[Q] Updating Xpeira X2 with R3AC036 firmware using SEUS - XPERIA X2 General

Dear all,
I just saw in se-nse.net forum under the thread "Firmware List from SEUS" that the latest firmware for X2 is R3AC036.
Can someone help me out if this firmware can be installed on my phone.
My phone currently has R3AA035 firmware, GENERIC_SG. I live in India. I'm unable to update to this R3AC036 firmware using SEUS.
How do i update to that firmware. I read on some forums that this firmware has more updates.
Please let me know. Thanks in advance.

the update is in Chinese language you can check this thread for changes(use google translate)

No english firmware R3AC036 for Xperia X2?

Thank you very much. But i came to know about this firmware update after looking at this very link. Google's translation makes it all look crazy.
You're saying its a Chinese firmware, so that means there's no english firmware R3AC036?
Do you have an Xperia X2? Does it give good battery life?
My X2's battery gets drained really fast. I tried disabling Slideview and Panels but i did not see any drastic change. I reset the device to factory settings. Deleted a few unnecessary panels and the battery seems to last similar to when i disabled Slideview and Panels.
I really like Slideview and SPB panel. I just don't feel like deleting everything this phone was actually advertised for.

yes i have x2,the battery life is really good with moderate usage last 2 days
as for the panel system I've disabled it using sktools... for 2 reasons ... memory depleting and power hungry.

is there more info on this thing ?

No i guess not until some expert advice is seen here. I'm hoping someone here might look up into the highlights in the new update and whether there's an English version of R3AC036 for Xperia X2.
Would definitely love to have a perfectly functioning X2 instead of compromising by deleting and disabling everything in it.
Seniors please help us.

Experts, any help?

i think any one can update to this firmware by avery simple solution
-change language to chinese then update with seus , full description here
then you would get the new update,but the question is "can you revert back to your original rom???"

Hey, thank you, but that method looks a bit risky to me. If something goes wrong, the phone won't even have the customizations in its ROM to bring it back to normal.
Its strange that no one is talking about this new firmware in Xda. There must have been some reason SE has released the firmware update.
I'm wondering why SE hasn't released this new firmware for all regions?

I dont think that would solve his problem. Did you try updating on fresh installation of win 7. there should not be any problem with the os or the drivers because i've updated my X2 so many times with win 7.
Just let us know what method you're following after starting SEUS. Does your phone act normal when you do what you're supposed to do during that.

you try to check the Windows Firewall !! perhaps usbsync or wmdc have been blocked by them..

Is there anybody from China here in XDA who has an X2 and has updated their firmware? They would be the best people to explain the difference(s) between 035 and 036 firmwares. Please do not hyperlink to chinese forums and suggest using google translation.
Clearly explain the changes you've noticed in your X2 (better or worse, and how)
Please help all the X2 users.

please help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a Swedish X1. Just tried to update firmware and got the message that the latest firmware is already installed. The one I have is the one mentioned earlier in this post (SE CDF1215-3315) - which then is what the phone shipped with.

Run IE on your machine, then install Flash. Most likely you have Flash 10 for Firefox.

Do Not Update Your Xperia X1 Using The Sony Update Service...

Do not use sony update service just yet
Although Sony DO NOT yet have a firmware update for the Xperia, the update service still gives you the option to restore the phone by reinstalling the currant firmware version.
But DO NOT USE THE UPDATE SERVICE JUST YET, consult sony technical service first, if you are experiencing problems and are looking to restore via update service. (vista 32 bit, i also know one case on windows xp from a xperia user)
I carried an update to restore the original firmware and the phone got blocked(bricked) update stops at 11%
i had to send it back and purchase a new xperia.
Excellent phone, hope all Xperia users are enjoying the experiences with X1
WHAT??!?!?!?!? They didn't exchange it or something?
i dont understand, this is windows mobile, why would we need to upgrade firmware? If anything, we just need to hard reset the phone and its back to factory. I mean there are custom roms but we cant flash it until we have a hard spl
Updates
you wanna be able to update the phone to fix bugs in the FW, like the Bluetooth disabling itself issue, or the panels being slow etc.
As to y u would wanna re install the existing FW, some people might have messed around and bricked their phone, a quick solution would be to reinstall the FW.
I can help you with flashing to generic firmware on X1.
Just send me a PM.
I have uploaded the list of firmwares available.

Can you please help me, and tell me where I can download the Generic AT Rom for X1, I need to send it back, but was not able to get this ROM? even the Update service of SE, there is no option to restore, it say only, that there is no new software for it.
Please help, and is there any special SPL I need to use?
thanks in advance.
I'm glad I came across this thread. I was about check for updates but I sure wouldn't have reinstalled the same firmware version. Anyway, I guess I should just wait for the next update and update the phone after I find out how it makes the phone better.
... to late, ive already updated it with the latest dutch vodafone rom version. luckly it didnt brick.

how to force update

Been reading this forum all night on how to update an X2. Whenever i run SEUS and try to update, i always end up at "You have the latest version" with no other option except Exit.

what software version and language region are you currently running????
If you try to upgrade to an SW-version that's not relesed, then you indeed have the latest software-version installed. But if you know that you should have an update available, then install the needed "language-faking-cab" from over here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=684323
I tweaked the language-cabs to fake that the phone has R1AA097 (i think this was the MR1-version.. Please correct me if i'm wrong!!) installed. This makes SEUS to upgrade to the most recent version.
Hi
I just checked Device Info:
Software ID 1235-3922
Software Ver R1BA014
Customization ID 1236-0080
Customization Ver R4A
Software Language English (US)
Sorry if the question is too newbie. Flashing the X1 and other HTC phones were easy for me. But this X2 seems to be so different.
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general
Same problem....., any solution ? Already trying all possible things described there with no success.
still trying to understand the other threads here. been trying the language cab -> reset after calibrate -> force update option...
but still no force update option.
is there still no solution to this?

Xperia X10 Sim and Clock Problem

Hi all,
Hope you can help.
My X10 is fantastic BUT.....the clock has stopped updating itself and only works by manually adjusting the time and not having it set to 'automatic network-provided values'.
Could this be related to my problem I had last week? I was updating my security and was locked out of my phone, now each time I switch my mobile on I have to enter the PUK Code!
Very frustrating I cannot figure it out,my internet setting are default and turned on, I have a 3G signal...etc...can anyone help?
Many thanks
JP
Holy ....
Did you even think about using the forum search engine?
Example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=38033592
Both topics have been discussed a few times...
@Mods: PLEASE close....
Hi McKebapp,
Thanks for your replay, sorry a late reply been out all day.
I did use the search engine and read the earlier posts however didn't feel I have obtained the answer I require.
Some suggest it is the network provider, debranding mobile, using task killer, none of which apply to me. It seems the only option or solution is to manually set the time?
I too have contacted Sony for support but no reply.
I have also searched for an answer to why my mobile is Sim PUK Locked each time I resart it?
Any help is appreciated.
JP
O.k., then I won't be that mean.
Could you please note some specs of your phone?
Whats the exact firmware version?
Do you make use of a taskkiller or not?
To you PUK problem: Please put you SIM card into another phone to check out if its a problem of the SIM itself...
Thanks McKebapp,
Glad Im not in trouble I do appreciate the help.
Mobile Info...
Model: X10i
BaseBand: 1.0.14
Kernal: 2.6.29-rel [email protected]#2
Build No: R1FA014
Firmware version: 1.6
As for task killer, I have no evidence of this or a simlar software on the mobile applications. Packages I have installed only include games, Swype & application installer)
I inserted the sim into my LG Viewty and it required the PUK to access the phone.
Thanks
JP
O.k. .14 is the oldest offical Firmware. Search the forum or xperiax10.net for the debranding tutorial and whip that thing atleast to .16 or directly to. 21 if there really is no task manager or killer or so running.
To your PUK: Talk to your provider, what is to do...
Hey about clock problem, i had the same problem & i reinstalled firmaware using SEUS & it helped. My firmaware is R1FB001 now. Check, may be you can also get latest firmaware
About sim, it seems you've problem with your sim card. You can get a new one from your carrier i think
I have this problem after unbranding my phone. If I use the automatic time feature it will be about 1 hour behind real time.
Setting up the time manually keep the time correct though, but I hope they do fix the issue with the 'May' update.
Hi Mckebapp,
Thanks for the help. I will look to upgrade the firmware as you hve noted.
Regards
JP

Please Help Need to find DEV firmware for X10 prototype

Hello,
Sorry for disturbing but I really need a firmware pack for a prototype X10.
I received it for testing, and it seems someone flashed a generic stock firmware on it.
The result - a beautiful x10 with no network access, it can not register to any network provider.
If anyone has such a firmware, please PM me.
Thank you all

Maybe you need to enter the network setting (aka APN)? If that is not the problem then go here.

no, that is not the case.
Thephone is a prototype, and it can not use the network at all with shiped rom - meaning no voice at all - it acts as if it was in "airplane mode".
Thank you for your opinion, anyway
Hello Agarthian,
what SI (CDF) does the prototype have (Label below the battery)?
Regards - Nonixnarrez
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Build ap1
Si 1228 - 3677.1k 09w26
Thank you
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
Hi again,
I´ve flashed such a prototype (exactly the same type/data as yours) with a DE/CH generic software version (CDF/SI: 1235-7836). Only limitation of the prototype board is that Bluetooth is not implemented and speaker is weak.
Good luck - Nonixnarrez
Is there any way you could give me that specific firmware? I searched for it but i was unable to find it.
Would be most grateful if you could upload the file somewhere and PM me the download link.
Thanks in advance

Thank you, flashed this firmware but it seems that the problem was not caused by the firmware after all.
The phone still asks for "sim network unlock pin" - the phone is not network locked, being a prototype. The other X10's we received are just fine, this one just refuses to use any sim card.
Any other ideas? I'm running out of them.
Hello Agarthian,
I'm sitting here looking at the lovely X10i prototype that a major-manager at SE gave me some time back. It irritates me hugely not to be able to upgrade it to 2.1 and so I was wondering if this is what You have done/are attempting? If so, have You been successful?

Hi.
I have 2.1 on it, but this huge problem about not being able to use any SIM card in it. I really don't know if it originally came with 2.1, because someone else had it for testing before me, and I have no info about what happened to it so far.

Well my phone, with a higher SI-number than Your's (if that has any relevance to age) was certainly delivered with the 1.6 it is still running. So probably someone has done a manual upgrade of some sort on the phone to get it to 2.1. Have You spoken with SE support? I had a X10 Mini Pro that they actually took pity on and upgraded for me. It probably helped that I live in Stockholm and had an SE lab here close-by... No such service-mindednes this time round, though....
