Guys,

My PC-Companion doesnt give me 2.1B update at all...I heard this update is needed to upgrade to 2.3/GB.

Please let me know if 2.1B is available in india and i get a doubt now that same might happen for GB also..

Im currently running on stock 2.1 with BB54 and kernal 2.6.29..

Please suggest!
[XPERIA X10 General] silveraero:
The fact is... I didn't receive any update on 2.1.B.... or BB .67 since I bought my phone...
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
Logical....? Yes, but still speculation. Definitely not proven to be LIARS.
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
The 2.1.B.0.1 update was German regional. The Gingerbread update will come first to generic kits. Probably global generic 2.1.A.0.435.
[XPERIA X10 General] subbuaxel:
What if i flash the baseband 67 on my current stock ROM and try to upgrade to GB when available? will tat be a problem? is Baseband 67 stable ...please tell me if i can proceed with that...
[XPERIA X10 General] donjamal:
I said a few times that i was just guessing...
[XPERIA X10 General] JazzLOCO:
While we wait for the Golden Fleece to come about, I think the community is doing a better job, role-model like, even, than what Sony Late-icsson is. I am actually happy with a MIUI 2.2.1, fast and stable enough for everyday use, and with a good camera and vid included. I wouldn't sweat it, unless it finally happens and then, even then, I would still go for what the community has to offer, given that the drivers for this great phone are released. :D
[XPERIA X10 General] 28spawn:
Hello all,

I checked all the x10i generic firmwares today and found something strange, I looked on the firmwares using 2.1.B.0.1 (cust de) then appeared a update to 2.1.1.A.0.6(what supostly should be older).

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

I am updating to see if there is something new.

Bye!
[XPERIA X10 General] monteiro-ribas:
boa sorte lol
[XPERIA X10 General] mercury_beta:
what is your SI number? Cause i use 2.1.b.0.1 too, but i didn't get the update by PC com

Edit: check on http://www.ptcrb.com/ctiastaff/complete/view_complete_request.cfm?modelid=16755, there's just 2.1.1.A.0.53 firmware, not 2.1.1.A.0.6
[XPERIA X10 General] 28spawn:
I told it was strange because this firmware is older than 2.1.B.0.1.

A	2.1.1.A.0.6	ECO	Jan 25, 2011

The CDA number used is the 1237-0336 from CUST-TH GENERIC.

Booted up, just the normal 2.1.1.A.0.6. BB .55, the funny thing is that this release is newer than the 2.1.B.0.1 because I can´t update to 2.1.B.0.1!!

Bye!

It seem to be more widly spread about update

now is more likely that update will be next week.Official update in german!!:D:D:D:D:D
[XPERIA X10 General] moritd:
try F5`ing SE blog not trying PCC or SEUS because they shot into se blog first then they release what they should:P
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
There is nothing new in the Thai generic.

It's older than the German Generic, even though PCC don't think it is.

You can find all these firmwares as they were released in my firmwares thread.

BTW 28spawn check you PM.
[XPERIA X10 General] saimad4u:
me to running the same... bro
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
It's not available for the India region, this was only released in Germany.

O2 Germany released it in a branded version, and Sony Ericsson Germany released it in a generic unbranded version.

And it's not a "must-have" firmware to be able to upgrade to 2.3.3, if it was they would have released it to the entire world.

You should be just fine upgrading to 2.3.3 from any Éclair version I would think (or at least the latest globally released version 2.1.A.0.435).
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
0.53 firmware is AT&T branded.

You guys are too worried about the wrong things. Having the latest 2.1 updates are probably for those who aren't getting 2.3.3 anytime soon. Global Generic is their "Vanilla" Android, so it will most likely be released first, as it needs zero further work or authorization.
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
Any major updates has never been released to Global Generic first.

The first Éclair update (2.0.A.0.504) was released to Nordic regions first, then the following days/weeks to the rest of the of the world.

The big pinch-to-zoom/dual touch update (2.1.A.0.435) was first released to the Saudi Arabia region, then released the following days/weeks to the rest of the world.

Just my thoughts on the matter, we'll see where it hits first, in my opinion it doesn't matter as I will just change to that region and flash it anyways.
[XPERIA X10 General] DooMLoRD:
all that we need are the blob_fs files (for getting the FW into FTF format atleast ;))
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
Yep... but think it's changed a bit in the *.sin files.

Probably gonna be:

adsp.sin
amss.sin
amss_fs.sin
apps_log.sin
cache.sin
fota0.sin
fota1.sin
kernel.sin
loader.sin
system.sin
userdata.sin

As opposed to the old:

amss.sin
amss_fs.sin
cache.sin
dsp1.sin
fota0.sin
fota1.sin
kernel.sin
loader.sin
system.sin
userdata.sin
[XPERIA X10 General] iDarkyVM:
Hi everyone,

I think update roll-out is tomorrow/Wednesday, I got some kind of feeling! If not, it is for sure NEXT WEEK!

Regards,

iDarkyVM
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
True, but this update was advertised as near Vanilla Gingerbread for the Generic Kits ONLY, where 2.1 was promised everywhere by date of release of the X10 in that region. Also, Rikard told us to go generic in anticipation for the update. He didn't say Nordic or any other regions.

I remember the totally generic SIM unlocked X10a got the 2.1 update before generic Brazil and other regions.
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
Well he said that Nordic was gonna be first on the first Éclair, but he never mentioned anything about it on the last globally released update. Generic unbranded kits is just a number for Sony Ericsson with minor tweaks.

There is no higher priority to Global generic compared to any other unbranded Sony Ericsson firmware.

And where was it advertised as near vanilla Gingerbread? It's never gonna be like that. Always gonna be Sony Ericsson UXP.
[XPERIA X10 General] realfelix:
I've seen on the german SE site in the Product Specification of the X10 (im german tho) that everyone should update to the new 2.3 so my guess it is to come in the next TWO days, if I'm wrong, correct me ..

Link:
[XPERIA X10 General] moritd:
hope so...

where is link?!
[XPERIA X10 General] bharadwaj1991:
here is the link: http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/pro...ax10?cc=de&lc=de#view=features_specifications

however when you click on update now u get information about 2.1 update...

translation below:

Update your Xperia ™ X10

The latest Android platform for smartphones

Update your Xperia X10 to the latest Android smartphone platform - Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). The benefits include:

- Unique integration with Facebook

- The possibility of using, your mobile phone into a WiFi hotspot

- Music player with equalizer

- ... And more.

ALSO. i saw something that i thought was funny, maybe just stupid. but in PC Companion..under how to connect and under wifi it says: This option is only supported by Android phones with software version 2.3x or later. (Not supported by Xperia TM X10)...haha... this either means that recent pc companion update added this because we are SOON getting 2.3...or i dunno.
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
I can now confirm that TDS (Tampered Device Service) in SEUS/PCC/EMMA does check for root access and modified software.

I'm not sure how this will affect the update process for users with the above mentioned conditions.

But they do check for it. So exciting to see what happens when the update roll out.
[XPERIA X10 General] laill:
It should have no issue,they have no right to prevent us from update/repair our phones

Cheers,

L
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
Actually they do have a right to do so when you break the terms of use and void the warranty by performing root and software modifications.

But as I said, I don't know if it will affect anything in SEUS/PCC. I don't think it will. Was just a little info for the people.

EDIT:

It will affect the updating process, confirmed by unknown13x back in May.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14117751&postcount=75
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Maybe they will just use it to see how many people root their phones.. and later maybe give pre-rooted firmwares :P (One can dream...)
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
Once again, this should not be news to anyone. Unknown13x warned us months ago about this. I guess since he didn't promise opening bootloader or 16mil colors that we ignored him. ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] ivan.roussef:
I'm really eager to get this update.. I am getting a business travel into Thailand till next week before to return to my country.. hopefully I will be able to have gingerbread running at my phone. :D
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
Might not be news to you, I only just found out about this now.

I hadn't seen the post that he made back in May in the now locked thread.
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
My bad, I thought that was why you were reporting it. I was just adding confirmation.

@OP, this deserves to be in the OP, as should anything unknown13x posts. History has shown his info to be the most reliable.

JIC, he said before June 20th rumored release date....

Update not finished. Expect around end of July.

Must be running unmodified stock generic firmware to get update via SE. Update Service now detects root.

No opened bootloader

No 16mil colors.

No Multitouch
[XPERIA X10 General] silveraero:
For now, if you are planning to update your phone to Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread, I recommend you repair the phone to return to stock Android 2.1 Eclair because the update will be rolled out anytime any place and as SE said, users are using customized firmware will not receive the update so repair the phone now is needed.
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
why now? it isn't an ota update, and I'm sure the minute it is out anywhere it will be posted on here within seconds...

Takes two seconds to flash back to stock with flashtool
[XPERIA X10 General] chiconanni:
!!!

I think that we can just restore later, to get the "stock" 2.3.3(4) firmware! Am i right?
[XPERIA X10 General] silveraero:
Yes if you use FlashTool and no if you use SEUS or PC Companion cause' it will update directly to Gingerbread and Eclair will be skipped. But I don't know if FlashTool does like xRecovery, just like root and flash, it cannot be updated too. I'm not using FlashTool so I don't know how it works.
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
No, it is NOT ota. OTA=Over The Air. You must update via usb cable and PC Companion or SEUS.

Nor will "anyone" get it via SE. You have to be running the same CDA number firmware as the release. For example, if you are running AT&T branded 2.1 firmware you will NOT get the update until AT&T releases it, if ever. Unless you debrand to the correct generic CDA or use the Flash Tool when firmware is available.

For those who can't use the Flash Tool, I will provide a guide for changing CDA/rebranding and using SEUS or PCC.
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
I don't know if you are quoting me to correct me (or if you were just agreeing with me), but if you are I think you misread what I said.

I said that it isn't ota...

Once I hear it is out I'll just flash generic firmware with flashtool.
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
I understand. Just trying to put it in clear terms for those who don't get it.

Maybe it will make the OP, with the other gossip.
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
Cool I wasn't sure!

makes sense :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Greenycq20:
FlashTool has been only applying original firmware via Hardware flash mode. after you can apply Root and xrecovery.

as soon as the 2.3 is released we will beable to extract the sin files and flash with Flashtool to any x10

unless SE have changed the method of their SESU, that would be kinda dumb as they would then have to remake all the current firmwares compatible with the new method. and even then the phone in flash mode can only understand what it has always been sent so if we can flast it now we can flash it tomorrow. after the 2.3 update maybe another matter we might not be able to downgrade?
[XPERIA X10 General] kantk20111:
Sorry about missing unknown's post about how SEUS will NOT work on modified firmware. As unknown is a recognized SE insider I will put this in the OP. Sorry for completely missing it, it gets hard to track this thread sometimes :D
[XPERIA X10 General] VisionNN:
Just a question, if i have to go back to SE firmware, will my xrecovery stay, or will it get wiped. Im just afraid if i get bored with 2.3, then i wont be able to go to my old ROM.

Thanks guys.
[XPERIA X10 General] silveraero:
All data in internal storage will be deleted so no xRecovery, busybox survive.
[XPERIA X10 General] aR_ChRiS:
It will be wiped.
[XPERIA X10 General] Alikalix:
Will be there any chance to update for users who's got damaged USB connector? Like through the Xrecovery...
[XPERIA X10 General] Lion3494:
No

Sent from my x10 on gingerbread
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
People who are worried about losing data on an update shouldn't be updating. You are missing the entire point. Who do you blame? Google!
[XPERIA X10 General] VisionNN:
I decided not to update to 2.3, too much work for something i know ill get bored with within a week. Ill just wait for custom roms to come out with 2.3 intergrated, then flash em with xrecovery. Saving time, lot of effort and at the same time getting a better rom.
[XPERIA X10 General] laill:
Not possible,if you only use xRecovery.

New baseband,new kernel

cheers,

L
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
Please explain the difference between the two. I think you are confused.
[XPERIA X10 General] Hzu:
I don't think it's possible because it's a whole brand new firmware. Still, I am not even sure about it.
[XPERIA X10 General] Prodigy:
So. if the bootloader can't be cracked then basically means it cannot be rooted, so the only people that can benefit from the new kernel and camera are the people that actually upgrade.

I've always thought that Z or J could rip out the camera and kernel and use it on some other gingerbread ROM.
[XPERIA X10 General] Hzu:
No, you can still root it even if the bootloader is locked when someone has figured out a way to root it. Also, everyone can enjoy the new features from the firmware if you guys stop whining about not able to root. It'll be rooted someday, so stop whining, the world is still spinning.
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
We've never had the bootloader cracked, and we have almost always had root. We are going to have great ROMs regardless of bootloader or root. The thing we have always needed is someone who can write the drivers.
[XPERIA X10 General] TenkaTsai:
An official news from facebook

===========================

Sony Ericsson

I got this email yesterday about the update:

"The launch of the 2.3 software for X10 is getting closer, and the planned release date is approx. w30. The date could still be changed, since the launch is depending on operators approval. The software will be rolled out continuously, just like the earlier 2.1 release. The exact launch date is depending on market and operators approval, so it will unfortunately not be possible to give precise information on launch dates for each market/operator. You will get more information once the roll out has started."

-Markus

===========================
[XPERIA X10 General] khakhi:
Im on generic 2.1 and ROOTED, does that mean i wont get update because im rooted? if yes can i just unroot with super1click?

Can we also know in which countried the roll out has started when it starts...thanx...lookin forward to hearing reviews after upgrade
[XPERIA X10 General] silveraero:
Now is w30 I think :|

Of course not cause' SEUS or PC Companion will check for any change in system. Unroot it before update.
[XPERIA X10 General] rederik79:
How to unroot?
[XPERIA X10 General] barrac28:
w30 it means?
[XPERIA X10 General] donjamal:
Week 30, which is the current week.
[XPERIA X10 General] koelspy:
Week 30, this week.
[XPERIA X10 General] donjamal:
As above said, use superoneclick, or repair phone via pcc, or install fw with flashtool. Make sure u're on generic fw
[XPERIA X10 General] silveraero:
Ya, as donjamal said. But better repair all using PC Companion or SEUS.

Well, feel so hot like this hot update.
[XPERIA X10 General] rederik79:
So, if i don't repair the phone with seus before the gingerbread release, i can't repair after?

Now i'm on bb 2.1.67

Build 2.1.b.0.1

If i change or reflash the sane build, i make the unroot?
[XPERIA X10 General] vatis24:
Sorry to ask mates , but if someone get the update and dump the files we can flash it from the flashtool from binary right?

Thanks

Vatis
[XPERIA X10 General] bra1n0uk:
God i hope the great devs here can root this fw.

I would even rather have root than anyother perk like 16m color and stuff.

Sent using 8 fingers and 4 toes. Multi touch rocks
[XPERIA X10 General] donjamal:
i'm not sure but as far as i understood, you have to be on generic to be able to repair (restore) the generic fw, otherwise you might get operator customized fw. so i vote for flashtool and generic fw. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] silveraero:
Ya, lost it. But you mean must on stock kernel right. I just think firmware is Android OS. Confused @@.
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
Firmware contains everything....including the kernel.
[XPERIA X10 General] yeeyon1990:
i think currently sony ericsson is testing on the networking, take precaution on the release date.. this mean the GB is coming very soon.. horray
[XPERIA X10 General] rederik79:
Sorry guys, i understand how to unroot the phone with seus, but i don't whant to' lose, now, all the data.
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
Then use FlashTool and untick the userdata box.
[XPERIA X10 General] rederik79:
Ok Arkdek, but reflash the bb or the build?
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
Any official firmware you want.
[XPERIA X10 General] rederik79:
A complete firmware.......with the uncheked userdata box i don't lose nothing....ok!!!
[XPERIA X10 General] silveraero:
You store all information on internal storage???? :confused:
[XPERIA X10 General] iDarkyVM:
Hi arkedk,

They will maybe check if we have root, but they can't take away the function to repair our phones right. Because what if SEUS/PC Companion give us a faulty firmware? That has happened before :)

But actually having a non stock firmware (not from Sony Ericsson) will affect the updating process. It has to check for region number, and what firmware version you got before it will be able to upgrade to the newest firmware available for your phone kit. That means that changing the firmware version, could affect the process. The region code maybe affects when you will get the update, but by changing that on stock firmware you will be able to get the firmware earlier right. Because when the roll-out starts in Spain, and you live in USA you can get the update by changing your region code to Spain.

And now the whole story in short, that means you MUST be on STOCK 2.1 to get the 2.3.3 update.

Regards,

iDarkyVM
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
You wont be able to do that in that exact example, because X10's from the US is X10a, and if you change that to Spain which is X10i your device wouldn't be recognized by SEUS or PCC. But if you do it within the regions of X10a on a X10a it would work.
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
At this point, I am a little confused.

If SEUS checks for tampering, then we can't root our phones.

If we don't have root, we can't edit build.prop to the appropriate country code

to get the update before it's available for our kit.

If the update for example is released in Nordic area first, if we flash Nordic firmware on a non-Nordic phone, won't SEUS detect the tampering?

So, is it that we will have to wait for the update to roll out in our country? :confused:
[XPERIA X10 General] silveraero:
That's right and must be unrooted because SE said this on their blog
[XPERIA X10 General] iDarkyVM:
Hi arkedk,

That's exactly what I forgot to add. It was just a example, I should have taken France as example and not USA :p. But the most important thing of all, you've to be on stock 2.1 firmware to upgrade.

Regards,

iDarkyVM
[XPERIA X10 General] iDarkyVM:
Hi My_Immortal,

You forgot one thing, our godly Flashtool! We can flash it with that! But I think that root stuff is just some BS. We've got the right to repair our phones right if the functionality is offered.

Regards,

iDarkyVM
[XPERIA X10 General] shady8701:
Another noob question :P

Hi all,

I don't know if this is even a valid question, but once you have rooted your phone, what can you do to get this update?

If I flash it again with a generic firmware and don't root it this time, will that mean that my phone isn't rooted anymore?

or is it like, once you root it, its done and irreversible??
[XPERIA X10 General] realfelix:
So.. I have just unrooted my Phone using SuperOneKlick .. is that enough to get the 2.3.3 GB update?! I am on STOCK 2.1 & kernel...
[XPERIA X10 General] koelspy:
Just flash/repair with stock firmware.
[XPERIA X10 General] Lion3494:
Lol no. You must downgrade to Android 1.0 to receive it.

Sent from my x10 on gingerbread
[XPERIA X10 General] realfelix:
Lol not :P
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
Yeah, I forgot to mention the FlashTool option.

So we either wait for an .ftf with the update,

or we can't get it at all if it's not available for our country, right?

Since whatever other workaround, won't pass through

the "tampering check" of SEUS.
[XPERIA X10 General] shady8701:
Thanks mate!!
[XPERIA X10 General] DooMLoRD:
OMG WHY IS THERE SO MUCH CONFUSION?

just flash the latest stock 2.1 FW (for ur region), DO NOT ROOT and wait for the GB update!

OR better:

wait for the GB update to be officially released... then flash the 2.1 FW for that region (where it gets initially released)... then update to GB (whenever it comes)
[XPERIA X10 General] qwer23:
What if you flash a unrooted, unmodded Nordic FW with flashtool? You won't have to change anything in build.prop, right? I don't think SEUS will recognize any tampering then.

edit:

exactly, that's what I thought, too.
[XPERIA X10 General] kunalgahlot:
well i guess we can just do necessary changes in build.prop to change the region which gets the update first
[XPERIA X10 General] qwer23:
not without root i guess ;) But you could try to root, change build.prop, and unroot again. That should work.
[XPERIA X10 General] rederik79:
Yes because i'm on eclair
[XPERIA X10 General] kunalgahlot:
I am sure Z or other devs can make a .ftf file out of the GB ROM
[XPERIA X10 General] silveraero:
What the hell? It's application @@. Data @@, I mean information, pictures or anything personally :confused:. You can install all application late, it does not take so long.
