X10i Global Generic to please :D and you made my day !
[XPERIA X10 General] tjchad:
At least it looks like the rollout is continuing. For now I'm running fine with my X10a flashed to an X10i with 2.3 but I'd at least like to see the official FW for the X10a. The Navy taught me to hurry up and wait so I guess I can wait...
[XPERIA X10 General] darioaquino:
what version is it? i havent see it in the roll out list! can you confirm if it is an official firmware?
[XPERIA X10 General] dennymancilla:
Cool!!!! :cool:

This means that the rollout continues and it's coming downwards from the North!

It won't be too long before we get the 1234-4820!!! :D

Finafreakinglly!!!

You're one annoying person, if you think something is incorrect in your head, you immediately start talking s**t.

I can guarantee that the info tomiik provide is 100% correct.

If you took a sec and checked tomiik's previous posts you would see that tomiik is the #1 contributing user in this thread, and all his posts has been very appreciated.

There is two different CDA's for Rogers!

X10a ROG-CA NAM1 1233-6929 - Not available yet (yyyy-mm-dd)
X10a ROGERS-WIRELESS-CA ROGERS 1254-8615 - Released (2011-08-12)
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
Simple mistake, I checked and couldn't update even though I'm using a rogers x10.

Instead of being a d**k like usual, you could realize that everyone has made mistakes, you make plenty I'm sure
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
Yea I make plenty, but I would at least double check before accusing others for false info. Those statements just confuses others and is in no way a help to other Rogers readers that reads your post and believes what you wrote.
[XPERIA X10 General] FarRuleS:
No X10a BR GEN updates yet...

i'm wondering if worth the wait this BR GEN or if i just flash this X10a_3.0.1.G.0.75_AM-US GENERIC

someone already test it?
[XPERIA X10 General] dbgeek:
Downloaded and flashed. So far so good. If I had a camera I'd take a pic proving that it's x10a GB.

Thanks tomiik!
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
what's the base band
[XPERIA X10 General] FarRuleS:
You can Screen Shoot the device with ShootMe (Screen Grabber):

but i think it only suports rooted devices.
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
2.1.71 like all the other 3.0.1.G.0.75. Baseband only changes on different builds.
[XPERIA X10 General] abytom:
Thanks tomiik! Never knew there was a AM-US Generic, any difference between CUST-GEL NAM1 1234-4820 & AM-US GENERIC 1233-8200 ?

I'm on ATT x10a, but was using 1234-4820 for 2.1 - wondering if I can simply switch to 1233-8200 for 2.3
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
Sure you can. If you've already debranded, this will do no harm. So go ahead an flash this :)
[XPERIA X10 General] rodrigobauza82:
I'd like to know guys, how do you check this releases out? I mean, how can you tell that these kits were released? I'm curious about it, thats all...
[XPERIA X10 General] dbgeek:
BB is 2.1.71
[XPERIA X10 General] dbgeek:
I've done so on my that had cust version 1234-4820. I've tested all of the features that I normally use and it works beautifully.
[XPERIA X10 General] dbgeek:
They supposedly have a no root version for trial, but when installed it says I can't use it because I don't have root access.
[XPERIA X10 General] stan.s:
You did the upgrade/downgrade to do the root?
[XPERIA X10 General] FarRuleS:
Oh s**t... So, you need root :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Tavocampana:
Thanks Tomiik! X10a US Global 2.3.3 works great!

I know that it always makes me nervous. I just make sure that I have a xrecovery backup of the firmware before I start anything, as well as a backup of my user apps+ system data. And a fully charged battery of course, I'm at 40% so I've decided to charge first, though I have flashed with 17% just a few days ago- it was a race to see if I could finish before the battery ran out; it was done at 2%. I was running through a bunch of firmwares to see if there was anything I was missing, and a theme manager seems to be one that's not included in the base rom for us, but is in the Arc/Neo.

I also interestingly downloaded the Android 2.3.3 User Guide. Damn, it's a couple hundred pages (widely spaced). I've never seen a Car BT profile..... I've never seen a BT profile or Feature's menu like the old days.....

BTW, I looked up the CDA number, and the last time it was talked about was Nov 2010, when someone dumped the entire CDA list, but no one had the firmware as between ATT and Rogers there was no AM-US being sold ( or very very few). That's why we all went with the Generic Latin America version. I guess at this point you could go to SonyStyle and order a X10, but you could get an Arc too, since that's not sold by ATT either.
[XPERIA X10 General] dbgeek:
No way that I can do better what's done in this link (even a total n00b like me could do it without any probs, when following these instructions). You'll need to download the zip file in the link on pg 89, unzip and then put in the firmwares directory as instructed.

btw... be sure to back up with "my backup" of other app (the one that comes with 2.1 won't work after you upgrade).

Hey Tavocampana...

Were you on Cust-Gel 1234-4820?

Have you noticed any bugs? Is everything working ok?

Thanks for letting us know!

If I don't miss my guess, the Cust-Gel 1234-4820 will probably arrive before the weekend... (Fingers crossed! Lol!)

[XPERIA X10 General] LaughinGoh:
Rogers

GREAT NEWS EVERYONE!!! Just got an email....

The Sony Ericsson X10 2.3 update is now available. To update your device simply connect your X10 to your PC, download the PC Companion from the Sony Ericsson site, (if you didn’t already do so with the 2.1 OS update) and follow the instructions to download the 2.3 update.

Happy upgrading everyone.

regarding the rogers update. does that apply to 1233-6929?
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
I thought so I just wanted to clarify because of everyone saying that the baseband on x10a would be different earlier in the thread. I figured it would stay the same right through
[XPERIA X10 General] AyDee:
So if kernel and baseband are the same what is the difference between kits?

Just some lines in build.prop and different bloatware?
[XPERIA X10 General] Stryker777:
Interesting enough, the x10a generic loaded fine, runs great, but I could not get it to root. I tried the downgrade but it would not detect the phone after the downgrade. I made a new upgrade pack for after so I was able to get it back going but no root. Oh well though.
[XPERIA X10 General] surrealillusion:
downgraded and then tried upgrading ... no 2.3 for me on Rogers ... damn lies! lol
[XPERIA X10 General] eAndy:
hopefully it's up soon. they posted on facebook and twitter
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
There is two different Rogers CDA's... So your customization number is 1233-6929 which doesn't have the update yet.

The Rogers Customization that got the update is:

1254-8615
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
Thats because you didn't enable USB Debugging first before trying to root. Mine roots fine and all is well.
[XPERIA X10 General] wali01x:
first time around this evening as soon as rogers announced after 5 minutes i tried it & updated to 2.3.3. x10a. i messed something up with frameworkres.apk so i had to re-do it & then now when i when to pcc to update it says its uptodate even though im on 2.1 and i tried changing from 6929 to the other firmware number in buildprop yet both say its uptodate lol how wierd :confused:

edit: now its updating to 3.0.1.075 wow wierd pcc & rogers..
[XPERIA X10 General] alankstiyo:
is US generic full of bloatware???

not really sure about updating now or wait for NAm version :/ code 4820
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
Not at all. Its the exact same. But now my phone says X10a.

Does anyone knows what is the difference between the 2 rogers firmware? I'm in Quebec and i'm on 1233-6929, i got all excited about Rogers pushing the update out but it's not the one i use >.>
[XPERIA X10 General] wali01x:
ok so to 2.3.3. from rogers i don't know about you guys but from me i tested the "audio stuttering issue" without the patch or anything and i don't see it happening so guess what X10i sukers u guys got bad fW lol just kidding but yet anyone from toronto or canada respond to my info here & confirm if x10a is not doing that to anyone that means they used xda patches ;) *smart rogers* but yeah im kinda dumbf0oked cause x10i has that issue & x10a doesn't kinda odd. and also im using "rogers ur music" player id recommend to anyone that just wants simple music player & album art its the best so rogers did alot of work behind scenes thank g0d.

edit: ex0dd i don't personally see any difference rogers is rogers whether it'd be 1629 or the 8804 or w/e one they have its same only thing i ssee is x10a otherwise baseband is same and kernel and alll same.

well, i updated my x10 yesterday its super woow and i really enjoy me new phone look. but i have one question, after update i missed moixer mail, backup and restore and some apps where already in the device. did i updated in a wrong way or the update missed moixer mail and the backup and restore app??

can any one help me...

thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] wali01x:
well as far as moxier mail forget it its gone :D lol 2.1 it was id say check this forum on that software and as far as backup & restore & all that seach here on threads you'll find that too. this update doesn't contain moxier mail cause it includes default email client and backup & restore according to them it wouldn't work so they didn't include it but yet it works on 2.3.3. lol. anyways happy searching go to themes & apps to get all your softwares or "apks" =D
[XPERIA X10 General] bruce90:

Why is that surprising? They only change on build versions. X10a and X10i files is identical. The only thing that changes is the system.sin file

Thanks a lot.
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
What's really surprising is that everyone that argued that x10i fw couldn't be flashed without issue on an x10a are now surprisingly quiet lol
[XPERIA X10 General] Dark Nightmare:
Just edit the build.prop file to x10a and change the customization number to 1233-8200, because if you change the entire build prop, you will lose all of the mods you flashed.
[XPERIA X10 General] david832:
no i mean, extracting my own firmware in the phone, the actual installed and working firm.

[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
Well it's not as simple as that. Something in the system.sin makes it utilize the different UMTS bands. I'm not sure if it's simply build.prop related or some differences in some files.

has this region for the 2.1 X10A AM-US GENERIC 1233-8200

or was created for 2.3.3
[XPERIA X10 General] moacyrfilho:
Obviously because the only true bug that exists on X10i (no matter if it's on X10i or X10a hardware) is the audio stuttering, that, apparently was fixed on the release for X10a. I am still using X10i firmware on my X10a and it's working flawlessly.
[XPERIA X10 General] dbgeek:
I'm not certain what you are asking, but the X10a AM-US GENERIC 1233-8200, that's linked on pg 89, of this blog, is 2.3.3.
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
I don't think so.....

The hardware (internal radio) would be what does this, hence why you can never make an x10a an x10i...

Nothing in the files would account for it
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
I know the files is identical, and only the system.sin differs on the builds.

So it's a fact that it's related to system files only. It might read some hardware ID from the radio to identify it as being an X10i or X10a, the part of figuring out how it does so is the key.

But if that is what is happening, then flashing an X10i firmware should be suffecient for it recognize the radio as X10a since the files is identical.

But it doesn't do that, so it must be related to system.sin files which is what I'm trying to figure out.

I'm trying to figure out how to convert an X10i firmware to X10a firmware.
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
hmmm how does it not do that though because it runs 100% the same whether you put the x10i or x10a fw on it...

I saw no difference whatsoever.
[XPERIA X10 General] xchx:
Backup and Restore DOES work in GingerBread but not for system settings o more internal stuff..

It works perfectly to backup and restore SMS, MMS, PHone contacts, etc...
[XPERIA X10 General] moacyrfilho:
Why do you people insist in this imaginary difference on the software? The frequencies are locked on the IC responsible for GSM connections, otherwise, an X10i with X10a firmware or vice-versa wouldn't have network. I have an X10a running X10i firmware and absolutely everything related to the GSM network (3G, calling, SMS) is working fine. The only problem that is happening here is that my handset cannot be updated through SEUS or PCC, since both ways verify the version info available in the firmware and on the hardware, then when PCC or SEUS identify it's a X10a handset and X10i firmware, it cannot find any available updates for this combination, which is perfectly normal.

Just for your information: my operator uses X10a frequencies: 850/2100Mhz and I have 3G working with my X10i firmware (where HSPA networks are available).

There are MANY people out there flashing their handsets in the wrong way and saying it's firmware fault. I myself made many mistakes on the beginning of my XDA life, so, what I have to say is: check EVERY step on the HOW-TOs and try them in the correct order. What may be causing problems with your combination of X10a with X10i firmware maybe something else, like the caches (including dalvik cache), residual apps or files from older firmwares and even (rarely, though) the files on the SD Card. Make a backup of your apps and phonebook and clean up the mess before flashing the firmware on yout handset.
[XPERIA X10 General] stan.s:
So when you go into the service menu and look at the configuration, it shows GSM2100?

Mine (X10a) only shows 850, 900, 1800, 1900 plus UMTS bands 1,2,5,6.
[XPERIA X10 General] Frontir:
In version 2.1 there were several pictures in the form of people's faces that you can assign to contacts. Now they have removed. Can I find them somewhere to download?
[XPERIA X10 General] moacyrfilho:
No. When I mentioned the frequencies, I was talking about the UMTS frequencies, not the GSM ones. The UMTS frequencies are represented by numbers (something I just can't understand, it would be much easier if they used the frequencies itself), and if you want to check, there's a page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_frequency_bands#UMTS-FDD) showing the real frequencies for the codes shown in the service menu.

Mine is the same as yours (UMTS bands 1,2,5,6), which correspond to 2100, 1900, 850 and 800 Mhz, respectively. If you have an X10i, it might show UMTS_BC1,4,8.

As I mentioned before, both firmwares are structured to work with both Radios: X10a and X10i. The frequencies are defined on the hardware.

If you take a look at the IC manufacturer's site, you will see that this is perfectly possible. Nowadays, the flagship phones are usually equipped with radios compatible with sets of frequencies commonly used in many countries (usually four bands for GSM and four for UMTS/WCDMA/HSPA).

On the operators side, the only big exception I know is T-Mobile in the US, which uses the UMTS_IV (1700Mhz) band and, thanks to that, needs handsets developed specifically to their networks (which I think is a way of ridiculously locking down the handset to the operator).

Just to clarify, GSM bands are commomnly four (you have many others, but the most common are 850, 900, 1800 and 1900) and even mid-range phones are quad-band and will place/receive calls and send/receive SMSs on every GSM network, as long as you have a valid SIM Card for that network.

I'm so damn sorry for the SOOOOOOO off-topic post.
[XPERIA X10 General] sagacious1:
is there a way to update/change/flash the North American android market onto my UK generic 2.3.3 rom? i installed the x10i on my x10a and i'd like to get my correct market back. honestly i dont understand why the market isnt wide open to all regions. you could then just have a selective filter for language at that point. anyway, i dont want to flash the US generic 2.3.3 rom because i've already got everything setup and i figured it would probably take the same amount of time to change my market app over to U.S if its possible.
[XPERIA X10 General] hasei:
I never realized there is a regional difference in the Market app itself. I think the way market works has nothing to do with the app-they are all the same. The phone language, location, SIM card and what the build.prop says might make difference in how the market actually displays apps.

Until yesterday I have 2.3 firmware for X10i (ARO) and today I have the same GB but for X10a. It doesn't look any different to me.
[XPERIA X10 General] dbgeek:
Why don't you flash the x10a ROM onto your x10a? The link to the download is on page 89. You could back up your current apps, contacts, settings etc so setting up would be minimal.
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
just edit your build prop with root explorer to say you have an x10a, then flash kxhawkins new market app in "themes and apps" section
[XPERIA X10 General] sagacious1:
because im leary, when i backed up 2.1 on my sdcard and went to 2.3, the sdcard was unreadable and needed to be reformatted so i lost my backup. nothing i did would allow me to read the card unless i formatted. maybe a difference between ext2 and ext4 but i dont know. my phone works great and i've spent a lot of time setting it up. id rather live with what i've got or find a way to change the market app. the market does look different than the one in my us global generic 2.1 but i dont really know how much of a different there is between UK and US 2.3 markets, if any. especially since the previous post mentioned he didnt notice anything else different either.
[XPERIA X10 General] sagacious1:
thats what i needed to hear :) thank you
[XPERIA X10 General] jalvarezra:

[XPERIA X10 General] sagacious1:
ok i downloaded root explorer and got to my build.prop file, now what? all the permissions are set and the only relevant option is "open as text" but then i can't edit it....? so thats problem #1.

#2, when i figure out how to edit, what do i change? specific lines? or just everything that says x10i i change to x10a?
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
You need to click r/w" in the top right corner...

then click open in text editor, and edit the line "ro.product.model=x10i"

and also the ro.build.fingerprint
[XPERIA X10 General] sagacious1:
bad news bears, it was already on r/w at the top. i unchecked it and checked it again...still no text editor.

*update* nevermind i found the 2.16 version, i now have text editor. thanks.
[XPERIA X10 General] sagacious1:
"ro.product.model=x10i and also the ro.build.fingerprint" ---specifically, and those are the only two? i did the ro.product.model but what about the ro.build.fingerprint? this is what i have in there already:

"ro.build.fingerprint=SEMC/x10i_1241-1846/x10i: 2.3.3/3.0.1.G.0.75/tB_P:user/release-keys"

does it need to look like this?

ro.build.fingerprint=SEMC/x10a_1241-1846/x10a: 2.3.3/3.0.1.G.0.75/tB_P:user/release-keys

also, do i need to reboot afterwards for the changes to take effect? sorry for being redundant but i just want to make sure i am editing the proper things. thanks.
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
yep that should work!

if not you might need to use SEMC/x10a_"put one of the x10 a numbers here"/

here I have a fingerprint that will insure you get every app if you still have issues:
