Did you ever think that maybe he is not on stock anymore.
@ OP
We don't know yet.
Hopefully soon we will.

Thhanks guys, im on rogers stock 2.1 I was thinkin to root after flashing it might be pointless if im going 2.3. Better keep it stock while I wait.
What did you mean by *unmodified*? Rooting? Or something else?

Sorry for double post, I just downloaded the x10a .435 generic from the flashtool thread, is that the stock unmodified one?
Sorry first android phone lol :$

No, dont use FlashTool. Yous current firmware is just fine. And yes, unmodified=no root, custom rom, etc.

Wow, you want to debate just about that? And DID I say I KNOW he is using an unmodified stock fw?
Btw OP, if you still want to modify your phone, go ahead. But make sure you flash your phone with ROGERS stock fw using FlashTool when the upgrade is rolled out. Still, I am not sure if they block modified X10, but an insider said so and I trust him.

Wait:-o. I can get the update with a rogers branded phone?, I though it was only generic ones

We are still not sure about that. It depends on rogers if they want.

So if I flash the generic one ill be able to upgrade

[Q] Does flashing NORDIC firmware needs rooting??

hey guys,
just updated my x10 to 2.1 n I am surprised to say that I actually am surprised to say that I am liking it more than before.
I have to say android guys are doing great and hope their good work continues.
I am staying in Dubai and have been considering to flash my x10 to Nordic firmware since I bought it.
I would like to know if we can flash x10 to Nordic firmware without rooting it? Or is rooting compulsory? n I hope that would get me the market application
Thanks
No it doesn't need rooting it just need seus installed before starting

great.... so does flashing bring me the market application here in UAE (dubai)??
Moreover another question is I have already updated to 2.1
So can I still follow the general flashing rules with the available Nordic Rom or is there something different with a 2.1 updated version.
Thx

Unless you're with ATT
I have a x10a w att and i had to use the flash tool to get 2.1. I used the x10a firmware instead of the global because i had better results with the x10a firmware. Then u can root and install xrecovery and get 2.2. I had absoutely no problems on 2.2. I had better results and less bugs on 2.2 rather than 2.1

Rogers here with 1.6. Can you describe your procedure in more detail please? Like:
- How did you get 2.1? Did you use the official AT&T ROM?
- Which 2.2 ROM did you use?
Thanks
Ive tried getting to 2.1 with x10 Flasher but it never detects the firmware .

Search threads for x10a global generic firmware 2.0.2.A.0.24 and flash tool. There is Rogers 2.1 as well, but there is no ATT 2.1 firmware, because they never updated. Global Generic x10a works great. I used to swear that regional Brazil was better than global generic for ATT, but after using x10a global generic 2.0.2.A.0.24 firmware I have to say they work the same. Global Generic is only missing google Voice Search app, but you can download it yourself.

You have to "extract" the 10 "file sin" files out of the firmware download to get them into the right format, "SIN files". Then create a "firmware" folder inside flasher folder, if one does not exist, and put the "SIN file"s in the firmware folder.

I was using x10 flasher 2.5 and it has to ftf format. Figured it out after some trial and error.

Slow stock Browser 2.1

Ever since the 2.1 update my stock android browser is painfully slow. It hangs when loading pages, and is overall slow. I like the stock browser and wish to continue using it. I have tried to clear the cache often and reset all settings in the browser and nothing helps.
What's the baseband and build number of ur x10?
Did u try clearing history or killing apps before using your phone browser? I know killing apps is controversal.
Tell me this info. And maybe i can help

PC Companion. I am on Rogers in Canada.
U mite want to consider doing flash tool from xda website under x10 developement section only cuz u can pick different build numbers if ones dont work for u. I havent heard this issuse before since i started at least looking at these forums since at least december. This rom and firmware stuff work for different people so try it out if u want to go that route. Let me know and i can help u get a link for flashtool of u cant find it.

Thanks ill have a look at that.
How much would having the "enable location" setting checked affect performance?
I tried unchecking it and the browser seems much more responsive.
Hey u mite have found ur solution

Why u want to do it......?
bcoz my phn reboot in almost all baseband and firmware....
Original operators 1.6 firmware
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872298
Also, you do know that the baseband is part of the firmware? No need to flash a different baseband. They are designed regionally, so stay with the baseband that comes with the firmware.
use seus or pccompanion to get the officiallatest software.
Its 2.1 and 100% stable because its official...
If your phone doesnt work on that then send it back to SE becuase its their rom...

Some people think 1.6 is less taxing on the phone than 2.1. Maybe my battery lasted longer on the stock 1.6 than stock 2.1.
But I know the ROM I use on 2.1 is much better on my battery than 1.6 stock.
SEUS is the way to go anytime anyone's phone is acting crazy.
