Hi Guys,
Quick question please,
will updating the FW on my VF branded X1 delete all my applications ?
yes! and all contacts and everything else.
back em up before u do anything
I have a question about the FW update:
Once the FW update is installed, when i do a Hard reset, does it reset it to the original factory settings, or does it do it to the new FW that was just installed?
Thanks
every rom has its own Factory settings. so it depends what factory settings this new ROM has. but ill doubt they will be different from the previous FW as long it is from SE

It's only SE update program which connect with phone in bootlader mode and then with SE servers and check if there any new firmware. Tested two days ago and no new roms was available.

I tried to update my swedish X1i, but it said that I already had the latest FW on the phone. My unit is from the first batch that sweden received and it appears to me that there's not a new FW yet.
This is the one I already had:
X1i GENERIC SE CDF1215-3315
I just checked and I live in sweden, it said I already have the latest upgrade
X1i GENERIC SE CDF1215-3315 and my phone is bought the first day in sweden.
No there is no uppgrade here in sweden,just checked..
the updater claims no flash 8 or higher installed. although i have flash 10 installed. any solutions?...
I can't even check, it gets stuck on bootloader and nothing happens, not on the phone nor the computer

X1 firmware
I have a Swedish X1. Just tried to update firmware and got the message that the latest firmware is already installed. The one I have is the one mentioned earlier in this post (SE CDF1215-3315) - which then is what the phone shipped with.
How do I get through the page with 7 steps? I have connected the usb cable in boot loader...

Run IE on your machine, then install Flash. Most likely you have Flash 10 for Firefox.
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.

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.
Hi i bought this phone yesterday and it is carrier locked to SMART Telecom Philippines.. can someone tell me how to debrand/unlock the phone making it usable with other simcards? Thanks
Hi!
I have the same question of the title: I bought a X8 branded by "3". I just wanted to know HOW to debrand it, I don't need to flash any custom rom actually, I just want try the phone with the original generic firmware, but without any "signs" of my operator.
If I just connect the phone to computer and try to reinstall the firmware with PC Companion, it will not debrand it, isn't it? Do I previously need to root the phone and then flash it with the original firmware downloaded somewhere else?
Thank you for answering, I really appreciate your help, I'm very new to the beautiful Android world!
Have a look here
Thank you , but I asked for a different thing, I don't want to unlock the phone removing the operator lock, I just want to DEbrand it, removing any images, apps, other stuffs related to my provider. I want a "clean" X8, like if I bought it without any SIM
change ROM

you can do that by using another ROM. I had an X8 with stock android 2.1 and now it's android 2.2.9, fully functional. No trace of operator , of course.
Thi will not unlock your phone.
DougTheModder,
you can grab original no-brand SE ROM 2.1.1.C.0.0 here
I'm using it on my phone ex-3-ITA-branded (like yours).
I got a small question and I am hoping that someone can help..
Right now I am running the NODO update on my non-branded omnia 7 with the chevron unlock. When the Mango update comes out it is finally possible to choose the Dutch language as live account, that means i have to hard reset my phone (and lose my unlock) to config this account. Is there a way to downgrade to a pre-nodo rom?
I saw on the forum that zune makes a back-up of your previous ROM, but somehow this didn’t happened with me.... The reason why i want my unlock is that i use alot of app's that are not in the market or not made for the samsung (like advanced config, a real flashlight app and the htc app )
Is the solution to flash the I8700XXJK1 firmware??
I appreciate any kind of help
Hello,
So about using dutch on your phone, Im quite sure if you go into your settings > region, you'll be able to change your language but if that doesnt work, the firmware i've linked has dutch preloaded. forgive me if it isnt dutch but im sure it is
http://hotfile.com/dl/108507919/184f77a/I8700DBTJK1.rar.html
its the DBTJK1 firmware
heey kingjovius
Thanks for your reply, I see now it's possible to change the language of your phone... I thought it's only possible when the phone is turn up for the first time
I hope the Mango update comes pretty soon so I can get the Dutch language, if not i will flash that rom you posted
I think he is confusing Dutch with German (as it says DBT in de ROM file).
I just got my new Xperia Play unlocked brand new from hong kong.. set language to English (australia) but I still have chinese writing where I guess 'Games' is meant to be on the main UI.
Anyways of totally scrubbing the software and flashing a stock English ROM?
I've also noticed a whole bunch of Chinese apps installed and chinese keyboards.
Is there any way I can flash a stock english ROM need help.
Also, the phone has been updated to the latest firmware via the SE PC Suite
Flashing it to the generic uk firmware. You should be able to do it easily since phones from hk is sim unlocked. Do you know if your phone is brand new or second hand? Go to the play development section and look for the uk generic firmware.
Sent from my XPlay using XDA App.
yeah its brand new and SIM unlocked.
if I flash it, am I still going to be able to update it via SE Companion suite when updates are available?
Thanks heaps! I downloaded the latest stock UK ROM and flashed with Flashtool and now its up-to-date and all normal english settings and apps!
THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH MATE!!
