R1FB001 released via SEUS

Just updated my unbranded swedish X10i to R1FB001, via SEUS!

Any noticeable differences? and how did you manage to do it?

Germany, device by o2, unbranded, no new software via SEUS.

Pics or it didn't happen.
And perhaps u can upload your firmware and give us some infos about the improvements if there are any...

Nothing from SEUS in Sweden, Telia X10.... Still, could take a few more days for branded phones to be updated.

Im using a sim-free unbranded her in the UK and I downloaded SEUS and nothing happened here. I have a feeling it might be like the n900 where it is staggered to different time zones.
If it has worked tobv83 can you comment on what has and hasnt worked.

It did happen. But not with PC Companion, who showed i had the latest version. I updated through the standalone Update Service program.
No Creatouch app after the update! The device feels a little bit quicker, through MS and TS

I got R1FB001 via davinciteam on my Rogers x10 and I do not have creatouch. The differences are somewhat better camera (http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo...eat=directlink), faster media and timescape and the pictures don't have to be 8mpx to show up clearly in contacts (not sure if this was an issue for everyone but on my Rogers x10 all my contacts had blury contact pics unless they were taken through the camera). Battery life seems the same. Nothing has improved it better than the powercycle after charge tip. I get at least double the battery life by doing this... no idea why.

which country you in??

@Mark_Dawson
Just updated my unbranded swedish X10 to version R1FB001 via Update Service!
So i think he could be in sweden, perhabs
@gmarcoux
nice pictures, but are you sure you will post your family pictures in the net ?
i wouldn´t do it, there are enough...ill people in the world, who like such pictures very much.
I for myself do not post the pictures of my children in the internet, but thats only my opinion, it has not to be yours, i don´t want to bother you or make you angry. Just my opinion.

I appreciate your concern and am not offended. It just happened to be the pictures I took and I can easily lock them via picasa.

Not available in the UK yet.... (tried using PC companion and standalone SEUS.)..

i got rogers x10a debranded and i just tried the SEUS and nothing. so i guess we gotta wait for this update.

Keep in mind that it might not be possible, or take longer to root your phones if you update.

Rogers X10a can now be updated to R2BA020 using SEUS

Good news everyone,
People who have the Rogers X10a can now be updated using SEUS.
1. Download SEUS:
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/download/1/110/61/1275980198/Update_Service_Setup-2.10.6.21.exe
2. Follow the onscreen instructions
Happy Updating!

Great News! I hope the devs know about this, so they can update the x10a baseband for the root. This would mean no more audio jack problems for some X10a..s that get root!

Hows the in-call volume? Did it get a boost? Currantly cant hear well when theres noise around.

Is that the 2.1 or just a firmware update? I can't tell since i never got an update

No 2.1 with this update. All improvements listed in changelog thread present.
Excellent update.
In-call volume marginally improved.
Sent from my X10a using XDA App

Wht exactly gets depeted from the phone with
this and how do we prevent it.

Thanks for the heads up! By the way where do I find the change log thread? Where is it exactly?

Did you try rooting it after the update?

@forzanerazzuri
Nothing gets removed. Settings, contacts, email etc stay the same as prior to the update. There are two choices through SEUS. "Update" and "Factory Reset and Update". Choose Update and all remains set-up.

I swapped my firmware from the R1FB brazillian to the R1FA014 Argentinian and then SEUS recognized an upgrade available.

Great update. Its like a new phone. Love the fade effects. Much faster and the battery is awesome. 5 hours with wifi on and I'm at 91%. Normally id be around 70%. Thanks SE.

Thanks! uabtodd that worked =D just finished charging, i'm excited to see the battery difference =D

Thanks for that. I went from AR firmware to BR. Then switched back to Rogers for the update. Ill debrand again using AR then

Battery life is definitely better, though I wish I was getting the kind of life others seem to get. before the update, I would take phone off charger at about 6am and by lunch time would be at 20%, have to charge it up at work just to make sure it would make it home before dieing. Today, after update, I took it off charger at 6am and i just now plugged it up to charge at 5% (9:30 pm). At least now it makes it through the day without a midday recharge.

I'm pissed, I did the update, everything went fine. Everything was normal. However, the software was telling me that there was another update available, right after I updated. So I let it run again. Turns out that second update, whatever it was, did a hard reset to my phone and I lost everything... Software now tells me my phone is up to date, thanks a**hole!
I'm gonna call Rogers telling them i'm pissed and I'll have to use half of my monthly's allowed date to reinstall everything because of their update.. I only have 150mb on my data plan, no wifi at home (wifi modem/router died 2 weeks ago) I'll see if they do something for me...

You should use the Sony Sync every few days and back up all your important stuff to their free online storage....I always do just in case

Wow just bricked my phone doing this.
When I used SEUS it downloaded the thing, then as it was installing it gave an error and canceled
Any help?
Going to call SE tomorrow

Still no update for 2.1 UK Generic Orange.......

Does anyone have 2.1 on the UK Orange generic yet ? If so how did you update ?

Yes the update for UK generic only have been released..... download using SEUS

Do you mean the Orange branded firmware provided by Orange? It's not out yet but on its way see here.

yes thats what I ment thanks very much mate Hmm now just a matter of how long :/

Before end of November is what I've heard. I'm going to hang on until then as I can't be bothered to faff around de-branding and re-flashing firmware.
All the whining on this board about the update has put me off to be honest even though the reported improved touchscreen responsiveness does sound appealing.
Hopefully all the negative vibes will have dissapated by the end of the month so I can be delighted when I finally update.

got a message from orange yesterday saying the update will be out this month.
Hope this helps.

KF3 finally available for UK XEU version on Kies!!!

I am about to faint here, they have finally posted the KF3 update on Kies! Plug your SGSII's into your PC and update!! Doing it now...Hopefully the camera focus during video recording is finally fixed!
Y2J

Finally. Downloading now...

Finally!

is this a joke? not in the mood for jokes people.

Nope no joke.

Not seeing it here.

I can confirm it exists. Thanks for the info.

Man, searched for my cable for like 10 minutes, connected, THERE IS the update available, but Kies says "recharge the phone" and does not let me proceed proceed with the update. It is end of day here on the east coast of the USA, phone is at 20% power. Gonna be one sleepless night for me

They released an update for Kies about two weeks ago. Are you using the latest version? Also, I don't know where you got your phone but some of the Expansys USA phones were from Eastern Europe if that makes a difference.

Because I'm anal, I rebuild my phone from a factory reset when I update it. It was kind of cluttered anyway. Since I've got to go through the whole setup process I'll post any changes to apps and such as I'm slogging through it.

I know this has to have been covered in the past, but I'm struggling to understand it. I know if I update through Kies, I'll lose root. Is there a way to download this kernel and push it through Odin and not lose root? Sorry to rehash this again. Thanks.

Actually how can you tell if it's UK or Eastern Europe? All my instructions came in English and both the device and manual use british english. Anyway just plugged in again and said I had latest which was KE7/KE4

Download is sooooooo slow.....

First casualty. IM is broken. Either through the Social Hub or via the IM app it craps out with "error occurred."

When you plug it in Kies it should tell you what version your phone is in brackets at the end of the firmware version. Mine is (XEU)

The box would have been in Polish and when you turned the phone on it would have been set to Polish too. From what you described, you've got a UK phone. It's odd though, that Keis sees your phone's firmware but doesn't offer an upgrade.

I forgot to boot my mac into bootcamp. Kies for Mac is beta and hence does not offer firmware upgrade, only the PC version does.

I have the polish version also, and Kies has KF2 as the latest firmware. I tried it twice, but I had lots of problems with data and voice connection on Rogers in Canada. I hope the KF3 will fix this problem, when it is available.

Isn't kf2 much recent build than kf3? Wondering what is the advantage of updating to an older build.

Update Available for Rogers!

Hello, I am currently on build number 2.1.1.A.0.6. I connected my phone to pc companion today and it notified me of a update! Anyone wanna take the plunge and let me know

can't you just backup you current settings on xrecovery and try the update yourself and report here?

it might be the 2.1.1.B update that'll make you go to baseband 6X.
Definitely not the GB update.

fake, i think.
just one day passed after ptcrb check. cant be the new fw available.
besides, se said 2.3 wont bi available for branded prones, generic only.

it may happen after you use the custom kernel
once i freshly flashed the .b.1 firmware
and i used Z`s kernel
the next day my phone come with a message that there`s a software update for me and can only be processed by pcc or us
i was really happy cause i think its the GB
but when i connect my phone with my pc
it says the new firm ware 2.1.b.0.1 can be used ...
its really funny

Phone is bootlooping, I will look for gingerbread on SEUS

No thats some #%@#$.... They never said it won't be available for branded phones, it will maybe not be available... In the Netherlands all branded phones will get the update Hi, Vodafone, KPN, MTV Mobile etc... all big providers... There is a good chance that some branded phones in other countries will also get the update And yes, SE NL confirmed it...

Sure it can be a new firmware.
It might be the 2.1.1.A.0.53 firmware.
And all major Swedish carriers (3, Telenor, Telia) also confirmed Gingerbread update for their branded X10's.
So the old statement that Sony Ericsson said about, only generic kits would get the update has been debunked by many carriers around the globe.

have any rogers customers updated to this yet.
Just curious as to what the baseband is

rogers from what ive spoken to them about they wont have any update from 2.1 > 2.3. and it seems they have no plans in doing so. unless they change their minds which they'll have to work too hard to put all their crap in on an "outdated" device to them, which they wont.

I am on Rogers and have an umodded phone running 2.1.1.A.0.6. It says I am running the latest software in both SEUS and the PC Compansion software so I don't seem to be getting this new update you speak of.

ya, with rogers as well... if u speak to one of their service reps or tech support any information they give you regarding an update to Gingerbread I would take as hear-say since they just dont know... you'd need to speak to someone working quite a bit higher up to get a real answer.
I just debranded my x10 yesterday to a generic, running the latest updates, waiting for Gingerbread to come out now so I can update to that.

I'm a Rogers client, just plugged my phone in to check this and there's no update available for my x10.
At the Rogers SE Play launch party in Toronto I was told that GB would be available to us by now, although I wasn't supposed to say anything about it outside of that party.

There will be no problems having a generic device on Rogers.
I would recommend flashing the Global Generic for X10a
