It's only SE update program which connect with phone in bootlader mode and then with SE servers and check if there any new firmware. Tested two days ago and no new roms was available.

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.
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.
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...
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
hi everybody I have tried to root my xperia x8 because i wanted to update the android version to 2.1 , i downloaded the superoneclick 1.5.1 and i did all the steps i've read here but at the end it says "FAILED the device was not rooted" and in my phone it appears the superuser aplication but i can't access to the root explorer because this message appears:"Root explorer has not yet managed to obtain root access.Because of issues with Superuser, this often happens the first time the app is run but is usually fine from then on."
I have no idea of what is happening , i did all the steps:i put my phone in debug mode , then connect the phone and click "root" and it is still not rooted :S
If someone can help i would be very happy , i'm about to become crazy :S
HI
If you have android v1.5 Donut and you want to upgrade too android 2.1 just install PC Companion (Sony Ericson software that you get with the phone in the box) and let the aplication search for any update of firmware for X8.
actually i have 1.6 version i've tried to update it with pc companion but it says that it has the latest version....
Where do You live?
You have tried to update your phone via PC companion?
PC companion>Support zone>start> ... And it says that u have latest software?
Check phone status do You really have 1.6?
I live in Peru
yes i've tried that and i still have the firmware version in 1.6
help me please
You don't need to root your android to do the upgrade.. xD just upgrade with sony ericsson update service, and after that you can root your phone normally using 2.1 firmware..
Although, you need to substituite a file in superoneclick: "thecage.." to "neuter" but rename to the original.. (sorry if i can't explain well, but i'm portuguese and i'm 16.. xD) search on the forum or wait so i can post the zip file already working, because i don't have it on my phone..

He's in peru and it might not be updated there. There's no such thing as world availablity for sony-ericsson - it's different all over.
My best guess for you would be to use the flash from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=962014
There's at least 3 links to it, not sure if the torrent is still working.
It's set as russian CDA number, but you can change that - look on x8 forums for way to change CDA (don't have time to help with that just now )
also LuisDias, as he's from peru he might be able to understand some of your portoguese
Peru? I didn't read that part.. XD anyway, i can speak spanish if he didn't understand portuguese.. xP

You can flash with E15i firmware and then flash X8a baseband that you can find in thread in my signature bellow
...maybe there is a way to update with pc companion like he is in Europe...
And I read about updating from other country on development section.
Easy way it's changing the SI number so it solves it like a workaround, still i'm not sure if it provides his language (i think it does) after that he can even install froyo or ginger eh
There are lot's of tutorials with infos to do it right in dev section, check them out.
well... actually i have the flash tool and i found this firmware "X8 Shakira E15i_2.1.1.A.0.6_generic.ftf" but my xperia has the e15a version if flash it with this firmware what would happen?
you should get android 2.1.... and to your root issues you should set usb on debugging mode and you mustn´t mount sd card just set charge phone instead.
so no matter if mi xperia is e15a and the firmware i would use in the flash tool is e15i
