pity SE have said once a phone is flashed as 2.1 it won't go back to 1.6 lol

whats the minimum my battery needs to be charged before doing anything

Well it can be done at any amount, but it is highly recommended to have at least 50% before you do it, incase your battery goes dead half way through

[slugpace]

I wouldn't know if this works or not, but just in case

Downgrade from 2.1 to 1.6.. - xda-developers

Thanks to too many damn threads on the update, I have NO CLUE where to put this (this is ridiculous guys), so I'm just going to cross-post it.

I found this in the Comments section of the Sony Product Blog, someone claiming to know a slightly more detailed time-table; the only problem? No indications on how he knows this information, so it could all be bogus. But I figured I'd post it "just in case":

timetable:
UK – tomorrow noon
Germany – Monday
France and Benelux – Tuesday morning
Spain, Portugal – Tuesday evening
Italy, Greece – Wednesday
Russia – Thursday
Eastern Europe – Friday, except Poland (because of the NK application incompatibility, which is investigated now)
The rollout to other regions should finish before Nov 15

It took them months and months if not the better part of a year just to get the phone to even come to the US. I think it just finally showed up here about 6 weeks ago or something. The update to the USA will probably be sometime next year when the dual core Droid phones come out running 2ghz processors. We'll be so far behind.

Not 100% sure if you're being serious or not but Canada's about the last place to get.. anything tech related and SE Canada said the update would be november. Hopefully won't be THAT long^^

 

[highaltitude]

actually I am kind of serious. I've been watching this phone for quite a long time on the net. Its been in Europe and other countries for a long time now. AT&T just finally got the phone here where I live and I got an email from Sony when it got released and it was literally like 6-7 weeks ago or thereof. I do truly hope it doesn't take that long for the update to get here but for now I am enjoying the phone as it is... with some rooting anyhow, lol.

I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I have seen T Mobile and o2 mentioned in some posts. Does anyone have any news about Orange? My Xperia x10 is Orange branded and I don't know if this will slow down when I will get my update.

 

[kersey]

if you debrand to norwic firmware whats disadvantages or problems it can cause with being in the uk.

Before flashing to 2.1 I was on Nordic firmware for over 4 months with no problems what so ever, if you didn't know you were on Nordic firmware you wouldn't know.

Everything works the same as on UK with the benefit of getting any firmware updates a little sooner.

Oh, yes the downside, there's a Nordic app that comes with the firmware - just go to applications and remove it...that's it

Orange UK have told me that we should have 2.1 end of November

 

[Craiggers]

sat up till 4am uk time last night messing with this trying to get the bloody thing rooted. get to step 7 and it says device not found. ivegot device id in all folders, device id is the exact same etc.. but it hasnt installed "sony ericsson x10 driver" for some weird reason. think its cuz im on a 64bit os. working on it tho

 

[X10iUser]

think its cuz im on a 64bit os.

Nope, works fine on x64 for me. Retrace your steps and reread the guide, the majority of issues are user error.

 

[Craiggers]

ive re-read the whole guide it simply wont let me root. it wont find the device now

 

[X10iUser]

Use a oneclick app instead then - X10Root.1.0.8.apk - transfer to sd, install, run, root, done.

 

[morpheus2n2]

The only thing I need to make sure is that I can reverse the whole thing once my network release the update, my x10 is branded T-mobile UK 026, So how do I go about backing up the current branded rom so I can use flashtool later to revert back??
Or should I just wait cos its only goin to be a week or tow till I the release it

 

[X10iUser]

See the link in my sig, which I need to update as it has been simplified a little.

i can actually second that motion i work for radio shack and i can 110% guarantee that the first dual core android phone drops this week by t-mobile its call the my touch 4g. running dual core qualcom scorpion processor and android 2.2 with updates to 3.0 when it launches. (btw i live in the US) so i feel your pain and i hope the x10 update doesn't take to next year otherwise i fear i will be forced to sell this phone and buy something else. on another note ill let you all know about the 4g when it launches this week.

 

[Scottpeterbell]
