lol THE AWESOMENESS THAT IS XDA!!!!

modded the Default.prop on my rooted 1.6 X10i and SEUS saw it as NORDIC and prompted for the update!!

Before I started I took the wise decision to backup just in case ...

NOTE THIS WILL WIPE YOUR PHONES ENTIRE CONTENTS! ...CARD CONTENTS REMAINS THE SAME!

I quickly backed up all my stuff using a combination of Myphone Explorer for my contacts and then Titanium backup to do a full backup of all apps and data etc :)

then I UPDATED to 2.1 via SEUS works like a charm....was laggy to begin with but settled down the more I used it

I had a couple of niggles along the way such as not seeing my network in the (Vodafone) to begin with until I messed with the APN manually settings once I had it on the network the automatic settings under (settings/sony ericsson) allowed me to auto download the settings properly ;)

Rooted using the awesome 1 click method described on this forum (was fiddly had to reboot once connected to my phone and try again as it didn't recognize my phone as connected?! and tick and untick the debug selection and eventually it worked!

reinstalled Titanium backup and rolled my apps back onto my phone awesomeness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks XDA!!
[XPERIA X10 General] oXunknownXo:
Yes it's out
[XPERIA X10 General] Contrarian:
SE are probably working on a patch for the SuperOneClick root tool, hence the reason updates are behind schedule.

Just as well we flashed to Nordic.

[XPERIA X10 General] uvaman:
guys do you have problem with opening model information of the phone using

menu, back back , menu .... I can't anymore use that option to check the

version . I'm on 2.1 nordic version flashed....
[XPERIA X10 General] Chicane301:
Oke I'm working with global generic now after following you guys. Can anyone tell me the difference between the global generic and country code foon exept for the 2.1 update offcourse?
[XPERIA X10 General] SK_007:
It has changed in 2.1 now instead of menu use home(middle key)..............and everything would be fine.
[XPERIA X10 General] SK_007:
Almost nothing..............
[XPERIA X10 General] Chicane301:
Ok then I'm working with this even if the dutch update is available.
[XPERIA X10 General] pamodio2305:
Hi All....I flashed my phone to nordic on sunday and sucessfully updated to 2.1. I also managed to root using the superoneclick method.

Is there a way I can now get back to UK fw and keep 2.1. I remembered reading something like this the other day but I can't find it and this thread is growing like mad :D:D:D

Apreciate any help!

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] SK_007:
Good luck but i would still advise u that if the official update is available for your country then go for it instead of this..........
[XPERIA X10 General] uvaman:
Thank you , didnt know that information :(

Tell me one more thing . When I last manage to see that I'm on nordic b version now its saying to me when I enter to model info : Xperia X10i and nothing else...
[XPERIA X10 General] Chicane301:
well maybe I should do that then. Is it still possible in the root explorere way?
[XPERIA X10 General] SK_007:
Yeah it is possible if u r updating from 1.6 to 2.1,but still i would recommend the other way around............
[XPERIA X10 General] SK_007:
Yeah this is normal as it has been changed this time by SE in 2.1................even i also get X10i and nothing else...........
[XPERIA X10 General] uvaman:
Does this means that everyone will have same model info or only nordic ?

And if I have model info x10i that means that I dont have to flash back to my

local version and my warranty will be okay or what ?
[XPERIA X10 General] jayman1986:
Right Guys, Ive given up on UK GENERIC.

So ive used the Global Generic Flash tool given by a previous poster last night.

http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=139429

it flashes to 1.6 R2BA026 which worked a treat (at first didnt know i had to install 32bit java but a bit of google helped and led be to a post by the mighty Bin4ry) . currently downloading the 2.1 via SEUS.

MMWWAAAHHH I LOVE YOU ALL!!!

-GOD IM SO EXCITED, THANK GOD FOR SOFTWARE HACKERS!
[XPERIA X10 General] stringer987:
How did you fix the Java issue?
[XPERIA X10 General] manajui:
After insalling 2.1 now can I restore the names from the back up and restore cuz they r not restored.
[XPERIA X10 General] oXunknownXo:
Nice :D

Anyway there was an easier method, root, edit default.prop writing the code for generic global and then update directly to 2.1 , that's the one i used.

[XPERIA X10 General] stuart.garside:
Can anybody who upgraded to 2.1 (preferably UK) confirm that HD recording is possible and what class microSD card you had supplied.

I am curious as the specs suggest the card I had supplied is insufficient spec to cope which means people will need to purchase a class 4/6/10 card to use the functionality. I had a class 2 card supplied.
[XPERIA X10 General] arj154:
whats the advantage of the generic global 2.1 ROM? I have the 2.1 rooted nordic rom and it seems to be working fine.
[XPERIA X10 General] frankie99969:
did anybody new actually get the update today? So frustrating here in the uk, especially as all channels of communication are quiet!
[XPERIA X10 General] dachao:
BATTERY!!

For those that already updated! How is your battery life after the update?

I only used my phone a little and now it is down to 45% and it was unplugged at 7:00 and now it is 12:00. That is very poor battery life.

On 1.6 i could go for two days without a charge.
[XPERIA X10 General] chiefy009:
Found that after the first day and a complete drain my battery is now far better than it ever was, got taste killer as well
[XPERIA X10 General] dachao:
are you using live wallpapers?
[XPERIA X10 General] jayman1986:
What do u mean by name? U mean contacts? I dont really trust the back up and restore. I prefer gmail contact sync and I also usually make a backup to memory card via the phone book which is a reliable way to save.
[XPERIA X10 General] chiefy009:
No, i did, but battery drain
[XPERIA X10 General] jayman1986:
There wasnt really a java issue as such, you just have to make sure that 32bit java environment is installed for flash tool to work(just google it and you'll find it -file download size is about 15mb). Otherwise you get a message on flash tool "java not recognized"
[XPERIA X10 General] jayman1986:
I tried the root and edit default.prop this morning but I couldn't seem to change it using root explorer. Im sure I was doing something wrong. But my method was also very easy. All I did was flash using flash tool and then just connect to SEUS and hello "You have an update available"
[XPERIA X10 General] jayman1986:
But 2.1 is great but I cant understand what actually took so long its not that different.

Also for some reason thaidial doesn't work. I cant believe they haven't implemented smart dialing.
[XPERIA X10 General] manajui:
I did that like hundred times it didn't work. I need a solution. Plz help
[XPERIA X10 General] mrtim123:
sorry to give you bad news then mate, but if you have tried this so many times and its still failing, id say the original backup was not a success. Dont suppose you have them saved on your simcard also hey?
[XPERIA X10 General] jayman1986:
Like I said in a previous post, I don't trust back up and restore, purely for the fact that I cannot actually find my contacts on my SD card when I back it up... where is it saved? I've tried it before when I reflashed on 1.6 and I couldn't get any contacts off it. Luckily I had other backups.

So sadly like the previous poster said, your probably out of luck
[XPERIA X10 General] The Gingerbread Man:
When you back up with SE back up and restore the back up file saves to sd card/data/back up and then its created to what ever you choose to name the back up. For example mine is called r2ba026 1.6

There is no reason not to trust the app, it works percectly aslong as you allow it to finish working first. The version for 2.1 is avaiible through pc companion and I'm using it on 1.6

Iv used it loads of times and works perfect. Give it ago :)

EDIT: When you back up all your stuff with the app its not a big massive list. It is saved as a file a couple of mb. Just so you know incase your looking for a long list of stuff.
[XPERIA X10 General] stringer987:
I took the risk today and i flashed it over into world generic. It worked like a dream! I reccomend that you get it and when the UK version comes out flash over too that, thats what i am going to do mate!
[XPERIA X10 General] The Gingerbread Man:
Oh right cool, glad to hear the good news and well done. I must say today iv been really thinking about taking the leap myself.

How hard did you find it to do and which method did you use? I'm fairly confident when doing stuff with my phone, I got root and debranded already I just don't want to be left with a bricked phone.

Can you talk me through what you did, mainly what you needed to do on the pc? Doesnt nessesarly have to be in great detail but I want to understand the steps propely before I try it.

Cheers

[XPERIA X10 General] stringer987:
I downloaded Bin4ry's flash. The global generic, its a couple hundred Mb i think.

Extract using winrar

Then open the folder and load up x10flash.bat

select your windows version

then put ur phone into flash mode and while its in flash mode u have to click any button on the cmd screen.

it will take a few minutes so sit back and have a coffee

It will then complete u will turn on ur phone and it will show a camera pointing down to ur phone leave that for a few minutes.

Then the jobs a gooden!

Tis really easy!

If you get a java error when u first start reinstall java
[XPERIA X10 General] Yomihura:
Okay!

I give in :P

Since I saw that you can change back to your countries version when its released, I think I will give global generic a try...What would be the easiest method of rooting so i can change that one file and force it to update to global?

Yes, I know it was posted somewhere, but i can't seem to find it D:....I'm up for the most simple way possible :)

Edit: i found the standalone root thing....would that work just by loading it? or will i need to do all that usb debugging stuff?

Does the market widget actually do anything?????????
[XPERIA X10 General] dibberly:
why are people flashing there phones to 2.1?

I cant see the point as if you flash it to 2.1, then spend ages setting the phone up to how u like it then a few weeks later you region FW comes out.

You then have to flash the phone again a re set everything up again???

Is it really worth the hassle?

I am still waiting for the generic FW to be released but IF i flash it to another FW...it will stay on!!

Is flashing the phone to get the 2.1 early really worth the hassle?
[XPERIA X10 General] ggpiucco:

Shall i wait for some more time?

Also should the USB Debugging be on or off
[XPERIA X10 General] qwer23:
I have a different point of view: why are some guys still waiting for a special firmware? I'm from germany and besides two apps that you can easily uninstall with root (or even without root? Didn't try...) there's nothing in the nordic generic that differs to a global generic or any country specific fw.

So seriously, what's the reason for some of you to wait? Do i overlook something?

[XPERIA X10 General] curious_yellow_eyes:
I tried the One Click Root app, but no luck... what's the best option anyone?
[XPERIA X10 General] Yomihura:
Interesting...So I have Global Generic loaded up (because SE-NL is still in the approval process..)

and for some reason, I have Hyves....No clue how that could have happened, but the Hyves app is in my list of installed things...Anyone else from the NL "accidently" get this?

But anyways, I made the decision of not switching back whenever the NL version finally rolls out, because I would think global generic is the most "junk-free" fw? And I could still update it and such via SEUS, correct?

I couldnt care less about the warranty, because I always baby my phones, and I will probably have something new next year anyways...and I have backup phones in case something was to happen..

or am I going about this the wrong way? :P
