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.

we'll see if this improves battery life.

Really?? What country are you in? What build number (settings/ about phone).... where'd you get it? or are you just messin?
yeah I would like to know as Im in the UK with unbranded version and dont have any update
i have the x10i factory unlocked version so i guess it unbranded.
in the usa
and this is not a OTA update you need a computer.
obviously hasn't reached the uk yet then.. tried using SEUS (via PC companion)... nothing new yet..
Can you let us know the build number you have though..
Thanks
build number is R1FA016
Thats already out im from uk and already got it on my phone
Bricks were shat, but then had to be retracted.
I AM DISAPPOINT!
Thought as much. Se blog said it would be in the next 2 weeks, so would have been surprised to see it within 24 hours.

I'm in the US and there are no updates for me yet. I have the X10i unbranded and unlocked. I also have the latest version of SEUS (2.10.5.11). Still rocking R1FA014. I will be extremely sad if I don't see the update for a while.
Can you also tell me if this update fixes the playnow force close problem? It's very annoying since I get that message everytime a text comes in.

i didnt have thae force close for playnow and it is not available in our country it says.
Come on, be honest. Who got all excited there when they read the topic title lol. Apparently there is another FW update coming in the next 14 days.
Hello all, newbie here.
Plugged my unbranded phone into computer yesterday to charge it and....................................
PC Companion says update available. Did all the bits and pieces and restarted and all the appropriate numbers appear[/I] to be the same?
PC Companion now states I am up to date - ver. 16 - this has not changed.
So before you people go flaming at me for not reading the forums, I have been trying to make sense of it since yesterday but this forum is very cluttered and there are no simple direct straight to the point answers. If i missed something, Sorry.
Ok i bought a x10 off a dude who bought it directly from Rogers 3 months ago. From what i have learned, Rogers x10's should have some sort of ra...14 rom i believe, but mine has r1fb001 which i learned is the Brazilian rom i believe. So do rogers x10's ship with tht build number or has this been modified? If it has been, is it beneficial to have this or change it back to the build number that other Rogers phones are possibly using? Also will the new update be released for the rom i have now or is it specificially for the north american builds?
Thanks for taking the time to reply to me and educating me.
The guy you bought it from seems to have flashed that ROM on to there. It certainly didn't come from Robbers. I don't think the benefits between having that ROM on your phone and 014 are too great. You should be fine with either. If you want to get the Rogers branded firmware back on there you will probably have to flash it to the unencrypted 014 ROM and then run a repair using PC Companion.
Rogers hasn't released any updates for the X10 yet, so you'll really see no benefits in flashing the Rogers firmware on there at the moment.
oh awesome thanks for the quick reply. So what is all the fuss that people are making about then about the update that was recently released? Is it going to slowly come to the whole world or just for the asian and european countries?
The newly released firmware for Rogers (.20) improves performance and battery life. Also improves media/timescape and adds a backup/restore app. Good update.

How is the auto brightness working for you folks? For me it always sets it to the lowest setting possible i am inside. I do have a mirrored screen protector, is tht probably why? Its pretty dark hard to see when the screen goes so low.

Yea I thought mine wasn't working properly. Then I put the phone right upto my monitor (to mimick bright light) then pulled it away after a few seconds, and it slowly started dimming.
Auto brightness works by dimming the screen when it's darker, and brightening the screen when it's brighter outside.

yeah i do realize that, but dont you think the x10 takes it to a different level in terms of how it reacts to low light? Where it goes down so low ur eyes hurt trying to see the screen. I come the world of the palm pre where the screen is awesome just the x10 but on a smaller scale but the sensor was much smarter. It let you set the minimum for the light sensor to go.

ok i have downloaded the file from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683793 that says "WWE_R1FA014" and copied the contents into the flash tool i downloaded too. Then replaced the contents of the flash folder with the ones from the "WWE_R1FA014" files. then i followed the instruction in the "how to" list in the flash folder. I replaced the text in the "Device ID" as instructed and ran the flash tool. Then when the phone restarts it shows up as the same firmware. Then i run the PC companion and do the repair and still have the same r1fb001 build number on it.
So what am i doing wrong here?
Thanks

try doing it by repairs using pc companion, that's what i did and it put me on the new firmware, might lose your apps and stuff though
I still say root it you can remove soo much garbage from the phone, and besides you'll get updates quicker.
Rooted X10a
Well i just rooted my X10a, so i got the B2FA020, should i go back to my carriers update???
i got the same problems, i cannot sent MMS with the rooted phone, it just looks like I am missing an app because i enter the Apns, but i don't know where to find it, so if someone can help us out with this issue we will be very grateful.
Also timescape is missging the facebook and tweeter plug-ins :-S
You guys are my best shot
Just follow the guide here http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=195467
Best to download the x10a generic AR R1FA014 then follow the guide. Then update once more to get the latest R2BA020.
If you still want the Rogers one you will need to download the original Rogers firmware
issues
Well. im going to try it, altho this might result on me losing my root access right?
Everything works perfectly just the fact that i cannot send/recive MMS, like it doesn't even give me the options to attach a file, if i could fix that without flashing my x10 would be pretty nice...
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

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
Great news. In the next few weeks there'll be a software update available for your Sony Ericsson X10. For more information go to orange.co.uk/helpx10
That was via text. A bit useless but thought I should report it anyway.

yeah just got that aswell. im already on 2.1 with noric FW lol working fine
Really? Any feedback on that? I'm a bit jaded from my windows mobile days where doing that causes problems. I would go as far to say that my phone is mission critical because it is how my customers contact me etc... but I suppose this is an official ROM. Am I being illogical for waiting for my operators update?
Feedback much appreciated

No problems what so ever, a[[art from random reboots but ive always had that hoped it was a sofwtare issue but now its going for repair seems to be bad batch of ram.
Dont think its actually aby diffrent than any other rom just released in another country first lol
yea i got this txt too but im already on 2.1 nordic
Please discuss any 2.1 topic in the 2.1 thread
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.

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.
