Did anyone from Egypt or Middle East( KSA, UAE, etc ) managed to get the 2.1 update till now?
I'm asking because i got bored of waiting and changed my Sales Item number to Global generic and updated my phone. I always check SE product blog with my SI number and no update till now for me.
I also noticed that the SI number on the back of my phone is not the same as the one in default.prop, is this normal ? and which number i should check on the SE product blog?
Really I have no idea, anyway I flashed the global Ans updated too
Why are you checking for the old numbers, I have no plans for returning back to the stock one since there isn't any difference.

Gentlemen can I ask you a question.. what is he mood in Egypt with the impending sale of Orascom's wireless division to the Russians? Anything in the news? I know that the media outlets there are censored and pro Orascom but was wondering if anything changed.
emmm
i think the default SI numbers should be .prop ones as the SEus check that which related to software ,
but what's the problem to get Uk , or other unbranded updates
we should not wait for our middle east updates
just go a head and use flashtool , install ur custom firmware no need even to change the configuration files , details

Hi, I live in middle east but I have an X10i from Sweden brand 3, and as far as I know the update to 2.1 is rolling to this model, but I'm not getting any update notification and when I try to connect my phone to the PC companion It keeps telling me that my phone has the latest firmware.
Does the country where I'm living affect the update process ?

Welcome to the forum.
Please use the search function - you will also find a number of stickies related to this item.
Google will also reveal a number of other blogs and news posts about this.
Sony Ericsson themselves also have some details on this on their website.
I have a UK supplied and UK used phone, updated normally through all progressions as a regular user (as opposed to someone who knows what they are doing) in the UK using SEUS.
My phone now shows as World Generic. it was UK Generic before THE 2.1 update. It also tells me that the software is up to date despite this new little update that has been around (in UK apparently) since before Christmas.
Help. I'm confused.
It does not take a lot.
I want this latest upgrade to see if the incall volume can be increased as it is currently pants.
PS. Aviation medicals over many years suggest I have no hearing impairment, as does the use of SE W980 and SE K800i.
SE themselves seem to suggest there is no problem with the volume of my X10 PDA - can't bring myself to refer to it as a phone...........................

It's normal, it's just the way it is. Go to Settings - About phone and tell us what Build Number you're using?
2.0.A.0.504
Well the latest is 2.0.2.A.0.24, so if you don't want to root just use seus which should update you to it, if you want to root it then you need to install THIS, because the current root methods don't work with the update you'll get using seus.
A new update from SE is avaible for Xperia x8
it's version is 2.1.A.0.390.
It isn't avaible for Poland so I can't check what it gives to us.
Tell me what to do if this is multitouch update to upgreade my x8
Oy!
Not available in Norway either. Think we were among the first to recieve previous update, so I'm a bit puzzled.
According to version number, it's the same as mentioned in the multitouch thread.
Any guestimates on its rootability?
Anyone have Cust code that have this yet?

If I only could get SI number with avaible update I could get it...
Can you give m SI code for the latest update 2.0.2? Cause I'm in Bulgaria and here we still don't have 2.0.2. I dont want chinese firmware. Nordic SI code will be perfect.
In chineese you can change language -.-
But still I want nordic FW. The updates there comes first, right?
Thought so, but I'm smack in the middle of "nordic", and no update so far.
Maybe this is caused by me running... i think it's the russian firmware?
I have no idea, but does the russian Si code is updated to 2.0.2?
Also not available here in Greece. Waiting...
Does anything change in location codes for each version?
If my memory serve me, I did post my localization code for nordic firmware around the time of 2.1 update. I'll dig a bit.
Edit: Forgive my nubness, but I believe this to be my "customization code" from the time of 2.1 updates: 1242-7327_R3B
No idea if thats what you're looking for.
no notification on the SE Update site?
is this update going to delete everything (apps, sms) from my phone again?
I'm from Russia, but we dont have this update too...
update not yet available for me too..
its been certified..

In Germany it's avaiable but I'm afraid to update, because I don't know if this firmware could be rooted too

Just received a new Xperia Ray locked to Orange. I have tried both the software update service and PC companion but both say my phone is up to date on 2.3.4.
The sony site says an upgrade is available for the phone (I even followed the link and upgraded my wife's Arc-S last night) but directs to install PC companion.
Orange suggest using the update function on the phone but none of these are updating; they all say I have latest firmware.
I checked the SI list and my code isnt there (well, not entirely) its SI 1254-3795.5
That last bit after the hypen doesn't relate to anything in that list.
Any idea how I can get it updated without rooting? Although there is a bit of Orange shovelware on there I would like to lose.
Phone was bought on 10th May from Orange online.
ICS 4.0.3 has been distributed to all ray a month ago. A new ICS 4.0.4 is rolling out but there are numerous people claiming their SI number are in the list but update service says they have the latest firmware. I for myself has that problem. This must be a problem from sony server.

Is there any way of getting the firmware and flashing it legally?
I presume from the Orange shovelware I mentioned that I am going to have to wait for Orange to release an update (complete with more of their stuff I dont want)?
Just found this on the Sony support forum:
Even if SI numbers are added for the cell phones, updating the phones will not be possble, as Sony Xperia Support team Member Johan, said that there's some problem with the server, and so people runining GB currently will not be able to update using PCC or SUS. We need to wait, for the update to resume again, and all the problems with the servers removed.
Looks like patience is needed or I flash manually...
Or if your phone is branded, the operator might have blocked the updates for your phone. Then you have to contact Orange.
Can I flash it manually with the Nordic firmware without unlocking anything or rooting?

Yes.
Brilliant...all done and running 4.0.4. Dont remember it being that easy when i used to flash my HD2.
Best of all...no Orange bloatware.
Still need to get it unlocked though...
Hi can you comfirm if your text and gmail app is working on your nordic firmware
As my
Gmail wont send photo attchments it says sent but never shows up on other end
Also text say sending but never send
Thank you
I've got the same problem with my Orange UK Ray, my issue is that's it's on a contract through work so I'm not sure I'm allowed to update the software unless I use the Sony website.
I contacted Orange to find out if they have a date for ICS on the Ray, they quoted "end of the year - more likely December rather than November"! I'm desperate for ICS, does anyone know if I void the contract if I upgrade to ICS by flashing the Nordic software?

I have an Orange UK Xperia Ray and got bored of waiting for ICS so I flashed mine to a stock 4.03 Central European firmware, which then updated to official 4.0.4 through PC Companion. This was a couple of months ago but Maps / Navigation is not as stable as GB, having frozen a couple of times so have mixed feelings. Flashing different firmware to the one it shipped with invalidates your warranty AFAIK...
If anyone has a copy of the UK Orange FW for SI 1254-3795 in .ftf format I would appreciate it for the stability and warranty, seeing as an official update is on the horizon.
Hi, if you chance the SI code to try to get faster access to ICS via PCC, will it be a different version of the upgrade in any way? Would it have different apps/languages/anything? I see ICS is being reported available in India and Poland for the Sola, but I wonder will those versions be any different than say UK ICS?
Also...second question. I bought my phone in Germany, but I do not live there. I'm trying to update from another country. Will the update look for the German SI or my country right now?
Thanks!

You will get upgrade available for that SI code.SOmetimes regional updates have extra bloatware,Indian ICS might be slightly different than UK ICS,might not have certain languages.
It will look for Geman SI.
