So even if you have a R800a and flash the 800i image, everything works right?

Yea no problem I did it a while ago, flash the UK generic then root with gingerbreak then when that's done do the ota update and you'll beer on 2.3.3 rooted!

If you use SEUS, it will remove the root, so its your choice really

New firmware on seus.

Just tried using seus to reflash my x8 due to brick. And it says there's new firmware available, anyone tried it? New features? Didn't update incase of loosing root. Used x10 flash instead.

About a week ago i have downgrade to 1.6 (donut)
I just curius about donut because i haven't seen it before.i got my x8 in eclair state.
After i done with it,i use SEUS to upgrade to eclair again.
I have already run SEUS for 2.1update1 so i have the SEUS DB download at my laptop.
When i do the update, SEUS download data about 106mb
before this time it's download about 126mb.
I don't see any difrences after the updates.
just my Model name From x8 changed to e15i
maybe it because i downgrade to donut
There is none.
Maybe thats the 2nd release of 2.1? With ANT+ stuff.
Ok thanks for replys, still rootable then?

He didnt flashed it but someone with generic firmware can try to update if is update real of course.
Well... What's the CDA for Generic World?
1236-9291?
Not sure but i have backup of generic firmware I can check but how i can extract this img files?
Open system.img with aZuZu XPERIA Android Series Kitchen and then go to [ Build Properites Editor] and voila - you'll see the CDA

I think it maybe newer is I was on 2.1.1.0.a.6 when I used seus but like I said I didn't use seus to flash in the end. Ill try it when I get chance.

My experience is that if you update with PCC the baseband won't be ...015, and the build won't be the newest. But with SEUS iit will be. And then you are able to install 2.2 floyo. So I prefer SEUS.

You made 2 topics, wait for a response and I recommend ask questions in xplay general forums

Do I need to unlock my bootloader to use autoroot?
How I wish this update would be done via OTA..
main reason for me is I don't want to lose root and to I don't want to flash also because restoring 14gb+ of data will be a lot of work for me.. I'm thinking not to use titanium backup instead I will just copy all my sd card files to my PC as a backup file.. But I fear that if i return all my files back to sd card after update some apps/games might not work properly.
autoroot would be a great idea though, but I don't trust the guy who said it.. I think felix is just boosting his post count by lurking around this forum, giving incomplete details, always saying "there is already thread about that", and other non sense post just to boost his post count.. No pun intended felix..
I think many/most people with a locked bootloader are waiting for the ota (myself included). The ota for the arc xloud update came a while after it arrived on Pc Companion/SEUS so i guess it just a waiting game now for when it arrives.

Im not sure myself since i also have the play but i think it was a few weeks. I just noticed a similar discussion on the arc forum (about if they will loose root) and a few weeks later people were getting the update over ota. But like the last update not every country has had the ota update yet only some.
OTA update 4.0.A.2.368 available + remain rooted (arc)
got the update via OTA today! (Philippines)
and i managed to preserve root!
Yey!
I got the ota update last night. UK generic version

Thats how i did it anyway,you dont need unlocked B00TLoader to use FlashTooL so maybe try that?It may not work though and pretty risky too
I read somewhere you don't need unlocked bootloader to use flashtool but if you try to flash custom kernel via flashtool you need an unlocked bootloader....
I tried ota (uk generic) today but after download I get 'could not install software' error.

Please be gentle. X10a question

Ok I am a complete noob when it comes to this phone stuff. I have an AT&T X10a running on a straight talk sim.
I am running
firmware version: 2.1-update 1
Baseband version: 2.1.65
Kernel vesion: 2.6.29
build number: 2.1.A.0.492
I am trying to debrand the phone and clean it up and make it faster. I have been reading for the last 9 hours and all I have been able to do is root it, and install xrecovery and busybox. Can anyone tell me what I am missing?
Thank you for reading and giving me some help
You have to flash a generic firmware with FlashTool onto it and it'll be debranded.
I can't post links with the xda app atm but all you need is in the X10 Android Development section.

WOW!!!
That has to be some of the quickest answers I have ever gotten on a forum. Thank you I will go look there again.
Just came on a minute after you posted and I knew the answer. So I answered you
Btw, when you're still on 2.1 you can also flash a pre-rooted generic 2.3.3 ROM.

Has anyone got a mirror for 4.0.2.A.62?
I've searched the site but the only one that I can find is this Rapid**** one which won't download for me. Just stalls after a random amount of MB. Not sure why. Have tried it off three different net connections.
There will be thanks if you can mirror
EDIT; well wouldn't you know pretty much as soon as I had posted, I found one...
Here it is for others who may be searching..
