I think your phone will stay with what was in the flash until SEUS installs an update for your ID (1235-7279). Re-install will cause your phone to be wiped, if you re-install before 2.1 is available for your code it goes back to 1.6?
[XPERIA X10 General] HackitZ:
Ok i changed the code to the above code, i'm on rogers.

Everything went fine to the point of installing, I cleaned out the db folder so se had to re download it.

right at the end of finishing the install it failed and said make sure my battery is full or contact support.

battery is full, any ideas?
[XPERIA X10 General] HackitZ:
let it sit for 30 minutes and tried again, it works now.

thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] sillysquid:
I did the same about a week ago and it also seems to suggest we have world generic, but it's stable and quick so I think I'll leave it at that for the time being!

When I did it I did ask on here if anyone who had upgraded from the UK generic 1.6 to 2.1 could confirm what it now says in the file (refers to UK or world generic)?
[XPERIA X10 General] nivin.jose:
Can someone who originally had a 1.6 x10a and had flashed to Nordic / World Generic 2.1 (x10i) confirm that they are able to switch regions (to either x10a or x10i) using this method?

Mine initially was x10a 1232-4469 and was flashed to world generic. I was trying to see if this method works for me, so I tried using PC companion to 'repair' (not update) the phone before I changed the numbers and it goes online and then tells me that that there is no software available at this time.

And yes, I did delete the contents of the two db folders.

Any ideas, anyone?
[XPERIA X10 General] fightingroost12:
i did the same as u dude, but im not going to try until 2.1 is released officially for an x10a like generic latin american. But once its out ill be glad to give it a try and let u know the out come
[XPERIA X10 General] nivin.jose:
Cheers. Please do.
[XPERIA X10 General] madent:
I get the same result as you...mine was originally telstra x10a which i debranded to generic south america 1.6...Then I flashed it to Nordic 2.1. It then became an x10i.....I have tried to change to several different region codes and get no result....

Cheers
[XPERIA X10 General] nivin.jose:
Madent, let me know if you make any progress. In the meanwhile I flashed mine with the World generic and I feel it is a lot faster than the Nordic one. Especially with regards to the HSDPA / 3G Internet access speeds.

I don't think it makes a difference to the outcome of this rebranding method though.
[XPERIA X10 General] madent:
posted in error...soz
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
Well first of all, when you reflash your phone everything will be wiped.

Secondly, you can't use SEUS to flash your X10a phone with X10i firmware because it's not recognized by SEUS.

I don't know if you change your X10i build.prop file on a X10a to a X10a CDA if that might get it to work, but you can try.

In my original guide found HERE you can find all the generic firmwares marked in red.
[XPERIA X10 General] fightingroost12:
well i officially did it last night and it worked perfectly. I switched from global generic x10i 2.1 to the customized brazilian generic x10a 2.1. I changed the numbers like the guide said and seus did the rest. One thing i did notice is my phone is slightly faster now, the app tray no longer lags or skips and i have a new widget that says what network im on. its big and only says "at&t" so im not using it. my phone also have a new app called orkout, idk if i can delete it... but i would like to.
[XPERIA X10 General] nivin.jose:
Nice. Could you please confirm if you just changed build.prop or cust.prop as well? Also could you tell me which fields you changed - Just ro.semc.version.cust and ro.product.name or did you change the fingerprint as well? Also in the initial post it is mentioned that ro.product.name is initially going to be x10_xxxx-xxxx and that I only need to change the numbers. However, my initial value for it is x10i_xxxx-xxxx so I didn't know if I needed to keep the 'i' or discard it. Could you please let me know what it was for you?

And finally if you could send me your current cust.prop and build.prop that would be great.
[XPERIA X10 General] siganid:
I did this a few days ago and all good. Gota Telstra x10a, flashed to 2.1 as a x10i then changed build.prop to x10a CUST-BR. Repaired with SEUS, done! I used Notepad++ and replaced all x10i with x10a and same for the SI codes, 1232-9897 to 1234-4836. Used ADB method and didnt change any other files.

Sent from my X10a
[XPERIA X10 General] p00ster:
version ??

Hey guys,

Last night I’ve change my phone back from the Nordic 1234-8465 version to the original Dutch 1234-8550.

When i was ready it looks all the same. In the service menu it still says world version and nowhere Dutch version.

Anyone a idea?

Cheers
[XPERIA X10 General] nivin.jose:
Cheers siganid, you're a lifesaver. I will try this as soon as I can.

When I tried mine, I followed instructions and changed only the XXXX-XXXX mentioned in the original post and left everything as it is and it didn't work. I was wanting to try all X10a or X10 but I got so busy the last few days I couldn't go near a computer.

Just to confirm, you just changed the \system\build.prop file and nothing else, right?
[XPERIA X10 General] nivin.jose:
p00ster, exactly which field in the service menu says world version? Could you post the complete line?
[XPERIA X10 General] matrix_rl2000:
Hi Pooster,

Last week, the SEPC didn't work to update with Region code. But last sunday, I have got a message to update SEPC Companion. After I have modified from Nordic to BE code & got updated Wolrd Version. I think they has applied World Version for Benelux.
[XPERIA X10 General] p00ster:
Hi,

I changed the Build.prop file and the etc/customization/settings/cust.prop.

Only the 1234-8465 to 1234-8550 I’ve changed.

Behind the battery there is the number: 1232-4408. Does this make any defence?

@nivin.jose the whole software info:

Original Nordic Generic build.prop

Did anyone here happen to have original/untouched nordic generic build.prop?

Would you like to share it here? :o
[XPERIA X10 General] nivin.jose:
Mine is an X10a handset flashed to X10i world generic using the flash tool. Even when I try to use SEUS to repair the firmware even with the build.prop unchanged as it came with the world generic firmware, it says there is no software available.

From what siganid reported, I think that the SEUS doesn't allow x10a handsets to be flashed with X10i firmware using this method. However it does allow you to flash to any X10a ROM even if you are presently running X10i firmware on an X10a handset. The build.prop file tricks SEUS into thinking that the handset is running x10a software.

I will have to verify this though, and I will post my results as soon as the 2.1 update is released for my x10a 1232-4469.
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
Have you deleted the contents if the db folder in the sets directory as per the the original post?
[XPERIA X10 General] nivin.jose:
Sure have. From both folders. However everyone mentions using SEUS to perform the change. For me, SEUS only informs me that my phone is up-to-date and doesn't give me a further option to repair like PC Companion does
[XPERIA X10 General] nivin.jose:
I am not sure, p00ster. Did you find any apps / shortcuts etc. specific to the region you flashed to?

From what I've read, people have been getting customised settings when flashed this way but the service menu still reports generic software.

You know that the service menu displays information defined in the build.prop file. My best guess is that when the phone is completely flashed using unofficial means like the flash tool, the build.prop file is completely recreated, with details appropriate to the version / region of the ROM being flashed. However, I think that when using Sony Ericsson software, even though it flashes the phone according to the customisation version specified in the build.prop file, it retains all of the information in it and carries it onto the new ROM. The service menu reads this information and displays it.
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
@nevin.jose - try it using this code instead... 1234-4828

I had a problem like that when I was using the wrong one of the 2 codes from the list.. try the one above. should be right one for you. X10a 3-AU
[XPERIA X10 General] tonytoff:
Oh please help guys, Im pig sick with this!

Finally 3 UK have released the 2.1 update and Im desperate to go back to my 3 firmware from generic UK 2.1.

I have edited the correct files and cleared out my DB folder but everytime I start the repair option i get this;

"Unable to install or start phone software update components."

Ive uninstalled my AV just to make sure its not that.

I added the path to my DB folder even though it was different from the original post and I only have one DB folder. Its under Program files(x86)>Sony Erikson>update service>DB

I dont undertsand how you can do this with SEUS as all it says is EXIT and nothing about a repair option.

Now Ive somehow got it to work before because I used this same method to go from Nordic to Uk generic but I cant remember what I did different last time to get rid of this problem....it just seemed to work all of a sudden after days of this same grief.

Please help me get flashed back to 3Uk FW. Then Im never ever flashing my phone FW again.

Tip for X10a Telcel Mexico

I have the Xperia X10a im from Mexico and my carrier is Telcel 3G

First i Flashed my Xperia with the x10a firmaware of Rogers carrier with Flastool x10flash.bat

Today in the morning the update from my carrier was finally roll out... and I did the following to return to Telcel Firmware

I Following the steps of the fist post using the Root Explorer but fails and fails...

The problem was the number that i changed

For Telcel Mexico just need to put this number with the Root Explorer 1233-6931

X10a TCEL-MX NAM1 1233-6931 1232-4543 TELCEL GSM MX/Luster white, 1232-4544 TELCEL GSM

You need to put the fist number of the carrier, in this case the blue one.. No matter if your phone is Luster White or Sensous Black and dont forget to reboot you phone is very important.

No pongan el numero por color del telefono, si no que el primero de la lista, en este caso el marcado en azul 1233-6931 y despues de modificar el numero con el Root Explorer no se les olvide Reiniciar el telefono antes de pasarlo Por SEUS
[XPERIA X10 General] JuaNMaN:
Gracias men, si funcionó, mi cel vuelve a ser X10a... :D

Thanks men, it works!!!, mi phone is X10a again... :D
[XPERIA X10 General] realiking:
Correct CDA number

SEUS just reconize the first number of your CDA

Pues despues de probar con tantos numeros XXXX-XXXX y en algunos post mecionando que no funcionaba para X10a, descubri que en mi archivos build.pro y cust.pro del Firmware con el que habia flasheado de Rogers el numero que lo detectada y me daba la opcion de reparar telefono solo para Rogers era 1233-6929 ese numero lo apunte por si algo fallaba al modificar con el Root Explorer y compare con el paquete de Kits que ya se estan distribuyendo en SEUS segun el blog de sonyericsson.

Rogers estaba confirmada con el numero 1233-6929 y no por la de los colores de los equipos.

Por lo tanto SEUS solo reconoce la primera numeracion del listado CDA publicado de todas las regiones

SEUS just reconize the first number of your CDA Region. for example...

X10a ROG-CA NAM1 1233-6929 1232-4506 Rogers Wireless CA/Luster white, 1232-4507 Rogers Wireless CA/Sensuous black

Perdon por mi mal ingles, pero la que esta en negritas es la correcta.

Saludos
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
Which numbers are you using?? needs to be 1232-9592 for 3UK.

Cheers.
[XPERIA X10 General] nivin.jose:
Cheers for that, im_iceman. Even though it was specifically mentioned in the post to try both sets (first and second column) of the CDA, since the Sony Ericsson Product launch blog mentions only the Sales Item Number, I tended to be flashing with that one in vain all the time.

So it seems that the second column is the Sales Item number which is mentioned under the battery on the phones and the first column is some sort of number that identifies the software that runs on the corresponding sales item number. The difference, I think is that the SI number defines the hardware and the other one (first column) defines the software.

However 1234-4828 doesn't work, yet, as the 2.1 update hasn't been released for it at the moment. So I guess SEUS doesn't try to repair if the software installed on the phone is found to be newer than the one that it finds on their servers. That being said, if one were to edit the build.prop file and change a relevant software version (I have no idea which one though) to a previous one, it might be possible to trick SEUS into thinking that the software installed on the phone is an older version, similar to how it is being tricked into installing a different region's firmware.

I did try to do it for generic BR for which SEUS promptly started downloading, which proves it works. I cancelled it anyway since I am waiting for 3-AU firmware to come out.

Also another thing is that SEUS recognises the change in build.prop only if the CDA that has been changed corresponds with the actual model of the phone. My phone is an X10a and since generic BR firmware (which is x10a) worked for me, I tried to change the code and see if it worked for x10i firmware as well - But no. So there must be a way that SEUS determines if the phone's actual model is an X10a or an X10i before it goes on to check the build.prop for the CDA. If the model is an X10a and the CDA mentioned is of an X10a it finds the relevant firmware from its server. Otherwise it just reports that there is no software available.

Somehow I doubt that SEUS determines this model number information from a mere file like build.prop. I wish I knew...
[XPERIA X10 General] tonytoff:
Well i was using the numbers under my phone battery but decided to give your numbers a try.....no go!

Its something to do with the phone and not the PC, Ive tried it on 2 a 32bit and 64bit system with the same result.

I wonder if I should unroot the phone? and try it that way?

also, is there a way to set the phone back to factory settings? I mean I cant do it from SEUS. Im left with this world generic version of 2.1 thats been a nightmare for me with my signal constantly showing as roaming no matter what mobile settings i choose and with all the restarts and signal losses I would go back to 1.6 in a heartbeat.

I think its something to do with 3UK also....has anybody on 3UK been able to flash back to their FW?

Thanks Iceman for the suggestion mate.

EDIT.....its working now Iceman, thanks! sorry for being a noob. Seus has given me the option to install and its dowloading a 161Mb update.

Interestingly enough, im also having the same problem D:

My code (according to me SI on behind the battery, and SE-NL's twitter) Exists, and is released...As of Saturday actually, according to one of the tweets to someone O.o;;

Could it be that SE's twitter is wrong? and im getting the "no software available" because it actually isnt released yet?

My code is 1232-4406

I wouldnt be surprised really if the twitter is wrong...The guy thinks its a "trade" version, when i bought it from my provider...Oh well, i'll keep trying :P
[XPERIA X10 General] harlz:
Yes u did use that code. I also tried the 2nd code but no luck. It seems a few other ppl on here have the same issue with not being able to repair.
[XPERIA X10 General] harlz:

[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
Don't use the SI code.. You need to look up the code for your region and brand from the codes link on the first post in this thread.
[XPERIA X10 General] Yomihura:
Wooopsss, that explains a few things :P i'll try that then *feels dumb*

edit:....its the same code...i remember reading this when i had my 1.6 that i was "customized" or am i supposed to use the 1234-8547?

X10i CUST-NL GENERIC 1234-8547 1232-4405 Customized NL/Luster white, 1232-4406 Customized NL/Sensuous black

It's downloading now!....sorry for the stupid question D:
[XPERIA X10 General] harlz:
I'm not using the si code under the battery. Its the code from the list 1234-4764 etc for aus optus. IT just wont work:[ im wondering if i should reflash and try again? is there something i should do to my computer that might help it along?

Hi yes Im happy and my software is showing as Hutchinson 3G which is correct.....however, the darn signal is still showing as roaming!

I thought this was a problem with nordic/generic FW and my phone being a UK phone but obviously not.

Its something to do with the 2.1 update on Threee mobile phones.

I have switched off roaming and got the correct APN settings and access point with no joy at all.

I tried that option to download internet settings just in case it could fix it but it says I cant download the settings whilst roaming.....so try with wireless....no luck.

Ive even changed the new 2.1 settings for roaming from national roaming to international roaming and then finally to OFF but still the same......

edit, just remembered that I had roaming applied on my phone back in the summer but switched it off when i returned.....might be worth ringing back up to double check.....but its only re-appeared after 2.1 install.

[Droid 2 General] enzojrc:
so.....here I am yet again asking/begging/kissing booty to get some help on correcting my NOOB mistake.

I downloaded RSDLite....and tried to unroot back to stock firmware. I downloaded what I thought was the stock firmware:

DROID2_X6_2.2.20_SHADOW_BP_C_01.09.05P_P2_USERBLD_SECURE.sbf

and now I have a nice baby blue Triangle where my 3G would show...and oh yeah I can't connect to the network at all.

I was unrooting because:

1) I can't use live wallpapers for some reason, don't have the option when I hold down the homescreen and figured I messed up so wanted to wipe my system clean.

2) I heard 2.3 update takes your root away, I tried to update OTA and(wow I just realized that means OverTheAir) and it keeps failing upon installation.

now I a stuck with a 2.2 brick lol....but not really lol...

I noticed some people starting threats about first impression problems, bugs, etc (myself included). Thought we could keep it all in one threat. I have 9 days left in my remorse period (bought the G2 first) and would like to get other people's opinions on issues they encounter.

So far my biggest concern is the weak external speaker. Its really hard for me to hear it with car noise in the background. Didn't have that problem with the G2 or Nexus.

Also my GPS would take forever to locate my exact position until I had TMo do a cancel location. Its better but still takes a while. The G2 would lock on instantly whereas my Nexus GPS seems faster 3 out of 4 times.

Still early in the game, will do some more testing soon.

[Nexus One General] player911:
I'm on my second Nexus One which I've had for a long time. The headphone jack is screwy and isn't a solid connection so music stops frequently thinking the headphone jack was removed.

I called HTC and they will warranty replace it but I asked about AMOLED vs SLCD and she said that I would get back a LCD Nexus One.

I know some Roms and Bootloaders are funky with the new SLCD roms.

Has anyone recently gotten back a Nexus One through warranty exchange and gotten an AMOLED screen. I don't think I want a SLCD backlit phone. I love the deep dark blacks and bright vivid colors.

What should I do?
