SE X10i Android 2.1 ROM?

Hi, guys
One guy at another forum uploaded package for EMMA and he says that it's Android 2.1 for X10
here is link for that package/rom: http://www21.zippyshare.com/v/64881864/file.html
he also provided a screenshot: http://dl.4pda.ru/forum/dl/post/663738/IMAG0043.jpg
is it really android 2.1? and if it is, how to flash device with it?
thanks

well its an esa file, i opened it with winrar and was able extract another file from it but this file has no extention.. so im not sure what to do with it now

well I see it is on Russian language,I think you need EMMA for flashing,wait for few more days till real update will be released,if we could wait 6 months few more days is not a problem,well at least not for me

Do you have a link to said site?

Wow... speechless hope this works

Can we keep discussion of the 2.1 update in the 2.1 thread. its right there at the top of the forum

xperia x10a Update 2.1!

Guys i recived a tweet from SE Chile, well at least SE LAM saying the firmware was ready to update from all xperia x10a unbranded, now i need to know , if the 026 generic for x10a will update inmediatlly or i'll have to modify the build.prop with some numbers, in the moment i get 2.1 will decrypt the rom , and upload it... so if you can help me a little would be apriciated.
Regards

Have you tried SEUS and see if an update is available?
Hope we have a decrypted X10a ROM soon.

trying now, i almost brick my phone downgrading, you all guys should downgrade to a x10i version, i got that by using the 026 LAM , and almost get stuck :S
well bricked again T_T... i think its because when i use the new flash tool, it try to load the kernel but skip it, in the old firmwares never had a kernel.sin
any ideas?

You need to flash to 1.6 using the old flash tool. The new one isn't capable of flashing back to 1.6 as there was some changes that had to be made to make it work with 2.1 that made it incompatible with 1.6 for the moment.
Cheers, Brett

yep, thanks, i thought that so, i already started to flash again with an old flashtool , we'll see what happend

It's supose that the actualization is via PC companion, well i can't even make it rapair my phone..., beside that it keeps teling me that i have the lastest software, but in SE say that they release it... now, when the nordic firmware came up, they modified the build.prop with some especific numbers, if some one knows about that, could tell how to get the rights numbers... or were did they get them before the actualization?
Regards...

amss.sin
boot.sin
dsp1.sin
system.sin
there are some files with 1.4mb but I d't know how to recognize them
I will start do zip the archives and send to a sharepoint
tks

I am running the GLOBAL 2.1 ROM. If anyone wants to go to this Generic Brazil X10a, just use the default.prop method to change to 1234-4836.
Run SEUS and reinstall. It works.

no TIM logo, it shows SE logo. So it could be Generic LAM FW, but in the customer-region list says 1234-4836 is a TIM. i'm not sure but it's not important

Your's Octavius

A quick peek into the Development forum and you'll see plenty of ROMs that may fit your taste.

I think all the ROMs are generic, just for a different region. What exactly are you looking for in the generic ROM?

I think he means generic, unbranded firmware in sin format - there are some on Omnius download area but it's 1.6 and can't be upgraded to latest versions in my case...
So, he probably requests unbranded generic FW 2.0.2 or 2.1.1 - am I right?

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

questions about basebands and roms

hi..i buy my x8 2 weeks ago and and I have some questions:
