Guys can you confirm that the CDA for Global Generic 1232-9897 is working for the sensious black x10i?
[XPERIA X10 General] Tiduz:
stupid question - just did this trick and updated, if i root this later can i put the id back to the netherlands?
[XPERIA X10 General] yipee:
Can someone confirm the global generic code works with this procedure?
[XPERIA X10 General] dogwoofer:
yep, done it here and its worked fine :)
[XPERIA X10 General] DaveHTC200:
Going for it.... going to flash to 2.1 Global Generic.

Wish me luck..
[XPERIA X10 General] yipee:
Let me know how it goes and which code did you use?
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
You're probably in a region where 2.1 isn't out yet.
[XPERIA X10 General] fuusuke:
Interesting, so even changing the region code shouldnt help?? i see other aussies who changed and it worked fine :(
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
Aussie? Then you're probably on X10a model. Use Flashtool method instead.

This is only for X10i as I clearly stated on the very first page.
[XPERIA X10 General] fuusuke:
It's an x10i model :[

Cant seem to get update through the flash method either, keeps saying i have the wrong deviceid when im sure its right.... meh

And you're sure it's not a X10a model running X10i firmware?

If it's bought in Australia it's always a X10a.
[XPERIA X10 General] fuusuke:
Oh i see, then you sir are correct :P

Not sure why mine isnt working, few aussies were able to get the update just by changing to nordic region :[

Does this work for specific regions only? I'm from the Philippines, and nothing SEUS could not detect any update for me.

Should I also change my country and region?

Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 General] DrunkAngel:
Thanks a bunch for the great work,

Really struggled at first to edit the default.prop file but finally got it edited.

Update to 2.1 currently in progress via PC Companion.

This worked a treat and have been using Nordick 2.1 for a couple of days now. Can I do the same thing with default.prop so's I can go back to UK Generic and get that update now? Can't find that file with Root Explorer in the system folder with this firmware - any help/ideas?????

Thank you

google universalandroot, download and install the apk file. open the app and then click root
[XPERIA X10 General] maxamus59:
Ahhh thank you!!!
[XPERIA X10 General] Casparovic:
Can u only get RootExplorer by buying it in the market? Or is there another way to change the file in the root map?
[XPERIA X10 General] maxamus59:
Nothing happens when I try opening the db folder.

I copied and pasted the link for where to find the folder in PC companion, but didn't get any results. What am I doing wrong?
[XPERIA X10 General] maxamus59:
oh, don't worry. I've sorted it...downloading 2.1 now!!! Thank you so much
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
Then you're all set to go... If the folder is empty you don't need to clean it out :)
[XPERIA X10 General] maxamus59:
btw...are there are consequences of doing the update this way, instead of waiting for my carrier (O2) to release it?
[XPERIA X10 General] maxamus59:
ok, i've done update. But when I start up the phone I'm shown a picture of the phone with a camera and flashing blue arrow pointing to it. What is this?
[XPERIA X10 General] maxamus59:
sorry, ignore me again...waited a while and this went away. 2.1 is up and running...thanks again!!

[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
Only use CDA codes for your model!

If it's a X10a then use X10a CDA Codes!

And only replace the numbers!
[XPERIA X10 General] frost866:
alright but will it change the model number too?

i mean x10i to x10a?
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
No.

It won't work if you use a X10i CDA on a X10a model!

Read the first post.

@arkedk

does 1.6 method work for x10a's.

can i change from

X10a CUST-AR NAM1 1237-1014

to

X10a CUST-GEL NAM1 1234-4820

using your method.

is there any other alternative to edit the file instead of using the root explorer.

Thanks a lot.

Regards.
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
Yes you can. You can use the 2.1 ADB Method aswell, just edit the default.prop instead of build.prop and edit the values described in 1.6 Method
[XPERIA X10 General] jigar.in:
Thank you very much.

I will try this soon.

I am also waiting for 2.1 update via SEUS or PC comp for x10a.

But no roll-out from SE yet. Also there are very less options for changing to generic x10a.

There must be WORLD GENERIC for x10a as well.

Is is possible for me to edit codes without the use of a PC?

I would like to change the code to that of Global or UK so i can try somthing to fix my stupid ass phone.

Grr! It is sort of useless without the use of a PC!!

2.1 for X10A

@arkedk

Sorry that i copied from your post just to explain what I did for x10A.

@Sighx

Don't get upset.

This method works excellent for x10a as well.

I used 2.1 ADB method on 1.6 x10a.

now let me tell you the most important thing.

There are only 3 customized/generic x10A firmwares in the world.

And till date only Brazil Generic 2.1 is released.

Ok, now i had Argentina 1.6 on my x10a.

So i used ARKEDK's method 2.1 ADB to change the numbers in my DEFAULT.PROP file.

For ROOTING my device i used x10root1.0.8.apk which you can find it here...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7913568&postcount=338

There after follow

2.1 ADB Method only for Rooted Devices

Download Android SDK (find it on android developers website)

Extract to your C:\

Remember to turn on USB Debugging (Go to your Settings>Applications>Development>Check USB Debugging).

Unmount your SD-Card from your computer (Pull down the notification bar on your phone and press the "Turn off USB Storage" and press "Turn Off")

Start cmd.exe, and go to your "C:\android-sdk-windows\tools" folder.

type:

Code:

adb shell

then type:

Code:

su

Remember to keep your screen unlocked. Superuser App will ask for rights here. Allow it to have Super User rights when the pop up comes.

then type:

Code:

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

then type:

Code:

busybox cp /system/build.prop /sdcard/build.prop

NOTE: for x10(both A and I) 1.6(not 2.1) use default.prop, instead of build.prop. (very simple)

Keep the adb shell running.

Remount your SD Card on your computer (Pull down the notification bar on your phone, and press "USB Connected" and press the "Mount" button")

Open the build.prop default.prop (for 1.6) file on your computer using Notepad++

And replace the XXXX-XXXX with the ones desired (complete CDA list can be found below. Remember to only use X10a CDA for X10a models and vice versa, or else SEUS or PC Companion won't recognize your device)

Code:

ro.product.name=X10_XXXX-XXXX

Code:

ro.build.fingerprint=SEMC/X10_XXXX-XXXX/X10i/es209ra:2.1-update1/2.0.A.0.497/8QFA:user/release-keys

Code:

ro.semc.version.cust=XXXX-XXXX

Save the file and close down Notepad++

Now unmount the SD Card from the computer by bringing the Notification bar down on you phone and pressing the "Turn off USB Storage" and press "Turn Off"

Go back to the adb shell console and write.

Code:

busybox cp /sdcard/build.prop /system/build.prop

(again default.prop for 1.6)

then type:

Code:

reboot

Your phone should now reboot. When complete clear out your "db" folder (described longer up) and run SEUS or PC Companion to change region, rebrand or debrand to the region you chose.

After REBOOT, I went to update settings in the phone to check if there is an update.

I am having GPRS connection for this, and I got the notification instantly about the update. Before changing the CDA numbers, i used to check for update many times, but failed. But yesterday I saw in one post that Brazil update for 2.1 is available. So i followed ARKEDK's method to check, and now i am on 2.1.

Huh, thanks ARKEDK. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Tony_C:
Rebrand Using SEUS or PC Companion

Thanks to all who have made updateing X10a to 2.1 possible.

I have updated my AT&T X10a to the generic X10i 2.1, it runs fine. In preparing for when X10a generic is available I looked into methods to rebrand back.

It looks like SE changed both SEUS and PC C., so that the procedure define here no longer works. Has anyone been able to rebrand using them?
[XPERIA X10 General] jigar.in:
never change from x10a to x10i or vice versa

because after doing so, you can not update using SEUS or PC companion.

you have done a mistake changing your x10a to x10i.

There are generic x10a's available.

Now it is better to flash it back to x10a, and then again update using ARKEDK method.
[XPERIA X10 General] PartyVirginX10:
I have exactly the same problem now, i changed from nordic to UK generic and when connecting with SEUS it says that i ve got the newest version and wont even allow me to repair.

am i missing something here ?
[XPERIA X10 General] leobg:
Why would somebody care about SEUS when we have x10flash developed by our beloved developers here which can let you flash whatever you want?

I have X10i Global Generic on my X10a and I am yet to see a problem, phone works fantastically well especially after few tweaks here and there.

Sorry new to these rooting....
[XPERIA X10 General] zagorteney:
It's because I think, that there is some bugs (for example, I can not download anything from market, but with android 1.6 it works), caused by wrong customization/region. And I can't try nothing else, because there is no firmware with CDA 1235-5528 to download. And if I need to take my X10i to repair, I suppose that I need original firmware (number under battery).

Regards, Zagor

P.S. Maybe this is not a theme for this post, but do you notice, that the gray buttons in interface of lot apps are to dark / nonreadable. In android 1.6 this was not problem?

[XPERIA X10 General] madsatan:
Which numbers should put input to make my phone from nordic to japanese version.....??

I have updated my phone earlier to nordic a week ago
[XPERIA X10 General] jigar.in:
one should not change to different model number(i.e. x10a to x10i) only because, as it happened with 1.6, version 2.1 is also not a finished product. there are many flaws left in it at the moment.

So when people will start shouting about those, there will be minor updates to come from SE. so better not to change the model number, else you will not be able to update directly, and will have to wait for the ROM to flash it again.
[XPERIA X10 General] jigar.in:
flash it again with x10a ROM.

But it is very hard to find x10a rom.

try to find in this forum.

good luck for that.

better advisible to stay with the same model number from the begining.
[XPERIA X10 General] Alchemist-a:
Look, buy a omnius-server one day license, it's costs 4 bucks, then flash you x10 to the original firmware (I think it's not necesary but I did that way), it can be downloaded from the omnius-server page, then download the root exploit from xda and apply it, then follows the instructions in this post but changing to the firmware of brazil, 1234-4836, the run seus as normal and wait. It works for me and now I have 2.1 x10a and works really good.

Greetings from CHILE.
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
You need to flash back to a X10a ROM with Flashtool and then change the default.prop file to the Brazilian X10a CDA. Then use SEUS or PC Companion to Update with.
[XPERIA X10 General] ze_p3dr0:
Hey,

I've installed 2.1 just to test it, but it was too unstable, to reboots, etc.

So I returned to 1.6, used Nordic_Flasher to do so. Now I have Nordic 1.6 v026

I want to reinstall my Portuguese v024 for future updates, changed the default.prop file to 1235-2669 or 1234-4585, on PC Companion i tried to repair the instalation, to it to install Portuguese version, bit it says there is no software for my phone version. On SEUS it says I have the latest but no repaid button :(

Tried to flash with another RA2B024 and to the above mencioned, and the same happens.

Ideas?

[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
H is 3G HSDPA, which is better.

And since this method only works when the correct firmware for you model is installed, you need to then install a X10a firmware for this to work for you.
[XPERIA X10 General] anishbhatia:
how can i get my correct firmware for x10a as i dont have backup of my firmware. should i install generic x10a firmware & then change region like i tried in 2.1. then can i use pc companion or SE update service to get 3 branded as it was earlier ?????.
