2.0.1.A.0.47 not 2.1.1.A.0.6

I have problem(question?). When i bought a xperia x8 i got 2.1.1.A.0.6 and after flash it was 2.1.1.A.0.16(i checked it only 2 times but i remember it). But I was interesed custom roms. So i decided to install xrecovery. I did a backup of orginal system and install custom rom. All was ok. But last time I wanted to check something in official system(so i restore)and I saw that i have 2.0.1.A.0.47. And here is my question: Why i have this version?? Is there any differences??

Try to flash it again with SEUS or flash the baseband with the flashtool.
Hope I'm right
(sry for the bad english)

Other ideas?? Why i have something like this?? Is there and diffrence??

Just update it on SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Software), on PC Companion.

x10i Can I install the Modified 2.3.3 ROMs available out there?

Title says all
Can I upgrade my x10i or should I wait

do it the flashtool by jarpalea, or do it wb rom very fast and stable.

But won't the baseband mess up and my phone get no signal?

[Q] Stock ROM for SIM UNLOCK Purpose

Hi,
I have an X8 E15a. It's rooted with custom firmware and custom rom.
The problem is that it is SIM locked...
I have read that all SIM UNLOCK software require STOCK 2.1 roms. Is it true?
1-.So, how can I go back to stock rom? Is there and custom recoverye flashable stock?
2-.Is there any way to sim unlock (besides of course contact my local carrier and ask for it).
Best Regards.

1. You an flash it, with SEUS or PC Companion, you can download them from SE's web page, or yo can flash it with FlashTool (Easiest way: SEUS or PCC)
2. You can unlock your phone on different webpages, where you pay, and they give you instructions for unlocking your phone

Same thing with repair...

check ur baseband, for some solutions is baseband match required

This is so weird...
I'm using FLASHTOOL using this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12442257#post12442257
I flashed this rom:
SE x8_2.1_rus.ftf
Which is 2.1 right? Well... now it's on Android 1.6.
I said "hey maybe I made a mistake..." and downloaded from this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875688
This file:
E15a android 2.1.1 SI 1243-9502 Sony
So... following this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10879507#post10879507
I made an FTF file with it... and flashed it.
To my surprise I am still on Android 1.6 also BASEBAND shows UNKONWN.
SEUS and PCC still shows NO UPDATE for my phone, even using REPAIR.
Please, I need help with it.

So I flashed baseband for E15A from this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976538
But now my phone is stuck on Sony Ericsson logo... not even Android 1.6
When I try to flash a "made by me" FTF file it gives me a;
28/018/2011 19:18:58 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
I can only flash: SE x8_2.1_rus.ftf which is for 15i i think...
It seems that the problem is that I flashed a FTF for a 15i and now I'm stucked in Android 1.6 and can't do anything...
UPDATE:
Now I'm on this rom: X8 Shakira E15i_2.1.1.A.0.6_generic.ftf
And flashed this baseband: Baseband 015 - kernel 2.1.1.A.0.6
Do you think it's OK for unlocking?
UPDATE2:
UNLOCKED WORKED FINE WITH: X8 Shakira E15i_2.1.1.A.0.6_generic.ftf
I used a software called: Multi Unlock CLient
Best Regards.

That´s free, isn´t it?
So that means, we can unlock for free?
Because I´ve found a download link for that software, so I can get it for free/it´s really free.
And another question:
Will does be compatible with unlocked bootloader?

No, it's not free.
For unlocking purposes you need a USERNAME and PASSWORD.
I did not tried UNLOCKED bootloader as it says that it might "relock" your phone.

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.

43
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
Sent from my LT15i using XDA App

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.

Hello,
May i ask your previous ROM/Kernel/Baseband was? Was the Android OS 2.3.3 Rooted Gingerbread? Probably something to do with your previous installed thingy.
When i was installing x10S before, i'm doing this after my Stock ROM 2.3.3GB(baseband 71 and buildversion 3.0.1.G.0.75) in x10:
1)Xrecovery
2)FullWipe (Factory Reset)
3)Clear Cache Partition
4)Install Custom Zip from sdcard (Champ-Tof37-X10S-V8-2-Main.zip)
5)Started automatically (COPY DELETE Files,SYSTEM and etc.) and ''Installed Successfully''
6)Reboot Phone. (Updates Not Installed together.)
7)Sony Ericsson Logo then new XPERIA Logo and after 2-3minutes... Finally, Setup Guide.
Sincerely,
Whitefang

Ah I see some differences. Perhaps x10S rom works for baseband 71, instead of your 54.
Extra:
Maybe you should restore to ur 2.1 ROM and visit SE official website for official 2.3.3 update through SONY PC COMPANION [MAKE SURE U BACKUP UR IMPORTANT FILES ALRIGHT ].
Even you didn't backup ur ROM, you may check SE website to for REPAIRING Your Phone Follow guide below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1504809
Then visit thread below for ROOTING OFFICIAL Gingerbread 2.3.3 for x10 Your Updated Baseband shd be 71, and Buildversion 3.0.1.G.0.75 in your updated x10.
