Has anybody in the UK got this update yet?

thanks

Bloke
[XPERIA X10 General] tiggerbcn:
Of you who have upgraded to R1FB001 you can try something?

- Turn off the phone

- Connect the charger

Do you turn on the phone?

It is to see if SE has fixed this issue because I have had many phones and none went on to connect the charger, the X10 is the only turn on when connect the charger and that is not normal

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] GSeeker:
I failed too.:o
[XPERIA X10 General] Flamso:
Maybe SE has fixed that loophole? I hope your phone still works?
[XPERIA X10 General] GSeeker:
It bricked, but i'm trying to flash back to UK 16.

edit:it's back to UK 16 now. anyway, thanks Flamso for the files.
[XPERIA X10 General] acampada:
Please, Could you or anyone test with a external program like Picasa for Geotag in the new firmware R1FB001?

Since from MediaScape was always working.
[XPERIA X10 General] xanfia:
Mine is still working after a SEUS recovery. However, I tried to update using PC Cmpanion Software using your files... Is there another way to change the firmware using SEUS software?
[XPERIA X10 General] troyjamz:
Tack så mycket!

Tack så mycket. Fattar inte varför jag inte kunde ladda ner den v:confused:ia SEUS
[XPERIA X10 General] charmz2k2:
lol!!

I keep coming back to this thread to see if the UK has got it yet...

I'm assuming it wont happen with the OTA update?
[XPERIA X10 General] SE-Naz:
OTA... Will be the last place I would say...

First SEUS/SE Companion
[XPERIA X10 General] augie7107:
I may be wrong but I believe this is an Android specific thing.

My sons Motorloa Droid turns on when charging as well.

Tried SEUS and PC Companion last night with X10a Rogers but no update available.
[XPERIA X10 General] Flamso:
I really have no idea. If it didn't work with SEUS then, as I wrote before, they may have fixed that loophole.

No problem! Yeah... I know a couple of more Swedes that have the same problem. Hopefully you'll find the update soon! Can't really say that the files will work however, or guarantee that your phone survives at all. :o And I keep to English because it's an English forum. ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] :
Mine was bricked too and recovered with SEUS. But anyway.. thank you very much for the files Flamso :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Flamso:
No problem! Too bad it didn't work. :o
[XPERIA X10 General] tiggerbcn:
Android is not specific thing, to my Htc Magic can be charged with the phone off.
[XPERIA X10 General] The_Morgue:
I'm also having problem with PC Companion. I'm only at the repair phase, but PC Compainion hangs or geterrors. Have tried to reinstall, bit still problems.

Mabye the loophole is still there, only some overall problems at SE.
[XPERIA X10 General] troyjamz:
The files I downloaded from Flamso and the files in my "C:/ProgramData/Sony Ericsson/SEMC OMSI Module/db/13740270/blob_fs" folder have different names. The ones i downloaded are called File_27736... etc but the ones in my folder are called ICON_277216...etc

Im not sure why its like this but I know that when debranded my phone before though the tutorial on http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=195467 looked different. Like his:

Why is that?
[XPERIA X10 General] Flamso:
Well, the only files that where named FILE_ etc is the three files I've uploaded. The rest is named ICON_ etc in my blob_fs-folder!
[XPERIA X10 General] troyjamz:
ok, thanks once again Flamso!:D
[XPERIA X10 General] quanganhle90:
Have you tried with SEUS ? I've never have a luck with pc companion :D
[XPERIA X10 General] troyjamz:
Im trying right now, hopeully it works!
[XPERIA X10 General] xanfia:
Guys don't waste your time, SEUS also doesn't work...
[XPERIA X10 General] troyjamz:
I take that back, it just installed R1FA016 again for some reason. *confused
[XPERIA X10 General] McKebapp:
Uhm... I couldn't trick SEUS either....

I've also tried a Swedish Proxy Server, to pretend, that I'm in Sweden.

No luck too....
[XPERIA X10 General] cashaw:
If that update is only for a particular market and doesn't seem to offer any real benefits then I guess I will wait for the general R2 updates to appear....

Too bad. I've edited the posts with the links since no one has been able to make it work. :o
[XPERIA X10 General] imugur:
Do you think is location related? I am in Romania but I bought the phone in Sweden. I did the update using PC companion since Monday. Anyone in Romania that tried to go to R1F?

Mugur

http://mugur-ionescu.ro/tag/xperia
[XPERIA X10 General] McKebapp:
Ahhh, o.k., that makes sense.

So it isn't location related, but maybe they're spreading the firmware according to the phones IMEI. I guess X10i phones, that were sold in Skandinavia Area will get the firmware first.

Is anybody interested in determining this a little closer?

I'd like to build a list according to first eight digits of the IMEI, to see if my thought is right.

My Phone was sold in

Switzerland:

35941903
[XPERIA X10 General] Flamso:
Yeah... That doesn't work either. I have the same numbers and I've been able to update!
[XPERIA X10 General] McKebapp:
Damn :D

I'm running out of Ideas :rolleyes:

What else could be the restriction, if it isn't the location or IMEI.... :confused:
[XPERIA X10 General] Flamso:
Yeah. That's very strange. Maybe SEUS checks for region (since I have Nordic if i check the service menu) on the phone?
[XPERIA X10 General] McKebapp:
Uhm... How do I enter that service menu?
[XPERIA X10 General] Flamso:
On the lock screen, press menu, back, back, menu, back, menu, menu, back!
[XPERIA X10 General] McKebapp:
Thanks. I had the code before, but incomplete, so it didn't work for me.

Mine says: United Kingdom, according to crossflashing UKs R1FA016.

Maybe its worth to try flashing the Swedish R1FA016 to upgrade then to R1FB001.

Does anybody have the three R1FA016 flashfiles from the Swedish Version?
[XPERIA X10 General] Flamso:
That might work! But I don't have them.
[XPERIA X10 General] McKebapp:
So my other Skandinavian Friends, where are you?

You don't only have the cutest Girls around to make me happy.

Put the Pedal to the Metal and save my weekend by providing the "old" Files :D
[XPERIA X10 General] AndyD777:
The following is the difference between X10 model, the only difference on the X10i handsets will be a different CDA/CDF :)

35941903 - X10i

35942003 - X10a
[XPERIA X10 General] fwyt:
Hey guys I updated my UK unbranded x10i to R1FB001, using the guide on Esato. First of all I used the x10a files from Esato, I couldn't get the x10i file from this post to work.

Here is my findings, coming from .016 UK.

MediaS is faster, but still suffer from some lag

TimeS is still laggy, no improvement over .016

But I did find that the dialler is a lot more responsive than before

Other than that everything else seems to be same

Also I have some missing apps in market too

Battery has been good since I updated to .016 (average last me 2 days)

Speaker volume seems to be the same as .016

You shouldn't have bought a branded phone. :D
[XPERIA X10 General] ratedr75:
Bit harsh wasnt it? Lol
[XPERIA X10 General] Flamso:
Maybe just a little. But seriously, it's always better to buy the phone without having anything to do with your carrier. I was lucky enough that I got an unbranded phone when I signed up for a 24 months plan. :rolleyes: Still, you can't really expect that SE will release updates for every branding out there at the same time either.
[XPERIA X10 General] erbe3:
okay so i've unbranden my swedish telenor-bound phone to uk x10i..downloaded your files flamso and followed once more the guide from esato but im still on the same uk x10i..what does your say..swe x10i or? an does anyone have the original files from an swedish telenor x10? would be great getting my hands on them..:D
[XPERIA X10 General] Flamso:
My phone is not branded. Does the files work for you? It should say Nordic region in the service menu and be R1FB001 (build number) in "about phone" in settings.
[XPERIA X10 General] erbe3:
Nope says United Kingdom and R1FA016..its weird:S

Maybe i've mixed your files up with the ones i had earlier that's uk..
[XPERIA X10 General] McKebapp:
I looked at the Davinci Firmware overview. The newest Firmware is for "NBC" (Scandinvian?) region only. No way to upgrade the UK Version. We have to flash .16 NBC first.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] sb5917:
I have a Hero on Orange UK and I've upgraded the ROM to the latest Orange one and then puchased an unlock code from unlocknow. The code 'seemed' to work and falshed up as being sucessful yet when I try to use it with a Voda sim it will not find the network. It says No service' and no calls can be made. Switching back to an Orange sim the phone works as normal.

Any ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
I'd try flashing a custom ROM. It is known that some Orange ROMs cannot be unlocked but I was unsure what would happen if an unlockable ROM was applied after the unlock procedure.

In theory, flashing a custom ROM *should* resolve this.

Use BTDAG's guide linked in my signature for step by step instructions.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] nlel:
Does the phone come up with the unlock message again when you insert the vodafone sim or has it gone for good? If its gone for good then the phone is unlocked and your IMEI may be blocked on certain networks. If it comes back all the time then the phone is locked still, funny because the latest ROM is supposed to fix the unlock problems people were having with the Orange phone... well according to some.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] stshannon:
I'm looking for a .apk Manager.

Not for one on my phone, or to organize the apps on my phone.

What I'm looking for is a Windows application, Win7 64bit compatible, that will organize my 4.7gb worth of .apk's i have on my computer. Ideally, automatically detecting version numbers, and removing old versions of the same app etc.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
Good idea, I just use appbrain on my phone.

ps: change the title to [REQ] as there is no app in here.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bobtentpeg:
Sounds like someone had fun downloading a lot of apps? :p
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] stshannon:
Ahh yes, i should have had it [REQ] vs [APP], you are right. I cannot find a way to change the thread title tho, or i would happily.

<smirk> links are not allowed on here for that sort of thing, but sufficed to say, i use two websites to <cough> obtain <cough> my apps.

Of that 4.7gb of .apk's I'm sure at least 30-40% of that (hell quite possibly more) is outdated versions. Just too much hassle to manually sort through them all.

[Droid Incredible General] Deleted member 2027727:
So, I'm completely new to CDMA phones and Verizon in general but I realized that when doing a PRL update (*228, Opt 2) the phone actually reboots and one of the messages that comes up on the screen is "SPL unlocked" when the music starts playing. Not sure if this may help in rooting or not, but I figured I would throw it out there.
[Droid Incredible General] IncredibleDoes:
can you walk me threw this process?

if you have an unlocked spl then root is a lot more accessible

EDIT: didnt work for me... I did the *288 unlocked spl but when trying to fastboot flash recovery recovery.img says "signature verification fails"
[Droid Incredible General] Reddog80p:
I think it only does that when phone is being programmed. All phones do this even dumb phones.
[Droid Incredible General] Hero_Over:
yeah this is for programming but i was thinking that when the prompt says unlocked spl, possibly if you pull battery the phone spl will not be relocked.
[Droid Incredible General] drewlamo1:
when i got the SPL unlocked message i just hit end call.

but now the phone wont mount sdcard or debugging when plugged into pc.

i can still make calls though.

im assuming a reboot will fix the issue but that will probably relock the phone?

thought id play with it, but if SPL unlocked helps root then the disabled debugging seems like a good lead, like htc blocked that path by disabling pc connections lol.
[Droid Incredible General] IncredibleDoes:
i tried this but it didnt work.
[Droid Incredible General] Hero_Over:
have you tried flashing the recovery inside of a proper signed update.zip? have you tried to flash an update through recovery (signed update)? can you relink me to the latest system dump (605.2)?

seems like me you and binny are the only ones working on this. and i honestly havent worked on it much at all
[Droid Incredible General] fallingup:
Guys, this is not gonna give us root. This is how the PRL is downloaded to the phone for programming, and as said before, this happens on all, ALL, CDMA phones.
[Droid Incredible General] mattguyver:
SPL (service programming lock) is just a very simple verification method CDMA devices use to make sure the caller information (mdn,min,sys id,etc) is bring programmed by the proper service instead of some rogue server
[Droid Incredible General] g00s3y:
i wanted to wait to see how long this thread would have gone on for... :D i was getting a few laughs out of it already. Especially the pull out the battery when it says SPL Unlocked lol...
[Droid Incredible General] Hero_Over:
this is my first cdma device. spl is a secondary program loader. this pertains to radio,recovery and boot img. i thought they had to contact my radio chip to program it. thats why i thought it was promising. can you show me where i can find the definition of spl you mention?
[Droid Incredible General] Deleted member 2027727:
Right, I only posted this because I thought the same thing. I've always had GSM devices and my Palm Pre Plus (CDMA) that I had for a few days before this didn't have to reboot to update the PRL. So, when I saw "SPL unlocked", the first thing I remembered was the SPL in HTC Windows Mobile Devices.

So, I just came here to ask, figured it was nothing.
[Nexus One General] milton007:
:eek::eek::eek:I for the life of me cant figure out why my camera is completely dead! I have FULLY wiped all caches,everything under 'WIPE' via AMONS and even formatted my SD card as well as trying an alternate SD card(both 8GB--C6speed)--never had a problem w either card on ANY ROM...ALL OF A SUDDEN the past 2days my camera goes to a FULL BLACK SCREEN,when pressing the CAMERA icon. Occasionally the taskbar will remain uptop but will timeout when screen display shutsoff. Now if i launch CAMERA via DESIRE ROM(KING),ill get the notice about clicking trackball to resume camera but as soon as i click it,the message dissapears and the screen will go back to black screen again...and repeat. I SWEAR i have DONE MULTIPLE COMPLETE WIPES AND REFORMATS so im left to believe its THE HARDWARE itself! CAN ANYBODY PLEASE LEND ME A HAND IF the similar problemhas occured...On the Nandroid backups that ive restored from FULLY FUNCTIONING bkups,if i launch NEXUS TORCH it will say CANNOT ACCESS LED---this is THE ONLY info besides the "camera wake message"mentioned earlier that i can provide. Thanks in advance and pleas edont flame for NOT being in Q&A bc this is more of a DEV related restore question.

**oh and BTW--I DID TRY TO INSTALL the DESIRE R2 cam fix and does nothing. I tried it when all was working fine early in the week and it did nothing to help FLASH timing for me,so i NAN restored back to prior state and CAMERA continued working until about THURSDAY night--regardless--PHONE is in OUT OF BOX STATE--MINUS UNLOCKED and it STILL doesnt work!---PEACE and Happy Mothers Day to any Mothers out there in XDA world!

***Captain Obvious to the Rescue!!***

Your hardware has malfunctioned. Contact HTC for a repair.
[Nexus One General] ghostrida:
1. you may have a broken camera, try a stock rom

2. your caps lock button is definitely broken

3. you posted in the wrong section
[Nexus One General] milton007:
1. i should have known you were from Philly and cant read--I TRIED STOCK ROM

2. CAPS is to put highlights on key terms so idiots dont read over the fact that I DID TRY STOCK ROM---see how that helps?

3. Thanks for your informative responses---any suggestions from CAPTAIN OBVIOUS how to get service on a ROOTED device without being charged full price on the phone?? Ahhh--thought not!--So i tried here to see if anyone else had similar situation. AGAIN-thanks for your help as well SERIAL TOON--geez
[Nexus One General] BlueScreenJunky:
If it's a hardware failure they won't charge you.
[Nexus One General] joshlusignan:
I think it will help if you go through Google Cust service first...they will end up redirecting you to HTC repair. Provide all truthful information on your issue, proving that you have done some legitimate trouble shooting and they will realize that it is a hardware issue, not the ROM flashing or bootloader unlocking that caused the problem. Someone else on the xda forums had a rooted phone with bluetooth problem and was able to send to HTC for repair for free...with a 4 day turnaround!

Good luck!
[Nexus One General] milton007:
What do you base this on...Heresay?

I didnt intend to sound rude,im just a little pissed right now..I Only ask bc i already had an issue in January days after receipt of phone. Issue was solved by sending me a new battery bc other was causing random shutdowns (ive since forwarded this info to another XDAmember that had exact same issue and they give him replacement phone at 1st but issue continued to occur--i told him about my story after he posted his problem, he contacted them this weekend and confirmed with me today that a new battery was on the way..see my public IM's for info). Anyway,when i was dealing with the battery issue they said they would definately NOT be able to fix under warranty bc the phone is rooted and unlocked. I can attest to the few people on here that said theyve been successful in such cases,but either way,IVE ALREADY STATED that i tried the DESIRE R2 camera kernal to see if that helps,so im not going to be dishonest and tell them i havent tried anything other than custom roms. Again..positive suggestions or similar experiences with warranty info would be appreciated....trollers looking for a funny post or to degrade people can eat one!
[Nexus One General] milton007:
Thanks JOSH, ill look into it tommorrow--as i stated tho--i feel im being dishonest for trying the DESIRE R2 cam and saying that they should cover it---uninformed people will assume THAT couldve caused it,even though i used phone afterwards for a few days w no side effects
[Nexus One General] jlevy73:
Hey Milton, like others have mentioned in here might want to try flash back to stock and seeing if the problem persists. If it does then your looking at a hardware problem and you should contact HTC/google for repair.
[Nexus One General] milton007:
Yea...i was thinking that from get go--(hardware prob). Im on cheesy STOCK ROM right now and have been for cpl hrs...but its obvious its gotta be hardware...NOW comes the crappy part of trying to explain it to HTC when attempting to get an RMA!--Yee Haa!:rolleyes:
[Nexus One General] milton007:
MOD PLEASE CLOSE OR DELETE---THANKS!:o

[Nexus One General] milton007:
Okay,,,this is weird!!..My TORCH hadnt been working at all either, the whole time ive had the camera problem. Now ,the torch will work for ONE TURN ON, then if i launch CAMERA, the cam still doesnt work. i have to HOME and HOME only to get back to home screen..BACK ARROW does nothing except vibrate,indicating touch response. If i then re-launch TORCH, it doesnt work....!??SOMETHING is ODD--and im split whether its hardware- or some sorta SYSTEM file that stays stuck even after all STOCK FLASHES and everything!--again,reminder..the LED TORCH hadnt worked up until this point--unit has NEVER been dropped,slid out of pocket from 1foot high onto superthick carpet,so i doubt its a loose internal cable...Hmmm...
[Nexus One General] mikroN1:
That seriously hurts my eyes to look at. Try using proper punctuation and grammar. It's very simple and still gets your point across.

As for your phone. Call Google which will probably have you call HTC. People have gotten their rooted devices fixed for free if it's a genuine hardware problem and nothing caused from the rooting process.
[Nexus One General] faraz1992:
You should send it to HTC for repair. Charging fee or not, but thats the only option to you right now because its a hardware failure.
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
I was thinking the exact same thing, don't know where he must have learned how to type. Then you criticize people from Philly, or whatever its called somewhere, for not knowing how to read. I would say mirror that advice and learn how to type.. type properly.
[Nexus One General] milton007:
Torch will work until camera app is used then it wont work again until i reboot. After reboot, torch will work ONLY on regular/lower setting. MAX brightness will not work. Toggle back to LOW setting and torch will work again. Im going to try what DOUG suggested bc that is the only thing i havent tried yet...but the way torch and camera are acting up and requiring reboots keeps me willing to try software tricks first...WHAT ties the TORCH's HI setting to the camera app adn yet keeps the LOW setting seperate!??..ill try the TORCH dev real quick for some insight on how the two work hand in hand.Thanks for anyone using their time to help instead of criticize. Sorry for mocking ones ability to read but i was quite peeved@the time bc i lost a major function on my phone.My apologies to all:D
[Nexus One General] d0ugie:
Seriously Milton? More?

The attitude, hostility and the caps are not welcome here.

Along with the others I have no sympathy for you. Learn proper grammar and get a better attitude.
[Nexus One General] milton007:
Troll much? Go tell your mother happy mothers day if you have that much time to pull up old posts from people asking questions in a 'kernal forum' about basics. Basics that anyone should know, if not they stand a much better chance on damging their phone. It wasnt being ignorant. Since you know everything there is to know about everyones posts, tell me where the topic dealing with my specific camera issue has been previously posted and ill be glad to read and search thru that forum. I wasnt the one asking questions about something mentioned in the OP (uh oh i used caps--oh geesh-someones gonna be saaad now!)and numerous pages before. Im sorry i dont spend all my life on forums to know that only words approved for caps are indeed CAPITALIZED. Petty little boy-and by the way, i was trying to stress your good advice by typing your name in caps so people would credit you with the help-Sorry to have taken your precious time sir. Good day.
[Nexus One General] mortzz:
Caps means shouting in forum etiquette. It makes your posts seem extremely immature and irritating.

It's a hardware, your only option is to contact HTC through Google.
