X8 Update

Hi,

I have a funny problem, I have rooted my X8 and have tried several different custamization codes to get my X8 updated from 1.6 but still no go and update service still claiming I have the latest version availible (even when I go back to my original code). Before i started I got a message that an update where availible and PC companion said the same but couldn't install the update service. The program "update service" stated that there where no availible updates.

I got my phone in Sweden but I reside in Australia where I try to update, has that something to do with it? The reason why I want to update it is that it is sending status SMS's every so often to a number in sweden as it is a prototype (not cheep from AUS) and my hope was that that was going to end if I got it updated. I have tried most that is said in this thread and soon I ill toss the my freebee phone .

Thank's

For anyone still having trouble, try flashing 1.6 ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=854181 ) then restarting your computer. An upgrade should be detected then.

I got this file, it's a .RAR. Inside there are two files:

1_3_A_0_50_APP_SW_Shakira_GENERIC_1236_9291_S1_SW_LIVE_3EDC_0001.sin_file_set

R3A_1_3_A_0_50_FSP_Shakira_WORLD_1_2_5_1236_9457_S1_SW_LIVE_3EDC_0001.sin_file_set

Can you explain me how to flash back to 1.6 my X8?

Thanks a lot

Rob
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] luisjoseb:
Yes Roberto, you must tu use Omnius, this app ask for two files and you press flash, but you need to pay a flash license.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] roberto010:
So, with these files it's not possible to flash without paying, right?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] racht:
Do not use omnius.

You can flash 1.6 or 2.1 firmware with Bin4ry's flasher tool for free, and with less complications.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] roberto010:
Does Bin4ry's flasher accept the files above mentioned?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] shaneggg:
I updated to 2.1 using the russian customization code but now I can't send text messages.

I'm on vodafone ireland. Anyone know what the problem could be?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] roberto010:
Can you please help me understand how to do it?

Do you mean that Bin4ry's flasher accepts exactly the 2 files that I have, that are:

1_3_A_0_50_APP_SW_Shakira_GENERIC_1236_9291_S1_SW_ LIVE_3EDC_0001.sin_file_set

R3A_1_3_A_0_50_FSP_Shakira_WORLD_1_2_5_1236_9457_S 1_SW_LIVE_3EDC_0001.sin_file_set

Any help is welcomed! :)

Android Market Term Of Service Attention an error has occured. Please try again later.

Hi guys,

I just bought SE X8 2 days ago.

I updated it into 2.1 with PC companion. The update went smooth.

At first I cant sign in to android market with my google account.

Then I tried to sign in to Youtube with my account and it went well.

I can sign in to Gmail as well.

The problem is, when i tried to open the Android Market, it opened the Term of Service window and it said :

"Attention : An error has occured. Please try again later. "

I have search for solutions in the web and tried these :

-Clear cache

-Remove battery

-Remove sim card

-Turn off WCDMA mode.

-Turn airplane mode on and off.

-synchronize account

My phone is not rooted or customized in any ways.

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] vineet8137:
Try using SEUS. You can find it on the official sony site or google "Download SEUS"

It should definitely update it
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Dare-Devil Inside:
How can you post here, you got only 1 post :D

Anyway, try to factory reset your phone.

Reinstall SEUS.

You could try this.

But, you gotta find 2.1 ROM after...
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] Techtu:
Just wondering what are your thoughts on the whole update on the phone? My sister currently has android 1.5 on her's and wondering is it really worth the update? What makes me ask is that the phone has little RAM and CPU power, does this effect the use? if so how?

If I update to the newer 2.1 will I still be able to roll back to the previous version if my sister doesn't like the newer one?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] aldee_s:
if your sister phone is X8, then how does it have 1.5? doesn't the old X8 has 1.6?

you didnt notice that in Donut, the display color is limited to 65k, but in Eclair it is not limited? didnt you know that X8's display is 16 Million Color?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] mhyke13ph:
is x8 right now displaying 16m colors? AFAIK it is still 65k in 2.1 and even on custom roms higher than 2.1 :(, thats to all 2010 xperia line up even x10i, but rumors it will have its 65m colors of upgraded to 2.3.3

The poster works for SE so information from him is reliable. Translated this information means that at monday final tests of the update will be started. They usually take 2 weeks to be completed. One week later update will start to appear for different regions. So if we are lucky in about 3 weeks we will have the update.

I got a few issues with this phone, for example does the angry birds-app freeze after a while playing it. Also the phone reboots after receiveing a file from my Samsung Galaxy S.

How do I look for upgrades for this phone? On my girlfriends phone I can check for you guys. I live in Norway and should have the Scandinavian benefits of early release.

Update to android 2.1 is not available yet. It will probably be available at the beginning of december. If you have problems with your phone you can try to update it using sony ericsson pc companion or update service software.

Hi all,

Looks like the the news on the roll out of 2.1 for xperia x8 is bull****.

Reasons :

1) nobody received an update (me included netherlands).

2) SE would be eager to anounce something positive about updates to 2.1 after the LONGGGGG awaited x10, but there is no news.

3) testing period of min. 2 weeks for new updates.

Some guy from Croatia said that the 2.1update will be released the 1-2 week in december, i hope he's right.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] nick_gkikas:
i think ericsson will delay the update in order to sell more x10 ,pro,mini as they will not sell any of them if they release 2.1 for x8 its the cheapest sony android and would be very powerfull with 2.1 so i guess we have to wait this sell trick they do
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] goeland86:
I don't think that's the problem: X10 and X10 mini are very different niche market phones. X8 is a more general market phone by comparison.

X10 competes with Samsung Galaxy S,

X10 mini is in a league of its own, don't know any other android phones that small... So really they're not going to sell more X10s because of the X8. They're just going to expand their market with the X8 period.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] FCW:
Ive just had a brief at work that the roll out is in 2 weeks. I work for o2 uk and we've had that many calls over it all staff have been given this info. I can also confirm that there will be no 2.2 update for us and that the update will be available through the SE website via the update service. You could use the ota function but id advise updating through your pc as its safer.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] goeland86:
Good news for us then!

I assume, since you work for O2, that this is for branded firmwares? So generics might come out a tad sooner?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] sig.alleh:
So , they will not do the update for Android 2.2 ?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] goeland86:
They probably won't do 2.2, because by the time froyo is out for SE, 3.4 will have come out from google...

Chances are they'll just skip a version. If they'll bother at all. I'm hoping we'll get the bootloader cracked soon, so we can get custom roms loaded soon ;)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] FCW:
I doubt they'll be any difference. They all come direct from SE. The o2 one i have doesn't have any branding as part of the firmware at all so i believe its a generic release.

SE wont do a 2.2, they've made that very clear. Thats most likely because its not cost effective for such a cheep android phone. they'll only do the big releases for it as they'res way to much work to do with theyre UI and that can cost millions each time they update.

I hope we get a custom bootloader soon as well. Im hoping to develop for this myself. Ive worked with wm6, 6.1, 6.5 and the 6.5.x betas so i want to make my first android rom with this one
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] goeland86:
Well if you wanna see the status, head over to the X10 dev thread, and read. I don't have much time for it myself, or I'd do it.

But do keep us posted if you make a ROM for the X8 :)

Thank you for contacting Sony Ericsson Contact Center.
