hello
from what i have been reading build number should be R2BA026.
mine is still R2BA023, is this normal?
i have ran SEUS, and the "software update" on my phone and they all show its updated
Are you branded or unbranded
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
Yes its normak if you have a brandet version. That means your carrier need to send out the firmware to seus. They maybe just eaitet fir the android 2.1 update. Instead of rolling 26 aswell

mate, u will either need to debrand completely, or flash your phone with a different ROM
(or is that basically the same thing !) i flashed my optus branded x10 with global generic (i think its UK or Nordic) and all is good.
another benefit of this is that u wont have to wait for Helstra to get their finger out and have a 2.1 branded ROM for you. if you have a generic rom, then you get the 2.1 update as soon as its available (via seus obviously)
cheers, tim
edit: when you run SEUS - it checks what version you have (telstra) and then looks in the dB for the latest telstra rom available. telstra have only published/released up to the version you are running, therefore "no updates available". If you were running a generic version, when you connected up to SEUS it would be looking for a different version. hope that is a bit clearer
if i completly debrand it, and something happens to it, can i just brand it again and send it back, kinda like. rooting then un-rooting ect
?

I'm also with optus, do I need to flash mine? or is optus quick with releasing updates.
Also does you optus My account widget works in your phone, coz mine doesn't show data usage.
I contacted optus to find out why and they had no idea that we got a widget in the first place

sure can mate, look at the decrypted ROMS page in the DEV section. But unless something serious goes wrong, you will never load a telstra rom on it again

I found that optus were the quickest of the Aussies, but still they would be a few weeks behind. You will NOT get the update within the same day as it gets released - put it that way.
re: widget - yeah mine never worked but now im on generic i dont have it anyway
wow, i just had a look through that thread, and theres pretty much nothing that would walk me through it, so basically i think i would screw my phone
unless ofcourse you feel like helping me, it sounds good!
could you help me out with what i need to get started or a tutorial or something?

right, im gunna want a bit of confirmation from others here....been a while since i did this.
using Bin4ry's post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711907 i grabbed the latest files from the fileshare websites listed. basically the files that Bin4ry and the other guys have created are a script (batch files) that prompt you step by step. i know the method is called ROOT but its the same process. To ROOT in this original method, you had to flash back to an older revision of the firmware and then update. When you flash back to the older version, it is a generic version. Then you can simply use SEUS to update to newest. KEEP IN MIND that doing ANY kind of firmware update will completely erase anything on the internal memory. This is NOT the sd card, so pics and such will be ok but contacts - msgs - settings will all be gone. might be best to do the one-press root, install titanium backup first and then backup your phone book and other important apps that you may have.
main thing is to ask questions. there are sh!tloads of ppl on here with heaps of knowledge. be safe in the knowledge that you cannot, CANNOT completely screw your phone. you can always flash another firmware back onto it using SEUS. once ppl hack the bootloader, this will be a different story but until then just get in there and have a go
good luck and happy modding!!

main reason that you would root first is so you can use titanium backup to backup your apps and settings. You will still need to flash to a non branded firmware, jerplea has a few ROMS on his posts, probably best to have a look in those threads and ask the masters
i am by no means an expert, i just fumbled my way through it

trying that flash tool thing from the decrypted roms thread
confusing as hell
oh man, i give up. i got no idea how to do this from any of the posts.

when you say wont work....what do you mean? When running the flash tool are you following the prompts on screen? you need to have USB Debugging enabled on the Settings=>Applications=>Development enabled. let me kow where it is failing and we might be able to get it working for ya....if you are still keen anyway
just been reading through the original post from Bin4ry again (the flashing/rooting one)....i think that you should post on it exactly where the problems are, where it is failing and what you are doing. There are several active users on there that are very knowlegable on flashing

i have debugging enabled.
i turn my phone off, hold down back, plug it in. and the green light lights up ( as it says in the read me ), i start X10flash.bat, and then it says C:/andrew/downloads/X10flash.jav -jav. ( or something like that ) is not a valid internal or external command, press enter to exit

it sounds like a java problem actually.....do you have java installed?
what OS are you on? if its Win7 64bit (or Vista 64bit), there is a 64bit java fix that you need to run also. have a look at this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=713457
if you are on a 32bit machine then chances are its a deviceID issue but from what you have posted above - it looks like the java problem.
win64 bit, and i think i got java cant remember lol.
will check it out though soon thanks
Hi,
The usb port on my xperia x10 is broken (common issue apparently).. I'm currently on v1.61 and I was wondering how can I update the firmware to 2.1?
OTA says to connect the phone to the computer, but can't since the usb port does not work...
Is there a way to put it on the memory card and run the update??? or is there any other way I can get the firmware update?
Thanks again...
ooops should have gone in the questions forum.. sorry...
Erm a bit long winded but if you got a micro sd reader, take the memory card out and put in there, dowload, a rooting app, xrecovery and the 2.1 files from somewhere, like jerpeleas post, rename the 2.1 file update.zip and put it on the root of your memory card. Put the card back in the phone.
Run the root app to get superuser, install xrecovery, reboot and keep pressing back whilst booting phone back up. Then select install custom zip and select update.zip then let it flash
Hope this helps
Vengeance
Ps if its under warranty send it for repair

quick question.. where can i get xperia x10 rogers 2.1 firmware from? thanks again for your help...
Don't think it's possible as you need to kernel upgrade aswell.
Which I think need to be flashed with cable.
The fact that the USB port is broken is really serious. I will just give to you the quickest and best advice I can think about on this moment: take to your X10 to to get repaired.
Sorry mate, but I guess that's the best solution.

then just connect your phone with computer and reinstall the firmware using se pc companion or update service. just make sure to backup your contact sms and so on using backup and restore app. reinstalling will remove root and your problems.
yeah,thx 4 the help bb.hope it gonna works on
or reflash, same thing, same result
Hi! I put jerplea custom kernel into CM 6.1.3 via xrecovery, when i reboot the system doesn't work! i try to enter in xrecovery but it doesn't work!! how can i repair my x10??
thx in advance
Dario
Hook up the phone to the pc to the sonu ericsson software called seus. Hit the repair option.
If that doesnt work, try flashtool which is a pc program too which is in the x10 android development section. There r howto guides in there if u dont know how to use it. Flash the firmware with the baseband u want for the compatible ROMS want to run on the phone.
After thay u have to reroot the phone. Sorry about this but u gotta start over.

I'm going to copy and paste this reply to everyone who messes up their phone with a custom kernel. We are going to get LOTS of these kind of threads soon...
There are already a lot of ppl complaining that they "broke" their phone and dont know the reason, because they are to "lazy" to read the OP for installing custum ROMS and kernals.
Agreed, reflash with SEUS, I had to do that twice, when I was noob.
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
ok fires you must be to back to the original software 2.1
step 1
download Sony Ericsson updater
after download set up in your pc
step 2
connect the usb cable in your pc
step 3
open the sony ericsson softwer update and choos x10 phone and next
step 4
now turn off your phone
step 5
connect you phone and Click on the button right
now turn on your phone
You will notice that the computer knows the phone a new way
After the piece
You will notice that the program moved to the next step and descends Software
This step will take approximately 10 minutes
I am sorry for bad English
i am not trying to be a smartass here, but ppl should really read OP more carefull. you cant go wrong if you backup everything in xrecovery before aplying new update or rom. i tried several of the new custom roms and they worked all. just stick to instructions and everything will be fine
in short,
I wanted to install new rom on my x10,
ok i downloaded the rom, (xRecovery) backed up the old one, did factory reset and everything else following all the rules. After that I restarted the phone, "Sony Ericson" showed up, and since its still there .
FCUK few seconds later i understud, i just made a big fcuking mistake, in order x10rom i instaled x1rom AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
is there any medicine??? or I can frame it on the wall as my first bricked x10
thnx 4ur attention
oh god this thread again?
you CAN"T brick an x10....
Use flashtool or seus to flash firmware.

Why don't you just take a look at one of the countless guides within these forums? Here's a hint, there's a search function buddy
And on a closing note, this should've been posted in Q&A.

Ok. Go to google; type in SEUS - Sony Ericsson Update Service
Download and install the .exe
Then update it the way it tells you to, then your done!
BTW: you have lost all your data. Unfortunately. Next time maybe some reading would help lol.
tnhx, SEUS solved tfe problem
You said you had xrecovery and made a back up before you installed the new ROM.
Were you going from a 2.2 ROM,to a custom gb ROM?
If you were, did you install the ROM and then the pre rooted kernel/baseband before you turned your phone on?
Because if you installed a custom GB ROM without the right kernel it will get stuck on the SE logo.. Just a thought.
If you did have the right kernel/baseband, maybe wiping delvik-cache and fixing permissions right after you install the ROM might help if it happens again.
