Help - Debranding - XPERIA X10 General

Sorta new to this forum .. Anyways I tried debranding my Sony X10 using the method over at xperiax10(dot)net .. Followed everything in order to get .16 update , didn't show up .. So i tried their rebranding method , so the X10i downloaded the Japanese files .. and put my phone from an X10i to an SO-01B .. it says you can just rebrand your software using the backupfiles from the debranding method .. So I go to SEUS AND Pc Companion and try the repair option .. on SEUS there is NO repair option .. and with PCC , I only get as far as update .. because it keeps telling me " Cannot download your files , please check your connection and try again " I tried and tried again for like almost half an hour , no luck .. I'm trying my best to figure this out .. But can't seem to I don't want to be stuck with japanese stuff on my phone .. it doesn't have landscape text either Any help would be appreciated !

i think i might be getting somewhere , but still the same problem .. im trying through pc companion and i look at my task manager ( win 7 ) .. when it says "updating do not disconnect" the SEMSC OMSI MODULE.EXE quits by itself .. so what i tried was to run it through program files .. it got me somewhere for like 5 mins , then failed .. so idk if i have the right idea ..
Ideas anyone ? I'm thinking of getting rid of this phone because of the japanese software that has been loaded ..

Why u used the japanese files??????? try this http://www.xperiax10.net/2010/04/28/rebranding-your-xperia-x10-tutorial/

warranty is fine if you get it back to x10i I doubt they will replace a SO-01B for a x10i

Why u used the japanese files??????? try this xperiax10(dot)net/2010/04/28/...-x10-tutorial

That's the exact tutorial i followed .. if you read it , it says " it'll download the japanese files from the server , once repaired just debrand using the method " .. I tried it , but don't work .. I think i'm going to try da vinci .. Really hope it works .. Thanks for the help guys .

Docomo SO-01B
Went to Docomo with my rooted xperia SO-01B - the y could not figure out how to upgrade... I had forgotten to unroot .... they were so flustered and could not figure out the problem...so they just gave me a new one. Have rooted the new one (2.1) and about to debrand .. Any howto`s for debranding upgraded DOCOMO experia SO-01B?

1st of all what model is it (X10i, X10a, SO-1B)?
If it's not a SO-1B device and you flashed it with SO-1B firmware, then obviously SEUS and PCC won't recognize your device.
In general only flash accordingly matching firmware on your device.
If you know what you're doing then you can experiment with what ever firmware you wan't. But sounds like you don't really know what you were doing when flashing your device.

get flash tool from post #3, and flash a ROM from post #1 i guess. Try that
use SEUS. it will tell you ''your phone already has the latest software'' and then it will give you an option too ''repair'' that will re flash the rom from the SE servers
tried bothwith no luck

well your in luck , is not briked if it starts up , what you need to do is run a task 29 , then reflash your phone with a energy rom , that is what i use and is very good , good luck , let me know how it goes .
My phone stays on the htc screen and doesn't do anything else. I performed a Task 29 last night. And it did this to my htc hd 2 phone now it doesn't want to turn on I mean it does but it stays on the Stck Together screen. Should I call T-Mobile and get a new phone ? What should I do ?

well if your phone is in guaranty yes you can tell them that one day it just got stuck , don't mention anything about you trying to flash a rom ore that you played with it!!!! cuz they will not exchange anything.
BUT you can try this : get a Energy ROM from t-mobile hd2 rom development and flash it . if you dont know the proper steps please read posts with instructions how to properly flash it ,
after this if you did everything rite your phone should be ok .
i repeat if you phone dose turn on even if is an error ore it gets stuck , is still working and is not briked . so you can still fix it you self . if it dose not turn on no led no nothing then is briked , contact me if you have other questions
hope this helps u .

but don't use nothing just install it , be careful , for t-mobile hd2 you need t-mobile rom from www.t-mobile.com!!!

1. Try re-starting the computer.
2. Charge your HD2 fully
3. Format an microSD card and try installing the image from SD Card

[q] help please!!!!

hi everybody I have tried to root my xperia x8 because i wanted to update the android version to 2.1 , i downloaded the superoneclick 1.5.1 and i did all the steps i've read here but at the end it says "FAILED the device was not rooted" and in my phone it appears the superuser aplication but i can't access to the root explorer because this message appears:"Root explorer has not yet managed to obtain root access.Because of issues with Superuser, this often happens the first time the app is run but is usually fine from then on."
I have no idea of what is happening , i did all the steps:i put my phone in debug mode , then connect the phone and click "root" and it is still not rooted :S
If someone can help i would be very happy , i'm about to become crazy :S
HI
If you have android v1.5 Donut and you want to upgrade too android 2.1 just install PC Companion (Sony Ericson software that you get with the phone in the box) and let the aplication search for any update of firmware for X8.
actually i have 1.6 version i've tried to update it with pc companion but it says that it has the latest version....
Where do You live?
You have tried to update your phone via PC companion?
PC companion>Support zone>start> ... And it says that u have latest software?
Check phone status do You really have 1.6?
I live in Peru
yes i've tried that and i still have the firmware version in 1.6
help me please
You don't need to root your android to do the upgrade.. xD just upgrade with sony ericsson update service, and after that you can root your phone normally using 2.1 firmware..
Although, you need to substituite a file in superoneclick: "thecage.." to "neuter" but rename to the original.. (sorry if i can't explain well, but i'm portuguese and i'm 16.. xD) search on the forum or wait so i can post the zip file already working, because i don't have it on my phone..
Sent from my Sony Ericsson X8 using XDA App
He's in peru and it might not be updated there. There's no such thing as world availablity for sony-ericsson - it's different all over.
My best guess for you would be to use the flash from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=962014
There's at least 3 links to it, not sure if the torrent is still working.
It's set as russian CDA number, but you can change that - look on x8 forums for way to change CDA (don't have time to help with that just now )
also LuisDias, as he's from peru he might be able to understand some of your portoguese
Peru? I didn't read that part.. XD anyway, i can speak spanish if he didn't understand portuguese.. xP

Yeah, we are in lucky situation in Europe, but south-american telcos didn't deal 2.1 version. Even nor some providers in USA

You can flash with E15i firmware and then flash X8a baseband that you can find in thread in my signature bellow
...maybe there is a way to update with pc companion like he is in Europe...
And I read about updating from other country on development section.
Easy way it's changing the SI number so it solves it like a workaround, still i'm not sure if it provides his language (i think it does) after that he can even install froyo or ginger eh
There are lot's of tutorials with infos to do it right in dev section, check them out.
well... actually i have the flash tool and i found this firmware "X8 Shakira E15i_2.1.1.A.0.6_generic.ftf" but my xperia has the e15a version if flash it with this firmware what would happen?
you should get android 2.1.... and to your root issues you should set usb on debugging mode and you mustnĀ“t mount sd card just set charge phone instead.
so no matter if mi xperia is e15a and the firmware i would use in the flash tool is e15i

To repair your phone you just need to have the physical buttons working
Go to SEPCC / Sony Support Zone -> Software update -> repair phone (might be some other translations or words, as i am translating from the german version)
Go through the steps, and you will be asked to connect your phone in flashmode, which you can access by pressing and holding the back button while you turn on your phone.
After you do that, you have to wait for downloads etc to finish, and SEUS will flash back to stock.
edit: You will loose your personal data, which is stored on the phone.. Your SD Card will be untouched though

Get back to real Stock first. And check if your Touch is working properly
How can I get back to stock rom, from where can I download it, I m searching this since 3 days. Its my 4th day without phone.
Use the method i described on page 1..
with using SEUS (PC Companion) you as a person won't have to flash anything, it will be downloaded and flashed automatically by Sony.
