Hey all, I did a search and couldn't find an answer. SE PC Companion is prompting me to update it to version 2.00.142. Should I? Could it block me getting root access later?
Thanks in advance
Nobody can give you that answer, until somebody has rooted that......
If PC Companion is prompting you to update to some version, then it is PC Companion softwrae and not the Phone's Android System....
So go ahead and update it...
I updated the PC Companion and it has no changes.
Plugged phone in and no firmware update.
Still has same UI and sub-windows as older version.

PCC or SEUS can try to update your phone.
Most of the regions in the wold have no update and Sony has left out them in the dark.
at first I got my phone from Dubai and I even didnt had market in my X10.
but I debranded by phone and installed UK version and now I updated it to latest RIFB001 with Kernal version of 2.6.29 and Baseband of 1.0.21

I no longer have dubai version, pls read my previous post, on the first debarnd I change it to UK version.
and from there I flash it to X10i Generic NCB (R1FA016) after that simply plug it to the PC companion and it will tell you there is an update available, simple do it. you will be on updated to R1FB001 by SE.
More details.

From what I gather, ota updating is an update without connecting to a PC. I'm pretty sure the ota available on jerps thread is for Japanese x10s. I haven't tried that one yet as I'm satisfied so far with the r1fb001.
Hope this helps: )

My Xperia specifications are as follows:
X10i
UK
T-Mobile
However, I use this mobile in Brazil, where I live.
What are the advantages of debranding my phone?
To which firmware would you recommend me to?
there are tons of guides with UK unbranded fw
the advantege is that you'd get the latest se fw w/o waiting for your carrier
026 or 029 are the latest as far as i know

By flashing you can remove the bugs, update to latest firmware, get rid of the annoying provider logos and also change language to Portuguese

So it would be best to use a UK generic firmware...
Any idea where I can get this 029 version? I googled it but couldn't find it...

I can provide you the debranding service , contact me by PM.
Well I tried debranding my phone to the Latin American Generic R2BA026 firmware... for a good 3 hours... ended up with that exclamation mark at one point. But in the end I just gave up. I'm still stuck with Rogers
Edit: If someone's willing to help me flash pls pm me
I've debranded in the past & wanted to switch to Latin America Generic but it always fails. The only thing that's changed from the last time I did it was SE updated their software.

Thanks for replying XperiaX10iUser, I have tried this too but SEUS says that I already have the latest available software even if I am at R1FA016.
I have followed the other guide too and it keeps me stuck at R2BA024 and SEUS doesn't show any new available FW.
Does this mean that after debranding to other FW, I can not update my handset using SEUS?
Any help will be appreciated.

Try running PC Companion then, and if it doesn't show the update, try the repair method as some have said that has worked too.

If it isn't much of a hassle, would you be able to put up links for both threads. (I tried the search function but couldn't find the posts, I am new to this site)

ok, sorry if this is a bit of a n00b question. Am I right in thinking that if I debrand my X10 now, I'll get the 2.1 upgrade earlier as it won.t have to go through Vodafone first? I've gthered from snooping about the forums that it's not worth rooting yet as I'll probably lose root after the update, but what about debranding? The secret menu says generic on firmware but vodafone on the branding...

That is correct yes.
As above can we trace its roll out?
UK Generic here with O2 carrier - no update
still on 504
SE roll out by bicycle....
Belgium 0 point
Just updated - Root - xRecovery & Jit V2 OK
well i'm using the hong kong version of X10i and got a better treatment: loaded now with a .024 firmware.
the problem with my SEUS is that it keeps on telling me that a new update is available while it still flashes in the .024 firmware
is it because i've done too much modding in the phone?
i've got JIT, root and the FX10 custom theme installed

Most probably because you flashed the dual-touch update onto your phone.
damn it,,
guess SEUS doesn't like us customizing our phones with 'future' features lol
It hit Saudi Arbian kits the day before yesterday.
You can get it from my signature.
well i would like to use SEUS to update my phone, as i feel safer doing it =)
(also because i want the chinese rom for obvious reasons, not because my english is not good enough to understand the menus=P)
although i would lose all my root, JIT stuff, I can always use flashtool--->xRecovery to help me customize my phone back

All languages is included in all firmwares. So you won't lose your language. As for SEUS and FlashTool they work equally simple in my opinion.

i understand both methods are just a matter of following the algorithm that we're given
but my belief is that if i'm doing something OEM, then i'm better off doing it using the original OEM software (well in that case i would use the flashtool to mod my phone. not saying that it's not a gd piece of software and in fact, it is really awesome. but i just don't feel safe enough to flash roms into the machine)
I tried update my phone with PC Companion, didn't get the .435, do some reading here and succefully updated.
PC Companion became voices of 0.24 is the current FW for 1232-9897
so does anyone with x10i with nordic or global have the new update via seus or companion ?
It would appear not...............................

If baseband is the only change and some small bug fix, I see no benefit of updating my present firmware and then get incompatibility issues with mods and stuff

For which country it appeared.
I ran into a problem. When i connect my Arc S while turned on it finds update and downloads it. Then software asks me to turn off my phone, press back key and connect usb cable. After I do that it starts downloading update and stops with message: "No update for your phone." I am using Sony PC Companion. Any help? Thanks!
How about the dialer issue (taking 3 seconds or more to open), is it fixed?
How about video recording issue (video lagging and mono audio), is it also fixed?

Ditto here. I have a SIM-free UK phone bought from an independent retailer and never received the second 4.3 either (in any form). Do you think your network operator affects the OTA update if you bough SIM-free from an non-network-operator? (I'm on O2-UK network). Was your brother also on Giffgaff like you?
As for your 4.4, did you receive an OTA update notification as well as via PC Companion?
Hang on... why is this 380mb when the others are usually 980mb odd?
EDIT: Wholy shoot..... glad I caught that in time. The download couldn't have worked properly. PMSL
Nearly flashed that and all.

MD5 is 74E1F5D4249D98C19340E9E380E2400D.
When you guys upgraded to KitKat without wiping your phone first do any existing apps get removed so they have to be reinstalled?
I ask because I just read that due to the new SD card restrictions done apps could be deleted when the OS is updated to KitKat.
