Hey Lollylost100: Any idea what the difference is between the new R1FB001 and the older R1FA014?
Also, any updates on getting apps through the market that are/were unavailable using the X10a Generic firmware (such as Tapatalk Pro)? I'd really like to de-brand but don't want to have such apps unavailable.

I don't know. This is the new update for X10a Generic Brazil. Nobody yet has confirmed if the Market is capped or not. |

How do you update using this method??
I debranded using the 014 band firmware but now I want to try the new 021 version.
When I went into the program data there were no large files anymore?? There were only small ones. The two large ones
are no longer there.
Is your method a one shot deal and then you have to use a new method to install the generic firmwares?
Confused!??

They are "temporary" files you will have to download them again thru the repair function and then overwrite them as you did the first time, that is my thought anyway.

Over on XDA, user dorifuto.boi has installed it. Here's his initial post:
XDA - Debranding X10 (post 275)
He goes on to confirm that "R1FB001 is baseband 1.0.21.", but that the firmware seems to suffer the same missing Market App listings as are seen using the generic NA firmware.
...
Which make me wonder: Does the UK generic firmware for the X10i also suffer the same missing apps in the market? Can anyone using it confirm whether "Tapatalk" (standard or pro) is available in the market

Hi friends,
I have a problem because I flashed my X10i with a X10a firmware accidentally. Now I want to go back to a X10i firmware with the tutorial but SEUS shows me no install button.
I've also try this tutorial with no success.
Can anybody help me please?
Thank you in advance.
Edit:
I've try it again and it works...now I have my X10i again 
Thanks for this tutorial.

Dear All and in particular AndyD, Lollylost and Xperiaman: Thank you very, very much. I was a complete noob to debranding a handset and couldn't afford to screw this up but the tutorial here made life very easy indeed. As well as very quick, I spent almost as long watching search not find the files, as the whole process took, until I stumble upon this nugget on XDA:
"on XP it's not on programdata.C:\\Documents and Settings\\All Users\\Application Data\\Sony Ericsson\\SEMC OMSI
Module\\db" Once that was copied into the Run dialog box, I was a free man in no time.

The only slight downer being that on returning homeI think the iMac knew I had been disloyal, as I had my first crash ever, and completely lost the utilities including Bluetooth File Exchange. Mercifully all fully restored now though.
Thanks again guys and to anyone being as indecisive as I was, it's highly recommended, everything seems better in 016, the keyboard and the screen in general seems more responsive, the call quality is definitely greatly improved and you can now add the direct dial option as a shortcut, effectively giving you speed dials back. Also forgot to say that I was still able to install both Orange Your Account and Film Wednesdays from the market, as I know that some of the Rogers users were saying not being able to do this kind of thing might prevent them upping to 016.
Great work all of you that made this happen. Cheers.
