Hi !
Using this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2233350 I can change the customization number, and I can get a firmware from another region but only serves to the newest version
How could I use it to force the repair with pccompanion and get older firmwares (like gingerbread)
Thanks!!
Not possible via pc companion
Send from my xperia p
Hi! Have you tried flashing an older firmware with flashtools?
Yes, but look for the version of my region, that any other region marks my operator (virtual mobile operator) as an operator in roaming, and the version of my region (Spain) brand as a normal operator (without the R roaming ).For Xperia P I have not a FTF from Spain (IBERIA)

I am currently using NTT Docmo Xperia x10 on android 1.6. Its model is SO-01b and i want to upgarde to android 2.1 and unlock the phone as well. But i am not clear which version to use , nordic or global. I am not sure but on according to wikipedia nTT docomo so-01b is based on x10a.
Please someone help me if anyone could give me suggestion.
My Docomo X10 is flashed to global generic 2.1 and running just fine.
Just don't forget to write down your APNs so you can put them back.
You want the "bizho" one, since that's the network where your internet fees are capped.
Thanks for the response gtkashi.I am now in Nepal and want to make the phone work here in Nepal by upgrading to android 2.1. Could u please clarify me whether flashing would make the phone sim free.
it won't. You're just updating the software, not unlocking the phone.
Get in contact with nttdocomo to see what their policies/costs for unlocking your phone are or try to see whether there's some shady services for unlock codes by now.
Global to Docomo firmware 2.1
With this upcoming update for Docomo, if you currently have global 2.1, how would we "instruct" SEUS to flash the Docomo firmware? Would we need to edit some *.prop ?
Personally I'm hoping someone would extract the firmware itself so that the flasher tool can be used to overwrite the existing one.
Either way, 30 min til Nov 10!

Good am sir,i know this is a common question but i just know if i flash my x10 to file that you.then it openline now.its posible that after flashing i need to openline it again?
so sad the google playstore no more works in this model now as google has stopped its support.. what should be the option now? anybody can help. it doesnt have any file manager installed too
A lot of people including myself have the problem with 2.1 where we cant send text messages longer than a single text.
But it says here that vodafone have worked with SE to fix the issue and have released an updated 2.1 firmware.
Is this firmware available yet for flashing? if it is where can i download it?
It tells you in the link you posted. Update/Repair using PC Companion.
But i have a rooted and unbranded phone with the nordic firmware. If i was to try and update i'd imagine PCC would not detect a vodafone firmware and not update to it... or that would not matter if SE have fixed all firmwares and not just done a vodafone fix, does anyone know? would PCC even work correctly with a flashed phone?

Sorry, from your OP it sounded like you were on vodaphone firmware already. The easiest way to flash it back to vodaphone is by the CDA change method as you are rooted.
see here:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824711
you will need to change the codes to 1234-4579
Although as you were having problems with it on nordic firmware it would say to me that its not a firmware issue, more likely a network one but i'm no expert.
also, probably worth you keeping an eye on this thread, and PM Jeff-SEAnswers ...

Thanks mate
I dont think it's a network issue because other people have the same problem on all kinds of networks and in different countries.
I have a vodafone SIM but i've always had a unlocked/unbranded phone... what would happen if i tried to use PCC to put the new firmware on my phone without flashing back to my phones original firmware? and are all UK firmwares the same or would this one with the fix be specifically for vodafone?

Using the above method I linked to would install the newest Vodafone firmware (ie. The 'fixed' one in your link). It doesn't matter what firmware you are currently on. No, all UK firmwares are different, some will come with provider settings preinstalled, specific apps or features enabled/disabled depending on network. If you don't want to go back to branded try flashing to generic UK 2.1 using flash tool, thats what i'm on and I never had any text problems.
Think i'll just try flashing to the firmware you use and see if that fixes it... could you link me to the UK firmware you used? Cheers again!

X10i Generic UK - http://www.multiupload.com/TVLQVFW4OA
just put the files in the 'firmware' folder of flashtool then run it.
My phone is a Nordic Generic phone. But I did install the Norwegian Generic rom to it, but becuase this is a Telenor branded one I want to go back to the Nordic one.
Tried changing the build.prop file to trick SEUS to download the Nordic firmware but it just throws me a error about my firmware being customized before it starts downloading the firmware.
Does anyone know how to trick SEUS or maybe know of any Nordic firmware (1257-6087) to download? Old or new doesn't madder..
Flashtool the Europe Generic one.

I know I could do that. But I want to have the Nordic one just in case I need to send in my phone for service.
A couple of years ago when I used the SE X10 Mini I just changed the build.prop file to change firmware/branding.
Is this possible somehow with Xperia S?
After some testing it seams like the Nordic Generic (1257-6087) firmware does not exist..
I now have the Norway Generic (1257-8821) on my phone. When I tried changing build.prop and cust.prop to match 1257-6087 PCC would always turn off and check my phone before downloading any firmware. But when I change them to match the Swedish Generic (1257-6919) it downloads the firmware to blob_fs before checking the phone, it does complain and does not update the phone but since the files have been downloaded I can update it with flashtool.
My SI number is 1257-6087 but it does not seam to be any firmware with that customization number.. strange..
Hi,
What's the identification used by Sony's PC Companion to know if there's an update for your region ?
Is it the region specified in build.prop ?
Which update do you receive ? The one specified for your region ?
I was on Moonwalker ROM, with US as specified region in build.prop. No update for it.
Then flashed eXistenZ where I changed region to FR (France). Then update center in ROM had an update for me, lollipop .690 firmware. This is confirmed by PC Companion, and I downloaded the firmware (without install).
Then back to MW (US region), no more firmware update.
So, is the downloaded firmware the french one ?
Region is identified by the Customization Version. n Yes, the one in the build.prop .
n yes u hav FR ftf LP.
Nice idea tho bro. for geting LP erlier. din thot of that.. now i kw 2..

Thanks for the reply, great news !
Anyonne knows where I can find oficiall firmwares for E2333. I can find some for Latin America or Nordic but none for Portugal ou West Europe. The phone had a the latest firmware until days ago. I was trying to root and flash recovery and in the process I flashed other versions of firmware. Now I have latest version but certanly from other region and the mic don't work. I want to flash a firmware from my region to try to resolve the mic issue but I don't see anywhere a list of firmwares like I does for my previous Samsung.
