What you do with your phone is YOUR responsibility, I have not tried the above but the member at XDA says it works.

Hi,
because i know that all of you want to upgrade to 2.1 as soon as they can i decrypted the Nordic Generic (Nordic Combined) R2BA026 firmware for you and put it together with flashtool.

Just start X10flash.bat. It will ask you if you want to wipe userdata or not (if you wipe userdata you will be factory resettet, if not your settings and programs will stay).

- Thanks to Bin4ry - X10 R2BA026 Nordic Flashtool

Could you please provide the XDA link to view other comments

Maybe this is an opportunity for people to debrand to a Nordic firmware

I'm half tempted to but as it will probably be only a day or two difference I might just wait.

I'm tempted too, but I'm going to wait for the same reason as you lol

Updated the first post as Bin4ry has made a bat file to install the 026 Nordic FW. Still going to wait myself though.

I might do at some point, but have yet to find a real reason to.

Well I've just decided to go back to 2.1 need to make my mind up lol

Even with a few bugs it's better than 1.6. How did the move go?

Doesnt seem to be working for me on x10a Rogers. I do everything correctly. Once i go into pc companion and try to repair, it says that theres a problem with the update and to check internet connection, which is complete bullshit because all of my browsers work and i can browse with ease.

Didn't move today, the man with the moving van was "too tired" so he had to postpone to tomorrow, so we're moving tomorrow

 

[X10iUser]

Lazy c^&t, or was it YOU who were too tired lol.

That is 2.1, just flash it to your phone. What do you want, just a debranded 1.6?

 

[Mitek]

I'm using Nordic and will still get updates, just like I did after running Nordic 1.6 for a day.
