I recently bought a used x10 from some guy on craigslist. factory reset it got it all working and what not and figured i would try and update it to 2.1. the phone says its updated even though when i go to phone info in the settings it says firmware 1.6. i tried the pc companion but it also says that it is up to date. any ideas with out rooting and running mods?
You've probably got a branded firmware that hasn't been updated yet...
Do a search for debranding and updating to the global generic firmware...
thanks i will try that out and see if it works.

Hi all,
I just got my X10i and its factory unlocked, I have one question. My firmware is still 1.0.14 and SEUS and PC Companion tells me its the most recent firmware. I'm wondering are there anyone else who have a factory unlocked X10i that are still stuck at the 1.0.14 firmware? Also, is it normal for the phone to not have the firmware upgrade despite it being out for around a month ago? Thanks!
I'm in the same boat as you. I'm in the US.
There is another thread that discusses ways to get the newer firmware. Please go search and read up in that thread.

I have a unlocked 10i and I live in the usa and I was able tp get the update. I'm starting to think that getting a update comes down to random luck
Hey Guys,
You may want to verify that the hardware and the firmware match.
When the X10i/a first came out, a solution for debranding became available which entailed using a generic firmware. Unfortunately what ended up happening was that X10a that were flashed to X10i (and vice versa) were said to be no longer supported by SEUS.
Remove your battery and verify that it's an X10i, then go to your service menu and verify that the firmware is also for an X10i.
If the two do not match, don't worry...there is a way to fix it;

Thanks for the responses! I'm pretty sure mines is an X10i running on generic firmware as its factory unlocked to begin with. On a side note I checked the service menu and under Model Info and it says, "Brand: Customized", what does this mean? I'm starting to think the updates depend on version of the phone. I have a Singapore version so that's probably why I can't update yet.
very nice sir
i want to update.my phone is only vibrate, sometime power on butwithy sim
restart ? Any idea?

(Disclaimer: Haven't tried it myself, as I'm at work)
[edit] Working now for Generic UK over SEUS - If you're still not seeing an update, try uninstalling SEUS and downloading the latest version
no update for my mini yet (uk generic)
maybe today but later?
for xperia x10i the updates are already out
No luck here using UK generic f/w but not in the UK. Mini Pro.
i just got my x10 mini on three branded today first thing i did was debrand it to uk generic with the build.prop all worked well gonna try this update now hope its there now is this for uk generic?
just tried it now uk generic 2.1 firmware update yet. @ 1450pm
Oh well
Maybe it'll really be live by the time I get home this evening
I can confirm that my mate got the update for his generic X10 today. However as of yet nothing on my Mrs X10 mini pro.
on a facebook answer se confirms that today(in a few hours) tha mini update will be ready for download
I wasn't able to wait this long knowing that a flashable 2.1 version was available
Seem like it's just for the X10, but not the mini yet...
From SE UK twitter page:
@TrueSaiyan Your X10 mini should be ready to update in the next few hours, let us know if it doesn't so we can look into it. 13 minutes ago via CoTweet in reply to TrueSaiyan
its out for me!!
pity i left my USB cable at my girlfriends lol, when i check for update via wifi it says an update is available but needs to be done from a PC, it MUST be 2.1!
Not available for me OTA, SEUS or PCC.
Checking for updates doesn't show anything new yet.
I'm guessing it's not coming today at all.
When the Nordic one came out a week ago, I think it was about 8:30pm...
Are there any benefits whatsoever to use uk generic instead of nordic?

Any uk users got the update is it officially out now?
I think it will be available this weekend at some point, but who knows when!

We have two debranded UK Orange x10 mini using the generic build.prop that's kicking about.
We're waiting - tried update on phone and PC companion.
side note : can someone confirm 1237-0392 is the correct code for x10 mini e10i uk generic please.
How do you check what generic firmware you have and which one is the proper uk generic firmware?
CAN FINALLY CONFIRM THE UPDATE IS AVAILABLE IN THE UK.
I de-branded my phone to the generic CDF, SEUS said i had the latest update, when i clicked reinstall in downloaded the new update and now I have android 2.1
enjoy all owners
p.s. I have the mini pro
Please if someone own this version I need it very because my hardware keyboard id dead, and I want to send my X10mini pro back to my dealer, and this version was on phone when I bought it.
Without this version they wont accept my warrnity!
I tried searching for it everywhere but can't found nothing!
HELP!
Flash your phone via sony ericsson update service, your phone updated to android 2.1, baseband ...015.
Only way is with flashtool, but you need the android 1.6 .sin or .ftf files and i don't know where to get those.
I won't believe that they only take it back in version 1.6. version 2.1 is an official release and thus they should take it back for warranty issues.

Hi..and thx for replay.
The problem is that my phone haven't update from SEUS.
I try more times to flash from v1.6 and SEUS said that I have the last version on my phone (in my country).
I read om few forums that people complain that SE won't make update for our country and they have not courage to flash with other ROM because of warranty..
Because of that I looking for this version of ROM!
I have a backup of this version but no way to install it back because of Xrecovery version. I made it with lower ver than v0.3 and now everytime I restore it back it stayed on Sonyericsson logo.
Its not a update and were not talking about pc companion we are talking about se update centrer ,,,its diferent it works every ware on all sony phones check it out again

I know that we talking about SEUS update center..Who mentioned PC Companion?
Now when I broke up my warranty, a I can to upgrade to 2.1.1.A.06 from any version!
But with version 1.6 (I tried once mounht ago) I can not!
As as mentioned in post above, I found lot of post from serbian forum where people complain the SEUS updater have not newer version for our country!
When you try to update it comes the message from SEUS: You have the latest version!
I see the X10 is getting an update to 2.3 my question is I have a custom rom for 2.1 and am wandering if pc companion will update it or if i will have to debrand and reflash to old stock att 1.6 to get the newest update
First, you will not get the update running AT&T branded firmware. You need to be running the 2.1 generic firmware that gets the update. There are different theories on what regions/kits will get the update first. Global Generic is my guess, but unknown13x says Europe first.
Basically, don't do anything till the update is released. It's all speculative at this point.
Btw, all the gingerbread info is in the "sticky" thread at the top of the general section. Look there for future info, as this thread may get closed by mods.
For those who are running AT&T branded 2.1 or 1.6 firmware, here is a step by step guide for unbranding to global generic 2.1.A.0.435, which will get the official 2.3.3 Gingerbread update directly from PC Companion or SEUS when available......

Sorry to burst your bubble, but AT&T will NOT be updating the X10.
They are ONLY updating phones released in 2011 to Gingerbread.
