Oh ok thanks...damn. Oh well, I think being rooted is better than 2.1 at this point anyways, just have to wait a little longer. Btw thanks for this tutorial, it's awesome despite it not helping X10a owners out.

Yea must suck to be on x10a, on the other hand if the bugs is massive in the 2.1 build, we gotta live with them and you might get a proper build later.

But you can do this tutorial when the first 2.1 x10a build comes out aswell.

X10 Indian 1237-0692 1.6 Flash

I also had the same issue :(.... so doing a research for nearly a week and flashing my phone for more than 15 times with so many firmwares and trying almost all the region changing methods, i had made a flash for Indian 1.6 firmware :cool: (Thanks to XDA... i really donno wht all i've read), which can be updated to 2.1 using SEUS.

now my X10 is having 2.1 :cool: (Indian generic 1237-0692)

hello i got a question, in all lines are same ver with dwo of different cid for ex.

X10i TMOB-UK GENERIC 1238-8324	1232-4293 T-mobile UK/Sensuous black

what is the different beetween 1238-8324 and 1232-4293 ? both are branded in t-mobile uk..
[XPERIA X10 General] Tony_C:
If you look at the details in your phone, the 1st group of numbers is called "Customized Version(CV) that is the number SEUS and PC Companion use to see if an update is available and if a repair can be done. The second group is the SI, there can be several SIs against a single CV. It, SI is used to differentiate things like color. One for black and one for white.
[XPERIA X10 General] jigar.in:
the first number 1238-8324 is the CDA which we all are talking about.

The other number is the one which is SL or SI (whatever it is called) which is written inside the mobile, hidden behind the battery. so you have to remove your battery to be able to locate this number.

ok, now this SL number is the unique identification given to the series of mobiles made by Sony Ericsson. So if you look at the sony product blog and will try to find which of the FWs are released by them up to now, you will have to check this number.

that's it...

works perfect.

i have x10i bought from Turkey, i upgraded it to 2.1 via PC Companion and market application was missing.

first i rooted with z4root and debrand it to Nordic 1234-8465 rebooted, then repaired with PC Companion and it's re-upgraded to 2.1. I have market now and I'm happy.

thank you so much, god bless you :)

Hi Guys

just wanted to say i succesfully updated my 1.6 branded (vodafone nl) to 2.1 .

i used the "X10i CUST-NL GENERIC 1234-8547" numbers to update with GREAT SUCCES. I easily rooted the phone with the tool (Standalone X10 root.apk v. 1.06

) from this post : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=740240.

one more question to ask : how can i enter service menu now , the "menu" "back" etc... method doesn't work anymore , just want to see if my phone is unbranded now.

thnx alot for this guide, keep up the great work !

Instead of menu button use the home button. Then you get into the Service Menu.

may i ask whether 1236-2484 are available for update? according to se blog, its available but when i tried to update, its say your phone are up to date. my x10 is using 1232-9897

btw, im using seus and pc companion and tried the method above
[XPERIA X10 General] Tony_C:
A little confusing, you have CDA for 1 phone and SI for another. If you are trying to go from Global generic to GBA generic need to change your CDA to 1238-3757.
[XPERIA X10 General] xcxa23:
well, actually my SI is 1236-2484. but i cant wait for the update for 1236-2484 so i change the SI number to get the global generic 2.1. so now i wanted to flash back to 1236-2484. but i cant. sorry for being a noob, but what is CDA?
[XPERIA X10 General] delbuenno:
You need to change the number to 1238-3757 NOT 1236-2484. 1238-3757 is the CDA, 1236-2484 is the SI. It is the CDA you changed before and need to change again NOT the SI.

Hi there,

My speaker has broken on phone and I need to take it back to get a repair done, but need to rebrand the phone.

Having a few issues switching back to TMobile 2.1 firmware, when I change the number to either of the of 'X10i TMOB-UK GENERIC 1238-8324	1232-4293 T-mobile UK/Sensuous black' and plug the phone in, the pc doesn't even regonise that the device is plugged in.

Flashed to Nordic origonally if that helps.

Shutting down

Dear XDA,

I am currently here in Abudhabi, UAE and having x10i. Since i am here in this region, I dont have the Android Market installed on my phone. I used 1.6 from June till the past 3 weeks. I did not wait for the 2.1 update from my region and instead, I rooted my phone to Nordic Generic using the same instruction and updated to 2.1. Since then, my phone automatically shutting down especially when I am running an app (any app), using my camera, recording a video. It will start "pausing" the app then shutting down after and automatic re-start. It will continue re-starting unless you remove the battery.

At first I thought that the Nordic firware is buggy so I tried to re-root my phone and use another region. But I tried so many regional firmware but the same problem is ruining my phone.

What would be the possible cause? And what would be the solution?

Thanks in advance.

hi there,

I'm having some issues here.

My X10a is in R2BA023 (1.6) that i updated using this guide.

and now I can't update my phone via SEUS or PC Companion

and I know that my carrier has released the 2.1 update for my SI (which is 1232-4516)

So what I want to do, is rebrand my phone to be able to update to my carrier 2.1 update.

This is possible? And how?

The guide says that doesn't work on x10a 1.6... (and I am still on 1.6)

i must try the 2.1 methods?

I already installed the Android SDK (and all the versions on it...)

I even began using the "2.1 ADB Method only for Rooted Devices"

But I didn't find the codes that I have to change in the build.prop file on the SD...

I must try the 1.6 method? Even my phone being x10a?

thanks for the help!

In 2.1 it is build.prop in 1.6 it is default.prop,

ps: I tried the PC Companion but it gives me the same message as the OTA function of the phone does.

Impossible to upgrade to 2.1

Hi guys, I tried the above method to upgrade 1.6 to 2.1 but no success...

I rooted the phone, installed root explorer, changed the default.prop in the system folder with the two lines but still SEUS says there is no update for my phone (I deleted the db folder too), before the modification i had this:

ro.semc.version.cust=1234-6148

ro.product.name=X10_1234-6148

and changed these codes for 1234-8465...

I don't know what to do I spent all the day trying to update the phone but I think I'm going to give up

I bought the phone yesterday and I found the following under the battery

type: AAD - 3880056 - BV CB5

Prototype not for sale MoP XXXX-XXXX.RR

Not type approved Prototype build: AP1

SI 1228 - 3677.1M 09W27

Seems to be a pre-production unit, Is it possible this to be the cause of not being able to update???:confused:
[XPERIA X10 General] batman_112:
You need to delete all the files in the db folder on your PC before running a repair after you change the default.prop (usually in C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db). But the path may vary slightly.

Once you connect your phone, it will tell you that you already have the latest firmware but, go ahead and repair anyway.

Hi;

After paid 20 bucks to mobileincanada, I got my x10a for my carrier in Brazil, it was only for Rogers, ok now, cheers!

But, I tryed to change the region/rebrand it, but without sucess.

I edited the build.prop in the system folder, using the rootexplorer and the code 1234-4840 in the lines like in the beginning of this thread.

In PcCompanion, erase the contents in db, tryed to repair, update, etc, none reinstalled the android, so I still with boot image of rogers (and in the build.prop there is some lines with the word ROGERS) and without my language Portuguese (Brasil).

Could be some issue of mine?

2. find /system/build.prop and make it read/write able

3. change ro.product.name

ro.build.fingerprint

ro.semc.version.cust

4. Delete whats inside DB folder of SEUS or SE Companion

5. Reboot phone and reinstall with SEUS or SE Companion

Anything else to add?

4. Delete whats inside DB folder of SEUS or SE Companion

5. Reboot phone and reinstall with SEUS or SE Companion

Whatever I do, when click repair on SE companion or update on SEUS, it says "there is no new software for your phone" so I cannot complete rebranding. I asked guys from SE Serbia, thay gave me kit number i allready have 1235-5528, and they confirmed that update is out for this kit.

You need to select repair at that point, If SEUS does not give option try PCCompanion. Not sure why SEUS does not always give option to repair.

He's trying to get to 1234-4824, but when he changes build.prop to that SEUS keeps bringing him back to 1234-4820.

JUST HAD A THOUGHT, if using Root Explorer, or such, to edit build.prop in place and did not change r/o to r/w that would explain the problem!
[XPERIA X10 General] Tony_C:
How are you editing the build.prop? If using Root Explorer are you changing r/o to r/w? If I remember correctly RE does not give an error message in that case.

If the above is not the answer I will try with my phone.

I did get a chance to compare your 1234-4820 with mine, there were 5 differences, 2 due to JIT. Rest look minor.

[XPERIA X10 General] delbuenno:
I had the same problem. Firstly make sure you delete the entire db folder in SEUS (AND in PCC if you have that installed - its hidden). Reboot after you have edited and saved the build.prop file. Navigate to it to confirm it still has the ammended CDA and then switch off again before flashing it with seus. Also I changed the CDA in the cust.prop file in mine too which is located in system/etc/customization/settings.

tryed that, no go.

will try changing the CDA in the cust.prop though

I was just getting ready to follow with my phone. Checked my data base where itrack what has been released by SE. It showed X10a TELSTRA-AU NAM1 1234-4824 not yet released by SE. Then checked the corresponding SI 1232-4505 on the SE site no match found.

Do you know otherwise?

I think that explains it. SE stated earlier you cannot go backwards in updates.
[XPERIA X10 General] aussiesausage:
so im stuffed? theres no way for me to get telstra ROM back?

i cannot find it anywhere on the internet, i've googled my balls off.
[XPERIA X10 General] Tony_C:
If you want to go back to 1.6, you can find one of the flash just for 1.6, I know there is a version for AT&T 1.6 I used it and it works. Then edit default.prop.

You have to find the flash tool for 1.6, I also tried to use the latest to go to 1.6 that DID NOT work.

The AT&T one is called attunbrick or something like that.
[XPERIA X10 General] aussiesausage:
i tryed flashing a 1.6 ROM and editing the didgits and upgrading to telstra one from there

it didnt work either
[XPERIA X10 General] Tony_C:
I'm stumped! No good feel for what next.

I know before 2.1 came out people were using the change CDA method to go to a generic version. I never did that, always used flash to go to and from AT&T.

If you can flash to a 1.6 ROM and run SEUS repair WITHOUT changing the prop file, does SEUS re-flash?

How close is a telstra store? WILL THEY TRY AND FLASH IF YOU BRING IN A BRICKED PHONE?
[XPERIA X10 General] aussiesausage:
if i flash up from a 1.6, it just goes to 2.1 ROM, even if i change the didgits

i will try take it to a telstra store, not sure how i will go though

really needed it before new year so i could post my phone off for repairs :(
[XPERIA X10 General] Tony_C:
So,

if you flash to phone "a 1.6" this has a 2.1 update, change default.prop to "b" this does not have a 2.1 update, then run SEUS it will update your phone to "a" 2.1?
