Debranding ?

Fairly new x10 user here and just wanted to ask, is there no more way of debranding the X10 without rooting it? I am on custom philippines firmware R2ba020 and hoping to get the newer versions.

I made it with this:

xperiax10.net/2010/04/14/debrand-your-xperia-x10-tutorial/

No Root required.

I used that method at beginning of august and people claimed it didn't work then too

Sent from my X10a using XDA App

thats good to hear it still apparently works! what method did you use? switching the 2 update files last minute on SEUS?

I cant seem to figure out the PC companion method because the tutorials say I have to look for the DB folder in PCcompanion.. I cant seem to locate it even with hidden folders being visible. The only DB folder I could find was in the separate SEUS folder. I am using btw 64bit Vista ultimate

i have windows 7 ultimate but i tried switching at last second and didn't work. But one of the times i tried it didn't try to download my second try and just installed so maybe im lucky...
