Radio version: 1.06.25.29
Windows Mobile Version: 6.1 ... CE OS 5.2.19608 (Build 19608.1.2.60)
i bought my phone unlocked, im using it in canada on rogers network..
if i update the phone software will it lock it? since there is 02_UK stuff in there?
please all the links to the latest version is very helpfull
also if you can explain to me how to install will be great
thank you
All official roms are here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475482
If you flash an official rom you dont need hard-spl as far as i know,
the how-to is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445662 or here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446070
Just read the rom development-forum...
About the SEUS - i think it is true waht it says, i didnt see any new ROMs for Canada, at least here on devs.
the phone is orignally from uk,, i did SEUS in uk last week..
now did it again here in canada..so same thing no update
i need to know what you guys recommend i should do..update what to what
also will my phone lock to its orignal network if i update? like i said its from 02 uk orginaly
and is the windows mobile version up to date? if you can let me know that will be great
I am not sure about this......
But I think that the SEUS application update is regional..
What I mean is that when you start it up and it ask you "Your Location" it will only check if there is an update JUST for the Region...
I have a X1i here in the US. When I first check, It gave me the same Message, "not update are available!!"
So I decided to change my Location to the UK!!
Viola!! it update my X1i!!!
hth,
Stuart
I dont really understand what you mean with "will my phone lock to its orignal network if i update?". Did you buy a locked one or what? actually if you have unlocked one it shoudnt lock whatever you do.
what you guys recommend
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
just go to rom development and choose any rom you like or update to official uk rom. Look what rom it is based on, the latest one is the r2a**010
thanks for the help guys, ill wait a little while and check SEUS again in uk region,,if not luck then i will manually install a rom

first i did US region,,no update
then i tried UK region twice...no update
so i dont know how you got it?
btw when did you update it?
Why dont you just download an official UK rom here on devs, copy it to your fat-32 SD card and flash it? you dont even need to hard-spl if you flash an official rom as far as i know and no need to think how to get seus to work.
Just connect it, it will update if it needs to, you won't see the update, but you will go through the procedures if the update is available.

[q] help please!!!!

hi everybody I have tried to root my xperia x8 because i wanted to update the android version to 2.1 , i downloaded the superoneclick 1.5.1 and i did all the steps i've read here but at the end it says "FAILED the device was not rooted" and in my phone it appears the superuser aplication but i can't access to the root explorer because this message appears:"Root explorer has not yet managed to obtain root access.Because of issues with Superuser, this often happens the first time the app is run but is usually fine from then on."
I have no idea of what is happening , i did all the steps:i put my phone in debug mode , then connect the phone and click "root" and it is still not rooted :S
If someone can help i would be very happy , i'm about to become crazy :S
HI
If you have android v1.5 Donut and you want to upgrade too android 2.1 just install PC Companion (Sony Ericson software that you get with the phone in the box) and let the aplication search for any update of firmware for X8.
actually i have 1.6 version i've tried to update it with pc companion but it says that it has the latest version....
Where do You live?
You have tried to update your phone via PC companion?
PC companion>Support zone>start> ... And it says that u have latest software?
Check phone status do You really have 1.6?
I live in Peru
yes i've tried that and i still have the firmware version in 1.6
help me please
You don't need to root your android to do the upgrade.. xD just upgrade with sony ericsson update service, and after that you can root your phone normally using 2.1 firmware..
Although, you need to substituite a file in superoneclick: "thecage.." to "neuter" but rename to the original.. (sorry if i can't explain well, but i'm portuguese and i'm 16.. xD) search on the forum or wait so i can post the zip file already working, because i don't have it on my phone..

He's in peru and it might not be updated there. There's no such thing as world availablity for sony-ericsson - it's different all over.
My best guess for you would be to use the flash from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=962014
There's at least 3 links to it, not sure if the torrent is still working.
It's set as russian CDA number, but you can change that - look on x8 forums for way to change CDA (don't have time to help with that just now )
also LuisDias, as he's from peru he might be able to understand some of your portoguese
Peru? I didn't read that part.. XD anyway, i can speak spanish if he didn't understand portuguese.. xP

You can flash with E15i firmware and then flash X8a baseband that you can find in thread in my signature bellow
...maybe there is a way to update with pc companion like he is in Europe...
And I read about updating from other country on development section.
Easy way it's changing the SI number so it solves it like a workaround, still i'm not sure if it provides his language (i think it does) after that he can even install froyo or ginger eh
There are lot's of tutorials with infos to do it right in dev section, check them out.
well... actually i have the flash tool and i found this firmware "X8 Shakira E15i_2.1.1.A.0.6_generic.ftf" but my xperia has the e15a version if flash it with this firmware what would happen?
you should get android 2.1.... and to your root issues you should set usb on debugging mode and you mustn´t mount sd card just set charge phone instead.
so no matter if mi xperia is e15a and the firmware i would use in the flash tool is e15i

New or old? 2.0.2.A.0.24

Im confused...today i update my x8 over seus and istalls this. any comments please
Which SI-Number do you have? Are you sure that it is not 2.0.1?
Edit: Seems that it's already availbile for X10 Users. Please share SI-Number. Any big changes in it?
no its 2.0.2.A.0.24...and when i installed on the boot showed some number 3...afterwars there was a app called 3apps..im confused...lol
i dont know where is this and what is it SI number...
How to find your SI-Number: open your phone and remove battery. Where your battery was there is a note:
For example:
Sony Ericsson E15i
SI 1244-4555 (<-My SI-Number)
Anyways: Try rooting your phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
but why is this number important? so is this softare the newes or what? im confused :S
That we can change our numbers and get the update, too
it seems that you have a Chinese ROM. also had (I installed it by flasher x10) and it was a plain, unmarked soft. in which country you live, what you operator that gave you the Chinese system? sorry for english
2.0.2.A.0.24 old firmware. New is 2.1.1.A.0.6
SI number is: 1244-3258.
Im from Croatia.
So is this firmware good or bad?...i still want to instar xrecovery & JIT ?!???
but why then seus installs older firmware??? i want the newest...
You could update your phone changing SI or installing custom Rom using xrecovery. (It should work on your firmware, too)
can you please give me the link for this?
and what is the LATEST x8 firmware? tnx
here is the list of x8 certified firmwares, not all of them been released for public
latest released is 2.1.1.A.0.6
yeah but i want to update it. so is better to change SI number or with xrecovery...? i think with recovery is easyer,please some links and infos. tnx

maybe is better to reflash via SEUS because of kernel change in 2.1.1.A.0.6
ps : na forum hr sam ti detaljnije objasnio situaciju
ps2: change si code to 1244-2356 - bonbon croatia or 1234-4999 generic CE
and here is how to change si code
hahaha a to si ti ))))) tnx
"OP" please delete this thread if you can, it's unnecessary, and definitely not for developers section, be kind and spare some of moderators time
Seus will install update based on that number. It is stored in software so you can change it. Semc release firmware different in different region. Search this forum for how to change it

This worked for me OP.Restore to 2.1,flash .52 bb and then install your custom ROM.
thats not right. If you want baseband .52 then you must flash Generic version 2.1update1 build 2.0.A.0.504. If you flash or have Generic version 2.1update1 build 2.0.2.A.0.24, then you'll have no signal when you apply baseband .52 patch. Therefore in plain English, flash Generic version 2.1update1 build 2.0.A.0.504, then flash baseband patch .52 and then flash the rom you want.
