I have a rooted X10i with BB.67 and TripNMiui GB installed.
I would like to install the stock 2.1 from SE, but every time I try to repair the phone via either 'SE update service' or ' SE PC companion', it comes up with the message that there is no new software available, or that I am already running the latest software.
Can anybody please point me in the right direction, how to get the phone back to stock 2.1??
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
seus should have an option to reinstall if it tells u no new software available.

problem already soled by flashing with nordic rom.
Thanks anyhow
@brclho: I had the same problem a while ago, and found that SEUS didn't have that option anymore.... I think they removed it...
Had to repair my phone via Flashtool, which worked great....

CAN FINALLY CONFIRM THE UPDATE IS AVAILABLE IN THE UK.
I de-branded my phone to the generic CDF, SEUS said i had the latest update, when i clicked reinstall in downloaded the new update and now I have android 2.1
enjoy all owners
Yes, I've just checked and have the update message checking OTA manually - but it says i must use a computer to update my phone.
My 1.6
ro.product.name=U20i_1238-0199
ro.semc.version.cust=1238-0199
ro.semc.version.cust_revision=R3A
However PCC and SEUS both say I have the latest software installed and I've uninstalled and reinstalled both of these... hmmm

I used SEUS - it said I had the latest update but I reinstalled the update anyway, turned out to be 2.1

ro.semc.version.cust=1238-1760

all you do is this, what I will say is first install busybox onto your phone for it to work.

as I said, generic is out. there wont be joy for you for at least another month or 2 if you dont debrand
Downloading right now update for xperia mini, I was not aware it was going to be released today, hope its goods anyways, keep you posted when it finishes
Heh really what version would this be? Hows the progress?
Sent using x10 mini pro
50% this are the times I wish I had a 2gigabit connection :/
done
Software version: 2.1-update1
dont know whats new, no intro as past update was shown on startup...
ahh.. phone unrooted, z4root not working stuck on running exploit screen.
How did you update?
Through wireless or through cable with a pc software like the pc companion?
Did the phone tell about the update when you searched for update?
Please I need to know!
pc companion... software on pc alerted of the update when I conected the phone, tried to search for an update from the phone but it told me it was up to date.
got to see about the availability of an update when I connected my mini to my PC and the PC Companion opened up.Went for the update that took such a long time to complete.I see virtually nothing new or beneficial in the few hours gone by.Oh-I lost the ability to root the phone,Z4 doesn't work anymore.
Didn't find any update not even with pc companion
:-/
same here .. there was no prompt when i plugged in the mini pro.
when i opened PC Companion, it says that I already up the latest update.
I'm usually pretty quick on the updates but this one looks like one to avoid until we can sort out the root issue..
I noticed they already have a solution for the Big X10 by installing a pre Rooted version of the update with xRecovery.. any solution like this available for the mini/pro yet?
All in good time I guess.. someone is probably making a Pre rooted, pre JIT'ed pre Gingerbread themed xRecovery zip file with the new firmware as I type this
fingers crossed..
I'm sorry....
Your stock album is now fast?
Because the first 2.1 stock album is very slow.....
I think that you can't extract for us... But....
Me too updated my mini and now unable to root. How to get back to previous one?
I could be mistaken, but i think x10flasher root method still works.
Downloaded 2.1-update1 (as it says on my phone) on the 24th, almost certain its the unrootable version u guys seem to be talking about, as z4root which worked for my 1.6, couldnt unroot this version(i also thought it was root patched)
Long story short, was messing around with it, tried the X10flasher 2.1 root method, hey presto rooted phone. So give it a shot, wont hurt, and if im right, still a viable root method for 2.1.

If im wrong, sorry for bringing hopes up.

It just looks like the Big X10flash GUI's "Root" option just installs Z4root onto the phone in which case it should be no different from just trying to use Z4root to root without the Flashtool... unless Bin4ry just has a different version of Z4root that works on the new firmware? (easy enough for someone having issues rooting with the new update to download his Flash tool and grab the Z4root version he uses out of it to try.. I don't hold high hopes tho, you can always use his flashtool to flash back to the old 2.1 and not update with SE until the root issue is sorted)
(also, I haven't updated my phone in weeks and it say's its running "2.1-update 1" so its possible you are still on the older rootable version, and it was just the version of Z4root you were using wasn't compatible with 2.1, lest hope I am wrong tho cause it would be great if this works!! )
Got the update. It killed my root and apparently my market? Any attempts to start Market crash immediately.
The new 2.1 update 1 is ver. 2.0.2.A.0.24
This is the one i got 24dec. in denmark, and this one wont root with z4root.
Still waithing for this to be fixed
is there any way to root it again?
my phone got bricked when i try to JiT my phone..
when i want reinstall with seus, they say my phone already up to date...
so, i think i must downgrade first to get reinstall again...
anybody can give me tutodial about this?
With SEUS you can reinstall current version. No need to downgrade. Look carefully on the screen when It tells you that you have the latest version.
Is it possible to downgrade from 2.3.3 to 2.1 if so how ? as to my haste i of course went straight to the upgrade without even thinking and put a 3 on my o2 phone haha :L
downgrading to stock 2.1 rom was no problem for me using the flash tool

agreed, have done a downgrade myself tonight and it worked no problem
Do the steps from the flashtool guide work in 2.3.3? Or is something else needed?
I did a backup with backup and restore and didn't know that it no longer works on gingerbread (damn SE that doesn't tell that on pc companion or seus)
I Can not Downgrade with flashtool
In middle of progress say : " aborted "
I stuck on flashing loader for about 10 minute then aborded
Yes, it's possible to downgrade from 2.3.3. to 2.1. I do it maybe 6-7 times in the last 24 hours without problems with flashtool 0.2.9.1. Try to change the USB port on your computer, remove the battery of your phone, llet pass 2-3 minutes put back battery WITHOUT turning on the phone and follow the instruction of flashtool.

Yes.
You can flash any firmware onto any phone.
If you get an error/abort, just do it again.
Or try FlashTool 0.2.8 (I have issues with 0.2.9).
OK, so i had rooted my x10a (usa) the other day and couldnt figure out how to get the 2.3 to work from 2.1 and such so i gave up. So today I restored factory settings to get rid of root and did not unroot first, which i take was the wrong process i take it seeing as the problems i now have. Cant download anything, i can go to market but nothing downloads. superuser is still in my apps on my menu but its grey and i cant uninstall it nor can i from market. the only icons are the ones i left that i didnt uninstall when i rooted, so its obvious my system restore did not do anything but hurt me. I tried rooting again via superoneclick and it claims ok your rooted but i cant do anything with market to download titanium etc and the superuser icon still is grey even after shutting down and turning back on.
I have all files on my sd card but this stupid 2.1 wont let me look at sd files from the phone. Is there a way i can get this thing restored back? i can get the sd card stuff onto my phone since 2.1 dont have a way to see files like the newer android does. My avail, precedent etc all with 2.3 android had a my files icon. I went with this phone cus i wanted a faster android phone that was a little older to save money. I love it but i had to ditch 2.1 it had on it. Unfortunately i screwed myself here lol. All help would be great!!!! Thanks.

Hello, you might need to use this as Last Resort. Backup If You Can before doing this!!!
SONY has "Repair Phone'' Option by uninstall and reinstall Stock ROM as before. Follow guide below, its adapted from SONY website:
"Update/Repair your phone via PCC OR SUS
PCC (PC COMPANION) – Repair your software with this .First do the setup without connecting your mobile to pc.(only connect when you are asked to).
Do it as follow >> PCC > SUPPORT ZONE> SOFTWARE UPDATE> REPAIR SOFTWARE (written with blue)
PC Companion http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/pc-companion/
SUS ( Sony Update Service) ... download and install it on pc and follow the on-screen instructions http://www-support-downloads.sonymobile.com/Software Downloads/Update_Service_Setup-2.11.12.5.exe
or
http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/update-service/
Both the links are same ''
If the PCC/SUS says ''your update is last update try later", just install anyway.
MORE QUESTIONS: http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/36287 (probably answered)
Hope this helps
Sincerely,
whitefang

Next time you flash anything, use recovery and make a backup.
If you were rooted you can flash global 2.3.3 stock update with flashtool. I also use AT&T and did this (back in Dec of 2010 )
