You need to go into the hidden menu. Go to the lock screen. and type in
menu, back, back, menu,back,menu,menu,back
Then go on service info. then model info.
ok, so it says brand, orange so its branded
But there are no orange software or anything on the phone

Unlucky. You can look into debranding. Its what I did. Or you can hope someone hosts the file up.
i had the same problem, debranding is easy its in the decrypted roms thread, download the files let it flash and viola its debranded as it installs a generic firmware onto the phone
about the apps thing, did your phone not have traffic tv or was that just me?
its got traffiv tv ya, thought that was just something sony stuck on there lol

It voids your warrenty, If you hand the phone into repair and it's running non orange software then they will not repair and and charge you for its returnal.
Though saying that. I handed in a x10 which was on nordic software into a o2 store with a fualty usb port. They replaced the phone. But that might be because they could not turn it on.
Becareful and no the risks before you debrand

I read somewhere here that when you flashed your phone with a official generic version then the warranty won't be voided
here in mexico techs from my carrier are so damn stupid that they won't even notice is not their firmware (just for the record, had an x1 with winmo in spanish, asked them how to change it to english or if they can put the firmware in english, their solution, to change the country settings, seriously they suck)
I have a daft question - If we update to 2.1 can we still hack bootloader if the devs get to it in the near future?
I'd have to assume it remains the same right?
What if it says Customized? Is that branded or debranded?

Hi All,
Just wanted to let you all know that I just upgraded my X10a to 2.1 global generic. I was running this FW X10a R2BA026 0001 CUSTOMIZED GEL/LUSTER WHITE NAM_1. After updating to 2.1 and checking the hidden service menu, my software was as follows:
Model: X10a
Phone Software Version: 1227-4612_2.0.A.0.504 GENERIC - user
File system version: WORLD-1-2-5-6_2.0.A.0.504
Customization: 1234-4820
OK here is how to flash the firmware.

Can you please tell me what does it indicate about country in the secret menu?
it is located in SERVICE INFO - MODEL INFO and then model, country and brand. so what does it tell about country?
this is because CUSTOMIZED GEL/LUSTER WHITE NAM_1, what you are talking about is not yet released by sonyericsson.
the only GENERIC FW for x10a released is the BRAZIL GENERIC, which is CUSTOMIZED BR.
Also for your query about how to upload your firmware to this forum, you can get better help from the senior members like arkedk or im_iceman or many others.

Hi,
The country is WORLD..no other country is specified. The CUSTOMIZED GEL/LUSTER WHITE NAM_1 was my 1.6 firmware before I updated through SEUS and got the current 2.1 version.
I will contact the senior members and see what they say.
Thanks.
This is the LAM release.

Yes, I think so. But, I am assuming SE renamed it to world generic? At least this is what the software info says on my secret service menu. One thing I noticed is that the Wisepilot app comes pre-installed on 2.1 as supposed to downloading from the SE app store in 1.6.
I had LAM generic 1.6 and had wisepilot installed
maybe is LAM cause SE MX release their fw and lam is controlled by mexico xD
can't wait to reflash it with lam yay
I believe that the line:
File system version: WORLD-1-2-5-6_2.0.A.0.504
will be on all 2.1 updates regardless of region as this "WORLD" string only depicts the file system version which is a common thing amongst all 2.1 updates. The "1-2-5-6" string "may" mean the UMTS band it supports.

I am more curious with CDA 1233-8200 as it is also for X10a with the country as AMERICA.
I have not been able to find out if it is branded or not. It is definitely not the AT&T branded one as another user has confirmed that their's is different than this one.

Hmmm that's interesting. Did they update to 2.1 yet or still on 1.6? I'm in the USA and would like to have the generic for north america. Not sure how different it is from the LAM one?

I used the LAM when on 1.6 and it was great for me. I am now using the Generic World version on my X10a as I couldn't wait unit the "a" version hit. Have been running it without a hitch.
I believe that mystery CDA is still on 1.6. Hopefully someone has some insight on this code and can shed some light to what it actually is.

Hello,
Sorry for disturbing but I really need a firmware pack for a prototype X10.
I received it for testing, and it seems someone flashed a generic stock firmware on it.
The result - a beautiful x10 with no network access, it can not register to any network provider.
If anyone has such a firmware, please PM me.
Thank you all

Maybe you need to enter the network setting (aka APN)? If that is not the problem then go here.

no, that is not the case.
Thephone is a prototype, and it can not use the network at all with shiped rom - meaning no voice at all - it acts as if it was in "airplane mode".
Thank you for your opinion, anyway
Hello Agarthian,
what SI (CDF) does the prototype have (Label below the battery)?

Hi again,
I´ve flashed such a prototype (exactly the same type/data as yours) with a DE/CH generic software version (CDF/SI: 1235-7836). Only limitation of the prototype board is that Bluetooth is not implemented and speaker is weak.
Good luck - Nonixnarrez
Is there any way you could give me that specific firmware? I searched for it but i was unable to find it.
Would be most grateful if you could upload the file somewhere and PM me the download link.
Thanks in advance

Thank you, flashed this firmware but it seems that the problem was not caused by the firmware after all.
The phone still asks for "sim network unlock pin" - the phone is not network locked, being a prototype. The other X10's we received are just fine, this one just refuses to use any sim card.
Any other ideas? I'm running out of them.
Hello Agarthian,
I'm sitting here looking at the lovely X10i prototype that a major-manager at SE gave me some time back. It irritates me hugely not to be able to upgrade it to 2.1 and so I was wondering if this is what You have done/are attempting? If so, have You been successful?

Hi.
I have 2.1 on it, but this huge problem about not being able to use any SIM card in it. I really don't know if it originally came with 2.1, because someone else had it for testing before me, and I have no info about what happened to it so far.

Well my phone, with a higher SI-number than Your's (if that has any relevance to age) was certainly delivered with the 1.6 it is still running. So probably someone has done a manual upgrade of some sort on the phone to get it to 2.1. Have You spoken with SE support? I had a X10 Mini Pro that they actually took pity on and upgraded for me. It probably helped that I live in Stockholm and had an SE lab here close-by... No such service-mindednes this time round, though....

Having the same issue... Have you found anything yet?
hi everybody I have tried to root my xperia x8 because i wanted to update the android version to 2.1 , i downloaded the superoneclick 1.5.1 and i did all the steps i've read here but at the end it says "FAILED the device was not rooted" and in my phone it appears the superuser aplication but i can't access to the root explorer because this message appears:"Root explorer has not yet managed to obtain root access.Because of issues with Superuser, this often happens the first time the app is run but is usually fine from then on."
I have no idea of what is happening , i did all the steps:i put my phone in debug mode , then connect the phone and click "root" and it is still not rooted :S
If someone can help i would be very happy , i'm about to become crazy :S
HI
If you have android v1.5 Donut and you want to upgrade too android 2.1 just install PC Companion (Sony Ericson software that you get with the phone in the box) and let the aplication search for any update of firmware for X8.
actually i have 1.6 version i've tried to update it with pc companion but it says that it has the latest version....
Where do You live?
You have tried to update your phone via PC companion?
PC companion>Support zone>start> ... And it says that u have latest software?
Check phone status do You really have 1.6?
I live in Peru
yes i've tried that and i still have the firmware version in 1.6
help me please
You don't need to root your android to do the upgrade.. xD just upgrade with sony ericsson update service, and after that you can root your phone normally using 2.1 firmware..
Although, you need to substituite a file in superoneclick: "thecage.." to "neuter" but rename to the original.. (sorry if i can't explain well, but i'm portuguese and i'm 16.. xD) search on the forum or wait so i can post the zip file already working, because i don't have it on my phone..

There's at least 3 links to it, not sure if the torrent is still working.
It's set as russian CDA number, but you can change that - look on x8 forums for way to change CDA (don't have time to help with that just now )

You can flash with E15i firmware and then flash X8a baseband that you can find in thread in my signature bellow
...maybe there is a way to update with pc companion like he is in Europe...
And I read about updating from other country on development section.
Easy way it's changing the SI number so it solves it like a workaround, still i'm not sure if it provides his language (i think it does) after that he can even install froyo or ginger eh
There are lot's of tutorials with infos to do it right in dev section, check them out.
well... actually i have the flash tool and i found this firmware "X8 Shakira E15i_2.1.1.A.0.6_generic.ftf" but my xperia has the e15a version if flash it with this firmware what would happen?
you should get android 2.1.... and to your root issues you should set usb on debugging mode and you mustn´t mount sd card just set charge phone instead.
so no matter if mi xperia is e15a and the firmware i would use in the flash tool is e15i
Well, the last night i was looking for a great operator offers in Mexico, and while i was searching on internet a fourd the Xperia X8 with Android 2.2 Angry Birds Version.

NOTE: I saw this "special package" Xperia X8 Angry Birds Version, on the box u can find a official toy from Angry Birds the Xperia X8 in color Black (just sell the blakc version) with "Theme" or "Wallpaper" from angry birds i never turn it on, but i saw it and i still with my doubt if this is true (the Android 2.2 Officail from Sony Ericsson) or just is "trading strategy".
