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

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

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.
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.

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.
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.
Posted from my X10i using XDA App & Swype
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!

okee dokkee debradning it is
Hello,
I'm a bit at a loss... Just got my X10 mini Pro 2 days ago, and last night used PC Companion to update the software... since then my Y/Z keys are mixed up (QWERTZ/QWERTY), I got a bunch of new Apps for chinese market or channels (channelnewsasia.com or so), and even a chinese soft-keyboard in the menu... so I'm assuming this isn't the ROM I'm supposed to have?
(The X10 mini pro is a Swiss model)
So yeah... I went to the SE page (chose Switzerland), and got me SEUS. Reinstalled the Software, but didn't see any change (except for the loss of my settings/apps of course).
Downloaded PC Companion from the SE page (again Switzerland) - reinstalled it, and chose to repair... still no change.
Would anyone know what I'm doing wrong, or how I can fix this? Its getting annoying, and I also don't trust the mobile with passwords and such, as long as I don't know whats going on. Do I need to send the phone in for repair?
btw... SEUS and PC Companion always had german text during installation/repair...
PS:
After these unsuccessful tries, I also tried to root the mobile, but the drivers don't seem to register correctly, and adb just gives me a device not found.
Infos from the phone:
Firmware version: 1.6
Baseband version: unknown
Kernel version: 2.6.29 [email protected]#1
Build number: 1.1.A.0.8
Arrr! Wrong forum! Could some mod kindly move to the X10 mini forum?
update: Found the original memory card from the x10 mini pro, and reinstalled PC companion from there... repaired... same state...
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

If you just do a SEUS repair type reinstall it will keep with the firmware that you have now.
