Hi,
i have the X10i and my Provider is e-Plus. My current firmware version is some thing with XXX20 at the end and XXX26 is the latest as far as i know!
How do i get to know if my phone is branded or not?
If it's branded i want to debrand it with this tutorial:
esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=195467
But i need a german generic firmware and i can't find any in the web!
Can you help me?
Regards
Poly
This trick is no longer work
The switching method doesnt work, however, on the android development part of the forum for x10 theres a few download links that will install a generic 026, simply find the one you want download and follow instructions
Vengeance
Sent my rooted X10i using XDA app
but i need a generic german firmware...
The fun part is, I debranded my X10 with the switching method about a week ago. How is this possible then?
Casmo.
I am currently using NTT Docmo Xperia x10 on android 1.6. Its model is SO-01b and i want to upgarde to android 2.1 and unlock the phone as well. But i am not clear which version to use , nordic or global. I am not sure but on according to wikipedia nTT docomo so-01b is based on x10a.
Please someone help me if anyone could give me suggestion.
My Docomo X10 is flashed to global generic 2.1 and running just fine.
Just don't forget to write down your APNs so you can put them back.
You want the "bizho" one, since that's the network where your internet fees are capped.
Thanks for the response gtkashi.I am now in Nepal and want to make the phone work here in Nepal by upgrading to android 2.1. Could u please clarify me whether flashing would make the phone sim free.
it won't. You're just updating the software, not unlocking the phone.
Get in contact with nttdocomo to see what their policies/costs for unlocking your phone are or try to see whether there's some shady services for unlock codes by now.
Global to Docomo firmware 2.1
With this upcoming update for Docomo, if you currently have global 2.1, how would we "instruct" SEUS to flash the Docomo firmware? Would we need to edit some *.prop ?
Personally I'm hoping someone would extract the firmware itself so that the flasher tool can be used to overwrite the existing one.
Either way, 30 min til Nov 10!

Hi, I need help with my X10i. My Dad sent me my X10i from Dubai here in the Philippines w/ 2.1 version. I tried upgrading it to 2.3 and it was successful but I didn't liked it. So I downgraded back to 2.1 only to find out I installed X10a model number instead of X10i. And now, I couldn't enable and connect to Wifi. I used Flash Tool in downgrading. Can you help me by sending to correct 2.1 firmware version of X10i here in the PH?
Hoping for your immediate response. Thank you.
as far as i know flashing any version would not stop wifi from working..
nyways you can flash the global generic versions from this forum..

Also I want to get more carrier roms here, and more carrier settings and stuff here aswell, other than only Vodafone.
I couldn't find the ICS version for me either.
What I did was install 2.3.7 from here:

Hi
I upgraded to ics using that French ftf but now I want to get to my brands rom but I'm unable to, even by changing the build.prop to match my SI and restoring using PC companion (I did that and pcc said that the servers were down)
So, can someone please post the Vodafone PT rom?
My SI number is the 1261-8803
I need this before the end of the week if posible...
Thanks a lot
Sent from my Xperia U
Edit: Even a CWM backup from a rooted VDF Portugal ICS rom it's ok, I just repair and it's done, what I really want is my phone to be with the Vodafone PT rom...

Advice? Install fw .89 and debloat it :cyclops:
Any doubts or questions just PM me in PT :highfive:
You can also find help on this site androidPT is in Portuguese.
But the masters are here in xda-developers.
I don't quite recommend using the .89, I found that debloating .54 got better overall smothness than .89... it's my personal experience, others maybe got different results, I don't know.
I'm actually using a generic unbloated .184 Gingerbread now, and I'm satisfied with it except for the speaker sound...
As TugaDriver said, AndroidPT is a good forum if you're needing help... but I found there some "noobiness"... There are some guides there that are very bad explained and some procedures that are incorrect...
To start you in, if you bought a Xperia U locked to TMN it has "Bootloader Unlock Allowed = No" which means you can't unlock the bootloader.
But, you can root it using the Bin4ry tool, that you can find here in XDA.
To root, you need to be with .10 Sony ICS kernel... if you already updated your phone to .54 on PC Companion, now all you have to do is flash .10 ICS Kernel, boot up the device, follow the rooting procedure, and after the root is done, reflash the .54 ICS Kernel.
Note!: This flashing of kernels is made on the Flashtool by Androxyde. You can only use flashmode. Fastboot is only for the ones that unlocked bootloader. Also, with locked bootloader, you can only flash official Sony kernels.
After you got root access, you can now install CWM For Locked Bootloaders by Atis. This is a costum recovery that you install and lets you flash roms into your phone.
After you got CWM on your phone is time to flash a rom! You can choose whatever rom you like from our forum that has "Locked Bootloader" or "LB" on the name.
All you need to know to start is this. If you have any questions you can leave them in Portuguese to me, via PM.
All the tools I mentioned in this post can be found here on XDA.
I'm in stock .54 debloated with some mods and customizations, and I'm very satisfied with it. My only dream is run cm10 in my lb device
Thanks Rock because I was thinking about unlocking my bootloader but my Xperia u was bought on TMN I thought if I asked for PIN unlock it will unlock my bootloader unfortunately it can't... hope CM10 would come to locked...
Sent from my ST25a using xda app-developers app
If you ask for SIM Unlock you need to then sent it by yourself to the Sony technical assistance here in Portugal, they'll change Bootloader Unlock Allowed from NO to YES

Hi this may be a dumb question - how can I extract/preserve the current stock rom I have on the phone? Like a very few others here I have Xperia Ray ST18a, the North American version (not ST18i, international version) and I want to preserve the stock GB firmware of the phone. I can't find it anywhere online (only ST18i), in the past I flashed it using WotanServer but they seem to be outta the game now. The GB firmware is not available via Sony or XperiFlash anymore as it has been superseded by ICS.
