Sony Ericson left us with updates.
Look: http://www.ptcrb.com/ctiastaff/complete/view_complete_request.cfm?modelid=17877
There was pass one month from last cerficated update i think SE left us or is it plaining one big update?
What do you think?
Nope, probably this is all we'll get for the X8. Still can't believe what a bunch of ass-holes S.E. are.

I won't update because it VERY POSSIBLE THAT SE LOCKS DOWN custom boot.img LOADING!
If that change happens in EROM (loader.sin) then nothing could be done to go back...
I suggest that first we should wait for boot.img loading to be ported to X8...

Flashing back will not help?
I can't really be bothered waiting for another 2.1 update no matter how big or small. It's still 2.1. I couldn't be more happy to see the XDA devs hard at work making 2.2+ for the x8. It's not SE who make the x8 a decent little mid-range phone.
Where phone manufacturers screw their customers, XDA devs pick up the remains and do a better job anyways... on their spare time

Two things can happen:
*New Android update which disables this.
*New EROM which disables bypassing and DRM killing on lower level:
a) new EROM, same AID - EROM is downgradable
b) new EROM, new AID - can't be downgraded at the moment
Basically, don't risk - don't update if any new update comes.
A huge thank you to devs working on roms here.They are doing a great job!!!

The good news now is, they are looking also with MT
SE gave up updating X8, XDA hasn't, and guess what, we got semi-MultiTouch, All from XDA
basically it was SE's strategy to stop updating the old xperia phones so that the new phones can take their place. guys just keep a track in the dev section for more updates in the custom rom arena.. devs r working hard & they r producing super results

We already got 2.3(custom), and when the SE 2.3 will apear on X10, we'll just port it to X8 >

Sorry if this has been asked elsewhere, but I'm wondering if the 2.1 release will allow devs a better chance at effectively getting the X10 fully rooted? Ie: will they be able to see what changes the update is doing and use that to hopefully get us to 2.2?
Man, the most important thing is NOT to root (it is! rooted) the phone, but to crack the bootloader!
Once the loader gets cracked you won't want to root anymore cuz you probably simply use a (pre-rooted) custom ROM.
But IF SE changes anything about the bootloader it will probably be even harder than now to crack it... :-(
Hope the devs will get it one day...!!!

Problem is, not many people have X10 so, not enough devs for good brainstorming.
With less people involved, development is slow compared with other smartphones.

Err I guess thats what I meant. Will we be able to easily crack the bootloader using the update coming out (hopefully this year?)
Can you discuss 2.1 in the existing 2.1 thread
Click Here for more information
I think its not true. What u say ?
SE have already said there will be no more updates to Android for current Xperia models. But new models will have later versions of Android.

No,no. They say that we will have the 2.3 update, and this is a S.E. offical source, now if they don't deliver us the update we can go tu court and sue them for false advertising

Final consideration of the Company
"...the company will focus efforts on its new line of Xperia handsets that come with the most current version of Android 2.3 from the product Xperia (tm) Arc.
The devices that are already in the portfolio company's released so far, will keep the version 2.1 of the Android operating system..."
I believe that the devs will make the new update( like 2.2.1 for x10 )
i think that X10 series will get gingerbread,but X8 won't...
SE is just to lazy to customize the fws which get published of Google -.-

why u think that?
Well, I thinks it's false advertising, they won't update us soon, they insist telling us we won't have further updates. All we depend now are dev's from XDA, and specially those who made this site possible! I really admire you guys. And like many others I lost my trust in SE. Shame on them...
i think that X8 series will get gingerbread by someone.
I've tested Racht's 2.3 CM mod but I can't load it, keeps giving a strange graphic after boot animation :S but, anyway, it's 2.3.1 loading at our phone
I need it so much
I believe that's a fake message. If that's true then why did they skip Froyo ?
Arc will get 2.3 so eventually they add 2.3 to whole Xperia family.
x8 never update to 2.3

Nice, good knowing we will still get updates for at least a little while.
Remember, when reading dates from SE, replace the day with the year, i.e.
March 19 2011 actually means March 11 2019
That way you'll get a much more accurate indication of when you can expect anything to happen
until 2019 there are 7-8 years.

pretty much doubt this.
we might be getting something like an better MT or less chances to root it idk
as some1 said in past posts, we're getting less features than we had
like fb and timescape integration in 1.6 i loved the way it was but now it's crappy (personal opinion)

If timescape could just load up everything say 5 times faster I'd actually probably find it useful. Until then i just keep wiping it from my phone.

Sorry guys. But the Incredible S from HTC has a signed bootloader too. So crying to HTC wont reap you any benefits either.

Actually, if SE manages to get 2.3.3 running as well on our X10's as it's running on the arc, I don't really care. I wan't my phone to "just work", to cite iPhone users. Though I'll of course feel bad for the developers if SE decides to patch it, especially after seeing these major breakthroughs lately.
I don´t want my phone just to work. If the update from SE proves to be a crappy port from Arc count me out. I prefer to have a stable custom rom with little bugs than having a product that is just for show, that doesn´t perform nowhere near the Arc.
If SE is honest and gives us a fully working 2.3.3. very fluid and fast, then X10 will be fighting again with the big dogs.
If this update is just for patching holes and giving more locks then shame on you SE. If this happens and i buy another SE phone then shame on me. =) Although i can´t resist the looks of their models....

like X8 first launching, SE build new kernel & firmware so long
we'll have working camera then this is great!
Back in the spring of earlier this year, Sony Ericsson announced and released the option to unlock the boot loader for 2011 Xperia™ phones. We then moved on to explain how to build your own Linux kernel. As a third step, we have now supported the FreeXperia group. The reason for this is that we firmly believe in the openness of Android™, and we are really impressed by the huge activity shown in our products. By being supportive and open, we hope to both learn from the open community, and also share knowledge when that is possible.

Better late than never I guess, and maybe if S.E had paid attention to the "activity" when the FreeXperia group got started on the X10 the Xperia range would have been a lot more desirable to those who love to mod.
If all the manufacturers don't pay attention to what goes on at XDA development wise, more fool them, as the devs here continue to show up those that actually get paid to do it for a living.
