In your place i would wait for ICS which will come soon: http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/08/06/xperia-p-android-4-0-4-ics-update-gets-dated/
If it wont be availible from the beginning in SK as it is in XS case, somebody from other country will probably give it here with the guide how to flash it. I did it this way with my XS.
yeah, but still I don't want any stuff from orange, I just want clear phone. I don't know if Orange saved their stuff more deeper to phone. My phone is not locked (I can use any sim) so, does it mean that it is just in fw?? how can I know it?? thanks

It is in the firmware, flash a generic one.

Hi everyone,
I'm in canada and own an x10 with rogers.
Last week, I loaded the global fw on it and rooted it. So far everything works great.
Reading up on other posts, it seems like some ppl who updated prematurely regardless of their regions are planning and coming up with ways to update according to their regions once the official updates roll out.
The question I have is, why? My x10 works fine although it's not x10a anymore. So is it necessary to switch?
Hi man, I just finished to re-flash my X10a with the new Brazilian FW (X10a 2.1) i choose to match Phone Version(X10a) with FW Version(X10a)....reflash is so easy why not?
Btw with GlobalFW my bluetooth dosent work with the laptop (1.6 do) but now with the correct FW works great again (placebo effect? idont kown)
maybe beacuse people want to keep their warranty...

Hi can you post your build.prop? I'm trying to put my 2.1 back to Brazil but I must have missed something, cos PC Companion can't download the file. I might have made a mistake with the version numbers...
Rogers will release 2.1 tomorrow.
Or at least this is the rumor.

It's very unlikely, but, some users also like/want their carrier/region specific bundled applications.
And, like, yeah, warranty.
Hey guys,
first post here. =D
I have a Vivo branded phone (Carrier from Brazil). It's unlocked, but I can't yet update to 2.1 because unlocking does not unbrand. =/ Vivo is only releasing the 2.1 on the last week of november.
There is a lot of information here in the forum, but I found it a little confuse - too much information.
So my question, is there a safe way to unbrand my 1.6 X10a without rooting it?
Thanks!

Tks! But to do that I need to root right? Another question (sory, i'm new to the android plataform) I must update prom 1.6 to, 2.1 World generic then change the code to 2.1 Brazil generic, right?
How can I save the Branded Firmware if I need it in the future?
So, can anyone confirm that the SEUS method to debrand the X10 still works?

1- if you update your phone from 1.6 to 2.1, the code will stay the same (Brazil stays Brazil) unless you use the flash tool to upgrade with another firmware.
2- You can try to download the flash tool with the right firmware if it's available, else, just use the 12XX-XXXX code on your phone (under the battery on the sticker) and rebrand using the different methods available on XDA.

If you mean the one where you have to quickly replace a file while it's updating, no it doesn't work anymore.

When i got my xperia x10 the android version was 2.3.x (i dont know the last number any more), but i couldnt use it with my new sim-card (different provider), so i took it to a store where a guy sim-unlocked it and when i got it back the android version was 2.1.1-update..........but it was sim-unlocked, i then asked this guy if i could update it to 2.3.x or if it would be locked again after the update........he didn't really seem to know but told me not to update because it would relock just as an iphone does he said.......but as i said before, he didnt really seem to know.
So my question is, will it be sim-locked again after i update to 2.3.x (with pc-companion) or not, i really need to be absolutely sure, i dont want to pay (35€) again.
Thanks in advance

Not 100% but no don't think it will re-lock. I'd get a definitive yes or no though I don't want to ruin your phone (as I said, not 100%)

thanks but the problem is that the guy i bought the phone from (not the one in the shop!) told me it was unlocked and he just updated it before he gave it to me and he could still use it with two different sim-cards from two different providers, but i couldnt use it with my sim-card (3rd other provider).........he didnt know why it didnt work with my sim-card, but after the guy in the shop downgraded it to android 2.1 and sim-unlocked it (again???) it worked,..........so i am actually a bit confused because everyone except of the guy in the shop tells me it wont relock but it seems that it has relocked (to 2 different providers???) after the guy i bought it from updated it..........CONFUSIIIIIING
Thats why i really need to be a 100% sure, maybe i need a real expert?!
Mine was unlocked and 2.1 had the same dilema but upgraded it anyway and it remained unlocked....
Thats my story anyway if it helps.
Edit: maybe it's unclear but mine was locked and unlocked just as yours
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
ok, but are there different ways to unlock the x10, because i dont know how mine was unlocked, by code or something else (patch or something, i really dont know), this could possibly make a difference in relocking......?

Download s1tool this will tell u the state of ur bootloader. (read op with it, I never used it)
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
What does the bootloader have to do with the sim-lock? I dont care if my bootloader is locked or unlocked, i just care about if i can still use my sim-card after an update to 2.3.3 or not, but maybe i misunderstood your reply, if so i'm sorry^^
I really need to be sure that it wont (sim-)relock after the update, so is there someone who can tell me for sure why it wont relock or why it will relock?
OK i now received a reply of the service center of sony ericcson, they also told me that the sim-lock would be there again after an update, they told me to bring the phone to the shop again and let them do the update, but thats not possible according to the guy in the shop.
OK, i finally did the update and it remained unlocked......NIIIICE

Ok if u flash ur fone to 2.3 ur fone will accept any card, mine was locked to vodafone, flashed it originally so i could get 2.3 from 2,1 and i have reinstalled the stock software from sony and there where no vodafone items on use the flash tool to do this instead of getting someone to sim unlock, generic android is best way (Not held responsible if device is damaged in anyway)
i have a galaxy ace Unlocked (that's what i think) my phone has The myth advance
the screenshot shows that i have it unlocked but when i put another sim card from other company it asks me to ENTER NETWORK LOCK CONTROL my phone was from telcel(mexico) the new SIM its from T-mobile (USA)
Did you buy it straight from telcel?, if its that the case, then its not unlocked.
no

NOw im trying to put a New Firmware to see if ti works im trying KPD
i dont think changing firmware would unlock the phone, but let some one else answer that 'cuz i really dont know, good luck!
Its Alive, Works.
First i had the myth advance but it wanted me to introduce the code, then i change to telcel and said Locked Network but then i change to the FW KPD and it works and when i restore The myth advance it works.
Wierd, lol, but hey, you make it to work...
Hi, well after a long time of search i finally found the original firmware of my carrier... that is telcel from mexico, i really needed it for a warranty procedure, so I hope its useful to you at least for the same thing
NOTE: this is for ST27A devices, if you have the ST27i and you flash it, the i will turn in an a (meaning it will stop being the international version but the american version of the xperia go)
please hit thanks if it was useful
FTF file is HERE (depositfiles)
and HERE (Mediafire)
I bought an international version tho i need an american one, do you think maybe i can get 3g to work if i flash this ftf??
Edit: Sadly no, 3g won't work i guess it's about hardware.. i didn't really knew. too bad, all i will get with this phone is edge

Hey guys some of you requested a media fire mirror, so i just uploaded it and updated the OP :highfive:
I have the ST27A, but the US version. Are there any important difference between the US and Mexican firmware?
I'm trying to sell my phone used to get something else, and I've been looking for st27a firmware, haha.

well the main issue about this firmware is that it has all the stock useless things that telcel (the carrier) puts on it, so its a very shi** FW, what i could recommend you to do is to put the CE firmware and then with root explorer modify the build.prop to change the version to a st27a, but this FW is only for warranty purposes or things that are needed for telcel issues... hope at least that helps
**bump**

Thanks! Now i can flash jelly bean and dont worry about warranty!
