Just got an update notification - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

i cant wait for andrid 2.3.3 to see if the removed fps

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)

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.

Need help with restore of sms!!!

Hi there... after long i finally updated frm 2.1 to 2.2(freex10 beta4) ... i would like to knw if i can restore my sms i backedup with sebackup???? Do i hav to flash back to 2.1 to get it?? Any help would b appreciated...
Sorry if this has been discussed b4.. i did search but didnt find..
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Pretty sure you can't. If i'm right then SEbackup is Sony Ericsson's? If so then it can only be used on an SE Rom. (only 2.1)
If you really need those SMS' back then you'd probably have to go back to 2.1 (someone else should verify though).
In future, i recommend something like SMS Backup +
Use MyBackup Root. It'll work between any android versions. With SE app you can only restore if you can install the app which is built for 2.1

Thanks guys.... off to flashing 2.1 rom for sms..

Maybe you can use Spritebackup. I have that and I've seen that is so similar to SE original backup and restore. The only problem is that you must buy it...

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.

Sent from my X10a using XDA Premium App
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.

Making an exact copy

Ok, I had to get a warranty exchange for my x10a. I reflashed to the at&t Rom from here but its not the same. In wondering how can I pull everything from the new phoneand put it on the old phone before I send it back. Basically flashing the old phone to look like the new one so they won't change me for blowing the warranty.
Thanks in advanced

Find the At&t firmware and flash to stock. What is wrong with the old phone?

Look in settings>about phone and you can see which firmware the new phone is on. Then you can flash that fw or post here if you cant find it.

On the old phone, the speaker stopped working meaning I would have to either put my phone on speaker or use a headset. Not really a big issue except that im military and alot of the time I can't wear a Bluetooth and its impractical to have it on speaker.
The new phone is
2.1-update 1-fw
2.1.65-bbq'd
2.6.29 kernal
2.1.A.0.492 build
One of the major things that I notice is the at&t bootscreen on the new one and the se bootscreen on the old
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
This link will get you to the 1.6 At&t file for your old phone. You will have to create a FTF and flash w/ flashtool. If you want to get to 2.1 afterwards on your old phone, just update with pc companion but you don't have to do that since you are returning it.

Did you try connecting to PC Companion or SEUS after you flashed back to the AT&T Rom. Or on the stock rom isn't there somewhere in settings you can check for OTA updates.

Update fail?

I updated my xperia neo via OTA(the update 2.3.4). I tried to install however after 5 minutes, my phone turned on and it said that : could not install.....(or something like that, i dont remember clearly)
Is there anyone has the same problem?
Sorry for my bad english
is your phone rooted ?
My guess is that you phone is rooted and you changed something in the /system/apps/ folder, so you can't update OTA. You should re-flash back at 2.3.2 and then do a OTA or update with the PC Companion software but in this way you will lose root...

No, you got the problem only if you are already with the 2.3.4, if you flash back to 2.3.2 from the 2.3.3 firmware you should have no problem.
I tried restoring some apps which i had removed and download the update again however, the problem still remains.

Use wotanserver or flashtool. Faster and with flashtool you dont lose your apps and dont need mess restoring apps.

I use different method to get root back. If your bootloader is open then you can easly make root back.
Use "rootxperia.zip" via clockworkmod recovery.
So. Is you phone bootloader open or on?
Anyone can confirm that?

Its good choice. When you have working computer, then make you updates.
Always good to have a usb cable and a working PC on hand when doing any flashing/updating/rooting etc with your phone. with 2.3.4 once it's installed and if you don't have root, as long as you have an unlocked bootloader you can use rootxperia to root your phone, however the kernel for overclocking etc (doomkernel) isn't working yet with 2.3.4 so i suggest until it is 100% working to stay clear of this, also to stay clear of any downgrades to 2.3.2 when you are on the 2.3.4 firmware.
