My boyfriend and I both just got xperia x10s. We both did a one click root and we both have R2BA020 as our build numbers. How can we get up to 26 or whatever the latest one is? Thanks
Hi.
Google "SEUS" and update your phones, but you will have to run the one click root app again.
Hi going through Seus is a difficult i'll tell you a simple method go into settings then click about phone on the top you will find software update just click it then you will see update now just click that whoa! your X10 will be updated to the latest 026 i hope it will work for you coz it worked for me and my cousin,regards.
If OTA doesn't work try SEUS cos updates are not always available OTA.
SEUS and the phone updater both say we are up to date...
If you are with Rogers, then you won't be able to update to the latest firmware. You will have to flash another .26 rom.
To flash to the latest firmware and get the root, follow these instructions:

Maybe unlocked, but I think file downloaded via OTA has been corrupted.

If it's unlocked never do an ota update or your phone will brick!
A word of advice better not go for the OTA update. Instead use flashtool and flash the .587 firmware!
Omate today told that the new firmware update is available by OTA update. But, I checked this update and I did not found anything. If my device is rooted can i still able to received updates or this is the Problem? Also, can I make unroot to able to Update? Any one have to advice
I'm on stock

I haven't rooted and I could download and apply the OTA fine, so it would appear that rooting prevents OTA!

I install application called OTA ROOT KEEPER which allow me to unroot the device and re root again, but also nothing happens after unroot it
Why don't you check threads before you open new one?!
I opened one and we said everything there...

Hi, so I have Z2 on 5.0.2 and I've rooted my phone about a month ago with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/root-t3108230. And now, when the 5.1 update was released I can't update because my phone says it's up to date. I've tried connecting to PC and update through PC companion but same result occurred.
Now before you start saying that I won't be able to update through OTA because I have dual recovery, I can remove the recovery and do full unroot can't I? But that's currently not my problem because I won't get the OTA anyway.
BTW, my friend (same country, same phone) received the update 2-3w weeks ago...
So, my question is.. Is the fact that I've rooted my phone affecting OTA? And if so, can I just unroot and then I will receive the update?
Or just install a rooted 5.1 zip in recovery? Pretty sure this has been talked about over and over and over and over and over............

Well, I've read that, but 1. I heard about some people having issues with prerooted roms and 2. I wasn't really sure if I could with the guide I followed. I guess I'm gonna try it then...
You can always flash a generic ftf via flashtool, it is an unmodified stock firmware file, no root etc..
