X10a Users can now get Android 2.1!

looks a bit more complicated but thats just my view, will 99.9% be the same stuff
 
when i use the flash tool and select 4 for windows 7, it says "please connect Xperia in flash mode.", what is the flash mode?

edit

never mind about that i'm having a blonde moment, i'm getting an error with java not being recognised, what is wrong/?
 
Hey, i don't think its corrupted cause its the same i used and it worked fine.flash mode is where you disconnect your phone from the computer and have turned it off, wait like 5 secs and while holding the back button you should connected the phone with the computer again . If the screen is black and you are holding the back button and now have the green "charging light" on, you are in flash mode :-)

what happens exactly and have you extracted the firmware to the "firmware folder" in the flasher folder?
 
So I updated last night (no issues, got it on 1st attempt and did it in about 10 minutes) and had about a day to play around with the phone. HUGE THANKS TO CUBZ AND EVERYONE FOR THE TUTORIALS! Anyways, I'll point out the things I think others have not talked about and list a few of my issues or questions. Was previously on X10a with Rogers (Canada).

Things I've noticed:
- after flash, the phone will be a bit sluggish, but after about 5 minutes, you can notice a major difference in the speed compared to 1.6

- for Chinese users, the Nordic FW DOES support Chinese, so if you were concerned with that before (like I was) then your concern should be eliminated now

- the Slide to Unlock screen isn't as smooth as it can be, and I think it'll be like 1.6 where the next update should fix it

- new calling interface is really slick and nice (the sound quality in phone calls seems to have improved too as my girlfriend said the background noise is drained out better than before)

- battery so far has been impressive (half a day with texting, playing around, downloading apps, live wallpaper running, etc. and still have 84% left as of right now after a full charge)

- Market works fine for me (only FC once, but worked fine again almost immediately)



Questions/Things I haven't figured out yet:
- on the lockscreen, there's an alarm icon on the top left and something that says "This phone belongs to: - - - protected by antivirus". Anyone got an idea how to get rid of it?

- any idea how to get facebook NOT to automatically sync facebook pictures with my contacts? I can't stand the low res pictures...i had to delete my facebook and twitter accounts from Timescape cuz they just automatically synced my contacts pictures...and then I had to manually delete each contact picture...NOT FUN!

- another thing about contact pictures. I manually set display pictures for a few of my contacts, but even though the pictures worked like a charm when i was on 1.6, the contact pictures seem to have been downscaled for whatever reason when I call someone. The picture just looks fugly and I'm already manually adding the contact pictures. Anyone got the same issue as me? If so, any way around this?
 
I tried actually flashing mine because I was bored. Here is my issue, running win7 64-bit, downloaded java 32-bit, added the path in system variables, got device ID from regedit and entered in txt, firmware is in folder, put phone into flash mode hit enter and I get:

INFO: start
java.io.IOException: Unable to open channel. GetLastError=0

wtf.
 
Awesome, I just finished mine and it is so sweet, finally live wallpapers, everything seems ok, It says 10i now but just until rogers releases theres
 
got everything sorted out, but now my pc doesnt properly detect my phone in flash mode. SEMC USB Flash driver is not installed properly, would this be the reason?
think it might have something to do with running 64-bit OS
 
This update thing sounds great, but if I convert my X10A to X10i will the phone be recognized by SEUS for future updates?

Thanks!!
