Maybe the update hasn't arrived yet in your country. There are many others who are still running 1.6 in their X8s.
Or...
You can root and install latest stock firmware which you can download from the X8 android development section, but why stay in 2.1 when can go to 2.2 or 2.3 ?

Ok, don't think this has been asked before, but if it has - firstly very sorry and secondly I just can't find a clear answer!
- What do you need to be running to be able to receive and install the official 2.2 update when released on an O2 locked Streak?
Since buying my Streak I have subsequently upgraded from the official 1.6 to Steves 2.2 v 1.1 possibly 1.1.1, I'm guessing I have changed the baseband as I don't recall what it was originally (currently 20321-EU and the kernal is 2.6.32.9)
I'm guessing I will need to downgrade to an old official version of Android but what too, and with what baseband?
Thanks in advance fellow Streakers

2.1 official update 8105 + stock recovery base band 21-eu
Since nobody has actually been able to try it yet, nobody can say for sure what you'll need except that it needs to be unlocked v00 to get the earliest release.

This stock recovery baseband you talk about is that what I'm currently running - 20321-EU???
That's the O2 baseband, your update will be in December with the rest of us.

So does that mean I will still receive the OTA update without having to downgrade to 2.1 or 1.6 even with all the unofficial upgrades I've done???

as i mention in first post its 2.1 not 2.2 you have to downgrade it to 2.1 official
Hi first of all I want to say that i know there is a lot of threads about this but there are so many that i don´t know what to do any further so I am starting a new thread.
I have a galaxy S and wanted to update from Android 2.1 to Android 2.2 but i have been waiting and waiting and Kies always says there are not other updates.
I tried a older verision and the newest one but Kies still doesn´t let me upgrade.
Ive read a lot of threads and saw that it seems like the only way is to do it by using Odin. I read a bite in the big thread about this but i was thinking about one thing and that was if there is any better verision of flash now when android 2.2 has been out for so long? Could anyone please link me to wich files is at the moment best to use for upgradring to 2.2.
My other question is can i go from 2.1 to 2.3 directly or will this cause some problems? Is 2.3 officialy out or only in beta?
I have a swedish samsung galaxy S and verision PDA JM2 /PHONE JM1 and its not rooted. Please let me know if you need any more information.
Thanks a lot for the answers.
I suggest you wait Kies should soon have the official 2.3.3 firmware update .
That dont appear you can try alternative methods .

Hi in the FAQ u linked it´s a lot of info but nothing that i am searching for.
I really don´t believe in kies anymore because that program is the worst thing made.
Is there any realease date for the new KIES and has it been said that its going to fix bugs that prevents people from upgradring to 2.2?
I am thinking about going for darkys room for gingerbread verision but i don´t know if i can still be on 2.1 verision to upgrade to the newest verision.
Can also anyone answer on this question.. under programverision in the menu it says [email protected] what does that mean? Does it have anything to do with it being a swedish verision?
2.3.3 is not released so Kies cannot update something that does not exist on its servers .
Current methods of updating to unofficial 2.3.3 are all over the forum update via Odin non official firmware .
I am thinking about going for darkys room for gingerbread verision but i don´t know if i can still be on 2.1 verision to upgrade to the newest verision.

has anyone heard anything new about getting these new SE updates onto out phones that cannot update OTA or with PC Companion?
The update is available for me but i cant get it because im using FTS V05 with unlocked bootloader and rooted.
It just keeps saying my phone is up to date
how do you know if the update is available for you?
If it was available then it would say "update phone"
no it wouldnt because im not using official rom and can not get update OTA or using SE software. i have to flash it myself. When you go on their website and update section for our phone it says there is s new update (xLoud etc) and i rang SE and said i should be able to update using PC Companion (I obviously didnt tell them i have unlocked bootloader etc)
i noticed this on the x10 section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201729
anyone know if this would work on our phone? scred to try it lol
what country are you in and which firmware are you using?
im from Northern Ireland and my phone is:
Model: R800i
Version: 2.3.3
Build: 3.0.1.A.0.145
Sooooo, like alot of people here that either couldn't wait or didn't think we were getting the update, I flashed my x10a with a generic firmware(now an x10i). I believe my original region code was 1233-6929. My question is, how would I go about putting the official firmware back on? I've searched and can't seem to find out how to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
According to this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186045
1233-6929 has been updated to 2.3. There is no need to go back to 2.1.
Did you not make a backup of the 2.1 ROM with xrecovery before you flashed 2.3?
Why do I get that feeling that I'm going to kick myself in the butt for not doing that? Anyway, I should have added the fact that I am currently on a generic gingerbread firmware but would like to know how to put the official update on my phone?
No, no you're fine unless you absolutely need to go back to Eclair.

Flash the 2.3 firmware for X10a with the flashtool. I've got to tell you, all the 2.3 upgrade has the same build number (3.0.1.G.0.75) and the firmware you are currently on is no different, except what the "model number" says on phone's property.
You can try updating the firmware through SEUS or PC Companion, but there will be no difference.....
Alright, thanks for the info. Looks like the owner of the thread you linked here doesn't have all the x10a kits added yet (which I'm assuming includes the Rogers one I mentioned) so I may have to wait for a bit before it's available for download so that I can use it with flashtool? The only reason why I want to go with the official update is because I've had a few glitches with the generic one I currently have. Every once in a while I get some error messages pop up on the screen, one that I can recall is "failed to create media transport" and some other ones. Plus if I ever plan on selling the phone, it probably would be best if it had the official update on it (just itching to get the galaxy s2).
i was wondering if any one can help in getting the original t-mobile 2.3 update for my phone, the phone was rooted but it kept turning itself off so i flashed it with a 2.2.1 android t-mobile version i found on here, all i would like to do is try and get a 2.3 version on the phone...any help be great....thanks
