Help forum members need the original UK 02 firmware to exchange the Xperia s for a new one
Here you go...
https://hotfile.com/dl/149774769/af18eb4/Xperia_S_0.67_Stock_o2.zip.html
it's an ftf file so you will obviously need Flashtool.
Thank you worked a treat.
Not working For me
Hi there,
I am in the same situation as you, and wanted to take my xperia s back for exchange due to the yellow tint problem. However, the o2 firmware from the link above isn't working for me. I used flashtool but I am getting this error.
01/032/2012 16:32:53 - ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CODE="0019";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed";
How did you get it working?
Just got the file and it installed. But I returned the phone without the o2 branded firmware. You can send it as all they will do is replace it or send it for repair and reflash the o2 firmware on the phone. The o2 gurus at store would just reflash the o2 firmware on the phone anyways so you shouldn't have any problems.

I need help to Revert back to Voda 1605.
How do i do this now?
Which firmware version shoud i use and which Vodafone ROM?
When i used the Dopod Firmware and Vodafone UK Extended Rom from the XDA site, i got errors saying cannot find windows\\vodafone.bmp.
I guess the Vodafone UK Ext ROM looks for custom files which shoud be there, however, as it the Dopod one, they are not there and gives a error.
Can some please send me this file and help to get it back to vodafone?
There is no official rom upgrade from Vodafone, so at the moment you can't revert back to the original VF ROM.
You'll need to wait until they release a ROM update.
Regarding the Vodafone.BMP error, see this post.
If you put an image in windows with the name vodafone.bmp it will let the extended rom run. However, it WILL NOT revert you back to the vodafone ROM. You'll get the 3 symbol, the setup things but the phone skin will be broken and you will not have the voda theme - have to wait for a voda rom
Ok so I tried updating my australian (3) X10minipro to uk generic. Sony companion tells me it was upto date.
Not a problem I thought, well I must have the uk firmware...
So I went ahead and edited build.prop again to install 2.1. Same problem? Sony companion tells me the phone is upto date.
Thats ok I went and tried to force repair of phone but now im told:
"unable to download your phone software. please check your internet or try again later."
Screenshot:

Any help appreciated. Have I done something wrong. I am using the build.prop out of a thread in this forum.
Thanks
Hmm now I'm trying to edit my build.prop to the uk one again. So I can try force restore on that then try the 2.1 firmware again.
rm build.prop
rm failed for build.prop, Read-only file system
Any idea on this too? It's all so frustrating no-one else seems to be having any problems.
The update is not yet available anywhere else than the nordic countries... It will be more widely available in the next weeks... Changing to UK f/w won't help...
That is correct. I am trying to update my australian x10 mini to nordic firmware. This is entirely possible.

Are you a sony ericsson representative?
ok. Got the uk prop file on the phone. i used root explorer to mount the filesystems read write. same original error now.
pc companion download error.
im lost now... what am i doing wrong
I can only tell you that changing to UK prop won't help because 2.1 has (to the best of my knowledge) not been released in the UK yet.
But dont I need uk generic before doing an update to nordic 2.1?
That's true... I'm awaiting as well. I have the UK generic ROM... I thought will be the first one, but most of us were wrong...

You need a nordic generic to update to nordic 2.1.
UK is not a nordic country (serious apologies if that comes across as patronising)

How do you know if you have the UK Generic rom?
I got my mini pro on o2 last week but there is no o2 branding at all on it.
Get into secret menu (on locked screen push: home, back, back, home, back, home, home, back) and then in Software Info if you have the customization version: 137-392_R8A, if not, yours isn't unbranded, it's a custom o2 rom.

if the links in Intratechs thread are down your best bet is to wait till he updates his links my friend either that or try SamFirmware

BTW you can flash any of the Vodafone Australia firmware and they will have to accept it back since it's a software update from the manufacturer approved by them. It doesn't have the be the original firmware that came with the phone.
Thanks, I do have dukj1 on the phone, the one supplyied here but when I went into kies it said it wouldn't beable to offer any updates. I know it the most recent one, but didn't want vodafone to have any reason to not cancel my contract.
thanks for the link
Hi guys,
I'm desperately searching for the X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_VFE-DE VFE 1234-4587.zip firmware.
As multiupload seems to be down, there's no chance to download it from there...
I tried several other sharehosters - but: no luck...
Has anyone access to this German Vodafone branded X10 2.3.3 firmware?
Thanks so much for helping me!
/x10sw
I have some ROM's but not in german
Thread may be closed.
Someone provided me a file and I'm fine now!
Thanks,
/x10sw
Would someone kindly provide this file also for me?
Thanks in advance!
I've got only X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_1241-1846.ftf If you want I can upload it.
Hi dedeman,
thank you for your kind support.
But your firmware isn't with German Vodafone Branding, is it?
I need any German Vodafone firmware, doesn't matter which version.
Yeah, it's generic, not branded one. But why are you looking for Vodafone rom?
Because of the late updates of branded Vodafone devices, i have debranded my X10.
So i have the generic german firmware since more than one year ago.
Now I have a problem with my device and I think Sony will not accept this defect as warranty because there is not the branded Vodafone firmware on it...
Hi!
I'm looking too much for the firmware with the vodafone branding!
Has this any person?
If so, then a great big thank you ever!
regards,
sirrobin001
I debranded my Xperia S about 6 weeks ago to fix the GPS problem, fed up withwaitin for Orange to do the update. Orange is now on version .75 and I'm still on .67... Does anyone have the Orange firmware so I can rebrand my phone... I can find T-Mobile NL but no Orange (UK)
Thanks
Why do you care about rebranding now? Orange bloat? Flash TW .76, remove the bloatware, enjoy.

Maybe he wants it incase it has to go back to Orange UK?
Maybe he isn't sure if putting the Taiwanese firmware on there will let some of his apps (Banking etc) work?

Many thanks for both your replies.
Here is my reasoning:
The auto update facility doesn't work with .67 and I don't want to keep checking for flash updates
When I have previously updated its taken half a day to get my setting back to how I like it.
If I need to return the handset to Orange wouldn't an incorrect firmware invalidate my warranty
When I manually updated I assumed I'd be able to regress

No probs mate, many moons ago I used to work at the Darlington Orange office firstly on Handset Faults/Tec (A lot of them have no idea and follow a flow chart on their screens!) then moved onto Handset Insurance & Fraud Investigation. So I had a fairly good clue as to why you would want the original firmware.

Bit the bullet and upgraded to firmware to .73 (Swedish) it is now auto updating to.75 ... and it didn't loose my settings... must have been something wrong with the .67 firmware I used.
I need this firmware too (Orange UK) as I need to send my phone back to Orange for warranty reasons. Any way I can change my firmware back to Orange from UK Generic?
The only way I can think of is;
1. Unlock Bootloader
2. Flash another firmware region with a rooted system.img
3. Change the customisation number in build.prop to the Orange UK one.
4. Re-lock bootloader
5. Flash with PCC hoping that it will recognise my device as Orange Uk
Would this work?
