Hello, I think my phone was the UAE version, as it lacked market. I rooted it recently, also installed a market. Now I see some korean language in the market besides the usual english. Also, I installed the latest update by changing my buid file to the one provided in a thread here.
When I go to that menu by doing the menu back back menu thing, it only says X10i.
So well, any help would be apprecited in determining the present status.

dont care about the home of your phone. important is what brand or firmware is on it and if its x10i or x10a you can flash anything you want

as khanem sad use update and you will have all data in your phone after that.i did the same and everything was as it was before
i updated the phone from 14 to 26 today..
i was expecting it to wipe ol the data, account information etc..
but to my surprise, it didnot touch a thing..the phone remained the same as it was before the update(wallpaper, settings, data etc) apart from major touch screen improvements, fluidity etc..
On another thought, I gonna upgrade later when its more stable. Looking at the Root/upgrade thread there seems to be alot of problems with it.
I've just checked for an update and SEPCC said there was an update (I was on 024) so I backed up using the SE backup app and used Astro file manager to backup most of my apps.
HTH
oh n btw after update I'm still on 024
may try the repair function to see if I get the 026
Don't do that... Download seus and use that..

When I tried to update my X10i that I de-branded using Omnius to R1FA016 UK Generic and then OTA to R2BA020, my phone OTA told me to use a PC to update so when I tried this SEUS told me I had the latest update but I only had R2BA020. So I did a Repair using SEUS and then tried an update and again it told me I had the latest update. When I looked in "about phone" I had R2BA026 so the repair must have upgraded at the same time.
I'm no expert, only now learning this stuff but just my experience.
Now to make things worse I lost all my apps when doing the repair, I had backed them up using ASTRO but some were "Private" and could not be backed up. When it came to re-downloading these apps (Tapatalk Pro, Astro keycode(add free) etc.) they were not on the market at all, no matter what I tried I could not find them and I've been trying all day. So I come home from work and decided to flash my X10 back to R1FA016 and those missing apps are back on the market?
Anybody care to help me out here? A FW 026 issue? What should I do, don't want to update to 026 and loose my paid for apps again but the phone was def better with the 020 update?
Help!

Such as?
People are having troubles with the rooting, but the firmware is pretty solid. Only issue I know of with it is the old WiFi bug:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739528
I bought a new SE Xperia X10 thru AT&T, tried rooting it but couldn't complete it properly. I tried to reset the device but that didn't help.
Now the phone says, it has an operating system for SO-01B and won't even show a keyboard (virtual) to type anything. Also, I couldn't update the software again using SEUS as I get the message that there are no new updates for your phone.
Any suggestions to reinstall the operating system all over again in original condition?
Öhm, yes you should download the NEW files. If your phone is SO-01b the files that you used are the very first that was available! (A few month ago )
Please download the new files and stick the guide:

If you have an AT&T version of the X10a it should have R2CA016 as the OS version. I have decrypted that version and created a recovery install for it. It is 134mb zip file so I can't share it here. I posted in the Decrypted ROM thread but no response from the OP yet. Send me a PM and maybe we can figure out a way for you to download it. It is basically the "debrick tool" with the AT&T files already merged. You will have to determine your device id but everything else is complete.
Also, I recommend using the one click apk to root your phone. You can install the apk using ADB and it does work on the AT&T X10a version.
Thanks for the help - I'm a little naive when it comes to acronyms, help me understand what you mean by PM here?
PM is Private Message! lol
If you still want to root I recommend universal androot. It roots your phone in one click and is pretty much an app that does it for you with no fuss or complication and it should hopefully allow you to root it again once 2.1 is released as it let's you choose which superuser version to install.
It also gives you the option of being able unroot your phone if you wanted to.
I can't post a link but a google search will come up with the goods.
I'm using it and it works great hope this helps

I have an X10 I bought that was with Rogers. I unlocked it and I am using it with Telus.
Since the provider itself is supposed to supply updates, and since Telus doesn't have the X10, how am I supposed to get them?
Thanks guys
Load an X10a generic Rom. You should still get the update.

I also I'm using a Rogers X10 that I unlocked and rooted using the following guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711907, actually I used this guide when it was meant for the upgrade and root for 23 not 24. When I check for updates it tells me that there aren't any even though I know for sure that 24 and 26 are out. What do I do now? I'de like to be ready for the 2.1 upgrade? Can someone please advise? I don't want to lose root when 2.1 comes out then what should be done here?
There is a X10a Latin America Generic that I was using for a while. It doesn't have the automatic APN support so you'll have to set your APN settings manually. I forget where I found it though. This is a generic 026 ROM.
I am currently using the AT&T R2CA016 ROM that I have rooted, decrapified, and re-enabled non-market apps. It seems to the best performance and battery life from all the ROMs I have used. It was pretty amazing what removing the AT&T crap did for the performance of the phone.
The latest from Rogers is 020 no? Therefore.. it wouldn't show any other updates.
I have got my SGS about a week. the 2.1 os gives me so many bugs, and it really slow, compare with my Desire.
So, I thought I could flash it with the rom at xda forum. But my phone couldn't go to download mode or recovery mode....
And I had bought a few paid apps and fonts from market. So, I didn't want to lose them.
Today, I wake up in the morning, and search on the samsung mobile site. I saw the update news at Hong Kong site.
it doesn't matter which site you downloaded your kies installation file from.
Here is the magical way!!:::
(before you do update, remove you sd card if you got one, just in case)
1. launch the installation file(if you have installed already, reinstall it)
2. choose the area/country-----Hong Kong
3. choose any lang you like to install
4. connect your SGS to your computer
5. once your phone connected, KIES will show a notification automatically, it says you got a firmware update.
6. follow the steps, and update..
and enjoy the official 2.2 from samsung.
BTW: my phone just finished the updating 10 mins ago..
it's much faster than 2.1, and not laggy anymore..
it's better to do updating on a 32bit windows os. I tried on my windows 7 64bit, it always shows some error msgs I don't understand.
all the apps and fonts i bought are still there. and also, the emails txt everything still there.. you dont need to do anything.
I will post my feedback with this, if you guys need any help, I will answer your questions. but I think it is very easy and simple.
The total ram on 2.2 shows 304MB.
Everything else works fine so far.

I tried it and it did not work for me.
I'm with Bell in Canada.

The right rom only shows up based on your phones product code. otherwise you will need a registry hack.

If in Northern ireland you should have already got the froyo update on o2 if though in the south I guess that comes under a different european o2. What is your phone version number?
Emexrulsier, hi.
Am in the south of ireland where 02
are miles behind. My phone details are :
Firmware v. 2.1-update 1
Baseband v. I9000xxjf3
Kernel v. 2.6.29
Eclair
if you had any suggestions for a froyo wannabe...

Reads to me like its a new method of updating however its just the old old official method that does not work for many as Kies fails to find phone etc .
If you get Kies to work and find your phone you get the update only if your Network has uploaded the firmware .
jje
I recently flashed a new firmware on my phone and would like to return it to the original firmware that came with the Orange branded phone if thats possible?
Go to the XDA wiki page for the Galaxy S series and download 'New PC Studio' from the link on that page. Install it and you can do a factory reset of your phone.
Otherwise you're gonna have to search wildly through Samfirmwares to find the right ROM.
