[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kradovan:
this last update is fantastic (X10i 024 to 026)

This last update is unreal after 14 hours of normal use battery is at 90% !!! :)

What I mean by normal use some phone calls about 10 2-3 min each

WiFi on all the time and some web browsing email reading and SE sinc

adding some applications and testing them and uninstalling some of them.

I do not use G3 or UMTS (not paying for something that I do not need most of the day I'm covered with WiFi )

Great Work and many thanks!!!

There is one thing that is missing and that is clear how to do it.

So I'll tried to describe process step by step button press by button press.

This will be for X10i users on Windows XP

Conditions for this update to work without yellow triangle (I had my fair share of them)

1. Why windows XP simple it is 32bit old and stable and it works without a hitch.

2. Installed all necessary software like java with all updates SEUS PCCompanion (from SE site do not run updates from inside applications just basic original SE software)

3. Rooted X10i R2BA024 (if not go to first post and root your phone 2 sep procedure remember this 2 step procedure is destructive backup your data first(learned that the hard way))

4. connect phone to pc so all drivers from SEUS and PCCompanion are instaled

5. remember which USB port is used do not change it (changing USB port will initiate driver installation and wee don't want that )

Steps on how to update from R2BA024 to R2BA026

PREPARATION

1. go to post #4

Download

UPDATE FROM ROOTED R2BA024 TO ROOTED R2BA026 X10i ONLY

and

R2BA026 FIX

2. Extract contents of UPDATE_024_026_x10i.rar to your C:/ drive

you will find C:/UPDATE_024_026_x10i folder on your disk.

3. Now we need to insert R2BA026 FIX prior to proceeding with update. Extract r2ba26_fix.rar to your C:/ drive you will find C:/r2ba26_fix folder on your disk. Now wee need to copy C:/r2ba26_fix/10i/build.prop to C:/UPDATE_024_026_x10i/UPDATE/build.prop

In process of copying you need to overwrite existing build.prop

This concludes preparation
