ROM/FIRMWARE Upgrade

---

Ok I'm sorry i feel i might get flamed for making this post. I have tried to understand this process but am unable to. What are the best Firmwares out there? the custom rom? what does decrypted rom mean exactly? and am i able to put the Custom rom on a x10a?
I have read a round, but it seems the threads are very sloppy due to people posting some dumb remarks. Any how i found it to be quite confusing. I am also unable to find omnious.

Thank you to all the devs. I have been following these forums for around 4 weeks, keeping quite and out of the way |

Thank You again,
Brock

you can now flash through

1.
SEUS and change rom/debrand phone
those rom are in specific SEUS format

2.
you can flash decrypted rom using our flash tool
(decrypted toms are extracted from seus and you can dump them using android tools)

3.
we have custom roms ready but you will not be able to flash them untill root is available

how to check?

I search many times but cannot find any clear answer.
How do I check/know my x10 is branded/debranded/unbranded?

Pls help me getting a simple clear answer!
Thank you all

an branded phone is usualy sold by phone carriers
they add customisation and junk apps to those phones

an generic phone has only the junk from SE

it does not have anything to do with network lock

When I bought my x10 it was branded and I have no idea why since it wasn't from a carrier. Only reason I knew is because it kept telling me that my build 14 was latest but I knew I could upgrade to 16. I did the debrand process and then sure enough it updated to 16. So I have no idea why but I guess some are just randomly branded :P.

All I am trying to say is that was only way I could figure out mine was branded or not.

I found omnious, but it only recognizes my x10 for the first 2 - 3 min then it doesnt anymore, i have tried the battery pull, holding the back button.
i have registered at both locations.
I am installing the rom with no SE apps, is it possible on a X10a, or do i need to rebrand my phone to X10i.

You say the decrpted roms allow dumping does that mean faster performance?

Are any of those roms the new smaller update? i have read around DoCoMo has gooten the update already.

Thank You

1. Have your x10i screen in lock mode and lit up..
2. Enter Menu Back Back Menu Back Menu Menu Back
3. Click Service Info
4. Click Model Info
5. Under the heading Brand you will find whether it is branded by your carrier.
I.E if it says Orange then it means its branded by Orange, etc

If you install the custom rom you will no doubt brick your phone!
The custom rom(s) are for Root for when it comes.

As for your earlier problem i think you may have to activate your account via an activation email, check your spam folders etc. If that isnt the case then the most likely problem is that you are trying to flash a custom rom!

Ha I wish I had known this 2 weeks ago. Oh well mine says customized now :). And wow such a random hitting of buttons..

Ok, first off i would like to thank everyone for quick responses.

I havent even been able to get to the flashing because it ownt recognize my phone. I have uninstalled PC Campanion not to sure what SEUS is, I am logged into Omnious, its sees my phone while i am holdibng the back button then the SE shows up on my X10 and bom no devices connected.

Which rom is best for me to flash my phone with. I have seen post of people saying getting better reception. Are any of those roms the smaller update that is due next week?

I am getting fustrated lol, I am by no means a Dev but i am tech smart somewhat and am trying to learn as i enjoy this tyoe of thing

Thanks
