hello i have unbranded x10a that is running R2BA020 is there anyway i can download the R2BA023 or where i can download it on my phone cuz i heard it has a better in call volume. or is it only for uk? any rogers customer or any1 in canada has this version in their x10? please do share
Well if you root your phone, it comes with 023, which is what I've done. But you could use flash tool, with one of the many links going around the forum for the firmware.
X10a 023 unbranded firmware: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IK1HOS43
Android Variations: Check em out!

Rooting unlock the potential of your phone, plain and simple. Also, you would just have to flash if we would ever get the 2.1 update.

Surely it not. It've just released. Dev will need time in order to root it.
Plz wait.
Any changes you notice...
its alot slicker than 020 for sure
It is said that the 026 has better speed in Mediascape and Timescape, but i've tried yet, cuz my company wifi is down, haiz.
There is no big change in this new FW as I notice, the baseband is 31 now
wifi radio is better tho aswell
here in Ireland ive got update to 026 as well and no root after update.
Think ill stick with Rooted 024 for now
is the update ota?
How did you guys update if your phone was rooted? I know it will lose the root, but how did you update in the first place?
Thats strange, I'm on rooted 024 on O2 here in the UK, if I do an OTA check, it says im on the latest firwamre, did yuo guys update using SEUS?
Bloke
Flash back to a Generic firmware, using Omnius or whatever. Then use SEUS

Rooted fone will be able going back to original one by redo the step1 (back to 016 FW) after that, OTA or SEUS is depend on your choice
Im on R2BA020 from the southwest of the uk and both OTA and SEUS arent showing an update yet
I'm not rooted and using FW016 and SEUS says my phone is up to date. Am u doing something wrong?

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...

Sorry for bringing this up again but... any ideas?
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.

Ferraripassion, it would be great help if you can tell us how to debrand our handset. I followed everything in the debranding guide, still it says 'Installation Failed' after replacing the files in db folder. Please help, thanks in advance.

Follow steps 1-5 HERE to debrand (UK generic FW), then use SEUS to update to 026.

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.

Any other way that you can suggest?
Sorry, forgot to update that post..
I followed Grospolina's tutorial in the "Exploid one click ...." thread and it worked fine for me
Then used 1 click root to root the phone - I'm on debranded LAM R2BA026 now

Hey pngface,
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)
Thanks!
@ XperiaX10iUser: Yeah bud, I tried repair button with both SEUS and PC Companion.

Its in the thread... "Exploid One click bla blah" in the android dev section... not too hard to find
Look at the first post, and then the last few pages, should be someone quoting that link over there
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...

Hi All,
I have a X10a from Rogers and i Rooted it to R2BA024 using the rooting steps in this forum. After that I connected to PC companion and SEUS both are saying that my phone is up to date. Below are my queries,
1. After I rooted my Phone Am I not eligible for updates?(Say for future 2.1)
2. Is there any generic unrooted firmware for X10a available?
3. Can I unroot the phone again back to Rogers firmware.
Request one and all in this forum to answer these queries. Sorry if it had been posted in some other thread. Looking forward for your update. Thanks in Advance.

Hi Vikram,
In future please search the forums before you post again
1. If you rooted it to an X10a version of R2BA024 then it should be fine
2. Yes there are many... again, search the forum
3. Yes, there is a Rogers firmware available too if you want to go back (That's what I'm going to do once Rogers releases its branded 2.1)

Hello Bro,
I searchd the forum and seriously did not understand them. So I wanted to ask my doubts in this single thread.

If I falsh my X10 with Generic firmware will I be able to update to 2.1 or i need to go back again to Rogers. Sorry if my thread has annoyed people in this forum. Thanks in Advance.

Sorry buddy, typo
I meant you should have flashed it to X10a, which you did. So from what I've heard that should enable you to get updates, even if you're rooted.

THe problem is currently I have R2BA024 FW but i see that the latest is R2BA026. When i connect through SEUS and PC companion both r saying that I have latest software. When I clicked Repair i get an error saying that unable to download files. So was bit concerned. Do you have any info on why this could happen. Thanks in advance.
Just what I asked in the other forum. I am currantly at R2BA026, and my Rogers X10a reads X10i (Even if I followed each and every step correctly). Is there something wrong with X10i-X10a step? and I am not alone, there were many people reporting same thing.
I am very happy with R2BA026 but would flash with original Rogers FW if R2BA026 can't read my phone as X10a.
Please help!

Do you have the Generic R2BA024? Or is it branded? Can you check that by accessing the secret menu? (search for secret menu in the forum to see how to access it)

Bro I used the info in the below thread,

Am I doing something wrong here. Please let me know which would be of great help.
Thanks
I'm pretty sure 024 is stock Rogers. I used the flash tool to get to 026.
Edit. By stock Rogers I mean its the last update in our region.

Well, Its not a big deal actually... when the 2.1 update is out we'll all know at xda.. and then u can just flash the 2.1 files when they are posted here (should be at most 1 hour from when they release )

Hi folks,
Please let us know it the froyo update appears in your kies and nobody reported it from ypour country so far to make it possible for other (less and less patiently) waiting fellow SGSers to follow the progress of the update country by country. It would be a nice extra to also report your Product code (can be found by searching the registry starting at HKCU/Software/Samsung/Kies/DeviceDB for ProductCode)
Thanks in advance for everyone who cares enough to make easier the already too long waiting process for us.
Positive feedback(s) so far:
Sweden
Norway
Denmark
Finland
Iceland
UK O2 (?)
Germany
Netherlands
Please try to avoid "no update here" post if it's possible as they are only noise an make updating first post to reflect the current status a lot harder. Thanks.
Here you can find the info about how to fool your KIES to dowload the scandinavian update (thanks dakine)
I would also like to know this. I just wrote a post at Androinica about the update, so please feel free to share your comments there as well
Android 2.2 Froyo for Samsung Galaxy S has finally arrived
According to this post, it is Denmark, Norway, and Sweden confirmed so far.
Is there a way for us to manipulate Kies into downloading the update?
Ok I have found that Kies will now let me upgrade using the following:
ProductCode: XEE
HIDSWVER: I9000XXJF3/I9000SWC/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3
That's fine, but what your product code will be after the upgrade?
Not sure, that code is for Sweden.
I just realised I still have voodoo lagfix installed. Anyone know if this will cause problems?
Still nothing for Germany, checked few minutes ago.

Remove it to remain on the safe side.
In Finland Kies is also offering JP6, just tested.
Plugged phone in quickly this morning and was told i could upgrade got all the will wipe all data ect, unfortunately didn't have time to run the update, hoping it's froyo.
thats in the UK by the way on O2

You HAVE to disable it, the new firmware will not be able to recognize the EXT4 partitioning system! follow this guide on voodoo lagfix webpage:
http://project-voodoo.org/documentation
In this way you will revert back to RFS. As soon as voodoo lagfix will be ready for Froyo (not yet) you'll be able to install over the previous one that is still disabled.
I have just disabled it now.

Finland, JF3, Kies .82, XEE, JP6 being now offered.
On the other hand and not a big suprise, my other SGS JM9 doesn't get updated, even if XEE.
