unfair - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I remember before gb came out all those videos showed x10a models, and now x10a users are the last ones to get it, im very impatient after reading how good gb seems to be on x10

Then why wait? All the tools you need are right here in this forum. You can always change to x10a once it's available.

Just follow this, it's only beneficial as the custom ROM is better than the official anyways and you don't have to wait.

But i was told that its not a good idea to change from x10a to x10i with my carrier, someting about not having the same bands i think, that would make my phone unuseable with any of the 4 carriers here

All I did is debranded my phone to LAM Generic R2BA026.
I backed up these files before I debranded my phone to Generic.
Did AT&T brand this firmware like crazy?
By the look of the file size posted by the OP, this firmware looks very slimmed down.
The generic 026 NAM weighs in about 124MB in size. This AT&T firmware is only 116MB. I am assuming PlayNow is not there and maybe other stuff.
Anyone install it on their device yet?
il try it
give me some time il throw it on right now il take that back my update app wont let meflash my phone sucks

I only spent 15 min on the ATT software before I debranded it, here is what I noticed
1) phone comes with at least 7 ATT apps
2) ATT boot screen ..DUH!
3) no play now
4) timescape is the same, mediascape has ATT music at the bottom
5) phone only comes with stock Android keyboard
6) google search widget has microphone icon next to it
7) youtube login account finally worked!! didnt work any of the generic firmwares for some reason
8) new wallpapers

Question: Is Multi-Touch on ATT X10a Hardware disable? or Software Disable?
I am trying to figure out, which phone to get, comparing this phone with ATT Captivate.
well both phone have no front facing camera, no biggy for me.

It were said many times that X10 does not supports Multi-touch, so skip asking around about it.
It is seem the R2C firmware is just a customize for ATT, so sad
I'm quite curious to see anyone debrand it and upgrade it to 2.2...1.6 is soo old for a phone like that..
I asked the people at att and they say it was 2.1..turns out they lied.
Can you post apps and boot screen

You know they always will! Did they even know what you were talking about? I don't think so bro. A bunch of MORONS there. I plan on getting this phone too it looks sexier than captivate.
Did any one have any luck rooting their Xperia x10 on AT&T yet? If so, can you please tell us which of the rooting methods you used? I'm dying to get rid of all the bloated AT&T crap on the stock rom, and put my own on so that I can use the phone to its full potential.
Thanks in advance to anyone who has rooted their Xperia on AT&T and can tell us how they did it!
I used both methods. I used the 5 step (actually 7 for X10a) initially and then redid it with the 3 step for the 026 rom. On the three step I had to edit the third batch file to correct a syntax error.
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
And this was on the AT&T version of the x10a or a different version of it? If it's the AT&T version, can you tell me exactly how you did it so that I can root my phone as well?
Thanks!

[Q] Which region do you think will get 2.1 first?

Hey guys, I have a Rogers X10a that I've debranded to the Latin American R2BA026. Just wondering, do you think any of the other regions will get it before this one does? I read somewhere that SE Brazil said the 2.1 update over there would be sometime around the end of October... does this apply to the Generic firmware as well? or is that independent of all this
I looked around and couldn't find any similar thread so I'm posting this
Thanks in advance
I really doesnt matter who gets it first. As soon as its out, somone will upload it and then we will all be enjoying it. No point waiting for your carriers official release cause youll be waiting............ forever. Its coming. People are more excited about this release then my kid is about Xmass or summer vacation!

Since I'm new to this,
will the UK generic firmware work on the X10a?

Need your help please.....

before i begin i just want you to know ive tried to search for a whole day and still hit a dead end..
I just bought an X10 for AT&T USA so its x10a. brand new.
I already have it unlocked already so im using T-mobile USA.
I also have setup my internet access properly via tweakker.com
My question, why can i only use EDGE?! no 3G...
when i go to settings the network mode selection cannot be selected... what gives?!
should i debrand my phone? or root? will it make a difference? or is there a hardware issue here?

It's only twice Anyway, run steps 1 to 5 HERE, then run SEUS which will update you to 026. After you've got to that stage, run the additional step for X10a from the same link, and that should be that.
But if you are wanting to root your phone too, see THIS guide which will do the above also.

ok so im done with 1 to 5.. i ran SEUS and it said my phone dint need an update..
im going to skip that for now.. im doing the x10a additional now.. should i do step 4 only, 5 only, or 4 and 5?

You should need an update because it's flashed an old firmware on there, so would run it anyway despite it saying you dont.
You should have followed every step from 1 to, and including 5, then run seus, then the additional step. I'm back at home now so will be here to help.

This is correct.
Debranding will not help you get 3G on T-Mobile with an X10a.
Only the X10i will access the correct frequency for 3G with T-mobile.

This might be why seus didn't run as you need to get it back to an X10a, but that means then you'll have to use another carrier for 3G.

Ah great thanks. Knew about the secret menu but not what it was used for. I am on generic. Is there a way to change it to global and is it worth doing or should I just wait forever for the generic version to pop up? Advice appreciated
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Depends how impatient you're feeling!!.. I had absolutely no intention of rooting etc.. but got fed up of the lack of info so I followed the simple upgrade method.. rooted using the one click root app on my phone.. changed the default prop values as per the thread instructions and plugged into SEUS.. bingo.. 2.1...
Rooting the 2.1 was a bit trickier though (want to go to UK Generic when it's out)..
all i get from sony when asked is *******There are still tests which need to be carried out on generic versions to ensure they meet UK laws & regulations.*******
Surely the global version is still subject to UK laws etc if its being used in the UK. What are the advantages and disadvantages of being rooted and does it affect my warranty? Thanks for all the advice really good for a nooby discovering the world of a real OS

Factory reset will only reset current firmware. You need to get the 1.6 flash tool from the development section and install the 1.6 firmware back onto device. REMEMBER use 1.6flash tool not 2.1 flash tool.

baseband .61 and baseband .67 for telstra

hi guys
with the new baseband, i noticed that these are built for x10is, and from what i gathered the rogers update did not update the baseband?
if so is there any performance gains from moving to .61 or .67 for a x10a like mine?
.54 is working the best so far..
any other Aussie testers out there with feedback??
thanks
I cant even flash the new BB to my X10i but as soon as I do I'll let you know
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
i gave .61 a quick try before, but it doesn't seem to be better than .54
just want to know if ti's just me
I installed 2.1.B.0.1 lastnight with bb .67 on EW's V001 and it gave me nice d/l and u/l speed, (2200kbps/1500kbps) but this morning my data dropped in and out alot.
I flashed .54 and .58 and it wasn't as fast as it normally is (tested for about 1/2 hour) so it might of just been bad weather or heavy traffic.
Went back to .67 and it was the same as .54/.58 so I'll give it a day to see how it goes tonight and tomorrow.
*edit.... anyone know the APN settings for optus, i can't recieve mms
You have pm LJE.
thanks guys for the feedback
keep them coming
especially if there are other fellow x10a users out there
edit:AT&T update soon, good news for x10a
Finally flashed new bb to x10i and can definately feel a difference in battery life, touch screen responsiveness and less lag

So are you saying here that the AT&T branded firmware/baseband update would be recommended for Australian X10a users? Or just X10a in general and maybe not for us in Australia?
Cheers.
i think in general
but i do know that AT&T uses the same frequency as Telstra, hence there might be better performance compare to a more x10i centric baseband such as .61 or .67
i haven't had time to do speed test so far
i mainly use .65 now to stay compatible with Trip's ROMs

Well if they use the same frequency them I'd have to say that it would have to be best. (I'm actually on three but they use telstra network so out should be okay!)
