Surely it not. It've just released. Dev will need time in order to root it.
Plz wait.

Any changes you notice...

its alot slicker than 020 for sure

It is said that the 026 has better speed in Mediascape and Timescape, but i've tried yet, cuz my company wifi is down, haiz.
There is no big change in this new FW as I notice, the baseband is 31 now

wifi radio is better tho aswell

here in Ireland ive got update to 026 as well and no root after update.

Think ill stick with Rooted 024 for now

is the update ota?

How did you guys update if your phone was rooted? I know it will lose the root, but how did you update in the first place?

Thats strange, I'm on rooted 024 on O2 here in the UK, if I do an OTA check, it says im on the latest firwamre, did yuo guys update using SEUS?
Bloke

Flash back to a Generic firmware, using Omnius or whatever. Then use SEUS

Rooted fone will be able going back to original one by redo the step1 (back to 016 FW) after that, OTA or SEUS is depend on your choice

Im on R2BA020 from the southwest of the uk and both OTA and SEUS arent showing an update yet

I'm not rooted and using FW016 and SEUS says my phone is up to date. Am u doing something wrong?

SW Update on Vodafone

Woke up this morning to find a notification saying that an update is available, however unlike 024 that I could do OTA this one says I need to connect to a PC. Is this 026 or something else??

build number R2BA024.... no change? it acted as if it was flashing but upon restart, all i got different was a notification that Vodaphone 360 has an update, which i declined... lol
edit: and now i have an application in my draw called 360 Updates i opened it and it takes me to an install screen for vodafone 360.
how dissapointing!

Think I might not bother if thats what it is. Nice one.

Wonder if it is R2BA027 or R2BA028. Maybe it is to correct the WiFi bug that some have been experiencing.

Nope, as I said, I already update that file, same base band and FW ver 026. I think it is just some small update for fixing bugs. I hope that it is a incall volume fix but it seem isn't

Vodafone 151MB update via Update Service on PC...
Not too sure what this update is all about, am still trying to figure it out, I was on 024, it still says 024...WTH

nothing showing here ........ I unbranded originally from 014 voda branded to 016 uk generic unbranded ..I'm now upto Baseband 1.1.31 and firmware R2BA026 from a couple of days agos update not sure if this is most recent but not offering anything OTA or via SEUS either !?
Ive not seen the WIFI dropout issue with mine as yet so dont know If I maby got an after that bugged release fixed version?!

Giggle..
People just calm down, and stop blowing your own mind regarding FW updates. I'll rather dicuss when our OS get updatet to 2.1 etc later this month or end of September. And i got my hands on a test version for the X10i. So you can all soon been awaiting it on OTA or thru SEUS tools.
Enjoy.

@FRAPSROOTET
if u have da test version of 2.1 can u pls show a few pics or a video..pls can u do tht

@FRAPSROOTET
Why bother posting in the thread if its not related to the OP topic?!
@vickysud theres a thread on 2.1 already on the forum please use that for discussion or start a new thread asking FRAPSROOTET directly please!

@All who are confused... The OTA version of the builds is a patch version which downloads only the bits that need to change.. the SEUS or PCC version downloads the complete file and in my experience the SEUS version was actually a bit slicker.

Dont update if SEUS show you NEW update for X10i because....

Did you install the DT update? If so, you will be prompted that an update is available. If you do it, it will install the same ROM but you will lose ROOT and DT.
If you load back the original kernel.sin file from the .024 Global NAM firmware and run SEUS again, it will tell you have the latest software.
So dont update now by SEUS

flash kernal.sin is better because SEUS remove root access

There arent any update for mine :S

Can't confirm.
No update yet.

From Chile, no update available using generic firmware. 024

In Italy is not aviable

Wasn't available in Uruguay through PCC 2 hours ago before i took it to the service. Will have it back on Monday, hope the update is available and rooted by then.

Does this update change anything besides adding MT feature and removing JIT and root? Because I already implemented this onto .024 with Bin4rY's method.
So, anything new besides MT? I don't think SE released a changelog, right? They never do...

Dualtouch in browser and google maps, isn't that enough for you??

I'm curious as to why SE even produced a X10a.
AT&T X10 hasn't even received a 2.1 update yet while the rest of the globe is on their third.

Could still be other software fixes! And i would like to know aswell, is there anything different from .24 besides DT? Cheers

Well safe bet is that this update also brings DT support for mediascape, browser, and all phone generally.

In a video i saw from some asian site they had implemented the one finger zoom in MS, anyone with DT addon that can try? Just press and hold on an image for a sec and try swiping up or down

in-call volume any better?

hrmmz i did the flash update for dt or mt but i do not see a difference, i download multitouch tester app and i do touch twice and get a 1 and 2 and i can pinch spread etc.. so im assuming it works, on home screen i can pinch in and all three home screens will appear as smaller windows kinda like the browser pages do. So is this the dual touch we expect?? I notice no difference in browsers.

I just checked SEUS running CDA 1234-4820 X10a 2.0.2.A.0.24 and there IS and update. I did not update until someone can confirm that we can root the new update?
I can NOT confirm if this for DT or not.

Singapore, New Update Available.

Hi All,
Just saw on my phone X10i that some new update is available..
Is it for MT or something else?
Also can u plz confirm if I will update:
1. I cannot root after that??
2. All installed apps/games will be gonne??

What firmware do you have right now?
If it's the DT update then it won't delete any of your apps or anything. Also people have been able to root the latest firmwares using either SuperOneClick or the flash tool.
By the way, all of these questions have been answered many times already on this forum.

X10 has no multitouch -_-
There was a pinch-to-zoom update during Chinese New Year. And there hasn't been any updates after that. So I have no idea what this current update you claim is all about

just go with the .435 firmware.... i'm also from singapore and that firmware works well with singtel networks.... i assume it should work the same with M1 and starhub....
notice that the sms subsystem is quite flaky.... in a sense that it cant handle a large amount of sms... (like maybe 2000sms) and when my friend sends like 2 or 3 sms to me, the phone just hands for like 10s before being able to display the smses.... kinda very bad....

now going for MT !!

Z4 Root doesn't work anymore for a.0.24 and follows Try flashtool 0.2.6 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746 It's very easy and no danger. I had the same problem!

Way to ignore my post (first response in your thread) which answers all your questions......
Not sure why you were downgraded to .204 though. Use flashtool to get the latest firmware.

from what i know, there are 2 types of X10i in SG.. one of them has been branded by SingTel.. which does not have dual-touch, long sms, and very laggy even if u update it by the SEMC Update Service software.. u have to flash it by an alternate methods which u can find in this forum...

the generic ones are already on 184 yours will be customized our small update was about 16mb i think

after messing on some games, Backstab & Asphalt
I'm sure there running a lot better with more FPS especially Backstab
BTW Waz, do you know if I'm safe to root my play?
its sim locked to orange but no orange logo on the back like there was on my desire
Thx

yeah though the safest way (same way im doing it) is with gingerbrick, leave the bootloader locked and just root it that way.

I already had that version when got my play

as long as your bootloader is locked and you rooted with gingerbrick your ok to update

What were the changes from xx.181 to xx.184? I updated mine but not noticed anything apart from a bit more slowdown?

Does this update block gingerbreak in any way? I'm not rooted yet, and I don't want to lose the ability to root (just haven't had the time to root it yet) after doing this update.

no it doesn't

What if you used Titanium Backup or some other freeze program to freeze apps like Timescape and other bloatware. Do they need to all be restored before the update?

@waz can you still boot after using gingerbrick
And who makes such an app anyways
I would go for gingerbreak lol
