I have a X10a on Rogers rooted with Universal Androot (one click solution).
Problem is Rogers is slow as molasses and still on R2BA020.
Can I flash my firmware with another regions stock R2BA026 and then re-use Universal Androot?
I don't want one of these hacked firmwares that you have to do 30 different fixes to get everything working.
Cheers
use debrand method with seus to update to generic x10a 026. then one click root again. piece of cake.

If you want the update to 026 and root as well use this:

It is very easy with no problems.
I have an X10 I bought that was with Rogers. I unlocked it and I am using it with Telus.
Since the provider itself is supposed to supply updates, and since Telus doesn't have the X10, how am I supposed to get them?
Thanks guys
Load an X10a generic Rom. You should still get the update.

I also I'm using a Rogers X10 that I unlocked and rooted using the following guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711907, actually I used this guide when it was meant for the upgrade and root for 23 not 24. When I check for updates it tells me that there aren't any even though I know for sure that 24 and 26 are out. What do I do now? I'de like to be ready for the 2.1 upgrade? Can someone please advise? I don't want to lose root when 2.1 comes out then what should be done here?
There is a X10a Latin America Generic that I was using for a while. It doesn't have the automatic APN support so you'll have to set your APN settings manually. I forget where I found it though. This is a generic 026 ROM.
I am currently using the AT&T R2CA016 ROM that I have rooted, decrapified, and re-enabled non-market apps. It seems to the best performance and battery life from all the ROMs I have used. It was pretty amazing what removing the AT&T crap did for the performance of the phone.
The latest from Rogers is 020 no? Therefore.. it wouldn't show any other updates.
I have a stock Rogers play and now that the OTA update is available was wondering what's the best way to get root and then update. I want to freeze delete most of the boat to speed it up a bit, while leaving the option to revert back to the rogers fw in the future.
Also I was wondering if anyone can recommend a sim unlocker, would be nice to use other providers when I'm not around home.
Sorry for the questions if they're pretty basic but this is my first smartphone and just starting to play around.
Hi there,
I have the same question about rooting.
but as far as unlocking ur sim code, I did it last week from a website. really easy. u pay $20 and they give u a code. the code is needed when another simcard other than rogers is inserted.
I used this website: mobileincanada.com
there is cheaper ones i.e. $16 but I am not sure if they actually work or no. I tried this one and it works and they have a good customer service so its best if u try them. cheers
Root 2.3.2 and then you update to 2.3.3 though phone. Simple as that, only after its 2.3.3,you remove the boats

When you say 'boat' ....? are you refering to Bloatware?

Wait, if the phone comes with boats, can I use it in the bath tub without a problem? That is an AWESOME feature, idk why you would wanna remove it.
My Xplay came from rogers canada also, but Im using it here in philippines, I unlocked it using cellphoneunlocker.net to have the unlock codes.. And they only charge it 8$..
It is originally 2.3.2 then i rooted it, deleted some bloatware, then when the 2.3.3 update comes out I used this instruction to have a 2.3.3 rooted Xplay http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116090
But after update I fail to recover some apps, maybe because the backup app that i used is not titanium backup w/c is the advisabe one.. I didn't use that eventhough I have it is because i dunno how to used it to backup my files. Until now..
So i just install those app all over again..
@brochador And how is that the easy way?
@caissie, pls. read carefully then comprehend..
Ok, I'm quite new to the forums and want to say hi first.
So here is my question.
I wanted to root my phone so I flashed it with UK generic 2.3.2 with flashtool and then rooted it with gingerbreak. And then updated to 2.3.3 ota. Now when I'm checking for the new 2.3.4 I can't find it.
Is there any problem that I live in a Nordic country? Or is it just that my carrier hasn't released it?
Sincerely

Welcome ,
Most likely your carrier hasnt released it yet
If your impatient,you can visit this thread to get 2.3.4 and root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1274634
I cannot actually root at the moment because the last month the Gingerbreak root exploit was fixed and I am unable to use the boot loader because I'm on Rogers here in Canada, right?
You can install the 2.3.2 UK non-generic firmware via flashtool, root your phone with gingerbreak, update to OTA 2.3.3
That or unlock your phone here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232050
which is unlock your bootloader and your SIM. From there you can update to the Nordic 2.3.4 and root it via recovery.
Im a Canadian Xperia play user with a Rogers Xperia play, unbranded, unlocked bootloader and unlocked SIM and using a Bells SIM card. Currently running 2.3.4
Flash it to generic uk version 2.3.2 then root it and ota update it to the newest version.
I'm with rogers too, they made the boot up long...

Wow. That's quite the process. I may as well have had like three heart attacks in the last hour, I didn't realize it would take two minutes to boot, so I figured I had messed up -_-
I can't wait to update, currently I am rooting, thanks a lot guys I was getting tired of running into walls!

If you can unlock bootloader, cm7 takes 28 seconds to boot. Doesn't take much longer to boot even if you clear the dalvik cache

I've tried two versions of Gingerbreak and they don't seem to be rooting
Infact it keeps unmounting my sd card..
Gingerbreak can potentially take a very long time, and unmounting of the sd card is actually a part of the process

Will this process work with my VZW play?

Have u tried updating to 2. 3. 4. I'm interested in trying it but risky with the Rogers policy crap.

Use the na gereric not the uk version
Gingerbreak is REALLY funny. I've done this a few times, and it never seems to go the same way twice.
Once after 20 minutes I gave up, went in and manually mounted my SD Card through the settings option - phone rebooted and was rooted almost immediately
(not recommending you do that, but sometimes the smallest things make a dif, like formatting your SD Card from the phone itself first)

Any NA generic for 2.3.2 out there to gingerbreak?
So, this stuff is bonkers. I'm happy I saw monkey mentioned that the unmounting is what it does, because I was able to root on my bus ride home. Currently OTAing right now.
The Rogers Xperia play is no less hackable than any unbranded Play

Sorry mate the R800x model is a bit different in that matter. Check out the development section on how to unlock and root
And you can't flash the Uk nor the Nordic firmwares it deosen't work, you'll also need to do some tweaking aswell. I think thre's some threads floating around on how to get those FW's working on the R800x model.
Regards Dousan...
e: check this thread out on how to make the UK FW working:

Interesting. So it looks like I need their special client to flash to 2.3.2 US Generic. Unless there's a FTF out there..
Also, from what I read, it doesn't offer OTA to 2.3.3, so that kinda sucks.
It does. I have a rogers play and i used wantonserver to flash 2.3.2 na , root, ota update
The software and the credits are free, everything is super easy and they have the firmware for pretty much every region from 2.3.2 fw to 2.3.4
