I've searched around the forum and can't find anything so I figured I'd just ask.
I ran SEUS and it says there is an update available, and the first time it downloaded a 133 MB file, but i didn't notice anything different when I rebooted the phone. Now it keeps telling me there is an update available, but it doesn't seem to download anything and the update doesn't seem to do anything either.
Anyone have this happen or know the thread where it may have been addressed before?
[UPDATE I actually found some other users in the Update 1.6 by country thread so I'm just going to post there from now on. I don't know why I didn't think of looking in there. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717818&page=30 ]
You need to give us some information about the update and current version you have FW.
Seus has never found an update for my phone. I've manually upgraded firmware twice and currently using ver R2BA024.
Does Seus allow update by country? Has anyone in Australia gotten update through Seus?
I have. When I plugged my X10 in it and I pressed the Update button it told me there is a newer version available.

I'm on the stock AT&T firmware. I just got the phone last week.
I am assuming that you don't know where to read the firmware version.
Push the left button on your phone while you are on the main screen(no lock)
select "settings" and then go all the way down to the end and select "About Phone" and read the last number which is says "Build Number"
The page you are actually on has the least information about your phone.
I am aware that there was an update for ATT last to couple weeks ago but sometimes SEUS goes crazy and notify you when there is none. Your phone probably is branded "means that att has locked it" and you may want to unbrand it (you can search the development section for that) you can also root to get access to all the programs if you need to uninstall them.
Unfortunately Android 2.1 is not out for this phone as of now but it will be. They will first release for unbranded phone (this is what they have told us) and then branded later this year. It may take sometimes for ATT to update but if you wait you can flash a different one when its available on this forum later.
I hope I could help you a bit.

And I assumed you would know that the stock AT&T FW version was 1.6 and the build number is R2CA016 which I thought was common knowledge and is why I didn't initially post it. I guess both of our assumptions were wrong.
I know my way around android and I already knew everything you posted. None of which answers my question except for the part about SEUS going "crazy". I didn't want to even try doing a full root and going to a different build until after the 2.1 update. I've used SWM to load the x10 root app so I could use Titanium to remove the at&t crapware already. I'm sorry if this sounds rude, but I'm not a noob and 90% of your post was made with the assumption I was.
I've been following all of the 2.1 update threads and I wasn't even considering it was the 2.1 update. I just wasn't sure what it COULD have been since I also couldn't find any kind of update history either.

I just recently picked up a dell streak. It's brand new with what I'm guessing it the latest shipped rom which is build number 15274 running android version 2.2.2
All I see is custom roms and reflashing back to other roms to root....blah blah blah...is there a way to just root my current rom and not have to flash a completely new one? I'm all for supporting the community, I'd just like to keep this as device as clean as possible and remove all the bloatware.

Download SuperOneClick v1.5.5 and root away. Dont forget to put your phone into USB debugging mode before rooting, its very important that you do that. Or just follow the steps in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925853 good luck.
Wow thanks, I totally skipped over that post!!! I guess from what I was reading I was expecting the whole process to be a lot more complicated.
Thanks a ton!

How come Dell don't push out the 2.2.2 version OTA to their customers?
I check for updates every day, but have just once received any. (2.2)
Their way of saying; "we just don't give a f*ck about our customers"?
You should have gotten that update weeks ago. It's been OTA for probably about a month now. And I don't know how much you've read, but a lot of what happened with not updating from 1.6 was probably AT&T's fault because they wouldn't okay the build (speculated). Dell had the source up for 2.2 for a long time, if I remember correctly.
I'm on unlocked stock EU ROM since day one. Just to clarify.
Do you mean the 2.2.2 was shipped OTA, for EU users too?
Ohhh. Didn't notice you were on EU. I don't know if Dell released one for EU yet (probably hasn't since you don't have the option to OTA). Just remember that it's not just the phone maker responsible for updates, the carrier has some say in it, too. Are you still on 1.6? Because you could always try out DJ Steve's ROM if you wanted to try something different.
No, the one OTA update I received, was the 1.6 --> 2.2 on last October.
Since then - nothing. I guess it's only in America people get the 2.2.2.
Thanx for taking time to reply.
No problem, haha. I hope you get it soon
I really want the update to, I'm in the Uk and I'm still on 2.2, I would do it myself but its just to complicated and don't wanna mess up my phone. Has anyone in the Uk got the 2.2.2 upgrade? And to be honest I really wont the 2.3 upgrade, but seeing as we still don't have the 2.2.2 upgrade, I think we'll be waiting a long time :'(
2.2.2?
If someone updated from 1.6, to the "non official" 2.2, is there any difference between it and 2.2.2?
2.2.2 is supposedly immune to the malware loaded from the 50 or so infested apps that Google removed recently from the market.
I am trying to unlock my x10a locked to ATT, I purchased the unlocking code but it seems that mi unlocking code cannot be found on the unlocking server.
They offered me the unlocking software which requires to be running android 2.1.
So the deal is that I don’t know what is the version that the cel is running, I will think is not 2.1, but I don’t know how to tell, so how can I update the cel to android 2.1 on a locked phone.
BTW I don’t have any ATT sim
PLS help!!!
flashtool will probably still work!

Does your lockscreen have and arc you have to swipe or a straight line at the bottom to unlock (like iPhone)?
If you have the arc swipe to leave lockscreen then you're on 1.6.
If you got the straight swipe line, then your on 2.1.
You can check your Android version by going to:
Settings>About Phone
And check what it says in the Firmware version field.
Yes I have the Arc so I'm on 1.6
I can't go to setting I can only do an emergency call.

Ahh yea the AT&T restrictions. Forgot about those, on generic firmwares you can boot up without a SIM in the phone.
Well you just have to flash a generic X10a firmware with FlashTool then.
To be safe get the X10a (2.0.A.0.504) firmware.
Not confirmed this myself, but I think going from 1.6 to 2.1 requires you initially flash 2.0.A.0.504 before any other 2.1 firmware (But I'm really not certain about this, so this is just a safety precaution on my part).
This can all be found in the FlashTool thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
Then just flash that and then you'll be ready for your cable unlock.
Is there a matrix of FW releases??

Why flash old 2.0.A.0.504 firmware without dualtouch?
Here's a step by step guide for AT&T X10a users to update to the most recent global generic 2.1.A.0.435 firmware, which has dualtouch and will be certain to get the official 2.3.3 Gingerbread update directly from SE when available.

Told him to flash that because I remember someone long ago said that going from 1.6 to the latest 2.1 could cause problems. But was not certain on that so better safe than sorry. And either way he will be able to get 2.3 on 2.0.A.0.504 just aswell as on 2.1.A.0.435. This was just so he could get the device unlocked in the safest possible way I could recommend. He can always just connect the X10 to SEUS after he has unlocked, and then it will update him to the latest 2.1.A.0.435

On x10unlocked.com it says that I shouldn't have a custom firmware installed.
That's the software the company provided me with.
Please advice
Am i missing something here, but wont pc companion or seus put everyone on the latest official 2.1 version from se with no problems
Then he can unlock easy with flashtool.
Edit
So, download seus or pc companion from se website, instal and follow the instructions. You don't even have to be able to turn the phone on for it to work

Not any kit. If you want the bloatware branded ATT 2.1 firmware that limits data speeds and blocks apps from unknown sources. Also, most branded kits will not be getting the Gingerbread update.
What i seem to think his problem is is that he cant unlock on SETool because he is on 1.6 and that only works with stock 2.1
So he needs 2.1 on his phone which he is struggling with.
So, use official means to upgrade to the official 2.1, unlock using SETool, then use flashtool to root, install recovery and flash any firmware or custom rom he wants.
Why the worry about dual touch drivers etc etc.....once its rooted you can get rid of bloatware, easily flash generic firmware and receive 2.3 update....
I am confused as to why this poses a problem.

Enabling apps from unknown sources isn't as easy as rooting with ATT. Also, data is throttled down to 3G.
You even suggest flashing generic after updating via SEUS or PCC. Why add all these extra steps? This is xda. You can accomplish everything with global generic 2.1.A.0.435 firmware in about 5 minutes with the flash tool.
Well What I did was use Sony Ericsson Update Service, when I connected the phone it told me that there is a newer version so it updated it to firmware version 2.1-update1. So I was able to unlock the phone using multi unlock. Now to get the latest firmware which I understood it is 2.1.A.0.435 with Flash Tool.
Can I go straight from 2.1-update1 to 2.1.A.0.435?
And a last question a generic firmware means that I won’t have all those useless ATT apps on my phone?
Thanks for the help

Yea a generic firmware is one without any branded apps, special setup or limited features.
The latest generic was released for the German generic kits an has build version 2.1.B.0.1. You can find it in my signature.
What do you mean by German generic kits?
I apologize to be a pain but I just getting in the android world.

All Sony Ericsson devices is sold in different regions and has a region specific code. That code determines if your region is eligible for an update (Sony Ericsson rolls out their updates in regions).
Some regions gets updates that others don't get, that's the case with the 2.1.B.0.1, this firmware was only released to the German "kits".
Not a pain at all, we all have to start somewhere
Ok then I will go to 2.1.B.0.1, hopefully I won’t screw up my phone since this is the first time doing this
Hi, i just ordered an xperia arc s,bafter telling myself ill never buy a non google experience phone due to update issues with non google phones, cos the arc s just looks so nice and distinguished. So now i have a question about how updates work.
As far as i know from experience, updates are carrier based. For example i had a lg optimus before this, and its european version was slightly lagging behind with bug fix updates than my us carrier version, and short of custom rom, there was no way to oficially update the software to eu version.
With the arc s, my phone is unlocked, internstional version, bought off amazon. As far as i can tell its similar to the ones SE sells on its website which arent locked to any specific carrier. How do the updates on these official carrier free sim unlocked phones work? Are they quicker since they are not carrier dependent? Or are they on European schedule since this is an european phone? Im looking forward to ics and hope i get it soon,bso if someone could educate me id appreciate it..
Non carrier phones get it faster than branded ones.
ICS will come in April to Arc (S)

Ive read guide upon guide of flashing different firmware, but for the life of me just can never figure it out. So for now im staying away fromm it. I actually think sonys android skin is pretty nice. Once sony leaves behind the device from updates then sure ill flash a different firmware, for now though the convenience of ota uodates, which are available for official firmwares but not for hacked ones, is too much to give up.
There's nothing wrong with the se skin, I prefer modded stock roms to miui/cm7. The branding is from the carrier, but if yours is a generic rom then there shouldn't be much to remove. Mines was sim-free but there are still delays to updates region-wise, which is why I unlocked my bootloader. Flashing roms is pretty straightforward once you have flashtool/fastboot/cwm.

So i just received my phone in canada (Lt18i), the international version, since im not using it in canada, its a gift for someone in europe. The box was sealed when i got it, and it said for sale in france, and it has a bunch of crap installed apps like canal+, warnervod, etc. does this mean this is specific to some carrier and thu would have carrier dependent updates? I was really hoping since it unlocked i wouldnt have all this junk on it. Itmdoesnt have any references though to any carrier in the documentation, neither does it have any carrier specific apps i can see. The version on it is 0.42 and it says no updates available. I did read about some 0.62 version out there.
So i have a few questions off topic:
- can i remove the crapware without rooting my phone? I tried es explorer but it tells me uninstll not successful for those apps.
- i did a factory reset the first time, and now the default pictures thwt came with it to show off the beautiful screen are also gone. I found the default ringtones and notificwtion by searching but have not found the default pics. Anybody got a source as to where to find these?
- if i want to stick with the sony software and sony updates, what is the downside of rooting my phone just to delete those bad apps? I read somewhere i lose ota update absility? True? Also can i root, delete the apps, and then unroot?
- what is the difference between simply rooting the device, and unlocking the bootloader, i thought they were both the same
Thanks

You do NOT lose OTA update abilities as long as you don't modify any system apps/files. e.g. notifications bar, battery indicator, etc.
Updates are based on whatever firmware you have on the phone.
e.g. I flashed my Rogers arc to a generic USA firmware. It typically gets updated 2-3 weeks before Rogers since they have to do their customization to it. Similarly, users will flash an international firmware or another region's if that region has released an update.
You can flash ANY firmware onto ANY arc and still get 3G in its coverage zone. (All firmwares contain BOTH software radios: i, a. However, HARDWARE is fixed: "a" radio, "i" radio and will ONLY get 3G in their respective coverage zones.)
That is, you can flash an "i" firmware onto an "a" phone and still get 3G in an "a" zone.
However, this does NOT work in reverse. You CANNOT flash an "i" firmware to get "i" 3G in an "i" zone on an "a" phone.

Rooting = deeper access to the software on the phone. Does NOT allow you to load recoveries like ClockWorkMod or load non-Sony firmwares.
Bootloader unlocking (either paid or free) allows custom firmwares, overclocking, etc.

You have no idea how helpful your info and those videos have been!! I think im actually going to attempt the generic rom thing especially because it says i dont even need to be rooted. And the vidos make it ridiculously easy to do it. After half a dozen guides this demystifies the whole process.
So just to confirm, if i update to a generic other rom, ill still be able to get ota updates based on that region? In your opinion which rom is the best for an lt18i? And by best i mean the one i can expect quickest updates on and with least amount of bloatware, cos i doubt there are or differences in them.European, north american. Or global generic?
Btw im on firmware 0.62 anything special i need to consider before attempting this?
This page has links to firmware for lt18i but no global. And the uk version is older. Should i just flash The uk version even though its older and then ota update?
Regarding the stock photos, would be awesome if you could zip and upload to your mediafire page, maybe other people can find them useful too.

Typically, Nordic gets updates first because Ericsson is Swedish. (From past observations, it typically goes Nordic, German, Hong Kong, UK, Asia, North America.)

Hi! I was on the same situation as you when I got my device as this was my 1st ever android device and I was also curious about firmware regions. So I tested each and every firmware region I could get on .42 and all I can say is there's not much difference on all of them.
1. is of all the regions there each firmware differs only by so called bloatwares.
2. there are only 2 major differences of all the regions. Asia region contains Chinese keyboard, Japanese Keyboard & international keyboard but no arabic support. While non-Asia regions only has International Keyboard included + arabic support.
That's pretty much about it. All others softwares are similar like baseband version, branding, kernel version, applications, themes, etc.
Since I received my N7000 on November 17, 2011 from Mobilecityonline my Galaxy Note won't update. It's running UBKK2 - the CSC is TTT - which a Brazilian CSC.
I've searched every thread and correctly followed every step of the process I've found unsuccessfully, I've tried the manual update and receive "no update available" every time I read about a new firmware release. The CSC is listing only 3 codes; VNO, TTT, and TDR - I installed each one of these CSC codes in an attempt to prompt a software update to no avail. I haven't even gotten the update from January that provided the addition of the Torch & everything that came with it!
Short of rooting my Note is there anything I can do to either change the CSC Code to one that receives updates regularly or manually update the firmware? I thought I'd wait until ICS became available hoping that would correct these issues but I'm slowly getting PO'd that I may not be even to receive ICS.
Plus I didn't/don't see the reason to have rooted by now - I've rooted all of my Android devices from HTC EVO 4G's & 3D's, Nook Color, to Asus Transformers. Is there anything I can do without rooting this beast and will I even receive Ice Cream Sandwich?
I'm begging for help please. I'd sincerely appreciate ANY help and I'm willing to donate to anyone that will help achieve everything I'm missing out on to date.
Thank you in advance,
Jim G.
If keeping it stock is all you want, just download one of the stock firmwares and flash it with odin.

They are the South Amercian firmwares currently out, but the European ones are newer if you want to try those.
Wow that was fast!
Wow! Thank you for the super fast reply. Can I D/L and use any stock firmware, I was hoping to use either the UK or German versions cuz they look like they get updates more often than the rest. If I'm wrong I stand corrected - could you please point out a version to use or am I stuck using the BZ version forever?
Oh Lord I hope not! * Forgive me - I saw you suggested the EU versions after I hurried to reply, my fault! *
Again, Thank You in advance,

Brazil Note.
I too have a Note with a ROM from Brazil. Since this is my first Android phone and I'm a noob so far, what will it take to get mine over to a euro one. Will this brick my phone? What region do you recommend for a US user? I understand that you meant Europe, but there a lot of choices like open, open euro or open germany or europ or german. Any directions or advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
flshing a firmware for another region is fine... I offen just update to whereever has the newest update
But if i update to a stock rom from another country without changing csc, will i be able to update via kies whenever a newer csc update gets release online for my country? I got this ideia it wont be possible and will still need to change it again via Odin. It bother me if it wipes my phone each time i update. Still in kka/5 here with unlocked phone...

After updating to another regions ROM, You can just Odin back to the original stock ROM if you really wanted to, to restore KIES function for the original configuration.
But to be honest, the only time I ever have, is just for warranty purposes, I don't touch kies in any shape or form, there really is no need.
The way I work is, I like to use the stock ROMs, but rooted etc... So, when I got the phone, I rooted it, put the ClockWorkMod Recovery (CWM) on and now I just update my ROM with the repacked stock versions made to be flashed with CWM. They are exactly the same ROMs but rooted and deodexed, some I "believe" are multi CSC too.

Thank you for all the help! I'm choosing to use the open-Germany (DBT) stock ROM cuz I've been keeping track of the ROM that was updated the most. I found it to be the German and UK versions but it seems the open-German edges it out.
I've got it all D/L'd and am actually waiting to get my notebook up and running after a CPU upgrade. Once I receive the thermal paste updating my Beast is the 1st order of business!
It sucks that the UBKK2 firmware never allowed any kind of an update, it makes me wonder if I'd even get the ICS update when it's released on March 15 or shortly thereafter. Of course that's according to the rumor mill and I'm simply referring to that since the SGSII's received their ICS earlier today according to SanFirnware.
So who knows? Again, I thank everyone fir their help and input.
