Help with debranding HK x10i with new SEUS

Hello, I'm trying to debrand my HK x10i via SEUS. I get to the step where i navigate to the program files and DB folder after i run SEUS but the 100mb and 15 mb files are not there. I'm a noob so can anyone help me with this problem?
Also, do i have to use the HK generic firmware? or can i use the Nordic unbranded firmwares to get 23?
plz help sorry for the stupid question. I searched and i didnt understand any of it.

Please following new de-brand steps from web link, ww.xperiax10.net/2010/04/14/debrand-your-xperia-x10-tutorial/
It has Hongkong generic R1FA014 files there. Do the steps again to get latest firmware if it is available for Hongkong.
If you want 23, Nordic generic is also there.

I might be wrong, but I'm not sure that method works any more as I too had the same issues, that the files weren't there, and I'm sure I read something the other day when I was trying to do mine that it no longer works, which is how I ended up coming here and using this method - Newbies Guide to Rooting X10 and giving you the newest firmware!

Thanks for the correction, I posted the old link.

xperia x10a Update 2.1!

Guys i recived a tweet from SE Chile, well at least SE LAM saying the firmware was ready to update from all xperia x10a unbranded, now i need to know , if the 026 generic for x10a will update inmediatlly or i'll have to modify the build.prop with some numbers, in the moment i get 2.1 will decrypt the rom , and upload it... so if you can help me a little would be apriciated.
Regards

Have you tried SEUS and see if an update is available?
Hope we have a decrypted X10a ROM soon.

trying now, i almost brick my phone downgrading, you all guys should downgrade to a x10i version, i got that by using the 026 LAM , and almost get stuck :S
well bricked again T_T... i think its because when i use the new flash tool, it try to load the kernel but skip it, in the old firmwares never had a kernel.sin
any ideas?

You need to flash to 1.6 using the old flash tool. The new one isn't capable of flashing back to 1.6 as there was some changes that had to be made to make it work with 2.1 that made it incompatible with 1.6 for the moment.
Cheers, Brett

yep, thanks, i thought that so, i already started to flash again with an old flashtool , we'll see what happend

It's supose that the actualization is via PC companion, well i can't even make it rapair my phone..., beside that it keeps teling me that i have the lastest software, but in SE say that they release it... now, when the nordic firmware came up, they modified the build.prop with some especific numbers, if some one knows about that, could tell how to get the rights numbers... or were did they get them before the actualization?
Regards...

there are some files with 1.4mb but I d't know how to recognize them
I will start do zip the archives and send to a sharepoint
tks

I am running the GLOBAL 2.1 ROM. If anyone wants to go to this Generic Brazil X10a, just use the default.prop method to change to 1234-4836.
Run SEUS and reinstall. It works.

no TIM logo, it shows SE logo. So it could be Generic LAM FW, but in the customer-region list says 1234-4836 is a TIM. i'm not sure but it's not important

The live wallpapers are the same.
The search widget has an voice search added, and this works very well!

Still looking into that

[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..
Sent from my Sony Ericsson X8 using XDA App

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

Firmware is "X8 Shakira E15i_2.1.1.A.0.6_generic.ftf" I think what i need is a E15a firmware .Does someone where can i find one?also give me instructions of how to use the flashtool please

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

branded(t-mobile) NL firmware

You don't need to reflash the original customization, just make sure your bootloader is locked and you can repair with Sony Update Service without issues.

impossible, the usb connector responds 1 of a 10000 times(and if i look to it, it will disconnect..), and i am on .254, so no root without downgrade, so just only need the FTF file of the NL tmobile rom, other ways i dont start with it, i'm too scared that the usb connector will permanently die

I suppose you mean 10.1.1.A.1.253? Just root with this: [Z][ROOT] DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit (v15) {perf_event exploit}[20130624]
Then use this guide: [GUIDE] Download ANY firmware customization from Sony & create an FTF with Flashtool
to change your customization number to 1270-3839 (part A)
and restore stock firmware (part B)
Yes, you would have to connect your phone, but that's the same with Flashtool + FTF.

Also had to send in my T-Mobile NL Xperia Z for warranty a few months ago. Don`t worry about not having the T-Mobile branding anymore.. Any original rom (with locked bootloader) will do (at least, it did for me) :good:

Hi,
Do you have branded device (o2,orange,tmobile or something)
IMO Sony update shows only generic firmware update...
Do you have any issues with this ROM ?
