There is no official X10a 2.1 update.
If you want your X10a to think it is an X10a, then wait for the official X10a update and install that (you'll most probably have to flash your old factory ROM first).

Yes you can, I thinks it is in the build.prop file

I haven't done it myself, though it is mentioned often in this forum and nobody has bricked it by changing the name.

Hello and welcome to the forum....
Root is where you get access to all file system on the phone and you can use apps that needs that like setcpu there you can control the cpu
Debranding is when you buy a phone from o2 there is apps from the provider on the phone and with debranding you will get a genetic firmware on the phone from sony ericsson without all the provider software
Oh so root is just to get to the core of the phone? Or is it something like iphone jailbreak?
For debranding why would people dont want the provider software? It cant be deleted?

yes root is like iphone jailbreak.....
People debrand there phones, becuase many provider software is slow and the software update from provider takes long time....
the provider software can't be deleted
How do you know which is the provider software?

here in denmark we have hi3g as a provider and on a mini from them there is a planet3 app and mobiletv and then we turn on the phone it shows a boot screen with 3 and thats is branding
Oh so if there isn't anything that shows at the start then its not been branded?

Rooting
Sorry to open this topic up again, but I want to root and debrand my phone.
Is there a specific order I should do it in? Or will rooting allow me to debrand?
I think Custom ROMs are already debranded, but I'm not sure. For Rooting, use a program called SuperOneClick, google it and you'll easily find it.

X10a flashed to X10i answered

Recently I decided to flash my XperiaX10a using an X10i build. Basically I wanted to run freeX10 rom. It worked, I'm running the beta⁴ and love it. But I was wondering if using a rom designed for X10i on a phone originally X10a could have unseen negative effects? Anyone know the truth on this matter?

i been using beta4 and there is no problem, mine is X10a, but said X10i
Thanks for the feedback ;p

Cm7 question

Will cm7 come to the .54 baseband soon I'm a noob to android so I just wanna know and if not can someone give me steps to get it
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Currently is only developed for .4X basebands, maybe in the future when we get a stable ROM it will support other basebands, I think its easier that way, if you want to install it, download the file that is posted on the CM7 thread, inside it includes all you need to flash your X10 to .4X baseband and CM7 ...
Is there a how to cause like I said I'm a noob and need a how to lol and how often is it that they do come out with all basebands cause I want cm7

[Q] How to downgrade an X10

Hello my wife has the sony ericsson x10 and we updated it to the new firmware. She doesn't like it. Is there anyway to go back to 1.6 firmware and if so how.
Thank you
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
To let you know, your x10 will lose some functionality on the phone if she downgrades from 2.1 to 1.6. Like the camera, software enhancemeaces, speed, and others. Did you still want to continue?
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
Lol yeah she hates the upgrade. Of course she is insane but lol
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
Use the Flash Tool to flash original operators firmware....

when you say lose function. it will still work or not at all.
Wow everyone can't wait for 2.3 but she wants 1.6. Cool

Maybe some sharper images in camera and no hd camera in 1.6.

Well I miss the curved lock screen and there were plenty of spots to put a reject or silence buttons.

Use flashtool to get the 1.6 stock firmware, but I highly sugest to keep 2.1, you can try to istalling a theme.
You can use the androxyde and bin4ry's flashtool to downgrade: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
And you can search the 1.6 firmware here in my tread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872298&page=1
She told me today her applications are crashing on the new update. If it was me I wouldn't own the xperia. But she likes sony Ericsson.
