Good afternoon, although I’m not really online here these days I thought this was worth sharing:

As you may know, SE are (supposedly) rolling out the next updates for the X10 and X8 which add pinch/zoom and speed improvements to things like MediaScape and you have probably discovered that this is occurring in a typically slow fashion!

If, like me you have grown tired of waiting for the update to reach your region but don’t want to use other full flashing techniques, here is a method which may help:

• Root your phone if it is not already
• Locate the file /system/build.prop
  you will need to edit this file on the phone or use a root enabled file explorer to swap it with a modified version
• Locate the following two lines:
  ro.product.name=X10_XXXX-XXXX
  ro.semc.version.cust=XXXX-XXXX
• The XXXX-XXXX represents your current regional kit number
  my UK Generic was 1235-7379
• Replace the kit number in these two lines with the Global Generic number - 1232-9897
  you may also use other regions with the available update e.g. Nordic – 1234-8465
• Once the build.prop file is correctly edited, reboot the phone and connect to PC Companion or SEUS
• You should be prompted with the available update and will not lose any user data

This worked for my UK handset and the update is currently downloading, hopefully it will work for you too.

Mik
