[Q] How to update from Global 2.1 to Rogers 2.1? - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have flashed my phone earlier with global 2.1 which changed model of the phone from x10a to x10i. how can put back rogers ROM? I have tried repair and update methods, both are giving me you already have latest software.
I tried changing the build.prop file as well but didn't work
sorry if this reports I tired searching could find any solution
Thanks in advance

There's a thread with a rogers 2.1 rom in this section. Download that and the latest flasher and re-flash your phone; I just did this on my phone last night, exact same situation as you. Much easier than expected, thx to everyone in this forum,.good luck!

Switch to generic, not Rogers.
Rogers removes some options.

@dpk0875 - I'm looking for something like that searching for Rogers 2.1 yields zero results and most of the article I have read is saying I need to downgrade to 1.6 first then use pc companion to update. I'll appriciate if can give me that link to article
@BluechipJ - I'm tring to update to Rogers 2.1 this does other way from Rogers to Generic
The issue i'm having global 2.1 I'm seeing browsing outages which never happened when I was on Rogers 1.6 rooted

This flash kit contains:
v2.1 X10i International Generic
v2.1 X10a America Generic
v2.1 X10a Rogers
You can flash any v2.1 phone to/from any of those other versions.

The kit is switching different version of 2.1. the link is under the you tube video
http://www.multiupload.com/AH2EL4WCVM
but you need to have 2.1 on phone first. you can update using pc companion to 2.1 then you can switch 2.1 generic using this kit

that one of the reason I switched I was on global 2.1 and having data connection issues, now I've switched to generic x10a for north america and problem seems have went away. If you this kit to switch between 3 three different provided by the kit without any data loss(I would back it up just in case)

UK... the first country with 2.1 on x10

when UK got the update, is it possible to "catch" 2.1 and flash it onto devices in other countries? like the firmwares? (r2ba026 and so on)
or do we need root first?

I would have thought so, but will obviously have to wait for the devs to work their magic.
Alternatively you can "unbrand" your phone with a UK 1.6 build and get the UK update when it's out since your phone will then be recognized as a UK device.

That is true, this is the one of the easiest way. I hope we have UK branded ROM ready.
I already mention this on the 2.1 news thread, just to get trolled by two fellow from my one country, miss-read that i was talking about 2.1 release in singapore.. sigh
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8171482#post8171482
Wait, so if the UK is the first country to get the 2.1 update then noone will get Eclair update until the end of November? What happened to the updates starting to roll out at the end of October?
Yes, it's already been stated a million times. If you are on Rogers in Canada the update won't be available until November/December.
Sweden, the UK, and Japan, being their largest market will most likely get 2.1 first imo.
i do have unbranded phone i used north america method . so lets say i put a uk rom in there would it change the frequency of the phone? cuz i wana use the 3g same as at&t
How does the update service know the phone is UK, AUS or whatever? Is the firmware itself embedded with this, or is it determined by the IP address of the network connection its updating from?
Could that Market Access app be used to make it appear like its from the UK? In the version I have it doesnt appear to have any UK providers pre-programmed, anyone know the number to program the SIM to?
On my x10 that I got from at&t I flashed unbranded x10I with no effects to 3g. So that doesn't affect it at all. Phone works great so the uk flash should in theory work.

I just checked through PC Companion and it's still telling me that my phone has the latest software. I checked OTA as well with the same result. I'm going to check using SEUS and see if what that tells me.
Where in Canada are you? I'm in Edmonton and nothing yet for me.
Ya same here nothing im in ottawa
Just checked using SEUS and still nothing.
I saw on the Android forum that a couple people in Ottawa got the notification but it doesn't seem to be consistent as other people in the thread said that they weren't getting despite them being from Ottawa as well.
I'm curious if anyone has found a way for those of us with an x10a running x10i firmware to easily trick SEUS into updating for the x10a. I'm currently running the Nordic 2.1 and would love witch to Rogers 2.1 once it's released....anyone have any ideas?
I do recall something about the updates being "staggered" to minimize the load on the servers.

there are several posts on how to " trick " it into taking the update so just wait a bit, someone will post the firmware with the flash tool, same one you used for nordic and you will be all set.
All of the posts I've read indicate we shouldn't mix x10i and x10a codes as SEUS would either not work or ignore the phone. Unless I missed something?

If I understand the posts correctly they are much like the Nokia product or region codes.. with said codes it will tell the server where you are located. So its like a address of sorts.. the server checks the phones and says Oh Hello! You are in Canada here ya go.. or Hallo! Sie sind in Deutschland .. as I said someone will surely post a how to guide. if you mix the codes you will have a phone with firmware from another country well that is my take on it.

Then do us a favor and update the FW from your PC companion/SEUS folder.
somebody will decrypt it.
I just talked to a Rogers technical support representative and was told that the update has been released, but Sony, as usual, did not prepare for the immense traffic and the link to the download is up and down. I was told that we should be able to update later today, but that the only way to check for the update is through PC Companion - it will NOT appear as an OTA notification on the phone.
Hope this helps!

I'm with Tux. I'll wait for some other helpful Rogers user to post the firmware, and then I'll look into flashing to that.
Haven't had any problems with my X10a running Nordic firmware (other than taking longer to get started with market downloads), so I'm not in a huge rush. It would be nice to have proper X10a firmware though.

Well one of us is misunderstanding at this point. I'm not home at the moment and don't have time to link, but the thread in here somewhere states very clearly not to use an x10a CDA if you have an x10i phone as SEUS will not detect the phone. I guess I'll just wait I guess.

That was for 1.6 fw
For 2.1fw Binary (or was Jerpelea) wrote that is ok to use it as SE probably unified the basebands.
Problem is, my 2.1 is crashing about 5 times (or more) daily.

Using the CDA trick works. I have the global X10i firmware on my X10a and changed it's CDA to the generic Brazil one and it gave me the option to repair to the X10a 2.1 generic brazil firmware. I am assuming that the same can be done with the Rogers CDA once it fully goes live.
I didn't do it as I am happy with the global one....no issues.
Just to clarify, I actually work for a particular company that is involved in this, and we were notified that the update was to begin rolling out today.

[Q] Generic X10a 2.1 update for NAM/LAM?

Hi All,
I recently flashed my at&t X10a to X10a R2BA026 0001 CUSTOMIZED GEL/LUSTER WHITE NAM_1. I assume this is the generic for North America. My question is, does anyone know when the 2.1 update for the firmware I specified will be released? Any information would be much appreciated.
Thank you all!
according to SE LAM it'll be ready for this week, they just said 2.1 will be released during the week of nov 15th

X10a Rogers 2.1 Firmware to X10a Generic LAM 2.1

Hi All,
Last night I updated my X10a to 2.1 generic verison(Had 2.1 Rogers Firmware previously). I thought I would put down the process i followed so that it may help X10a users.
1. Step 1 - I used Exploid tool from this post ,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7490733#post7490733 and downgraded the phone from 2.1 Rogers firmware to 1.6 generic LAM version. In the Exploid tool select option 1 which flashes your phone with the 1.6 Generic LAM version.
2. Step 2 - After the flashing is complete disconnect the USB and power up the phone. Now connect the USB back and start SE PC companion.
3. Step 3 - SEPC detects X10a and it says latest software update available. Just follow the instructions from there and you will get Unbranded generic LAM 2.1 firmware on your x10a.
Hope my post helps.

I don't think so. There are two Global Generic firmwares, one for X10i and one for X10a. The one above is the X10a one.
X10a CUST-GEL NAM1 1234-4820 (http://www.multiupload.com/ZGI6JWKIPG)
X10i GLOBAL-GGL GENERIC 1232-9897 (http://www.multiupload.com/9N5BJ7II13)
And of course, here's the Rogers firmware:
X10a ROG-CA NAM1 1233-6929 (http://www.multiupload.com/M048IDMI4L)
I haven't actually downloaded any of these, so I can't be sure that I have the right numbers, but I'm pretty sure they're right.
OK then, sorry, I never heard of this particular version before.
Ok I was not aware that the generic x10a firmware was available. so I posted the steps i did to get the generic one as i do not like the rogers logo on phone
Are the 2 x10a firmwares that are posted the same?
I have a question. Why do you need to downgrade it back to 1.6 first? I flashed 2.1 rogers with generic world 2.1 and it worked fine. No need for extra headache step. There is actually a person who bricked his phone while trying to downgrade lol. So I assume you can easily just flash 2.1 rogers to 2.1 LAM.
Edit: well okay, I guess topic starter wasn't really talking about flashing, my bad but it is a better, easier and faster way to upgrade imho
I actually tried what the topic starter said, but can never pass step 1. Always say wrong deviceid even though I am sure it was correct one.
Is somehow your phone working better on Generic LAM 2.1 on X10a, than Nordic or than Generic UK software?
I wanted to try Generic LAM 2.1 but I really don't know if the process worths it, going to LAM, will work better on network stability (3g/HSDPA), something else?
Thanks all for further info.

The Rogers firmware removes the option to switch between 2G/3.5G.
What does it say on the Service Menu?
I would like to know what it says in the hidden Service Menu, Configuration submenu (the one reached by the L-R combo on the lock screen or the Service Menu apk).
On the 1.6 for AT&T (which should be the same as rogers in this case) it says on the Configuration screen:
Working Band/s:
GSM850, GMS900, GSM1800, GSM1900
UMTS_BS1, UMTS_BS2, UMTS_BS5, UMTS_BS6
Also if you had any issues with APN, Android Market, MM/SMS...... afterwards.

[Q] Australian X10a - Debrand & Update

Hi All,
I've recently purchased an X10 and while its quite a nice phone, I'm sure it would be a hell of a lot nicer if it was running 2.1 - some things which are "missing" in 1.6 have started to annoy me haha.
To this end, it would appear Telstra are about the slowest telco on the planet to release an update. My current firmware is as follows:
X10a
Country: Australia, Brand: Telstra
Phone Software Version: 1227-4612_R2BA023 GENERIC
I understand that if I follow a tutorial such as the "Debrand your Xperia X10 [Tutorial]" on xperiax10.net (google finds it, I'm not allowed to link yet sorry!) and debrand it, SEUS will then automatically update my phone to 2.1 next time I try to update.
Can anyone tell me what is a good X10a firmware for use in Australia? Note that it needs to be X10a since I use an 850MHz "nextg" network. The list on the link above appears to give me a rather limited set of choices, none of which sound generic or australian (what makes latin america latin america??).
If anyone could give me some hints that would be most apprecitated!
Thanks,
Tom

Which no doubt stems from xda, so you might as well use the original guides from here.
X10Flash 2.1 final & 2.1 Firmware (Update Flasher 14.11.2010)
That will debrand and update you to 504 firmware, then you can install xRecovery, then install a prerooted .24 which is the latest FW, which can't be rooted in the usual methods just yet.
And give this a read too - Step By Step Flashing 1.6 - 2.1

Tom, I had exactly the same issue with Telstra. My brother is with Optus and had his months ago. I finally cracked it and de-branded my phone, installed 2.1 and it all went fine. Trust me its worth it. Then i rooted it and have'nt looked back... goo luck mate
Hi,
Thanks for the advice! I followed the tutorial and updated to 504, then flashed again to .24, however on both of these my bluetooth does not work :-/ Windows 7 shows nothing in the services menu and the phone seems to pair with devices but never connect. Also the .24 ROM available appears to have been a X10i ROM, this doesn't seem to have mattered though as 850MHz HSDPA still seems to work.
Any thoughts on fixing bluetooth?
I haven't installed the rooted version btw and I'm not quite sure what xrecovery does? Thanks!!
Fixed BT - turns out it didn't like to talk to my MacBookPro on Windows - updating Boot Camp drivers to 3.2 fixed that.
As for xrecovery, what does it do? And how does one root 0.24?
Thanks for the help!
Tom

You could have saved time and flashed straight to it using SEUS if you didn't want to root.

Allows you to flash to the phone at boot, so you can install custom and user ROMS, themes, and pretty much anything else.

X10Flash 2.1 final & 2.1 Firmware (Update Flasher 14.11.2010)
That will debrand and update you to 504 firmware, then you can install xRecovery, then install a prerooted .24 which is the latest FW, which can't be rooted in the usual methods just yet.

So you need to use the flashtools to flash back to 504, root, install xRecovery, then install the Pre-rooted .24.

1. Watch this tutorial.
2. Go here and download the flash tool and the X10a 2.1 world generic.

Thanks for clarifying - it seems to be working nicely now so I'm pretty happy haha I'll get bored and have a go at rooting it eventually! After putting 504 on SEUS told me I was up to date, but all is good now
