All i would like is a few links to point me into the right direction as what im supposed to do to upgrade my software to atleast support multitouch. All your help would be muchly appriciated thanks for reading
Use flash tool 0.2.9.1 to flash the appropriate x10a or x10i 2.1.A.0.435 firmware. Both the flash tool and firmware can be found here....

Here is a detailed step by step guide for noobs on updating. It is based on AT&T X10a, but it will work for anyone. Just use the correct model firmware....

There are ways to implement dualtouch on your existing firmware, however if you flash the generic 2.1.A.0.435 firmware you will be certain to get the official 2.3.3 Gingerbread update directly from PC Companion or SEUS when available.
Just to add on top of the instructions provided,
You will lose your personnel data. So BACKUP before you start with this procedure.

Hi,

Can you help me?

This trick is no longer work
The switching method doesnt work, however, on the android development part of the forum for x10 theres a few download links that will install a generic 026, simply find the one you want download and follow instructions

hey guys, i've been going about the forums and trying out various stuff. i really want android 2.1 on my phone, but i've had no success. and i only just found out that the SO-01B runs on x10a configurations and according to wikipedia, it has lack of support for android 2.1.
is this true? if not, can someone please link me to a guide that will work for me? i've seen alot around but im not sure which one would work and i really don't want to mess up the phone.
Im running on android 1.6 with RABA026 FW
Thank you!
no probs
hi there,
I'm in Japan with the So-01B and I have updated succesfully to 2.1
Same as you I flashed mine to an x10i and latest firmware (before 2.1).
Just donwload the decryted 2.1 ROM with flashtool from the main board and flash it. You'll be fine
Yes. I also updated my SO-01B to 2.1. No problems so far Everything works great.
Just use the version that provided @Bin4ry (hail to the genius) and you're set.
and don't forget to back up everything if things go sour (you never know).
i also have the same model as yours, and updated successfully.. i tried both the nordic and global firmware and both worked well..
can you please link me to thread that has the instructions?
DONE!
thanks =D

Hi there,
Please don't freak out on me for not perusing the posts. I have and unfortunately I couldn't find the post I was originally looking for (I saw it there a few months ago, book marked it, but lost it after an HDD crash - I now know the value of Xmark sync).
A few months ago I flashed my phone to a simple generic 2.1 firmware. Nothing fancy. Since doing so I've had some weird issues where some apps fail to work now, even the Weather Network's widget fails to launch. Weird, frequent random FCCs, etc.
My phone is an X10a, and was upgraded to:
Firmware: 2.1-update1
Baseband: 2.1.54
Kernel Version: 2.6.29
Build Number: 2.1.A.0.435
The issue i have is that after the upgrade, it changed my language from English to spanish I think, and it purged all the info regarding the Mobile Network Settings (APN's, Voicemail settings, etc).
Because of these issues, I would like to re-flash my phone with SEUS but to the ENGLISH Generic. If I can't do that I would like to flash it back to the Rogers firmware if possible.
Is there a way for me to do so easily?
I remember that there was a guide on the forum that talked about editing a few files using a program from the Market in order, with root access, in order to change the country code information that the phone is currently using, so that using SEUS will force the phone to download a different firmware. But I have come up empty on my search. Or maybe it was a really weird dream lol
Have you tried the SEUS to get back the original Rogers firmware image? I messed up my phone a few times and the SEUS was always able to restore the default Rogers image.
Use the flashtool to flash global generic .435 FW and select your location and language when you do your initial setup. Search the Dev forum for the Flashtool thread by Androxyde. Flashtool is also how you flash the BB of your choice.

Thats the link to the flashtool. The FW links are in that thread too. If you want a different BB independent of the FW there's a thread with a collection of all available BBs in the Dev forum.

robotfoodisgood: Using SEUS installs the firmware for what ever region the phone has been coded to use. When I attempt to use SEUS, the language becomes Spanish, and all the settings dealing with Voicemail, APN, and Network get purged. I used Titanium backup prior to performing this flash. When I realized that my settings were gone, I re-downloaded it from the Market and restored my settings. I'm not sure if its an incompatible setting was introduced during the restore process that has caused my phone to act the way it has.
CMoney87: I will give that a shot. Hopefully this will fix the issue. I was originally planing on upgrading to one of the Gingerbread firmwares. After hearing that Sony was going to release a 2.3.3 firmware of their own - however fairly stripped (from what I've read - no live wallpaper, no HD camera, no face tracking, mediascape, etc). If that is the case I don't see the need to wait for a few more months in order to get Gingerbread, there are already better rom's already available for us to use.

Are the Global Generic sin files the same as the Generic ftf files? If not the sin files are no longer available for download it seems. In either case I'm about to try the Global Generic ftf file for my phone. Hopefully this works Fingers and toes crossed! LOL
[EDIT]
Before flashing to the Generic I did a bit more searching and fell apon this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9200597&postcount=22
this allowed me to fully restore it back to the Rogers firmware. After performing the SEUS update my settings are as follows:
Model: X10a
Firmware Version: 2.1-update1
Baseband: 2.1.55
Kernel Version: 2.6.29
Build Number 2.1.1.A.0.6
I still fully plan on flashing the Generic firmware (probably tomorrow after church and a visit to the in-laws), but was wondering if it would be beneficial to backup the firmware and baseband, and perhaps posting it somewhere for others to use should someone want to restore their phone to that of a Rogers firmware should issues arise?
Before flashing to the Generic Firmware, I'll root the phone and use Titanium Backup to backup the current settings so that should the Generic firmware not retrieve the APN and voicemail setting information from Rogers, that I can restore it easily enough.
Sure, you can always just put the backup on a PC too if you wont be using it for a while and dont have the room on your SD. Just dont rename it.

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
Hi..
I m heaving x10i with t-mobile, how can i upgrade to 2.3.3?
Please help.....m new to xda..
Thanks in advance.....
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
You may be new to XDA but at least you posted your question in the right place. A lot of XDAers who behave and sound like they know what they are doing, don't even follow this rule. So don't worry!
Basically there are 2 ways to upgrade to 2.3.3. One is (1) to upgrade through PC Companion, and the other is (2) to flash pre-rooted version of the ROM.
If you have never used a flashtool or never flashed a ROM before, you should probably go the route (1). All you have to do is to install the PC Companion and connect your X10i to the PC. But you have to wait until an update becomes available for your version of installed 2.1 firmware. Here is something you should take a look at. If you happen to be in the legion where no official 2.3.3 is unavailable now, you may still be able to upgrade anyway if you know how to edit build.prop.
Going through the route (2) is a little more complex than (1) but if you read this or/and this carefully it shouldn't be that difficult.
model no x10i
fw version 2.1-update 1
