My X10 has no market, got from Dubai airport

Greetings,
I had a short visit to Dubai and I've bought an X10 from the airport on my way back home. I had it sealed and I opened it when I got back.
It was shocking that it had no android market and I am stuck with the phone and can't replace it.
I just want to have the firmware other than the one loaded to it that is specific for Dubai with no android market, I've been reading in this forum and I guess this process is called "rebranding" if I am correct? Please guide me to how to get android market on my handset because they do cheat people when they sell android handset without market application.

Hi.
You could follow steps 1 to 6 HERE which will "debrand" the phone, then run SEUS for the latest FW, or should you want to root the phone you could follow all the steps.

I've followed the instruction till step 6 then I ran SEUS but it says my phone is up to date. I didn't do step 7.
I have the market now showing up, I will try it and get back to you. But I am wondering why SUES gave me no updates?
My baseband version is 1.1.27 and my build number is R2BA023
Are these the latest versions?

I've used the market app and downloaded my first application. I am really thankful for your help.
I do have a question, before I do steps (from 1 to 6) my build version was R2BA024 and after I did all you said I am stuck with R2BA023, when I try SUES or OTA update it says my phone is up to date. What does this mean? I can't update my phone anymore?

plz Re-post the link

Download Flashtool with a generic firmware, flash it into your phone and enjoy your unbranded phone with the market. After flashing with Flashtool use SEUS to be sure everything is cleaned with a clean install with SEUS.

I don't know what you want to backup, but you could sync your contact/agenda etc with google. After that, download firmware .435 Generic and flash it into your phone. You will now have a unbranded device with market.
AFter doing that, you can optimize your ROM with Flashtool, install xRecovery, root etc... After the flashtool installation you will lose EVERYTHING. So be sure you back-up all important things.

Back up and restore could be fine if it does backup everything you want.
Debranding means that your phone is not LIMITED to one provider with software updates. So when SE releases a firmware you will have to wait till your provider releases the firmware for you. But when you debrand you get updates from SE and not your provider.

Well technically this isn't debranding because your phone is not carrier branded (It's just a generic UAE with no Market).
This is just switching to another region which has Android Market. But the way to do this is exactly the same as when debranding a phone.
Android Market isn't available in the UAE region.
So if you re-flash with another region and get market, and still using a SIM from the UAE I think it would block any content. But then you could root your phone and use Market Enabler to fake another carrier and get Android Market to work.
But since you "brought it home" I can say that reflashing it to another region will get you Android Market and it will work. You don't need to back up your UAE firmware when replacing it with another region firmware, and after you've flashed it with another region firmware SEUS or PCC will always flash to that region firmware.
If you flash to another region you won't have SlideMe Market, because all other region firmwares all have access to Android Market and therefor comes with Android Market pre-installed instead.
I remember when the first 2.1.A.0.435 build was released, that was to UAE it had no Market so I made a xRecovery fix package to get Android Market on it.
But would suggest you to flash another region firmware instead of this, because then when you flash with SEUS or PCC again in the future you would miss Android Market again.
You can find the latest firmwares here (don't use the AT&T but go for the one below called 2.1.B.0.1)

Sony Ericsson said:
The Android Market is not supported in the UAE. This is due to the fact that Google has not had the necessary agreements with the Regulatory bodies as yet. This is fully controlled and managed by Google. Sony Ericsson will be offering Slide Me which is an alternative to Android market in the UAE.

Updating to V2.1 on a locked phone

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??

Yea there is a lot, but if you checked my link you would see there is only 3 generic firmwares for each device (X10i & X10a) in the link.

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.

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

Same for me - tried 3+ times now.
This post seems to suggest the update is no longer available with ICS so close, but in that case I'd have thought it would fail earlier - the download seems to work fine; it's the install that fails.

ya.. but i can root ...
i have firmware 42 . i rooted with zergrush,then i deleted some bloatware previously..
so i have retored the stuff that i deleted from system/app..
then i update over air for .62 i download. after that phone rebooted.. then within the second it told me that "update failed" for .62 firmware ...!!
plz help to correct me

As in my second post i told download 0.42 firmware from this link( ://uploaded.to/file/vmfu4czg ) then flash it and then root it. Then update it through wifi. Today i try it on xperia s (LT18i) and i ts working perfectly i did not face any problem.

try flashing 0.42 Generic Global and then do all the procedure

Srry for lazy in translating, i have some more detail (including picture to demonstrate) in this link
Hope this can help

If you want to update OTA from .42 to .62, don't change anything in the system files. Update to .62 OTA first, then do whatever you want to your phone.

Hi there Got the same problem. I was always using Zergrush method for root. When I got .62 firmware it wont work. (fails in console while rooting). You said that we must flash .42 firmware then root, then update via OTA, but I got relocked bootloader. Can it brick my phone?

Not with locked bootloader.
Only use ota with locked bootloader

Yes, but my friend got xperia play. After unlocking bootloader he locked it with THIS
method. Then he start updating via OTA and get his phone bricked.
I got locked bootloader with the same method.

[F8331] Change stock firmware for a better LTE signal

Hi everybody,
I'm new here, I have bought my first sony (used) but I notice that the LTE signal is so poor specially indoor. The seller hasn't saw me that the firmware is an UK fw also I live in italy, infact, after a little research, I noticed that there is a carrier's app called EE and the fw version installed is of EE carrier's. The phone is sim unlock. There isn't root and I haven't unlook the bootloader.
My questions are:
- Can I change the stock uk firmware putting in an Italian stock firmware?
- Can I change it without root and without unlook the bootloader?
- How?
- Is there a guide that I can follow?
- Can I change the CSC for preserve the ota upgrade? How? I'd like to change fw preserving OTA update.
I don't wanna unlock the bootloader and root the phone cause I don't want lose the DRM licenses (widevine specially). I'm not interested to rooting or make any modding.
I'd like to put a stock room without bloat apps and with a strong lte signal.
Here the Info about the phone:

I think it should be possible to just Flash another Regions Firmware via Androxydes Flashtool.
No need for unlock as long as u have any offical fw (XperiFirm comes with Flashtool and downloads offical files)
But I may be wrong tho, this just came to my mind in the first moment

Thanks you LoaderFabi for the suggest, so I will waiting for a confirmation about that.
Meanwhile can y tell me a link to a guide and download the tool?
Anyway, thanks again ?

You can flash any region's firmware without unlocking the bootloader. You need Xperifirm to download the firmware, and Flashtool to flash it.

Ok, and about the OTA's update? Will it be automatically? Or do I have something about? And how?
Can you link me a guide to flash the fw and, eventually, to do something about OTA's update?
Thanks

Since it's an official firmware, you always get updates OTA (i think XZ will no longer get updates but no need to worry). I didn't see any guide to flash, i'll probably today write a guide to flash firmwares.

Thanks y so much Kuarinfou, I will waiting for your guide. I don't remember where I red in this forum about the CSC and that it could not change also flashing a stock fw bringing the OTA's issue... Probably I remember wrong ?
Anyway, Quote me when you will do it.
