if each version is customized for each reigon, what are people in the USA going to do? this phone was only sold to people in the US with an att contract as far as i know?
[XPERIA X10 General] spacegravity4me:
Does anyone in the United States have this update yet????????:confused:
[XPERIA X10 General] sauly:
no i live in texas and been checking every hour but nothing yet

getting back to 2.1

Is there a way to get back to stock of 2.1 incase the firmware doesnt work on the phone or if i dont like it or something?

Thanks :)
[XPERIA X10 General] chad_tukes:
I'm in the USA, and no update came today. I also have ATT xperia x10.

The only way to get the gingerbread update is to get stock 2.1 rom, root it, install xrecovery, and flash 2.3 .ftf via flashtool and you're good to go... that's what I did.
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
The United States/AT&T branded will not get the official 2.3.3 Gingerbread update directly from SE. You have to use the Flash Tool from xda to flash the update.
[XPERIA X10 General] Arod4409:
Unless you've debranded, you won't, our phone was not on AT&t's list of phones getting GB

I used X10i DooMLoRD prerooted on my X10a. For the first time ever flashing generic or other regional firmware on my phone, it automatically detected United States/English language, time and downloaded phone carrier AT&T APN before I had a chance to auto search for settings myself. :D

The build number or baseband has not changed on any of the regions released, so far they are all the same....:D

Aaahhh my computer just deleted the review and everything on my computer and phone. Wtf are you playing at computer. Do it one more time and I will replace you with a linux computer.lol
[XPERIA X10 General] iad77:
SE has rolled out the update and it's up to the operators to get it to the handsets .... right ?
[XPERIA X10 General] crimsonsky:
I'm from the USA (Virginia) and have the AT&T model. Of course, the first thing I did was de-brand it and I used the ftf provided here to update to 2.3. I'll probably reflash when the "official" Americas version is released but for now I'm way happy. I've seen reports of lagginess and other problems but honestly, I'm not seeing these issues. My X10 truly is like a new phone with everything MUCH faster and responsive.
[XPERIA X10 General] Lion3494:
I had to use the rooted version to get rid of the lag on the homescreens. But wow is this fast. And timescape is like lightning now

Sent from my x10 on gingerbread
[XPERIA X10 General] crimsonsky:
It may be because I'm using a different launcher that I'm not seeing the lag. But seriously, my phone runs better than it ever has. In fact it's literally like I have a new phone. And I agree that Timescape works really well. Honestly, I didn't know it was even capable of being that fast. Overall, I have absolutely no complaints. And I used the non-rooted version of the ftf that was initially put out. Glad it's working out so well for you as well!

So, question.....

Late last year I paid Da Vinci Team the $15 and got the Generic Debranded X10 2.1 software. My phone shows up as CUST-GEL NAM1 1234-4820.

Will I be able to just update from SE or will I have to go through hoops (or just wait for Da Vinci Team again)?

Thanks!
[XPERIA X10 General] Frammy:
Why is the 2.2 Wolfsbreak v07 with Custom Kernel much much much much smoother, than the WB 2.3.3 ??

This is not smooth like HTC or Samsung -.-
[XPERIA X10 General] newalopez:
Time invested on froyo.. And had all CM6 optimizations, just wait for J or W new gb from cm7 and you'll be happy again lol
[XPERIA X10 General] KnightUK:
Everyone who has lag, check Gmail isnt trying to sync contacts, i had lag and it was creating multiple copies of my contacts, in total it was 437 contacts it created, thus creating the lag lol, needless to say i disabled the contact sync :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Frammy:
really?

I thought Wolf's new Rom is FPS uncapped? It feels like stock 2.1 :/

when will CM7 comes for GB?
[XPERIA X10 General] aR_ChRiS:
The Wolf rom now may not be as light as the CM6, and there are no CM system tweaks in the rom. All he did imo is just lighten up the rom and add some WB tweaks in.

Just wait for J to complete his CM or wait for some AOSP roms.

I'm in the USA but I upgraded to the 2.1 generic when it came out. So I'm trying to do doomlord's thing but the problem is that I'm stupid and I don't know what the recovery thing is. How do I get it? thanks/

Someone who's also update with a bug in the lock screen running with music, music of a bottleneck in time to unlock the screen.
[XPERIA X10 General] stan.s:
phone's chip and kernel must be tightly locked or SE decided that the actual update to the kernel would not be 100% effective and they would get too many returns. There's a bonus, you can go back to 2.1 or any other custom rom. I wonder if it has the security holes all patched.
[XPERIA X10 General] stan.s:
I would just like to mention that not being able to unlock the phone in time when music is playing is AFAIK, a common android problem, when I have PowerAmp running and it's on the lock screen, I can't answer a call in a timely manner either on 2.1

[XPERIA X10 General] Hzu:
No, we can get newer kernels, but since all they need to,do is patch the kernel so that it would work for GB. Takes lesser time for them tocomplete the upgrade. Such lazy bummers arent they.
[XPERIA X10 General] stan.s:
As someone who used DaVinci in the past (and still have a credit with them) for my older SE phones, you could have saved your money and done and gotten the same rom here for free in AgentIBM's thread in the General section for ATT users. I have the same rom as you do.

Based on the reports/posts, the Americas generics will be released by SE next week, so you can use SEUS to get the updates for free when they are out, but you will not be on a rooted version. It is expected that it would have a different baseband.

If you want a rooted rom, there isn't any current root available for SE's 2.3.3 on any of their devices without going through some technical hoops not suitable for the casual user which is why DoomLord's pre-rooted version is such a big deal.
[XPERIA X10 General] stan.s:
None of the pre-release leaked X10 shots of GB had a newer kernel. A newer kernel(s) is much more than, tethering, and app2sd.

The newer phones have updated kernels in mind, when they hardware spec'd the X10, they never thought that Google would release as many OS updates as fast as they did let alone several kernels.

SE has the newer kernels, they updated the new models with them, so if most of the work was done, why not update the X10? You're already invested, it's cheaper to use as much as possible of the work you've already done than patch up something else to make it functional unless:

1. Hardware space limitations or hardware really doesn't support a complete update due to unchangeable security checks.

2. Probability of update failure too great (they already have a serious USB issue with many phones out in the market that is costing them a lot of money)

3. As programmer's are wont to do, a couple of the staff wanted to prove that they could put GB onto the x10 over management's objections. So they patched up a kernel and did a port. Management liked what they saw, relented regarding an update and only allowed enough funds to polish and QC the product.

If you know items 1 in advance, then you don't bother using the updated kernels, but now you are expending a lot of effort to overlay what you need onto the old object which requires a lot of regressive QC. I think that this is harder than just going with a newer kernel that you've already used and already supports the functions you want.

It's obvious that GB is SE's peace offering to the X10 owners. What did one of the website's post? "When Pigs Fly: X10 gets GB!" The new 2011 phones are overpriced and underpowered compared to the competition and the fiasco that the X10's public relations created, is dragging them down as well as the problems in Japan after the earthquake for the supply chain in parts. While sales are up so far over last year, this time last year, they did not have any phones in the US market, and they only have Play on Verizon for the last quarter, and that's not selling well as shown by the 50% reduction in price for the new subscriber. No US carrier has chosen to sell the Arc at all, after all that hype in Vegas. ATT just agreed to carry the Play, which is a unique niche market phone, SE must have made them a offer they couldn't refuse. I bet they had a already made a bunch of ATT compatible GSM phones that were gathering dust and now are just awaiting ATT's rom approval. ATT seems to be happier with Sony's tablets than SE's phones.

No, it's not easy to update the kernel, otherwise it would have been done, it would have been more cost effective. Even the lack of rotation in the camera shows that SE made a serious effort to distinguish their work from plain vanilla android.

The question for me right now is, did SE have to pay new royalties to MS/Apple for the GB update (are the patents in the kernel or OS?) or did FB's fees to be integrated onto the phone offset and make them a profit. (You don't think they put FB on xperia for free do you?)
[XPERIA X10 General] Hzu:
Yes, updating the kernel is harder and takes more time, that is why patching the kernel is the only option. But its the X10 users who demands an upgrade and we all know SE is fast in making old phones unsupported.

They would have give us an updated kernel if they want to, but as you said, the users are getting impatient and SE have no any other choices other than give us, the X10 users the update we wanted.

As for the FB Inside Xperia, I do not understand what you mean. FB paid SE or SE paid FB? If FB paid SE, then upgrading the X10 to GB is a plus to them, as FB need to pay SE once they have included FB Inside Xperia into the X10. Not sure if that is what you mean.
[XPERIA X10 General] keijames:
Remember SE was said, they were not provide further update after 2.1 firmware. But then because of ARC give them idea to further provide update of ginger bread ROM.

To us, we earn this.

This rom 2.3 is kind of better version of custom ROM, 100% working, which is not bad at all.

Will SE provide 4.0 rom again ? Unlikely.

Cheers
[XPERIA X10 General] Bennachie:
Phone still bust and in hospital so no GB for me, still I could not use it as a phone cos the call volume and transmission was so poor I could not hear people and people thought I had my head in a bucket. Hope it is fixed soon and returns with GB...................

Or I could just buy another phone, that works...............................
[XPERIA X10 General] CustomKill:
must the baseband to be 2.1.71 to get the update? 2.1.54 can't? or does the baseband will cause the phone not to get update?
[XPERIA X10 General] himanthaj:
Fially we have 2.3.3 on x10 :)
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
Baseband 2.1.71 is the bb included in the gingerbread firmware. It is not something you need to flash separately. To get the official update via SE you have to have the correct CDA.
[XPERIA X10 General] walidhiphop:
Google said that the 4.0 ice cream sandwich should run on any phone even if the phone have a limitations with the hardware such as less ram/ROM/CPU .....so in theory should run on our beloved X10......so...we are most likely to get the 4.0 icecream sandwich........"at least i hope"... :D
[XPERIA X10 General] -PiLoT-:
no its not google that provide us with updates its sony ericsson. they did us a huge one by giving us GB even though they said they werent going to

[XPERIA X10 General] kantk20111:
i don't know though, their faq said this on the original GB announcement.

They said nothing about updates inside 2.3...so we might get bugfixes...small updates...maybe, but I won't keep my hopes up.

You guys keep talking like the developers here are God. Without SE, you WONT HAVE THOSE DAMN SOURCE CODES to build all those damned ROMs.

Lame statement is LAME.
[XPERIA X10 General] Neo.:
If that is the case don't use those ROMS. When you buy something, you DESERVE the sources of the Electronic Equipment. For example, you buy a webcam what if they don't give you the Drivers for it? It's useless.

BLAME SE not our developers who work hard to give you the phone you are looking at. I feel very sorry when I look into posts like these.

SE sucks! I'd also add, 2.3.3 was also due to google forcing everyone else they'd have least bothered. Also they've realized if this update ain't done then they'll loose a lot of customers. don't just throw false statements dude
[XPERIA X10 General] archiplanner:
2.3.3

It is released in India...and yes, multi-touch is working.
[XPERIA X10 General] Hzu:
I USE those ROMs. and again, the devs would be nothing if SE do not release their source codes.
[XPERIA X10 General] zdzihu:
But we don't have any ROM sources from SE :) They merely release kernel sources (which still were useless with locked bootloader).

Every single part of code used for custom ROMs comes from Google/Code Aurora/CM contributors.

Please point me to ANY sources from SE we could use.

[XPERIA X10 General] stan.s:
There was rumors of a FB phone, earlier this year. Instead we have several phones with special FB buttons or integration such as xperia. The OEM doesn't do this without incentives. The Linkin Timescape and other stuff that has come out is because someone paid for it, not that SE thought it would be nice. FB is paying for the FB in xperia and maybe they paid enough and the contract was written in such a way that the x10 could be included. It may be why they want everyone to use the SEUS service since that might be how they are to report a count. The 10k of people who are doing the upgrade by flashtool may be bypassing the count unless SE can use the OTA reports.
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
Based on their rollout of the phone itself, the X10i was released before the X10a.

X10I is for International

X10A is for Americas
[XPERIA X10 General] Swan Age:
You will probably have Regioncode: Uk generic 1235-7379_R7B. I bought my handset also from Carphone Warehouse and this is what i have.

If so then i believe we will get the 2.3.3 update on either Monday or Tuesday, according to what some people have said.

Hope this helps

Process to get 2.3 on so-01b

HI everyone,

I'm not just posting this for myself but for several other people I know here in Japan, both English speakers and Japanese people. We all use the so-01b that docomo sells here in Japan. Some of us are very knowledgeable about our android phones. I buy used phones to hack on and a friend of mine even has the G1.

I have looked and search here on the XDA forums for information about a good way to get the 2.3 update onto the so-01b but there really doesn't seem to be anything specific. There is that one forum dedicated to so-01b users but they don't really have any useful information on the update.

Now if you guys are annoyed that a "noob" is asking a question or you feel you don't want to answer because you think that information is out there and that I'm just not looking hard enough then fine. Don't Reply. Helpful information only, Please. If you aren't interested in helping then I'm not interested in your opinion. I don't want to fight here, I'm just looking for useful information.

So here it goes.

1: Is the update coming to the Docomo phones and if so, which of the kits listed the roll out page is it?

2: If the update is not coming officially, what are our options for getting the update?

I have seen several different methods listed for getting the update.

-Rooting the phone and changing the region code in a file in the root file system.

However, Superoneclick doesn't seem to work on the so-01b running 2.1. More than one of us have tried it and can't get it to work. Could anyone give us some better instructions on how to get this to work, or is it even meant to work on our phones at all? Also, some Japanese users might not want to root.

-using a flashtool to flash a generic firmware and then update the phone from there.

Great, so which generic firmware will work on the so-01b with no issues? I assume the X10i firmwares are better than the X10a but then again I don't really know. Which of the new 2.3 kits should we be aiming for? Is the Australia kit ok?

If getting the "official" update from Sony Erricsson isn't really possible, then which of the unofficial roms would be the best choice for us to look into for the future?

Again, Thank you in advance for any useful information.
[XPERIA X10 General] aR_ChRiS:
Presumably you would want the rooted version right?

If that's the case, flash your phone with any 2.1 Generic firmware using flashtool, root and install recovery with flashtool, then go on DooM's pre-rooted page to find the other instructions.

Instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192152
[XPERIA X10 General] grill13:
Rooted or non-rooted. I'm not really picky. I figure the 2.3 will be rooted eventually but so far for myself I've not needed to use root on my x10. I use it as my primary phone so I don't mess with it too much. That's why I buy used phones.

Anyway, thanks for the info and I will look for DooM.

Which firmware to you recommend using with the flashtool?
[XPERIA X10 General] grill13:
thanks for the link, Now I see. Thank you.
[XPERIA X10 General] Hzu:

Was staying at 2.1 stock and never go anywhere before. 2.3.3 gave me far more superior performance and speed than the 2.1. It runs smooth and less delay (especially when opening camera) and the memory management is freaking good compared with 2.1 stock, no longer need to use any task killer =)

However after 2 days of using WB TW 2.3, the home button seem to be bit slow to wake up the screen lock page. The music experience is getting worse as it may lag few time throughout the whole song and another weird thing will be the CPU usage is either on max 998 or deep sleep, I wonder why ~_~
