I've tried so many times, but I still can't get it update to 2.1.Why is that? Mine is x10i.
FYI i just got the update notification for 2.1 by SE downloading it now

We would need to know the brand and country of your current firmware to be able to help because x10i doesn't help.
from the swipe to unlock screen.. press

back menu menu back
service menu - model info (I think)..

I know we may not get the update until 2012 but is there at least a date as to when we'll get the update here in the US? this is driving me crazy.
I'm kind of afraid of debranding my phone because I don't want to brick it. If I just have a general release date that will be enough to hold me over...but I don't even know that!
Model:
X10a
Country:
USA
Brand :
ATT
It's actually surprisingly easy to replace the firmware on your phone.. and then to swap it back if you need or want to.. have a look in the dev section and work your way upto it.. took me a while to build up the courage (mainly helped along by my impatience for the 2.1 upgrade)... but once i'd realised how easy it was.. there was no looking back.. i've since re-rooted my 2.1 several times, installed JIT to improve performance, removed a load of system apps that I don't use..
and if I bugger it up in the process, I can just repair it using SEUS and start from a fresh 2.1 build (not that I've needed to do that yet!).

Dear all,
i updated my X10i from RB1A014 into RB2A020 (Singapore) , then, i was trying to root it, but unfortunately i root it with wrong flash tool (that meant for R2BA024 >> R2BA026)...
I then go back to SEUS to refresh my X10i (Singapore should only up to R2BA020) , and now the number stay at R2BA026.... I was very puzzled... Is it a real "026", or because the system files had been over written by the flash tool i used wrongly?
How do I do to root my x10i, and to update to R2BA026??
Please advice....
Thank you...
Go to the X10 lock screen, and do this key sequence.
Menu Back Back Menu Back Menu Menu Back
Then go to Service Info -> Model Info to find out which ROM brand you are using.
Then for firmware version checking. Go to Settings -> About Phone then scroll down.
If it shows R2BA026 then it is R2BA026.
You can always redo the whole rooting step all over again to get at least R2BA024 with root access. I don't know how to get R2BA026 with root access.

So, Xeviro, had you did any update recently? What is your X10i software status?
i haven't try to do update again on SingTel firmware yet. now running R2BA024 with root access. i have my SingTel firmware decrypted and can be flashed with flashtools, later next new root comes, i will try. I doubt they have new update for Singapore firmware, last time people having update 23 already while SingTel still stucks with 14.
your's is also from SingTel?
i am Starhub user, and i update the firmware via SEUS...
the first time i update it was version 20...
then, i completed the step1 of flash.. then realise i do it wrongly.. and stop there...
then, i go refresh my X10i with SEUS, and then, it shows version 26...
anyway. no worry. if your aim is FW 26 with root access. just go through this steps
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=740240 or you can follow the main root thread.
just redo the whole root process again without worry, X10 is hard to brick
If you want to go back to StarHub FW (is there's any) then hopefully you have the previous ROM FW14 or FW20 in back up, then you can reflash again or even decrypt it.
If don't have StarHub FW in back up, then you might need to find other X10 with StarHub FW to make a backup so later you can use to reflash in case you need to go see CS for repair or anything.
Also maybe there are possibility that StarHub is using other different FW than SingTel that might have FW26 ready for update. You just key in the key sequence and check for the phone FW brand.
By the way is the first FW installed in the phone for StarHub X10 have any StarHub customization inside? My SingTel X10 have Live Traffic in Timescape. If it doesn't have any maybe its Generic FW.
Hi All,
my brother just got an Xperia X10 (without warranty) two days back, and it's been restarting itself over and over again sometimes.. sometimes it simply does not charge, and sometimes sim goes un-detected leaving "activating phone" on the screen.. whenever i re-install the os, the problem goes off for few hours then it comes back again. It has the R2BA020 update and whenever i run sony erricson update service, it shows me as the phone has the latest firmware so i always have to stick with R2BA020 firmware. I am thinking may be an upgrade to the phone might solve the issue with the phone. But i'm being unable to upgrade to any firmware like R2BA023 or R2BA026. I know R2BA026 has a wifi issue.. but at least 3G works and phone works..
Any help anyone? Thanks.
Sounds like it is the phone that is the problem and not the firmware revision. I and many others here are on R2BA020 with no issues.
You say that you have done a reinstall of this, was it the repair installation through PC Companion or SEUS? Later FW releases are only available if the network releases it or if you are rooted and dependent on what Firmware you rooted with (Generic, Combi, etc... and from what country).
for the phone faults i would try a new/different sim card first.
what network is the phone on ? is it branded ? your network might not of released the latest updates yet
why does it have no warranty ? SE offer a 1 years manufacturer warranty that goes off the serial no
If you're on Rogers I believe that was the latest (and first) firmware update. You won't be getting an updated version if that's the case.
It's bricked now
Hey Guys,
Sorry for the late reply. I was expecting to have email alerts if someone replies, but i had forgotten to enable email notifications apperently.
Whenever I got that problem, I used to re-install the firmware and then it works for a day or maximum two. but couple of days back, phone just went down while using it and when i tried to repeat the firmware re-install process, either SEUS nor PC companion detects my phone version. "It says device could not be identified. try again later". I tried to root the device and it fails with this error.

This is not a branded phone. I bought this device from someone returned from UK and he got this from T-Mobile UK. (at least thats what he said).
Code:
why does it have no warranty ? SE offer a 1 years manufacturer warranty that goes off the serial no
do you mean i have the warranty despite the fact that i'm not using it with t-mobile and i'm not the original owner?
any suggestion to unbrick this device is highly appreciated.

The warranty is country specific I have found. Contact sony of canada and se if they will foot the bill, otherwise you will need to ship it to the UK for service I am afraid. Is it a Xperia x10i ?

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
I am in Virginia, US. Software Update still does not find Android 2.1. I am still on 1.6.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I seem to have the all too common problem with my X10 where it reboots when under lots of load.
I've decided i want to return it, however i'm currently using a rooted Nordic firmware, and i'd like to return the phone to standard before taking it to the store.
The phone is a Vodafone UK model (SI 1232-4285)
I've altered the settings inside build.prop to reflect the above number, rebooted the handset, then tried to reflash the firmware, however the PC Companion updater tells me "There is no software available for your phone yet, please try again later.", then ends, without actually performing the repair.
Any ideas?
It's not the SI that you want.. it's the build number which you can get from a link in here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=828163
and make sure that you reboot the phone after amending the details before you to to reflash.
Thanks for that.
Looking at this line:
X10i VFE-UK VFE 1234-4579 1232-4285 Vodafone UK/Sensuous black
I presume i should be setting it to 1234-4579 then?
Unfortunately in the mean time, i decided to try flashing the original operators firmware, which i downloaded from the developer section, and now the phone is booting to a vanilla 1.6 OS but asking for a SIM network unlock PIN...
think you'll need to find a new firmware and reflash.. then you can try again with the firmware code.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936733
and yes... 1234-4579
Thanks,
I downloaded flashtool and the latest 2.1 world generic and those flashed on just fine. The phone then started working again and i managed to root it, reinstall root explorer and correctly edit the build number.
SEUS then happily repaired the phone to the latest Vodafone UK firmware.
Things get stranger though, as i then tried to restore my backup i made on the old firmware to get all my contacts etc back. First couple of times i tried it the phone rebooted, so i left it to charge over night, and tried again this morning with a full battery. Backup Restore went perfectly, and it told me to reboot the phone.
Cept now it wont turn on. The phone vibrates momentarily upon pressing the power button, but does nothing else
Is it possible that some "system settings" from my backup have conflicted with the new firmware?
I'm going to try another repair now and see if that will get it working again.
you can't restore your old firmware on top of the existing firmware.. at least not without losing the existing.. If you want your old contents back but not the firmware then you'll need to restore just those elements.. what did you use to back up with?
Hey guys,
This is my first post here so please be nice I will try be as informative as I can!
Last week my aunt got a Samsung Galaxy S2 as an upgrade after my recommendation. She loved the look of things and liked how she could access Youtube and Facebook but then she got locked out of her phone completely and couldn't get back in because she didn't know her Gmail account.
After a bit of research I found out that I should do 'Hard Reset' and all should be back to normal afterwards, I did so and everything looked okay.
After giving the phone back to her my aunt said she no longer wanted it and gave it to me because it was too 'complicated'. Obviously I was overjoyed as my current phone does not even compare to this beast!
I put in my Orange sim, (hers was Orange too) turned on the Wi-Fi to update all the apps not even noticing that the 3g icon wasn't on. I could see the phone had some signal so I thought everything was okay. It was only when I tried to call my dad of the phone that I realised something was wrong. It said 'Mobile Network not Available'.
I have found many threads about 'rooting' or IMEI but I don't understand what they mean as I am a newbie in all of this.
I would send the phone for repair but it does not have insurance so that's a no go. The phone came unlocked too so I don't understand why it's doing this. The sim I put in works on my old phone so I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with it.
What should I do?
Looking forward to your replies
See * HERE *
Remove your battery and your sum card.
Wait 10 seconds put them back in and reboot.
If problem still exists go to
settings > wireless and networks > mobile networks. Select your carrier network.

Thank you for your replies samgalaxys2 and dred_up, I appreciate it!
I tried doing what you said samgalaxys2 but nothing's changed, I tried doing it myself before but no luck
In reply to your questions on the other thread I can confirm that my sim works as it works on my old phone. I can also create contacts on the sim too.
I don't know what the EFS folder is but when I dial that number you said (*#06# ) I can also confirm that the IMEI is the same number shown in my settings and underneath the battery.
What should I do?
Wiska.
The fault = put your sim in the phone then not working .
First step has to be to get a new sim .
That would be followed by either a return to a service centre or via XDA a flash of new stock firmware .

Have you tried the Access Point Names in the network settings, mine changed it's self after flashing a new rom.
Hello JJEgan, I have tried various working sim cards and it doesn't make a difference, I even tried a brand new T-Mobile sim. In the 'About Phone' section I can clearly see the Sim's name but it always says Out Of Service underneath.
I have tried that too s.d.oconnor, at times it doesn't work and when it does it says something like 'Network Updated' but nothing changes.
What do you guys mean by 'Flash of new Stock Firmware' & 'Flashing new Rom'
Sorry for the amount of questions guys, I have never experienced something like this before

Hmm okay,
I followed the thread and had to do it at-least 3 times before I could do it 'correctly'
I managed to get Ice Cream Sandwich OS on the phone and although I could now use the sims internet I can't use it to call or access my voicemail.
What can I do to fix this?
If I have to download a new rom could you copy the link because I think that maybe that's where I went wrong?
I am sorry but I tried my best as it is my first time doing all of this.
I think the Rom should be an XX as the phone and myself are in England plus my network is Orange
Wiska.
You can use the Dutch firmware XEN without problems...
Also is your fone a i9100P (NFC) or standard i9100?
Or take fone into Orange or a Samsung repair centre to have it checked out.
Hmm do you recommend I Flash it again and get XEN?
Do you think they'll repair it even though it has been flashed? I've got ICSandwich on it and I don't think Orange has released it yet lol
I tried to change the APN but nothing is happening

If it was a Orange (UK) branded phone, then first download, install and run Triange_away app. This will reset the custom rom flashing counter and take away any triangle at boot up (if present).
Next you need to download and flash the BVKJ4 rom from * HERE * - it is the latest official Orange UK ROM. It will wipe the phone to factory setting and you will loose root. It may solve your problem, but if it doesn't it will put your phone back to valid warranty for the service centre.
Sorry for the late reply, the amount of work college gave us yesterday was just too much!
Thank you for the link fred_up but the links are dead
Thank you for trying to help though, I really appreciate it mate!
Anyone know what I should do?
Search for the stock rom you're after on Samfirmware.com.
Edit to add - Make a note of the rom details from Intra's thread (the one you were linked to where the links don't work), that will make searching Samfirmware easier.
Thank you MistahBungle!
I am downloading what looks to be the firmware I need right now so fingers crossed it works!
Many thanks for the help mate! I will keep you updated if it works or not
I tried the latest Orange one but that didn't do anything, I then tried using the Carphone Warehouse one and although the 3G internet stuff works I can't call or text!

had same problem , just wipe data/factory reset, and cache then make a clean install of ur rom , and request the APNs again from your carrier
at first u can just delete the APN settings of ur carrier and try to get them again from it
