You know, I had both of those and then yesterday I put the Swedish R2BA020 and the battery saving is really crazy. Even this one has Widgets and Apps which are not in english but it is well worth it. Decision is yours, either you can wait till a X10a firmware comes out or go straight to R2BA020, I wouldn't go with Brazilian Version(R1FB001).
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] coop2003:
Thanks for quick reply ....so if I go for R2BA020....once x10a firmware comes out...ill have to go back to 10a firmware knowing that the R2BA020 is for 10i... one more thing...does it improve the hearing volume when talking to someone?

Sent from my X10a
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Nimche:
Not sure about hearing, since I use bluetooth but there is a log in the General people keep with the changes. Look into the General forum.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] McKebapp:
As this thread is already hijacked...

Did anybody find a workaround for the SMS issue? I mean the "countrycode destroys SMS threads thing". Removing the countrycode is no solution for me. I'm using the Telenor branded version at the moment. Is it fixed in the O2 version?

Umm, and does anybody also experience random restarts? Never had that before.

Sygic also freezes randomly...

Anyone else with that problem?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ixemun:
no dice, I tried removing the country code, change the "+" to "00", I have yet to try the O2 version so we'll wait for someone to tell us that.

and while trying the firmware, I get unexpected force close on ADW Launcher from time to time while pressing the home button, I went back to previous firmware because the SMS/Contact issue bothers me as I'm a heavy SMS user.

A question tho, is jerpelea planning on making a custom ROM out of R2BA020 or straight ahead on to froyo? last I read he was compiling froyo
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ptesmoke:
i do not have the contact problem or random restarts, im using telenor version. though the contact thing may be because im in north america? i havent noticed any issues so far....

i may however flash to the o2 version tonight...

cheers
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Nimche:
No, I have not yet but battery is awesome. I had it unpluged since 8 this morning and now its almost 8 in the evening(12 hours) got email and some phone calls and internet usage and app store its down to 86%. I have never owned a phone like this. What a phone or what a firmware.:D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] coop2003:
I will try tonight and see what I get with battery life

I originally had RF w/e 14 version (Rogers/Canada)

Now I have RB2 German o2 version!!!

I can already feel the difference. More responsive and smoother scrolling and touch!!

I don't have to touch A or P button couple of times for it to register any more!

And there are no useless widgets! I'm loving it!! hehehe

Tried to Flash the R2BA020 for X10i without success :-( neither with Flashtool or Omnius it works. Both give the "fantastic" yellow exclamation Mark. I was able to restore to R1FB001 with Omnius which worked without Problem.

@jerpelea ... can you check the File if there is maybe some kind of error ? As i see in the Thread many are getting a brick when flashing the R2BA020 with the Flashtool.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ahsengah:
Hey guys !

I flashed my phone to the o2 branded firmware via SEUS. First time I tried, I got a yellow exclamation mark. However, I just tried a second time and it worked haha.

There is a great amount of difference, makes the user interface a much more friendly and smoother experience.

I have one question to those who have already upgraded their firmware:

What program did you use to back up everything ? I used mybackup (free edition) and it works great, backs up like EVERYTHING, apps + MORE. My problem is that once I restored all the apps, marketplace doesn't detect them, hence I cannot get any notifcations regarding update releases. Does anyone know how to fix this without manually installing everything again ? Or anyone faced the same situation as me ?

Thanks :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] MeZmeriZe_:
Hi all,

Just wanted to report, the old R1FB001 got me a Quadrant standard score of 433 and the new R2BA020 gets me 447 so a bit of a spike... I imagine the spike would be huge to people on teh old 014 firmware.

My goodness this one is filled with cr@p though... I'm trying to decide if I can put up with this till root is out and I can get rid of it all or swap to the O2 one now.

Have to wait and see, but the speed of my X10 is just about identical to the HTC desire now in Quadrant (I have class 6 SD card too).. and that has version 2.x android.. so the updates are really paying off... I've been wondering if the improvements are because SE have been backporting improvements from the 2.x series.. as the difference is quite astounding to when I first got the phone. (014 firmware)

good stuff.. hope the root works on this version as I'd hate to have to go back to 014 to get root. (but I would)

cheers

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] coop2003:
you think you can help me i also tried but when i turned on the phone i get the yellow exclamation mark as well.. how can i go back to oringal x10a software. where can i get Omnius software that u speak of....plz help:(

Update: i unbrick my phone back with old software.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Sibix1:
I'm running the O2 one, theres 3 apps, the Navigation one can be uninstalled though :) I do not have the contacts bug with this one either, as I did with the Telenor one, which is basically a piece of adware.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mayamo:
I just manually installed them again...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ptesmoke:
just about to switch to the O2 version here, sounds like its cleaner, probably a few less apps running in background as well.

will post back later tomorrow about battery consumption on O2, id say its about the same with the R2 telenor as i was getting on the generic R1FB001....

yes both the same but different type files for different flashing methods!!!

Still no one know why we cannot flash the lastest fw with omnius? The older version works fine? They have the samr amount of files in??

An ideas welcome.

Cheers
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ptesmoke:
i think Jerpelea is uploading the SEUS files for R2 O2 version....

currently the one i found gives me an error when i try to repair with SEUS, but maybe its because i need to revert back to x10a fw first....
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] TechGuru_x10:
@jerpelea : Will you be uploading the o2 version for Flash tool as well. as the SEUS debranding does not work for me/////
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ptesmoke:
so far SEUS could not do R2 for me, i could not for the lfie of me get flashtool to work, so i used omnious to get back to R1 x10a FW, hoping now SEUS will let me debrand to R2.....will keep you updated...long night....
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ptesmoke:
so far it looks as if pc companion is backing up my R1 FW, should be able to debrand with no issues to O2 R2. i think if you flash an x10a to an x10i FW pc companion will no longer repair..i dunno how ,but i flashed back to x10a and now it is repairing...

let u know how it goes.

When will the Generic HK R2BA020 be released?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] xd4d3v:
whats the difference between the o2 and telenor versions of R2BA020 ?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ojpd:
They're basically the same IMHO.

O2 version only has RAN and Telmap Navigator (Can be uninstalled) plus a shortcut to O2's website on it... The Telenor one is full of other apps and widgets from telenor.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] AndyD777:
I have use both and Telenor release is noticeable quicker and its also quicker to boot. :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] xd4d3v:
hmm what to do...

clean version or faster :-{
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ojpd:
@aussiebuddha

Just to add to your confusion:

I on the other hand prefer the O2 one. I kept getting random lags on the Telenor one.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] uabtodd:
quick question: If I install the r2bao2o (X10i - Shipped (FOR SEUS DEBRAND METOD)

Telenor WWE_R2BA020 or

O2 WWE_R2BA020 ) onto my x10a using SEUS, can I reinstall my current x10a firmware later down the road using SEUS as long as I keep the current files, or will the SEUS not be able to reflash to x10a on old firmware after you flash to x10i.

Just wondering if I flash now using SEUS, will I have to do something using a different flashing program later. I have debranded my phone and flashed the R1fb001 using pc companion/SEUS and it was easy enough, not sure if i want to mess with any other flashing programs or not.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] gulpreet:
I know that there's this method to flash back to X10a firmware X10a flashed With X10i firmware back to X10a. I'm not sure if it works with the newer update that you're talking about. Anyone else know if it does? I would like to know this as well.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] MeZmeriZe_:
I can now answer the question about which is quicker.. R2BA020

o2 or telenor

I had the Telenor one on since last night.. gave it a benchmark when it was nice and clean and after killing all tasks. for a score of 447.

(Should add that I'm using "Quadrant Standard" from the market to test. And also that the only difference between my x10i and anyone elses is that I've put a class 6, 16gb sdcard in it.)

About an hour ago I swapped to the O2 version, followed the exact same proceeding and got a score of 449.

That makes perfect sense, firmware identical, but the Telenor one is running more crap... crap slows it down slightly.

The short answer, is to use the O2 one as it's not loaded up with crap..

Having said that, either of those roms is fast compared to R1FB001 or older.. R1FB001 scored 433 in the same test, and it felt fast to me at the time.

Having root on this rom would be pretty good to do until someone gets 2.2 roms to load. This is the best 1.6 experience I've seen.

cheers

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] MeZmeriZe_:
This time around I used PC Companion...

follow this thing:

http://www.xperiax10.net/2010/04/14/debrand-your-xperia-x10-tutorial/comment-page-1/#comment-309

The thing is, that each time you flash an updated using SE update or PC companion, you essentially have to flash your phone twice... once for the software to refresh it's copy of the firmware (it will insist even if you have it there already) and once to put your newer version on.. pain in the but.. the only reason I've not been using the java tool is that I've been swapping the usb cable from port to port so often since I got the phone that I have more than half a dozen matches to the usb device id and I just haven't gotten around to deleting them.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] figofigo:
thats's mean that o is better than Telenor ???
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ojpd:
Thanks for the info bout the app. Downloaded it and ran a full test and I got the same score of 449 with my x10 @German O2 R2BA020

:D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] HunteronX:
The main problem with R2BA020 is that many market apps are missing. Is there any way without root, to be able to download them?

(I previously used an X10i UK firmware)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] FRiKiNFRoG:
I have some issues with games on R2BA020... Some menus/backgrounds of some game are zoomed in... Some still works flawlessly but here are some games that I have issues with right now:

Space Physics

Armageddon Squadron

Assassin's creed is smaller (total height/width of screen not taken, it used to be full height when holding sideways)

Block Breaker Deluxe (Same as AC, but holding normally)

These are some examples, lots of them still works like I said, don't know what happened...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] HunteronX:
How did you get assassin's creed?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] FRiKiNFRoG:
It's the non 3d version, and the Internet is full of good stuff, you know? ;)

Edit: And they used to work fine on the older debranded generic canadian firmware.

hey guys i have a strange problem

my timescape is not working !!!! when i sign in with facebook and twitter it says conecting to server then nothing happened
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] natedastate:
Guys im really pissed off of trying to flash with seus, it doesnt ****in work 4 me... >_<

i read somewhere that i have to go like this:

-open the "db" directory and replace the downloaded ROM's that i want to flash with the ones in the "db" folder, and ive to rename the both downloaded files to these two files which i had before in the "db" folder, then start SEUS and then it should update or something, but in my case it appears always a god damned error before updating " Update missed", im not able to update any more, what if the nexr update comes officially in SEUS, am i not able to update my device ?!?!?!?!

i got now the WWE_R2B(shipped) on ma device with flashtool, i got on ma pc my old official unbranded for free devices ROM (.16 Rom, 2 files, 1 111mb the other 16mb)

Pls what should i do....
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] FRiKiNFRoG:
Did you backup the original file? if not try to find them in here if they're available
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] FRiKiNFRoG:

Are you sure about this, i ran the test using same software and the result was 445... mine is still 016....
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ptesmoke:
If you flashed to x10i from x10a i can confirm that if u want to debrand again to an x10i fw you need to flash to an x10a fw with omnious before pc companion will debrand again!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] jerpelea:
for the iminent release of root you need

to download BOTH

1.flash tool

2.r2ba020 (for flash tool)

3.r1ea018 (for flash tool or seus)(SO-01B ROM)

instructions will follow

we are at final stage of refining it

setup is easy and taked below 5 min
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] j4mm3r:
Drooling....:p

So do we need both the ROMs or is it just one of them? Nevermind... ill just get them both!!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dan-htc-touch:
doh! anyone have any mirrors to those files? I dislike hotfile
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] j4mm3r:

But anyways... the instructions are still not here. So I wait patiently.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ixemun:
I take it we'll start off from r1ea018 and ended up with a root r2ba020? if so, is it possible to use a different firmware instead of telenor r2ba020 due to contact bugs some of us are experiencing?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] j4mm3r:
Ok, I have all the files now. Need Jerpelea's permission to mirror...

Can I?

Plus, need instructions for a fast safe and free non/crappy upload site and instructions? Anyone?

I will ask Mr. Google in the meanwhile...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Nimche:
I am affair that if you mirror his files he won't release the instruction. He asked for his links to not get mirrored.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] j4mm3r:
Well... I'm not planning to do anything without his permission. It was just an offer for help. I totally respect his wishes.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Nimche:

well..we are rooting so after we have it rooted we can just install custom roms... which should mean that it doesnt matter whether we are using telnor or o2

guys i have a big big big problem that my signal is veryyyy bad after the update

and sometime while making a call my singal goes x and no signal !!!

what can i do ???

i am from egypt vodafone
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Nimche:
You didn't tell us which version you updated to?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] figofigo:
i have Telenor WWE_R2BA020
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Higgins12:
Nope you wrong, for now custom roms can't be installed. It is "only" root for now, custom roms might come at some point later when the guys find a way around the bootloader.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] figofigo:
i download o2 first and i have the same problem then now telenor and also have the same problem very bad signal !!!

although before (R1FA016) it was perfeeeect
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mayamo:
Then what's the point of rooting right now? (don't mean sound rude, but i'm genuinely asking cuz i thought the benefit of rooting = installing custom rom)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Higgins12:
Installing custom roms isnt the only advantage of having root. With having root you are able to install programs who request for root permissions (SetCPU as sample) + to remove the SE Crap , Moxier , Timescape etc. whatever you want except you like those Programs then just leave it on the device.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dan-htc-touch:
that is one of the benefits... simply allowing root on current rom opens a whole other world of possibilities though, like removing timescape, or underclocking the cpu(maybee, might need kernel support for that) the list could really go on for a while, that's the two main ones I'm hoping for :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Nimche:
I have been trying to download

WWE_R1EA018 - http://hotfile.com/dl/50292524/c012c...8-sin.zip.html

and I get Archive error. I have downloaded twice so far. Anyone with any suggestion?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Balur:
Rooting means that we have full Root access to the OS. It means we can uninstall all the crap (Timescape, Mediascape, Moxier), it means we can run programs that require root access (Wifi tethering, overclock / underclock the phone, install apps to sd card).

To install custom ROMs they need to hack the bootloader so they can either sign the customer ROM files, or make it so signing is not necessary, that is a completely different problem.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ojpd:
Anybody have any mirrors for the files??? My ISP doesn't like hotfile... Right now I'm downloading @ 4kb/s :((

is anyone really good with flashtool? its the only tool i havent got to work, first it wouldnt load java, but i got that fixed by adding the PATH in ENVIROMENT variables, now it looks like it doesnt see my device which makes me wonder if my device ID is correct, and i have 3 that i found in regedit, i tried all three and still doesnt connect, im going to delete all the usb address entries that i find and start fresh, hopefully that will do it. but i was wondering if theres someone in here whos used it extensivly that could help us all get it working properly as it looks like we will need it for root.

thanks guys,

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ptesmoke:
Device instance path in device manager does show something like the string we are looking for but i dont know if its the right one, and differs from the one i find with the search string mentioned in the how-to.

does anyone , or jerpelea, know how we can test flashtool for connection, proper setup, without flashing our device??

There is no CRC error, i downloaded it few minutes ago and it works ;)

Could you please release a O2 WWE_R2BA020 for flashtool?

I guess some would prefer it instead of that Telenor Version...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ptesmoke:
please chk your PM bud,

also can you give a little guidance with flashtool??

oh and O2 version is working far better for me than the telenor version, better battery life for sure, and snappier than the telenor as well.

quick headsup,

SO-01B (FOR FLASH TOOL)

WWE_R1EA018 - http://hotfile.com/dl/50292524/c012c...8-sin.zip.html

is corrupted, unexpected end of archive, and downloaded 4 times same prob...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Nimche:
I did a very same thing. But then I thought this might help, and I guess it did. Right click on the file and use extract to and it works:confused:

I don't know if it is fine or what? I got only 5 files inside that folder.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ptesmoke:
i can exxtract it too but its missing system, userdata, ....i blame hotfile...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ojpd:
^^

If it says CRC error then something is wrong. We'll be using these files to root our X10s I just wouldn't risk it...

If I were you I'd delete the old file, run ccleaner or something like it and then re-download.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ptesmoke:
did all that everytime, its corrupted on hotfile...without a doubt
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] IxXxI:
nothing is corrupt. We have only to wait for the

instructions
