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.
Thanks for the help.

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.
I bought an Optimus One in Dubai and it didn't came with android market (apparently it's blocked over here), so I rooted it and installed the vending.apk manually.
It opens but force close all the time, downloads never start and after a while it force closes... I've tried clearing the data and using market enabler but the problem persists.
Im new on android, anyone can help?
Thanks!
Facing the same problem...
@raguida
Strange coincidence!! I also bought the Optimus One (P-503) from Dubai and facing the same problem of not having Android Market. For some strange reason, SLIDE ME is pre-loaded on the phone... but it cannot hold a candle to Android Market.
Can you walk me through the steps used for rooting it? Also, where did you get the vending.apk from?
Help from the gurus would certainly help leveraging the power of Android.
Thanks!!
Anyone has market running properly on Optimus One?
I've downloaded many vending.apk files the only one that actually installed is attached, but like I said even when it doesn't force close the downloads stuck on "starting download" phase...
Maybe it's not the proper vending.apk for this phone or for froyo... if any user have this phone with market running and can upload the apk it would be great...
To root it was really simple just follow the step by step video on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Good luck and let me know if you have better luck... I suggest you try to install the market before rooting bcs so far rooting the phone didnt help on anything and maybe in the end it's not even necessary...
I downloaded my market.apk from phone. It is actualized to last version. Maybe it will help maybe not. You will see.

What about name of application? Can't be problem here?
Thanks a lot, you version is much newer then the one I was using, unfortunatelly the FC still happens when I try to download or open the downloads tab... or maybe it's because of my version, it's V-10c...

It's strange. Maybe problem is not in application itself. Check it out.
If problem is really in issue that Google's market doesn't support East countries you probably will have to flash one of original-one firmware from another country.
Which version of fw do you have?

It will be fine check if P503 and P500 are same model with different ROMs. If so, then chose your original ROM and flash it into.

After re-flash you of course lost also rooting, because whole ROM was replaced. For rooting you can use same steps as before you used. (Super One click 1.5.5+ (PC app), z4root (android app), or configure via adb shell)
If is phone rooted, than you are allowed to delete what you want - also pre-installed apps. You can find this apps in /system/app but be careful what are you delete!!
Can somebody confirm this path? I'm not sure about this.

Because it seems, that A,B,C aren't older or newer version, but only country modification. But nobody knows, what is true.
Discuss about this you can find here.
I think that possibility of different language (country) versions can be likeliest.

I've chosen 10a bcs mine was already showing 10c, but I think it was a modified version of 10c (without market), anyway 10a is working fine. Does the 10c version come with nDrive or you also had to download it again?
Have you noticed any missing apps from your previous version to this 10c you installed? Also there are any new apps other them market there?

With LG P500 V10n doesn't work.
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
Just now I connected my Mini with latest 0.24 firmware version installed. SEUS is showing new update available. I have not updated as I have some urgent calls to come. Anybody can checkup. I have a nordic build.prop. Waiting for some great news

BTW this update doesn't seem to have anything great which can equal the pain taken to reinstall everything. If Termdonte's process works OK universally then it can be tried.

Hey, I'm on rogers in Canada and was having a hell of a time getting rooted 2.3.3 on my phone without unlocking the bootloader(no point in unlocking the BL for just root .... especially w/the warranty problems). I figured I'd give Working Root on 2.3.3 ! a try but had trouble finding the right firmware to downgrade to and when I tried to update OTA it kept failing after downloading and trying to install it (looked like it went all the way through the process but the phone would reboot and say "update failed").
1./ Did a clean install of the Xperia_Play_Release_Generic_UK.ftf (it's .184) with flashtool and then re-setup my apns to get 3g etc working. I downloaded the generic ftf off a thread on these forums but couldn't remember exactly which thread so I recompressed it and uploaded it to multiupload to make it a little easier to get all the needed files
2./ Rooted with Chainfire's Gingerbreak apk
3./ OTA update and it worked (before I did a clean install I was having the ota update fail, probably because I had removed a few system apps via root uninstall, I just made sure that all I did this time after the fresh install was root and then update)
Note on Gingerbreak: I've seen this exploit take 5 minutes or a few hours to grant root on devices. Be patient, if it's still hasn't worked try re-seating or swapping your memory card for a different one and try again. Also be sure you're on 2.3.2, SE patched gingerbreak in their release of 2.3.3.
[FAQ]
1./ I don't have ota updates available in my country, will this still work for me?
Answer: Yes, this installs the global firmware to your phone, after that your phone will look for global updates rather than carrier specific updates.

nelly_boy said:
I used the above processes to get back to 2.3.2. All good but data dont appear to be working. Phone calls everything else is fine. Data is enabled but I never get G H or E in the status bar.
Any ideas? Do I neeed to get onto wifi to download carrier settings?!?!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Answer
step 1./ google your carriers apn settings
step 2./ enter them in settings/wireless & networks/mobile network settings/Access Point Names (make sure you set up your mms apn if you want working mms as well, info for your carrier is available on google, that's where I found mine.)
step 3./ Profit
ncaissie said:
Yes you can use wi-fi. and Like I said OTA is safe it is the PC update that bricks.
Just follow those steps. It's easier than I expected.
Edit:
The things not mentioned in the OP is that you need to download a file manager to install the Gingerbreak. And you need to enable the “Unknown Sources” in the apps settings to install Gingerbreak.
After it roots it will reboot and you should see a new app called Superuser in your app list.
Then get Titanium Backup to uninstall thing you don’t want or move apps fully to the SD card. If you are not in the UK the BBC player is no good to you. I think there is a thread with a list of apps you can safely remove

You would have to find that out for yourself, it's in settings/about phone/Software Update/Update Now. If this says no updates available then I guess OTA updates aren't available in that region at the moment.

that's what I think, basically your phone will stop asking for Netherlands ota updates and search the net for UK updates.

Willis111 is right, I performed the process here in the US today and no troubles finding the OTA update, despite the message there was no OTA before I flashed to .184 UK generic. Should work for you as well.

Thanks for confirming
Thanks for the thread. Just one question. I'm on 2.3.3 (no root) and dont want to wait longer for a working 2.3.3 GingerBreak. But i want to keep all my apps/settings. Can i downgrade to .184 UK generic without losing all my data?
Edit:
Another question:
1./ Did a clean install of the Xperia_Play_Release_Generic_UK.ftf with flashtool and then re-setup my apns to get 3g etc working.

If i dont do a clean install...what about the apns? Will they stay too? In my own thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14705145&postcount=4
FrAsErTaG said that i can choose to not flash the userdata. I already found the option within the Flashtool. Are my apns a part of the userdata or will they get overwritten/deleted anyway?
Edit: Forget everything. It worked
I didnt wipe anything or "clean" my system. I just did the downgrade. After that, i got 1 issue. I always got this message: "android.process.acore has stopped". Google said that this is an issue with synchronize the contacts, etc. But i didnt freak out I just installed GingerBreak, did the root, then the OTA, and after OTA everything was fine again. Now i have full rooted 2.3.3

Happy it works!
Thanks for the info, I can confirm that this procedure worked for me as well. I'm now running v2.3.3 Rooted with a locked bootloader on my originally locked R800a from Rogers!
How do you do an OTA update on Rogers if it is not here yet?

My XPlay was originally purchased from Rogers. But since I've had it, I unlocked its network, flashed it with the Generic UK .184 firmware and Rooted it with GingerBreak v1.20. When I checked under "Settings\About phone\Software update\" and manually searched for an update, it was able to find it, download it and install it.
Sweet, Thanks
