Hi, i barly got my phone 2 days ago and i been researching on how to update it. I have AT&T provider in U.S.
I see people have debranded, flash, rooted....i can't tell the difference between what this is. And most refer their x10 as an x10a (most likely they have Rodgers as carrier (Canada if i am correct).
Can someone please guide me through updating my SE Xperia x10 1.6 -> 2.1.
I'd like to update it so i can still receive updates from SE website if that is possible. I am new to smart phones and don't know where to start really, if someone can guide me that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Look under 10a Generic
Ok to update your phone head to the Sony Ericson website and download PC companion http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup.../detailed/pccompanion/xperiax10us?cc=us&lc=en and it will talk you through the update process. Really it's very easy. There are plenty of custom roms out there now and if your feeling up to it iv made a guide to walk you through just follow the link from my signiture. The x10 comes in 4 main forms x10i (Europe) x10a (america and south American nations) there's a japenesse version (docamo, can't remember precise spelling sorry) and x10 HD which comes with 2.1 pre installed. I hope this information helps you along your journey of exploration of smart phones and believe me you made a good choice getting an x10 and with news of getting a gingerbread update in the summer I'm sure you'll feel very satisified with your phone very soon

Wait a minute. He said he has AT&T, which means that PC Companion or SEUS will be of no help to him. AT&T is still on 1.6.

What you need to do is check your private messages. I will send you a detailed guide that I have helped many fellow AT&T users with.
Btw, X10a "a" is for Americas. We broadcast on different frequencies.
Why don't you post the guide here?
Then every at&t user could update easily

Because I would get 50 replies saying that there are tons of threads on this already, use search button, and mods please delete.
However, there are just as many new threads like this one, so you have a point. Just have my back when all the flamers and whiners chime in.
Will do tomorrow. Let me clean it up a bit and add some stuff on root, xrecovery, JIT and removing apps.

Please don't spam our new users thread up, there is no need. I was trying to help and I honestly didn't know at & t were still stuck on 1.6 so PC companion wouldn't work and I adviced to the best of my knowledge.
I don't apriciate your comments and remarks towards me and you should speek with more respect towards your fellow and more senior members.
Point made, back to topic now.

Your the one who went off topic on me. There was no need for your reply. Treat me with respect and I will return the favor. This is not the first time you've jumped in personally on me. I love how you spam at will, then jump on others for it.
What would you have rather me done? Not tell him the correct answer, just so a more senior member didn't get his feelings hurt?

All I said was same attitude. There is nothing offensive in that. Everyone has an attitude. Do you not like yours or something? Now if I used an adjective in front of attitude I could see your point. Heck, I even put a wink and a smile, meaning all in good fun.
Once again, you don't have to get so defensive. Lighten up. After all, now you are the gingerbread man. Great new name btw. ))

Problem with your guide is that my X10 is still on 1.6 and I can't seem to get xRecovery on my phone.
You wont if your on 1.6, you need to download a global generic Sony firmware and flash it with the flash tool, then root and install xrecovery with flashtool and start my guide for custom rom from my guide if your feeling up to it.

Check your private messages.
Also, I am betting they have already visited those threads. I even use them in my guide. The problem with the guides is they don't explain the steps, which for someone trying this the first time is not helpful, even frightening. It takes an experienced noob to explain it to a noob.
EDIT: Here is the link to my guide that I posted at FLO's request.

one of the reason we advise new people to use search is because it's faster for them to find answers than waiting for them. and because not using search means more junk threads in the search results for people who use it.
this was posted not long ago and it's still in the first page so you could've spotted it without even using search:

In XDA community you're always welcome to join ongoing conversation, so you don't need to start a new one
my magic crystal ball tells me we're about to see history repeat itself with the over-repeated epic-fail questions like:
1. can the HD2 run iOS?
2. can the HD2 run WM7?
3. can the HD2 run Android?
and so on...man there were a ton of those threads back in the day...
I don't know why people are asking anymore, don't they see that hd2 can run every lightweight operating systems? In every case it's just a matter of time ;-)

ya sure. being a social animal we all should respect each other. never know who will be helping first when we are in trouble.
xda should put a main thread where users can interact. just out of topic thread. i meen to share.personal problems, comments, what they like/ unlike. just social matters only. no techinical matters. i hope it will make us close. what you think?

Hmm well I remember someone I guess CCknot who continue FDE because the developer no longer active and never say any words about his developments and he continues it. So I guess it would be ok until such time I guess that he complains about it. Ill talk to some mods regarding your issue. "If the dev can no longer be contacted is xda would someone allow to continue the dead development."
Ah can someone give me thw rule's link?
PS: OK THANKS
But how can i be able to post without 5 minutes limit?

Hi lorks,
I sent a message to some mods and admins about your issues, and from some questions to other members it turned out that xperianfan has an issue with that ROM and sadly discourage by mods to continue the development. I will send pm to colossus coz I guess his the one who dealt with that ROM and ask for some background.
Thx for help

No one is making you a rom, and you were likely ignored in the right section because it's a dumb question (that's been asked an obnoxiously high number of times) that could have been answered with a simple search.

Exactly......If you want a rom then I think android is your best choice.
Don't post in the wron forum next time
To be fair, devs made (and still make, or at least update) a ton of WinMo and WP7 ROMs, which are also closed-source (although the WinMo kernel source is available). There will probably eventually be ROMs for WP8, but please, stick to the correct forums for asking!
