Hi all,
I am in need of help in order to get my phones main function back up and running. I've tried a 2.1 rom and just installed 2.3.2, both have lost me the function of Texting/Calling which is really frustrating as the city my family is in has just had a 6.3 earthquake in Christchurch NZ..
PLEASE HELP ;(

U probably used the wrong baseband.... if u check it will probably say baseball unknown.... but to be sure we need. More info on what u did and how u tried to do it.
In any case u should just flash a 2. 1 firmware with flashtool and if that doesn't fix ur problem then repair with sues.

Thanks man, I used the baseband that came with the 015 of 2.3.2 gingerbread. My phone says X10A, but the drivers X10I.
If I cant get it going soon I will try 2.1
Could the baseband that came the rom be the wrong one? Ive also updated to 016.
thx
To ensure it works first flash your phone to either the 54 or 55 baseband, then flash the Rom.
I am quite sure that flashing a Rom will not change your baseband, so check the start of the Rom thread for which baseband is required to run the Rom.

The phone has .54 baseband. I've tried 2.1_2_1_A_0_435_GLOBAL and that doesn't work either...
What do I need to do exactly to get any rom to work with my network? If someone could take a few minutes to help, It would be greatly appreciated.
well as you need the phone urgently, id connect it to SEUS and repair back to the original SE firmware, that way you should be able to make your calls to NZ, you can then fiddle around with Roms once youve covered your emergency.

I just tried SEUS twice, but it just keeps coming up with the last installed rom I tried.. This is all very confusing..
If my phone is x10a does that mean I can only rom a x10a and get service in my country?

Hi everyone. For those of you who have an X10a, who's planning on flashing to 2.1 X10i software as soon as it's available?
Bin4ry and MarylandCookie have recommended against it, in favour of waiting for an X10a specific 2.1 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=823115. However, I know we're all impatient and want to get new FW ASAP. We also know that in 1.6 ROMs it was not an issue to have an X10a flashed with X10i FW, and in the end, it didn't seem to affect anything, despite the different basebands.
I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread open for anyone to warn others if it brought disastrous results.
So, let's have it: anyone planning on flashing immediately with 2.1 Nordic?
Just want to add my stuff here
You MAY get Baseband issues. So the firmware and everything else should run well, but depends on the carrier you have you can get problems with 3G.
But i personally think that you will be able to flash back to 1.6 everytime using flashtool again, but that is not 100%. Maybe you have to wait for original X10A 2.1 to correct baseband.
Regards
Bin4ry
No point screwing up your phone not having SEUS support. Just debrand using the latest LAM firmware and wait till the official 2.1 is out.
SE LAM stated last week that they were still on target for a late Oct launch so it wouldn't surprise me if it gets released on Monday.
I am waiting....what is an extra day or two anyways...
Well you should be able to extract the baseband from the LAM f/w and then use the Generic Global
Or just wait for Rogers lol and have a seperate thread for the wait on that!!
No point in taking the risk, chances are that someone will try it right away and post the results within 10 minutes of the update anyways, so I'm going to just sit back and let someone elses phone be the lab rat haha.

Why would X10i users wait for the X10a. Can you quote exactly what it is they "warn against"?

The potential problems are with X10a phones running an X10i rom but you already know that since the title of the thread is phrased correctly. Just want to avoid further confusion there...

He meant x10a users waiting for x10a firmware. Seems to have been a misunderstanding here. This point was referring to x10a users flashing their handsets with the Nordic x10i release of 2.1 but were advised to wait for the LAM release or their Rogers.
Hi guys can please someone let me know whats going on? My question is why u dont advise flashing an x10a with x10i? My phone was originaly the stock rogers one and was x10a but to debrand it i used 026 x10i rom a few months ago and now its 026 x10i global generic. So can i flash this 2.1 rom?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
In a nutshell we had x10a baseband for 1.6 but for 2.1 we dont.
You could try flashing it without the x10i 2.1 baseband but we dont know how that will go down and how that will affect functionality of 3g, radios, mediascape etc so we advised against it. At your own peril .... lol

There are files on those guides to change back to X10a, and it's my understanding that if you've flashed a to i or vice versa you can't use SEUS to update.

My bad. The first X10i should be an X10a. Edited.
As for assurances that it can be reversed... I'm confident that even if it doesn't work, someone here with figure out a way to reflash X10a firmware... but the bottom line is that it is unlikely that it will be irreversible, but we cannot know until someone tries.

man ive been reading this for days on end, and im confused as hell.

Robby don't be mean
(ofcourse they are for that but they aren't supposed to know)
Anyway, I think you're fine mate, as long as you flash back an X10a firmware. People say that SEUS doesn't work if you 'cross-flash' but maybe you can just wait till Sunday evening and see if u don't get any update, and then flash back

IMO, I think we are perfectly fine with the x10i 2.1 version coming out (if we can flash it)
There is a possibility for it to go screwy but I think we proved it won't by using previous x10i roms on x10a. I honestly doubt that they would have changed this, if they were this concerned about it then 2.2 would be out.
I hope my intuitions are correct I'll probably try it first day (just not the first person )
Hey everyone,
Was just wondering if Australia has got this update yet?
Today I thought I might check if it has came yet so I opened up SEUS and checked for updates...
I box did come up and said 2.1 update is here blah blah blah, do you want to install it?
I thought it might brick my phone if I try update it on top of my Rooted x10 so I did i clean factory reset and tried updating it through SEUS again but it doesnt come up anymore?
My phone keeps saying my software is up to date and so does PC Companion and SEUS. ( Phone firmware is still on 1.6 on phone)
I uninstalled SEUS and tried again but same outcome...
Does anyone know why it wont show up when my phone isnt rooted and does when rooted?
Is it even out in Australia yet?
Answers would be very appreciated,
Thank you, Chad.
It shouldnt brick, you need to have your phone rooted, and then to change your region code, Global Generic code works fine.
It shows up with an update for me, but it doesnt actually start downloading :/
How do you change your Region code?
Is there a link you can give me mate, or some information?
yea mate, just look at the first post of this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824711
you could also use as an alternative the global generic code instead of the norwegian code thats put in that thread which is 1232-9897
It appears someone here in Aus has already received the update.
Either that or they aren't the brightest and flashed their X10 and still believe their device is somehow evident of an Optus release...

If you're referring to the network settings which the phone lists as available, the only operators listed are Optus and Virgin.
Other than that I haven't noticed any other operator specific logos/settings.
I need to send my phone back in for warranty (Camera stopped working) i've tried searching the previous threads but all the old methods like omnius dont work (can't download it) I've got the original root packages but that only gets me back to debranded x10i firmware. Kind of a new i've tried using the current flasher made by bin4ry and loading the firmware a_WWE_R1FA014_DEK.zip but i'm not even sure its rogers firmware and it hasnt yeilded me much success.

I'm not 100% sure but I don't think a Rogers branded fw for the x10a was ever uploaded to XDA.
Edit: davinciteam should work too -- man it's been a while since I used that... I used to have a w650 a w800 a w850 and a w900 at different points. Haha.
The newest flasher from bin4ry doesn't work with version 1.6 as far as I know, so you'd have to use the old flasher (from those root packages you have) to flash it.
Unless someone can link to the OEM Rogers fw, your best bet is to go for the debranded one you mentioned in your post, with the older flasher from the root packages.
dude, I replaced mine, sent it back with generic 026, Rogers didn't say a word, I wouldn't stress about it.

Make sure you have download the WWE_R1FA014 for X10a from post # 2 in the following link, and flash it to your x10a with flash tool.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683793
Once that done, connect your x10a with SEUS and perform an update. SEUS should update your Rogers X10a to the latest Roger's firmware version.

Oh thats a good point too. I forgot about that. Evil evil SEUS.
I'm in a similar situation here, my USB connector broke and i need to send it back in. I'm on build 023 and i've also rooted my phone too, i know that voids the warranty for sure. What do you think?
which flash tool and firmware files needed to restore photo to original x10a rogers 1.6 from nordic 2.1 x10i ?
didn't like 2.1 so want to restore my rogers x10a, anyway ?
Hi guys, having headphone jack problems so off to a service centre goes my phone. I've not tried for a while but always struggled getting back to stock. Currently on baseband 71, a stock kernel, I think, it says semcuser and 2.6.29-00054g. Running WB6
It should be UK generic, exactly what should I change to get back there?
Use SEUS to go back stock...
I appreciate your response, but if it were that simple I wouldn't be asking. SEUS has always told me I'm on latest firmware

Hi
A newbie could use some serious help. I have an Xperia X10 2010 model that came up with Android 1.6 which I upgraded to 2.1 last year.
Contract over, got it network unlocked. Now, I was able to remove all gmail acounts except for the one associated with Android. Since I need to pass on this phone to family, I need to get rid of that main account.
If Restoring Factory Settings is an option, I can't use it since it'll throw me back to Android 1.6 and checking for an available android update needs a network to be active.
So here I am, want to remove that one bloody account. And upgrade the device to a faster Android version (2.1 is outdated, slow and sucks big time).
I'd be really thankful to get any kind of hel on this one.
Best
SM
Go to the sony mobile website, download the update centre software and install it, after that plug in your phone and follow the on screen instructions.
could you just use flashtool to flash the generic stock 2.3.3 or 2.1 ROM.
that'll quickly fix your problem
or download over wifi?

So the Falshtool should remove my associated account? And since I have 2.1 currently, flashing would persist the version. Android 2.1 and alter, which one is the most stable version for this model?

A factory reset will not send you back to 1.6 it would factory reset the 2.1. Use this link to get 2.3 and don't this will also remove your google account from the phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=

The latest official version is 2.3.3.
U hv unlocked the network. Doesn't mean u don't hv an active network. It means u can use any service provider's sim in ur phone. Also, I don't think a sim needs to be in the phone to update it.
And factory reset will only reset the settings to the ones which are default in current android version. The settings in ur actual settings menu. eg.: ur accounts, ringtone, display brightness, that kinda stuff. No changes are made to the firmware.
Upgrade to 2.3.3 instead btw. Don't bother staying on 2.1.. use sony PC companion. Connect the phone, start PC companion. It'll tell u by itself there's an update available. Follow the steps.. don't setup an account when it switches on after update. Pass it on to ur family
