Download the FlashTool and the latest X10a firmware (2.1.A.0.435), flash it with the FlashTool, done
You can find everything in the X10's Android Development subforum.

Hi How to update from Sony Ericsson Xperia X10i firmware 1.6 to the latest firmware when the procedures to do it r absolutely STUPID I mean has any 1 got a video that May help me to update to the latest firmware .
Thks in Advance .
The instructions are fine mate. I'm no developer by any means, but i'ved managed to make 3 updates following different instructions. Just follow them word for word and dont rush it.
I agree with above, the procedure is very simple and atm you cannot upgrade past 1.6
Hi, to upgrade your build (Settings > About Phone > Build Number) R2BA026 being the latest, just download SEUS and follow instructions and you will have the latest official build and then to root, download Universal AndRoot from the market, click on root and you are done....
To change from 1.6 to 2.1 you'll have to wait (hopefully) a few weeks...

Flashing android 2.1 generic u.k rom

Hi I just got an x10 for a relative because it was a really cheap deal. It has 3 branded android 1.6 software still on it. Can anyone tell me where to get the generic uk software and what to use to flash it onto the phone. I was going to use Omnius to flash it but they don't have generic uk on there, just generic global and some other generic international.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Can you not just use SEUS or PC Companion to update this to the latest 2.1 software?
Both of those progs are available from the SE website.
I would go with that for a quick official fix
Failing this look for Flash Tool in this forum and follow the guide.
Flashtool is available from here along with the generic firmware for the x10i
Moved to proper forum.
Thanks for your reply. I have upgraded it to 2.1 using seus but as i said in my first post. its branded to 3 and i want to have unbranded generic software so that i can upgrade to 2.3 when that arrives
Just click on the link that I put into my first post to flashtool ... on that page you can download global generic firmware and flashtool to flash it with.
THere is also an excellent tutorial on how to use flashtool by rendeiro2005 here

[Q] Confused over which Firmware to flash

hello guys,
have got SE xperia x10 from US,
have unlocked the same from AT&T to make it generic.
currently running on android 2.1
Firmware version
2.1 update 1
Baseband version
2.1.54
Kernel version
2.6.29
Build Number
2.1.A.0.435
I want to install xrecovery on my X10i, which i am unable uptill now.
My x1o is rooted somedays ago thru superoneclick.
can anyone suggest me the exact firmware to flash in my phone as i have unlocked my phone which was previously x10a US AT&T... and now its x10i generic.
Thanks.
You can install: http://www.multiupload.com/SR8R1B5KII
Using: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
That's x10a AM-US GB 1233-822
US generic Gingerbread for x10a.
You can then root using: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196421
And install xrecovery right after you're done and booted up.(You have to choose ask root perms on flashtool first before you can)
The option should be enabled on flashtool when you boot up.
Thanks Dark Nightmare,
done!!!.... kudos to the flash tool owners...
had a small prob after i had flashed the fw...
the phone wasnt detecting the memory card even if i had formated the same on the PC...
tried my memory card on other smart fone, and it worked perfectly fine...
solution: format in a nokia fone and u r done.... everything works perfectly after that....

miniCM7 2.1.9 rom compatibility with my u20i

Hi there. I am advised to with this rom and nAa 11 (kernel). I see it's good advice since there is a lot of people enjoying this rom. However today when i checked rom installation requirements i noticed somethig.
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415026
They say that phone need to have:
Requirements:
Latest 2.1.1.A.0.6/2.1.1.C.0.0 SE firmware / Baseband: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
But my phone is:
firmware 2.0.A.0.504 and baseband is
M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-534040056
Am i going to get in to trouble if i upload this rom anyway?
Thanks in advance
1. try updating with flash tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=986692 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826455
a good guide for flashtool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
2. alternately download pc companion: http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup...ject/pccompanion/xperiax10minipro?cc=ph&lc=en
and update you phone software.
3. use seus but i cant find the link to download.
because if you dont it wont work and as they always say "I wont be held responsible if you brick you phone"
You have to use the correct firmware and baseband. Otherwise will have problems.
I flash a few roms with the wrong baseband and had a lots of problems of stability.
Now I have MiniCM7-2.1.9, with nAa-11 kernel and works perfect.
Ok thanks. I'll try to find that firmware version and flash it before i continue with kernel and rom. Do you have any link to where i could find these firmware versions?

4.1.B.0.587 SK17i Generic Firmware

I never stopped using my SK17i, I've had at least 10 of them over the years, but recently I lost it and had to get a replacement.
I found a brand new one on ebay, but it has 4.0.2.A.0.58 FW.
I used to have all the SK17i FW saved, so I could re-flash any replacements I got, but my HDD crashed and I lost them all.
Does anyone have the last .587 FW... the 'generic world' version... not the vodafone or india one?

As I said in other thread, I'm not sure which one you exactly are looking for (some are customized for MEA and for India, first two links are most likely generic .587 FW). Please note that I have not tested any of those as I don't have Mini Pro. I just googled the links. Best of luck and let us know if it worked.
Thank you mate, I'm in UK so was looking for the "generic world" one, I got the first 2 you posted on download, thanks.
Hello,
I got a totaly stock phone, I read trough some topic, but don't know how to flash this generic firmware.
Android ver:2.3.3 Build:4.0.A.2.235
But I can not do nothing (log in google etc) this android version is so old, I would like to try first the last factory firmware, I guess this is it. How could I Flash to the phone?
Thanks in advance!
ts easy peasy to do, but you need the correct adb/fastboot drivers and flashtool versions, and that parts a nightmare.
I normally have to do this every couple of years if/when I lose or drop/break my phone and can never remember how I previously did it so I ended up making some notes and storing the correct stuff.
All of the drivers you need are bundled with flashtool 0.6.9.1
Here is the driver bundle from flashtool 0.6.9.1
But I would recommend using flashtool 0.9.18.6 to flash your rom because it has an option to exclude the 'simlock.ta' (previous version doesnt) and this will/could simlock your phone.
You need to connect your phone to PC and go in to the settings in your phone and change USB connection modes. Each time u do that, new drivers will be installed. Then power off ur phone and hold the 'down' volume button on the side and insert your USB lead a couple of seconds later.... then more drivers will be installed.
Then flash your rom with flashtool, and remember to 'exclude' the 'simlock.ta' (it's a checkbox option)
Edit: Btw, if u wanna root ur phone I use eroot_v1.3.4, works like a charm. Its in chinese but just click the big green button and it will root ur phone and install superuser.
Thanks, I was only able to try it out now and it worked. I can not install the flashtool verzion 0.9.18, win10 didn't allow it because it's contain a virus (win said) but i found somewhere 0.9.10.1.
Now have android 4.0.4. Play and browser not working, but for playing music and video its ok.
Maybe If have more time i will try some custom rom.
Which rom aru you using @SK17Me ?

I use 4.1.B.0.587. If you install total commander (or anything similar explorer) using flashtool, then you can download apps from anywhere, put them on your SD card and install them with total commander... no need for google play.
Browser is hit and miss... some pages load, but most dont.
I have all the cyanogenmod firmwares for SK17i (CM 10 - CM 13) which bring later android versions, though I've never tried them. I can upload them if u wanna try any.
