Do Not Update Your Xperia X1 Using The Sony Update Service...

Do not use sony update service just yet
Although Sony DO NOT yet have a firmware update for the Xperia, the update service still gives you the option to restore the phone by reinstalling the currant firmware version.
But DO NOT USE THE UPDATE SERVICE JUST YET, consult sony technical service first, if you are experiencing problems and are looking to restore via update service. (vista 32 bit, i also know one case on windows xp from a xperia user)
I carried an update to restore the original firmware and the phone got blocked(bricked) update stops at 11%
i had to send it back and purchase a new xperia.
Excellent phone, hope all Xperia users are enjoying the experiences with X1

WHAT??!?!?!?!? They didn't exchange it or something?

i dont understand, this is windows mobile, why would we need to upgrade firmware? If anything, we just need to hard reset the phone and its back to factory. I mean there are custom roms but we cant flash it until we have a hard spl

Updates
you wanna be able to update the phone to fix bugs in the FW, like the Bluetooth disabling itself issue, or the panels being slow etc.
As to y u would wanna re install the existing FW, some people might have messed around and bricked their phone, a quick solution would be to reinstall the FW.

I can help you with flashing to generic firmware on X1.
Just send me a PM.
I have uploaded the list of firmwares available.
Check out the attachment.

Can you please help me, and tell me where I can download the Generic AT Rom for X1, I need to send it back, but was not able to get this ROM? even the Update service of SE, there is no option to restore, it say only, that there is no new software for it.
Please help, and is there any special SPL I need to use?
thanks in advance.

I'm glad I came across this thread. I was about check for updates but I sure wouldn't have reinstalled the same firmware version. Anyway, I guess I should just wait for the next update and update the phone after I find out how it makes the phone better.

... to late, ive already updated it with the latest dutch vodafone rom version. luckly it didnt brick.

Orange UK branding

i got my x10i on contract with orange a few weeks ago im not sure what version i was on upon recievership but i did update it to 020
now im struggling to find any orange branding on the device and this leads me to a question
normally handsets are carrier locked and updates come to us via carrier
but since i can use seus and the pc companion im assuming the device isnt locked
but i cant seem to get the 026 update ive tried the pc companion and seus and im getting nothing nor by ota
i also had a glance at the updates by country and i saw orange isnt listed as a carrier
just 3 vodafone generic and another one
anyone goit any clues??
its not so much the update im after ity more the clarification as to when i get them
ie do i get it when sony ericcson say so or do i have to wait

I've read some branded handsets are and some aren't, so it could just be the luck of the draw, but I assumed SEUS would just flash newer carrier firmware anyway so doesn't necessarily mean it isn't locked.

well ive waited and waited and still havent got the newest update has anyone else got the x10 on stock orange non rooted software and have been issued the newest update ive tried all the normal ways

Try running the "repair" method using SEUS if you haven't already, as I've seen some report that that has updated the handset to a newer firmware despite SEUS saying it's up to date.

This is true but be warned if you do an update using the repair service in PC companion you may loose apps, I did.
Also found some of them missing from the market so I reflashed to generic 016 and tried again using SEUS I download from the Sony Ericsson support website and this time I didn't loose any apps.
Where did you get your X10i? If it was Carphone Warehouse then it won't be sim locked or branded, otherwise I would imagine it's branded. I'm not sure if Orange have released the recent firmware update as my X10 was with Vodafone but is now unbranded, if you don't want to wait for Orange de-brand your phone.
Posted from my X10i using XDA App & Swype

well igot it from orange over the phone upgrade but i cant se any branding at all on the phone
rather not de brand
i can wait im just womdering if all orange users

The Orange var are orange locked, no intrusive branding but it has a Custom version number. If you use the Debrand method then you will no longer have the issue as it makes it a Generic UK spec but with an Orange sim lock.
(PS i work for a large UK Telecom retail company and so you can trust this info 110%)

well i understand but that would also
a, invalidate my warrantly
b, not let me update via seus
like i say i dont mind the wait but i see nearly every one get it but im wondering if orange is behind or its my phone
also i still didnt get 023

First yes de-branding would invalidate your warranty but you would still be able to update using SEUS, you'd only be exchanging the minimally branded Orange firmware for generic UK firmware.
As for Orange being slow, I wouldn't worry about it as far as I'm aware O2 users don't even have the R2BA020 update!

[Q] New Software Update Is Available....

Hi all,
Got a message appear on my phone in the info bar today, says a new software update is available.
I've tried to follow it through but it says I must connect to the Sony Ericsson suite on my PC to get the update.
Anyone know what it is?
Ive got X10i FW1.6, Baseband 1.1.25, Kernel 2.6.29-rel with build R2BA020
Bought from Virgin Mobile (who supply them direct from SE factory completely unlocked with no carrier specifics on)
I may try to update when I get home from work tonight but the last time I updated the software from the PC suite it took about an hour and wiped the phone back to basic settings, I only want to do this if its Android 2.1!

I think it's R2BA026, Was news that they were realsed in the U.K and France to debranded phones

Its a good update, do it, forget for now the 2.1, it will stay 1.6, 2.1 will be lauched in 2/3 weeks.

and don't worry about wiping the phone - you won't need to with this update.

you will update to R2BA026

I feel your pain.. Still nothing on Orange UK either.
I emailed Orange to ask if they could tell me when it would be released, got this reply:-
"Thank you for your email regarding your Samsung handset.
I am sorry to learn that you are unaware of our process regarding firmware updates for Orange phones. Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience this has caused.
I would like to advise that Orange customers are not able to obtain firmware updates direct from Samsung themselves, this is due to the Orange branding that you have on your phone that allows you to use this on our network.
Please find below a link to our website where you are able to check in the future if an update via Orange has been released.
http://www2.orange.co.uk/servlet/Sa...96364420640&product=Feature&t=Product&tabid=1
Be aware that your handset may not be available on the listings until if or when an update is released.
When a new update is made available by a handset manufacturer they will pass a version of this to Orange so that we can run the required tests to confirm that this update they have released will co-exist with the Orange branding that you are required to use on your phone.
It is possible that the new update that is released may not co-exist with the Orange branding and thus we will not be able to release the update for the Samsung Galaxy, if they can not co-exist and we were to release this to your phone, this could effectively be detrimental to your handset and Orange will not process for this reason.
If the update version can not co-exist with the Orange branding then we will wait for Samsung to release a new update to which we will restart the testing process accordingly.
Be aware that it is not possible to advise of any estimated timescale for the testing of this update by Orange, furthermore, we can not guarantee that an update will be released at all regarding the Samsung Galaxy as the updates that could be released may never work alongside the Orange branding on the phone.
Because some of this information is speculative and based on situations regarding the testing of updates that may or may not ever be released by Samsung and the time it takes to complete the testing of the new updates, please accept my sincere apologies that we can not be more specific regarding your query.
As with the current Android update it has been released via an Over-The-Air format, this may be the situation for the the next available update, but this method we will not be able to confirm until the update is valid for Orange UK handset users when it has been released.
Please be advised that the answers to many common queries can be found in the Frequently Asked Questions section in the Help and Support option on the Home page of our website.
www.orange.co.uk
I trust this information clarifies your query"

Could u tell us: pda,phone and CSC versions please ?
I would be grateful, cuz I'm waiting for O2 FW just for the APN settings and for future updates.

If I update to XEU Froyo version now can I update to O2 Froyo version when they decide to release it?
Just thinking about warranty etc...

You can always change back to what you need via Odin if you're comfortable with that. If not, wait for official Kies update or you'll have lots of work to do.

I just reformatted my computer so i cant plug my phone into kies at the moment caus i havent reinstalled it yet. I can tell you what my phone says though
Model : GT-I9000
Firmware 2.2
Baseband Version : I9000XXJP
Kernel Version : 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build number : Froyo.XXJPO
Regards Jim

JPO from samfirmware sets product code to xxkor :/
While they claim that it is europian firmware, so ... and does not have cz/sk swype. I have backup of some important files so ot is not prob, but better is to be pattient and wait for official froyo. This is my advice for ordinary peoples.

I am happy to use Odin and don't mind the effort but are there actual O2 ROMs around that I can flash back onto the device later if needed?
Also will flashing an XEU ROM change my product code?

Turn phone off, Hold the Vol Down button and turn on the phone. This will put it into bootloader mode with multicolour screen.
Plug the phone into windows and the serial should change to usb on the phone, then run the rom.
Good luck

Has anybody noticed any changes or can feature a changelog?

Anyone flashed this rom succesfully on german o2 HD7?
EDIT1: flashed this rom on my hd7 and it works fine until now.

Is there a way to flash this with a mac???

Download a free trial of windows and use bootcamp or a free trial of VMware.

FYI
Phone info after Update:
OS 7.0.7004.0
Firmware: 2250.09.16101.207
Radio: 5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10U
Bootloader: 1.61.2250.0(114451)
Updated fine, no issues so far but only updated 20 minutes ago

Wasn´t it meant to be pubished via Zune or online-update???
I thought windows phones should update itself with new updates.
I´m not sure if I shouldn´t better wait for an update via the official way.
It´s not that I flashed my HD2 hundred times without problems but I´m thinking if it wouldn´t be easier to update the "normal" way. Does anyone know whether the normal update style would backup settings and mails so that you don´t have to recreate everything on your own???

Thx for the quick answer. So is the firmware and the radio never updated by the push updates from MS???
What yould then be the normal way for the firmware-updates?
Htc Website??? there is no HD7 at the moment!
Please explain if you got further informations.

Updated to german O2 version. No problem so far. Seems to be a bit snappier. Graphics seem a little faster, also the phone boot. Reception shows up stronger. I found it interestant to see that the the intelligent phone app from HTC doesn´t reset anymore after reboot Thx for making me update the firmware !!!

they CAN update the radio/spl by air but I think that will come from your operator .
so HTC makes an update and sent it to your operator , the operator is signing the update (vendor ID) and then or sent it to MS (I think for releasing it over Zune) or release it on the operator website/by air

But the german O2 branding is just a color-design and an extra navigation software which is not usable yet.
