Hey folks, let me start by saying that I have searched and read threads on this subject, but alas I just did not understand them.
So please, if somone wouldn't mind answering my questions with simple answers, I'd really appreciate it.
Firstly, a while back I 'rooted' my phone with the 'Exploid One Click .apk Root (Latest v.1.08 30 Aug. 2010)' method and all was well.
However I ran the update service on my pc recently (looking for 2.1 DOH!) and it gave me an update...which left my phone unrooted but with the latest 'RBA026' build number. I panicked and just did the exploid root method again and restored my phone with titanium backup.
So my first question is, is the firmware I have now unbranded/generic or does the root effect the firmware?
If it is not unbranded/generic, which is the easiest method to achieve this?
And, lastly if I have an unbranded/generic firmware..can I still get the 2.1 update with SEUS? (if not how would I get it)
I understand this will probably frustrate some people as all the information is probably already contained in the forum..but like I said I just couldn't get my head round it.
I'd really appreciate any help that anyone could give.
Regards
TD
EDIT: BTW this is the info on my 'About Phone' screen:
Model Number - x10i
Firmware Version - 1.6
Baseband Version - 1.1.31
Kernal Version - 2.6.29-rel [email protected] #2
Build Number - R2BA026
In the key lock screen, press the following button combination after pressing the power button to bring the screen on (don't unlock the phone though)

Thanks for the quick reply!
WOW ddn't even know I could do that...lol
The screen shows the following:
Model - x10i
Country - UK
Brand - Customized
Thats what I have and yes its generic. In theory our handsets will be one of the first to get the 2.1 update
We'll need to re-root obviously though.
Oh and updating through SEUS will work fine also!

That's brilliant mate, just what I wanted to hear..thanks very much for the help!!!
(if there was a rep/thanks button I'd have clicked it lol)
No problem. Hopefully 2.1 will come today

Yeah, Fingers crossed. I didn't think this would bother me all that much, but I've gotten swept up in all the excitement...lol
Since the topic is already here.. I just wanna know if my phone is branded or not (didn't find a SINGLE topic explaining what means what)
So:
Model: x10i
Country: Central Europe 3
Brand: Customized CE3
IMO that shouldn't be branded, should it?
Are you on R2BA026? I would expect that to be generic yes.
I debranded mine some time back, this is what mine is showing
(FW version is R2BA026 GENERIC)
Model: x10i
Country: Generic GLOBAL
Brand: Generic
Mine shows,
Country uk
Brand 3
Will I get update first like other uk ones?

Your phone is debranded but mine is still not. Since you already asked about debranding, and the easiest method, I think that the build.prop replacement is one easy method, but is it safe to tried?

I believe you can flash it to a generic UK, but I would like to have an updated method for debranding, safe and reliable
if anyone can contribute?

Grrr. I have had my ATT X10a rooted for a while, and SEUS/PC Companion/Update always says I have the latest firmware.
It's been 30 days for me, I want to put in generic X10a NAM firmware so I don't have to deal with any changes SE/ATT may have made to make it harder to root/debrand.
I've dealt with Davinci in the past to debrand my SE Java based phones, just never with an android phone. I've gone over the threads here, but 99% deal with X10i and X10a Rogers and X10a AT&T firmware seems to be a bit different and forced the SEUS update that prevents the substitute files exploit.
Even the substitute files exploit seems to require that you actually update date twice, once with the 'current' firmware that you got, and then again with the swapped two files.
The Rooting scheme that is often pointed to, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717949 is confusing for X10a. I've downloaded the files mentioned, and the extra x10a files. But to me, the flash rom is in the X10i download and there is what looks like a partial flash in the step4cmd in the the fixes something and makes it a x10a? Is this correct? The only X10a/i difference is the 10K file?
I wish someone would rewrite the directions specifically for the "I" and "A" versions so there is no confusing language like, '#5 do Step 4' and there was only a single flash required. (I particularly find this funny since step 4 and 5 were eliminated for the "I" version.)
Whatever happened to the "update" file on the SD card method? There was a CRC error problem? I wish I could find a NAM rom that just had to wrapped/renamed to Update and put on the SD card. Reboot, wait a bit and you're gold.
yeah. i just did. i posted because i followed that guide, and now on 026. it's pretty easy. just make sure to look thru the troubleshooting threads listed in that post for help.

nope, for both
Update no longer current
Because of the new SEUS Update Service program update, the link above is no longer current. The current version is 2.10.5.11, while that link still believes the current version is 2.10.4.22. I tried installing version 2.10.4.22 but it updates to 2.10.5.11.
I have an X10a rebranded to X10i. Now i'm trying to go back to X10a and I cant due to the program update.
Can someone provide other methods of rebranding? I have tried the PC Companion 2.0 and no luck going back to X10a.
Bump. Anyone can create the new files for re-branding given the new "com.sonyericsson.cs.usbflashnative_2.10.5.11.jar"?
What about X10 Mini

Try here m8: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683793
the build.prop contains all the version information.
i am not sure, but if SE refers to build.prop on the phone to determine if update is available, then people can swap their build.prop with the one that they want to brand to and do a repair via seus..
just a thought though...
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

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.

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!

Hi All,
Just saw on my phone X10i that some new update is available..
Is it for MT or something else?
Also can u plz confirm if I will update:
1. I cannot root after that??
2. All installed apps/games will be gonne??
What firmware do you have right now?
If it's the DT update then it won't delete any of your apps or anything. Also people have been able to root the latest firmwares using either SuperOneClick or the flash tool.
By the way, all of these questions have been answered many times already on this forum.

There was a pinch-to-zoom update during Chinese New Year. And there hasn't been any updates after that. So I have no idea what this current update you claim is all about

Is the gingerbread update available yet, on Orange? I tried checking on kies a few days ago and it said I have the latest version, but I have froyo 2.2.1
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
In a word, no. Samsung withdrew the Gingerbread updates due to some fault or whatever so the only ones available are the JV1, JVK, JVB and JVA Roms which are floating around at the moment but these are primarily for unlocked devices so I don't know what effect they may have on your phone if its locked to Orange
So when will we get it?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Why don't you ask Orange?
So when will we get it?
Very simple answer
After Samsung release it and Orange customise or sodomize it and Orange upload it to the Kies server .
More complicated answer Ask Samsung .
jje
It will be weeks after the stock unmolested firmware is re-released. Im on orange too and debranded mine because I got bored waiting for Oranges 2.2. It is still sim locked though (hasnt caused any problems)If you decide to try this make sure youre 3 button download/recovery is working though-mine wasnt originally-but is now thanks to the good peeps here.
If you look in the forums you will find a free network unlock solution too.
After flashing all the Gingerbread roms though I find I keep returning to Darky's 9.5 (Froyo based).
If you do decide to de-brand & network unlock you should also consider changing you CSC to XEU too that way kies will check for the official European i9000 rom instead of a network branded version.
You can always re-flash back to a carrier rom should you want to though.

But where would you get one from ?.
That seems to be a problem 99% do not save carrier rom and few are available elsewhere .

Just like me I to hunt around for "t-mobile galaxy s odin" and sure enough google provided me with a link to a t-mobile 2.2.1 rom flashable via odin, failing that you could always use fwspoof to emulate a older carrier from and have kies re-install the carrier update.
Just thought you might have a secret stock .

Orange delayed and delayed 2.2 for the SGS, it was supposed to come out in November last year and ended up being January for the official release. This was months and months after the official unlocked versions came out, so I wouldn't hold your breath on it being a quick release.
That said 2.2.1 seemed to come out relatively quickly compared to 2.2
Fingers crossed they get bored modding all these releases with their own crap and have it as downloads from the market...as it should be.
I may have missed it in the Orange Terms and conditions, but a while a go when I read through them, I couldn't spot anything about modding phones making warranties being void (although I'd double check), so you could always try a custom ROM if you can't wait.

I hooked up my galaxy S to Kies yesterday morning and was offered 2.3.3 from Orange, Installed it and all went well ... until I tried using the 3G instead of wireless, I cant access 3G at all. anyone else having this issue?

Delete your APN settings & re enter them from scratch!

I did that when I checked them.
I got the Data working by doing a factory reset which was kind of a last resort but oh well.

any chance you can post your PDA, CSC & modem info for me?
Not really. Factory reset is good practice after any upgrade.

get yourself the stock orange rom from your country, to have it in case of warranty
and install a custom one
Just root your phone, make a Nandroid-backup (CWM-backup), save this backup on your PC and then you can flash a custom-ROM.

Don't suppose you could explain how to get hold of a stock rom for a branded phone? I'd like a stock OrangeUK rom with all the bloatware and stuff just in case I need to send it for repair.
thanks in advance
No need for explanation anymore I used checkfusdownloader to download the froyo update for orange uk. The available gingerbread update is fubar from what I've been reading in the web.
