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:-

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.
Hi All,
I just wanted to create a poll to know if people flashed generic firmware (or other firmware) to their X10's or did they stick with their branded firmware? Just a simple YES or NO.
Thanks!
Hi I'm having my phone replaced but it's not on its original firmware (att) I need to switch back does anyone have a link to a firmware download for it? And if I need to use an older version of flashtool that as well.
Thank you.
Anyone all i need is ftf and i can use the current flashtool right? Well i have an old 1.6 official att firmware but it's not an ftf its a bunch of other files can i make them an ftf?
Never mind bundled the 1.6 together and flashed and it worked.
Maybe I should upload those as the ones I could find where on sites that have been shutdown as of recently?
Does anyone know if it is possible to downgrade the firmware on a sony Z2? my phone was replaced at the sony centre and i have been given one with a newer firmware to the one supported by root (non bootloader unlock).
If it is possible, how do i do so?

Yes. Just download the appropriate firmware (make sure the model number e.g. D6503 is the same as your phone) and use Flashtool. Search the forums on how to use Flashtool to flash firmwares (plenty of guides).
Thanks for the reply, i was trying to look for the sticky with this information in rather than jumping around looking firstly trying to find a location for the flashtool and second the firmware repo to download from.
I did a search but there is all sorts on here
Hi all,
I wanted to flash a newer android 13 stock firmware because my Sony from a UK operator doesn't get the OTA update.
I have the firmware from XperiFirm and made the ftf with flashtool. Just before I was about to get if flashed I was reading comment saying this tool is not good anymore, but I am not 100% sure how to use the Newflasher instead.
Could someone help me on that?
I don't really want to brick my phone and if it's not a safe way to get android 13 I might just don't do it.
Cheers.
