Hi there i just want to ask something that bothers me about the update. my x10 is running stock 2.1 but i enabled myself the dual touch via guide here in the xda forum, so this means i dont have the latest 2.1 version and when i check for update there is the option to update to latest 2.1 with dual touch. So lets get to the point i wonder after the update 2.3 will i be able to get it or ill have to update to the last 2.1 update . And is the self made dt means im on some sort of custom rom and ill need to flash the 2.1 again ?
p.s. im already flashed to world generic
p.p.s sry if im hard to follow ..
If you still need a reply. When the update for europe comes out today, then there will be a way to flash it on your device this weekend just wait two days and everything is fine.

Nope, actually i was asking do i need to update to the latest 2.1 in order to get the 2.3 update coz atm my x10 is running the first 2.1

Hi guys
I'm a noob when it comes to android and rooting. I wanted to know if I root my x10i can I go back to standard firmware if needed? And can I keep timescape?
I'm from South Africa and we have not received any firmware updates. I tried debranding and didn't like all the extra stuff I got in the install so I went back to my old firmware. If I root what happens to firmware updates? I understand the benefits but as I said I'm new so I don't really know what to do with a rooted phone.
Thanks any feed back will be appreciated
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
you can keep what you what and restore to unroot state .... but if you are new to android or linux DONT root you can bring the os to an unbootable state....
Is there no way back if I brick it?
How can I get enough info to know what to do. I'v neva used linex.b4

After rooting, you can go back to standard firmware the same way you did it after debranding.
From my understanding, if you update firmware normally you'll lose root. Otherwise, you'd have to update to the newest 'rooted' firmware as posted on XDA if you want to update.
Thanks man that really clarified alot. Do u think its worth it if I go for a root for the time being since there's no updates in my country
Thanks guys
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
If your firmware is really old (click left button>settings>About phone and read the build number at the very bottom, if it ends in 14 or 16 it is the older firmware) It seems worth it to update. Though apparently, the newest root method version (gives you firmware ending in 023) doesn't seem to be the best in battery life. You may want to stick with the link for 'OLD VERSION 1' in the guide (the link's crossed out, but you can still click it to download the files) that will give you firmware ending in 020 which I think gives better battery life.
Only prob is, flashing causes all your settings and apps to go away. So backup your messages and contacts and things. Your SD card doesn't get wiped, but the phone does.
I do have r14, that's y I wanted the update cz I know that 23 is out in other countries. I'll try the root and save my old files so that I can revert if I have a problem later on.
And in case off bricking is there a way to undo it?
Thanks
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Real 'bricking' means the device is DEAD.
I had a problem where my phone gave an exclamation mark logo when booting, and thats all it did. I went through debranding (reflashing) again, and it worked after. So I guess if you get stuck, just reflash.
Ok great, as long as I can fix it if there's a problem I'll try it. Anyway thanks a lot. I really appreciate all the help and the quick replies. There's alot of stuff I still don't understand but I'll check the other posts if I don't get anything I'll put something up.
Thanks again

The reason you havent had good result on finding info for 2.2 is because 2.2 hasent been confirmed for the x10 yet
i thought it's been confirmed ...well hope we get 2.3 instead
No thweres no other major version confirmed the next update we know we are pegged for is another in Q1 January
this will bring multi touch among other things
I contacted Se, they said no major update planned for x10

Update from 2.1 to 2.2, and 2.3 are classed as minor updates. 1.6 to 2.1 are classed as major updates. Just look at the numbers...
we hope so.....
To be honest I don't belive Se . Se make me
I will belive when I see on the computer screen or New thread in XDA with option to download

You posted in the wrong forum. This should be posted in Q&A. You probably have the 504 firmware and you are being prompted to update to .24
Oh wow sorry I wasn't paying much aattention to the forum I was in..... so should I do this.... will have to re root or anything afterwards?

Yes you will have to re-root from here.
Thanks! I appreciate it!

before i do this. ur 100% positive i can root this. because im reading around it says i cant and theres a pre rooted version i can use instead.
what are the benefits of this firmware anyway.
you can flash a prerooted version, also superoneclick or smthn should do the trick now, atleast what ive heared, so i recommend to flash the prerooted one, i think binary has it somewhere
Hi - When .024 first came out SE had patched the exploit, but now there's a version of superoneclick that will root it - i did. it's on here somewhere.. you'll find it if you search..
ive tried it...didnt work for me...so now i feel like im stuck without a root. great !
ima try a few more times i guess.
any other options?
so after one click failed i tried the root that came with the flash tool i used and it worked so im fine now.
I am debating to root my new X10 or wait and just install GB. But for you guys who have rooted and custom roms are you going to upgrade to 2.3 when the official release using sony's updater or are you just going to wait for a rom, flash the latest bb and firmware and not use the sony's updater?
I don't see the point of updating with SEUS because I'll end up using custom roms anyway so I'll just wait for roms
Yep, im using seus. Im not waiting for anything! Lol

i'll wait for the root first..unless it comes with a new kernel with fps cap removed

I kind of feel like a traitor, but I will SEUS, and wait till root. I used there arc gb and have been trying to get it, closest so far is Trip's.

I will wait for the first custom gingerbread rom based on official gingerbread release.
I do not want to risk my root etc. by updating the official se release with seus....you never know what se has implanted in it to block root.

I will wait for the SEUS because customs ROMS for 2.3 are not yet stable as i have been reading...although they might be faster.
I will update then root when it comes out.
Anyone know of the specific announced date? i read somewhere of 20 July 2011

Of course GB custom roms now are not stable, since they have to use sources from the 2.1 firmware (not to say that they are bad, the devs did what they could to bring out the most of it).
However when the update comes out, we can anticipate some really good 2.3 custom roms.
Seus for sure
Sent from my X10x using XDA App
I think I'll use SEUS, I don't want to wait.
If root won't be available soon after the release I'll just flash back to my ROM with custom kernel and wait for root and then flash back to 2.3.3
How should we restore our apps with market links without root?
So root is very important.
Updating with SEUS right away. I've already used PC Companion to return to world generic stock 2.1. Can't wait for the update!
I will update thru seus the minute it comes out

No.....
Having to much fun playing around with custom roms and kernals.
If we get root on 2.3.3 I may give it a go, just so I can judge customs roms against it. otherwise custom roms will be better!

yep! same goes for me!
In some countries the update will come way after others, so probably many of us will get first custom roms working 100% than official update!
Right now the only problems in CM7 are driver related, so when SE official releases 2.3 it's just a matter of days, not to say hours, to put this new drivers working on the roms we have right now!
So I will continue in custom roms...

hello guys i am not an expert.
to be short , here are my questions.
my phone is rooted and miuimodel T959
android version 2.3.7
baseband T959UVKA7
kernel version is
2.6.35.12-gdf10700
build MIUI-111180
i had updated this version from my rooted and miui froyo version.
actually my vibrant was not entering into download mode so i used rom tool box.
first i downloaded the verion and then copied it to the sd card , and then ran it through ROM TOOLBOX. and wow my phone got updated to gingerbread.
now i have downloaded ICS_NBv8 build3.zip
can i run the file the same way as i did previously or do i have to take any other precuations?
please suggest and help
i dont understang the CM7 and all that stuff.
I go into recovery so I'm not sure about your method but what I can say is..... you're trying to install ics passion right? There's a version 10 out so go download that and install it. It'll most likely be better then the version you're trying to install

Please read everything very carefully...also for passion ICS (since V.8) you need gingerbread bootloader...
please read the installation process several tomes if you are not sure ask, or don't flash at all...you might brick your phone otherwise!

So, you've been a member for almost 4 years, and you don't know how to flash through recovery, OR how to search a forum for a rom?
