hello friend, Raj here.
I have been using the X10i since past 6 months. I bought the phone my UAE & i am presently using it in India.
1) Is there any firmware upgrade available for my phone?
My phone info says-
Model - X10i
Firmware - 1.6
Baseband version - 1.0.14
Build number - R1FA014
2) My phone does not have the Android market application inbuilt in it! how & from where do i download that app?
3) How do i install applications downloaded to my computer from Android market, to my phone?
4) I am not able to access Calender since it requires me to log in to my Gmail account. everytime i try to do that, it says "error, try next time"! is there any way i can start the calender without registering?
Thanks.

Hi.
Yes there is, considering a lot of us are running R2BA026, that should give you an idea of how far behind you are.

Personally, I would debrand and update your handset with UK generic FW, which will give you the Market app, which will answer question 3, and as you need to register for the Market to use it, that also answers your 4th question.
1) Install SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service).
You can get it from here: http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/download/1/110/61/1275980198/Update_Service_Setup-2.10.6.21.exe
2) Run SEUS, follow the prompts. You don't need to update the phone through it, but get the phone ready for updating. This process should install the drivers necessary for the rooting process.
Note: I suggest you keep your USB cable attached to that USB port. Remember which USB port of your computer it's attached to, as changing USB ports can lead to a bit of confusion for the next 2 steps!
3) To check if #2 was successful, click on Start, click Run, and type: regedit
In the Registry Editor that pops up, click on Computer, press CTRL+F, and search for this: USB\Vid_0fce&Pid_adde\
After it's finished finding, on the right side you'll see DeviceInstance, then it says REG_SZ, then it says something like USB\Vid_0fce&Pid_adde\5&270d2a78&0&3
You'll need that last bit (in this example: 5&270d2a78&0&3 Yours would probably be different). This is your DeviceID (you'll need it soon!)
Note: You may have multiple of these if you plugged the USB cord into many USB ports on your computer. Each USB port will give a different DeviceID, so if you have more than one DeviceID, you'll have to choose one, and if it doesn't work (you'll find out when you reach #5!) you will have to choose another one.
Alternatively, download the file in the next step and extract it, go to the folder called 1st, and run the DeviceID.jar file. It should give your DeviceID
4) Download this:
http://filevo.com/1nlq8wryo11u.html
or from here: http://rapidshare.com/files/404363083/i_R1FA16_ft.rar.html
Extract it.
In the step1 folder, you'll see a file called DeviceID.txt
Open it up, delete whatever's there, and put YOUR DeviceID (that you found from the previous step).
Save the file and close notepad.
Note: Make sure there are no extra spaces or lines after/before the DeviceID. The ONLY thing that should be in the file is your DeviceID, NO SPACES/LINES (for example, only this: 5&270d2a78&0&3 [yours will probably be different])
5) Take out the USB cable from your phone (leave it plugged into your computer)
Turn your phone OFF
Open up step1.cmd (it's not inside the step1 folder, but outside it), but DON'T PRESS ANYTHING
Now we have to put the phone into flash mode. This is how you do it:
Hold the Back button on your phone, and while holding the back button, insert the USB cable into the phone.
A green light should come on the phone (like when it's charging or a missed call)
Quickly "Press any key to continue..." in the open step1.cmd window.
Let it finish what it's doing. It will say "Press any key to continue..." after it's finished. Until then, DON'T touch anything!
If you get problems in this step, refer to this post:

Here's a helpful video for common java issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=713457
After completion, this will give you a Generic X10i R1FA016 firmware (check it by pressing the left button, go to settings>about phone and at the very bottom under build number)

Follow those steps and when you've completed them run SEUS which should update you to R2BA026, and give you the Market app. If you run in to any issues read the links provided as the chances are it will be user error if you do.
Thanks a lot buddy.
Will de-branding my phone affect future upgrades to Android 2.1 in any way?
Also, why is de-branding necessary to access calender???

It isn't, but if want to use the Market you are going to need a gmail account.
I tried using SEUS but failed at step 2 itself!
It says press back button while inserting USB cable in phone & keep pressing back button. i did the same & waited & waited for 5 minutes, but no response!
then my finger started hurting & i had to abort the process! does it take so long?

You're not doing it right, should take about 5 seconds for seus to recognise the phone. Try again.
Sorry for the back-to-back posts, but can i update my phone country to India instead of UK? i think Indian X10s do get Android Market. Since i am using the phone here in India & in future would like to get this serviced in india itself, i would prefer my phone to show India in country!
It honestly doesn't matter. I'm in Canada but I'm using a Latin American firmware. But yes, to get it serviced I guess you need it. How about asking someone with the Indian firmware to dump it for you?
That is precisely the reason i am looking for the indian version instead of UK.
None of my friends have a X10 & strangely, even google dint yield any satisfactory results.
I will opt for the UK update only if Indian update is not available.
Also, i am still not able to open the calender using my gmail account. evertime it says "error! try again later" !!!

so did you manage to update to a newer firmware yet? you said a while back that "holding the back button" did not work. You need to have the phone off before you do this step.
1. turn phone off
2. connect usb cable to phone, but not to pc.
3. open SEUS and get to the stage that it says waiting for phone connect.
4. press and hold the back button (which will power your phone on in flash mode) and connect the USB cable to pc.
SEUS should now say "stop pressing back button" or something to that effect.

Nothing like this happens in my case. Dont know whats wrong!
Guys, i managed to install Astro File Manager over the air! i did install a few apps to my comp & then to my phone using AFM but not all apps are available to install on the comp! thats the reason i needed Android Market on my phone.
Also, i dont understand why i cant register to google through my phone as i have to use the phone calender.
Guys, it re-installed SEUS & it detected my phone but i again failed! i am dumb!!!

then i searched for "USB\Vid_0fce&Pid_adde" & i found a file which says-

Thats it! no device ID in front of it!

Can you clarify, did you get into flash mode for it to install the drivers?
I re-installed SEUS. then I started SEUS, switched off my phone for 30 secs, connected USB cable to computer, then connected USB cable to phone while pressing the back button & kept pressing the back button until the phone got switched ON.
then SEUS asked me to open Notification bar & turn ON USB. i left the back button & did the same. then the screen showed "X10i connected" & your phone is up to date!
then i tried whatever you had mentioned but it was of no use as mentioned in my post above.
Also, SEUS detects my phone only 1 out of 5 times. the remaining times, it takes soooooo long that i have to abort the process & SEUS hangs!
Also, i have noticed that in my SEUS, in the phone models where you have to select your phone, there are two options, both which look like an X10 with names "X10" & "SO-01B". which one should i select? i tried with X10 but failed. then i tried with SO-01B & it dint detect.
You problem is that seus is not detecting your device..
Soln... User a laptop with win xp or vista or 7 32 bit...
Do a complete uninstall of seus. Clean the registry of any seus entries..
Reinstall seus..
Use a different usb port.
Now try..
The device is an x10 unless you your it from japan which if the case is then it is the so-o1.
If you want dump of indian firmware I can help you but I dont think a dump will be of much use to
You..

yes, i would like to have the Indian firmware as that would make servicing my phones in India easier!
Can you tell me the disadvantages of having the Indian firmware when compared to the UK one?
I read that even Indian firmware has Android market & even India is getting a upgrade to Android 2.1 along with UK.
I tried using SEUS with different USB port & my phone was detected but again i found no DEVICE ID! the same thing happened which i have written in Post #14.
Is there any other method to find DEVICE ID? i even tried this-
Alternatively, download the file in the next step and extract it, go to the folder called 1st, and run the DeviceID.jar file. It should give your DeviceID

SEUS doesn't ask you to do that, PC Companion does though. I've never known anyone have such problems getting SEUS to run.
I tried to install the latest firmware (2.2 to 2.3.3) of my mother's O1(P500) using the LG PC Suite. It downloaded perfectly but after 6% into the installation the software on Windows crashed which caused the program to frezze and force close. Thankfully the phone was not damaged except that it will not connect to the carrier on tmobile or orange and shows the " no service" information in the notification bar and comes up with an error when trying to select the carrier manually.
If anyone could shed some light on how to fix this problem that would be fantastic - would master reboot or retry the firmware update again do it?
Greatly appreciated, cheers everyone.

Notes from LG
※ NOTICE
1. Before install USB Driver, you should disconnect phone to PC
2. Please back up all the files (through PC Suite etc) before upgrading the phone. We don't take responsibilities for lost of any files due to user's carelessness.
3. Please connect your USB cable directly to the PC (Do not use a USB Hub).
4. When the phone software upgrade stopped before completion, please don't close the update tool and try to update again. If you closed the update tool already, use recovery phone.
PS: I wouldn't recommend using windows 8, and try to get the phone drivers reinstalled.
First download your firmware file in kdz format than flash it using kdz updater or lgmdp.you lost your service probably because when you update your firmware your baseband is changed and your firmware not changed because of program is crashed and new baseband not work with old froyo rom.so flash using kdz updater or lgmdp.search the forum there are many topic decribe how to update firmware using kdz or lgmdp.
Press thank button if i help you.
As the title suggests, I'm stuck on firmware version 1600.2483.8107.11501. I bought the device from Amazon UK a couple of days ago because they were selling them at £200 It is a UK country variant, product code 059L7C2.
Zune says no updates available, but there have been at least 3 firmware updates since the one I am stuck on. I've tried the disconnect trick, still no updates available. I've tried both Zune and WP Connector for Mac, still nothing.
I've contacted Nokia support, but I was wondering if anyone had a similar issue and any suggestions how to resolve it?

I had the same problem mate....just follow one of the other threads of how to use the "CAB sender installer" and install the new CABS(updates) yourself.
Its really easy to do, good luck.
So I downloaded Nokia Care Suite and flashed the latest 059L7C2 ROM. Strangely enough, before I flashed that, NCS couldn't read the product ID from my device, so I guess that is why I could have been having issues getting updates.
Now on 1600.2487.8107.12070. I guess it's just a matter of waiting for the update now.

Ok good job.
That is one way, but by using the NCS you lose all of your data etc...if you use the WP7 Update CAB sender you keep all your data.
Also on the forums someone has posted the latest updates as CAB files so you don't really need to wait for the update through Zune you can do it yourself now.
Yeah, new phone though, so no data on it, so I figured reflashing it isn't a biggie.
I'm doing the first of those cabs now, but I'd rather update via Zune tbh.

Yeah I totally understand.
The weird thing was when I went down this route, after each installed CAB I tried to see if Zune offered the next update...and after the second CAB the third OEM update was instantly offered to me, so I took the Zune upgrade route for the last part.
Do your phones have the DLOAD bootloader or Qualcomm?
My phone is stuck on an old version but has the QC bootloader. I've been trying forever to get NCS to update my phone but I don't believe I can use NCS cause it's the QC. I just wanna confirm my suspicion.

I have the unlocked bootloader Qualcomm, but this will only help you if you want to flash a custom ROM? I'm a Noob so I could be talking crap
No idea, bootloader version is 7.41.0.0 if that helps. The problem was beforehand that it didn't seem to want to give NCS any details about the device, after using recovery mode to flash the 1600.2487.8107.12070 ROM, the device is recognised correctly in NCS.
Anyway, I'm now on 1750.0805.8773.12220.
After resetting to 1600.2487.8107.12070 via NCS, I installed the 8112 and 8773 cabs from here, and after those 2 updates had installed Zune offered me the Nokia update which updated the firmware to 1750.0805.8773.12220.
So, I'm all sorted and hopefully this will help anyone stuck on a firmware version.

Good news, just as I said then
If you ever wanted to know how to tell if your bootloader is unlocked or not, just power off the phone, power on holding volume up as well until the haptic feedback...then plug in the USB cable to your PC and the disk should come up as a USB Mass Storage Device, if it doesn't then its a locked bootloader.

OK, I got an old (used, second handed) RM-801, it's running WP7.8 (8858).
I wanted to flash it back to Tango (8773).
So I downloaded the firmware with data package manager, Started the product support tool, and followed these steps: open product->RM-801->programming->recovery->hold vol+ button and plug USB cable then click retry
But then NCS wont flash the device (it shows the retry dialog again) and my PC pops up a dialog says I have to format the disk before I can use it; and there is such a "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" mass storage device in my computer.
I'm using NCS 5.2.
What should I do now?
Thanks.

Thank you for the tutorial!
However seems the NssPro doesn't support flashing the stock firmware? It can only open *.nb files, and I can't find a custom Tango rom (or any WP7.5 based rom).

DONE!
I followed the (part of the) instruction of #4 in this thread and my Lumia 800 is now running good old WP7.5!
