How to check MR2 availibility for a region? - XPERIA X2 General

Hi,
I would like to know, how can I check MR2 upgrade availability for my region (UAE)?
Note - I have MR1 on my X2 and I have tried to upgrade it to MR2 using SE update service but it says that my X2 is already updated!
Thanks

That means no update in your region yet.
Keep checking, sure it will be there soon.
regards
Javier.

MR2 is still not out for Norway.
I wonder if there is an easier way to find out when it arrives than having to remove the battery, run SEUS program, connect USB, press volume down and power e.t.c.?
Are the updates announced somewhere?

Ask your local support centre. Demand to speak to a manager if the person on the phone cant answer you and ask them, I am sure they will will actually check for you then. As I said before, that's how I got my answer... but he said Nordic, so that includes you... maybe they are having a delay in translation

Last week, T-Mobile offered me, to make a (so called) upgrade, which means to extend the contract for further 24 month and to get a new device/mobile phone (for low cost). Starting from October T-Mobile offers the old 64MB-MDA with Windows Mobile 2003 in German. The new MDAII will be available at the end of 2003, they said. So I hope the new software (WM2003_DE) will soon be available on T-Mobile's Website (http://t-mobile.de/mda).

Its realy sad that t-mobile is not activly promoting the xda/mda here in usa. infact... most store workers know very little about it here.
i noticed o2.uk even advertise it on tv!
here... even the 24 hours support staff dont know much, they just replace with new unit everytime a software problem arouse.
believe it or not, this is my FIFTH ppc replacement!!
altho i HAVE figured out how to fix the dead media player problem,
they have not! but i still send it back every few months... for a 'scratchless' unit
if they are too dumb to know their product, i dont think there is anythin wrong with using their warranty to my advantage.
anyway... thanx for the reply
Sending it back?
How do you send it back? You call tech support? Give us a play by play, mine has some scratches on it too....
here is what happened.
first for real, but then i abused their ignorance!
my media player stoped working. when i launch it. it closes immediatly!
i called their tech support... they had me reset and try stuff, but nothin worked. so, naturaly, they'll say, we'll send a replacement.
but their replacement developed the same problem, and they
couldnt fix it. not over the phone anyway...
well after 3 replacements... i found out that it was fonix voice dial, and/or viavoice doin it, they were assigning functions to 4 keys, when xda only have 2 usable (calendar and contacts)
so.. media gets lost and closes.
you have to a registry editor to remove the 2 extra key assignment and that will fix it..
BUT! to get to the point... call and tell them u have this problem
and they wont be able to fix it. they'll just replace it!
make sure u reinstall the old 2002 that came with it.
not that they dont know that u changed it! every time u hard reset the device, it sends an SMS "[email protected],version #, date/time"

Does it really do that? Heck just take the SIM out when you do a hard reset.
HAHAHA
Really if they know that then they must have TONS of HTC Resetd from me.
interesting.
I updated my unit to a ROM kitchen version and frankly..
I helped somethings but I still have problems.
Im really waiting on the XDA II.
I hope we see it soon in the US.
Im on my 5th unit also..
But Im actually having problems.
I thought it was T-mobile or something but I got a T610 and I have two sims.
When I have problems calling out (voice or data) I immediately try with my T610. (guess what... no problems)
Im not sure why Im having such bad luck with the units..
maybe its the power supply..
they said they would send another..
I havent seen it yet..
hmm
gotta run ..
I need to call them

Radio 3.28.00

Hi guys,
just thought I'd mention that I had six Qtek1010:s upgraded to radio version 3.28.00 today. It is not available for download yet, but you should soon be able to find it on www.qtek.se.
If you're on Vodafone in Sweden, since Saturday you need this upgrade to be able to use GPRS. Vodafone made some changes to their network to support 3G-2G handovers.
Yes I noticed!!!!
Information is difficult
Have you any idea about WHEN?
or is there a relatively easy way of doing myself??
Well.... the easiest way is to go to Engström Telecom and if you ask gently they should be more than happy to help you out.
Excellent service!
Or, you could wait until the download is available and try the upgrade yourself.
If you go to Engström, call Vodafone and make them give you a refund for the 250sek "express fee" that you will have to pay Engströms to have your phone updated while waiting.

Any news on this? I just got my second hand Qtek 1010, with radio rom 3.25. But I can't find the 3.28 radio rom on www.qtek.se...
I don't know why, but they seem to never have got around to publishing it on the website. Just contact Engström though and they should be able to help you.

I don't know how the goldcard method works, but I'm pretty sure that the serial number will have to be a HTC stock serial, not a network provider's serial. Just try it and find out. It won't bite!

Doesn't matter to me though because its the same ROM as I installed last week 1.48.405.2 via goldcard.
Ive just noticed on another thread that folk are installing 1.6!
Mmmm, think I'll leave it for now

I thought the goldcard method used a serial from your microSD card? (unless i'm missing something)

haha damn... Do you know which version it is though? Have to wait till I get home to download it (strict network settings here i.e. no exe files.... which is annoying considering 20mbps download!)
I have a UK o2 HD2. When i enter my serial i get "Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device." Any ideas??
HTC are a joke!
On their web site for the ROM it clearly states this update is a generic update and you will lose any network provider supplied apps etc. That statement implies it can update any HD2. Well it won't becasue HTC know full well it won't update the phone if you purchased it through one of the 3 UK networks selling it! It doesn't work on O2, T-mobile or Vodafone and the phone is not available on Orange presently and probably never will be. Vodafone are dropping it but that is another story! Thus for virtually all UK customers this update is a "white elephant". Basically you get best from HTC only if you buy the phone SIM free offline from what I can see and 90% of UK customers do not. See the quote from HTC below. A more correct statement would be this will not work on 90% of HD2's in the UK!
Warning!
* This is a generic software update. Any additional software or settings provided by your mobile operator or company will be lost. If you require this customization, please contact your supplier first before upgrading

You can use the gold card method floating around on this site to upgrade. The automatic network set-up will detect your operator and set up your setting. It wont however install any specific apps provided by your operator ( if there are any worth having).
On another note I don't quite see the point of releasing 1.48 when 1.61 is out, bizarre.

1.61 got leaked rather than released didn't it?
Valid point
However, what is the point of HTC putting out an update that for 90% of UK custoners won't work!? The gold card method does strictlly speaking invalidate the warranty.
I have just spoken wth HTC and they say my phone is Vodafone branded despite the fact it actually asks what network it should connect to on initial setup and has no Vodafone screen on boot up. Vodaone are saying they do not brand their devices. Thus depending on who you sepak to you get different answers!
What concerns me now is that as Vodafone are dropping it in the UK can we reasonably expect any ROM updates from them now and if not will HTC just leave us high and dry? Quite frankly I think HTC will quite happily leave us out in the cold! If they do it will be the last HTC device I ever use. HTC only have themselves to blame for this mess as far I am concerned.
I agree with you about the 1.61 ROM upgrade.
I will try the Gold Card method again and hopefuly I won't just get a "Not Allow" message when trying to boot off the card to update it.
Or try the European version WWE leaked earlier on this site if you have probs with UK version they are basically identical ROMS with just extra language support.
I'm personally going to try 1.61 can't be bothered waiting for HTC to release officially. Regards
I've already tried that and got nowhere. I will try one more time before just regarding HTC as a total joke!
Surely We just need the serial for the download ? not the install
I am sticking with the leaked 1.48 rom for WWE until they release or the 1.61 WWE non turkish one gets leaked too.
Not sure I want to be flashing my phone every 5 minutes and 1.48 ain't too bad so far.
Surely if you just get a serial number, so you can download your ROM, it will just generate an Invalid Vendor ID message when you try and actually apply it? Unless you use the Goldcard method of course.
That is the question, someone must know

You have to use the goldcard method to flash a different rom as the cid is different and won't work.
Thanks. That's pretty much what I thought.

Changing language and running updates

One problem I always had with my X1 was selecting a different language. I live in France but do not read French. I flashed my ROM with the generic UK and kept my hard keyboard in French. However, I have never been able to run an update as a result. My phone has always worked great, but after a year of no updates it has gotten a little buggy here and there.
I am sure there is a work around but seriously, don't we have better things to do with our time than compensate for SE lack of service?
My question is two fold. First with the x10 will I be able to change the language and keyboard layout of the phone to English? I don't mean flash the ROM either. I mean can I simply go into setting and change the language of the phone? Or will I be forced to flash it in order to have my purchase the way that I need it?
Second, and this is in regards to flashing the firmware. As a long time SE customer (p900,p910,X1) I am well aware of how mad SE will drive you waiting for their site to actually post updates that work (does over promise and under deliver sound familiar?) If I flash the phone will I still be able to run an update via SE update service, or will I have to keep hanging out on this site with you lot? Not that I don't love you all
Finally, if I do decide to un-brand my phone (which I more than likely will want to,, eventually), is there an easy way to find a complete list of the lastest neseccary updates?
Thank you in advance
Unlike the windows powered thing before it, the X10 has international support. Therefore your not required to re-flash the rom for a localized version.
Updates on the X10 can be carried out on the handset, itself! Doesn't need a standalone PC anymore!!
Great News!
Neo, that is great news. I read a few things that eluded to that but nothing better than having a direct answer. So thank you.
I see that everyone and their brothers are flashing anyway. Usually related to d-branding their phone. Do you know if I decide to d-brand my phone will this auto update still work? Or will I get the same error message I get with my X1 (that it has been altered). Does anyone know, has anyone tried this?

Having absolutely no experience in this field, therefore I can only tell you what I know. From my knowledge most handsets on the market haven't been branded by it's providers (at least not on Vodafone UK) since they come with the standard, if not ugly blue wavy theme.
There's a huge thread on here entitled Debranding X10, maybe you can find more info there?...

Connect to SEUS like you have and allow/choose re-install. You have this option even though the software is the latest. Take the time to read that page slowly.

i bought one without a warranty for three months because SE sell X2 in May here. And few days ago i send it to SE, The SE Emma3 can't do anything...
So i get here for help, Xda help me,god doesn't do anything.
they should all have a warranty. doesnt matter where you get it from. any item you buy should have an automatic minimum 12 months manufacturers warranty. and since theyve only been making them about 6months theres no way sony can say the 12months are up... im sure the X2 actually has a 24 month manufacturers warranty. it most likely doesnt have a retailer warranty but sony still have to guarentee against manufactureing defects.
the only problem is they might claim its not a fault with the device but caused by the third party application being installed. so they will say its not their fault its stopped working and therefore not covered by the manufacturers warranty.
if emma cant force the firmware onto it and fix it then it doesnt sound very promising to be honest. it might not even be a software problem, maybe a chip or some ram died during the install.
Xmmmm.
The first and single SW release from SE with MR2 was R3AA35. Where did you find X2 with R3AA10? The issue you described looks like you installed SW with wrong certificate and Windows can't start some low level driver without correct certificate.

what i bought was parallel import goods , so SE China doesn't provide a warranty for it
EMMA3 can download the rom , but it was failed to install to my X2
i'm sure i got a brick cause the intalling of tom skype

Do you remember - was new Windows 6.5.3 UI installed together with your R3AA010 or "old" Windows 6.5.1 UI was integrated? Did you buy this unit in China Unicom office or is it some test unit provided for preliminary testing to China Unicom? It's something strange - nobody here say anything about MR2 ROM R3AA35 for China Unicom - so if you have got unit with model id for China Unicom with old RTL/MR1 SW you never find later MR2 SW for this model - so you can't update your unit.
