperiax10.net (google finds it, I'm not allowed to link yet sorry!) and debrand it, SEUS will then automatically update my phone to 2.1 next time I try to update.
Can anyone tell me what is a good X10a firmware for use in Australia? Note that it needs to be X10a since I use an 850MHz "nextg" network. The list on the link above appears to give me a rather limited set of choices, none of which sound generic or australian (what makes latin america latin america??).
If anyone could give me some hints that would be most apprecitated!
Thanks,
Tom

Tom, I had exactly the same issue with Telstra. My brother is with Optus and had his months ago. I finally cracked it and de-branded my phone, installed 2.1 and it all went fine. Trust me its worth it. Then i rooted it and have'nt looked back... goo luck mate
Hi,
Thanks for the advice! I followed the tutorial and updated to 504, then flashed again to .24, however on both of these my bluetooth does not work :-/ Windows 7 shows nothing in the services menu and the phone seems to pair with devices but never connect. Also the .24 ROM available appears to have been a X10i ROM, this doesn't seem to have mattered though as 850MHz HSDPA still seems to work.
Any thoughts on fixing bluetooth?
I haven't installed the rooted version btw and I'm not quite sure what xrecovery does? Thanks!!
Fixed BT - turns out it didn't like to talk to my MacBookPro on Windows - updating Boot Camp drivers to 3.2 fixed that.
As for xrecovery, what does it do? And how does one root 0.24?
Thanks for the help!

U probably used the wrong baseband.... if u check it will probably say baseball unknown.... but to be sure we need. More info on what u did and how u tried to do it.
In any case u should just flash a 2. 1 firmware with flashtool and if that doesn't fix ur problem then repair with sues.

Thanks man, I used the baseband that came with the 015 of 2.3.2 gingerbread. My phone says X10A, but the drivers X10I.
If I cant get it going soon I will try 2.1
Could the baseband that came the rom be the wrong one? Ive also updated to 016.
thx
To ensure it works first flash your phone to either the 54 or 55 baseband, then flash the Rom.
I am quite sure that flashing a Rom will not change your baseband, so check the start of the Rom thread for which baseband is required to run the Rom.

The phone has .54 baseband. I've tried 2.1_2_1_A_0_435_GLOBAL and that doesn't work either...
What do I need to do exactly to get any rom to work with my network? If someone could take a few minutes to help, It would be greatly appreciated.
well as you need the phone urgently, id connect it to SEUS and repair back to the original SE firmware, that way you should be able to make your calls to NZ, you can then fiddle around with Roms once youve covered your emergency.
