Hi,
my X8 doesn't upgrade to 2.1. I rooted the phone, following the procedure and tried severel customization code but nothing to do. SEUS answers that there is no update available for my phone.
Now, my X8 is a protype, it has the following values:
ro.semc.version.cust=20100831161743
ro.semc.version.cust_revision=R1A
Can someone tell me if I can update to 2.1?
What does exactly mean revision=R1A? Is the problem related to the revision and can I update the revision to a new version?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Would you like me to send you the build.prop file I used to upgrade my phone? It should work then.
Edit: Note when I upgraded my phone, I also took the sim out.
I tried with the SIM out with no success.
I going to send you a PM with my email for your build.prop. Thanks a lot.

Hi Guys,
I recently got Xperia X8, and I want to install Android 2.1 so I can use Wireless Tethering. But I can't upgrade my phone. It's not yet due for the 2.1.
Here are some info of my phone that might be helpful:
Model Number - E15i
Firmware - 1.6
Baseband version - unknown
Kernel Version - 2.6.29 / [email protected] #1
Build Number - 1.3.A.0.62
I have tried all four apps/software from this list and none works! =(

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
hi..i buy my x8 1 week ago and i put the 2.3.2 rom..its work very fine..next, with xrecovery, i put the original backup, the 2.1 original backup, and when i plug in the charger in telephone, the phone turns on..why? sorry for my bad english, im portuguese..
It is caused by xrecovery
and no way to fix this problem?? is this normal? thank you
quick solution is by removing xrecovery joking!! hehe yes i hear that theres a solution by [email protected] one of xrecovery file..but dont remember which thread..try to dig this section more deeper
Install latest xRecovery with FlashTool 0.2.8 and it will work, and is the best solution.
thank you all..but latest xrecovery only install with flash tool? no other way?
No other way... but why would that be a proble for you?
it's no a problem, but i like charge my phone offline..i see in other thread or site, if i modify the chargermon file with notepad, the phone charge offline..is this true?? what the code for this?
I believe the answer is covered in this thread

Thanks
thank you I have not tried but should work thanks men
As I already said, simply download FlashTool 0.2.8, click Ask Root Permissions, click xRecovery, and it's solved. You can even reboot to recovery directly without having to press back button, through FlashTool

I have some questions:
in roms of racht, he says it is necessary install the baseband 015..some people says if you dont install this baseband, the rom dont work properly..but i install the rom with baseband 006 and the rom works good, so i dont understand if works, why i need change the baseband, this is my first question..

You can flash the generic UK 2.3.2 firmware without an unlocked bootloader, then do an OTA update to keep root. There are several threads on here about it.
Look for the thread about flashtool, the UK generic and gingerbreak.

thanks for info, i have managed to get in contact with Alejandrissimo i have now ROOTED my phone
hi, first i'll introduce myself..
I'm Lucas Lo Faro, from Buenos Aires, Argentina, I'm a java developer and an Android fan.
i think i'm having a problem with the baseband in my defy plus.
i use to have a defy (with froyo 2.2) and now a i have a defy plus with 2.3.4 and accidentally downgraded it to froyo 2.2 when i flashed the standart sbf of my old phone..
so i read a lot here and finally flashed the famous chinese firmware (2.3.6) to unbrick it..
and then i installed the MS2Ginger 4.0 rom but i cannot get any signal..
My issue is:
when i use the baseband switcher v4.0 i get this error:
"unable to detect your baseband configuration, it's possibly damaged. reset to default?"
so i renamed this directory: system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default
(as i read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1203297)
and used the baseband switcher v4.1 as i read in a post here.. but it still doesn't work..
any ideas?
please help meeee!
thx in advance..
i'm in Argentina and my service provider is Personal..
i don´t know what to do..
i thought it may be some rom incompatibility but it seems i cannot change the rom anymore.. because it would brick again..
thank you!
Stock Sbf
Try flashing the stock sbf again. Then root it, and flash a custom rom..maybe it'll work then

Have you tried to select "Claro" instead of "Personal" yet? remember the baseband switcher doesn't work if you select Personal.
