@ Greg
Just connect the phone (X10) to your PC and it will pop up with different installations. Install the Sony Ericsson PC Companion and it will tell you that there’s an update ready.
Then follow the instructions. This is a firmware update!
That worked for me!
My version is 1.0.16"
My phone allready have 1.0.16... (not upgraded it)
I also want it !
hhhmmmmmm, the fun that ill have come tuesday!!
Yes there is a 16 update around and no i can't update to it either...maybe it's generic vs carrier again - that's why we need root/custom roms!
I've got the .16 upgrade on my phone, I don't notice much of a change though.

even iam from india iam on .14 but whenever i check it states "firmware is upto-date".
Just upgraded mine from 14 to 16 last night by using Sony Ericsson Update Service. This is a baseband firmware update, so you won't be able to update via Android's update firmware feature.
Hello, in france, via SEUS the latest FW is still the 1.0.14. And I still have poping and cracking. Hope the 1.0.16 solve this issue.
Best regards
I'm located in Belgium and I also can't update to .16 software.
boy does this phone need 2.1!!!!!!!!!! its a gonner without it i am afraid. functionality and stability from 2.1 firmware will bring out the beast in this phone. 1.6 right now is too limited for what this phone is capable off so SONY dont let us wait too long! i know min issue would be adding media and timescape to 2.1 but it needs to be done!
Mine is a Vodafone UK Handset, SEUS is saying mine is up to date.
Model X10i
BaseBand. 1.0.14
Kerbel Verison. 2.6.29-rel
Build No. R1FA014

Looks like Vodafone are lagging with a firmware release.

Go to Sonys webbpage, dowload and install the software update service, follow the guide for X10 and install the latest update. It is easy to do and the last firmware is 1.0.16
Any Q?? you just ask.
Regards.

Ive done all that, it says my phone has the latest firmware on it. Currently i have firmware 1.0.14
Is this another delay with Vodafone being slow to release software?
No this is Sony Ericson soft and has nothing to do with Vodaphone. I just ran the program my self and had no problem at all. Just try it again.

It has more than you think. If the phone is branded then Vodaphone has to approve the update before it can be delivered through SEUS.
This is the same issue i'm facing with 3 Denmark, the phone has ONE extra app(3MobileTV) BUT that means that 3DK has to approve ALL software updates from SE before it can be installed...
This is why we desperately need root/custom roms
Ok, thank´s for updating me on that. But i still think it´s strange.

hey I recently just bought a new htc hero rooted on v1.6
Since 1.6 is kinda out of date now so I was planning to update the software via the official site to 2.1 as I dont have the technical experience to flash a rom myself.
But my question is can update via the official installer thingy? or if my phone if rooted do i HAVE to use the rom flashing method?
I just needed to know just in case i completely mess up the phone
Thx.

HTC hasn't released the 2.1 update for the Hero yet,... We hope to get it by the start of next month.
There are however, ports of the leaked CDMA 2.1 update available to try out in the development section.
Once the update has been officially released, I would suggest waiting for a rooted version to be posted here on XDA rather than installing it from HTC themselves as the official update may close access to root in future.
and fwiw: you are on android1.5, not 1.6.
Heya
Basically im on Orange in the UK on firmware version 1.6, build number R2BA020,
I have seen various posts on the site saying 026, my question is why have i not had this update, am i supposed to get it as seus says its up to date. My phone as far as i know has no branding, Im confused, any reason why i am still on the 020 build with baseband version 1.1.25.
Thanks
Vengeance
Run the repair option using PC Companion as some have said that has brought the newer fw.
Hi - I believe that the Orange handsets are branded - there's just no obvious sign of it!.. I think it's just Orange wanting to carefully (over carefully!) control the distribution of f/w to their phones... Wouldn't worry about 026 now - may as well wait for And 2.1.. Having said that - if you want 2.1 anytime soon you may need to debrand..
Suggest you contact Orange and ask them when they will be releasing the 2.1 f/w.

How very nice of them to secretly brand my phone -_-
Recommended way to debrand?
I recently bought a used x10 from some guy on craigslist. factory reset it got it all working and what not and figured i would try and update it to 2.1. the phone says its updated even though when i go to phone info in the settings it says firmware 1.6. i tried the pc companion but it also says that it is up to date. any ideas with out rooting and running mods?
You've probably got a branded firmware that hasn't been updated yet...
Do a search for debranding and updating to the global generic firmware...
thanks i will try that out and see if it works.
x10 Flash 2.1 Final + Global World Firmware 2.1
Hi I just got an x10 for a relative because it was a really cheap deal. It has 3 branded android 1.6 software still on it. Can anyone tell me where to get the generic uk software and what to use to flash it onto the phone. I was going to use Omnius to flash it but they don't have generic uk on there, just generic global and some other generic international.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Can you not just use SEUS or PC Companion to update this to the latest 2.1 software?
Both of those progs are available from the SE website.
I would go with that for a quick official fix
Failing this look for Flash Tool in this forum and follow the guide.
Flashtool is available from here along with the generic firmware for the x10i
Moved to proper forum.
Thanks for your reply. I have upgraded it to 2.1 using seus but as i said in my first post. its branded to 3 and i want to have unbranded generic software so that i can upgrade to 2.3 when that arrives
Just click on the link that I put into my first post to flashtool ... on that page you can download global generic firmware and flashtool to flash it with.
THere is also an excellent tutorial on how to use flashtool by rendeiro2005 here
