Has anyone been able to download and yea flash 10.1 yet? I am running 2.1 from what I read on line At&t will not let us get gingerbread. So we will never be able to run flash?

No, you will not be able to run flash on 2.1. Only 2.2 and higher have the required api. So for now until gingerbread (2.3) comes out you would have to put a cusom rom on it that is 2.2. You most likely will be able to run gingerbread by using flashtool in the future.
Thank You.

Hi I have just got an X10 and it is locked I believe and it is running the first android 1.6 it has never been updated or anything.
I would like to know how I can update it to 2.1 froyo and also if there is a way to unlock the phone my self.
I have had experience with the htc desire but not with the X10.
Thanks for any help or info

No offense mate but just read the forum and use search.
You have experience with android so just use one if the 2.1 threads.

I did look around the forum but I don't know how to usedate to 2.1 from 1.6 I seem to have found out that I need to pay to get phone unlocked.
If someone can point me to a thread that explains how I update that would be great.
Thanks

Download pc companion for sony ericsson and/or SEUS to see if you can upgrade it there. If it says something like you already have an updated version, u can either wait or flash it to 2.1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825201
Firmware update and unlock is two different things.
You don't get your device unlocked by updating the firmware.
I know them are two different things mate I have rooted my phone with a one click root thing from the market I want to update to 2.1 which I am going to look into now.
But I wondered if there was a free way I could do it myself.
Thanks

Anyone care to explain

In order to move to a new firmware version you need a compatible kernel. So the need for a kernel exists for that specifically

I think he means more along the lines of android 2.3 apps running under a 2.2 kernel. This has already been proven to be possible from phones like the Droid X and Milestone which are both running 2.3 using their older 2.2 kernels.
Yea. I thought people were running 2.3 on x already and they also have a locked bootloader.

I did read the instructions for upgrading stock to cm7.
It said that I need froyo bootloader
I can't find it, so maybe someone can link me to it.

I believe, that they are referring to something along the lines of Clockwork mod, cuz I just flashed coming from Trigger Final to CM7 last night, using CWM and it went flawlessly =)
I think I know what you're referring to. Flash back to stock (jfd) and them use lies mini to upgrade to kb5. This gets you gve bootloader tbeurw talking about. Then flash back to jfd and flash whatever rom you want.

The real question is when will we get the 2.3 update from at&t. When the official 2.1 came out for the x10 at&t was late by 6months or more. I suggest you spend the time to read and research about using & installing custom roms because eventually a 2.3 custom rom based on official se sources will be available.

Another option is to debrand your phone, which will remove all of the att bloatware by flashing the global generic firmware, which will allow you to get the update as soon as it is released instead of waiting for att to release their version, it took them around eight months to release their 2.1 update. If you aren't comfortable flashing it youself there are sites, like davinciteam.com, that will make it easier for a price.

How do you flash your device to remove all the att crap and id like to be able to overclock my x10a, any help would be great
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
Flash a custom rom after rooting. If you find that too complex you can use TotalGSM or Davinci to debrand the phone, but they charge.
Debranding from att is easiest by just flashing a generic version with flashtool. Or root google debranding xperia x10 its super easy with root explorer

Do just like hoskopico said, root your phone, buy Root Explorer on the market, and edit the build.prop file to one that can be updated (see how to debrand and the list of updated kits, do a quick search for how to debrand and look under "General" for the roll-up to see what kits are available.).
My brother had his friend put gingerblu on his phone a while back and now he is getting g the ota for 2.3 notice if he installs that will everything be okay or what does he need to do
