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.

2.1 is way uglier!
1.6 is by far, the best looking!

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

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.

[Q] X10 Stock Rom

does anyone know where to find SE x10 stock rom my friend intalled a unstable rom and forgot to back up his original one any help?
Do you want 2.1 or 1.6? I can help you with 2.1 only. And these are SE firmwares.
Sent from XDA Premium from my X10a rooted running 2.2.1 Pure CM Rom from kxhawkins
Use SEUS Sony Ericsson Update Service), this install stock rom.
I have the same problem. I need to restore the stock rom but when I try to use SEUS or PC Companion I receive a message saying that my phone already have the latest software.
Any idea?
Tell It you want to repair.

I did it, but didn´t work. It says I have the lastest software.
But I installed the last X10a Generic firmware from here and now at least SEUS and PC Companion works, including the repair.
Is not the same ROM I had on my phone, but I think I´m able to get the officials updates now.
Im in the same situitation, I found this convuluted way to go back to the 1.6 that involves command lines and command prompts Im a little scared to try it

[Q] [Help] Xperia X10i

i recently shifted from Nokia to Android and i rooted my X10i today , did most of the tweaks but the issue is that i am confused between roms and firmwares , whats the main difference ? yeah also lead me to a rom for x10i
p.s: my first post on XDA
Well for roms whats the difference? Well customs roms are made my nice people here on xda and the firmwares from sony if im wrong correct me and a rom i'd suggest you its the best 2.2 stable and fastest rom its called freex10 madr by zdzihu look for it in the developement section and also you might wanna try wolfbreaks one it has more customisation and welcome to xda buddy
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
you can use Trip rom as well , its very cool
i meanyt to say that if i install any rom will i loose my generic se firmware or data ?
You can always go back to general SE firmware by clicking repair in SEUS.
The data on your sdcard is usually safed when changing between ROMs. But to be sure you can make a backup in xRecovery. Or use an app like Titanium backup or My Backup Root.
Owner of Post,
Do you have the latest version of busybox installed yet and xrecovery yet, because if you don't, I or somebody else can help you. So post again and if you need it and I will post some links for you to use.

Here is flashtool that will help with many things with the x10 like rooting, new se firmwares, installing busybox, ect.
What is your baseband? I need to know before you do the following below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
and here is the how to to use flashtool.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10879507#post10879507
since your phone is already rooted, install busybox with flashtool first then xrecovery with this link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571.
then pick on of the lovely ROMs with with the correct baseband you have.
im on 2.1.54

Good. Now you can use most if not all 2.2 ROMS. Go the busybox step then.

by the way, it doesn't matter if your phone is X10a or X10i. that just means your phone hardware frequency is different. you can use any custom ROM. I recommend Trip's GB MiUI ;-)
Sent from my X10 TripNMiUI using XDA Premium App
u should try wolfbreak's custom rom in the android development section since your baseband is on .54 if not you have to take the trouble to flash your baseband to .49 or 52 for trips rom
Thanks Guys

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.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
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.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
So if I flash the generic one ill be able to upgrade
