My father in law in visiting has an X10i (on 1.6) that he purchased from the Middle East. I've been trying to update through SEUS and no luck; it keeps saying that I have the latest software.
Questions:
1. Is the 2.1 update available for all X10i? or not yet all?
2. How can I check the phones region?
3. Should I update using one of the decrypted roms in the forum? if yes then can someone who's done recommend one please?
Thank you so much in advance.
first on the lock screen press ( Menu, Back, back, menu, back, menu, menu, back )
then service info>Software info>
then you can see which software you got in your phone, if it says World Generic then it means that you should get the update.
My X10i is from the Middle East and my region was world generic, so I managed to get the update.
Tip: sometimes the SEUS says that you have the latest software (1.6) but when clicking on re-install it will install the device to 2.1 update
Thanks for the response. I did the the menu back thing, and it shows that my software is "Generic" not "world generic". I did a search for update on SEUS and SE PC Companion and still nothing, then I did a repair and it downloaded 1.6 again.
How can I update to 2.1?
Anyone? this is my soft v 1227-4612_r2ba026 generic
I've got the same code as you and have had no luck with SEUS or PC Companion.
I have repaired or installed with both Friday and Saturday and I just get 1.6 re-installed.
i have flashed my at&t x10a into Nordic generic and i still cant get it to update to 2.1
I am in Virginia, US. Software Update still does not find Android 2.1. I am still on 1.6.

Dear all,
i updated my X10i from RB1A014 into RB2A020 (Singapore) , then, i was trying to root it, but unfortunately i root it with wrong flash tool (that meant for R2BA024 >> R2BA026)...
I then go back to SEUS to refresh my X10i (Singapore should only up to R2BA020) , and now the number stay at R2BA026.... I was very puzzled... Is it a real "026", or because the system files had been over written by the flash tool i used wrongly?
How do I do to root my x10i, and to update to R2BA026??
Please advice....
Thank you...
Go to the X10 lock screen, and do this key sequence.
Menu Back Back Menu Back Menu Menu Back
Then go to Service Info -> Model Info to find out which ROM brand you are using.
Then for firmware version checking. Go to Settings -> About Phone then scroll down.
If it shows R2BA026 then it is R2BA026.
You can always redo the whole rooting step all over again to get at least R2BA024 with root access. I don't know how to get R2BA026 with root access.

So, Xeviro, had you did any update recently? What is your X10i software status?
i haven't try to do update again on SingTel firmware yet. now running R2BA024 with root access. i have my SingTel firmware decrypted and can be flashed with flashtools, later next new root comes, i will try. I doubt they have new update for Singapore firmware, last time people having update 23 already while SingTel still stucks with 14.
your's is also from SingTel?
i am Starhub user, and i update the firmware via SEUS...
the first time i update it was version 20...
then, i completed the step1 of flash.. then realise i do it wrongly.. and stop there...
then, i go refresh my X10i with SEUS, and then, it shows version 26...
anyway. no worry. if your aim is FW 26 with root access. just go through this steps
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=740240 or you can follow the main root thread.
just redo the whole root process again without worry, X10 is hard to brick
If you want to go back to StarHub FW (is there's any) then hopefully you have the previous ROM FW14 or FW20 in back up, then you can reflash again or even decrypt it.
If don't have StarHub FW in back up, then you might need to find other X10 with StarHub FW to make a backup so later you can use to reflash in case you need to go see CS for repair or anything.
Also maybe there are possibility that StarHub is using other different FW than SingTel that might have FW26 ready for update. You just key in the key sequence and check for the phone FW brand.
By the way is the first FW installed in the phone for StarHub X10 have any StarHub customization inside? My SingTel X10 have Live Traffic in Timescape. If it doesn't have any maybe its Generic FW.
Hi All,
my brother just got an Xperia X10 (without warranty) two days back, and it's been restarting itself over and over again sometimes.. sometimes it simply does not charge, and sometimes sim goes un-detected leaving "activating phone" on the screen.. whenever i re-install the os, the problem goes off for few hours then it comes back again. It has the R2BA020 update and whenever i run sony erricson update service, it shows me as the phone has the latest firmware so i always have to stick with R2BA020 firmware. I am thinking may be an upgrade to the phone might solve the issue with the phone. But i'm being unable to upgrade to any firmware like R2BA023 or R2BA026. I know R2BA026 has a wifi issue.. but at least 3G works and phone works..
Any help anyone? Thanks.
Sounds like it is the phone that is the problem and not the firmware revision. I and many others here are on R2BA020 with no issues.
You say that you have done a reinstall of this, was it the repair installation through PC Companion or SEUS? Later FW releases are only available if the network releases it or if you are rooted and dependent on what Firmware you rooted with (Generic, Combi, etc... and from what country).
for the phone faults i would try a new/different sim card first.
what network is the phone on ? is it branded ? your network might not of released the latest updates yet
why does it have no warranty ? SE offer a 1 years manufacturer warranty that goes off the serial no
If you're on Rogers I believe that was the latest (and first) firmware update. You won't be getting an updated version if that's the case.
It's bricked now
Hey Guys,
Sorry for the late reply. I was expecting to have email alerts if someone replies, but i had forgotten to enable email notifications apperently.
Whenever I got that problem, I used to re-install the firmware and then it works for a day or maximum two. but couple of days back, phone just went down while using it and when i tried to repeat the firmware re-install process, either SEUS nor PC companion detects my phone version. "It says device could not be identified. try again later". I tried to root the device and it fails with this error.
Code:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

Press any key to continue . . .
with the following warning little bit before that.

This is not a branded phone. I bought this device from someone returned from UK and he got this from T-Mobile UK. (at least thats what he said).
Code:
why does it have no warranty ? SE offer a 1 years manufacturer warranty that goes off the serial no
do you mean i have the warranty despite the fact that i'm not using it with t-mobile and i'm not the original owner?
any suggestion to unbrick this device is highly appreciated.

The warranty is country specific I have found. Contact sony of canada and se if they will foot the bill, otherwise you will need to ship it to the UK for service I am afraid. Is it a Xperia x10i ?

so basically i have generic x10i uk r2ba020 f/w on my rogers x10a phone..
i kept having problems with wifi and i'm thinking it might be because of the firmware i have currently, so i want to bring it back to x10a (rogers f/w)
however, i've tried the flashtool in jerpelea's thread, the one-click apk file, and they both keep giving me this error
right after i connect the phone in flash mode, i get
'invalid or corrupt 'jar' file'
i can't use omnius because i need to purchase licenses and it's no longer free..
is there any other way for me to get this phone back to x10a??? i'm really worried that i won't even be able to update to 2.1 when the update comes out..
-----------
edit : can't seem to delete this thread...
i couldn't get it working on xp, but after many tries, I got the file working on win7, with one of the problems being the deviceid.txt being saved as unicode not ansi...
anyhow.. everything works now. thanks
I checked if there was a update for 2.1 on the phone it said install the pc companion which i did then it said i had a update for the mini and then after that it says instillation error.
i am on orange branded but i got the update from the phone advising me to go online to update?
My sister in laws mini is Orange branded UK too and same problem, I could not do it via pc companion either, downloaded sony update service instead and it found the new update and is installing as I type..
I've tried so many times, but I still can't get it update to 2.1.Why is that? Mine is x10i.
FYI i just got the update notification for 2.1 by SE downloading it now

We would need to know the brand and country of your current firmware to be able to help because x10i doesn't help.
from the swipe to unlock screen.. press
menu back back menu
back menu menu back
service menu - model info (I think)..

That wasn't what I asked.

I know we may not get the update until 2012 but is there at least a date as to when we'll get the update here in the US? this is driving me crazy.
I'm kind of afraid of debranding my phone because I don't want to brick it. If I just have a general release date that will be enough to hold me over...but I don't even know that!

USA

It's actually surprisingly easy to replace the firmware on your phone.. and then to swap it back if you need or want to.. have a look in the dev section and work your way upto it.. took me a while to build up the courage (mainly helped along by my impatience for the 2.1 upgrade)... but once i'd realised how easy it was.. there was no looking back.. i've since re-rooted my 2.1 several times, installed JIT to improve performance, removed a load of system apps that I don't use..
and if I bugger it up in the process, I can just repair it using SEUS and start from a fresh 2.1 build (not that I've needed to do that yet!).
