dude i updated to R2BA023 on the 10th July, and am on O2 UK. Unfortunately, it was OTA Update so i cant provide the files.
I did not debrand or root the phone.
Hi , some of the o2 phones where unbranded , got mine from o2 online and it was unbranded with no o2 software .Think thats why some o2 customers are getting updated.
Very Good News Folks.
The update all longed for is finally up. I connected my phone to the pc and guess what the 2.1 update is available. I have updated mine quickly update yours and enjoy excellent apps for Android 2.1.
Could you supply your build.prop file so I could update too?
have a look in dev section in x8
For here, SE website says it's available, but the phone says it's not...
Just tried. Still no update for Indonesia

sad.. still no update in indonesia..
i updated to 2.1 and everything is working well except for the wifi. Well it seems to work but it just can't establish a connection. Every time i try to connect it fails. I tried 3 different connections so far. Anyone having same problems?
EDIT: there seems to be some kind of a bug. It does connect but only occasionally, when it feels like it
You can edit your build.prop if youve rooted your phone.

Indonesia still did't get official update. But,if your phone is rooted, you can change build.prop to one of SI code that already have the update.
My X8 is changed to 1242-4841 and it's 2.1 now
Does anyone else have a problem with Android Market after updating? I had to reinstall market five times before it worked... Using 2.1.

Edit: I have a Malaysia model and no Voice Dialer or Search. Why?

Hi all,
I have an X8 (E15i) and I'm in Ireland using Vodafone. I'm currently on Firmware 1.6 build # 1.3.A.0.50Kernel Version 1.6.29 [email protected] #1
I've installed PC Companion and run the update option only to be told my phone is up to date!! WTF???
I see on the "About Phone" menu there is a "Software Update" option which I also ran and got the same answer i.e. "Your phone already has the latest software".
I'm really confused. I thought 2.1 was readily available for the X8.
Am I doing something stupid or forgetting to do something?
Ben
The update may not be available in your region yet.
Thanks a-k-t-w, do you know if there is a schedule published of when each country will be receiving 2.1 for the X8?
Alternatively, is there a step by step guide for rooting and installing 2.1 manually?
Ben
hey guys,
i´ve put the Generic Global Rom (Former LAM - 1234-4820)on my x10a to get all the updates from SE (.24 and etc) using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824711
well, it turned out that since then, my phone is "emergency only" and "no signal" all the time.
now I´m trying to return to Generic BR Rom (the one I was using before) through the same method, but PC Companion just ignores it and re-install the Generic Global Rom
any idea how can I return to the BR Rom or solve this signal problem???
Model: X10a AAD-3880074-AV
running default SE 2.1 Rom (2.1.A.0.435)
thx

Do you have multi touch in that ROM?
This must be a newer version than .24 ROM according to this
http://www.ptcrb.com/ctiastaff/complete/view_complete_request.cfm?modelid=16756
Dual Touch, Yes, but still with that problem when crossing axis; just like the hack
By the Way, Is there any Brazilian x10 owner Here?
I've used this methode alot on my X10 and i just tried it on the Arc and it still works great! To do this you'll need root and root explorer(or an other methode to change your build.prop) and a locked bootloader otherwise seus & pc companion wont work
I'm not responsible if you break your phone!
How to:
- Look up the customization number of the firmware you want to change to in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1082368
- Open root explorer and go to \system and open the build.prop file in the text editor
- Change the following three lines:
ro.product.name=LT15i_XXXX-XXXX
ro.build.fingerprint=SEMC/LT15i_XXXX-XXXX/
ro.semc.version.cust=XXXX-XXXX
Change the XXXX-XXXX into the customization number of your desired firmware
- Press the menu button and save & exit
- Reboot
- If you are using pc companion on you computer go to:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sony Ericsson\Update Engine\db\13740270\
And delete the blob_fs folder
If you re using SEUS on you computer go to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\13740270\
And delete the blob_fs folder
- Shut down your phone
- Use SEUS for update or use the repair function in pc companion
- Reboot and enjoy your new firmware
Worked for me Changed SI from UK generic to UK O2 and after reboot, PC Companion picked up the 2.3.3 update straight away
The irony of course is that it's actually an O2 phone anyway which I'd debranded after I'd bought it by flashing UK generic firmware! Thankfully the O2 firmware actually seems to have less crap than the generic one...
An easy way to debrand it for me was to reinstall the software using SEUS. It wiped out all the Orange stuff that was on mine.

the branding of the arc is a strange thing, i also had less bloatware on branded firmware

That's weird when reflashing without changing SI numbers it should reinstall the original branded firmware

noobish question..if i changed my SI into that of the UK O2 or the Uk generic, will it be locked to the O2/UK, can i still use the same sim card im using in my country? Any difference in the global firmware, i really want the global firmware but cant wait for the update..and if i changed it into the O2, can i update it using SEUS to get the .145 rom?

thank you so much for the quick reply..any changes to other roms, i mean is the O2 rom any different from the global rom or is there any annoying bloatware? Also can you hook me up with the SI number for the UK O2 or better yet, the generic UK SI number?

thank you so much you have been so helpful, gave you 2 thanks for all the help you've given me..trying it right now..
Would changing my number to somewhere where the 2.3.3 update is available already allow me to get it?
Also, does doing this erase your phone?
EDIT: Never mind the first question, didn't read through the posts in this topic.

Hi can anyone help a confused noob!
My Xperia Arc started life as the UK t-mobile branded one.
I used the helpful guides here to debrand it to the global .181 one.
However I keep trying to check from time to time for updated software to 2.3.3 and it says I have the latest one.
I can see a UK generic firmware released.
Now if I re-flash to that one - can I then update to 2.3.3?
I thought the purpose was that if I debranded to global .181 one - being global it would get the update more or less faster then other firmwares?
Sorry for the noobish questions - any help would really be appreciated!
Thanks

Hi thanks for that but you say I need "root and root explorer" - sorry where do I get these from? I presume my bootlocker is locked by default as I have not touched that part of the phone but do I need to root my phone as well? I haven't done that yet.
