Which version of 2.1 are you running ? (Generic Global, Nordic, ...)

Does your x10 is branded ???

Does your phone say there's no SIM card ?

As far as I can tell, it looks your phone is not configured properly to work with your provider. Try to download automatically settings or manually edit provider parameters (you can get these probably on this forum, or from Vodafone's site. I guess they can even automatically send am auto-configure SMS :) )
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mk67:
Clear, don't use pc compagnion !! :D

Seriously, just reflash with flashtools in firmware update. More easy, more robust. You probably have an incompatibility with the new x10 drivers pc compagnion update it self and your own usb drivers.

flashtools use its own windriver for usb, so ... just try.

I had the same problem. Whenever computer detected new hardware it gave a message "Found New Hardware" "SEMC device" and hanged. Then I tried other computer (another desktop) but same message popped up there as well. Finally I resolved the issue by installing SEMC flash driver (available on xda website in some other forum). Now here's the procedure. First don't open PC companion or SEUS. Just insert USB cable into your phone when your computer is on. This should pop up the message "Found New Hardware." At this stage install the driver and re-start the computer. Now open Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS) (don't use PC Companion) and update by following the steps given there. Hope this will resolve your issue as well. I installed Android 2.1 successfully. You may read this thread as well if you want more info:

Indeed, the best thing to do is not to try to flash X10 to a rom dumped from this site using official Sony Ericsson software. (although most of time it will work)

It may indeed compromise flashing... If you want an "official" firmware, then you can use SE products to get roms directly from SE sites. If you get roms from here, you can (and should) use flashing tool provided. Not better, but specially built - with love and beer :D - for flashing these particular roms :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mk67:
Well, I'm not alone.

I did many things to solve the issue, but still nothing.

I will try later to go back to 1.6 and see what's going on. I just hope the phone is properly rooted to backup apps with my script (linux only , sorry)

Flashing usually takes about 5-15 minutes, but several computers configuration may slow the process (USB 1.1, bad power supplying, ...)

I am poting all my help request posts here again for any solution......these messages i already posted in another thread as well "X10 Flash 2.1 Final + Global World Firmware 2.1" But so far am waiting for any solution......

Here is my Issue

I tried installation of 2.1 with SUES as i got the popup message for new software availabilit. SUES download files but when installation started, just after around 2% it stops and gives message installation failed. and then shows yellow exclaimation mark. I than unbrick it with Newbee guide method.

Than tried to flash it with Global world 2.1. Flashing process goes fine, ends and ask "press any key to continue....." I hit and after that when I reboot my phone it start and shows message "No SIM car in the Phone" and give only option of "Emergency Call only"

As mentioned in the process i should see a camera and Arrow after reboot - but instead phone goes straight to normal screen and shows the above message.

I also tried later again with Nordic FW it also did the same....flashed but with same result.

During Nordic Flashing i noticed that it stays for around 2-3 minutes at "Flashing system.sin" and than after a while ends process and ask to press any kee to continue..."

My X10i is now back on FW23 through newbee guide. I am unable to install 2.1 through SUES, even with PC Companion, nor with Flashing methods.

Any body please help........any solutions

Anyone else having a problem sending large texts? I use chompsms(paid) and now instead of 160 characters per text it says 70 . So, when sending a 100 or more character text, it fails and won't send. Then locks up for a few minutes and I can't send a small text without failing. Meanwhile, the first large text still tried to go thru because the recipient says they got a weird message from me.

Thought maybe it was chompsms but it does it with the regular SMS app as well. I've ran into this problem before while running 1.6, but that was usually from a 3 or more page text I was trying to send.

I'm on at&t, x10a(i now) with the global 2.1 fw. Calls seem to work fine, louder than before, and everything else works. So any help would be appreciated. I still don't know why it says 70char max instead of 160 like it was before, or like all my previous phones had(the 160). I've changed the chomp setting to 600kb max because that's what all my other phones maxed out at for at&t mms/sms

What does your Android say about the sim card ? (message error ? Sim card draw on notification bar ? Etc...)

You may try to flash back to 1.6 and see if it works, or try to reflash your x10.

As you can get "official" 2.1 kit for your Xperia, you should use it (or use rooms from XDA to unbrand).

But that's indeed not normal that your SEUS crashes like that, I remember Ive seen some people getting this problem. I'll check this tomorrow but you should have a look on SE Product Blog (google) and on official SE forums, I think Ive seen kinda problems there.

Have you done any change in character encoding ? Or maybe that's a bug caused by wrong carrier parameters (ones downloaded automatically ; it looks not anyway...).

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perceval from Hyrule:
Hum, weird indeed !

I've googled this, it appears to be a common bug for Blackberry users : they can be stuck on 70 chars because of bad data coding (coding must be 7 bits to get 160 chars).

Regarding this bug, your problem *might* be a bad data coding, since there are few coding datasheets.

But I have right now no idea about how to display your current data coding and the way to change it. Stay tuned ;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redincali:
Ok thanks. What's the coding in, the phone itself, the stock sms app, or possibly my chompsms?

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perceval from Hyrule:
Indeed, 16 bit coding = 70 chars. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMS#Technical_details)

Maybe your phone turned to 16 bits, it should affect any SMS app (stock, system, 3rd party...) but I have right now no idea at all how to check coding and change it.

Hmm I wonder why. Maybe I should reflash when I get home? after flashed I ran my backup for everything so maybe that messed the message system up. Ill let you know the results in about 4 hours from now. Thanks again

Are you using the regular backup and restore from sony, that also comes in 2.1? Did you get the latest version of backup and restore before you made your backup?

It didn't do my apps when I did a complete restore but if you run it again and uncheck everything but applications, it should install them. They aren't actually saved, the backup just saves their name then one by one it automatically finds them and asks you to download if you want.

As far as the contacts go, you might need to turn the google contacts on. To do that, open your phone, click contacts, then clock the button at the top left next to the search bar and turn on All Contacts and the Google one.

MMS sending troubles are pretty significant that your phone works fine but carrier parameters are wrong. As I remember, it is very easy to change MMS parameters, but I don't remember where's the menu and I can't help you about the correct parameters :eek:

The global uses the "normal" market (with some locale-content preferred, like 1.6) as far as I know, you may miss some apps since some, just stamped "invalid" regarding 2.1 and are not displayed in the liste. Example, with your 2.1, search for Adobe Flash, you won't see it as it is only for 2.2+ ;)

I would suggest to try download using a QR scanner on Androlib ^^
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perceval from Hyrule:
Mmh, sorry but I have no idea about this :(

As Backup & Restore created a backup package on your computer, you can try to find it and extract content ? (You should find all your APKs)

After flashing, you can only have an idea of what you got by seeing (the most recent part of) your download queue in Market. All paid apps are here of course :)

About your contacts, happy to know you got it back :) But as you're running a Google OS, why wouldn't you use the Google Contacts functionnality ? Cloud all your contacts, access to them anywhere/from any device and... if you flash your phone, simply enter your Gmail/password and you got all your contacts back -- I'm using it, so great, only very few stuff to configure :) :) :)
