Guys,
Now I have rooted my phone from R2BA023, how do I root back the stock ROM when I want to upgrade from SEUS to the new firmware next month?
Can advise me accordingly, thanks.
Guys,
What is the difference between R2BA026 with R2BA020? Is R2BA020 belong to UK Generic ROM? What about R2BA026?
Anyone to help me? Any difference in the selection of network for R2BA020 and R2BA026?

There should be no need to go back to stock when the update arrives. You should be able to plug into SEUS and update. You will then lose root, and have to root again.

Brother, thanks for your reply. Are you on R2BA026 also? I notice my reception is very bad compared to R2BA020 and this evening, I have no connection to the internet at all.

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.

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?

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...

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.

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)

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!

Am I doing something wrong here. Please let me know which would be of great help.

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.

If you flash UK generic rom as he did, the phone will look for a UK update and not the one for canada. So you will be able to update OTA.

You have a locked bootloader I'm assuming?
Not exactly sure why this is happening for you but this is exactly what would happen with my phone before I flashed to the uk generic firmware. I was thinking it had something to do with some removed SE software (was rooted). I would probably try starting fresh and flashing the Xperia_Play_Release_Generic_UK.ftf with flashtool, root with gingerbreak and then try ota update again. As soon as I did this OTA update went through without a problem. I'm just guessing that maybe you're running a carrier specific firmware vs the generic UK. I've flashed my phone multiple times with that firmware and flashtool and never had a problem (until I do something stupid and have to reflash ). Updates are not region specific but carrier/firmware(which is provided by your carrier so same thing ...) specific. This isn't your problem of course, just saying rogers firmware will only poll rogers for ota updates, the same with other providers firmware. You might want to take a look at this post though http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14726176&postcount=41 hope it helps
thanks for responding...
thinking about it, I may have caused it. After doing the generic Uk flash. The last message said on the flash tool said to. enable debugging and reconnect.
I then pressed the root button, but it did not work. Stupid as this was for the x10 I think. Guessing maybe this changed something that causes the ota to fail.
I will just have to start from scratch.
thanks agin for your expert advice.
