@ Greg
Just connect the phone (X10) to your PC and it will pop up with different installations. Install the Sony Ericsson PC Companion and it will tell you that there’s an update ready.
Then follow the instructions. This is a firmware update!
That worked for me!
My version is 1.0.16"
My phone allready have 1.0.16... (not upgraded it)
I also want it !
hhhmmmmmm, the fun that ill have come tuesday!!
Yes there is a 16 update around and no i can't update to it either...maybe it's generic vs carrier again - that's why we need root/custom roms!
I've got the .16 upgrade on my phone, I don't notice much of a change though.
firmware update

even iam from india iam on .14 but whenever i check it states "firmware is upto-date".
Just upgraded mine from 14 to 16 last night by using Sony Ericsson Update Service. This is a baseband firmware update, so you won't be able to update via Android's update firmware feature.
Hello, in france, via SEUS the latest FW is still the 1.0.14. And I still have poping and cracking. Hope the 1.0.16 solve this issue.
Best regards
I'm located in Belgium and I also can't update to .16 software.
boy does this phone need 2.1!!!!!!!!!! its a gonner without it i am afraid. functionality and stability from 2.1 firmware will bring out the beast in this phone. 1.6 right now is too limited for what this phone is capable off so SONY dont let us wait too long! i know min issue would be adding media and timescape to 2.1 but it needs to be done!
Mine is a Vodafone UK Handset, SEUS is saying mine is up to date.
Model X10i
BaseBand. 1.0.14
Kerbel Verison. 2.6.29-rel

Looks like Vodafone are lagging with a firmware release.

Go to Sonys webbpage, dowload and install the software update service, follow the guide for X10 and install the latest update. It is easy to do and the last firmware is 1.0.16
Any Q?? you just ask.
Regards.

Ive done all that, it says my phone has the latest firmware on it. Currently i have firmware 1.0.14
Is this another delay with Vodafone being slow to release software?
No this is Sony Ericson soft and has nothing to do with Vodaphone. I just ran the program my self and had no problem at all. Just try it again.

It has more than you think. If the phone is branded then Vodaphone has to approve the update before it can be delivered through SEUS.
This is the same issue i'm facing with 3 Denmark, the phone has ONE extra app(3MobileTV) BUT that means that 3DK has to approve ALL software updates from SE before it can be installed...
This is why we desperately need root/custom roms
Ok, thank´s for updating me on that. But i still think it´s strange.

Heya
Basically im on Orange in the UK on firmware version 1.6, build number R2BA020,
I have seen various posts on the site saying 026, my question is why have i not had this update, am i supposed to get it as seus says its up to date. My phone as far as i know has no branding, Im confused, any reason why i am still on the 020 build with baseband version 1.1.25.
Thanks
Vengeance
Run the repair option using PC Companion as some have said that has brought the newer fw.
Hi - I believe that the Orange handsets are branded - there's just no obvious sign of it!.. I think it's just Orange wanting to carefully (over carefully!) control the distribution of f/w to their phones... Wouldn't worry about 026 now - may as well wait for And 2.1.. Having said that - if you want 2.1 anytime soon you may need to debrand..
Suggest you contact Orange and ask them when they will be releasing the 2.1 f/w.

How very nice of them to secretly brand my phone -_-
Recommended way to debrand?
So, as most of us went to Nordic 2.1 x10 mini pro update I would like to get back to 1.6 (preferably to original O2 Germany version but any version will do).
I have tried editing build.prop in 2.1 to values 1239-2971 (these values were from my original build.prop in 1.6) but SE Update Service says that there is no new updates. I guess that this doesn't work anymore
So, is there any old software backup of 1.6 available for downgrade?
Try deleting the db folder in /Update Service inside your program files
That doesn't work.
I could try putting 1.6 build.prop (original one that I had before editing and updating) but I am afraid not to brick my phone.
Is this safe to do?

Don´t do this. I tried it already. Doesn´t work, and will put your phone in a boot loop.

May I ask why you want to go back to 1.6? Is there something not right with the 2.1 upgrade?
I don't have it yet and am not sure if I want to upgrade if it is so hard to downgrade.
________________________________
edit: I have found the list of issues with 2.1. I will follow this thread to find out how to downgrade if I'm not satisfied with 2.1.

I´ve paid to Davinci to downgrade to 1.6 because of the keyboard issues. I use Palm Graffiti in portrait mode and with my physical keyboard already being german, having Swedish layout on top of it was too much. Will wait for German update to be available. Otherwise no problems at all, only benefits - better battery handling in 2.1 etc.
Ok, thanks for letting me know.
It doesn't have any big problems, but as vlissine said there is this annoying thing with the keyboard. And as german update to 2.1 is coming out soon I would like to get back to original 1.6 version.
Also, I don't know is there any difference in Marketplace between countries. For example one application could be present on german version, but not on nordic.
At first glance there is not that much big of a difference so that you MUST switch to 2.1 immediately, except if the nordic version is suitable for your use.
Hm, no, I'm not planning to go nordic, I will wait for the update to come to Belgium.
u should try omnius instead of davinci. they charge per day of use rather than per flash and its cheaper

I did omnius when I unbranded my phone. This time I used Davinci just to compare. Omnius has one disadvantage - you have to chase their dealers to get credits credited onto your account while at Davinci it is straightforward and immediate.
Also charge per day might be interesting for those who want to flas a bunch of phones, not just one. But I agree omnius is cheaper and is as good as.

When Locale updates arrive, changing your build.prop to your generic one, and then using SEUS to repair your phone would do the trick. You will be changed to your local 2.1

I tried just to test to change Nordic into Russian by using this technique. Didn´t work.
I manage to downgrade to 1.6 for FREE. lol
Just download the FW for u20i NL 1.6 here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827273 and use the Flashtool from Binary's post.
Thanks zanndoth, this worked for me very well.
Unfortunally it doesn't works for me. Did al the steps (downloading flashtool etc.) but when I startup my phone I get the animating splash screen en after that a 'frozen' SE logo.... Still there after 15 minutes... Can someone help?
Ok, finally, after waiting longer, it finally works.
Thanks to you all!
Ok so I tried updating my australian (3) X10minipro to uk generic. Sony companion tells me it was upto date.
Not a problem I thought, well I must have the uk firmware...
So I went ahead and edited build.prop again to install 2.1. Same problem? Sony companion tells me the phone is upto date.
Thats ok I went and tried to force repair of phone but now im told:
"unable to download your phone software. please check your internet or try again later."
Screenshot:

Any help appreciated. Have I done something wrong. I am using the build.prop out of a thread in this forum.
Thanks
Hmm now I'm trying to edit my build.prop to the uk one again. So I can try force restore on that then try the 2.1 firmware again.
rm build.prop
rm failed for build.prop, Read-only file system
Any idea on this too? It's all so frustrating no-one else seems to be having any problems.
The update is not yet available anywhere else than the nordic countries... It will be more widely available in the next weeks... Changing to UK f/w won't help...
That is correct. I am trying to update my australian x10 mini to nordic firmware. This is entirely possible.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824766
Are you a sony ericsson representative?
ok. Got the uk prop file on the phone. i used root explorer to mount the filesystems read write. same original error now.
pc companion download error.
im lost now... what am i doing wrong
I can only tell you that changing to UK prop won't help because 2.1 has (to the best of my knowledge) not been released in the UK yet.
But dont I need uk generic before doing an update to nordic 2.1?
That's true... I'm awaiting as well. I have the UK generic ROM... I thought will be the first one, but most of us were wrong...

You need a nordic generic to update to nordic 2.1.
UK is not a nordic country (serious apologies if that comes across as patronising)

How do you know if you have the UK Generic rom?
I got my mini pro on o2 last week but there is no o2 branding at all on it.
Get into secret menu (on locked screen push: home, back, back, home, back, home, home, back) and then in Software Info if you have the customization version: 137-392_R8A, if not, yours isn't unbranded, it's a custom o2 rom.

Ive tried to debrand but it keeps saying my software is up to date.
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.
Sent from my ST18i using Tapatalk 2
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.
