Hello, I used agentJBM's guide to update from 1.6 to 2.1 and haven't had any problems since, until now. When I try to update to 2.3 it says "no update available" even though the roll out map says it's available. I've tried checking from the phone and while hooked up to the PC.
I checked the phone according to the rollout map and I have "X10i GLOBAL-GGL GENERIC 1232-9897". Seems right, but aren't I supposed to be getting this update to?
I realize I can flash it but I'm the type that was looking foward to the official update, straight from the factory and I was just curious why my phone won't acknowledge the update. If this question is in the wrong place, please just tell me where to post and I will do that, thank you.
try reinstal seus or pc companion to get the latest update

Downloadw the latest SEUS and PC-Companion.. and then try updating it .. This should work
Just not working
I appreciate the replies, but I just uninstalled both PC companion and SEUS, and nothing is seeing an update!
Again, I used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1012380
Both my phone and the programs say "no update available"
This is very frustrating and I would greatly appreciate some help or an answer of some kind. AgentJBM has ignored my question, but in his guide he stated I would be among the first to receive the official 2.3 update! And I don't see anybody else having this problem! Please help!

Hmmm okay looking at the rollout map, the firmware for your customization was rolled out only 4 days ago 16/08/2011. so technically u shud be okay to upgrade, not sure y u cant really, ur on the at&t network arent u? wot i wud recommend u to do is use this which i have found for u, it is the official stock se 2.3.3 global generic firmware http://www.multiupload.com/G5I7H9OQRA (props to the uploader). just use flashtool to flash the ftf and ur ready to go and will be running official SE 2.3.3 software
Ok, I am on ATT, I am concerned that I cannot get the update, but as long as I have a working phone I am ok. Thank you very much for the link, I am confused about flashing without the newbie guide assuring me I'm not missing anything. But since you say it's simple, just like I did last time, then I will go ahead and flash it now. Thank you again!

Oh that won't be a problem, thanks for all the help. I have been looking foward to this update for a long time. If there's anything I can do to repay you please let me know. I just started a new job so I can't buy you a drink until next week haha!

@ 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.
firmware update
hello,

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

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.

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.

sadly SEUS tells me any time i connect to it ..that i have latest update !!!
From what you have said it seems the 2.1 isnt out on your network, I'm going to assume your phone is branded. By that i mean, locked to your provider with a customised firmware. If you cannot wait i suggest rooting and debranding, i believe you can visit this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683793 . thats the one i used as i am also rather noobish, however its easy to follow and will flash 2.1 on your phone.
Hope this helps
@puremods -
from your arc unlock screen -
press the following keys
Menu back back menu
back menu menu back
go into the service info menu..
go into model info..
tell us what it says in there...
^ guy above me, i have the same problem im not very tech savvy but i did the secret menu thing and it said
country: Singapore
Carrier: Singtel
anyway, Im on T-Mobile USA, and i heard there is update out (2.1) in Singapore, but my phone says its up to date its still on 020 firmware.
is there a way to update to 2.1 without rooting, i heard of the flash tool but the guy didn't give very clear instructions.
so if someone can link me to that thread and also give me VERY detailed instructions it would be greatly appreciated.
i worked in a college cafeteria for a year just to save up enough money for my x10 and im not going to risk bricking it by doing something wrong
Mine says
Model x10i
Country: Global Generic
Brand: Generic
Which method would be best for me to upgrade? Using SEUS doesnt work, when i boot it in flash mode and press enter on the program, nothing downloads.
Sorry for posting in your thread, i just dont want to open another one.
@vengeance1990
Thanx for helping ...i hope if this link will help ...but still don't know which file i have to download
cause my experience in phone softwares and programming is little
@ im_iceman : this sequence is not working
i did it many times and still nothing
@ im_iceman:
sorry it works
model info is
Model:x10i
Country: Mena Arabic (b)
Brand customized
and if u want the software info tell me too
Ok.. unless you want to wait for your official f/w to be released you'll need to root (suggest downloading the oneclick root app - This is the simplest as it does exactly what it says on the tin!) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7913568&postcount=338
install the apk file on your phone and run it...

You have to restore to a stock official ROM. Have a good read at this thread. It should have all the info you need.
but, which file ive to choose? :/

Find your country and choose the most recent one. For example if you're from China/HK then ZSKF1 would be your best bet. It's pretty self-explanatory
Iam from germany
so ive to flash the german newest file on my phone? and than kies accept my phone, so it will automaticly update my phone? for example on ics if it comes.
Thank you for your help

Yes, however as you'll be flashing the latest release it could take several weeks if not a couple of months for the ICS update to hit kies. Although March 1st has been rumoured to be the release date.
Hello There,
I have a little problem here. When I try to update via PC Companion, it tells me that I already have the latest version, but I don't think I do. Truth be told, I already messed up a lot with this phone in the past, but I calmed down, because it got so slow to the point of being unusable, Then I reset to factory, but there must be something wrong left. The info I have in the "About Phone" is:
Model Number: St 15 i
Android Version: 2.3.4
BaseBand Version:8x55A-AAABQOAZM-203028D-56
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9-perf
Build Number: 4.0.2.A.0.42
Any hints, please ?
Do a favor to yourself. Unlock your bootloader & install CM 10.1 rom by the master mikeioannina. HERE.

You can connect your device to the PC and through PC Companian make a repair and it will install the stock ROM for your device and everything will be alright.
It did not work
Thanks, but the repair procedure did not work as well, it says there is no software available for my phone, pretty much what the software update procedure did. I guess the problem is bigger, because as I mentioned before, I really messed up with the phone previously, I think there is some kind of version conflict in the device.
Cheers
Flash stock ftf file via flashtool or else tried SUS (sony update service)

Maybe you unlocked your bootloader? That would make any Sony tool useless. I guess the best way to fix it - use flashtool, as mentioned by others
As I understand it, I don't need to unlock the bootloader in order to flash different official firmware versions to my phone. I'm leaving the bootloader locked until I really have a need to unlock it, because of the long-shot hope for a root exploit that will let me preserve my TA partition. As part of that, I really don't want to be stuck on a recent firmware version with all the old security holes patched. Therefore I want to get ahold of my current firmware or earlier before I flash anything. Somebody stop me here if I've misunderstood and anything I've said so far is impossible.
I have the dual-sim variant, G8342, running firmware 47.1.A.2.324.
Question 1: Is there a source somewhere of archived XZ1 firmware versions that includes 47.1.A.324 or earlier? I have searched the forum and google, but most xperia firmware backup sites have little or no files for the XZ1, and the couple of sources I've found are ancient with broken links. The post on these forums with stock firmware downloads only includes much newer versions.
Question 2: Is there a way I can extract a copy of my current firmware from my phone, without unlocking the bootloader? I find tutorials that work for "any xperia", but they're all quite old and talk about Sony PC Companion instead of Xperia Companion, and they all involve clicking "Your software is up to date"--and my software is not up to date, and updating it before backing it up would defeat the entire purpose of backing it up.
I'd greatly appreciate it if someone could clarify this for me so I can flash new firmware without losing the ability to go back.
Hi there, sorry i can't help you with your questions. I have one more question actually. are you sure i don't have to unlock bootloader if i flash official stock firmware??
Opposite to you, i'm stuck with a really old build from 2017. my phone is xz1 and its build version is 47.1.A.2.374. android security patch is from october 2017 and i desperately want to update the newest firmware yet i'm always told that my firmware is lastest.
sooo, am i able to flash it with the flashtool or newflasher?/
thank you

Seems highly unlikely that you haven't received an update since 2017 but then stranger things have happen.. New phone, carrier branded hmm..
Have you tried to update with Sony Companion, use the software update on the phone its self..
Oh and yes you can use the other methods you have mentioned..
