Did you empty the temp and db folders as I said? If you've already searched for an update before, files inside those folders can prevent the application from finding the update even if you change customization code.

Did you verify the code change by checking the service menu?

Do not quite understand what you mean here. Did PC companion detect your phone as a E15i even after reflashing the stock E15a firmware?
[XPERIA X8 General] roberto010:
Hi, I'm from Italy and I have the same problem. My X8 is an E15a and I didn't manage to update to 2.1! I know for sure (from italian forum) that there is a 2.1 update for X8 for italian market but I tried and tried with no results...

I managed to update to 2.1 with russian firmware but I lost 3G capabilities, so I downgraded to 1.6 using a ROM image found on the web (E15a_Generic_Global_1_2_5_1236_9457_R3A) flashed with Bin4ry.

@erak: PC companion doesn't give any info about the model (E15a or E15i) just says connected). If I try to make a repair I always get an error message.

Is there a way to get the right dsp1.sin file?

Any help is very welcomed!

Rob
[XPERIA X8 General] luisjoseb:
Hi Erak and Roberto, I answer the two thinks in this post.

I delete two folders in the SEUS folder and try to flash again with SEUS and said that no new software are available to this model.

The answer of Roberto is correct, well, all time I test with the file E15a_Generic_Global_1_2_5_1236_9457_R3A, and the behaviour is the related in this post.

Update 1: Today i try with this firmware E15a_Claro_CL_world_1_2_5_1243_5247 and now work and I can made a repair with PC commpanion, I made the test and update the post with the related solution.

Update 2:Yes!!!, the update works, I now have 2.1 upgraded with PC Compannion

Thanks
[XPERIA X8 General] luisjoseb:
First post update, thanks for your help
[XPERIA X8 General] roberto010:
Nothing to do, Luis... I don't know why, but SUES continues to say "No update available".

May I ask you to extract the ROM from your phone and send it to me (FTP or other ways)?!?

Thanks a lot

Roberto

UPDATE - Finally I figured out what's the problem! My X8 is a prototype, IMEI start with 0044 and it's not possible to update it using SEUS because SE locks the updating process. On the other hand flashing tool (like Bin4ry) works perfectly!!!

Now the problem is to have a ROM image for E15a!

Luis, help!!!!
[XPERIA X8 General] luisjoseb:
Hi Roberto,

I can share to you the 1.6 firmware that I use to flash in My Phone, the firmware is from "Claro Chile" and have a boot logos and background of this operator. I don't have any 2.1 firmware to this model and I could'nt find it in Internet, I only can upgrade to 2.1 using the PC Compannion with different customization code, I can share the build.prop used to upgrade.

Bye
[XPERIA X8 General] roberto010:
Thanks a lot Luis. I already have a 1.6 image taken from Omnius; what I miss is 2.1 image.

There is a "easy" way to extract the image from your phone using SEUS. Just go to:

C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\13740270\blob_fs

Now order the files by dimension and take the first 3 big files that you find, like in this picture.

http://www.tuttoericsson.com/images/stories/peppo/1/dec1.jpg

Make a ZIP file and send it to me. I'll do the rest.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Roberto

P.S. - I'll send you a PM with the instruction of where you can upload the file.
[XPERIA X8 General] luisjoseb:
Ok, Roberto, I am at work, in the night I will make the zip file and will send to you.
[XPERIA X8 General] roberto010:
Thanks!

:)

Just to be sure that in the folder there is only ROM image 2.1, you should delete the content of folder db and ask SEUS to make a new flash of the firmware. Now you should find in folder blob_fs only 3 big files of 2.1 firmware.

Rob
[XPERIA X8 General] luisjoseb:
Thanks Roberto, I update the post with the firmware 2.1 to E15a, and update the first 3 post in this threat.
[XPERIA X8 General] mddelala:
Hey, do you know if it's possible to have an e15a firmware rooted?

I'd love to enable JIT and apps2SD but I absolutely need to have 3G (for some strange reason, I only get a signal in my office while using UMTS).

Thanks a lot!!
[XPERIA X8 General] luisjoseb:
Yes, you can root 1.6 with the same procedure published in another post in this thread.

To 2.1 i don't test yet, but i think thath is possible following the steps in another threads but flashing the e15a firmware.
[XPERIA X8 General] Imppy:
have anyone with the E15a version actually tried that?
[XPERIA X8 General] Imppy:
so I just need the dsp1.sin file for the E15a version and it should work?
[XPERIA X8 General] luisjoseb:
Hi, i update the first post with the root methood for 2.1 firmware, this work fine.
[XPERIA X8 General] Imppy:
yes works fine
[XPERIA X8 General] luisjoseb:
Hi, the customization code of Sony US now upgrade your E15a to the build 2.1.1.A.0.6
[XPERIA X8 General] luisjoseb:
For e15a users, can use this link http://www.megaupload.com/?d=U4FWILXI to download the latest 2.1.1.A.0.6 firmware to flash with Binary flasher tool.

[XPERIA X8 General] roberto010:
Never used xrecovery... Do I have to put the files in the SD card of the X8?
[XPERIA X8 General] luisjoseb:
See firt post, udpate the links again, the file thah you download works fine with xRecovery, and is the easy way to upgrade the E15a because this don't have this version yet, you flash the 2.1.1.A.0.6 version and then with xRecovery overwrite with the 2.1.1.C.0.0 and have the latest firmware.

To E15i you can flash with the flash tool directly
[XPERIA X8 General] MrCzAjNiK:
The main question is did you have root and recovery. Easiest be when you just update by seus...

Anyway if you have.

1. Make 'xrecovery' folder in your sd card.

2. In 'xrecovery' folder make new one 'backup' and in it 'latest'.

3. Put extracted files from this zip into it.

4. Reboot into recovery.

5. Use 'backup and restore'

6. Choose latest and wait.

7. Reboot.

e15a: use SEUS! and carefull with build.prop

Great post!!

I used your guide and I wanted to share my bricked recovery experience with the other users.

I have an e15a and tried the recovery method via Flashtool. I had no success, every single time the flash was aborted becasue it was unable to flash the loader.

So I tried the recovery via SEUS, and It went perfectly. :D

The program detected my phone as alredy updated to the latest firmware, but it gives you the option to force the update.

:D

I recommend the e15a users to recover via SEUS. Just google for it, latest version now is 2.11.7.13, and make sure you download it from the SE servers (you don't want to brick your PC too, do you??)

XD

Also, I would recommend to those running custom roms to be carefull with the build.prop content. Many custom ROMs are built from e15i and you don't want SEUS to recognize your phone as e15i ROM that will cause you hardware misbehavior.
[XPERIA X8 General] BIG JD:
just flash my phone with pc companion cheak the firmware and mine is 2.1.1.A.0.6 and that in the uk/northern ireland so can you tell me is 2.1.1.C.0.0 is a costom firmware or where is it for? :D
[XPERIA X8 General] elderduke:
http://www.ptcrb.com/ctiastaff/complete/view_complete_request.cfm?modelid=17877

So, depending on Area and provider I guess, updates are available or not. 2.1.1.C.0.0. is the latest official update arround here, but in other regions is not available yet. SE deals? maybe. Regardless, you can find in this forum the oficial update as well as modified ones (i.e. Hstock).

Microsoft Planning Second WP7 Device Launch at MWC?

File under: News

By: Evan Blass | 9:38 AM 16-Dec-10 | 2 Comments

Microsoft and its OEM partners may be planning to launch a second round of Windows Phone 7 devices during February's Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona, Spain. According to Taiwanese publication Digitimes, which often has its finger on the pulse of the Asian consumer electronics industry, Redmond is working with Chinese manufacturers like Lenovo, Huawei, and ZTE to enable a second-half launch with Mandarin-friendly input capabilities. Moreover, Asus may use the rumored launch to out its E600 handset, a smartphone which has been in the works for over six months, and just recently lost its short term FCC confidentiality -- revealing a gallery of photos plus a user manual.

While Redmond has yet to reveal initial sales figures for the nascent platform, anecdotal reports have been mixed: some source report little interest in the handsets, while other "venues" can't seem to keep them on the shelves. Digitimes notes that Android has been making serious inroads in China, providing yet another potential barrier to entry for WP7, in one of the world's most important markets.

Besides the HTC Trophy on Verizon and HTC 7 Pro on Sprint, US consumers are also expecting a device called the HTC 7 Melody to arrive next year, as well as a full Dell Venue Pro rollout, naturally. Current Windows Phone 7 owners can look forward to at least one, if not several, platform upgrades in the coming year as well.

"Never been a follower, so why would I buy an Iphone?"
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
i wouldn't say this is a second launch but merely a second wave of handsets. the OS is already out there and selling. but merely introducing more products to the market. i imagine that there will be a lot more than just a few more handsets.
