[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ojpd:
Before my update my previous firmware was the Global Generic R2BA026. Ran SEUS this morning and got an update. It can't be the Nordic one since I didn't come from a Nordic firmware..

Is it all the same?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pablots1:
So, you have 2.1 Generic Global? mmm... i just tried to Update by Seus and it says that i have the most recently update and i have the R2BA026 Generic Global like you... Have you changed the Build.prop or something? how did you instaled the R2BA026?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ojpd:
No changes at all Bro...

And not that it's going to make a difference but I'd just like to add that way back then before going to Global Generic R2BA026 I came from the older Global Generic and then updated to R2BA026 Global generic via SEUS.

I was gonna try to debrand to Nordic this morning but luckily decided to check via PCC (no go) and then I tried with SEUS and just got an update.

I will upload the decrypted firmware when i get home as uploading is restricted at work thats if Bin4ry doesnt get there before me lol..

Hi,

I'm a new owner of a G2. I've been looking for a way to get USB tethering to work, but haven't managed to find the info on it. I saw in the wireless tether thread that sherifone gives a shoutout to teferi for "his original USB tether script", but couldn't find the post by teferi.

Is it possible to get USB tethering working on the G2? How?

I use pdanet and wifi tether both work.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delirial:
In case anyone else is wondering. I tried wired tether and it did not work.

Windows 7 could not locate a driver for it. The device is displayed in the device manager with the yellow icon overlay.

On the Mac, it detects a network adapter but expects account information and some other info.

Wireless tether seems to work, but it was very slow for me. That's probably because the reception at work seems to suck. It spends more time on EDGE than 3G.

I may try PDANet eventually. But to be honest, I wanted to tether at work (the client's site) because their connection sucks pretty bad. But with the speed I'm getting, I may just stick to the client's network.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] javagreen:
So I got the Nordic 2.1 update via the default.prop method and successfully rooted it and all. However, one issue nags me -- LauncherPro takes a good 16-20 seconds to load after the phone boots up -- any idea why?

Everything else works, my SIM is recognized, internet access etc.... just that LauncherPro decides it needs 16-20 seconds to load. During that while all I get is the status bar and a black screen [as LauncherPro continues loading in the background] and all I can do is wait until it loads the desktop :rolleyes:

We are all waiting for our country/operator specific update now that the Android 2.1 update has been officialy released for Nordic countries.

The aim of this thread is to exchange experiences and share news

for those of us who got the X10a hardware version

(850/1900MHz bands for some Australia, North America and Latin America operators)

If somebody with an X10a has already updated, please share if you got it straight from SEUS/PC Companion or by changing to a Nordic 1.6 first, and then updated to Nordic Android 2.1

A "Yes I just got 2.1" is now what we expect:

Please share as much info as possible

(method used to update,

tested radio 3G connectivity

, locale, operator/carrier, language, etc)

Let the fun begin

[EDIT NOV 04, 2010]

NAM 3G bands: CONFIRMED WORKING

Overwhelming feedback confirms both currently released Android 2.1 firmwares (Nordic and Global) DO WORK for the X10a.

jerpelea suggests Sony Ericcson may have unified the bands because the X10i firmware works on the X10a, 3G and all.

ENGLISH, SPANISH, PORTUGUES languages: CONFIRMED PRESENT

Source: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=824935

Released firmwares tested to date by xda-devs users:

- Nordic region Android 2.1 --> reported OK from many X10a users

- Global international Andoird 2.1 --> reported OK from many X10a users

- Notice: some users (espcially Rogers Canada) are reporting problems with 3G speeds (check next pages of this thread)

Where to obtain instructions and the Android 2.1 update firmware:

- 2.1 firmware "Nordic" and flasher by Bin4ry: (this is the one I used, a nice tutorial by user gfgodoy at post 3): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=825201

- 2.1 firmware "Global" and flasher by jerpelea: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=683793

- 2.1 firmware "Gobal" and flasher by MarylandCookie: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=825675

TIPS:

- Charge your phone, at least 50% prior to updating the firmware

- Extract the flashing tool into a folder in your root directory ("C:\")

- Make sure you put the firmware files into it ("C:\X10Flash-2.1\firmware")

- Make sure you have "SEUS" or "PC Companion" installed and you have connected your phone at least once (for it to install the USB drivers)

- For problems ("unable to open channel", "Exception in *** java", etc) plase check this nice thread by Bin4ry: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=823115

THE UPGRADE IS REVERSIBLE:

- If you test Android 2.1 and for some reason want to go back to Android 1.6 :confused: please check this thread by SaintyUK: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=824782

I just installed the X10i 2.1 on my x10a and rooted. It works fine except it occasionally loses 3g connectivity and steps down to the 'H' (I don't know what H means). But even in 'H' data works.

The big difference I noticed was the different apps loaded faster. But overall the system is still sluggish and bringing up the app menu is choppier than before. All the Sony stuff like Dialer, Mediscape, timescape are still choppy.

So I guess you will expect this on the x10a roms too.
[XPERIA X10 General] jly77:
H means HSDPA, which is better than 3G

I have updated my X10a using the flashtool as well. I noticed it was kind of laggy so I rooted and removed Moxier. The phone is much smoother and much faster now. I remembered this from when I debranded the first time, when I first bought my X10.

Also, I have tested 3G and it is working great. This will definitely hold me over until a true X10a ROM is released.

Market is working fine and I will update with anything I find, but so far so good.

Using Canadian X10a, debranded, now on rooted 2.1 generic and using on AT&T.

Awesome job to everyone involved and thank you to those who wrote up the guides and made everything as simple as possible.... Also, I must say the speed of the UI and all apps so far is BY FAR the biggest difference for me. My X10 now feels like a completely different phone..

I think it should be just a matter of flashing an X10a rom using the same method used to flash the X10i rom. You can flash any x10 rom over any previous x10 rom.

Anyways I flashed the x10i rom on the x10a to test it out and was impatient. It feels a bit snappier but nothing to be happy about. Also there are no problems with 3g. I had wished they had started building a 2.2 rom because by the time they started building 2.1, 2.2 was already out. I want all the latest apps. I don't care about the buggy Rachael interface. I will flash the x10a rom once its out. I just hope the developers crack the bootloader so I can get 2.2 since a lot of apps I want to use are 2.2 only.
[XPERIA X10 General] arcticreaver:
i think i will flash it even though it's x10i model. the phone has been a paper weight for the last few months and hopefully this update gives me a reason to go back to the x10. maybe with the update i can use it or at least switch it up with my nexus one.

[XPERIA X10 General] gtrab:
Indeed, 2 MB is already "H"

But our phones were not able to differentiate between "3G" and "H" with Android 1.6

let me explain:

"G" = GPRS = way slow (think of WAP browsing)

"E" = EDGE = up to 384 Kbps

"3G" = aprox. 1 Mbps

"H" = HSPA = 1.5 Mbps, 3.6 Mbps, 7.2 Mbps

"H+" = HSPA+ = 14.4 Mbps etc

Search wikipedia for more info and exact speeds

.

don't worry a solution will be found
