Default Prototype x10 running 007

Hi all, before writing this i spent hours reading through the forums for answers and found this to be on hell of a forum, nice work!

This probably should have gone to the x10 debranding thread so if any mods are here and think that that is a better place for it, please, transfer it.

Anyhu, here's the sit...

So i'm from Croatia, Europe and i got my prototype x10 from Poland. It was really cheap so i didn't complain but i just recently found out that i'm running R1DA007 which probably none of you have. I've had the phone for about 2 months i think and it's been one hell of an adjustment from my old w810i...

The problem is, when i run SEUS it says that there are no updates available. The phone is unlocked and my carrier is Tele2 but i don't think that has anything to do with my problem.

I really have no idea what would happen if i tried to debrand this phone and get the 016 update that way. I'm guessing none of you know the answer as well but some of the experienced users might have an idea of what i'm getting myself into.

The thing is, i don't have any insurance for the phone nor do i have the money to buy a new one so i won't do anything which isn't at least 99% sure to work. There are no guarantees in life so i'm not asking for 100%.

With that update, i'm hoping to get a better software solution for my camera which is excellent in macro shots but sucks big time in landscape shot and such, take a look: img707.imageshack.us/img707/8921/dsc0064nv.jpg


Also, the keyboard just sucks. Hitting "a" or "l" is almost impossible from the first attempt so i tried installing this: xperiax10.net/2010/04/07/installing-the-htc-keyboard-on-the-xperia-x10 - but with little luck. I can now see the HTC_IME mod under locale & text and i click on the check box but still, the original android keyboard remains.

Also the white keyboard was "automatically" replaced by a grey /black one which i liked a lot more that the original white one but then it "automatically" disappeared after i restarted the phone. I couldn't find an option to change the current white one, how do i do that?

I need your help guys, any ideas/comments are welcome. Thanks in advanced.

You can't update your X10 until a flasher for it comes out.

at first i would choose the "repair" option in SEUS.
SEUS will then download your current firmware from the server.

you will need it if you want to try the debrand-option and also when something goes wrong.

PS: does your pre-version still have the front-cam in ?

It won't work. SEUS sends a query to the server with TAC and CDA. If one of them is not found then it doesn't update.

it's exactly the same physically as the new versions, it's just the software that's bugging me...

sorry for my ignorance, flasher for the prototypes or for the regular x10 devicer or it doesn't matter

is a flasher something that has to do with the device being rooted first? so i have to wait for the root and than wait for an application (i presume?) that can
flash my rom?

can you access the bootloaders or do you still get the permission error?

Yes, you need an application that can flash X10. From what I heard SETool team should have X10 flashing and unlocking soon.

Guessing your going to have to do a full flash, but why not when cooked ROMs are about.

Can you see if you can extract the boot.img from your device?
