I'm been out of the loop for awhile and just started using my Xperia X10 again. It is a X10i phone locked to Rogers running 2.1-update1.
I've read that 2.3.3 is available for update. However, when I use PC Companion to update it says that the device is up to date.
I originally purchased the phone through a Rogers dealer. But, there was some hardware issues with the phone and I sent it back to Sony Ericsson and they sent me a brand new phone (I'm wondering if this is the issue as the phone I was sent may have been unbranded).
Can someone please show me a tutorial to update or possibly assist me in updating my device. Thanks.
Go to the flashtool thread and look for guides about it.

Hi all
Let me clarify first that I tried searching this topic before creating a new post. I did not find anything to my specific question.
I have a Rogers branded X10.
I used the Proyaz video on Youtube to root my phone. Now my phone's model number shows X10i and the Build number shows R2BA020.
I want to unbrand my phone as well. I have found a couple of guides to debrand the phone but my question is will it work on my phone since its now rooted? Also because it now shows X10i as the model number do I download files for X10a (North America) or X10i (Most of Europe and Asia)? I am in Canada myself.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

hey, 1st of all u havent mentioned that u originally had x10a or x10i? considering that ur location is canada, chances are ur riding on x10a,(Pl check it b4) as far as i know, for debranded ur phone u ill need a custom rom and then root it...so i ill say, follow the bin4ry's method in devlopment forum and then u can end up having a debranded phone along with rooted one..if u dont care about root, then u can try picking one of the roms in jerlepelea's forum in devloper section and flash it...hope this answers ur ques..
The chances are you have already debranded your phone as you've obviously flashed the X10i rom to it, your issue is getting back to X10a, so read some of the threads in the development section.
I have the same question as well (also with Rogers), but instead, I used the one-click root apk to root my x10. I want to know if I can still debrand my phone somehow..because it obviously isn't debranded yet..I still see that annoying Rogers logo when I start up my phone..anyone know? Or should I unroot then debrand??

Read the threads in the development section!
Well I I lost one X10 and got another one (used) since Arc will be coming soon so no reason to spend on a new X10i. Anyways it came with 1.6 and I upgraded it to 2.1 but as soon as I did, it started to give me a huge problem (no service) although my previous X10 had no issues in the same room. I put another sim in my phone but still the same issue. So I want to know if anyone could guide me to some tut where I can downgrade from 2.1 to 1.6....
Regards
Look in development forum and look for a thread named Original Firmware operators it has some good instructions to downgrade...

Hi everyone
My name is Jose and I'm from Puerto Rico. I'm newbie in Android and need some help. I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10a with Android 1.6 and my phone carrier is CLARO Puerto Rico. My question is if somebody could successfully upgrade this phone from version 1.6 to the most recent version available and want to share his knowledge with me. I will appreciate that.
Regards

Try checking out This thread first. That has a lot of information about everything you need to know. Basically, first download the flash tool so you can easily root and install xrecovery.
If you have more questions regarding more specific steps afterwards, let us know.
Help with upgrade
Sony is releasing Gingerbread for the X10 late June or early July. You have to debrand your phone by going to DaVinci Team for $15, and them when the upgrade is available use PC companion.

Problem rooting Xperia X10 android 1.6
First of all i want to thank you for all your responses. Following the instructions in the forum, i downloaded the latest version of Flashtool available (0.6.7.0). After installed in my windows 7 (32 bits) notebook, i run the application and connect the phone. The software recognize the unit and the android version without problems. So i decide and press the root option (The unlocked padlock) and it begin to work. At the end of the process an error message appeared indicating that it can install the busybox software and its stop. The phone is working, but nothing appeared regarding if it root the unit (I think that that no), so when i ran the flashtool utility again, at this time the unlocked padlock is not available. Can anybody help me with that i will appreciate so much.
Hi guys,
I'm getting a new unlocked HTC Evo 3d in a few days. It is unlocked but the software on it is from Rogers. I've been using the xperia x10 for the past few months and have managed to debrand the phone and install android 2.3.3 (full of bugs might I add). So I was using the generic firmware from Sony Ericsson. I'd like to do the same for my Evo but can't seem to find any HTC generic firmwares, all I found were the ones from Sprint and Rogers or vodafone in the UK. The rest were all ROMS from Virtuous ROM. Doesn't HTC have generic firmwares for their phones. I'd like to get rid of the Rogers firmware (especially that logo at bootup) and revert the phone back to generic. Is my only option the firmwares from Shooter?
I'm also thinking of switching to another carrier since the phone is unlocked and dont want anything to do with Rogers.
At this point, I'm thinking either Sprint, Rogers or a Virtuous ROM?
I'm I missing something ... i'm still pretty new to this android world
Thanks in advance
hello,
i just bought a xperia z2, and since saturday i have a problem with my camera: it just shows a black screen and it lags alot when trying to change its options. I;ve searched a bit on the internet but i didn't found the cause of this problem or the solution. can it be fixed? it is an andoird version bug? thank you
Repair your device via sony PC companion
If your phone continue to act faulty you may have a defective peiece and i recomend you replace it
That's exactly what has happened to mine, Sony Repair Center not interested, sorry £360 new phone. Let me know how you get on please.
about repair via seus: my phone was orange branded and some kind of orange android version. So i flashed the general ftf file for my country. If i repair it via seus maybe it will bring the old nasty orange android version ... And by the way am i eligible of receiving OTA updates if i flashed other android version? @JOHNNYMED9: what do you mean by sony repair center not interested? This problem cannot be solved by warranty? Anyway i do not intend to send it because maybe they will reinstall the android version and that is somenthing i can do by myself

Try fresh install using the flashtool. Choose your own customization ftf and flash it. It works for me. Yea i got some lag the day i bought it, but now problem solved.
