Sony Ericsson Android XPERIA

[doodah]

Not much difference though it was pretty fast before this update. Clearly performance is faster for stock/non JIT users. My peak score has crept up a wee bit in quadrant.

Another new SE due.

X10 Firmware update 2.0.2.A.0.24

Nothing here on mine? ive got the firmware you helped me to get a few pages back if that makes a difference.

Have you looked on both SEUS and Sony Ericsson PC Companion? Mine was on the Generic Global at the time when PC companion popped up with the update message.

 

[Its_Me]

Checked mine and both SEUS and Companion say it is upto date?

currently on 2.0.a.0.504

Your handsets are they running UK for Global firmware?

good question m8, i am not 100% sure as IIRC it was global but that was prior to the 2.1 update.

How to check ?

I would assume so, i followed the steps you outlined on how to get 2.1 so if that was the uk one then thats what ive got lol.

Also,
any way to get the unlock screen from the X10 2.1 version into a 2.2 froyo rom for the Orange SF ?

CES is looking good

 

[doodah]

Certainly looks the part. Things have been a bit quiet on the X10 front, think the ASOP 2.2 ROM has had a little progress.

I think I might try the above when I get my charger back.

For anyone who hasn't used it - xRecovery is a very handy app that lets you flash and install all of these updates and ROMs in a....flash

Automatic Installation (recommended):
Open xRecovery installer app and tap "Install xRecovery"

Manual Installation:
- Download the apk, rename it to xRecovery-0.2-release.ZIP
- Unpack the file, find ./res/raw folder inside. It should contain 3 files (chargemon, busybox, xrecovery.tar)
- copy these 3 files into /system/bin using root explorer (remember to remount /system rw

Once installed, all you do is press the back button several times once you see the white SE logo after rebooting or turning on your phone. In most cases, you just select custom zip/update (assuming you have already put it on your SD card). It is very useful and a doddle to use. Again - hats off to zdzihu from XDA.

Nope ive tried SEUS and the companion, both say ive got the latest - so dunno whats up with that

The stats on the phone are
baseband 2.0.46
kernel 2.6.29
build 2.0.a.0.504

 

[doodah]

KnightStalker - can you not install the recent update (2.0.2.A.0.24)? Have you considered using xRecovery to do it? Took me less than a minute to do it.
