When's this update going to be releasedd!!! I've been on the forum checking throughout the day constantly for 2 weeks now. I can't help it either, it's only an update!!

:(
[XPERIA X10 General] aussiesausage:
sunday evening for nordic

if you cant wait just flash to a nordic ROM, see android development thread for it :)
[XPERIA X10 General] mrtim123:
Like i said. I will happily believe him if I hear it come strait from SE themselves. We are a hacking community here... its wat we do. Why do we not think that we can't get around something as trivial as this ill never know. And btw, I'm not in the slightest bit panicking...tbh i don't give a crap anymore. But there are users and readers on here that take everything as gospel. Don't cause alarm because you believes something will happen. This is not directed at anyone in particular. Its beer time so I'm off to the real world for a while. Cya!
[XPERIA X10 General] foxhound494:
Any news on the UK update? I was led to believe it was before the end of October for UK Generic.

Either way whatever heres first I'll flash to region.
[XPERIA X10 General] epinion:
I think SE could check our imei because it tell our phone region. But not our IP. My phone is in europe region for example, but I still get the update 026 (I'm at Indonesia now).

Just might be, just might be, it's useless to change your fw from other region. Try to check your imei at numberingplans.com

Well it's only my opinion.
[XPERIA X10 General] the_ahmadzais:
I have Rogers X10a and I've debranded it and also root it. Would I get 2.1?
[XPERIA X10 General] zoegiex:
so...

i hope it comes to Indonesia as soon as possible
[XPERIA X10 General] I7redd:
Everyone's entitled to their opinion. Totalperception likewise, just as much as you.

However, I beg to differ. Of all the people who have posted in the past week on this thread, Totalperception gets my vote for most well spoken individual, with very well thought out case.

We don't know each others background experience. Our previous experience with Sony, or SE, will set our views in different directions. Lack of proof of a future event bears no weight on the matter. We're actually basing our view on PAST events, and in the light of RECENT events.

I have no experience with previous SE phones like X1, but i've read widely about PS3 hacking (Linux etc), and have personal experience from PSP hacking days. What Totalperception is talking about is

an exact template

of events based on what happened with those platforms, overlayed on what's currently happening with X10's firmware lockdown.

People all around here are wishfully flashing Nordic roms on their phones, and you think this is normal behavior in the Android community?

(just my 2c)

[XPERIA X10 General] wiedz:
Don't worry.. it will be a COD.

Atau lewat rekber lol.
[XPERIA X10 General] alankstiyo:
sony mexico said that the roll out has started but they haven't said anything about a date, sadly for latin america it depends entirely on my carrier (telcel) so be ready guys cause they just put a custom boot, 4 apps and remove some
[XPERIA X10 General] Lakata:
Well lets hope Se will not let the branded phones in the other countries wait too long :) I`v spoked with SE and because my network provider here in Bulgaria is in companion with Vodafone they told me i`ll get the update as soon as is released for Vodafone witch is good :) if its true
[XPERIA X10 General] zoegiex:
COD will be good...

:p
[XPERIA X10 General] pabling19:
It's android dude, it's meant to be open
[XPERIA X10 General] alankstiyo:
it is possible that with all the mods that sony made, they will say this android version is owned by sony
[XPERIA X10 General] elvish:
Thats probably why it took so long to come out pissing it away on making sure it wasnt open to anyone but them LOL
[XPERIA X10 General] pabling19:
If that is the case then that really, really sucks.

It like buying an Android phone that has the limitations of the iOS.
[XPERIA X10 General] Findee:
That is only true if none of the code is the same.
[XPERIA X10 General] Visspui:
first of all, windows xp was good stuff

I had knee surgery today, when I finally got out and into the car, took my phone out. In the corner there was the update icon, and being still half out if it, I was like Oh snap! Canada did s sneak attack and its out early!

Then I realized it was just for an app, and that happy moment was taken from me.

Oh well
[XPERIA X10 General] x10Mike:
SE coming out saying things like that only make devs more determined to smash their sw. Many have tried and failed miserably such as Microsoft, Adobe, Steinberg etc.

Just a matter of time
[XPERIA X10 General] ptesmoke:
Lol I did this this morning still half asleep, ended up being a battery indicator update lolz.
[XPERIA X10 General] cvchetan:
Well a logical question for you my friend..

What if i lived in a nordic country and originally got my phone from there, and now I am transfered to another country for good which is not nordic..

As per your ip check theory I will have to go back to the country of purchase and update it?

Mate please put some logic behind your arguments when you try to confuse ppl..

There is nothing that sony will do an ip check etc etc..

Chetan

Please, thou protest too much. You're the definition of a troll. You're as transparent as fm1776.
[XPERIA X10 General] adithefunkid:
Do flashing my phone cause any harm...???

M new to this flashing stuff...

Any help is highly appreciated....
[XPERIA X10 General] hs.dreamer:
depends, how you do it .... but keep in mind, that you can nearly always switch phone to flashing mode, even if it wont start any more, and run SEUS again.

though that might not help you, if you tried to switch X10i hardware to X10a and vice versa (they utilise different frequencies)
[XPERIA X10 General] nicpol7:
no..it will updated with the nordic 2.1 in whatever country you are
[XPERIA X10 General] elnino54:
Why would SE give 2 hoots about a minority of users that will instist on getting the update first by reflashing thier phones to the corresponding first released FW region? I really don't think they would be that intent. Sure, they want to protect thier ROMs and Intellectual property but that is probably the extent of it. It's not like a Playstation where they stand to loose money in game sale revenue if the device is compromised by 'hackers'.

For that matter, why would they care at all about you running different region firmware?

There are only 2 reasons for this - Different regions have different laws and standards (FCC etc). If they put a mechanism in place to make sure each region only gets it's own updates, that should be sufficient. They have then met legal requirements. If someone wishes to reverse-engineer thier system, that is out of thier hands and they can not control what someone does with a handset once it leaves the factory.

The second reason i can see is that it avoids thier servers crashing under the load of a few million people trying to update thier phones at the same time. It seems more logical to me that the only reason for them to use IMEI and IP information would purely be to limit traffic, not the update itself.

I have run a wireshark session while running the latest SEUS and all it sends is the firmware region code, not the IMEI so i think it's bollocks. It does however use a fancy DNS setup where it seems to resolve to an IP that is geographically close to you - Probably how they spread the load.

Short story - I think it's a load of crap they will limit FW release by IMEI and IP....
[XPERIA X10 General] PartyVirginX10:
It says brand "O2 pay monthly"

Am I screwed?

Please answer
[XPERIA X10 General] Soutaiseiriron:
Thanks mate for clearing that up, I have to admit I was a little worried. I got trolled... not cool lol
[XPERIA X10 General] darkmax1974:
Where'd you get that crap of an info from? That (" they will limit FW release by IMEI and IP") is almost as dumb as it sounds.

Hmm.... Looks like the exponential growth has slowed down considerably.
[XPERIA X10 General] Clyzm:
To everyone saying that for whatever reason SE will block non-nordic phones from flashing the 2.1 firmware: You're full of ****.

SE has not only not been blocking the firmwares up until now (20, 23, 24, 26 etc.) from other regions (any phone has been able to flash any firmware), but they don't even have a reason to do so. SE has absolutely no reason or incentive to region lock a firmware update. It creates more work for themselves at absolutely no benefit.
[XPERIA X10 General] AssyrianBLOOD:
well that prolly caused the delay
[XPERIA X10 General] tookieboy:
i think you have to read the words before. include the words before, "I think it's a load of crap" means he doesn't think they will limit it by IMEI and IP.
[XPERIA X10 General] mbrad_26:
It is only one way to get the truth. This sunday when the rool out begin we will no if that is true or not. This week were a lot of speculations about this update. Someone speculated that the roll out will bigen on Monday 25....and it never hapend....So lets wait one more dasy and we will know the TRUTH:D
[XPERIA X10 General] samy1991:
But this time its offizial on the se website ..tomorow for nordic and monday the rest of europe
[XPERIA X10 General] chaurjyh:
I beg to differ... its gonna be tomorrow evening for nordic, tomorrow night for the pirate party aka the rest of the world.... :D
[XPERIA X10 General] Azru:
Please i don't have the time to read all the posts :

[XPERIA X10 General] npk21:

i guess only for nordic region!!!
[XPERIA X10 General] o0k00l:
U having UK firm ??
[XPERIA X10 General] Vilam:
Too bad, I'll got to flash a nordic firmware today :O
[XPERIA X10 General] Android>iPhone:
I have another question about flashing a UK phone with Nordic firmware:

Say I debrand my Phone (currently Orange branded) using a Nordic Generic X10i Firmware (R2BA026) file, will I be able to receive the update on Sunday?
[XPERIA X10 General] 3dawg:
Hey buddy if you need a hand with that I can help.
[XPERIA X10 General] npk21:
.........................

i had but later i flashed to nordic firmware :)
[XPERIA X10 General] npk21:
................................

hmmmm....maybe...lets c on sunday, whichever area gets first we will flash our firmware to that region :)
[XPERIA X10 General] jayman1986:
I don't know why everyone is just jumping to Nordic, for all we know UK may get on MONDAY. Why not wait for 1 day and see so you are not constantly reflashing in vain (i can see many people switching back to UK Rom if its released on Monday)
[XPERIA X10 General] 3dawg:
I see, but is there a difference between nordic and uk rom? Whats the point flashing back if you gain/lose nothing? I.e exactly the same.?
[XPERIA X10 General] h.boushi1987:
can I ask you people what is the differences between nordik genric and uk genric roms is the list of supported languages will change??

Sent from my X10i using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
[XPERIA X10 General] Android>iPhone:
Yh but my on is not customized, it is still branded to Orange and I doubt I will get the update on Monday with them, furthermore I believe it will take them ages to realease it.

I'm still on R2BA020 software while many other networks have had 26 for a long time.

If my phone wasn't branded to Orange I would probably wait the extra day and leave as UK.
[XPERIA X10 General] elnino54:
Post 5488 in this thread someone mentioned it....
[XPERIA X10 General] npk21:
................................

can u surely confirm that uk people will get update on monday?:)
[XPERIA X10 General] tready:
Iv just flashed to nordic using the root explorer app method theres a guide about 15 pages bk its simple to do but u need root and the app that costs 2.50 from market i already had it so as for diffrences nothing diffrent from uk generic except english lang is the 4th option rather than the first option in lang settings
[XPERIA X10 General] Vtune:
Wow, I thought this thread would be calmed down now that the date of the roll out is known, but no. There were a lot of posts that I needed to read before posting this.

Too bad it will be later I suppose for Belgium :(
[XPERIA X10 General] Sahandroid:
The first things I will do when I get 2.1 are:

1. Restore my contacts from my backup

2. Download Launcher Pro Plus!!

3. Download Vlingo Voice!!

C ya after the update,

[XPERIA X10 General] npk21:

[XPERIA X10 General] chaurjyh:

Tell frankly

How many of you have flashed there phone to nordic firmware?:D:D
[XPERIA X10 General] SK_007:
I have flashed to Nordic firmware because as u said earlier in your post that in the past u get the update same day as it was released in that particular region i also managed to get the update the same day so i believe this time i will also get the update the same day no matter what people say here.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bennachie:
Dear Sony Ericsson,

Hope you are still monitoring. See, that wasn't so bad was it? You came clean and announced a start date and the world did not end. Everyone is happy - well relatively - as they now know when the update is starting.

You must surely now see the benefits of keeping your customers informed and treating them like adults rather than uncomprehending children. The former encourages a supportive bond whilst the latter brings out the less accepted traits seen ib some of the more puerile antics displayed over the last few days. However, it was those antics that brought you to the table, and very welcome you are/were. Keep up the good work and publish changelogs now and remain open about target launch dates and the undoubted harm inflicted by this shambles will begin to dissipate.

Yours Sincerely Mr Bennachie
[XPERIA X10 General] 3dawg:
I have. (10 charizards)
[XPERIA X10 General] lildic:

[XPERIA X10 General] Vtune:

[XPERIA X10 General] mipepim:
no, not in sunday
[XPERIA X10 General] jayman1986:
No but we don't know anything, do we? Only know about Nordic, like I was saying we MAY get on Monday so why not wait? Not that I've really got issues with anyone but there seems to be mass panic to get Nordic firmware : )
[XPERIA X10 General] Android>iPhone:
Possibly on Monday. That's when they will start rolling out the update for some unbranded European phones like UK and for you hopefully Germany :)
[XPERIA X10 General] lildic:
monday.oh nooooooooooooooooo i cant wait i'll sure im gonna change for nordic damn!!
[XPERIA X10 General] kafej666:
GO with Nordic one .... When SE relased This ****ty outdated FW Our Devs need few hours and We gonna have root again (this is my personal opinion ;) ) Then You can delete evry nordic software from Your phone

ps. Changing FW does not mean that You loose Your warranty

[XPERIA X10 General] musicbravo:
I personally dont think Orange UK will be too slow with the update for these 2 reasons.

1. They only took 5 days I think to release the 026 update after UK generic

2. They were platinum sponsors of Droidcon, so want to show their positivity to the OS - Weak argument I know
[XPERIA X10 General] Contrarian:
i notice there's another bloody update to seus - the second one in three days. can't remember - was there a repair function in seus before, cause there definitely isn't one now?

Dont bother man, if we dont see the new firmware, neither do you...
[XPERIA X10 General] SaintyUK:
@lollylost100, is he\she just pulling information from ptcrb?
[XPERIA X10 General] The Gingerbread Man:
ok fair enough. Would you mind telling me how to re-size images anyway? XDA wouldnt allow my upload as the pixel count was to high itl only allow 640x640 and my image is 1024x i cant remember...

they say you learn something new everyday hahaha
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
I think XDA must have earned atleast $1000 from this thread today alone.... i mean 44k views....
[XPERIA X10 General] :
I don't think so. Their info is from DaVinci AFAIK.
[XPERIA X10 General] SaintyUK:
Oks :) no problems!

Wonder if Chewitt can add anymore? :)

any gesses to wot time se will start dont forget clocks go bk an hour so se may start it a 1am which would be 12 really lol u no wot i mean
[XPERIA X10 General] I7redd:
Specifying a time would be even worse luck than just releasing it on the night of Halloween. (internet traffic jam much?)

.
[XPERIA X10 General] Puck24:
I don't know about your country, but here in Croatia we move the clock this night, not Sunday.

And the same goes for Sweden.

So, tomorrow morning the clock is already adjusted, so that cannot impact SE's release time i.e. they can't release it at 1am

Edit: they can, but then they would have broken their promise again
[XPERIA X10 General] Souljaded:
The official Sony Ericsson product blog posted an article today advising that X10, X10 Mini, and X10 Mini Pro handsets will begin receiving the Eclair update on Sunday evening. Initially, only phones in the Nordic countries will see the update, with other European countries getting 2.1 starting Monday, November 1. All other X10 phones, including those used in North America, will get their update by the end of November.

**** why do i live in north america !! lol is there a way to unbrand a sony x10a ROGERS to a no name or something to get the update this sunday ?
