Do Not Update Your Xperia X1 Using The Sony Update Service...

Do not use sony update service just yet
Although Sony DO NOT yet have a firmware update for the Xperia, the update service still gives you the option to restore the phone by reinstalling the currant firmware version.
But DO NOT USE THE UPDATE SERVICE JUST YET, consult sony technical service first, if you are experiencing problems and are looking to restore via update service. (vista 32 bit, i also know one case on windows xp from a xperia user)
I carried an update to restore the original firmware and the phone got blocked(bricked) update stops at 11%
i had to send it back and purchase a new xperia.
Excellent phone, hope all Xperia users are enjoying the experiences with X1

WHAT??!?!?!?!? They didn't exchange it or something?

i dont understand, this is windows mobile, why would we need to upgrade firmware? If anything, we just need to hard reset the phone and its back to factory. I mean there are custom roms but we cant flash it until we have a hard spl

Updates
you wanna be able to update the phone to fix bugs in the FW, like the Bluetooth disabling itself issue, or the panels being slow etc.
As to y u would wanna re install the existing FW, some people might have messed around and bricked their phone, a quick solution would be to reinstall the FW.

I can help you with flashing to generic firmware on X1.
Just send me a PM.

Can you please help me, and tell me where I can download the Generic AT Rom for X1, I need to send it back, but was not able to get this ROM? even the Update service of SE, there is no option to restore, it say only, that there is no new software for it.
Please help, and is there any special SPL I need to use?
thanks in advance.

I'm glad I came across this thread. I was about check for updates but I sure wouldn't have reinstalled the same firmware version. Anyway, I guess I should just wait for the next update and update the phone after I find out how it makes the phone better.

... to late, ive already updated it with the latest dutch vodafone rom version. luckly it didnt brick.

thank you

All official roms are here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475482
If you flash an official rom you dont need hard-spl as far as i know,
the how-to is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445662 or here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446070
Just read the rom development-forum...
About the SEUS - i think it is true waht it says, i didnt see any new ROMs for Canada, at least here on devs.

the phone is orignally from uk,, i did SEUS in uk last week..
now did it again here in canada..so same thing no update
i need to know what you guys recommend i should do..update what to what
also will my phone lock to its orignal network if i update? like i said its from 02 uk orginaly
and is the windows mobile version up to date? if you can let me know that will be great

I am not sure about this......
But I think that the SEUS application update is regional..
What I mean is that when you start it up and it ask you "Your Location" it will only check if there is an update JUST for the Region...
I have a X1i here in the US. When I first check, It gave me the same Message, "not update are available!!"
So I decided to change my Location to the UK!!
Viola!! it update my X1i!!!
hth,
Stuart

I dont really understand what you mean with "will my phone lock to its orignal network if i update?". Did you buy a locked one or what? actually if you have unlocked one it shoudnt lock whatever you do.
what you guys recommend

first i did US region,,no update
then i tried UK region twice...no update
so i dont know how you got it?
btw when did you update it?

Why dont you just download an official UK rom here on devs, copy it to your fat-32 SD card and flash it? you dont even need to hard-spl if you flash an official rom as far as i know and no need to think how to get seus to work.

Just connect it, it will update if it needs to, you won't see the update, but you will go through the procedures if the update is available.

Firmware Update - Legend HTC WWE 2.03.405.3

Hi,
I've just updated my Legend to the 2.03.403 version. So far i noticed that there's a new version of the quickoffice, improved performance and battery. Most Important multi-touch (pinch zoom)for Google maps!Has anybody figured out any new / additional feature beside what i mentioned ?

Without a garantueed method to root this update or a pre-rooted version I won't touch this even with a ten-foot pole.

Just convert your sdcard into goldcard. That's it. Launch the official RUU file...install it... and you're ready!

No, I was not talking about "How can I do this" but about the implications of that update.
There is no root-version of it for now, or is there?

The version is unrooted. Nothing will be rooted. You're using an original version with no changes... should be totally fine.

If you flash this to your rooted phone, you loose the rooting..

I didn't have rooted it. Just goldcard. And yes you loose the root.

this new firmare is out from today? WHere can I read my firmware version to check what version I have?

Will this firmware update become avaliable OTA from HTC? If not, how do I install it on my phone?

No OTA for now, you have to flash this like a normal rom, but you might need a Goldcard.
So:
Create Goldcard (It's somewhere on this forum)
Put the Goldcard in your phone
Turn on the phone
Connect your phone to your pc
Run the RUU from your pc and follow the steps
It should flash the new rom, but remember that you'll loose root!
If you haven't rooted, there is no problem

One change I've noticed is that I can now use the map background from Terra Time - it would not work before.
Now that I have installed this update does it mean that I can no longer root my phone?

Another change - I can now open up the full youtube site when tethered instead of getting palmed off to the mobile site.

Hi, Can anyone tell me if the new firmware has Cyrillic keyboard?

It has Russian keyboard, but it is hidden (at least, on my phone).
I had to set my locale to Russian with MoreLocale. This switches the entire UI to Russian unfortunately, but enables Russian in HTC IME.
Same was true for my original 1.xx ROM.

...
just updated on ger unbranded legend with win7 pro 64 bit without any problem... now testing ;-) ...

Is there swedish language included in this?

Is this ROM have English lang available on it? I bought my legend from india (1.32).
Will i be able to get OTA updates from HTC after flashing this ROM? I guess i ll also lose my warranty?
Please tell me as i want to flash this ROM desparately.

[Q] Updating Xpeira X2 with R3AC036 firmware using SEUS

Dear all,
I just saw in se-nse.net forum under the thread "Firmware List from SEUS" that the latest firmware for X2 is R3AC036.
Can someone help me out if this firmware can be installed on my phone.
My phone currently has R3AA035 firmware, GENERIC_SG. I live in India. I'm unable to update to this R3AC036 firmware using SEUS.
How do i update to that firmware. I read on some forums that this firmware has more updates.
Please let me know. Thanks in advance.

the update is in Chinese language you can check this thread for changes(use google translate)

Thank you very much. But i came to know about this firmware update after looking at this very link. Google's translation makes it all look crazy.
You're saying its a Chinese firmware, so that means there's no english firmware R3AC036?
Do you have an Xperia X2? Does it give good battery life?
My X2's battery gets drained really fast. I tried disabling Slideview and Panels but i did not see any drastic change. I reset the device to factory settings. Deleted a few unnecessary panels and the battery seems to last similar to when i disabled Slideview and Panels.
I really like Slideview and SPB panel. I just don't feel like deleting everything this phone was actually advertised for.

yes i have x2,the battery life is really good with moderate usage last 2 days
as for the panel system I've disabled it using sktools... for 2 reasons ... memory depleting and power hungry.

is there more info on this thing ?

No i guess not until some expert advice is seen here. I'm hoping someone here might look up into the highlights in the new update and whether there's an English version of R3AC036 for Xperia X2.
Would definitely love to have a perfectly functioning X2 instead of compromising by deleting and disabling everything in it.
Seniors please help us.

Experts, any help?

i think any one can update to this firmware by avery simple solution
-change language to chinese then update with seus , full description here
then you would get the new update,but the question is "can you revert back to your original rom???"

Hey, thank you, but that method looks a bit risky to me. If something goes wrong, the phone won't even have the customizations in its ROM to bring it back to normal.
Its strange that no one is talking about this new firmware in Xda. There must have been some reason SE has released the firmware update.
I'm wondering why SE hasn't released this new firmware for all regions?

I dont think that would solve his problem. Did you try updating on fresh installation of win 7. there should not be any problem with the os or the drivers because i've updated my X2 so many times with win 7.
Just let us know what method you're following after starting SEUS. Does your phone act normal when you do what you're supposed to do during that.

you try to check the Windows Firewall !! perhaps usbsync or wmdc have been blocked by them..

Is there anybody from China here in XDA who has an X2 and has updated their firmware? They would be the best people to explain the difference(s) between 035 and 036 firmwares. Please do not hyperlink to chinese forums and suggest using google translation.
Clearly explain the changes you've noticed in your X2 (better or worse, and how)
Please help all the X2 users.

please help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tango on E900 and still no Internet Sharing !

Hi everyone.
I want to ask this because I didn't find any clear and direct answer to this question (in the awfully long threads about this topic).
I don't own an Optimus 7 directly, I am talking about my girlfriend's phone.
Long ago I heard about the possibility of enabling Internet Sharing on LG E900 Optimus 7.
I already know that a particular driver or firmware update is required for it.
Today I managed to update the phone to Tango using Zune. Still I don't receive any LG firmware upgrade ...
These are the firmware numbers I read :
OS Version 7.10.8773.98
Firmware 1.1.2.10
Hardware 1.0.0.0
Radio 1.1.2.10
Hardware radio 0.3.5.0
Bootloader 1.5.1.0
My girlfriend wants Internet Sharing but she won't let me reset her phone. She doesn't want to lose any message or app or photo or video or information she stored so far.
So the question is :
is there ANY WAY to flash the driver, to flash the firmware, to flash what's needed into this phone to enable internet sharing without losing any data ?
I already enabled the Internet Sharing option using registry editor, but the driver is still missing. "There is a problem with the current settings" message appears when I try to enable it.
any dev could help me ? I wonder if the cab sender isn't enough to send this driver to the phone.
can somebody give me a clear answer except for "you must reset the phone" ?
Currently I am downloading the firmware 'LG-E900AT-00-V10g-222-10-SEP-29-2010+0_DZ'
Can I flash it without losing all the informations on the phone ? (the real question is : the firmware will reset the ROM too ?)
Waiting for your answer.
Have a nice day.

Good to you that you made update on 8773 on OPN firmware, but my opinion reason why you be luck to update on 8773 is because you do not have OPN firmware that bring Internet Sharing.
My Story:
Couple months ago, Zune SW pop-up with notification for new update, at the end my phone was able to act as access point.
To be able to do that on your phone, you will need 1.1.9.10, in between there two other firmware 1.1.4.10 & 1.1.6.10.
I am suspect that reason why I cannot update on 8112 and 8773 is this firmware.
Please if someone with 1.1.9.10 OPN firmware has same problem, please describe here.
Currently my firmware is LG-E900_V11i_Final-jan-27-2012-2250-7720, as I can see this firmware does not exist under stock ROM for Optimus 7. In any case bring ICS to LG Optimus 7.
Cheers.

Can you send me the cab updates for these firmware ?

And the most important question is :
what happens if I send the wrong cab to the phone ?

superbump !

hey
that is the reason of silly support for LG E900, no custom roms etc.
Because Users don't know what they have in own phones.
There is internet sharing since mango.
Serach in setting: internet acces!

You didn't really read all my topic, didn't you ??
What are you saying is wrong.
Tango didn't bring the internet sharing.
A firmware update that was not received by everyone bringed it.
The firmware update changes accordingly to the brand of the phone.
I forced the 'Internet Sharing' option to show up by using WinTT.
When I try to enable it as I already said a "There is a problem with the current settings" message appears.
The real question is still this :
I bought my Optimus 7 in France, and I discovered later that it was 'OPN' branded. I used it with Vodafone since the beginning. PHERAPS this is the reason I didn't get the firmware update.
So what happens if I try to manually flash the cab 'LG Optimus 7/E900 - OPN NEU branded 1.1.6.10 - November 7th 2011' over :
OS Version 7.10.8773.98
Firmware 1.1.2.10
Hardware 1.0.0.0
Radio 1.1.2.10
Hardware radio 0.3.5.0
Bootloader 1.5.1.0
???

Hey,
Same history for me but my Firmaware and Radio are different.
OS Version 7.10.8773.98
Firmware 1.0.4.10
Hardware 1.0.0.0
Radio 1.0.4.10
Hardware radio 0.3.5.0
Bootloader 1.5.1.0
Thanks and sorry for my english!

for what its worth, I know the german vodaphone branded rom has it, and its works great, for me its been enabled since i've had the device.
