I used the 2.1 method to go from Global to world, remember to use CDA number, NOT SI.
i have a question, in that thread says that it should be only used from X10i to x10i, and not x10i to x10a...
and the FW i want is supposed to be x10a, so, it will work?
also, i cant edit the file, cause it's says "Is only read" and i cant change the permissions
Use the root explorer , on ur phone .after rooting it , so u can edit that file

I would like to upgrade to 2.1, I have a South African X10.
Am I correct in thinking I must flash the 1.6 Nordic firmware and thereafter flash the 2.1 firmware?
Can someone please help me with the steps I need to take (my phone is not rooted), as reading the development section, there seems to be a lot going on and I am not quite sure which thread to follow, etc..
Thanks so much.

Debrand to Nordic Combined (B) Quick and update to 2.1
Hey guys,
first post here. =D
I have a Vivo branded phone (Carrier from Brazil). It's unlocked, but I can't yet update to 2.1 because unlocking does not unbrand. =/ Vivo is only releasing the 2.1 on the last week of november.
There is a lot of information here in the forum, but I found it a little confuse - too much information.
So my question, is there a safe way to unbrand my 1.6 X10a without rooting it?
Thanks!

Tks! But to do that I need to root right? Another question (sory, i'm new to the android plataform) I must update prom 1.6 to, 2.1 World generic then change the code to 2.1 Brazil generic, right?
How can I save the Branded Firmware if I need it in the future?
So, can anyone confirm that the SEUS method to debrand the X10 still works?

1- if you update your phone from 1.6 to 2.1, the code will stay the same (Brazil stays Brazil) unless you use the flash tool to upgrade with another firmware.
2- You can try to download the flash tool with the right firmware if it's available, else, just use the 12XX-XXXX code on your phone (under the battery on the sticker) and rebrand using the different methods available on XDA.

If you mean the one where you have to quickly replace a file while it's updating, no it doesn't work anymore.

Well the model is Originally X10i as it says in the back of the phone. Then I flashed it to X10a for FW 1.6 because I use it in Honduras, Central America. After that I did the Flash for X10i Global 2.1. So I really don't know what to do and which version I will get.
I found out in this blog that kit on the back of my phone 1232-4308 already has the update but SEUS always used to say I have the latest update.

theres a tutorial somewhere around here (i cant find it anymore) tbat shows how to change your phone to any brand you want. you just need to find the code for the region you want, then go into your settings file and change the numbers accordingly. sorry im not much help i havent done it in a while, just look around for it it shouldnt be any further than page 3 of android development. But yea once you change the right codes restart your phone twice and then plug it into seus and click reinstall and your good to go btw you will need root acess and a program like root explorer to do this

Hey guys,
I want to change my Nordic region xperia x10 running 2.1 to 2.1 The Netherlands Vodafone.
We have a update here, my friend got it, but I have not. we're both running 2.1, but he has just bought it yesterday, so its still from The Netherlands..
How Do I change it back? Plus, does this factory reset it?
Thanks in advance!

Blackvibes does not look for critics, he is trying to find answers to his problem. So if you're not trying to help, do not post.
Ive seen this on the arc section and it works !
Do not try this if you have an unlocked bootloader or if you dont know what your doing! I'm not resposible if you break or brick your phone!
If you're already on a rooted .184/.181 firmware and OTA update is available for you just update your firmware. If not:
- Backup the apps you need (if you have root)
- flash to .184 UK firmware with the flashtool (Do a clean install or else you will have alot of force closes)
- heres the .184 UK firmware and the flash tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
- Use Gingerbreak http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765 or Superoneclick to root your device
- Update your Play using a OTA(over the air) update(Got to settings->About phone->Software update)
- Restore your apps
- Enjoy your rooted 2.3.3!!!
NOTE !!! : The only thing you should do after you flash and before ota update is to root and nuthin more.
NOTE 2: The Generic UK firmware works worldwide. Doesn't matter what phone you have except for the Verizon model. So if you have an AT&T R800a dev/google conference unit or UK or Rogers or France or any other phone. It will work It will not brick your phone

If you're allready on a rooted .181 and OTA update is available for you just update your firmware. If not:
- flash to a 3.0.A.2.181 firmware with the flashtool
- Use Gingerbreak or Superoneclick to root your device
- Update your Arc/Play using a OTA(over the air) update(Got to settings->About phone->Software update)
- Enjoy your rooted 2.3.3!!!
Note this only works on .181 firmwares

Hi guys,
So far this methode only works with the .181 global generic firmware(1247-1061) on the Arc.
I think if you flash the global generic .181 firmware for the play this methode should also work for you guys.
good luck!

Whoa wait a minute!, it didn't work at all when I tried it AFTER I had uninstalled all the apps on the safe list, and plus it was also said to have just been working on .181 so I take what I previously said back and I'm pretty sure I confirmed it working also BEFORE you put this up

remember there is lots to search thru BEFORE you go and make sensationalist claims like "giving wrong information" out just a thought tuff guy!!
I can confirm that this is not working for me. I've flashed the UK generic 1.84 a while back. I've removed some bloatware after rooting with gingerbreak.
Today I read this thread and gave it a try. It downloads the update and when I click ok it shuts off and does it's thing with the four dots. When it reboots it goes through the Sony txt and bootup anim and then the lock screen and says it's unable to update?
I've tried it twice. My phone is sim unlocked from purchase. Could it be the removed bloatware or a modified framework that causes it?
Regards Dousan...
e: I did it OTA.
help......
i have a strange problem i was on 2.3.3 unrooted
i tried to downgrade to the uk generic firmware in this post with
flashtool, it flashed ok i restarted phone but
when phone goes to desktop its blank just the darkblue wallpaper with nothing on it
kust the time in the top right taskbar and the signal strenth and the simcard symbol with a red x on it and the battery status bar
and that it.
it wont scroll left/right for more home screens, none of the buttons do anything
apart from power button and volume up/down
when i scroll the notification bar down it just says emergency calls only
and then in the top left its got the numbers 1980 3 8
what the hell is goin on
my fone boots up but i cant use it in any way
Is the OTA update available everywhere? Mines on 2.3.2 but if i try to OTA it says im already on the latest firmware.
