Hi, I recently heard that the new update coming for the xperia x10 is only going to work for generic firmwares. Is this correct? If so, how do I install a generic firmware on my phone that would allow me to update it, and which firmware do I use? Thanks!

Use SEUS or wait until its uploaded.

Okay, will this allow me to update to the official gingerbread through pc companion, or does the update come from seus too?
And would lose all my files, or would I still be able to restore with titanium backup? Thanks!

Updated right now with SEUS to 2.3.3 (had the X10i_2.1.B.0.1_CUST-DE GENERIC 1235-7836.zip)
Everything except sd card gets erased. Maybe try SE backup tools of PCC
So do i update my x10a to the same x10i generic you had? do i need to do this through seus? as long as i can get my phone updated to 2.3.3, i don't really mind losing all my apps! so after putting your generic version on my phone, i will update through pc companion, correct? is this how you updated your phone to 2.3.3???
SEUS Repair function Q
Hello!
I am new to both the XDA forums and to the Android modding in general.
A while back I did root my Generic X10i and install Xrecovery on it but now I have heard from several sources stating that I need a "clean" phone to get the 2.3.3 update from SE.
My question is: Does SEUS repair reflash the entire phone and remove all traces of modding so I can update to 2.3.3 w/o any problems?
(I have backed up my contacts and dont mind losing apps, as long as I have the 2.3.3 update)
Good question, I also don't mind losing my apps as long as I get the update!
Does anyone know if repairing you're handset removes traces of rooting?

Repairing wipes your phone and installs an official firmware, so yes. It removes all traces since it's a fresh install.
Any install using the Flash Tool (with wipe userdata checked) will install a fresh firmware.

but Repair will install based on what? the original firmware from that region or the original where the previously installed custom firmware was based on?
Thanks all. Was thinking about a repair based on the original update firmware from pc companion, do I can update once 2.3.3 hits my brand of phone

I have the polish unbrended I9100 with the official LPS update, but I am loosing network all the time and lots of calls go straight to my voice mail. I did try to go back to LPQ, but could not find an officiel one. When I loaded one with the LPR modem I had CSC unknowen and again loosing network all the time. I try to change with the band selection but no luck. I am on Rogers in Canada. Any help will be appreciated.

I've got a similar problem with LPS and LP4. The funny thing is that antenna idicator shows full signal strenght.
Full wipe did not helped.
So you know where I can get an official LPQ? It was OK with it.

It looks like I have two modems now. Is this the case? I will see tomorrow if the receptions is OK and if I will be loosing the network.

if you have the .tar.md5 file, just open it with any zip program like winzip/7zip, then extract the modem.bin.
Sill the sema problem. Now I will try to change the whole rom to LPQ. I really hope it will help.
Now I am on a full LPQ and I still have the network problem. I lose conection to the network and in 10-15 secpnda I get all bars. The problem started when I got the official LPS from the forum. Is it possible the Odin flash to have done fisical domage to the phone? I got it from Expansys USA, but I doubt it they will do something. Any help will be appreciated

I tried only GSM bands and there is no problem, but the moment I add any of the WCDMA bands I start losing the network.
Maybe try full wipe before and after update (usb masstorage, dalvik cache and system) and flash LPQ again.
Or go back to 2.3.x

I did a full wipe, but now I do not have CMW, because I thought it had to do something with the rooting. Is there a way to test if the radio is fiscally damaged? thank you very much for the respnse!!!

I don't know if its possible to check it.
But can't you just flash some GB ROM using Odin? If its still doesn't work correctly with GB ROM than it must be something wrong with the phone.

I rooted the phone, did a factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, after install a new rom wiht Odin, factory reset and still the same. I bought it with Expansys USA, and they told me it will take 6-8 weeks to have it sent for warranty repair. I guess I will try with a GB rom and see. Thank you.

So far no luck. The last thing I put was the Luxembourg file, but it has the same modem LPS. I was trying to have a different CSC and see if this will help, but it did not.
Now I am giving a last try with UK O2 file, and if no difference I am sending it back to Expansys US for repair. I hope they do not come back and tell me that there is no problem with the phone.
dont want tobe rude but it seems you are not listening to what ppl saying......
before you snd your phone atleast check with Gb ROM.
if i were you i would full wipe the phone including system partition and flashed stock GB ROM using odin. and tested it without doing any thing more.
you want to fix your phone you better start forgeting your stuff and try what has been said here.
Hi all,
I installed CM9 on my Xperia Neo V using the instructions on the wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_Neo:_Full_Update_Guide. Now I'd like to go back to standard firmware in order to use HDMI out and other features.
I made a backup with CWM. Can I simply restore it with CWM? Will that restore the original kernel as well?
Or do I have to use flashtool to reflash the standard firmware? And if so, do I have to download one from here or can I look for the latest official version from the local Sony Ericsson site?
Thanks all. I searched and read a lot but I wanted to be sure before I go ahead.
Restore ur nandroid backup, or flash official firmware ftf file through flashtool... Download ftf from XDA forums..
i think it is better if u can flash the official frameware using flashtool...
Thanks, I'll do that. That won't relock the bootloader though now - will it? So if I want to go back to a custom ROM it should be easily done with fastboot?
Thanks again for the replies.

No, that won't relock the bootloader though.. Flashing firmware just makes your phone go back to the official stock ROM..
And if you want to go back to a custom ROM, then flash the appropriate kernel through fastboot and then install the ROM via CWM!

Hi, same question here. However, I only have the backup made in CWM at hand and it is quite urgent. It is of a fresh install of the original ROM. Will that do? Which settings should I choose to restore, what should I wipe etc.? Happy about any hints.

You don't need to do anything extra when restoring the backup, just go into recovery.. Backup and Restore and then restore your backup..
No wipes are to be made since it will restore your device to the point of your backup, in your case your original ROM..
Keep in mind that if there's a custom kernel right now, it won't restore the stock kernel.. Just the ROM

Great, thanks for the information. So to also revert to stock kernel do you by any chance know where I can find it? And should I flash it (with CWM?) before or after restoring the nandroid backup?
EDIT: I found MT11i_4.1.B.0.431. That still leaves the question about the correct sequence.

Since you're restoring the stock ROM, custom kernel won't do any harm..
But if you want to revert to stock kernel then they should be in the General or Development section (I am sorry I can't point out exactly where since I don't own this phone anymore)
And yes, stock kernel that you'll find in the threads would be of ftf format that can be flashed only with the help of flashtool..
Kindly read the instructions of how to use flashtool if you're unaware of this!

Just lock your bootloader.Then flash stock firmware (.ftf) file via Flashtool.
I don't recommend CWM restore.

Same here, ftf flash with Unlocked Bootloader NO PROBLEMS!
So I had this rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1876792) and i wanted to go back to my official rom. I went to CDW wiped out system, date, ect etc and I tried to restore my backup which I did with my CWM before I use the custom rom. Everything ok but when I reboot me device it shows the bootlogo of the custom firmware and not the sony and after that it goes black. How do I solve this? I searched but I didnt find anything
Please be more exact on what you wiped and formatted all. What kernel and cwm version are you using? Did you made the nand backup with the same cwm version?

And you flashed back stock (based) kernel?
When you flash .ftf rom using a flashtool, it flashes all official components (rom, kernel, baseband) by default. I apologize flashtool is a most useful method to go back at stock rom. What do you think?

Download flashtool. Download ftf of firmware u want to flash. Open flashtool and drop that downloaded ftf file in flashtool window. Then check no final verification. Click ok. Then follow instructions given by flashtool. Done. Simple as that.

And be careful with device drivers. Install it from a Flashtool folder to avoid a flashing problems.

One last thing, as I said in my first post before i go to jelly bean i made a back up using CWM(The backup was on official ICS 4.0.4 + rooted + BL open). If I want to go back at that backup the only thing i need to do is go to CWM, delete system, delete data, detete etc etc and I do the restore?
Or I need first to flash a kernel for ICS and THEN restore the backup? Im still kinda confused with the kernel thing and the restoration...

Yea. Cwm doesn't reatore kernel. Just the system, data dalvik etc.
You'll need an ics kernel like alliance or suave to boot into the restored backup.

If you used cwm from kernel, then yes, after you flash stock kernel, you will need to instal cwm to system.
