[Q] Dual Touch update without connecting to PC - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, I can't connect my Xperia x10 to my computer to connect to SEUS or even apply the patch for dual touch. Is there a way to do it from memory card. Please go easy I'm a bit dim when it comes to all this stuff. So step by step instructions would be much appriciated

I think that isn't possible.

it never works...

if your phone is rooted you can do it with xrecovery

You can only apply dualtouch with USB or OTA.
It is not possible via xRecovery sorry.

Ota never tells me when an update is available but when I plug it into seus then low and behold an update exists! Still on stock android but rooted until a stable 2.2 or even 2.3 becomes available with everything working.e.g camera and camcorder.thanks for all the help.looks like an ebay order for a data cable is needed.

@adamwilliams. I must be missing something. How do you charge your phone if you don't have a data cable?

Real good question. There are many more mobile phones which use the data cabel of the x10. The lg touch phone has it too. Worth a try

can x10a with nordic fw update to 2.1 with no problems?

i used bin4rys flashtool to flash the nordic firmware onto my at&t x10a (it worked flawlessly btw) ive been seeing posts saying that because mine was originally an x10a i cant upgrade to 2.1 through pc companion. I also read that 2.1 will mess up my 3g, i have my 3g info written down and can manually put it in without any problems so would i still have a problem?

No, bin4ry says the radios are different and whatnot. You didn't read the other threads. Best to wait and let the devs take a look at the firmwares first rather than blindly flashing.
Go back to a legitimate x10a firmware and wait -- otherwise yes there is a possibility that you wont be able to upgrade through SEUS at all.
-.- well in a way this works out cause now i finally have "allow non market access" as an option. Soooo our best option is to wait for a flashtool for 2.1?

It does NOT. You can flash your phone with Nordic but you can NOT go anywhere from there on. Because SEUS will tell you that you have the latest FW and PCC says that can not download the file for you phone,

You sure that'll work? At the end of the day I get an error when SEUS/PC Companion finished the download and wanted to install.
So what I do is use the Global Generic 2.1.A.0.435 Firmware and flash it using FlashTool 0.2.6. I think that should make it official rite?

Just got an update notification

Hey guys,
Just woke up and my X10 had an update notification.
Does someone know what it is?
I'm on 2.1.B.0.1 with bb .52.
Could it be 2.3.3?
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
Probably not because 2.3.3 was said to be through pb companion not OTA
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
It said I should use my computer to update...
But SE didn't post something about an update and I don't want to lose my mods.
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
rest assured- no updates yet. as soon as read your post plugged my X10 to PC- companion says all's up to date. false alarm then!
Ok
When I try SEUS it will save my IMEI and save that my X10 is modded, right?
Also I've heart that SEUS will just update my bb when it's old.
Just posted the thread because it's the first update notification and thought it'd be the 2.3.3 update we're all waiting for.
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
if u have a rooted and modded phone, u won't be able to get the update. the only way for u to get the original SE update to 2.3.3 will be to plug the phone in to PC once the update is out, and choose the option "repair"- it will actually whipe your whole phone (including the system partition as well) and put the newest system available in- therefore, all user data is lost.
I know, I'll just flash it to stock with FlashTool then.
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
and yes, the system will be delivered with automatic update of baseband too, so no worries here.
flashtool or not- u'd have to go back to unmodified, unrooted stock- recently SE stopped the support for rooted phones (which I find kind of a stepback).
Uh, you know that you can make a backup via xrecovery right? Everything will be backup including your bb if I'm not mistaken.

Of course, but updates can be unrootable..
After removing the custom kernel I don't get the message anymore. (I think it was caused by bb .52)

Instead of stock apps you need to use the stock rom from Sony. Try your country and operator specific ROM's from the following link.

I'm sorry but why do you need stock apps to update through Sony? It doesn't make sense. What are you trying to do exactly?
I want to update my phone to the latest x10 update, and in order to do that, you need all the original stock apps on your phone like timescape and others which I removed with titanium backup to free up space on m my phone. Somehow, they disappeared from my list of backed up apps, and without those you cannot update through pc companion. So it's REALLY important. I know someone had a thread posted here before with all the stock apps for download, but I can't find it anywhere... Can someone help pls?

No you don't need any stock apps to do an update.
You need to flash a generic firmware with FlashTool and do it with user data wipe unchecked.
I've never used flashtool before, and I want to stick with the regular pc companion updating. Is this possible?
Sent from my X10a using XDA Premium App
It is possible, PC companion/SEUS would just read your phone.
Because I remember the last time I updated, I tried without reinstalling all the stock apps and it just told me there are no updates available. When I reinstalled them, it updated my phone... Thats why it's really important that I get all those apps back...

Then just flash back to stock and check again.
Anyways, I don't think the SEUS or PC companion recognises your phone by reading the apps in it, instead it should read your firmware number, baseband and kernel version.
In flashing back to stock, wouldn't I lose all my current apps though??
Sent from my X10a using XDA Premium App
Yes, and you still don't need any stock apps to do a flash

But I don't want to lose all my apps... Are you sure I don't need the stock apps to update through pc companion? I wonder why it wouldn't update it for me last time until I reinstalled them all... I also remember someone at xda mentioning that you do need them or sony won't update it...
Sent from my X10a using XDA Premium App
YOU DO NOT NEED STOCK APPS TO UPDATE!!!! Don't you think all of us would be having the same problem as you if that were the case?
You KNOW that even if you flash via PC Companion you will LOSE all your apps and data when you update it right?
Here are your options:
Your phone is rooted right? Download Titanium Backup from the market and backup all your apps. You will have all your apps and data saved. Now update. Once your phone is updated, re-root your phone. Download Titanium Backup again from the Market. Restore your apps and data.
An alternative method is in xrecovery. Backup your current rom in Xrecovery. Once done, update it. Once done, root, install xrecovery and advanced restore your data.
If you want to use PC Companion, without connecting your phone, press update and go through the steps manually, i.e. find your phone and so forth and then connect your phone when it asks you to. If it says you have the latest software, press REPAIR. If that doesn't work, just flash via Flashtool!!!!! If you are so hell bent on using PC companion, just repair via PC Companion after you flashed it with Flashtool.
There have been updates via PC Companion (it's up to v2.0 now) and I think it can tell if you customized your phone a la rooting or custom roms.
Ok thanks. Is using seus better than pc companion? I truthfully want to put gingerbread on my phone, but don't know which rom is best for that on xda... Can you help me? Which is most stable? And how long is the process?? Thanks, much appreciated

Instead of asking and writing here, go try it out. It's much simpler than all this back and forth in questions. It's very simple, start SEUS press accept ToU, chose your device (X10) and do a install. And yes you will lose your data when updating or re-flashing your phone.

Hey, don't worry... The worse that can happen is that you lose your information... I know it sucks, but I think the only way to get it back to work again is to restore the phone's software...
If you have PC Companion installed in your computer all you have to do is turn off the phone (or remove the battery) and then run the PC companion software and clic on update/repair software... then plug your phone by pressing the back button and release the button until the led light turns green... then just follow the on-screen process... it's not that hard!
Let me know if this works out for you!
what do you do before that? and flashmod run or not because there is a siple solution if it run . flash a generic version or use seus but you loose all in your phone
