Hi I have just got an X10 and it is locked I believe and it is running the first android 1.6 it has never been updated or anything.
I would like to know how I can update it to 2.1 froyo and also if there is a way to unlock the phone my self.
I have had experience with the htc desire but not with the X10.
Thanks for any help or info

No offense mate but just read the forum and use search.
You have experience with android so just use one if the 2.1 threads.

I did look around the forum but I don't know how to usedate to 2.1 from 1.6 I seem to have found out that I need to pay to get phone unlocked.
If someone can point me to a thread that explains how I update that would be great.
Thanks

Download pc companion for sony ericsson and/or SEUS to see if you can upgrade it there. If it says something like you already have an updated version, u can either wait or flash it to 2.1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825201
Firmware update and unlock is two different things.
You don't get your device unlocked by updating the firmware.
I know them are two different things mate I have rooted my phone with a one click root thing from the market I want to update to 2.1 which I am going to look into now.
But I wondered if there was a free way I could do it myself.
Thanks

What version do you have now? Unless it's newer than R2BA023, just use this guide... Newbies Guide to Rooting X10 and giving you the newest firmware!
Latest version is R2BA024 relased last week in HongKong.
Looking for R2BA024 ROOT
What are the changes in the R2ba024 update.?

The real question is when will we get the 2.3 update from at&t. When the official 2.1 came out for the x10 at&t was late by 6months or more. I suggest you spend the time to read and research about using & installing custom roms because eventually a 2.3 custom rom based on official se sources will be available.

Another option is to debrand your phone, which will remove all of the att bloatware by flashing the global generic firmware, which will allow you to get the update as soon as it is released instead of waiting for att to release their version, it took them around eight months to release their 2.1 update. If you aren't comfortable flashing it youself there are sites, like davinciteam.com, that will make it easier for a price.

How do you flash your device to remove all the att crap and id like to be able to overclock my x10a, any help would be great
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
Flash a custom rom after rooting. If you find that too complex you can use TotalGSM or Davinci to debrand the phone, but they charge.
Debranding from att is easiest by just flashing a generic version with flashtool. Or root google debranding xperia x10 its super easy with root explorer

But how do I get a flash tool to do this?

Do just like hoskopico said, root your phone, buy Root Explorer on the market, and edit the build.prop file to one that can be updated (see how to debrand and the list of updated kits, do a quick search for how to debrand and look under "General" for the roll-up to see what kits are available.).
I want to install sim free, uk firmware on a Sony Ericsson mini pro. I bought the phone for my wife but the firmware on it is not generic. Just need pointing in the right direction of a tutorial that is easy to follow and everything I need. Thanks in advance guys, any help with this will be very much appreciated.
for mini pro you should go there:

Its already unlocked, I just want to install a new fw on it
if you want a simple and stable system you can try pfonck's 2.1.1.Clean.0.0.
What's your thoughts on the 2.3.4 update, when do you think we will see it?
After a couple of searches on google I'm afraid that it will take a while before we have it, what do you guys think?

If it's the offical firmware then by rights you don't need to unlock the bootloader as it's signed code.
Here in Sweden it's been released officially and can be updated using SEUS/PC Companion
But now when I got the official release can I root it?
I have followed this guide to unlock bootloader and root another Xperia Mini but this is for FW 4.0.A.2.368.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1227149
Is it possible to root after updating to 2.3.4, FW: 4.0.1.A.0.283?
Check the Arc section, I think they have a method of rooting for this firmware that doesn't require an unlocked bootloader.
Good day!

Why not go a bit further and root it.Then you can use development tools to streamline your phone.
Then you can either stay on the same rom or upgrade it..

^ right on !! why not root the phone !! you're gonna love you phone after that !!
Besides the stock gingerbread is laggy you will see the great difference when you use a custom rom

Why not to unlock bootloader. If you do this, you can use better kernels for your phone.
I unlock bootloader with "Flashtool"
