Which Firmware do I need to use to debrand my phone considering the info below? I've read like 10 threads here about debranding but everything got me confused and I'm desperate to debrand because my carrier has configured everything needed for Internet and MMS and they cannot get my cel to work. Could someone post a link to the download and point me into one thread that I can use to debrand it?

I believe you can use this method

Easy to do, works first time as well

Your firmware is fine.
The problem is that in the American region we use the X10a (Tigo uses the 850 frequency for its 3G Data), your phone wont be able to use 3G in America because the X10i doesn't support the 850 frequency for 3G data, you will still be able to use EDGE over GSM with your phone since it is a QUAD BAND GSM phone - try setting your phone to only use GSM (Is is under Settings > Wireless)

Hi already tried using only GSM. Do you think I should debrand to X10a?
If you still think that you need to debrand, use the LATAM firmware from CLARO GT. That should make your phone behave more or less like a X10a. I debranded mine from CLARO GT to the Generic NA or Generic LATAM and both work fine here in El Salvador. YOu can eve use ROGERs form the post about debranding, use FLASHTOOL.

Hey thanks for the tip!! I got it working now! I flashed my X10i to X10a so it matches the TIGO frequency using this method by Grospolina (just applied step 1)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7490733#post7490733
After this my model is now X10a Generic LAM(b) Customized. So I just applied the APN's again and it started working with Edge.
For rooting it I used the Standalone X10 root.apk v. 1.06 http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...2&d=1281606816 and installed Market Access.
Thanks!!!
Does are good new.
Enjoy your stay in Central America.
MMH he said that R2BA026 is X10i, im in canada and i installed the R2BA026 rom and my phone says its a X10i in the about. BUT I STILL HAVE MY 3G..!!

Hello guys, i know it must be in somewhere in this forum but i just can't find it (and i searched a lot). I'm new at this stuff of using custom rom's so here it goes:
I have a Xperia X10 Mini with the following stuff:
Model Number: E10a
Version: 2.1-update1
Band Base Version: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404006
Kernel Version: 2.6.29
Version Number: 2.0.A.0.504
Im from Brazil and i want to upgrade my version number to the lastest one to be able to do the custom roms and stuff i guess the latest one is 2.1.1.A.0.6 right?
How can i do it? I already tried with SEUS and it gives me that "I already have the latest version of my software installed", tried to reinstall the software by SEUS and it only got me to the stock 2.1-update1 SE rom, with the same 2.0.A.0.504.
Can somebody help me please? If need more information just ask me! Thx everyone!
Download SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update service) from SE site and update ur phone. Or else use PC companion (i prefer SEUS) , you can get that as well from SE site.
You need flashtool
get it here: http://rapidshare.com/#!download|942l36|448500453|FlashTool_0.2.7.1.exe|51239

And is there a problema to update from a E10a firmware to a E10i firmware?
Do you know where i can download (a link in the forum maybe) a 2.0.A.0.504 stock? Just to be safe if something goes wrong and i install it back?
Or i can do it by SEUS?
Sorry because i'm a totally newbie about it. I just want to learn before do it.

Hey bro,
the best thing to do it to download the flash-tool and the appropriate fw for your e10a.
Here is the link for flash tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943645
That should explain everything you need to know.
Cheers,
evilbarcode.
EDIT: Do not download e10i instead of e10a, if your device is the e10a the problem with downloading e10i that is it will lock up the bands your sim provider uses to get you signal. e10i is gsm and e10a is the new cdma or whatever it is called now. well thats what ive been told. Someone can correct me if im wrong.

Oh. WEll maybe the newer fw is ok to flash to any phone of the same model. Back before the 2.1 update came out i accidentlly flashed u20a to my u20i and i could not get any reception anywhere near me. I duno either that or maybe i just f**ked up somewhere along the way haha. well good luck then.

you will probably not be able to recieve 3G... But you can easily flash over the e10a baseband without deleting any user data
Well at the moment you wont be able to flash e10a, as I (and probably neither you) can't find E10a 2.0.2.A.0.24 (baseband 006) nor E10a 2.1.1.A.0.6 (baseband 015)
I've promised Blagus to work on getting the e10a firmwares So when I do I'll send the e10a bb015 firmware to you

se x10 mini pro u20a on baseband 015?
I think perhaps baseband M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015 will run 3G on 900/2100Mhz, so if you use this on your U20a (E20a?), you can still get 3G, but maybe only on 2100Mhz.
NOT 900 (hardware for U20a does 850/1900/2100 I think) and
NOT 850 (since baseband 015 only does 900/2100)
I have a u20a with stock baseband M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404006 - it gets 3G on 850/1900/2100Mhz.
I'm just trying to clarify this, cos I want to use Owain's cyanogen 8 mod, but it requires bb M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015 and I don't want to lose my 850Mhz coverage...
Am I a clueless Noob, or does this make sense to anyone?
Anyone else out there have a U20a running custom roms and getting 850Mhz coverage and care to share how you got there?

Rich

Hey bro,
Yes this does make sense. I have u20i so i cant confirm whether or not it works that way but i guess it would all depend on which freq your service provider uses (i know you posted that) but using flashtool you can go back to what fw and baseband you previously had installed. i do notice tho that you have the old build number. Whats up with that? Has an update for 2.1 not been released in aussie? I dont mean the actual 2.1 update from 1.6, i mean an update to the 2.1 fw itself. I guess unless someone can confirm i would just go for it and see what happens and if it dont work then flash back haha. But do a xrec backup first then if you need to go back it wont be so hard. If you need i can even recreate and update.zip for you from your xrec backup. Anywho, let me know if i can help some more.
Peace,

The baseband version (006/015) shouldn't affect your reception! What will affect your reception is wether you install e10a (u20a) or e10i (u20i) - The a-versions are for CDMA networks while the i-versions UMTS networks
u20a firmware
Thanks for the quick answers guys -
@Orkeren : I think you're right that I need to install u20a firmware, not u20i in order to get reception on the right bands. I just need to find some u20a firmware with an up to date build so that I have a good chance of getting custom android builds to be compatible with the phone firmware (if I read the forums right). The u20a us still UMTS, not CDMA, it just uses different frequencies - in particular 3G is 850/1900/2100 instead of 900/2100.
@evilbarcode : Yep, I do have an old build (2.0.A.0.504) which cannot be upgraded ota with my carrier. I'm thinking of flashing the brazillian u20a firmware linked above with flashtool (which may have build 2.1.1.A.0.6 or at least be able to be updated to that with SE's online update tool SEUS) and then install a custom rom like miniCM or gigglebread that needs 2.1.1.A.0.6 "for kernel compatibility."
I have downloaded clean firmware from SEUS (for my carrier), got those files from C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\13740270\blob_fs and decrypted them with flashtool, so I can revert to this if I get stuck. I already did this to test, which worked ok except my screen didn't come back on after power saving a couple of times (WTF?) until I did a firmware repair with SEUS again.
Questions to anyone who may know :
1. Is the baseband hard linked to the build number?
2. Is the baseband specific to a model #? U20a/i E20a/i If anyone has or had a stock u20i on bb 006, or a u20a on bb 015 we can answer this. I know the e20i and u20i both use 015
3. to revert to baseband 006 if I need different bands (am only assuming this) what .sin file(s) should I flash back?
4. Is there really any difference in firmware between the a/i versions, or is it all in hardware? I have yet to find a certain opinion on this, though it makes sense that there would be a difference.
Gonna experiment a bit and I'll let you know how I go...
cheers, and thanks again guys,

How to get 2.1.1.a.0.6 on your u20a!
Looking good so far.
I just used flashtool to put u20a brazillian firmware onto my Australian U20a handset. I downloaded the one linked on xda's thread for the u20a (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=777660) which came up as baseband 006 and build 2.0.A.0.504 (same as my Telstra U20a stock).
Using SEUS downloaded from SE, this successfully updated to bb 015, build 2.1.1.a.0.6! Unlike my Telstra firmware which would not update with seus.
I will use flashtool to decrypt the SEUS downloaded files and make another zipped fw for those who want to skip a step.
Now for some custom fun ! (rubs hands together with glee)

userdata
btw I did not flash userdata.sin and kept my apps and settings.
So far so good.
Hi Guys,
Done some searching and haven't found an answer to this. My apologies if i have missed it!
I'm a bit of a newb at flashing, i've only flashed stock 2.1 and cyanogen mod 6.5 to my xperia so far. I'm currently on baseband .54 on my xperia x10a. All the gingerbread roms i'm looking at have a baseband of .71. I'm currently looking to flash wolf break's one.
My question is, since i need 850\2100 wcdma for coverage, will flashing this baseband affect that at all? Or do I totally misunderstand basebands?
Many thanks in advance!
Note: my xperia already says it's a x10i (but it's definitely a x10a) in about phone. But i'm just paranoid since i use my phone for work
I'd really appreciate some help if any of you guys know
As far as I know all the frequencies will work.

Thankyou very much, can you explain how you got these files please?
Do you have the ST18a ones too?
I just dropped cyanogenmod urushi nightly onto my xperia ray.
It started as a stock st18a and after the nightly reports as an st18i. Weirdly everything seems to be working. I'm assuming I hosed HSPA freqs, though. I haven't figured out how to test that.
Anyhow, I do have a nandroid image of my stock st18a prior to cyanogen. I have no idea how to pull the baseband from that (looked around here and googled a fair amount to no avail). Happy to do so if someone can give me a pointer.
no link for .64?
please show step by step flash to st18a

Works fine in my Xperia Ray st18a(i) *model changed due to CE Gingerbread, but no big deal. Still connecting to 2g and 3g no problems so far. Stock Kernel.
Only problem with Xperia Ray st18a is very Low volume level in Calls, both on Speaker and Ear Speaker. I don't know if this is due to the baseband or firmware. I could only find st18i Gingerbread firmware.
---- Edit - now trying baseband 64 with Gin2KK ---- will update. I know there are a lot of users throughout the world still using older devices so if anyone is reading this, I will keep you guys posted.
Which firmware (Baltic or Nordic) I can install on my Generic Z2 bought from Sony Canada Directly?
Thanks
any generic firmware can be used on your device
I've read that as well. My question is why does Sony release numerous generic unbranded ftf files? What's the difference between Nordic generic unbranded ftf and say North American generic unbranded? And if there's no difference, why not just release one single universal generic unbranded ftf? Mind you I don't think North American ftf is rolled out yet.

Ahh. I wonder if that's what was causing me wifi and Data drops with 4.4.4. I was using North American unbranded (I'm in Canada) but I never did try any other unbranded regions.

It shouldn't effect WiFi cause it is same around the world. I was more concerned about LTE radio . I bought the phone directly from Sony so there minimum bloatware, weren't anything except the Sony apps and vine which I removed.
I installed the Nordic version everything seems good so far. Followed the following article

That's good to know at least.. What's the difference between that method and just downloading the ftf and flashing that though?

Nothing I think you are skipping the first two steps
1) Downloading the files from Sony servers
2) Creating the ftf file from that
This gives you choice downloading files for any region
