back in november when Brazil 2.1 for X10a came out I did the upgrade by changing my default.prop to the Brazil values (1234-4836) from 3 australia and then doing a repair. It upgraded OK (it was the Brazilian version because I had Orkut and a couple of other apps) and was working perfectly. A couple of days ago the android market was upgraded and last night I noticed that they fixed it up. Today when I use the market it causes a reboot and when looking into this I noticed that my phone is now showing it is a X10i. Looking in the build.prop file its showing as X10i_1232-9897 which is GLOBAL-GGL GENERIC. Is this correct in that I upgraded to X10a Brazil software but it is showing as x10i global ?
You probably used the optimizer or something like that? It changes the device to x10i.
yes, jited the phone a week or so ago. Is it going to cause a problem with an x10a being identified as an x10i ?

You can edit the buid.prop(edit this for 2.1) and change it back to X10a and the correct CDA

either the Root Explorer or ADB method will work. Will also get you back to the Brazil updates when they come up
Thanks, I assume where it has ro.product.name=x10i_1235-7379 I change the x10i to x10a (as well as all other ocurrances of x10i) ?

Yes and also change the X10a_XXXX-XXXX to whatever customization you are running.

Yes, there are 3 xxxx-xxxx and six (?) X10x,
Install Service Menu app, under Service Info, Model info you should see X10a,
under Service Info, Software Info, Customization Version should be 1235-7379

Then using root explorer I edited "build.prop" from within the system folder.
I changed
ro.semc.version.cust=xxxx-xxxx
and
ro.product.name=X10_xxxx-xxxx
I changed the xxxx-xxxx to 1232-9897 (World generic)
saved the settings and exited from the file.
I also changed the ro.semc.version.cust=xxxx-xxxx file in...
/etc/customization/settings/cust.prop
saved and exited.
Then I switched the phone off and on again..
Then off one more time..
Then I used SEUS...
It will say that you have the latest software (because you do!).. but if you do a repair then it will replace your current one with the one associated with the codes you entered...
and bingo.. job done..
CODES here..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826875
Make sure you use the first of the codes for your brand/region.
Obviously this only works with firmware that has been released into SEUS.
UPDATE - IF SWITCHING BACK TO A REGION THAT YOU WERE PREVIOUSLY ON YOU WILL NEED TO DO THIS...
(Courtesy of ARKEDK's 1.6-2.1 method!)
Clear out your db folder in either PC Companion or SEUS, which ever one you use.
Press your Windows Key+R or type "run" in your start menu.
Then insert the path to what ever program you use and press enter.
Then delete the folder named with numbers in it.
SEUS db folder can be found here:
Code:
%programfiles%\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\
PC Companion db folder can be found here:
Code:
%programdata%\Sony Ericsson\Update Engine\db\
Reboot your phone and use SEUS to re-install your phone to 2.1.

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.
so basically i have generic x10i uk r2ba020 f/w on my rogers x10a phone..
i kept having problems with wifi and i'm thinking it might be because of the firmware i have currently, so i want to bring it back to x10a (rogers f/w)
however, i've tried the flashtool in jerpelea's thread, the one-click apk file, and they both keep giving me this error
right after i connect the phone in flash mode, i get
'invalid or corrupt 'jar' file'
i can't use omnius because i need to purchase licenses and it's no longer free..
is there any other way for me to get this phone back to x10a??? i'm really worried that i won't even be able to update to 2.1 when the update comes out..
-----------
edit : can't seem to delete this thread...
i couldn't get it working on xp, but after many tries, I got the file working on win7, with one of the problems being the deviceid.txt being saved as unicode not ansi...
anyhow.. everything works now. thanks
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
Please could someone upload the O2 UK firmware. I've been having problems charging my phone so I tried to restore my phone to original settings but it didn't work so then I flashed the generic world firmware which hasn't worked either. I would like to reflash back to stock O2 so I can take it back to the shop.
Many thanks in advance

The version of the firmware that PC Companion installs is determined by the system/build.prop file so if you root the phone and modify the build.prop so it has the correct model number (or just overwrite the build.prop with a suitable one).
PC Companion will then automatically reinstall the O2 firmware version if you go through the Phone Software Update option and do a Repair.
(If your phone is an Xperia Mini Pro I have a suitable build.prop file if you want)

Thanks for your reply. That would be excellent if you could provide me the correct build.prop
A .zip containing the UK O2 Mini Pro (SK17i) file should be attached to this post.
You should be able to use Root Explorer (or similar) to backup the existing build.prop and then replace it with this new one.
After that you just need to reboot the phone then connect it to PC Companion and tell it to repair the current firmware.

you da man!!
Do you have a build.prop or info i need to edit to restore Orange UK on a SK17i?
Ive unbranded my phone and now it wont accept any simcard. So i want to restore it to the network image.
If anyone has a stock Orange UK SK17i flash file that would be awesome..
i have LWW and my SI is listed but when i try to update using pc companion and update service it says my software is the latest.. what may be the problem?
Did you change your build.prop?
For example, in my case I bought a branded phone but changed build.prop to trick SUS to install unbranded software from my region releasing me of operator apk and limitations.
I really believe that for my is irrelevant to check my SI, maybe it's your case.
yeah but i downgrade my rom from .62 to .58 so build.prop is untouched
How did you downgraded?
Because when you change fw you should change Build.prop, I think it install a new one.
The thing is that SUS only install you FW with same specs. Check your Customization number in software info, some examples:
Generic_French_(1251-0622)
Generic_United_Kingdom_(1248-7407)
Generic_Baltic_(1249-8051)
Generic_Nordic_1_(1249-8044) [SE/FI]
Generic_Nordic_2_(1249-8053) [NO/DK/IS]
Generic_Iberia_(1250-2159)
Just take your 8 digit number and search it on google for example and you will know if you changed your build.prop or not (you should remember your original)
EDIT: As an example just to be sure what I was saying I have done the following test:
1º my cust is Generic_Iberia_(1250-2159), no update available.
2º edited build.prop with Generic_French_(1251-0622) because some guys were saying that had updated in France
3º rebooted phone
4º Now it appears that it's possible to update!!!
Clear now?
i downgrade using flashtool, tnx for your help but i cant understand what your saying
I will try to help you but I also need you to do some things.
Search in forum how to access build.prop. I use one tool called ADB MASK CONTROLLER, very easy.
When you open you will find 3 lines with the code (your code should be other xxxx-xxxx, unless you have the Generic Iberia like me):
ro.product.name=SK17i_1250-2159
ro.build.fingerprint=SEMC/SK17i_1250-2159/SK17i:2.3.4/4.0.2.A.0.62/wf_v3w:user/release-keys
ro.semc.version.cust=1250-2159
Change the code, to this for example (the French one in this case, you need to know the one you want to put):
ro.product.name=SK17i_1251-0622
ro.build.fingerprint=SEMC/SK17i_1251-0622/SK17i:2.3.4/4.0.2.A.0.62/wf_v3w:user/release-keys
ro.semc.version.cust=1251-0622
Save and reboot
oh i get it now, thankyou very much for your time
