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

If model is unknown, you need to restore to 1.6/X10a.
Downgrading to 1.6/X10a (from 2.1 generic international), then upgrading using Sony Ericsson's Update Service to get the OFFICIAL Rogers v2.1a firmware:
Flash kit I compiled with every firmware: 1.6 a/i, 2.1 a/i:
the model number is x10a
firmware version is 1.6
baseband version is 1.0.14
kernel version is 2.6.29
build number is r1fa014
i tried flashing it. but when it gets to please connect your xperia in to flash mode searching for xperia.....
i did that and the xperia exit the flash mode and another cmd.exe window pops up and says access is denied

Call Vodafone Ireland, and ask for the unlock code, it's the best permanent solution. Or, use "voodoo SIM unlock" from the play store.
Use Odin and flash the Rom you want to use. After updating/flashing your phone, you will be SIM locked again, it will always happen.
STOP PAYING some random guy to play you for a sucker. He's probably using xda methods to flash and unlock your phone.

Hi folks,
I started off with the .475 India ROM, then installed the .475 rooted HK version, then moved to the .510 Taiwan version.
But now that there is an official .510 for India, would like to install it.
So, instead of waiting for someone to upload a FTF file, how can I change ROMs on the phone using the PC Companion?
1] Do I need to change the build.prop entries to India? What is the code for India? Currently I have the Taiwan one.
2] Once I make this change, will "Repair" using the PC Companion reninstall the India ROM, or will I still remain on Taiwan version?
3] Can we collate the various region codes in one place, so that switching ROMs might become easier?
Thanks for the help!
To answer my own question...
I changed the CDA for Taiwan, to the one for India. Connected the phone to PC Companion with the intention of "repairing" it.
But viola! PCC reported that an update was available. That turned out to be the .510 for India (I was on .510 for Taiwan).
Best part is, all my apps and settings are intact.
So, for those who want to try out firmware from other regions (mainly for the region specific apps Sony has bundled):
1] Root the phone, change the CDA entries in the build.prop file, which is in the system folder.
2] Reboot the phone, connect it to PC Companion, and Search for Update. Even if the version is same, PCC will treat the new region's firmware as an "update".
3] Note that you will lose root access, There is a "kernel swapping" method mentioned here to root the phone again: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45070025&postcount=389
This worked for me. the Vroot and 360 methods did not.
