Hi guys,
I recently saw happyandy93's posting about being able to flash his X10a phone running X10i firmware back to using X10a firmware. Here's his reply when I asked him how us mere mortals can do fix this as well. I've not tried this yet, but I he says this should work and it worked for him apparently.

yeah np.
if you want to post this in a thread that'b great i don't have tha much time but i'll quickly let you know the steps.
so first thing first head over to this site,
http://www.omnius-server.com/news_omnius_v0_03
make an account for the software and once the software is installed add your account information under "settings > server settings".
now thats the first step, the second is to get the correct firmware in your case it'b this decrypted rom:
http://hotfile.com/dl/43225669/598add6/a_WWE_R1FA014_DEK.zip.html
once that is downloaded extract the phone.zip and the android_xx.zip from that archive into a place where you know you'll find it.
head back into the software, and select identify, than follow the instructions it gives you. once it is identified, boot the phone back up into android. than click flash, choose the two roms:
http://img203.imageshack.us/i/flashy.png/
phone.zip goes into the "application box" and the android_xx.zip goes into the cusomization file.
hope this all works for ya, if you have any problems let me know.

I for one would like to see which method he is using. Ive tried some others with no luck thus far.

search the x10 general forum, the method to do it is in there somewhere. next time please do a search =\
You guys may not know, but the method that was already on the forum did not work, because the files that were provided are outdated now.
This is the new method that works to rebrand your X10 either to X10i or X10a original firmware.
Ya actually there are two previous methods and neither of them work anymore due too, from what i understand, the latest update to SEUS. However the second link for the dowload via hotfile on this method is dead. I get "Error 404". Would appreciate a reupload.

Fixed link. Sorry, I just copied and pasted it.
Thanks pally777. I will be rebranding and then debranding with the correct firmware in the next day or two. This method essentially wipes you phone clean and then reinstalls, rather flashes the generic x10a firmware....right?

That's how I understand it. I've started up the flashing tool and it looks pretty straight forward to use, but I've not done this yet.
There is a risk that it may not work, but then it seems Andy has gotten it to work and it seems the developers doing the rooting are also using this tool.
Xperia x10i firmware?
Hi!
Pls, could you tell me where can i get x10i decrypted rom firmware?
Thanks a lot!
You can download them in this forum in the decryted x10 roms thread.

Thanks so much
Thank you soo much ! I had a X10i @ SO-01B and I can tell you it works flawlessly, you saved me money from going to a store and getting it fixed there !
Glad to hear it works! I will probably do this when the Android 2.1 comes out for our phone... otherwise, no point in me going back to X10a firmware for now.
Anyone who has done this, which files from the unziped Android and Phone zip files do you have to put into the Omnius application? Im assuming the .sin files are important, but what about the xml document file, update file, metadata movie file, and there is a .ta file in there too? Little more specifics before I attempt this please. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Ok it worked for me. After you're done and start up the phone for the first time it takes a while for it to get going there. I was getting a bit nervous (might have peed a little) but then it started up and ill have to admit I was glad to see the "Rogers" branded startup screen. Thanks happyandy and pally777. Most appreciated. Oh, and just get rid of all the panicy PM's I sent you
K. Now that ive successfully rebranded to x10a I get my rogers startup page and everything seems fine with the phone. However i was hoping to debrand again (with the right fw or course) but pc companion stops when trying to install the update service. I get an error. SEUS works fine however. Is it possible to debrand using SEUS instead of pc companion?
Glad to hear that everything works! I might do this when they release X10a Android 2.1, because I'm liking the X10i firmware for battery life. Hopefully, I can still follow this process then to re-brand!
As for debranding, I used SEUS and not PC Companion. If you follow the same method that Lollylost posted, it should work. Just that the folders you'll be putting the files in are found in the SEUS folder instead of the PC Companion folders.
Many thanks. I finally got to work and im happily debranded again with the newest X10a firmware. Thanks again for the help. One question though. When the 2.1 update is released will i be able to update now that i am debranded?

also you can update to latest R1FB001 firmware
Yes thanks again for getting me off in the right direction Jerpelea. I have successfully flashed R1FB010 to my X10a and it seems to be running fine. had to add the APN settings manually but no problem. Just curious if you have any way of getting R2BA016 (released in China), or have heard of anyone using R2BA020? Some are talking about it on some other forums, although there is some speculation as to whether or not it actually exists. Just curious

im planning on rebranding my x10 back to x10a. if i use this method will it delete all my info and data? should i back up my data? how do i back up my phone? thanks for the help, greatly appreciated!
So I bought my X10a on Ebay which is branded Rogers from Canada. I have AT&T in the U.S. The phone was sold as "Unlocked" and it worked simply by putting in my, but my 3G isnt working, which leads me to believe I need to switch to an American firmware to get 3G working. I understand how to flash my phone, but which firmware should I use for the best performance? I have heard around here that the U.S. AT&T firmware dramatically slows down the performance. Is there a "Generic U.S. firmware" that I should use? Should I use the Global Generic Firmware that everybody else seems to be using? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Just enter your APN settings manually (see below). Or you can flash the X10a 2.1 world generic from here (you still have to enter the APN settings manually as below)
Go to Settings -> Wireless Controls -> Mobile Networks-> Access Point Names
Add a new APN. Don’t forget to Save the new APN by pressing the “more” button! Once you do this, you must select the newly created Internet APN.
Lastly, make sure there are no extra spaces after entering any of these values, else your 3G won’t work.

Note: If you flash to generic FW you will see an "H" rather than the "3G" icon in the task bar. This is normal as H stands for HSPA which you can consider as 3.5G (or what in the U.S. they falsely advertise as 4G)
1st of all, thanks for your help! Above my reception thingy, my receptometer thing says "H". I thought HSPA was 2G! Should I just flash to the World Generic firmware and call it a day?

The global firmware 1420-4820 here works great. You'll unbrand your phone so you won't be blocked by ATT from non market apps. However, I have found that 1234-4836 global generic Brazil is a better match for ATT. It gives you google voice search that the firmware here doesnt. There is some agruememt that you can download that app from the Market, but I couldn't because it is only available for Froyo 2.2 in USA and we have 2.1.
I couldn't find the generic Brazil firmware here, so I flashed the generic global from xda, and then rebranded from 1234-4820 to 1234-4836. I put a thread on how to do it in the general section of this Xperia X10 forum. I'd provide a link to it here but I'm on my phone. It's titled "x10a Big Differences in global generic firmware..... "
You'll be happy with the generic global, but voice search is my favorite new app. It searches internally contacts, apps, mms, and externally web, market etc.
Hope this helps.

Did you flash 2.1 global generic first? Voice search wont work if you still are running 1.6 Rogers.
I used the voice search 2.1 app link Batman kindly provided last night to update my voice search 1.4 that came with 1234-4836 generic Brazil, so you should be able to use it on 1234-4820 flash that Batman pointed to in his post " here ", and skip the rebranding part altogether.
If you can't get the voice search 2.1 apk download to work, then try rebranding. You'll need Root Explorer from the market, which isn't free anymore. :-( Or a root explorer that gives you write permissions R/W. Long press on build.prop file in /system and open in text editor and change all (3) 1234-4820 to 1234-4836, save and close. Do the same in the default.prop file. Then repair software with PC Companion or SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service)

X10a is Americas and X10i is international. X10i 2.0.2.0.A.0.24 has the newest update, but there isn't enough difference in the update for me to change to. They should be updating X10a soon as well soon, and I prefer mine to be X10a because my phone is under warranty. My X10a is smooth and fast and i don't have any of the problems with the Market, network connection, battery drain, or random rebooting that I have read others with X10i have. Also Quadrant score on my X10a 2.0.2.A.0.504 is 815 and Linpack is 35 with JIT and bloatware removed (timescape, backup & restore, Okrut, Moxier, Play Now, etc.). Which is just as good or better than what updated X10i with JIT and no bloatware is reporting. If ATT does ever update, possibly Froyo or Gingerbread, it will be X10a. However, there does seem to be more support for X10i on xda, so it's a personal decision.

I'm a failure I cant figure out how to run the flash tool correctly. I was tryin to use X10Flash from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827065
Heres what I did: I downloaded x10Flash 2.1.zip and when I opened it, I couldnt figure out how to run it. The directions say "Just add a new folder to the MAIN FOLDER of Flashtool which contains the firmware." But I dont see any folder that has any firmware. If I knew how to post a picture on here, I would, but here's the files and folders that are listed:
x10flasher_lib
Newest
custom
x10flasher.jar
x10flash.bat
USBflash.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
AdbWinApi.dll
adb.exe
If I click on adb.exe, the folder extracts then a MS-DOS window pops up for a millisecond and says "The system cannot find the path specified." Theres no folder that says "Flash" or "Firmware". If anyone could tell me which file path follow so I can get this flasher working, that'd be way awesome!
Ok, so i read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825201 and decided that I needed to make a new folder, download the x10a Generic firmware,and put it in my newly created folder... so now what? I'm running Windows 7 if that means anything.
Here's another question: am I supposed to be running this program from my phone and not my computer?
Do I need to flash my phone if it has already been rooted, in order to install custom roms?
Sorry if this is a dumb question but I am not very good at this stuff as I am just learning.

Hi,
I found my X10i is always restart itself everytime it connected to 3G network (can use only 2G/EDGE), I'm try to look for similar threads in this forum and other forum but not found the solution,
Can anyone here help me pls
Thanks in advance.
Need more info. Are you on stock ROM or custom? are you using a custom kernel? how exactly does it happen? is it when it switches from wifi to 3g or just when 3g engages? what exactly is the circumstance that causes it? this kind of info is necessary to help diagnose your problem.
Sent From My *Super Fly X10*
If I (or anyone for that matter!) help you, dont be afraid to press THANKS!
I use Stock Rom
- FW#2.1.1.A.0.6
- Baseband 2.1.58
- Kernel Version 2.6.29
The problem occur when I swith from 2G (EDGE/GPRS) to 3G (900Hz). It's can run for awile then if I or some program connet to 3G the machine will not respond anymore then it restart itself. Now I can use only 2G
My X10i didn't have any accident like fallen, Normally use only.
You might just want to install a custom ROM or try a reflash. I don't know what would cause your phone to reboot just from connecting to 3g like that. I haven't heard of this happening before but I will say that using custom ROMs is easier than you'd think and you can always flash back if you need the warranty. Its impossible to brick the X10 under most circumstances so don't be intimidated. The custom ROMs are real stable now and have nearly full functionality and features and are fully supported. If you decide to go custom you'll be blown away with the improvement and will wonder why you didnt do it sooner. I flashed my 60yo dad's X10 to Wolfbreaks ROM and all he keeps saying is "this is so much better" and he couldn't care a whole lot less about his phone

I suggest u to using fw 2.1 bb67 global generic, coz this problem happening to me too. Its work for me. Now im using 2.1 bb 67 on stock ROM.
After flash fw 2.1 bb 67, install no-frill and set cpu max to 768mhz to keep your cpu and battery not to hot.
But your device maybe still got random reboot if your cpu work to hard, like playing game.
Please remember, keep your cpu to not work hard and battery not become heat.
Edit:
Custom rom/kernel dosent help for me. Unlock/lock bootloader still dosent solve my problem, just downgrade and kept cpu+battery not too hot.
Its looks hapening because some parts,maybe cpu or signal chip getting weaks.

finally i found the main proublem of my x10 randoom reboots, its came from hardaware failure (mainboard).
the solving is, change our board with a new one. bring to se shop and asking them to replace.
So I just bought the Xperia Go ST27a (note the "a"). My question is, will rooting the Xperia Go with firmware meant for ST27i work on ST27a? As far as I can tell, the only difference between the two is that ST27a uses different 3G frequencies. So while I think it would be safe to do so, I wanted to ask first before possibly messing up my phone.
So before I try doing this, does anyone know for sure if custom rooting for ST27i will work the same way (same files used) for the ST27a?
Rooting methods are same for a and I versions....jUst make sure that if you are flashing something using flashtool, you should check the exclude baseband option...(the one on right sidde of flashtool)(the option shouldbe ticked)

Thanks for the reply and thank you for giving me a heads up about exluding the baseband option (would not have done this if wasn't told to). Since it seems you sent the post from the ST25a, I think this is much more credible. Will try rooting and updating to ICS (not in that order) tonight. Any builds found on XDA that you would recommend?
I believe I saw CM7 or CM9 available, will probably start from there.
Update:
As a follow up, I can now confirm that rooting methods and firmware/kernel upgrades for the ST27i also work with ST27a. I haven't been adventurous enough to try installing ICS yet though for ST27a, but I might get around to doing it. Not quite sure if I will do it soon though, because I honestly can't see the use of me upgrading to ICS because 2.3.7 works well for me. I'm not sure I really want to risk upgrading to ICS when it was designed for the ST27i, especially when the current GB 2.3.7 works perfectly fine.

Hello all,first of all before i posted this thread i read alot on xda, google and other stuff and tried to find answers.
Here is a lil bit info about my phone
1)well my last thread i posted is aboyt over heating problem and cpu control and no one actually helped my there,just one kind man told my about GETRIL app that checks if your ril matches your baseband because it is responsible foe the signal so this was my result:
Can someone tell why the hell they dont match?

1. Your attachments are not working so you need to post the information about yur phone.
2. Custom rom creator may have have used a different modem (baseband0 from what came with the stock kernal. ril was for the stock modem not everybody remembers to update the ril when changing the modem.
3. what rom you use is your preference nobody can really tell you what is best.
cm nightly basically means the rom is recreated every night with fixes and latest firmware out. Others are created with the firmware that was leaked at the time of creation and updated with fixes only basic rom structure is not changed.
4. cwm may not have made a proper nandroid back up, you would need a computer to check why the md5 did copy properly.
i fixed the attached pics,so can you please have a loook and tell me what you think?
and what rom do you recommended? and what kerenel do you think is the best?

1. you have a t mobile model, so that will make it a little more difficult to flash. As the file structure is slightly different from the international version.
2. ril is easily fixed, just download the recommended version.
3. you may have deleted some files that are shared. I believe T mobile needs certain branded files to work properly.
4. Kernal try siyah, it helps with most phones.
5. Rom I can not recommend any because I am not sure what will work safely on a t mobile phone.
thanks for your help!
1)what the deiffrence between t version and the others?
2)i downloaded the ril tyo can see that it is match in the pic,i think that i need to change my baseband but i dont know how and i dont know if it worth the risk.
3)should i download cm10 do you think it will improve my battery life and my system preformance?
and again thank you for your help

1. difference is file structure and the fact that tmobile operates on the 1700 band instead of the 1900 band.
2. click on download and install recommend ril, it will install the proper files. you do not need to touch or change anything else.
3. before downloading cm10 check to see if tmobile is supported. if you make a mistake especially where the basdeband is concerned, you phone will not operate properly.

1. Not correct. The I9100T is not the T-mobile USA version. It is, in fact, nearly identical to the I9100, but differs only in SAR values, so I9100T modems tend to work better than I9100 modems. But otherwise, receives the same frequencies.
3. Again, I9100T is not the T-mobile version. As above, it receives the same frequencies as the I9100, so it also does not get 3/4g on T-mobile USA's network, unless that market has had the 1900mhz frequency refarmed to carry high speed data.
The T-mobile Galaxy S2 is the SGH-T989.
The GT-I9100T is sold internationally, mostly in Australia and Asia, from what I understand.
i already downloaded and installed the ril and it is still saying that there is bo match.
abd about the 9100T basicly everything that work on 9100 should work on the t version right?
and again thanks for the help

Yes. But you may need to flash a modem meant for the i9100T afterwards to get good signal.
