First hours with 2.1 my phone was slow.

Now it boosted up! I have no problems with contactsimages etc

But I synced with Gmail instead of using an old backup. Maybe it's not so good using a backup from 1.6 to 2.1?

Optus - Using Nordic

Couldn't be bothered waiting.

So thought I'd share how I got my 2.1 update with a Optus branded handset.

Now this was a roundabout method - I'm sure if you go straight to step 2 it'll work.

Model: x10i

Original Firmware: R2BA026

Step 1

Followed this method to root & get Generic UK (as we all thought this was going to be first kit) using synlar

Newbies Guide to Rooting X10 and giving you the newest firmware found at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=717949

Step 2

Used Bin4ry method to using Nordic Flashtool found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=823115

Step 3

Open SEUS and update to Nordic 2.1

Now got some sweet 2.1 action all day with 0 issues

Ta to all the above authors for my 2.1 goodness early.
[XPERIA X10 General] The Gingerbread Man:
I ran seus and pc comp and checked ota for updates. Nothing for generic uk unbranded .26
[XPERIA X10 General] Puck24:
Well, that's cuz the people working SE's Cro FB & Twitter pages are a bunch of idiots.

Instead of notifying us about updates, they ask stupid questions and feature idiotic apps.

EDIT: And the holiday has nothing to do with Sony Ericsson
[XPERIA X10 General] just_nos:
Update is there ( see attachment )

Only wait for the Update icon on your phone

still i cannot confirm it because im still waiting :(
[XPERIA X10 General] uvaman:
Exactly thats my point :) After they see that we have 2.1 and when they

approve it who knows when they will release there :) thats why I recommend nordic :)

2.1 on Rogers x10a

Well I used the Flash from the thread "X10Flash 2.1 final & 2.1 Firmware"

It worked!

Have all the Java patches etc and the key for me was to be super quick with the "any Key" after putting the phone in flash mode.... but it worked... restoring my backup and manual entering of the APN settings.. and POW I got 2.1

Rooting next so I can run the Titanium Backup to drop the bloat wear.

Heads up! 2.1 is incoming.

Hi, anybody know why my rooting keeps looping on my X10. Using SuperOneClickv1.5.1-ShortFuse... wrong app or? Thought I'd try editing the default.prop file...
[XPERIA X10 General] Contrarian:
phone is now updated, rooted and running just like it was on 1.6. I'm happy for the time being.

Flash for 2.1 seems to install but i'm a bit apprehensive about whether it is actually working. Can anyone confirm this??

P.S the easiest way to flash is by changing the build.prop if you don't want to download a 300mb file.

No MT or 16 million colours but I think with time developers can pinch these drivers prom another phone.

[XPERIA X10 General] Infinity1988:
Your contacts are probably stored on your sim card. Just go to your contacts and press on the menu button. Then choose more and then import contacts. Then you can choose to import them from your sim card.

If that doesn't work you can look on your google account (if you have one) for your contacts.
[XPERIA X10 General] pacoguevara:
Hope he had some kind of backup, even if it's in a non-digital form, though it will be a pain to get all the info on the phone again.

Updated to 2.1

I have updated my French rooted Xperia X10i finger in the nose.

I first edited the file system/default.prop in order to have my phone recognized as a device from Nordic zone then successfully updated to 2.1 through SEUS. It took me less than an hour to complete.

After the update I created a new google account to access the market in order to re download Linda manager. With Linda I browsed to my back up folder to reinstall all my 1.6 apps.

Now that I have 2.1 I can enjoy live wallpaper, install apps reserved for 2.1.

After 2 hours spent reconfiguring my desks in ADW I can say the seems a little faster and more responding.

Some reflections after 24 hours.

I noticed that after the upgrade the Google widget doesn't show me contacts when typing and searching! Really enoying since I used that more then going the long way via phonebook. If this is a settings issue please tell me where to set this up!

On the plus side my phone is slightly faster, market works fine and 2.1 feels better. Live wallpaper Yorks fine but might slow down the phone a little.

I thought that the battery time har gone back to worse during the day.. at 17:00 it Was down to 20%.. and I had not used it so much.. But I Can say I was happy to realize that I had have Glympse running in the back all day stealing my battery and using gps all day. Tomorrow Will be a battery day.
