hi bro
im new here. i picked up the x10i frm dubai.
and unknowingly update to r26 version. im unable to update to android 2. the pc companion says me to put the fone in flash mode, i do the same thing in the picture, but instead the fone turns on... please help. thank u
Take the battery for 10 seconds, put it back in and run it again.
Hi bro, I faced exactly the same problem but now i have finally updated to Android 2.1, so maybe i can help.
1) Check if you have any antivirus installed. disable it or run your PC in safe mode with networking.
2) check whether update for your kit has been launched here-

Since your phone is from dubai, just like mine, maybe update is not out yet. Does PC companion show 'update available'?
3) Forget SEUS, update from here-

hi there, i am in dubai and i got rooted x10i running on 2.1, what i can suggest is that root your 1.6 x10i, then change into global genirec firmware, use the SEUS to update into 2.1, you'll be having it plus market app will be added to your phone.. its nice to have market app here in uae..

I rooted my x10 mini pro using the exploid method to use barnacle wifi tethering and titanium back up to remove unwanted apps. A new software update is now available but i cannot install it because my phone is rooted. They say you need to use SE update service or pc companion to remove the root.
SE Update says my software is up 2 date and so cannot update using it PC companion also says my phone is up to date and when i try to repair ,it says could not download the update and asked me to check my internet connection. I don't understand this because I use the same PC companion to download everything else fine...media go, the update engine.
Is there another way to unroot the phone...i gather it is possible to flash the default u20i software back onto the phone.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated because as things stand I would not even be able to update to 2.1 when its released.
I also had a rooted X10 mini pro and I couldn't get the update without unrooting it. I ran Update Service and just like in your case, I got a message that my phone was up to date. However, when that message appeared, I could press "Install/Update" (don't remember what the button was called) in the bottom right corner of the screen. That reinstalled everything, root was removed, so I could update it and re-root it.

When I use the SE updated service it just says no new updates for your phone. The only button on the bottom right corner is exit. There is no option to install.
Just to be sure the se update service is a separate software to pc companion not part of it. I googled seus to find it. Just in case there is confusion, it also told me that it was up to date but I had the option to reinstall

Yes I know the Update service is a separate software to pc companion. I have a mini pro U20i and it gave me no option to reinstall only to exit the program. If the update service is the program with an icon of a phone with a download arrow beside it then thats what i'm using.
I am also having the exact same problem.
I cannot unroot my phone - and the SEUS just says I have the latest version installed and will not allow me to reinstall/repair.
Any other ideas would be appreciated!
I've had the same problem - rooted the mini Pro, then couldn't download the update and couldn't repair it using SEUS (saying I had latest version) or PC Companion (error with internet connection) and couldn't unroot it.
I've sorted it by using Omnius mentioned in another thread.
Register on the site and download the software and the ROM. I chose the U20i_WORLD_1_8_CDF1238_0199, which on a thread about changing the colour listed it as UK Black. It's a RAR with 2 files. I set the larger file to be Application file and the smaller one as the Customisation file.
Flashed it and it worked, back to stock without root. Took a while to boot from the SE logo, I thought I'd bricked it!
Downloaded the official OTA 1.2.A.1.174 and it installed. Going to test now, hoping that it may improve battery life, my only complaint with the phone.
Mine's a sim-free x10.
PS - It's still blue scheme, not black.
I update my X10 failed with the update services now cant swtich on anymore...please someone help me...my X10's singapore version...
Check if you're branded or not and check what software version do you have
how to branded?i used the rootexplorer and changed the "ro.semc.version.cust" and "ro.product.name" to 1234-8465 under "system/default.prop"...after that i used the update services software to update 2.1 but failed...it said the installation failed...please disconnect the phone and make sure the battery fully charged...oh my god...now i switched my phone on it only show a exclamation mark there...zzz...please help me...
Uh-oh i'm sure someone will be able to provide you some usefull info soon...Sorry can't help you further
anyway,thx...anyone else can help me to solve it???
Try remove your battrey, place it back and see whether it work ?
i tried many times...still useless...Singapore version update 2.1 really hard...does anyone in XDA test the Singapore version update successful to 2.1??
I also have a Singapore version and changed the number using rootexplore to Nordic version. I'm downloading the firmware now, will see if it installs without any problems. I will let you know soon...beginning to get little worry
OK,please inform me immerdiately...i need the way to save my X10...
Remove your battery and wait 30 seconds, than put the battery back in the phone and connect it in to your pc while you're holding the back key (before you connect the phone to your pc, run the SEUS)

Ok, I was able to install without any issues. I'm running 2.1.
I think I saw a way to unbrick the phone using a debranding method. You might try searching. Good luck.
2.1 update No mobile Network
Can anyone help me out here everything else works great except i have no 3g. Im on rogers in Canada. did i miss a step?
(RESOLVED)hey guys, i've been looking everywhere for about 3 days now and really don't know how to resolve my phone's problem. I bought the rogers e10a version of the x10 mini and really wanted to update my phone to the latest 2.1 version. As most of us know, you have to debrand your phone first as SEUS as well as sony companion will tell you that 1.6 is the lastest version. Anyways i ended up using the "build.prop.claro" file from skzBR from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=820009&page=4) while debranding and re-used SEUS to upgrade the phone to 2.1. Now when i used this build, i got the a claro logo when i booted up the phone and i didn't ike that, so i though i could just change the the build.prop in 2.1 to the other "build.prop.vivo"... well when i did that i felt really stupid after since i then remembered it was made for the 1.6 os. So now my phone is messed up! all i get is the Sony Ericsson start screen looping over and over again.
The phone does go into recovery mode, but does not have root permission through ADB so i can't push the old build.prop.claro file back into the phones system folder.. The SEUS and pc companion programs do not work to restore the phone and give me tell me my phone has no new software to update with. Even when i try pressing the repair option through pc companion get that same message. I've tried numerous flashtools with different rom with .sin files and have has zero success. So i'm wondering if i do have a chance at this if someone has the .sin files from both rom descirbe in the link and i try reflashnig it with the latest flashtool or if omnius is my only choice here.. any help really appreciated guys.
Thanks.

RE: have you tried this
yes i have, the flashtool establishes a connection with the phone when i put it in recovery mode. When it says its flashing my phone, all ,sin files or a 2.1 generic rom seam to flash fine and whn done, it tells me " finished, now reboot phone", the phone is still stuck and looping. So i don't know if its because i'm not flashing the .sin files of the build.prop.vivo rom which i can't seam to find anywhere or what....
Hi, im a bit busy today. So just give you a link that you can try http://www.xperiax10.net/2010/04/14/debrand-your-xperia-x10-tutorial/
Hope it will help you.
i fixed it
I flashed the phone with 1.6 e10i firmware and the java flashtool and it worked. I then changed the build.prop file to a e10a file and reflashed. SEUS was able to reflasht the phone's firmware to 1.6 e10a and all is good now... thanks guys!
Hi,
I flashed my phone from a Rogers X10a running 1.6 to nordic when 2.1 came out to get the update earlier. Now that the dual-touch update has come out I`ve found that I can`t update the software from my handset or my pc and am wondering if I can revert to x10a. A lot of the links people have shared in regards to this problem are outdated so it`s not really clear what can be done.
Whenever I try updating through my phone I get a message saying: ``New software available. Not enough memory, restart your phone before downloading.`` No matter how many times I restart i still get this message. Any ideas would be much appreciated
Thanks,

thanks for the quick reply
Unfortunately whenever I try to use the repair feature of SEUS or PC companion, it tells me that my phone doesnt have any software available and aborts the repair process. Is there a way i can flash to the latest rogers firmware?
Surprisingly, Rogers has the latest firmware:
2.1.1.A.0.6: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960598

Okay someone told me to update from 1.6 via computer data cable to 2.1 but my question is where do i go and how do i do it ...don't want anything custom just want the update no rooting nothing like that ....
Are you using an AT&T X10? If so, you won't be able to update Android 1.6 to 2.1 via Sony Ericsson's update utilities.
One of your best bets is to use this guide to get your phone to the Sony Ericsson generic global Android 2.1 update:

It only takes about ten minutes and works great.
plug in your phone, go to 'My Computer' and it will show the Sonyericsson logo as a drive, just double click it, it will install SEUS(Sonyericsson update software) its already on your phone. once its installed, just select 'update software' it will guide you step-by-step
