i upgraded my x10 with seus to 2.1 changing the CDA, but now i would like to reflash with the same firmware. how can i do it?
i have the files that seus downloaded but don't know how to flash them into the phone.
edit.:
i found my answer reading another post. the steps to decrypt the firmware from seus are here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9283069&postcount=76 [thanks to delbuenno]. after that, we can use flashtool to flash them to the phone.

Re-run SEUS and select repair
there is no such option anymore. it just says i currently have the most up to date software.

Yea, I had that problem sometime back. At that time PC Companion repair worked. I Un-installed both went back to SE site and downloaded SEUS again. This version now gives repair option.
i´ll try that and post back here.
edit:
i uninstalled both and downloaded from SE but i still can't get that repair button to appear. i´ll just stick to the flashtool and the backup from SEUS i have.
thanks for the help man.
Hello all
I have been playing around with custom roms and using generic basebands, but lately I need to get back to SE's carrier-specific 2.1 because I believe I have some local carrier settings that I need in order to properly send long sms and mmses. I've used SEUS successfully in the past to repair/reflash.
However after starting up SEUS for the first time in some time, it scans and checks my phone in flash mode and then tells me I have the latest software, but there is no repair button, only an 'exit' that when clicked closes SEUS. I recall vaguely that there used to be an option to repair or reflash? Can anyone help me by giving me some instructions as to how I can reflash using SEUS? Is there some button that I missed? Or is there no such option in the latest version of SEUS?
thanks very mch in advance!
PS I'm not using PC companion as every time I try to repair, after going into flash mode and it says it is 'downloading' the update, it always tells me that 'there is no software available for your phone right now' midway into the process.
Have u used flashtool before? U can use it to get back to 2.1. Its in the development section of the x10 forum. Its on page 1 or 2. Sorry i would post it but i am away from the computer. There is a howto guide by rendeiro2005 inside the flashtool link. Good luck. Will help u wen i get up in the morning lol

...Or, maybe you will find your operators' firmware here and follow the steps in the thread to flash it.
NB! Note that it is 1.6 firm, but after flash u can update to 2.1 in the normal way trough SEUS or PCC.
Yeah I used flashtool in place of seus for flashing eventually, but I need a carrier-specific fw.
Thanks G-face for the link but there isn't a Singapore one. Is there no way to reflash using SEUS now?

what rom are you running on? i had exactly the same problem a couple of days ago with beta4 installed.
you need to get back to any 2.1 stock rom, then the SE update sw will let you repair your phone.
i had an old xrecovery-backup from the latest update to bb .54, i flashed that via xrec and then it was no problem to repair with pc companion...
I think you can search for the last files SEUS downloaded for you and then flash them back with flashtool, e.g. in my case SEUS downloaded 2 big files to C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\13740270\blob_fs
One of them is ~150Mb and the other ~15Mb.
Then all you have to do is decrypt them with flashtool and create a bundle to be ready to go. I hope that works for you.

I think I encountered this issue when I tried to play around with the SI number. I managed to get back to my original firmware when I changed my SI number to World Generic, then repair the firmware via SEUS then root and then change back the SI number to Singapore one.
Try this and let me know if it works for you.

+1) use the app root explorer, set to R/W, and long press on build.prop file, and open in text editor. Then edit the CDA number from generic back to Singapore. It is repeated twice maybe three times. For example, the x10a global generic is 1234 - 4820, and to change back to X10a Brazil is 1234 - 4836. Save and close changes. Reboot phone.
Find the folder where you saved the Update Service on your pc. Go into the folder and delete the contents of "db" folder. This will wipe any data so Update Service will have to reread your device and download the appropriate firmware for repair software.
Turn off phone. Run SEUS. It Will say that you already have the latest software. REPAIR ANYWAY. DONE!
Below is the link to the thread with all the CDA numbers and detailed instructions.

Um, That's because your not running Sony Ericsson firmware anymore.
To get back to stock 2.1 either "repair software" via SEUS or PC Companion, or restore your xRecovery backup if you made one.
There doesn't seem to be a 'repair software' option for me in SEUS, after checking phone in flash mode the only thing I get is 'exit' :/
Ok, then use flash tool 0.2.9 and flash global generic firmwar. Both found here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
Then you can root with the flash tool, and then modify build.prop.

any one have some solution for this problem?
i really needs some..

You could try the repair option in PC Companion. It's by far the easiest solution.
Just about all the downloads for firmware for flashtool has been removed for some reason or other

See your other post Flash stock and relock your bootloader and hope your radio-capabilities come back
Hello guys.
I'd like to know if i can put my phone back to stock sony's firmware, that can be updated with PC Companion, because i think i will be giving it back to store for a warranty refund...So, can i do it? Any stock firmware that can be updated with PC Companion would be good(GB,ICS)...
Thanks for your time...
Just search for the ics ftf file for ur phone and flash it via flashtool
Then u can reuse sus or pcc
( make sure ur bootloader status is locked)
Oh ok thanks.

Its latest flashtool no need to update
When u select any ftf on flashtool
U can exclude several parts like kernel, data, system... Can u try it on a different pc and report back
Also flashing wont start unless u connect the swtiched off phone to pc with vol down button pressed
