wait, what lol?

if i downgrade to 1.6, change the didgits to 1234-4824, run SEUS it just updated to 2.1 of that ROM ( NOT telstra which is what i need )

what do you mean by your post? i can change something to stop it going to 2.1:confused:
[XPERIA X10 General] Tony_C:
That is what is strange, changing the default.prop to 1234-4824 should make the phone look like telstra to SEUS. Where does it, SEUS, find the info for 1234-4820?

If there is only one system/default.prop and it has 1234-4824, there is no place to get 1234-4820!

There must be a way to search for a string within the system folder?

my phone has some serious problems, its not picking up sims card now.

atleast now i got the telstra ROM i can send it back for repairs

also, it says there is no update available, so telstra must not have released 2.1 yet, or its really ****ed up :p

Hi there

I'm about to buy an X10 tomorrow that will be branded with Optus firmware. I'd say it would be running Android V1.6. I will want to flash it with Generic AU firmware.

So from what I'm reading, I would have to root the phone, and then change the values of that file to the Generic AU CDA, as well as clearing out the db of SEUS. Basically following the walkthrough (what I have said is a very basic version of what has been posted)

After that, I would just update, and I should have a Generic 2.1 Android afterwards. Is my understanding correct?
[XPERIA X10 General] Tony_C:
Yes it is available and change to the correct CDA X10i CUST-AU GENERIC 1234-6150.
[XPERIA X10 General] jigar.in:
please don't buy x10

hi Awesome_Aleks,

why would you like to go for x10 if there are so many other better phones and brands in australia. i would suggest you to go for samsung galaxy S or may be htc desire and you can have those in optus too. Sony Ericsson in the company which now don't care about their products. and they have just updated x10 to 2.1 when already 2.3 is out and 3.0 is about to come in q3 next year. you can go for samsung gal.S because they are very fast ugraders of OS.

This is just a suggestion any ways...

Good Day Mate...

[XPERIA X10 General] 4e$ter:
Hi 2 all.

I want to begin to apologize for my English.

I want install firmware with Region ID 1232-4429 (this code under batery),

Previosly i have SEx10 with this code and android 2.1 , but later i install NORDIC firmware.

Now, when i change code by root explorer, SEUS write to me 'Your Phone's Software is up-to-date' and i cant do anything. Why? previosly i have 2.1 with 1232-4429, but now i cant =(

Please help.
[XPERIA X10 General] skynet77:
Hi m8 :)

I think you're using the wrong numbers here... For Region ID 1232-4429 if you look at the first post you'll find:

X10i CUST-RU GENERIC 1233-2792	1232-4428 Customized RU/Luster white, 1232-4429 Customized RU/Sensuous black

So in your case CDA is 1233-2792 and you need to insert that numbers in build.prop file. So basically, you need to use the code on the left, not the right one :)

I've just updated my phone to 2.1.1.A.0.16 ERA Branded using 1234-7484 :D
[XPERIA X10 General] _smurf:

Hi, I would like to ask you for a little help.

My xperia X10i:

baseband: 2.1.58

version: 2.1.1.A.0.16

bould.prop contains:

ro.product.brand=SEMC

ro.product.name=X10i_1234-7484

ro.build.fingerprint=SEMC/X10i_1234-7484/X10i/es209ra:2.1-update1/2.1.1.A.0.16/73_d:user/release-keys

ro.semc.version.cust=1234-7484

which is X10i PTC-PL GENERIC 1234-7484

a found it exists at least version X10i 2.1.A.0.435, well i changed the values above to:

ro.product.brand=SEMC

ro.product.name=X10i_1232-9897

ro.build.fingerprint=SEMC/X10i_1232-9897/X10i/es209ra:2.1-update1/2.1.1.A.0.16/73_d:user/release-keys

ro.semc.version.cust=1232-9897

which should be:

X10i GLOBAL-GGL GENERIC 1232-9897

but nothing happend.

no new update available (SESU,PC Companion and air tested)

Can somebody tell me what is wrong please?
[XPERIA X10 General] _smurf:
What should I do please?:( Im a newbie with android phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] 28spawn:
Anyone still using this trick?

I believe that SE blocked it! Because any change I make it dont allow me to update anymore =/

Byee
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
They didn't block it, I've just not updated the thread yet.

Now they do a check in the cust.prop file aswell, so you'll have to edit both build.prop and cust.prop with desired CDA number.

This was implemented in Sony Ericsson Update Service from version 2.11.3.5 and up.
[XPERIA X10 General] t-c:
The first post indicates for x10i how does the x10a differ as not to work with it?

I tried the 3 generic x10a CDA's in the instructions whilst on a BB49, I know that the x10a is up to BB65 now but none of these seem to provide this.

If the release is specific to a carrier then that maybe the reason but I would have thought that radio would have been common?

I imagine that this tutorial will become a lot more popular with the impending release of 2.3 and may warrant a revisit(just a suggestion).

Regards
[XPERIA X10 General] Garrytheogre:
stupid question

Hi I am trying to restore my girlfriends x10 to stock with a broken usb port using doomlords tutorial .

he states that I need to change si numbers to the appropriate ones . Its a white x10 on rogers Canada do I change

ro.product.name=X10i_XXXX-XXXX

ro.build.fingerprint=SEMC/X10i_XXXX-XXXX/X10i/es209ra:2.1-update1/2.0.A.0.497/8QFA:user/release-keys

ro.semc.version.cust=XXXX-XXXX

all to 1232-4506 ?

or do I have to use 1233-6929 somewhere ?

Thank you
[XPERIA X10 General] ImS0Raw:
you've to change them all to change region...
[XPERIA X10 General] Garrytheogre:
Yes but with what number set ? There are 3 sets of numbers in the list on the op the phone is white so that rules out the black set and I have changed all 3 to the white set (the same ones on the bac k of the phone ) but what are the numbers in the left collum of the op for ?
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
The first is the actual CDA which you need to change.

The secondary and third is the SI number which correspond to the CDA (The one you find behind the battery).

Remember you're on X10a so remember to change those aswell if you build.prop says X10i, if you don't do that SEUS or PCC wont recognize your device.
[XPERIA X10 General] t-c:
If I am using an unbranded non retail x10a which cannot be updated using the update tool, do I change the numbers in the build.prop to reflect those in the first post that are nominated as being x10a for the update tool to recognise the device as being that version of device? and leave the x10a as it is in the build.prop
[XPERIA X10 General] Garrytheogre:
Sorry still dont get it i'm feeling quite dense right now because im usually good at getting this stuff .

so the CDA = 1233-6929

and the phones si = 1232-4506

where do I put those numbers in respect to

ro.product.name=X10i_XXXX-XXXX

ro.build.fingerprint=SEMC/X10i_XXXX-XXXX/X10i/es209ra:2.1-update1/2.0.A.0.497/8QFA:user/release-keys

ro.semc.version.cust=XXXX-XXXX

in order to make the phone look stock ?
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
Will go in depth with this.

The first number is the CDA which is the only thing you change in build.prop. So don't even bother with the SI Number as it is has no relevance to the build.prop. In this case it only identifies the color of the device.

Marked in RED is CDA.

Marked in Green is the SI Number for each device (Sensuous Black/Luster White)

X10i CUST-NBC GENERIC [COLOR="Red"]1234-8465[/COLOR]	[COLOR="SeaGreen"]1235-5522[/COLOR] Customized NCB/Sensuous black, [COLOR="SeaGreen"]1235-5523[/COLOR] Customized NCB/Luster white
[XPERIA X10 General] keeglj:
where does one find the cust.prop file ? I have reinstalled my correct firm from olafs thread(original firmware).When i change the last two rows with my correct si and save itf fine,but when i reinstall via seus it goes back to the same value as my CDA number.

hi all,

i am really newbie at android... i will have a simlocked xperia tomarrow. does this method unlock it and makes simfree? or it just debrand it? pls someone help! thanka a lot!!!
[XPERIA X10 General] jayman1986:
No it does NOT unlock as stated on first page.

Debranding basically gives u the software that SE would have given straight from factory before it gets messed around by network operators.

But no your phone would still be simlocked and you wont be able to use other sims on it.

Tried to used PC Companion to do an update of the freshly modded build.prop phone on clean install/updated PC Companion and it now tells me that it can't update/repair a brown phone please connect to SEMC network. I'm aware that the phone is a factory "special" but haven't seen this error before. Anyone got a work around for this?
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
Brown phones is developer phones.

Have you tried Sony Ericsson Update Service?
[XPERIA X10 General] t-c:
SEUS indicates that the prototype phone with firmware CDA 1233-6929 is up to date.

When I change to 1234-4840 I would have thought that there would have been a change in the firmware but SEUS still indicates up to date firmware. This is when I tried the repair function on PC Companion. I take it that SEMC is an internal SE system? and not a different version of tool.

Where does the info on the "colour" come from? Is it an editable field or is it embeded in the hardware/software.
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
Hmm never dealt with brown phones before, so don't know how they behave in red (retail) enviroments like SEUS and PCC.

Maybe FlashTool will work, but I have no real clue to this.

I'll take contact to someone who knows more about brown phones and flashing them.

Don't think you can convert it to a red phone, as I think it's hardware related.

Does your IMEI start with 01 aswell?
[XPERIA X10 General] trig1999:
thanks for this, much appreciated
[XPERIA X10 General] t-c:
The IMEI starts with 004401, Prototype build AP2, would be good to know whether it is able to be converted. I have been flashing previous versions of factory software with the flashtool so I don't anticipate an issue but the current rollout appears to be x10i centric at the moment so it maybe some time before a x10a version is created.
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
You can use X10i firmware on X10a's and SO-01b's.

I've had X10a and SO-01b firmware on my X10i.
[XPERIA X10 General] t-c:
Thanks for the info, the only issue is that both the x10i & the SO-01B are both non 850MHz baseband devices(correct me if I'm wrong on this). If I only needed 2100MHz then I would have used the ftf's available for the x10i. Unfortunately my understanding of the baseband is limited to equating it to the RIL on HTCs or the MODEM on Samsung. On these the baseband has to cover the radio bands that you need & the hardware supports. If SE on the other hand produces a generic baseband to cover all the hardware bands then more than happy to flash the x10i.
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
That's what they do.
[XPERIA X10 General] t-c:
For my info, why the 2 variants in the firmware?
[XPERIA X10 General] ninjabeirut:
I dont know wich brand i should take for android 2.3.3???

[XPERIA X10 General] t-c:
Have a look at this thread,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1186045

determine which build is best for your region then with the CDA amend the build.prop using the method detailed in this thread.

Alternatively you could go do the Dev section and get the flashtool & the appropriate ftf and flash the firmware yourself.

I was on gloabal genric 1232-9897.

to get the GB i flashed my device with customised UK firmware.

Now how can i go back to my original CDA.

I didn't change my CDA earlier but it changed automatically after I flashed UK firmware.

I just wanna go back to my original CDA.

buddy i read ur rebranding guide......the thing is that u have mentioned there only for 2.1 & 1.6, but not for gingerbread.

Presently i'm on GB, and i wanna change CDA back to global genric.

can i do one thing?

like flash 2.1 gloabal genric on present UK GB?

will i be able to flash it via flashtool?

thanks

Just replace the numbers in the build.prop with the ones you wanna use and run SEUS.
[XPERIA X10 General] batman_112:
Does this work for X10a? Or just X10i still?
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
This works for all devices.

If you just use CDA for your device ie. X10a CDA's on X10a devices, and X10i CDA's on X10i devices.

any ideas?
[XPERIA X10 General] t_madex:
Hi there!

I'm with the same issue!

:confused:
[XPERIA X10 General] boyq:
Okay, you might wanna subscribe to this thread as well.

-The one written on the box, same goes with the number written at the back of your phone, is called SI number. The number written in build.prop is CDA/CDF number. This stands for the customization version of your firmware which differs by country/region/branding. CDA/CDF code in your build.prop is what SUS or PCC reads.

-Now, every phone have different lists of CDA/CDF numbers. They are posted in this thread: [SOLVED] force update by editing build.prop, Also: [WIP] list of CDA strings!

Since you have XMP(SK17), refer to this. Thank koperta4512 for providing us these codes.

This is weird. I purchased Root Manager, opened the file only to realize my default.prop file already has these values.. And still it won't find any new updates. Could it be because my phone is originally a X10a and I flashed it into an X10i a while ago (for update 026)?

Anyone has any clues/advice?
