i got my x10i on contract with orange a few weeks ago im not sure what version i was on upon recievership but i did update it to 020
now im struggling to find any orange branding on the device and this leads me to a question
normally handsets are carrier locked and updates come to us via carrier
but since i can use seus and the pc companion im assuming the device isnt locked
but i cant seem to get the 026 update ive tried the pc companion and seus and im getting nothing nor by ota
i also had a glance at the updates by country and i saw orange isnt listed as a carrier
just 3 vodafone generic and another one
anyone goit any clues??
its not so much the update im after ity more the clarification as to when i get them
ie do i get it when sony ericcson say so or do i have to wait

I've read some branded handsets are and some aren't, so it could just be the luck of the draw, but I assumed SEUS would just flash newer carrier firmware anyway so doesn't necessarily mean it isn't locked.
well ive waited and waited and still havent got the newest update has anyone else got the x10 on stock orange non rooted software and have been issued the newest update ive tried all the normal ways

Try running the "repair" method using SEUS if you haven't already, as I've seen some report that that has updated the handset to a newer firmware despite SEUS saying it's up to date.

This is true but be warned if you do an update using the repair service in PC companion you may loose apps, I did.
Also found some of them missing from the market so I reflashed to generic 016 and tried again using SEUS I download from the Sony Ericsson support website and this time I didn't loose any apps.
Where did you get your X10i? If it was Carphone Warehouse then it won't be sim locked or branded, otherwise I would imagine it's branded. I'm not sure if Orange have released the recent firmware update as my X10 was with Vodafone but is now unbranded, if you don't want to wait for Orange de-brand your phone.

well igot it from orange over the phone upgrade but i cant se any branding at all on the phone
rather not de brand
i can wait im just womdering if all orange users
The Orange var are orange locked, no intrusive branding but it has a Custom version number. If you use the Debrand method then you will no longer have the issue as it makes it a Generic UK spec but with an Orange sim lock.
(PS i work for a large UK Telecom retail company and so you can trust this info 110%)
well i understand but that would also
a, invalidate my warrantly
b, not let me update via seus
like i say i dont mind the wait but i see nearly every one get it but im wondering if orange is behind or its my phone
also i still didnt get 023
First yes de-branding would invalidate your warranty but you would still be able to update using SEUS, you'd only be exchanging the minimally branded Orange firmware for generic UK firmware.
As for Orange being slow, I wouldn't worry about it as far as I'm aware O2 users don't even have the R2BA020 update!

IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS REALLY A NEW FIRMWARE FOR SWEDISH X1S:
THE FIRMWARE IS: X1i GENERIC SE CDF1215-3315
(QUOTED FROM XPERIAX1.NET)
ANYONE WITH A SWEDISH HANDSET PLEASE TRY AND UPDATE AND TELL US WHAT'S BEEN FIXED

very useful .. the changelog
daniel
I tried to update my swedish X1i, but it said that I already had the latest FW on the phone. My unit is from the first batch that sweden received and it appears to me that there's not a new FW yet.
This is the one I already had:
X1i GENERIC SE CDF1215-3315
I just checked and I live in sweden, it said I already have the latest upgrade
X1i GENERIC SE CDF1215-3315 and my phone is bought the first day in sweden.
No there is no uppgrade here in sweden,just checked..
the updater claims no flash 8 or higher installed. although i have flash 10 installed. any solutions?...
I can't even check, it gets stuck on bootloader and nothing happens, not on the phone nor the computer
This is whot I got for my swe
X1 firmware
I have a Swedish X1. Just tried to update firmware and got the message that the latest firmware is already installed. The one I have is the one mentioned earlier in this post (SE CDF1215-3315) - which then is what the phone shipped with.
How do I get through the page with 7 steps? I have connected the usb cable in boot loader...

Run IE on your machine, then install Flash. Most likely you have Flash 10 for Firefox.
Hi all,
Got a message appear on my phone in the info bar today, says a new software update is available.
I've tried to follow it through but it says I must connect to the Sony Ericsson suite on my PC to get the update.
Anyone know what it is?
Ive got X10i FW1.6, Baseband 1.1.25, Kernel 2.6.29-rel with build R2BA020
Bought from Virgin Mobile (who supply them direct from SE factory completely unlocked with no carrier specifics on)
I may try to update when I get home from work tonight but the last time I updated the software from the PC suite it took about an hour and wiped the phone back to basic settings, I only want to do this if its Android 2.1!

I think it's R2BA026, Was news that they were realsed in the U.K and France to debranded phones
Its a good update, do it, forget for now the 2.1, it will stay 1.6, 2.1 will be lauched in 2/3 weeks.
and don't worry about wiping the phone - you won't need to with this update.
you will update to R2BA026
How dose one tell if their X10 is branded or unbranded? (ie generic or not)
I believe you can see that information in Settings>About Phone.
yes there is info there but i dont see where it says branded or not so thats why im asking

You need to go into the hidden menu. Go to the lock screen. and type in
menu, back, back, menu,back,menu,menu,back
Then go on service info. then model info.
ok, so it says brand, orange so its branded
But there are no orange software or anything on the phone

Unlucky. You can look into debranding. Its what I did. Or you can hope someone hosts the file up.
i had the same problem, debranding is easy its in the decrypted roms thread, download the files let it flash and viola its debranded as it installs a generic firmware onto the phone
about the apps thing, did your phone not have traffic tv or was that just me?
its got traffiv tv ya, thought that was just something sony stuck on there lol

It voids your warrenty, If you hand the phone into repair and it's running non orange software then they will not repair and and charge you for its returnal.
Though saying that. I handed in a x10 which was on nordic software into a o2 store with a fualty usb port. They replaced the phone. But that might be because they could not turn it on.
Becareful and no the risks before you debrand

I read somewhere here that when you flashed your phone with a official generic version then the warranty won't be voided
here in mexico techs from my carrier are so damn stupid that they won't even notice is not their firmware (just for the record, had an x1 with winmo in spanish, asked them how to change it to english or if they can put the firmware in english, their solution, to change the country settings, seriously they suck)
I have a daft question - If we update to 2.1 can we still hack bootloader if the devs get to it in the near future?
I'd have to assume it remains the same right?
What if it says Customized? Is that branded or debranded?

Me too, I've flashed my phone to O2 UK stock FW two weeks ago waiting for froyo but nothing so far. Going to flash XEU on 15th nov if nothing changed.
Hi. Can you do favor for me and others in Czech,Slovakia. Is in your flashed JPO possibility to switch to Czech, Slovak locale in localization settings and also swype input language ? Is it from samfirmware ? Thanks very much.

I feel your pain.. Still nothing on Orange UK either.
I emailed Orange to ask if they could tell me when it would be released, got this reply:-
"Thank you for your email regarding your Samsung handset.
I am sorry to learn that you are unaware of our process regarding firmware updates for Orange phones. Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience this has caused.
I would like to advise that Orange customers are not able to obtain firmware updates direct from Samsung themselves, this is due to the Orange branding that you have on your phone that allows you to use this on our network.
Please find below a link to our website where you are able to check in the future if an update via Orange has been released.
http://www2.orange.co.uk/servlet/Sa...96364420640&product=Feature&t=Product&tabid=1
Be aware that your handset may not be available on the listings until if or when an update is released.
When a new update is made available by a handset manufacturer they will pass a version of this to Orange so that we can run the required tests to confirm that this update they have released will co-exist with the Orange branding that you are required to use on your phone.
It is possible that the new update that is released may not co-exist with the Orange branding and thus we will not be able to release the update for the Samsung Galaxy, if they can not co-exist and we were to release this to your phone, this could effectively be detrimental to your handset and Orange will not process for this reason.
If the update version can not co-exist with the Orange branding then we will wait for Samsung to release a new update to which we will restart the testing process accordingly.
Be aware that it is not possible to advise of any estimated timescale for the testing of this update by Orange, furthermore, we can not guarantee that an update will be released at all regarding the Samsung Galaxy as the updates that could be released may never work alongside the Orange branding on the phone.
Because some of this information is speculative and based on situations regarding the testing of updates that may or may not ever be released by Samsung and the time it takes to complete the testing of the new updates, please accept my sincere apologies that we can not be more specific regarding your query.
As with the current Android update it has been released via an Over-The-Air format, this may be the situation for the the next available update, but this method we will not be able to confirm until the update is valid for Orange UK handset users when it has been released.
Please be advised that the answers to many common queries can be found in the Frequently Asked Questions section in the Help and Support option on the Home page of our website.
www.orange.co.uk
I trust this information clarifies your query"

Could u tell us: pda,phone and CSC versions please ?
I would be grateful, cuz I'm waiting for O2 FW just for the APN settings and for future updates.
If I update to XEU Froyo version now can I update to O2 Froyo version when they decide to release it?
Just thinking about warranty etc...

You can always change back to what you need via Odin if you're comfortable with that. If not, wait for official Kies update or you'll have lots of work to do.

I just reformatted my computer so i cant plug my phone into kies at the moment caus i havent reinstalled it yet. I can tell you what my phone says though
Model : GT-I9000
Firmware 2.2
Baseband Version : I9000XXJP
Kernel Version : 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build number : Froyo.XXJPO
Regards Jim
JPO from samfirmware sets product code to xxkor :/
While they claim that it is europian firmware, so ... and does not have cz/sk swype. I have backup of some important files so ot is not prob, but better is to be pattient and wait for official froyo. This is my advice for ordinary peoples.

I am happy to use Odin and don't mind the effort but are there actual O2 ROMs around that I can flash back onto the device later if needed?
Also will flashing an XEU ROM change my product code?

i'm O2 SGS user uk, updated my sgs last night to JPA via kies, didn't need reg edit hack... had jp6 (via kies using reg edit) previously. was available since 15/11/10 @ 2100 GMT, recommend rooting SGS via pc and OCLF, quad score before was 980 after was 1800.
much more solid compared to JP6.... need to fully test it but why you reading this get the new firmware!!!
forgot to add, needed to click the update firmware button more then once as i think the server which you download JPA from is quite busy, it is there though, thank goodness i don't need to deal with kies for a while!
Morning guys,
I couldn't wait (liek a load of us) for my mobile phone company (3 mobile UK), to finish of the upgrade from 1.6 to 2.1. So I downloaded thw rodlwide Generic (thanks to you brainy peeps on here!).
My question is, if I re-install via SEUS, which version will I get? The one from my mobile phone company or the worldwide one?
Many Thanks.

As usual, "it depends". You can go to any version by editing what
Customized Version is in your phone, you would use this,
X10i 3-UK GENERIC 1232-9592
to get to 3-UK. See this thread for details
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824711
If you just do a SEUS repair type reinstall it will keep with the firmware that you have now.
