Whilst many in Europe are rejoicing about finally getting hands-on with the Android 2.1 Xperia X10 update, spare a thought for those running X10a handsets (typically in North America) with no sign of an update on the horizon. Step forward the guys over at xda-developers who have been continuing their sterling work by releasing a flash tool that allows X10a owners to load the Eclair update.
The flash tool only works on Xperia X10 handsets and not the X10 mini family and nor the Xperia X8. The great thing is that 3G works with no problems once the update is completed. If you don’t want to wait on Sony Ericsson to release the Android 2.1 update, the guys over at xda have provided a real alternative for any X10 owner globally. Kudos to them.
Okay guys.
Here is new X10flash for Firmware 2.1 Version (old 1.6 Firmware can not be flashed with this at the moment).
Windows 7/Vista Users should diasable UAC!!
Download Flasher: (Update 2.11.2010)
http://www-stud.uni-due.de/~sfanmakr...0Flash-2.1.zip
You will see that there is a new Folder "firmware" the firmware files must be inside this folder!
Download Firmware:

Put the extracted files into the new "firmware" Folder and run the X10flash.bat
You have to wipe your USERDATA !! This is important, otherwise you will enter Bootloops etc.
Also be sure SEUS is NOT running! (But at least it should have detected your phone once)
THIS FIRMWARE IS ONLY FOR X10 NOT FOR MINI (PRO) or X8 !
But the flashtool should be capable of flashing all Xperia Series now!
If someone decrypts the Rom you can try it
IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS LIKE "Unable to Open Channel" please try this guide:
Make sure you have your 2.1 firmware inside the "firmware" folder.
1: press start and search "regedit"
2: click edit>find, and type in "Vid_0fce&Pid_adde". You should find "DeviceInstance". Copy the last section of that, it should look something like "5&2888d0ff&0&1"
2.1: If that fails to see anything, make sure "Match whole string" is un-ticked, and click "find next", if that fails, try "USB\VID_0FCE&PID_ADDE"
Note: It changes with every diffrent USB port you use
3: Put that number into DeviceID.txt
4: Open up x10flash.bat, and answer the question (s)
5: switch off your phone, hold DOWN the Back key on your phone and plug your USB cable into the top of your phone, and press enter.
If done corrently it should start going through all these commands.
As stated above, it MIGHT take awhile to boot your phone at first, its not instant. Just give it time.
