i have xperia x10 running a v. 1.6. i need help tp figure out how i update, cause my phone says im running current software
1 Uninstall SEUS and SE PC Companion from your computer.
2. Reboot and reinstall them
3. Check that you have a recent enough version of 2.1 which has SE backup restore included. If not, go to m.sonyericsson.com/backup on you phones browser, download and install it.
4. Run SE backup/restore on your phone and backup everything
5. Make sure that your phone is fully charged. 50% wont do!
6. Plug into the SEUS service and irrespective of what it says, force an update, if necessary by selecting repair.
7. Once updated you should be on 2.1 - then use SE Backup to restore all your settings and stuff.
Let us know how you get on
If he's in the US on att there won't be an update.
Use agentJBM's guide in the x10 General forum to upgrade.
I would link it for you but this was

it says im still on the 1.6 firmware. is that right?
If you were originally on 1.6 firmware, then yes it is right. Rooting is a completely different process from firmware update.
WTF
i did the idiot proof root for my x10 and it went through everything but it's still not rooted. WTF am i doing wrong? HELP
is there a way i can just upgrade my firmware since my phone's rooted?
Just look around the dev section there are plenty of techniques to change and upgrade the firmware... and plenty of guides to go along with them.... you cant currently upgrade to 2.2 but you can do 2.1 easily
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
thank you!!
Well for a start off 2.1 i believe has rolled out everywhere now so even if you look around the dev section you aint getting anywhere without wacking in ya usb cable to ya pc and connected to the phone ofcourse. Install PC Companion which should launch off of your sd card once mounted.
Once thats installed it will say an upgrade is available.
update via pc companion to 2.1
and if root is what your after not just 2.1 update then theres a thread called one click root, its an app for your device called z4root.apk
install that on ya x10 and your rooted with 2.1 my friend
Downloading right now update for xperia mini, I was not aware it was going to be released today, hope its goods anyways, keep you posted when it finishes
Heh really what version would this be? Hows the progress?
Sent using x10 mini pro
50% this are the times I wish I had a 2gigabit connection :/
done
Software version: 2.1-update1
dont know whats new, no intro as past update was shown on startup...
ahh.. phone unrooted, z4root not working stuck on running exploit screen.
How did you update?
Through wireless or through cable with a pc software like the pc companion?
Did the phone tell about the update when you searched for update?
Please I need to know!
pc companion... software on pc alerted of the update when I conected the phone, tried to search for an update from the phone but it told me it was up to date.
got to see about the availability of an update when I connected my mini to my PC and the PC Companion opened up.Went for the update that took such a long time to complete.I see virtually nothing new or beneficial in the few hours gone by.Oh-I lost the ability to root the phone,Z4 doesn't work anymore.
Didn't find any update not even with pc companion
:-/
same here .. there was no prompt when i plugged in the mini pro.
when i opened PC Companion, it says that I already up the latest update.
I'm usually pretty quick on the updates but this one looks like one to avoid until we can sort out the root issue..
I noticed they already have a solution for the Big X10 by installing a pre Rooted version of the update with xRecovery.. any solution like this available for the mini/pro yet?
All in good time I guess.. someone is probably making a Pre rooted, pre JIT'ed pre Gingerbread themed xRecovery zip file with the new firmware as I type this
fingers crossed..
I'm sorry....
Your stock album is now fast?
Because the first 2.1 stock album is very slow.....
I think that you can't extract for us... But....
Me too updated my mini and now unable to root. How to get back to previous one?
I could be mistaken, but i think x10flasher root method still works.
Downloaded 2.1-update1 (as it says on my phone) on the 24th, almost certain its the unrootable version u guys seem to be talking about, as z4root which worked for my 1.6, couldnt unroot this version(i also thought it was root patched)
Long story short, was messing around with it, tried the X10flasher 2.1 root method, hey presto rooted phone. So give it a shot, wont hurt, and if im right, still a viable root method for 2.1.

It just looks like the Big X10flash GUI's "Root" option just installs Z4root onto the phone in which case it should be no different from just trying to use Z4root to root without the Flashtool... unless Bin4ry just has a different version of Z4root that works on the new firmware? (easy enough for someone having issues rooting with the new update to download his Flash tool and grab the Z4root version he uses out of it to try.. I don't hold high hopes tho, you can always use his flashtool to flash back to the old 2.1 and not update with SE until the root issue is sorted)
(also, I haven't updated my phone in weeks and it say's its running "2.1-update 1" so its possible you are still on the older rootable version, and it was just the version of Z4root you were using wasn't compatible with 2.1, lest hope I am wrong tho cause it would be great if this works!! )
Got the update. It killed my root and apparently my market? Any attempts to start Market crash immediately.
The new 2.1 update 1 is ver. 2.0.2.A.0.24
This is the one i got 24dec. in denmark, and this one wont root with z4root.
Still waithing for this to be fixed
is there any way to root it again?
Hello everyone,
First of all, thanks for suchs a wonderfull forum about almost every mobile!!!
*** I don't understand a thing about developments or development terms.***
I've rooted my phone via the first root available for SE X10 ( So I could delete Moxier crap )....
Now, there's a update available via SEUS. But!!! I can't use it ... It wont install. I think it's because I've rooted my phone!
Firmversion: 1.6 Build-number: R2BA023 Model-number: X10i
Can somebody help me to take it back to factory state? ( Or a root update for 2.2 )???
I really need a good easy root progress, because I don't understand a crap about dev. language!
I hope somebody can help me!!!
Sincerely
Mike

1st of all there's no need for him/her to flash his phone that way, he/she has to use pc companion or SEUS
2.- titamium back up must be installed in order to delete moxier
3.- super one click is right to root
you must have root access to use titanium backup.
so root and delete the crap.
So what program do I need to use now?
Oh, I'm a boy^.-
But, my phone is rooted to 1.6. ( This was the only way I could delete Moxier ).
Now I want a FULL restore ( So it'll be a normal "legaly" bought phone.
So, that all roots are gone, and I'm able to update anytime.
Merci,
Mike
SuperOneClick didn't work for me. Root - Unroot - etc.
I just don't understand a thing about it !
I really need a full explanation for everything :S!
Sorry:/
Mike
superOneClick root
titanium backup
and delete the useless apps.
What's with the Titanium Backup? I don't need anything I have atm.
I already got my contacts stored in my laptop, so Titantium backup isn't needed for me.
But, if I try to root it, it says something about "Superuser" :/
Can't figure it out!
Mobile information:
Modelnumber: X10i
Firewareversion: 1.6 <- must be 2.1 or 2.2 don't know what's out atm.

Someone please help, i wanted to install miui v4.0 rom and now my fone freezes on screen that says Sony Ericsson..!!! please help i have sony ericsson x10i..
Hi Everybody,
I was wondering if its possible to downgrade free x10 beta 4 to any 2.1 rom,or the latest rogers update.
If i made a nandroid back up(im on .54)with free x10,then installed the latest update from rogers. Would I be able to enter x recovery again and restore the free x10 rom,and be able to switch back when I need to ?
Or do I need to re root after the SE update,and use something like mybackup to restore some of my data settings(adw,contacts,txts etc).
I just want to be able to switch from 2.1-2.2 at anytime,is this possible ?
Use SEUS or PC Companion
For contacts -> gmail sync
SMS -> app ''sms backup & restore''
ADW - simply backup and restore after installing again.
Hope it helps!
So will I be able to flash between Roms then,after updating with Se ?

the latest rogers baseband is .55, which does work with beta 4. So if you install that firmware, root it again and install jit and xrecovery, make a backup of that, then reflash beta 4, make a recovery of your setup for that... then you'll be able to go back and forth between the two by just restoring the two recoveries
Could you please post a link to the latest version of superuser
superuser? after you root it is usually preinstalled, otherwise you can get it from the android market!
I dont think so,Ill find it then. Theres been issues when people have updated and lost root and had to find and use superuser
Whoops,I confused my self,I was talking about superoneclick for rooting.Im gonna use the flash tool
OK, so i had rooted my x10a (usa) the other day and couldnt figure out how to get the 2.3 to work from 2.1 and such so i gave up. So today I restored factory settings to get rid of root and did not unroot first, which i take was the wrong process i take it seeing as the problems i now have. Cant download anything, i can go to market but nothing downloads. superuser is still in my apps on my menu but its grey and i cant uninstall it nor can i from market. the only icons are the ones i left that i didnt uninstall when i rooted, so its obvious my system restore did not do anything but hurt me. I tried rooting again via superoneclick and it claims ok your rooted but i cant do anything with market to download titanium etc and the superuser icon still is grey even after shutting down and turning back on.
I have all files on my sd card but this stupid 2.1 wont let me look at sd files from the phone. Is there a way i can get this thing restored back? i can get the sd card stuff onto my phone since 2.1 dont have a way to see files like the newer android does. My avail, precedent etc all with 2.3 android had a my files icon. I went with this phone cus i wanted a faster android phone that was a little older to save money. I love it but i had to ditch 2.1 it had on it. Unfortunately i screwed myself here lol. All help would be great!!!! Thanks.

Hello, you might need to use this as Last Resort. Backup If You Can before doing this!!!
SONY has "Repair Phone'' Option by uninstall and reinstall Stock ROM as before. Follow guide below, its adapted from SONY website:
"Update/Repair your phone via PCC OR SUS
PCC (PC COMPANION) – Repair your software with this .First do the setup without connecting your mobile to pc.(only connect when you are asked to).
Do it as follow >> PCC > SUPPORT ZONE> SOFTWARE UPDATE> REPAIR SOFTWARE (written with blue)
PC Companion http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/pc-companion/
SUS ( Sony Update Service) ... download and install it on pc and follow the on-screen instructions http://www-support-downloads.sonymobile.com/Software Downloads/Update_Service_Setup-2.11.12.5.exe
or
http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/update-service/
Both the links are same ''
If the PCC/SUS says ''your update is last update try later", just install anyway.
MORE QUESTIONS: http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/36287 (probably answered)
Hope this helps

Next time you flash anything, use recovery and make a backup.
If you were rooted you can flash global 2.3.3 stock update with flashtool. I also use AT&T and did this (back in Dec of 2010 )
