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.

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.
Hi,
I am from India and bought an HTC Legend with HBoot version 0.43.xxxx. I want to root my device. I have checked all the methods and everywhere, it says that I need a s/w version 1.31.xxx.x.
However, my s/w version is 1.32.720.3 after applying an update from HTC. Even before the update, it was in the range of 1.32.xxx.x. Does that mean I can never root?
Some users in another thread have suggested that those with this problem should get a WWE ROM from somewhere and flash with it to get s/w version 1.31.xxx.x. How to downgrade to a lower s/w version? I could not find any reference on that!
Please help. Can one of you come up with a tutorial for flashing HTC Legend with s/w version 1.32.xxx.x. This has become a much needed tutorial. There are so many people looking for it and it can be found nowhere! Please please help!
As far as I know you need to have root to install an older rom, which defeats the purpose.
Users with software version 2.03 are in the same boat. We just have to wait it out until someone can do it.
Hi,
my X8 doesn't upgrade to 2.1. I rooted the phone, following the procedure and tried severel customization code but nothing to do. SEUS answers that there is no update available for my phone.
Now, my X8 is a protype, it has the following values:
ro.semc.version.cust=20100831161743
ro.semc.version.cust_revision=R1A
Can someone tell me if I can update to 2.1?
What does exactly mean revision=R1A? Is the problem related to the revision and can I update the revision to a new version?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Would you like me to send you the build.prop file I used to upgrade my phone? It should work then.
Edit: Note when I upgraded my phone, I also took the sim out.
I tried with the SIM out with no success.
I going to send you a PM with my email for your build.prop. Thanks a lot.

Hi Guys,
I recently got Xperia X8, and I want to install Android 2.1 so I can use Wireless Tethering. But I can't upgrade my phone. It's not yet due for the 2.1.
Here are some info of my phone that might be helpful:
Model Number - E15i
Firmware - 1.6
Baseband version - unknown
Kernel Version - 2.6.29 / [email protected] #1
Build Number - 1.3.A.0.62
I have tried all four apps/software from this list and none works! =(

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

this is a russian 2.1 version but it is for dev phones, im pritty sure u can work it out

hope this works for u mate
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?
Cheers/M

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.
Thanks

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....
Thanks/M

Having the same issue... Have you found anything yet?
I am creating this thread as a follow up to this one HERE. It is to discuss an important topic/trick whereby the carrier on our x8 can be unlocked. I welcome with wide arms any comments about whether this worked on your phone. The thread summarises all the key points made there.
Please Delete this thread if this has been discussed already.Requirements:
-A locked bootloader
-The guts to unlock your bootloader
-An x8
-All you need to do is unlock your bootloader through flashtool. Many users including me, have reported a SIM unlock after doing this.
If you have used msm7227 to unlock. The only way you can do this is by relocking.
Although many may already know this I have created this tiny guide to help new users understand this.
