CAN FINALLY CONFIRM THE UPDATE IS AVAILABLE IN THE UK.
I de-branded my phone to the generic CDF, SEUS said i had the latest update, when i clicked reinstall in downloaded the new update and now I have android 2.1
enjoy all owners
Yes, I've just checked and have the update message checking OTA manually - but it says i must use a computer to update my phone.
My 1.6
ro.product.name=U20i_1238-0199
ro.semc.version.cust=1238-0199
ro.semc.version.cust_revision=R3A
However PCC and SEUS both say I have the latest software installed and I've uninstalled and reinstalled both of these... hmmm

thats the exact CDF number i used to update.
I used SEUS - it said I had the latest update but I reinstalled the update anyway, turned out to be 2.1
Have a Voda branded phone and have been putting off the debranding until 2.1 came out. Can't wait any longer but having a lot of difficulty locating the generic UK firmware. Can anybody provide a link? Much appreciated!
I have a mini pro with 3UK - I've tried SEUS and the phone updates and still telling me I have the latest version
I have
ro.semc.version.cust_revision=R7A
ro.product.name=u20i_1238-1760
ro.semc.version.cust=1238-1760
still no joy - and i dont fancy killing my phone off
any suggestions?

all you do is this, what I will say is first install busybox onto your phone for it to work.

Downloading right now update for xperia mini, I was not aware it was going to be released today, hope its goods anyways, keep you posted when it finishes
Heh really what version would this be? Hows the progress?
Sent using x10 mini pro
50% this are the times I wish I had a 2gigabit connection :/
done
Software version: 2.1-update1
dont know whats new, no intro as past update was shown on startup...
ahh.. phone unrooted, z4root not working stuck on running exploit screen.
How did you update?
Through wireless or through cable with a pc software like the pc companion?
Did the phone tell about the update when you searched for update?
Please I need to know!
pc companion... software on pc alerted of the update when I conected the phone, tried to search for an update from the phone but it told me it was up to date.
got to see about the availability of an update when I connected my mini to my PC and the PC Companion opened up.Went for the update that took such a long time to complete.I see virtually nothing new or beneficial in the few hours gone by.Oh-I lost the ability to root the phone,Z4 doesn't work anymore.
Didn't find any update not even with pc companion
:-/
same here .. there was no prompt when i plugged in the mini pro.
when i opened PC Companion, it says that I already up the latest update.
I'm usually pretty quick on the updates but this one looks like one to avoid until we can sort out the root issue..
I noticed they already have a solution for the Big X10 by installing a pre Rooted version of the update with xRecovery.. any solution like this available for the mini/pro yet?
All in good time I guess.. someone is probably making a Pre rooted, pre JIT'ed pre Gingerbread themed xRecovery zip file with the new firmware as I type this
fingers crossed..
I'm sorry....
Your stock album is now fast?
Because the first 2.1 stock album is very slow.....
I think that you can't extract for us... But....
Me too updated my mini and now unable to root. How to get back to previous one?
I could be mistaken, but i think x10flasher root method still works.
Downloaded 2.1-update1 (as it says on my phone) on the 24th, almost certain its the unrootable version u guys seem to be talking about, as z4root which worked for my 1.6, couldnt unroot this version(i also thought it was root patched)
Long story short, was messing around with it, tried the X10flasher 2.1 root method, hey presto rooted phone. So give it a shot, wont hurt, and if im right, still a viable root method for 2.1.
Here's the link

If im wrong, sorry for bringing hopes up.

It just looks like the Big X10flash GUI's "Root" option just installs Z4root onto the phone in which case it should be no different from just trying to use Z4root to root without the Flashtool... unless Bin4ry just has a different version of Z4root that works on the new firmware? (easy enough for someone having issues rooting with the new update to download his Flash tool and grab the Z4root version he uses out of it to try.. I don't hold high hopes tho, you can always use his flashtool to flash back to the old 2.1 and not update with SE until the root issue is sorted)
(also, I haven't updated my phone in weeks and it say's its running "2.1-update 1" so its possible you are still on the older rootable version, and it was just the version of Z4root you were using wasn't compatible with 2.1, lest hope I am wrong tho cause it would be great if this works!! )
Got the update. It killed my root and apparently my market? Any attempts to start Market crash immediately.
The new 2.1 update 1 is ver. 2.0.2.A.0.24
This is the one i got 24dec. in denmark, and this one wont root with z4root.
Still waithing for this to be fixed
is there any way to root it again?
I have a rooted X10i with BB.67 and TripNMiui GB installed.
I would like to install the stock 2.1 from SE, but every time I try to repair the phone via either 'SE update service' or ' SE PC companion', it comes up with the message that there is no new software available, or that I am already running the latest software.
Can anybody please point me in the right direction, how to get the phone back to stock 2.1??
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
seus should have an option to reinstall if it tells u no new software available.

problem already soled by flashing with nordic rom.
Thanks anyhow
@brclho: I had the same problem a while ago, and found that SEUS didn't have that option anymore.... I think they removed it...
Had to repair my phone via Flashtool, which worked great....

My phone received OTA update few days ago to 2.3.6. I installed it , everything went ok . But after update my kies is telling me that phone would not be updated anymore.
your device does not support software upgrading via kies
I9100XWKK2/I9100LUXKJ1/I9100XXKI4/I9100XWKK2
(product code I9100LKALUX , phone is not locked to the operator )
Previously on this place i could see my version and latest version available.
I never rooted my phone, any updates I did were via KIES. It was first time I did OTA update.
Did anyone had similar problems? Any recommendations on solution?
thanks a lot in advance
Sem
I tried to find similar problem on the forum but so far without any luck.
What csc are you on?

Sorry I'm new here
Where can I check this ?
I always stayed on official updates and didn't use anything else than kies to update.
Sorry just realised it's LUX

Hi,
I've got the same problem (it's not really a problem yet) as you. I've applied the OTA-update and I'm getting the same message in KIES (I have the same CSC).
If it won't be possible to update my phone via KIES in the future, I guess I'll either have to download the next update via FUS and use Odin to flash it or just revert to 2.3.5 again ;-).
Greetings,
düstaaa
Wait for the next update .
But it makes little sense to me Update then check days later for another update .
Their is a possibility that the OTA updates are set to only update via OTA in the future .
jje
For my part I didn't check for another update, I just connected my phone to my PC to backup my contacts and some other stuff, hence I saw the message in KIES. I thought I'ld google it and found this thread. ;-)
But yes, there's nothing else to do but wait.
Same here I didn't checked for update , just connect phone to PC and see this in big letters. So it makes me worry a bit, if something went wrong or not.
Looks like the problem was on Samsung server side. After one week Kies start working as usual . No more "Kies can't update.." message
I guess it's because the 2.3.6 update can now be applied via KIES.
Pretty much installed XXKG6 on my SGS2 ages ago using ODin, check back a couple of months later and saw i had missed out on loads of updates. I really do not have time in my life to update my phone manually every other day.
My phone still works with Kies perfectly but i can't update/go back to official firmware which you get from kies. Unable to update to Samsung's newest firmware. How can get it back to working like when i first got my phone? When i could just plug it in and Kies did all the work while i go off and do something else. Also do i need a USB jig?

Hey,
should be work, when u flash back to an older stock rom like "KJ3" (without root or anything).
So Kies recognized that it's not the newest and so update to it.
U can check this thread for firmware and install guide:

Much success.

I will give it a go now, Thanks for the quick reply by the way.
Would it be best to install something like "XWKE2" i think that might of been the original firmware what come with my phone and it also says "Generic XEU (UK)" which is where I'm from so that might help too?
Cheers for the help mate!
Okay i can see
"+++++++[Frankenstein Firmwares]+++++++
These packages below are not official firmware packages, they are Frankenstein package created due to demand for Firmware with different CSC and modems and also leaked firmware packages. KIES will not recognise the firmware so you won't be able to update to new firmware using KIES unless you flash back to a firmware meant for your device first. Otherwise there will always be Odin to use for updates"
Explains why i couldn't update with kies. But now i have tried installing a number of the official firmwares. Half of them boot loop and never turn on. The other half turn on but i get no service and every couple of seconds something pops up about having to force close com.phone.android or something. Plus it no longer connects to Kies.
Please help me out

Hi,
Has anyone on Orange in the UK updated to the latest firmware via Kies?
I've just plugged my phone in to Kies and seen the update, and I wanna know if this is what I hope it is... the JELLY BEAN UPDATE!!!
I doubt it, as I've seen nothing online to suggest anyone has it yet.
Let me know people! Thanks for your help!
Without evidence in a build number or Android version its just another old old update .
Orange first never usually months behind .
jje
There is no chance whatsoever that it is Jellybean, Jellybean will be out most likely last of all UK networks for Orange.... the first phone to get the update will be the UK unbranded update.
This update is probably LG8 or LH1....
I've attached a screen print of the message I get in Kies. Not sure if this is the "build number" your referring to. I won't get a version number till I update. I'm holding fire on that till I know it's necessary.

Last! Damn Orange.
When the unbranded update comes out, is there any way to trick Kies into giving me that? If I sim unlock or something?

not kies no, but you could use ODIN, you download the file from a link that will be posted on here open ODIN and plug in your phone and press start (not exactly the full process but just to tell you how simple it would be).
You don't need root or anything like that to do this, you could also use the same process to flash back to an Orange Rom if you needed to in the future.
LG very old firmware ..
Use CHECKFUS to download your original current firmware and save it can be flashed via Odin in the future if problems .

Thanks, I've used Odin before, but just to root a few S2s and my S3. Will keep an eye out for that unbranded update.
Funnily enough I just installed the LG1 radio on my GF's Orange phone last night as I had issues using the LFB Firmware.
