I'm in Germany (generic, unrooted, unflashed) and still with 1.6 since the update is not yet out for us.

For all you 2.1 people with Market problems, just to let you know it's not your 2.1 since my 1.6 has problems currently. Sometimes it's working, most times it doesn't. This started in the last 24 hours so I guess Sony Ericsson are not lying when they say it's not them.

Personally I'm waiting for my turn patiently. Don't want to void the warranty on my phone and it's not like I can't use my phone for what I need it for, and in a month from now it will all look so unimportant anyway and we will have forgotten that we had a to wait a bit longer.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bennachie:
Orange.

Another multinational that does not know the meaning of the word 'soon'. :(
[XPERIA X10 General] musicbravo:
They were only 7 days after uk generic last time around, so I still have faith
[XPERIA X10 General] Bennachie:
So, Sony Ericsson's 'soon' and Orange's 'soon' means you will get it in about 20 days = if you are lucky! :p
[XPERIA X10 General] dachao:
I just updated to global gneric and i cannot figure out how to get my social phone book to work. i get all the contacts from my backup but how do i link them to my facebook contacts.

There is no option for that in the phone book.
[XPERIA X10 General] The Gingerbread Man:
I gave you some advice earlier on, did it not work? About changing your build.prop to that of another 2.1 version and then repair through pc companion.

Might work, id be interested to find out.
[XPERIA X10 General] dogwoofer:
press and hold on a contact and then go to join contact
[XPERIA X10 General] dachao:
thank you!!!!!!
[XPERIA X10 General] stringer987:
Are you still waiting for the UK version or are you going to flash to the global one?
[XPERIA X10 General] vengeance1990:
So guys 2.1 has been released to some markets, my question to the ones who have updated is... Was it worth the long wait?

Personally in my opinion, no, granted its more recent than 1.6, had some improvements made, but at the end of the day, everybody got all worked up about the update when quite frankly its not that spectacular, rooting it for example was a massive pain the A
[XPERIA X10 General] vickysud:
in 2.1 service menu when i go into model info i only can c Model:x10i like in 1.6 i cant c which country version nor is it customized or not
[XPERIA X10 General] oXunknownXo:
I think it's the same but changing menu key for home
[XPERIA X10 General] Vtune:
Here in Belgium still nothing. Can we do anything with the files/filenames that ~xperiaX10~ has given us? Would be nice to get it a little bit faster ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] fuusuke:
Hi when i try to update through pc companion, i can get to the update screen, but it doesnt start downloading and my phone eventually just boots up as normal. What am i doing wrong?
[XPERIA X10 General] oXunknownXo:
Yes, you can make SEUS think your X10 is Global Generic and it will update.
[XPERIA X10 General] mrtim123:
yeah definately worth it for me! flashed it and straight away got ROOT access (was not hard for me....SuperOneClick method, uncheck/recheck usb debugging option whilst SOC was running, root achieved in 30 seconds) then removed all standard apps that i didnt want. Installed LauncherPro and removed Home - LP is 500% better than the default launcher, and so damn smooth! Tried ADW but LP is better again.

So damn happy with this phone now, i could almost forgive SE. i said almost .....i DONT forgive them tho:mad::cool:
[XPERIA X10 General] mrtim123:
yup, provided you have ROOT access, you edit the /system/default.prop file so that it thinks its a nordic/other region phone. then SEUS will update accordingly. very easy actually.
[XPERIA X10 General] The Gingerbread Man:
I'm holding out for uk release, hopefully itl have problems than others seem to be having and hopefully by then an easier rooting method will be avalible
[XPERIA X10 General] stringer987:
I am looking at the possibility of the Global Generic version. I hope its a easy method though!
[XPERIA X10 General] Adolf1994:
Can some1 upload the old SemcIME.apk? The new has no arrows, and its annoying me(but looks better, oh yeah B-) )

I prefer multiupload or mediafire, thanks

EDIT: from R2BA026, of course
[XPERIA X10 General] SK_007:
Hi,

Yeah i know you gave me that advice,but i think u dont know(or may i am wrong,sorry)that default.prop can only be edited through Rootexplorer and to get rootexplorer u should have a rooted X10,so its literally impossible now,oh oh oh wait now dont say that there is a root method available for 2.1 as well,coz i tried it 3 times but failed,then again even if i manage to have root acces on my 2.1(x10),then how will i know that specific codes(numbers)for Generic Global,which i have to put there when editing default.prop coz i cannot find them anywhere(and just wanted to inform you that i didnt edit default.prop when i updated my X10 to nordic(2.1).

Thanks anyway and i hope u have got my point what i have been trying to explain everyone here at XDA,so now you or anyone can help me with this please?And yeah i would tell u if i manage to get it done,as you r interested to find out.

Regards.
[XPERIA X10 General] The Gingerbread Man:
From what iv read the process doesn't sound too hard, for me id rather have uk generic one and hopefully using a uk firmware with in the uk should mean I have less problems with the android market as it has country restricions.

Good luck if you go a head with flashing.
[XPERIA X10 General] SK_007:
Ok i have one but it would certainly take some time to post on any uploading server..........
[XPERIA X10 General] devilsden:
Guys, my SE X10a says:

Country: Generic LAM (b)

Brand : Customized

Software: R2BA026

You recon I should change the firmware to get the update asap...if so which one should I go for???
[XPERIA X10 General] Reeonimus:
Agreed. Thanks!
[XPERIA X10 General] robbyf66:
I wouldn't bother, I have a feeling most of us will be just flashtool method to write new 2.1 software anyways.
[XPERIA X10 General] devilsden:
Thats true, but when the update is released....everyone is in super excited state n I'll be waiting for some1 2 upload the files n .... bla bla bla....n i cant wait anymore. Instead, i want SEUS / SEPC to say "New S/W is ready 4 ur X10a" ... think of the excitement .....:D
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
HAHA this tool is amazing!

Now I can track it at work without opening a browser

Thanks a lot buddy!

Now if only I could login with my account so that it keeps track of what posts I've read...
[XPERIA X10 General] Cablekevin:
If you use Internet Explorer to log in, you'll automatically be logged in at the tool.
[XPERIA X10 General] alankstiyo:
lol well I suffer insomnia anyways so can check for updates more often lol

who said insomnia wasn't a great illness? hahahaha
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
I'm going to laugh for two days after 2.1 is released and nobody will be able to use titanium or other apps which need root :lol:
[XPERIA X10 General] unknown13x:
well i already told u guys, all the existing root apps does not work :) just as simple as that. Will try it the old school way from Bin4ry later tonight. More pix tonight also :) Finally figured out why my Dalvik Debugger wasn't working, forgot to turn on USB Debugger -______- failed.
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
yay ur back :)

More pics :)

Also, is there a Moxier Mail widget?
[XPERIA X10 General] Sighx:
Ahhh so glad I went out instead of sitting at home waiting for nothing
[XPERIA X10 General] Souljaded:
yeah and everybody is gonna be back here waiting for someone to root it !! lolll salut voisin montrealais :P
[XPERIA X10 General] Hypercore:
Thanks a lot bro, that's actually a really helpful tool. XDA is blocked on my schools computer so this will allow me to check for the updates regularly.
[XPERIA X10 General] robbyf66:
well I think i'm going to give in, we should have a SMS update list lol, txt me when the update comes out so I can wake up haha.
[XPERIA X10 General] alankstiyo:
just saw this on SE LAM

Sony Ericsson Latin America Dependiendo del país y operador, la actualización debe empezar a estar disponible la última semana de octubre

just says that is going to be this week, I know y'all know that but is the 1st conformation I've seen for Latin america
[XPERIA X10 General] saketh321:
well we were thinking we would send over a hot naked girl for you, but i guess you are content with a text :P
[XPERIA X10 General] Mac_33:
Awsome, cause I think most of us with an X10a have our phones debranded to the LAM generic firmware.
[XPERIA X10 General] Nimche:
Could you please provide links if you have it?

Thank you
[XPERIA X10 General] NightSidew1nd3r:
Xperia hd available in Australia with 2.1. Update can't be far off
[XPERIA X10 General] unknown13x:
Ok, i'm available now so I can answer some questions, but before I do so, I'll just give some of my impressions on the 2.1 update. Please note that my version is an earlier version of the FW, not what you guys will get, so there may be some stability issues that is solved on what u guys get.

My first main concern is battery life, since I charged it fully about 6 hours ago, and its down to 40% already. I only used Wi-Fi, 10 minutes of Angry Birds, but it's definitely a problem on this FW. On the R2BA026, I used Wi-Fi and Bluetooth all day and still have over 60% left. Hopefully this will be solved

Secondly, widgets. You get the same widgets as the 1.6 except for Youtube, Power Control, and Recent Calls(may be it was in 1.6, can't remember) that are new additions. Other than that it's just a remodification. Picture frame and calendar widget is bigger, so now I can have my gf's picture on my phone without squinting my eyes :p i remembered someone asked about Moxier widget, I don't see it in this update. Time widget is also useless now, before you can access the alarm by pressing on the time, now I can't, so off it goes, and welcome beautiful widgets :)

Third, the charging LED on top of the phone is now orange instead of yellow when charged. The whole phone is now a darkish theme as you will see in the screenshots to come.

Fourth, initial load of the 2.1, the animation is fully activated(windows open/close, etc). Many will find this lagging the phone, though it's such a nice eye candy. I prefer mine off since I'm use to the 1.6 quickness on the last one, so if you guys do get the update and see it lagging, keep in mind that the animation is set to be fully on so turn it off or change it to some animations.

Fifth, Mediascape is the same, nothing changed except some menu that is gone, though they reworked the sounds and it has more bass/treble this time around. Overall I like it more than the latest 1.6. (My FW's mediascape is hecka laggy, but my colleague's mediascape is so smooth...so your take on this one, should be because of my fw)

Lastly before I work on some work and uploading some screenshots, please note that you may notice that my older screenshots has a different timescape widget appearance. That's because that update is the NEXT update we'll get in the end of December and it is still in work, so that is all I can give out right now. Will give out details on the next fw when its closer to the date.
[XPERIA X10 General] stringer987:
I know what you mean, but i am becoming very impaitent at having to wait for this UK update! I dont want the restrictions with the market either but i go through times of i really want this update, to the next thinking i couldnt be bothered about it!
[XPERIA X10 General] oXunknownXo:
You can root your 2.1 with "superoneclick".

This is the code for global generic:

1232-9897

Have fun :)
[XPERIA X10 General] The Gingerbread Man:
Well good luck getting it sorted. You will find the info about rooting in a different thread and all the different numbers for different countries a few pages back.

I would be interested to hear how you get on, good luck again man :)
[XPERIA X10 General] The Gingerbread Man:
I know what you mean about really wanting to get it, sometimes I'm like AGH but I think we'll have less problems and the fact that they make different firmwares for different regions means there must be a reason for doing not just cos they want to make 100's of firmwares which as we know takes bloody ages.

I want to say it will be here very soon but then I'll sound like SE them selves lol

But like I also said the best things come to those who wait.
[XPERIA X10 General] SK_007:
Thanks buddy,will try to root again but with more attebtion this time and hope that i would succeed this time.....will let you know in a while if i succeed.
[XPERIA X10 General] jayman1986:
No that flasher will work for anyone who wants to flash a 2.1 Rom. Hence it is called 2.1flasher. You can use it to switch Roms. If unsure send a PM to either bin4ry or MarylandCookie. I'm almost certain it will work.
[XPERIA X10 General] stringer987:
Sure you are not a employee!!! :)

The thing holding me back is that the last firmware update was released in the UK fast where-as people in nordic countries got it 2weeks later! so i think its a case of biding your time!
[XPERIA X10 General] The Gingerbread Man:
Also on the plus side hopefully we can say to others how nice it is to have a uk version. Loads of people are going for the nordic and global versions and might well end up being stuck on them.

I think we are doing the right thing waiting....
[XPERIA X10 General] SK_007:
Ah!Finally successfully rooted my phone(though it wasnt easy as i had to click and inclick USB debugging until it finished rooting),now how can i edit default.prop and how can i uninstall the apps which i want as there is no optino to so and it is also very different then one click root which i have previously used on 1.6,any help regarding this would be appreciated,and once again thanks steve.adams.x10 and oXunknownXo.
[XPERIA X10 General] stringer987:
I would convert to Nordic or Global but no one has been able to revert it back to there original! Also when the next firmware comes out and we get it weeks before everyone who converted to nordic! we can have a good laugh at them!
[XPERIA X10 General] freeoscar84@hotmail.com:
Plz how do i use this info im a X10a owner unbranded 026
[XPERIA X10 General] freeoscar84@hotmail.com:
Can i also do it with my X10a ?? Tnx
[XPERIA X10 General] mark28:
I had no problem flashing to global 2.1 because my phone originally had global 1.6 but i switched to UK generic back when the firmware updates were being released and like a idiot I didn't save my global files smh
[XPERIA X10 General] The Gingerbread Man:
damn right, hopefully the joke will be on them next time with the UXP and possible 2.2 update which is.under review.

We'll see who's laughing then!!!
[XPERIA X10 General] Adolf1994:
Just mail it to me: hh.vadolf [kukac] gmail.com

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] goth50:
non update in macedonia.... damn really want this update to roll up adn get over it, i'm really tired of checking and re-checking my phone, xda forum, seus, pc companion...
[XPERIA X10 General] stringer987:
Dont want to cause excitement but a few people in the UK have recieved the update so it is close i guess! If we dont have it by tomorrow punch me!
[XPERIA X10 General] SK_007:
Will u pls rewrite ur email,and this time try to be more specific with dots and brackets.
[XPERIA X10 General] The Gingerbread Man:
I read about a few this afternoon but I figured that they went with the nordic method. I might be wrong though.

Are you talking about generic uk within the last few hours sorta thing?
[XPERIA X10 General] jayman1986:
No, they were on global generic not UK, UK still not out yet
[XPERIA X10 General] SK_007:
Finally flashed from Nordic(2.1) to Glabal Generic(2.1),and guess ya! all those problems are gone and also rooted my x10 with superoneclick,anyways thanks guys who helped me out here especially Bin4ry...............
[XPERIA X10 General] alsaqr:
Successfully updated

Hey guys

im in the USA and have succesfully updated to 2.1.

all i did was change the code i hade using root explorer and put the Global Generic Code. Save then exit.

made reboot by taking out the battery and turning it back on.

then i deleted the db file in sues.

then i opened sues and followed the instructions till i got the a new software is available message.

Everything is working great.

will root now
[XPERIA X10 General] curious_yellow_eyes:
It will be out by Sunday. How do I know? I just decided that if it's still not out by the weekend I will go Nordic... and you just KNOW the UK version will be released five minutes after I do lol :-)
[XPERIA X10 General] PGRX10:
Why would you want to go back to your 1.6 after flashing.

Once you flash o for example Global generic then SeUS will always update you on Global Generic.

If after you flash you want to switch to UK generic 2.1 then just wait for bin4ry to decrypt it when it comes out and re-flash.

Simple! No need to wait.:)
[XPERIA X10 General] The Gingerbread Man:
This is true I guess but what puts me off is how SK-007 was trying to get off that nordic version all day yesterday and to be fair I can't really be bothered with the hassle atm or if something goes wrong and to be honest I can't be arsed to flash it only to change it a short time after.

I'll concider it if SE put it back to the end of the month but I'm waiting it out. I'm gonna give SE some more time, looks like UK generic 2.1 is gonna be a fairly rare one
[XPERIA X10 General] stringer987:
I have a feeling this UK one is going to have more added features than the nordic one as a present for us because we've been waiting!
[XPERIA X10 General] Vtune:
stringer987, I think you are dreaming too much ;) but it can't hurt though :D So hopefully then for Belgium a version with Youtube then :cool:
[XPERIA X10 General] SK_007:
Yeah u r right i was trying to get rid of nordic all day but when finally i contacted Bin4ry and told him about my problem he gave me a link to Marrylandcookie and believe me it took only 10 minutes to flash to generic global and get rid of nordic so all in all yeah it took me about 1 and a half day to find how can i do it but once i found it,it really worked like a charm,and therefore highly recommend you to flash with generic global and when uk version come out then u reflash to it.

Regards.
[XPERIA X10 General] SK_007:
A method is already out(though not for uk generic as it isnt out yet)for both nordic and global and believe me it works like a charm as i myself have done it.
[XPERIA X10 General] Yomihura:
Oh wow, you guys didn't get the Youtube app thing built in? D:

The Dutch one has had it since release...well...the T-mobile one at least....A pretty handy thing to have really.

I guess that could be why under my software version it says "customized"...I was wondering what exactly was changed...
[XPERIA X10 General] Vtune:
Indeed in Belgium we didn't received the Youtube app by default. A Youtube apk has helped us though ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] SK_007:
Thank God atleat i got it...............and btw it is much different and much better(both visually and functionally) then the previous one which we were having in 1.6
[XPERIA X10 General] oXunknownXo:
Nice to hear that it worked :)

I'm going to do it now but when i go to default.prop instead of:

ro.semc.version.cust=XXXX-XXXX

ro.product.name=x10_XXXX-XXXX

I only have:

ro.semc.version.sw=XXXX-XXXX

Which it isn't the same obviously, so i'm not sure if i should change that string or not...

kukac is the name of the @ symbol, so his email is "blah.blah@blahblah.com"

i hope that's not a real email address, would be amusing though...having the blahblah domain name...interesting idea...

Really,thats good,do tell me when u finish...
[XPERIA X10 General] The Gingerbread Man:
So sk-007 how are you getting on with the global version? Any less problems or changes than with nordic?

Fair play on getting it sorted. People like bin4ary and maryland cookie are geniues :)
[XPERIA X10 General] SK_007:
Yeah it's much much better then nordic i havent recieved a wifi or market error till now and there is almost no lag nowstrongly recommend you to flash it,and when u got update in Uk then u can go with it

Yeah u r right,both of them are genius undoubtedly......
[XPERIA X10 General] stringer987:
Im starting to think the UK will never ever get this update!
[XPERIA X10 General] oXunknownXo:
hmm i've been reading the thread but i'm not sure about some points...

In that tutorial it's only said that you should download that file and run x10flash.bat

do I need to find the device id?

do i need to plug the x10 in usb debug mode?

do i need tu plug it in flash mode(pressing back while connecting)?

I ask this because from what i read there it seems that you only need to run x10flash.bat and nothing more lol, which seems pretty easy by the way.
[XPERIA X10 General] SK_007:
No u dont have to find or edit device id or plug it in debug mode,you only have to plug it in flash mode when it will ask you to do so.....as far as debugging is concerned it will only be required after u successfully flash to 2.1 and want to root your phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] oXunknownXo:
ok thank you SK, will let you know if it works...
[XPERIA X10 General] stringer987:
