Hi All,
After installing the zip 720p+panorama on my Defy Plus 2.3.6
System version:
45.0.2310 nonefigs retail EU
Build number:
4.5.1-134_DFP231
it becomes:
2.3.4
45.0.74.MB526.retail.en.DE
4.5.1-134_DFP-74
Is it normal?
P.S. The phone with the mod is working just fine.
This happens with my defy+ too!. i have 2.3.5 but i didint know what was causing it. mine goes form def-50 tp def-74
From what I know/understand it's impossible to downgrade from DF-231 (exept from flashing the phone), so the info that the phone shows is fake somehow. May be the mod overwrites some files/memory portion wich has the firmware id... I don't know just supposing. May be some one more competent can say.

Has anyone put the new Rogers rom on a locked ATT unit?
Any market problems?
Any problems removing Rogers apps?
I THINK want to go to one of the custom roms but I'm only on Baseband 2.0.46
and I don't have Dual Touch installed. But it seems that I'm required to update to the higher bb at least, and though I see a BB update only thread, it's unclear if all basebands are compatible with all SE 2.1 update-1. And then I would still have to update to dual touch prior to installing a custom rom.
Since these are two independent flash requirements, and it seems that I have to update to some rom higher than 504 anyway, so I was wondering if I could just go to the Rogers one.... getting dual touch and a higher baseband right off the bat in an official package in one shot, and check it out prior to deciding to move on.
Different basebands work with different firmwares and kernels. You can mix and match, to some degree (for instance, .55 baseband works with .435 or 2.1.1.A.0.6 FW), but there's really no reason to.
I own an AT&T X10a, and I always use the X10i Global Generic firmwares. All the features without all the crap.
Check out the link in my signature for an optimized version of the .435 firmware (dualtouch, etc). Follow the instructions, there's a file for flashing the new kernel and baseband on there.
Good luck!

But even your firmware says I have to flashtool a higher baseband to get it work prior. (Shouldn't you update your screen shots, you show bb 2.0.46 when you really mean 2.0.54) Though what you've put together is very interesting. Do you still have all the SE apps, too, in the collection of applications? (Just asking, I know they have apk's available.)
I'm just trying to avoid flashing multiple times now*, do a straight 2.1.1.A.0.6 update and flash only once and get higher baseband, dual touch and whatever other tweaks there are which don't require flashing. There's no LAM/NAM generic of this version yet?
*flashtool for me a PITA, because I don't have VISTA/Win7 computers generally available and it works better on that than XP which is problematic due to the SE usb drivers which sometimes freeze it in flash mode. I am getting a decent tax refund, I suppose it's time to upgrade to sandybridge and Win7 (since the first SP is out) before they announce Win8.
Hi,
I got my X10 a few days ago and loving it. I'm used to flashing and custom firmwares as have owned a HTC Magic and also a ZTE Blade, but it seems it works slightly differently for the X10 (unless i am confused). So my questions are below:
1) If my phone and install xrecovery, when Sony releases the 2.3 update will it prevent me from updating?
2) Does anyone who has rooted and installing custom firmware even plan on using the sony software to update to 2.3? I assume that people will just rip the firmware and upload it here to install?
3) I am confused about the baseband, on the previous 2 phones i have installed custom firmwares it seems the firmware and the baseband are totally different entities, but it seems that when you flash some firmwares (i.e. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942477) it flashes the baseband as well. Am i correct?
4) If the baseband flash was to fail, would that result in a brick?
Now I have read some guides and started thinking about installing custom firmwares. I want to stay on the official firmware's but want stuff like JIT etc... Can someone just check though the steps below to see if I have it planned
My current (stock and unrooted) phone is:
Kernel version: 2.6.29 ([email protected] #1)
Model number: X10i
Android version (assume this is same as Firmware version): 2.1-update1
Baseband version: 2.1.54
Build number: 2.1.A.0.435
So I was planning on performing the following steps:
1) Root using SuperOneClick (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906248) It says it is compatible with 2.1.A.0.43
2) Download BUSYBOX from market and install
3) Download xRecovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571 and install using Automatic Installation
4) Download 2.1.A.0.435 Global Generic ROM (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936462)
However I am now confused on what to do with that rom. I have searched and tried to understand the last few days on where to use Flash tools, but I can't seem to understand? I am just used to booting into recovery and wiping cache etc.. and flashing the firmware, but can't seem to understand the guides.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Most of what you want to do can be done with the newest beta flashtool which can root, optimize, install busybox, superuser, xrecovery, and even has a build.prop editor as well as being able to backup the apps and uninstall/install apks.
I think that you are correct that once a GB release is made available for each major geographical area it will end up here and installable via flashtool.
BB are exactly as you say. SE seems to release a lot of them to accommodate different carriers requests for variations in sms, mms messages as well as HSDPA or 3G only. Most of the firmwares here include a bb that was released with the it. Mismatched bb to firmware is a issue, causing problems and some combos seem possibly fatal but generally speaking its hard to kill the X10 unless the battery dies during flash or the usb port is loose.

Hello!
I got this phone for free, can I update it to Android 4.2? If somebody can point me to a tutorial (topic), I found several but since I'm new to the mobile world I'm kinda afraid of ruining the device. I think it's unlocked since I can put any chip on it without a problem.

Thank you!
PS: It shows no updated available, even after lifehacker .com/5946585/force-an-android-device-to-check-for-a-system-update
If the force update shows that this phone doesn't have a update available. Their might be some unofficial roms which are released by people other than your carrier but this might need you to root and install a recovery on your phone but it is highly unlikely due to the fact that this phone is a clone and doesn't have as big of a user base as the originals.

Hello, I have searched everywhere (even on this forum) many posts about it, but didn't find anything really helpful for me.
Canadian XOOM doesn't update to Andoid 4.1.2, but US XOOM does. So, I want US firmware on my tablet.
So, this is my Canadian Motorola XOOM tablet info:
Model: Motorola XOOM (Wi-Fi Only) (Canadian). Official Canadian name: Motorola XOOM Wi-Fi or Motorola XOOM With Wi-Fi
Model number: MZ604
Android version: 4.0.3
Firmware configuration version:
GAS_NA_HUBBLEWIFICANADA_P009
GAS_NA_HUBBLEWIFICANADA_A020
GAS_NA_HUBBLEWIFICANADA_M002
Kernel version:
2.6.39.4-00008-gca76b51
[email protected] #1
Build number: I.7.1-34
Well, I don't know how to unlock BootLoader, how to root, how to flash or anything else.
I just want to upgrade somehow from Canadian to US firmware (NOT custom, I want official stock 4.1.2 firmware).
I don't care if everything will be deleted, I will just backup important files.
And, when I install US firmware, how can I root it?
So, I want my tablet to have installed ROOTED official US stock Android 4.1.2 firmware. (NOT custom firmware)
So, please, please tell me how can I do it?
Thank you so so much...
