Hi there to everybody.
I have an x10. I rooted it a while ago. Installed xrecovery, busy box and finally custom ROM. However now, I want to get back to the android 2.1 to make it ready for an update to android 2.3 via PC companion, but the problem is, I don't know how to get back to the 'factory settings', I mean those real ones, cuz when I click restore factory settings it just removes all the stuff from my phone and leaves me with the custom rom. PC companion is not working either for a repair. I don't really know what shall I do.
I was trying to find a thread like that but I could not find it.
cheers

Flash 2.1 firmware with the flashtool, or use SEUS to get back.
Do u have a backup of ur original rom in xrec. What I did was wipe the usual and restore my se backup then let sues do its stuff

thank you very much for the reply. I think there is no backup with xrecovery cuz when I reset the phone and start xrecovery (the one where you use sound buttons to navigate) and i click factory reset, it resets the phone to custom rom. I think that flashtool will do it as I understand. I will give me the original software and it will let me to unroot the phone so I can easily upgrade the phone to android 2.3 via pc companion. That's what I understood and I hope it is right .
btw, in that link that 'hasei' posted, there is a list of generic firmwares. Does it mean if I just download and install 'Generic version 2.3.3 build 3.0.1.G.0.75' using xrecovery and is it the same as android 2.3 installed via pc companion. Is there any difference? Is any of them any better from the other? Is it identical to the one made by sony ericsson? Cuz I think that what the word 'generic' stands for. Sorry for the silly questions but I wanna make sure and I will appreciate any answers.
I just installed 2.1 firmware using flashtool, so there is 2.1-update1 installed. However using pc companion I still cannot upgrade my software to 2.3 using pc companion. Don't know what to do.
n0rbas,
"Generic version 2.3.3 build 3.0.1.G.0.75" is the SE's official 2.3 firmware. "Generic" only means that it's not carrier-branded and nothing was added by a carrier. I guess you could say "pure" Sony Ericsson.
If you are not hell-bent on upgrading the firmware through PC Companion, you can flash the 2.3 firmware through the flashtool, just as easy as you did 2.1. I would take this route if I were you.

thank you for the reply.
I tried to do it, but that 2.3 version is not the one provided by sony ericsson, the graphics is different, I just want to be able to install the sony ericsson one and cannot even If I have a 2.1, it says that it is up to date when using pc companion. Shall I unroot the phone or what? I have no idea.

It really depends on what version of X10 (X10i or X10a) you have and where you are. There are so many kinds of 2.1 firmware, branded or otherwise. You just have to have the right combination of a customization number/unrooted 2.1 firmware to upgrade through the official means.
I don't know what you meant by "the graphics is different," but with all due respect, you are incorrect. All the firmwares shown in that flashtool thread are unchanged sony ericsson ones. But if you think it's different, go with the PC Companion thing by all means.
If you have an X10a, it will be a long wait if any.
Ok, i checked it and it is apparently not out yet for my version. What I mean by the graphics. When you unblock the screen with the slider, the 2.3 has got the new one, the nice one and the one I installed it as a firmware has the 2.1 slider. There are many kind of things that are not in generic 2.3. To be honest I want 2.3 for its graphics. I will try to find 2.3 somewhere else and install it. If it won't work I gonna wait. cheers

Please if someone own this version I need it very because my hardware keyboard id dead, and I want to send my X10mini pro back to my dealer, and this version was on phone when I bought it.
Without this version they wont accept my warrnity!
I tried searching for it everywhere but can't found nothing!
HELP!
Flash your phone via sony ericsson update service, your phone updated to android 2.1, baseband ...015.
Only way is with flashtool, but you need the android 1.6 .sin or .ftf files and i don't know where to get those.
I won't believe that they only take it back in version 1.6. version 2.1 is an official release and thus they should take it back for warranty issues.

Lol so not true its unreal who told you that pmsl

Hi..and thx for replay.
The problem is that my phone haven't update from SEUS.
I try more times to flash from v1.6 and SEUS said that I have the last version on my phone (in my country).
I read om few forums that people complain that SE won't make update for our country and they have not courage to flash with other ROM because of warranty..
Because of that I looking for this version of ROM!
I have a backup of this version but no way to install it back because of Xrecovery version. I made it with lower ver than v0.3 and now everytime I restore it back it stayed on Sonyericsson logo.
Its not a update and were not talking about pc companion we are talking about se update centrer ,,,its diferent it works every ware on all sony phones check it out again

I know that we talking about SEUS update center..Who mentioned PC Companion?
Now when I broke up my warranty, a I can to upgrade to 2.1.1.A.06 from any version!
But with version 1.6 (I tried once mounht ago) I can not!
As as mentioned in post above, I found lot of post from serbian forum where people complain the SEUS updater have not newer version for our country!
When you try to update it comes the message from SEUS: You have the latest version!
Hi..
I m heaving x10i with t-mobile, how can i upgrade to 2.3.3?
Please help.....m new to xda..
Thanks in advance.....

You may be new to XDA but at least you posted your question in the right place. A lot of XDAers who behave and sound like they know what they are doing, don't even follow this rule. So don't worry!
Basically there are 2 ways to upgrade to 2.3.3. One is (1) to upgrade through PC Companion, and the other is (2) to flash pre-rooted version of the ROM.
If you have never used a flashtool or never flashed a ROM before, you should probably go the route (1). All you have to do is to install the PC Companion and connect your X10i to the PC. But you have to wait until an update becomes available for your version of installed 2.1 firmware. Here is something you should take a look at. If you happen to be in the legion where no official 2.3.3 is unavailable now, you may still be able to upgrade anyway if you know how to edit build.prop.
Going through the route (2) is a little more complex than (1) but if you read this or/and this carefully it shouldn't be that difficult.
model no x10i
fw version 2.1-update 1
bb version 2.1.54
kernel version 2.6.29 [email protected]#1
build no 2.1.A.0.435
what should i do to update?
Download the flash tool.
Doiwnload the firmware.
Flash.
As the topic says...
For some reason when i open PC companion it says that i dont need any update and if i use reinstall function it installs me 2.1.1.A.0.6
how to get latest firmware officialy?
i have found at xda 2.1.1.c.0.0. but provided links do not work
Pc companion or SEUS can be terrible if your mobile phone provider hasnt given the all clear for the software update. Sadly some havent, mine reverts to 1.6 (donut) if I use PC Companion so I doubt the phone provider ever will! (my provider states its Sony Ericsson and Sony state its the phone provider - complete non responsibility). The only option is to trawl xda forums for links and flash using flashtool. Hopefully someone will provide a link..
I understand that and here is a funny thing...
some months ago i was only getting 2.1.1.C.0.0 via SEUS or PC Companion till i flashed to older version so i could install gingerbread
And a funny thing, i tried to resintall software thro SEUS and PC Companion few times and all was older 2.1.1.A.0.6 but not only that, every time Keyboard layout was different
Now i have Azerty keyboard instead Qwertz or Qwerty
Please, do not post questions on dev section !!
Theres an question and answer section itself !!

If I were you, I would stay on gingerbread, cause it's more stable, etc.
If you want to update look here for the rom ftf and for flashtool here.
But flashing voids warranty, so better try to update via for example seus, for that look here. It's the official sony tool and maybe with this you can update.
May I ask where are you from, because it should be available via pc companion...
If you want rooted ics you will have to do it with this tutorial
first say u helped me a lot, . and im from bangladesh. i tried to update my phone using pc companion that i got in the free 2gb mmc, .and also tx for the advice, i got that many user have prblm in ics
I'd like to restore the stock 2.3.3 ROM on my X10, but SEUS (or SUS now) doesn't support this model anymore. Is there any other way to do it?
It did five days ago, as I just reset my XPERIA X10i phone.
Admittedly, I didn't download a new version of SUS, but just used an existing version that does check for current version.
Used it to upgrade an XPERIA M a month ago, so know it's latest version.
[Update]
Sony Update service.

Could you provide the source of your SEUS setup (or if you are somehow in possesion of the setup file, could you upload it for me)? I'd be awful grateful.
i've already unlocked the bootloader, and i'm using a custom miui rom..
any idea how to flash it back to stock rom?
I've already given it a try, but there's no option for X10.
