This is my problem, i connected with my USB (U20i)with Cyanogen7 and mounted and they update and they said i had the latest update. i selected X10 Mini Pro and instead after installing, they said i have the latest software with a Xperia W8 logo. Help!!
Hi there to everybody.
I have an x10. I rooted it a while ago. Installed xrecovery, busy box and finally custom ROM. However now, I want to get back to the android 2.1 to make it ready for an update to android 2.3 via PC companion, but the problem is, I don't know how to get back to the 'factory settings', I mean those real ones, cuz when I click restore factory settings it just removes all the stuff from my phone and leaves me with the custom rom. PC companion is not working either for a repair. I don't really know what shall I do.
I was trying to find a thread like that but I could not find it.
cheers

Flash 2.1 firmware with the flashtool, or use SEUS to get back.
Do u have a backup of ur original rom in xrec. What I did was wipe the usual and restore my se backup then let sues do its stuff
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
thank you very much for the reply. I think there is no backup with xrecovery cuz when I reset the phone and start xrecovery (the one where you use sound buttons to navigate) and i click factory reset, it resets the phone to custom rom. I think that flashtool will do it as I understand. I will give me the original software and it will let me to unroot the phone so I can easily upgrade the phone to android 2.3 via pc companion. That's what I understood and I hope it is right .
btw, in that link that 'hasei' posted, there is a list of generic firmwares. Does it mean if I just download and install 'Generic version 2.3.3 build 3.0.1.G.0.75' using xrecovery and is it the same as android 2.3 installed via pc companion. Is there any difference? Is any of them any better from the other? Is it identical to the one made by sony ericsson? Cuz I think that what the word 'generic' stands for. Sorry for the silly questions but I wanna make sure and I will appreciate any answers.
I just installed 2.1 firmware using flashtool, so there is 2.1-update1 installed. However using pc companion I still cannot upgrade my software to 2.3 using pc companion. Don't know what to do.
n0rbas,
"Generic version 2.3.3 build 3.0.1.G.0.75" is the SE's official 2.3 firmware. "Generic" only means that it's not carrier-branded and nothing was added by a carrier. I guess you could say "pure" Sony Ericsson.
If you are not hell-bent on upgrading the firmware through PC Companion, you can flash the 2.3 firmware through the flashtool, just as easy as you did 2.1. I would take this route if I were you.

thank you for the reply.
I tried to do it, but that 2.3 version is not the one provided by sony ericsson, the graphics is different, I just want to be able to install the sony ericsson one and cannot even If I have a 2.1, it says that it is up to date when using pc companion. Shall I unroot the phone or what? I have no idea.

It really depends on what version of X10 (X10i or X10a) you have and where you are. There are so many kinds of 2.1 firmware, branded or otherwise. You just have to have the right combination of a customization number/unrooted 2.1 firmware to upgrade through the official means.
I don't know what you meant by "the graphics is different," but with all due respect, you are incorrect. All the firmwares shown in that flashtool thread are unchanged sony ericsson ones. But if you think it's different, go with the PC Companion thing by all means.
If you have an X10a, it will be a long wait if any.
Ok, i checked it and it is apparently not out yet for my version. What I mean by the graphics. When you unblock the screen with the slider, the 2.3 has got the new one, the nice one and the one I installed it as a firmware has the 2.1 slider. There are many kind of things that are not in generic 2.3. To be honest I want 2.3 for its graphics. I will try to find 2.3 somewhere else and install it. If it won't work I gonna wait. cheers

How can I upgrade to stock ICS from 2.3.7? Sony website told me that I ready have the latest rom, but the system information shows that I'm still in 2.3.7. Is there any reason why I can't upgrade?
Thanks,
J
What phone?
Forget to mention, it's sola.
Make sure you have the latest PC Companion, you can also use Sony Update Service to update your phone. If it still doesn't show you an update then search the ftf file for your phone and flash it via flashtool.
Hi
I own an Xperia Ray running 2.3.4 stock gingerbread. I'm on the O2 UK network so I can't update to ICS because O2 does not allow the update to be pushed to the phone. How do I update to ICS?
