Hi everyone. For those of you who have an X10a, who's planning on flashing to 2.1 X10i software as soon as it's available?
Bin4ry and MarylandCookie have recommended against it, in favour of waiting for an X10a specific 2.1 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=823115. However, I know we're all impatient and want to get new FW ASAP. We also know that in 1.6 ROMs it was not an issue to have an X10a flashed with X10i FW, and in the end, it didn't seem to affect anything, despite the different basebands.
I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread open for anyone to warn others if it brought disastrous results.
So, let's have it: anyone planning on flashing immediately with 2.1 Nordic?
Just want to add my stuff here
You MAY get Baseband issues. So the firmware and everything else should run well, but depends on the carrier you have you can get problems with 3G.
But i personally think that you will be able to flash back to 1.6 everytime using flashtool again, but that is not 100%. Maybe you have to wait for original X10A 2.1 to correct baseband.
Regards
Bin4ry
No point screwing up your phone not having SEUS support. Just debrand using the latest LAM firmware and wait till the official 2.1 is out.
SE LAM stated last week that they were still on target for a late Oct launch so it wouldn't surprise me if it gets released on Monday.
I am waiting....what is an extra day or two anyways...
Well you should be able to extract the baseband from the LAM f/w and then use the Generic Global
Or just wait for Rogers lol and have a seperate thread for the wait on that!!
No point in taking the risk, chances are that someone will try it right away and post the results within 10 minutes of the update anyways, so I'm going to just sit back and let someone elses phone be the lab rat haha.

Why would X10i users wait for the X10a. Can you quote exactly what it is they "warn against"?

The potential problems are with X10a phones running an X10i rom but you already know that since the title of the thread is phrased correctly. Just want to avoid further confusion there...

He meant x10a users waiting for x10a firmware. Seems to have been a misunderstanding here. This point was referring to x10a users flashing their handsets with the Nordic x10i release of 2.1 but were advised to wait for the LAM release or their Rogers.
Hi guys can please someone let me know whats going on? My question is why u dont advise flashing an x10a with x10i? My phone was originaly the stock rogers one and was x10a but to debrand it i used 026 x10i rom a few months ago and now its 026 x10i global generic. So can i flash this 2.1 rom?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
In a nutshell we had x10a baseband for 1.6 but for 2.1 we dont.
You could try flashing it without the x10i 2.1 baseband but we dont know how that will go down and how that will affect functionality of 3g, radios, mediascape etc so we advised against it. At your own peril .... lol

There are files on those guides to change back to X10a, and it's my understanding that if you've flashed a to i or vice versa you can't use SEUS to update.

My bad. The first X10i should be an X10a. Edited.
As for assurances that it can be reversed... I'm confident that even if it doesn't work, someone here with figure out a way to reflash X10a firmware... but the bottom line is that it is unlikely that it will be irreversible, but we cannot know until someone tries.

man ive been reading this for days on end, and im confused as hell.
i have a X10a, i flashed generic global, now it shows up as X10i, does that mean its stuffed?

Robby don't be mean
(ofcourse they are for that but they aren't supposed to know)
Anyway, I think you're fine mate, as long as you flash back an X10a firmware. People say that SEUS doesn't work if you 'cross-flash' but maybe you can just wait till Sunday evening and see if u don't get any update, and then flash back

IMO, I think we are perfectly fine with the x10i 2.1 version coming out (if we can flash it)
There is a possibility for it to go screwy but I think we proved it won't by using previous x10i roms on x10a. I honestly doubt that they would have changed this, if they were this concerned about it then 2.2 would be out.
I hope my intuitions are correct I'll probably try it first day (just not the first person )
Hey everyone,
Was just wondering if Australia has got this update yet?
Today I thought I might check if it has came yet so I opened up SEUS and checked for updates...
I box did come up and said 2.1 update is here blah blah blah, do you want to install it?
I thought it might brick my phone if I try update it on top of my Rooted x10 so I did i clean factory reset and tried updating it through SEUS again but it doesnt come up anymore?
My phone keeps saying my software is up to date and so does PC Companion and SEUS. ( Phone firmware is still on 1.6 on phone)
I uninstalled SEUS and tried again but same outcome...
Does anyone know why it wont show up when my phone isnt rooted and does when rooted?
Is it even out in Australia yet?
Answers would be very appreciated,
Thank you, Chad.
It shouldnt brick, you need to have your phone rooted, and then to change your region code, Global Generic code works fine.
It shows up with an update for me, but it doesnt actually start downloading :/
How do you change your Region code?
Is there a link you can give me mate, or some information?
yea mate, just look at the first post of this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824711
you could also use as an alternative the global generic code instead of the norwegian code thats put in that thread which is 1232-9897
It appears someone here in Aus has already received the update.
Either that or they aren't the brightest and flashed their X10 and still believe their device is somehow evident of an Optus release...

If you're referring to the network settings which the phone lists as available, the only operators listed are Optus and Virgin.
Other than that I haven't noticed any other operator specific logos/settings.
Android 2.1 has been released for Rogers in Canada

I just checked through PC Companion and it's still telling me that my phone has the latest software. I checked OTA as well with the same result. I'm going to check using SEUS and see if what that tells me.
Where in Canada are you? I'm in Edmonton and nothing yet for me.
Ya same here nothing im in ottawa
Just checked using SEUS and still nothing.
I saw on the Android forum that a couple people in Ottawa got the notification but it doesn't seem to be consistent as other people in the thread said that they weren't getting despite them being from Ottawa as well.
I'm curious if anyone has found a way for those of us with an x10a running x10i firmware to easily trick SEUS into updating for the x10a. I'm currently running the Nordic 2.1 and would love witch to Rogers 2.1 once it's released....anyone have any ideas?
I do recall something about the updates being "staggered" to minimize the load on the servers.

there are several posts on how to " trick " it into taking the update so just wait a bit, someone will post the firmware with the flash tool, same one you used for nordic and you will be all set.
All of the posts I've read indicate we shouldn't mix x10i and x10a codes as SEUS would either not work or ignore the phone. Unless I missed something?

If I understand the posts correctly they are much like the Nokia product or region codes.. with said codes it will tell the server where you are located. So its like a address of sorts.. the server checks the phones and says Oh Hello! You are in Canada here ya go.. or Hallo! Sie sind in Deutschland .. as I said someone will surely post a how to guide. if you mix the codes you will have a phone with firmware from another country well that is my take on it.

Then do us a favor and update the FW from your PC companion/SEUS folder.
somebody will decrypt it.
I just talked to a Rogers technical support representative and was told that the update has been released, but Sony, as usual, did not prepare for the immense traffic and the link to the download is up and down. I was told that we should be able to update later today, but that the only way to check for the update is through PC Companion - it will NOT appear as an OTA notification on the phone.
Hope this helps!

I'm with Tux. I'll wait for some other helpful Rogers user to post the firmware, and then I'll look into flashing to that.
Haven't had any problems with my X10a running Nordic firmware (other than taking longer to get started with market downloads), so I'm not in a huge rush. It would be nice to have proper X10a firmware though.

Well one of us is misunderstanding at this point. I'm not home at the moment and don't have time to link, but the thread in here somewhere states very clearly not to use an x10a CDA if you have an x10i phone as SEUS will not detect the phone. I guess I'll just wait I guess.

That was for 1.6 fw
For 2.1fw Binary (or was Jerpelea) wrote that is ok to use it as SE probably unified the basebands.
Problem is, my 2.1 is crashing about 5 times (or more) daily.

Youre gullible as hell is you believe that. Good ole Rogers.
It's gotta be related to your install. Using original global 2.1 with root in New bRunswick with absolutely no issues

Using the CDA trick works. I have the global X10i firmware on my X10a and changed it's CDA to the generic Brazil one and it gave me the option to repair to the X10a 2.1 generic brazil firmware. I am assuming that the same can be done with the Rogers CDA once it fully goes live.
I didn't do it as I am happy with the global one....no issues.
Just to clarify, I actually work for a particular company that is involved in this, and we were notified that the update was to begin rolling out today.

Hi all,
I am in need of help in order to get my phones main function back up and running. I've tried a 2.1 rom and just installed 2.3.2, both have lost me the function of Texting/Calling which is really frustrating as the city my family is in has just had a 6.3 earthquake in Christchurch NZ..
PLEASE HELP ;(

nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10708086
U probably used the wrong baseband.... if u check it will probably say baseball unknown.... but to be sure we need. More info on what u did and how u tried to do it.
In any case u should just flash a 2. 1 firmware with flashtool and if that doesn't fix ur problem then repair with sues.

Thanks man, I used the baseband that came with the 015 of 2.3.2 gingerbread. My phone says X10A, but the drivers X10I.
If I cant get it going soon I will try 2.1
Could the baseband that came the rom be the wrong one? Ive also updated to 016.
thx
To ensure it works first flash your phone to either the 54 or 55 baseband, then flash the Rom.
I am quite sure that flashing a Rom will not change your baseband, so check the start of the Rom thread for which baseband is required to run the Rom.

The phone has .54 baseband. I've tried 2.1_2_1_A_0_435_GLOBAL and that doesn't work either...
What do I need to do exactly to get any rom to work with my network? If someone could take a few minutes to help, It would be greatly appreciated.
well as you need the phone urgently, id connect it to SEUS and repair back to the original SE firmware, that way you should be able to make your calls to NZ, you can then fiddle around with Roms once youve covered your emergency.

If my phone is x10a does that mean I can only rom a x10a and get service in my country?
Hi!
I wanna know If I can flash the stock rom Sk17i 2.3.4 on my sk17a if not will damage something.. because I already search on the internet for "Generic Trade Brazil 2.3.4 But i just found "Generic Trade Brazil (2.3.3)"(mine). Because I dont know if the android 2.3.4 will be released for mine phone via SEUS So I wanna know I can flash the 2.3.4 sk17i version without damage something like,3G,Signal,? Thanks
No one can reply that? D:
The only difference between sk17a and sk17i is the UMTS band frequency, which is a hardware thing, so there shouldn't be any problem (at least that's what I read and did with a brazillian xperia x8)
However, I just got my sk17a updated today via PC Companion, so you might wait a bit longer
Wotan server has the USA 2.3.4 sk17a if you want to flash it...
